I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 507 Two-front battle
The Imperial Palace of Chu State, Chengming Hall.

Xiang Ning became more and more proficient in government affairs and was able to personally correct memorials.

However, she still pestered Fan Li to leave a clone to stay with her day and night.

Of course Fan Li could only agree to such a request, which was almost like a newlywed's, and he was happy to agree.

"Fan Li."

"Ok?"

"Why do you place orders with Wei, Han and Wu in the name of Chu?"

"How much will it cost to supply nearly a million troops with supplies, including weapons, armor, elixirs, and siege equipment? Do you plan to empty out Fan's Trading Company?"

Xiang Ning's face was full of confusion.

"Especially, Chu State can obviously produce the goods on these orders!"

"It is said that wealth does not go to outsiders, so why are you taking advantage of others?"

Fan Li couldn't help laughing after listening to Xiang Ning's words.

indeed.

In terms of productivity, even the Ming Dynasty was slightly inferior to the Chu Dynasty, not to mention the Wei, Han and Wu Kingdoms which only inherited part of the legacy of the Old Han Dynasty?

"Actually the reason is very simple."

"Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei are dead. The vitality of the three kingdoms has been severely damaged. The country is weak and the people are poor. Ordinary people have problems with their basic livelihood."

"As long as everyone in the three countries works hard for the large orders provided by me, they can make money and have no worries about food and clothing. The financial distress of the three countries can also be alleviated."

Xiang Ning listened to what he said and nodded in understanding.

It makes sense for allies to support each other.

only……

Xiang Ning blinked his big black eyes, his suspicion undisguised.

"You would be so kind?"

Who is Fan Li?

The most treacherous minister in the world today is so treacherous that he secretly founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor.

In comparison, Yan Song is a loyal minister who can build a chastity memorial arch!
"wrong!"

Xiang Ning picked up a memorial and carefully looked at the contents. It was about the specific specifications and standards for ordering armor and weapons from the Three Kingdoms.

"The armor is three times thicker than normal?"

"The hundred-smelted steel used for forging weapons was changed to thousand-smelted steel?"

“Either quality is the best, or quality is replaced by thickness?”

Xiang Ning was stunned for a long time after reading the memorial.

"Fan Li, if the Three Kingdoms follow your request and complete such a huge and high-standard order, I'm afraid they will have to hollow out the domestic mines and collect all the herbs, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Fan Li said with a smile: "What I am doing now is to re-equip the Chu garrison according to the ordnance standards of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. The raw materials required are huge, and I cannot bear to empty out the natural mineral deposits and other resources of Chu State, so I will I just have to...hehe!"

Heavenly soldiers and generals?

Xiang Ning was stunned for a moment, then thought of something!
Shi Jingtang?
Li Yu?

The format of weapons and armor described in this memorial was clearly made according to the standards of the heavenly soldiers under Shi Jingtang and Li Yu!

She was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide, and it took her a long time to recover.

"you……"

"But the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu have exhausted all their resources. What will they do?"

Xiang Ning simply couldn't imagine what this would look like?
Everyone in the Chu army was armed to the teeth, and it was of unprecedented fairyland standards.

The soldiers of the Wei, Han and Wu kingdoms were faced with the dilemma of exhaustion of resources.

Should they be made to wear commoners and fight with wooden sticks and bamboo poles?

"Fan Li, do you plan to raise the price on the ground? Wait until the resources of the Three Kingdoms are scarce, and then sell them weapons, armor and elixirs at a high price?" Xiang Ning asked cautiously.

This is the limit of her imagination, and it also fits the image of Fan's business company making countless money.

Unfortunately, Xiang Ning was wrong.

Fan Li looked at her quietly, but shook his head.

"After the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, I will not sell another piece of armor or sword to the Three Kingdoms."

"Why!?" Xiang Ning asked in surprise: "Aren't we all allies?"

"ally?"

"The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, why do we need allies?"

Fan Li's tone was normal and natural, but there was a hint of cruelty in his words!

"this……!?"

Xiang Ning stood up abruptly.

Her eyes widened, finally understanding the metaphor in Fan Li's words.

If you are not a friend, you are an enemy. yes.

The world has been divided for a long time. In fact, there is no need for so many countries to exist.

So, is this the fate of the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu?

But what to do with Chu State! ?

Today, Fan Li is not only the regent and minister of Da Chu, he also founded his own country and proclaimed himself emperor, dominating the country!
Can Fan Li allow Chu State to continue to exist?

"Fan..."

Just as Xiang Ning was about to ask, the man in front of him suddenly disappeared out of thin air, as if he had never existed!

"Fan Li?!"

"Fan Li!!!"

"Where are you???"

Xiang Ning screamed, his voice full of panic.

Unfortunately, her calling failed to bring Fan Li back.

But there was still one more person in Chengming Hall.

Cold moon.

Dressed in white like snow, she appeared silently in front of Xiang Ning.

"What happened to Fan Li?"

"Aren't you two together?"

Xiang Ning had tears in his eyes and shook his head in fear.

She was about to say something, but Han Yue suddenly turned around and looked outside the palace in surprise, which was the direction of Fan Mansion.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Ning's nervous voice trembled slightly.

"It seems to be Fan Li." Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "His cultivation level has reached the Mahayana realm."

"Great great... Mahayana realm?"

"You mean, Fan Li can practice [Pangu Giant Body] now?"

Xiang Ning was completely shocked.

Fan Li finally has a place among the strongest realms in the world?
But what should she do?
What will be the fate of Chu State in the future?
"Xiang Ning, we want to congratulate him." Han Yue smiled.

"Yes...yes."

Xiang Ning's mind was in a mess and he only answered casually.

"He's here." Han Yue said again.

really.

Although Pengcheng is the capital of the country, it has a high city and a vast area.

But for a powerful man in the Mahayana realm, Fan Li had already entered the palace and arrived outside Chengming Hall in the blink of an eye.

"I am in the Mahayana realm." Fan Li walked towards the two girls with a smile.

When he came to Han Yue and Xiang Ning, without even thinking about it, he put his arms around one of them with his left and right hands and hugged them gently.

Hanyue was okay, leaning on his shoulder gently.

On the contrary, Xiang Ning, who was usually a hundred times hotter than Han Yue, was stiff and even trembling slightly at this moment.

"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Fan Li asked doubtfully.

"No..." Xiang Ning shook his head repeatedly.

Fan Li didn't pay much attention and simply explained his situation.

Now, he only has two bodies left.

One is here, and the other is in the army outside Haozhou City.

"You must be careful. Haozhou is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty after all. Beware of Emperor Jiajing's schemes." Han Yue frowned and said, "If it doesn't work, I will go to the army to protect you?"

"No need."

"This time, I really have a good connection with Emperor Jiajing."

Fan Li smiled mockingly.

"At the beginning, I announced the attack on Haozhou, so that the Ming army did not dare to invade the border. Now, Emperor Jiajing also baited and abandoned Haozhou on the spot to attract our army, so that he could take the opportunity to send troops."

Xiang Ning finally regained her composure. When she heard this, she hurriedly asked: "Emperor Jiajing sent out troops? Did he march personally again?"

"It's not the imperial commander's personal conquest."

Fan Li shook his head.

"The Ming Dynasty, with Xu Jie, the second minister of the cabinet, as the commander-in-chief, and Lu Bing, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards, as the supervisory army, broke through the Han border at dawn yesterday and killed Han generals Zhang Yi and Wu Ban."

"Han Emperor Liu Chan personally led the Wudang Fei Army to fight and urgently reported to me for help."

　I was a little short today, had a stomachache, and was sealed in the toilet...
