Chapter 687
It is definitely impossible for Changkong to recommend Baili Hongzhu to meet Ma Feifei. After all, the relationship between the two is husband and wife, and he has to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, Zhang Yunji would not have told Ma Feifei about this before.

"Ma'am! Aren't you making things difficult for your husband?" Zhang Kong said with a bitter face, he is quite old, how could he have the nerve to go to Ma Feifei and leave the back door?

But Baili Hongzhu didn't answer, she glanced at her daughter Baili Chuxue, now Baili Chuxue is pregnant with Liujia, her belly is well formed, and she will give birth in a short time. His face is also full of richness.

"Daughter, look at your heartless father. Back then, he cruelly abandoned us and let us depend on each other. Later, he insisted on saying that he didn't know about it, and kept promising to take care of us for the rest of our lives. Now my mother just Let him go to the owner of the magical bookstore and say a few words, but he refuses in every possible way and refuses in every possible way, since that is the case, why did he make such a broken promise in the first place!"

Baili Hongzhu's eyes were red as he spoke, which made Zhang Yunji and Changkong beside him dumbfounded. Zhang Yunji was fine, after all, he was just a son-in-law, but Changkong couldn't. His face, no matter how thick his skin is, he can't resist it.

"Ma'am, let's be reasonable, you're taking things out of context!" Chang Kong walked behind Baili Hongzhu and was about to squeeze her shoulders to show her favor.

Baili Hongzhu stared, Chang Kong's hand immediately stopped in mid-air, and finally retracted tremblingly.

"Do you think I want this? It's been less than half a year since the woman ascended the throne, and she has called the 'Twelve Kings Meeting' three times. The meaning behind the words is to take back the twelve 'spiritual crystals' allocated to us by the Overlord of Chu back then. Vein mines, to curb the development of our 'Twelve Kings', and seeing that the empress's attitude is determined now, these twelve spirit crystal vein mines will be returned to the country sooner or later, and at that time, it is bound to be very cruel to us. The Second Prince's family had a great influence."

"This is not just a matter of a spirit crystal vein mine, but also a signal from the empress to us. If we don't want to resist, the next step will be to be ruined by the empress." Having said that, Baili Hongzhu lightly He sighed, his eyes filled with resentment.

The few people around were silent when they heard the words. This matter had been spread throughout the upper echelons of the Chu state, so they naturally knew it clearly.

In fact, not only the Twelve Kings of Chu, but also many families, kings, and kings who were rewarded by the overlord of Chu at the time, were all summoned by the empress. In the past half a year, they have gradually controlled the entire Chu country, so that even if they have thoughts in their hearts, they dare not directly confront the empress.

Since they didn't dare, then the outcome of this matter is basically settled, and only when the Empress gives an order to send someone to take over the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine they have dug for thousands of years.

Of course, although the Spirit Crystal Vein Mine is a fixed asset, it may not have a particularly large impact on these people. Each family has been operating for thousands of years, and has already had a source of income for their own family. Many families even have not only It is a spirit crystal vein mine, and losing one is nothing at all.

The empress also grasped this point, using her own power and coercion, and finally completed the recovery. Although each of these families felt uncomfortable, but fortunately they were all within the range of tolerance, so in the end they could It went so well.

But is the queen's big move just to collect a few spirit crystal vein mines?Obviously not, many people understand that the empress is going to start attacking them "kings" and "lords".

"Actually, this is the trend of the times, so why are you so persistent?" Zhang Yunji sat down suddenly, and Zhang Yunji quickly stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea, and Chang Kong drank it in one gulp, persuading him.

"What is the general trend? The Chu Kingdom has been established for more than 5000 years. Since the overlord of Chu, the 'Twelve Kings' have stood on this continent. It has lasted for [-] years. This is the general trend!" Baili Hongzhu said sharply, obviously she He was not convinced by what Changkong said.

Changkong shook his head, glanced at the sky, the snowflakes were flying, the world was completely white, he let out a long sigh, and said: "Now is not 5000 years ago, this sky will always change."

"Does father mean that the mainland will eventually be unified?" Baili Chuxue blinked her eyes and asked softly.

Baili Hongzhu also frowned and stared at the sky with a puzzled look on his face, only Zhang Yunji seemed to understand something, and stood beside him without speaking.

Changkong heard the words, nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "Yes, in recent years, the Canglong Continent has been undercurrents. Qin Shihuang's ambition to rule the world is well known. The meaning of Qin Shihuang's struggle for hegemony is that Yan, the prince of Yan, is cowardly, but his younger brother Yan Xun is also determined to be a city man, and he is unwilling to lag behind others. It can be said that the kings of Qin, Zhao, and Yan are quite ambitious, and it just so happens that they collide with each other. In an era like this, the situation of the five kingdoms will definitely be broken."

"Not to mention..." At this point, Chang Kong turned his head and glanced in the direction of the imperial capital, and said meaningfully: "Our new emperor is also a strange woman, and her ambition may not be smaller than that of Qin Shihuang."

"Have you ever heard a saying called 'respect the king and fight against the barbarians'?" Suddenly, Zhang Kong asked them.

Baili Chuxue and Zhang Yunji were at a loss, not knowing what Changkong meant.

"I know, it comes from "The Legend of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period" in the Four Books and Five Classics. It is a sentence said by Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period." Liu Ying, who was standing aside, replied.

Changkong heard the words, glanced at Liuying appreciatively, and said, "Yes! It seems that I have read a lot of books."

"Hee hee~~!" Liu Ying seemed very happy to be praised by her master, her smiling eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"What do you mean by this sentence?" Baili Hongzhu was stunned. She thought she was well-read, but she had never heard of this sentence.

Changkong didn't directly answer Baili Hongzhu's words, but said to himself: "This "Spring and Autumn" is one of my favorite books to read when I have nothing to do. I was puzzled, so I went to the shop owner and the elderly to discuss it, and finally benefited a lot from the shop owner, because I have a deeper understanding of this sentence."

"Crack~!"

Baili Hongzhu slapped the table, the tea almost splashed out, Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows, stared at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Speak human."

"In order to fight against the outside world, we need to secure the interior. The new emperor is preparing to stabilize the interior of Chu State and prepare for her conquest of the world!"
