Fengling, a place where the Dong family has been passed down for thousands of years, with beautiful mountains and rivers. From a distance, it looks like a phoenix taking off. However, a master battled a while ago, one of his wings was knocked off. Now it looks like a phoenix landed on the ground, which is particularly desolate.

At 10 noon, the sun shone and it was a little hot. Although Fengling and Longyuan were side by side, the environment of the two places was completely different. The Longyuan River surrounded it, but there were very few rivers here, and there were many peaks, but none of them were very high.

"Who are you going to send to guard Fengwu City?"

In a separate courtyard, Princess Qinghe and Gu Qingci walked side by side.

"Li Dongwu," said Gu Qingci: "Xingtian Mansion was first established, and I don't have many people to use. It just so happened that Li Dongwu was originally from Qingzhou and was also well-known in the world. It was just right for her to come to Qingzhou."

"Li Dongwu?" Princess Qinghe was stunned for a moment and suddenly said, "I remember that she is the girl from the Li family in Qilin County. Last year, you went to the Li family to make trouble because of him. I have also heard of her. She has a good reputation in the world. However, her strength is probably a little weaker. Xingtian Mansion is different from ordinary forces in the world, and your mission is also different. Although you only have a Fengwu City, it is not just a city."

As the eldest princess, Princess Qinghe naturally can see clearly that Xing Tianfu's interest in this world is a bit like the Six Gates, but it does not belong to the court, but it has a strong Six Gates nature.

Gu Qingci took every step very carefully. This time he accidentally entered Qingzhou, and his steps were praised very little. He just chose Fengwu City. Looking at Qingzhou, it was very inconspicuous. He would not have friction with local forces, nor would he be concerned by all forces in the world. However, Princess Qinghe, who had been in Fengling for so long, knew very well how critical Fengwu City was.

In Qingzhou, there is the Princess Mansion in the north and the Tianxia Alliance in the south. There are some local aristocratic sects in the middle. After this reshuffle of power, Fengwu City is just right between the north and the south, and there are some small aristocratic families around it. It is not worth worrying. The princess mansions and the Tianxia Alliance on both sides just need this city as a buffer.

If Xingtian Prefecture is determined to be here, it will have a great advantage in uniting and tying, or developing together. In addition, even if something happens, unless all forces in Qingzhou have to take action against Xingtian Prefecture at the same time, Xingtian Prefecture will always be very stable and can establish a hub with all forces and become a link between Qingzhou and the south.

This is why Gu Qingci chose this city, which is also the main reason why Princess Qinghe suspected Li Dongwu's strength. This place seemed inconspicuous, but it was an extremely important place for Xingtian Mansion.

Gu Qingci nodded and said, "In addition to Li Dongwu, I will also send a great practitioner of the Heavenly Destiny Realm here. This is enough. No matter how many, it is not suitable. After all, this is Qingzhou, not the black domain."

Princess Qinghe turned around, and the face without traces of time was serious, and the black eyes seemed to be shining in the night sky, saying, "Mr. Gu, I want to ask you a question."

Gu Qingci stopped and said, "Please tell me your Highness."

Princess Qinghe said: "At the time when the young master first made his mark in the world and entered Beijing with the general trend, I began to pay attention to you. You are a very strange person. Even if you didn't have the current identity and strength as a guarantee, you lack a sense of awe of the imperial power. Now, you also lack a sense of indifference to human nature. Sometimes you are like a man in the world, and sometimes you are like a Confucian gentleman, which makes people unable to understand and cannot understand. I want to know, what do you think about Xia Kingdom?"

Gu Qingci pondered for a long time and said, "You are wrong. I maintain awe of everything. As for the Kingdom of Xia, I like this land and this country where Confucianism has produced true gentlemen. This is a freedom, freedom beyond the times. I don't want it to be destroyed!"

A smile appeared on Princess Qinghe's face, as fresh as the flowers bloomed.

"If Xingtian Mansion needs it, I will never refuse!"

Gu Qingci nodded and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Actually, you can call me Qinghe!"

…………

Chang'an, in the hot summer, seemed to be softened by the sun, and the whole city was sweating.

In the imperial city, Emperor Xia sat in the pavilion to escape the heat. The water on the river seemed to be much less. The hot breath enveloped this world's No. 1 majestic city, so the palace was naturally indispensable.

"Sir," Emperor Xia renewed a cup of herbal tea for Mr. Wuque and said, "Is this kid Gu Qingci a little big this time?"

Mr. Wuque took a sip of herbal tea, closed his eyes slightly, and his face was filled with unspeakable enjoyment. When the herbal tea entered his throat and stomach, he spoke and exclaimed: "I have lived for so many years, but it is better for that boy to enjoy it. At this time, he understood why that boy had to be fully cultivated, but he had to be exposed to the sun, rain, frost and snow. Only in this way can he feel the beauty of the world."

Emperor Xia smiled slightly and said, "But it is true. If it weren't for the sun and the heat was unbearable, how could you feel the refreshingness of this herbal tea entering your throat? That boy is an elegant man!"

Mr. Wuque nodded, put down the teacup, and said, "This time, he didn't make any big moves. Buddhism lost to him, which has become a fact. What else can I do? I can only make wedding dresses for Xingtian Mansion. Watching Xingtian Mansion rise, as for this time, the black boy traveling north to Cangzhou is just his selfish intentions. It is also a good thing for Confucianism. The style of teaching in the South China Sea has not passed, and the journey to Cangzhou will push Confucianism to a new level, so why not do it?"

Emperor Xia shook his head slowly and said, "I am certainly not worried about you with you, but what I am afraid of is that if Confucianism develops too fast, will it be like Buddhism, fantasizing about the change of dynasties."

Mr. Wuque said: "You are right, but you ignore Gu Qingci's strength. Confucianism can only cooperate with him at most and cannot control Gu Qingci's ideas. Moreover, unless you destroy the imperial examination system, Confucianism can only rely on imperial power. After all, the scholars who truly control imperial power are not Confucianism, but also aristocratic families."

"However, Your Majesty can rest assured now that Gu Qingci's development has far exceeded our expectations. This century-old disaster should be fine, at least, there is more hope than before."

"Yes." Emperor Xia frowned and slowly relaxed. This time, Gu Qingci took the lead and took Buddhism with all his strength. This time, he really gave him great confidence and made him look forward to Gu Qingci even more.

"By the way, sir, this time Gu Qingci arranged a northward journey for his brother. Are there several aristocratic families along the way?"

Mr. Wuque smiled slightly and said, "They are fighting against aristocratic families. It would be fine if these aristocratic families didn't come out. They came out and just prepared momentum for that black boy. How can he get him to take down Cangzhou City in one fell swoop!"
