Li Chengkong and Dugu Shuming stood quietly in front of a small wooden pavilion, looking at the valley that had changed.

"Master, if it doesn't snow..." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

Li Chengkong glanced at her: "Do you want to snow to make me embarrassed?"

"Of course not." Yuan Ziyan smiled like a flower.

Li Chengkong snorted and swept towards the smiling Xiao Miaoxue and Xiao Meiying. It was obvious that they both had the same thoughts.

"Mr. Li, can it really snow?" Xiao Miaoxue looked at the sky and shook her head and said, "If it weren't for what you said by Lord Li, we would have scolded nonsense."

They don't believe it at all.

But it is useless for them not to believe it, Your Highness the Princess believes it.

His Royal Highness was really fascinated by him. He believed everything he said, and believed everything he said lies with his eyes open. I really don’t know what else to believe.

The more this happens, the less they dare to be arrogant. Li Chengkong has no choice but to deal with them, but the princess can deal with them.

They won't punish them hard, just let them suffer a little, and not give them a good look, it's enough to bear it.

After the entire valley was completely finished, a huge tent had been formed to cover the sun.

After the soldiers finished the work, they all became curious, not knowing what they were going to do and why they built such a place.

"Cover the snow." Qin Wu said loudly.

Everyone was talking.

They could not see any signs of snow.

Qin Wu smiled and looked at everyone, looking at Dong Datong.

But Dong Datong remained silent.

He didn't agree with it either, but he couldn't resist the princess's orders, and the princess listened to Eunuch Li's.

"Make a fire and make rice!"

They were busy for the past half day and were already tired and hungry.

Li Chengkong looked at Dugu Shuming with a smile: "Are you not worried?"

"What am I worried about?"

"I'm worried that they will be confused by me if they say you listen to others."

"Hmph." Dugu Shuming showed disdain.

Li Chengkong said this seemingly impossible thing, which is a great probability, otherwise he would have slapped him in the face.

Through his own understanding, Li Chengkong will not say things that are unsure. Since he says it, it is very good.

Although it seemed ridiculous, she still chose to believe it.

Yuan Ziyan glanced at Li Chengkong from time to time.

She felt that Li Chengkong must be playing drums in his heart and was self-doubting.

If it really doesn't snow, his face will be really disgraceful.

Such a big fanfare and so hard work, his journey was delayed due to his mistake in judgment, and the soldiers were wasted such great efforts, which would definitely cause public anger.

Li Chengkong stood in the wooden pavilion and said angrily: "Ziyan, you are going to be disappointed, don't even think about watching my fun!"

"What are you talking about, how dare I?" Yuan Ziyan chuckled.

Li Chengkong glanced at her sideways, too lazy to say more.

"It's snowing!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

Under the bright sunshine, snowflakes like goose feathers float down.

The bright sunshine cannot melt them, they thickened rapidly, and in a short while they have become thinner.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Chengkong.

"Mr. Li, how did you see it?" Xiao Miaoxue hurriedly asked, "This is too strange."

If it was dark clouds before, it would be outrageous to judge that there was heavy snow, but it would be outrageous to judge that there was heavy snow in such bright sunshine.

Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Let's experience."

Xiao Miaoxue pouted her red lips.

He had any experience at a young age. As far as she knew, he had been staying in the Forbidden Palace, and the Xiaoling Mausoleum for a while, without any heavy snow.

The heavy snow fell, and the accumulation became thicker and thicker. It quickly dyed the surroundings white and then covered everything.

At night, the valley is brightly lit.

After dinner, Li Chengkong and Dugu Shuming invited Dong Datong over and sat in the small wooden pavilion to talk.

Dong Datong was reserved and did not dare to look at Dugu Shuming in front of his eyes.

Dugu Shuming's skin under the light is like cream, flowing with a white and warm luster, and there is a faint redness like rouge in this luster, with a white and red color, which makes people feel even more heart-pounding.

He didn't dare to look at Dugu Shuming directly because he was afraid that he would lose his composure and lose points in Dugu Shuming's eyes.

"Why do you have to do this?" Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Your Highness is not that strict, just speak normally."

"Yes." Dong Datong nodded.

Li Chengkong said: "I think the combat power of the Shenwu Guard is far less powerful than I imagined, why?"

Dong Datong was stunned and hesitated.

"It's okay to just say it." Dugu Shuming said: "I also want to know. I originally thought the Shenwu Guard was very powerful."

"Your Highness, the Shenwuwei Wei is far from being comparable to the Liuyun Iron Cavalry. It is vulnerable to the Liuyun Iron Cavalry, which does not mean that the Shenwuwei Wei Wei is weak."

"That's not so vulnerable."

"this……"

"The Shenwu Guard in front of me is not the Shenwu Guard I imagined. What's going on?"

"Maybe it's because there are too many noble children." Dong Datong glanced at the surroundings.

Li Chengkong waved his hand.

Yuan Ziyan and Xiao Miaoxue and Xiao Meiying floated out of the pavilion, and no one was around.

"General Dong can speak freely." Li Chengkong said.

Dong Datong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Your Highness, everyone knows these situations. The Fourth Battalion of the Imperial Guard is far from the Imperial Guard Battalion."

“Why?”

"As there are many noble disciples, you will lose your energy."

"What else?"

Dong Datong said: "The training of the Fourth Battalion of the Imperial Guard is equally strict and looks mighty, but this is just a fancy move, but there is no change without real fighting. The original Imperial Guard of the Imperial Guard was to be brought to the battlefield, but now this system has been abolished. It is different from having not been through the battlefield and having experienced it."

"Well, I know this." Dugu Shuming nodded: "Six years ago, the father abolished the four camps of the imperial guards' training system."

Originally, the Fourth Battalion of the Imperial Guard was divided into two groups, one in Shenjing and the other in the border area, and the defense was changed once a year.

Six years ago, the system of replacing defense was abolished, and the fourth battalion of the Imperial Guards returned to Shenjing, and the border was no longer stationed.

This is due to the pressure from the nobles in the court, and it is a compromise. Now it seems that the consequences have been shown.

The combat power of the Shenwu Guard rapidly declined. Although it was sharp and powerful, it was still vulnerable. Even if it was placed on the battlefield, it might not be much stronger.

"This is nothing to do." Dugu Shuming frowned and pondered.

Even if she decides, it will be the same decision. Under the pressure of many nobles, she can only compromise.

I'm working hard, can't my son enjoy it? I have to continue to work hard to kill the whole family to be loyal?

Then why do you have to fight for the emperor?

This will inevitably lead to dispersion of people's hearts and unstable countries.

"Yes..." Li Chengkong sighed.

No matter how smart he is, he will be helpless with such things. People's hearts are irresistible, so it must be Dugu Qian.

So sometimes the decline of the court cannot be stopped, just like the rise and fall of the tide, the rise and fall of the sun, and the setting of the sun cannot be stopped.

"Fortunately, the people's lives are well-off." Li Chengkong said.

Being able to buy so much food and grass at once means that the people still have surplus food at home. No matter what, the people will not rebel if they are not hungry and will sit steadily.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the army is, the people will go hungry, and chaos will inevitably arise. Once chaos is in vain, it will be taken advantage of by others, and the dynasty will not be far away.

Dong Datong said: "The people in this area are very wealthy. After all, they are close to Shenjing, but if they cross the river, it will be different."

"Is there a rioter?" Li Chengkong asked.

Dong Datong nodded slowly.

Li Chengkong frowned.
