Two months later:

In the palace of the Rus Kingdom, the king came to the Wenhua Hall where the sixth prince Andy took classes early today, and today's day is very special, because according to the formal cultivation of the prince and daughter of the Rus Empire, the study is generally completed before the age of sixteen, and after the graduation, it is a journey. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At the beginning, the eldest princess graduated at the age of 13, and went out to travel around the Quartet without knowing her mother's family, although it caused some turmoil, but she did not violate the rules, and the prince and the princess traveled in the Quartet after adulthood, but it was too appalling to travel to the enemy country alone like her, and the king later in order to prevent others from following suit, he strictly issued a clear rule that he must report here before traveling.

Today is the day of Andy's graduation, and it is also the day when he is about to leave to travel, this kid is gifted and intelligent, and the king is naturally very concerned about the things he travels, so he came to the Wenhua Hall very early, and he didn't wait for him to run to say goodbye to himself.

"Your Majesty!" When the prime minister saw that the king had arrived in person, he secretly said in his heart that the six princes were really deeply favored, and at the same time, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"The child sees the father!" Andy also hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Haha!" The king waved his hand, smiled and asked them to sit down, and he found a place to sit down, and the people around him hurriedly arched the black tea, and the king slowly pressed it and then asked, "How is the graduation grade of Xiaoliu?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Andy is gifted and intelligent, a rare encounter in a hundred years is an old minister, I have only seen it in my life, and his achievements in all aspects are very good, and now he only needs a little experience to become a pillar."

"Hahahaha!" The king laughed heartily when he heard this, he is a prime minister who does not tolerate sand in his eyes, Xiaoliu can get his approval, it is very difficult, and it can be regarded as fighting for himself, thinking of this, he looked at Andy with a smile: "Xiaoliu, where do you plan to travel after graduation?" ”

Andy is also a little excited, for people of his age, the yearning for the outside world can be said to be very strong, but he is not as kind as his sister, at the age of 13, he dared to go out to travel around the world without his family, and he didn't bring a single guard.

"Father, I want to go to the six northern cities!" Andy said with some excitement.

"The Six Cities of the North?" The king's eyebrows were raised, and his originally happy face froze for a moment, and then he asked, "Give me a reason!" ”

Andy said excitedly: "I want to see what the city recovered by the fourth brother is like, and now the six cities in the north are in ruins, I heard that the fourth brother has gathered hundreds of thousands of people from the previous territory and the surrounding area of the empire to settle down in the city and start a business, I want to see how the development is, and I also want to ....."

"I also want to learn from your eldest sister to go to the royal court for a walk, right?" The king asked with a smile.

"Father's eyes!" Andy was knocked out of his heart, and he was a little embarrassed to spare his head, and the king also looked at the child with amusement, for this child to worship his eldest sister, in fact, he was not disgusted, and dared to show his worship, it was better than those other brothers who were jealous of Carter and secretly alienated her!

Andy's eyes showed hope, the legend of his eldest sister Carter he heard from a young age, riding alone, entering the royal court alone, and leaving the legend of the red-haired knight in the royal court grassland, that is, it has been sung everywhere by some bards over the years, which makes Andy have a great yearning for this trip since he was a child.

Looking at Andy with stars in his eyes, the king secretly laughed, but then shook his head: "You can't go to the six northern cities!" ”

"Uh......" Andy said anxiously when he heard this: "Why?" ”

A hint of gloom flashed in the king's eyes, and then he said with a solemn face: "And in the future, you'd better stay away from your fourth brother!" ”

"Father's ......" Andy was a little puzzled, why did his father have such a bad impression of the fourth brother Canaan? He whispered, "But the fourth brother is an imperial hero." ”

"Hero of the Empire?" The king sneered, and then asked, "I ask you Xiaoliu, why did your fourth brother call on the population to settle down in the six cities.....

"That's ....." Andy was suddenly stunned, suddenly thought of something, and then froze!

"Can't tell?" The king continued to sneer, "I'll tell you for you, because the original people of the six cities were slaughtered by the imperial heroes in your mouth!" ”

"But ....." Andy was stunned for a moment, and then wondered: "Isn't that because the royal court once also slaughtered our people?" ”

"It's not such a child...... "The king said that the city was slaughtered at the beginning, but it was just to coerce the cities behind them to put pressure on them to give up resistance, in fact, in the six cities, the royal court only slaughtered a city, do you know what this means?" The king looked at Andy and said coldly: "It means that most of the people of the six northern cities are actually from my Rus Empire!" ”

Andy: ".........."

"I'm also very curious about why the fourth brother did this, the general effect of slaughtering cities is to suppress the rest of the cities in addition to improving morale, but at that time, the last city had already been breached, and when your Imperial Sister Mina was still in the city, he actually ordered the slaughter of the city? It's actually very unnecessary. ”

"Maybe it's because of the political threat of Sister Mina?" Andy asked cautiously.

"Mina's political threat?" The king shook his head and smiled: "It seems that you are still too immature politically, what kind of political threat can you have with Imperial Sister Mina?" ”

"What does my father think?"

"I don't know...... the king shook his head with a heavy face: "I always feel a little weird, so you'd better not go to your fourth brother." After a pause, he looked at Andy with a disappointed look, and comforted: "Don't you like your Royal Sister Carter?" Can you go to her and see the prosperity of Bianfan? ”

Andy's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he hesitated: "But I heard that the six cities of Bianfan have been closed!" I don't want to trouble the royal sister alone....."

The king smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, I just got the information, and it's already open to the public!" ”

Andy: "Oh? ”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In one of the directions north of the East China Sea Empire's route, there is an island country with a fairly good national strength, and over the years, because of Carter's policy and the prosperity of the shipping route, this island country has also benefited a lot and has received a lot of sweetness.

But now it is a little different, the shipping route is blocked, the Shenyang Empire has announced full preparations, their warships can be seen everywhere on the sea, the shipping route is frozen, and the island country has lost business, but the protection fee of the Shenyang Empire is not less than half a cent.

At this time, the king of the island country was negotiating with the envoys of the Shenyang Empire.

"Your Excellency, Envoy......" The king of the island country said with a blue face: "Now that the route has been blocked because of your war, which has caused us heavy losses, is it too unreasonable for you to continue to charge for the escort of the route?" ”

The envoy looked at the other party with a sneering expression: "Your Royal Highness, my empire has been ensuring the safety of shipping routes all these years, protecting your caravans, and making your business prosperous, but now that the empire has been provoked, don't you think you need to support us?" ”

Hearing this, the king smiled angrily and said: "Shenyang has collected escort fees from so many countries for guarding the route, and that fee can almost cover one-third of our commercial tax, isn't it your responsibility to protect the safety of the route?" ”

"Duty to fulfill?" The sarcasm on the envoy's face became even heavier: "Without our empire, you can have such a prosperous business?" Without the brave men who opened up the route back then, would you be able to figure out this convenience? You say that we collect one-third of your commercial taxes, but isn't the remaining two-thirds higher than the agricultural taxes of your small island nation? It's really cheap and good, I'll put it here today, the empire is now at war, you allies, you must fully support the supply of the empire, if not! The threat on his face was very obvious!

When the king heard this, his face was gloomy, and a trace of sadness flashed in his heart, this is the sorrow of a small country, you look at the six cities of the Rus Empire, the lord Carter said that the city will be closed, and he said that the merchants of Shenyang will be driven out, why don't these people come to collect taxes?

There are so many reasons, after all, it is still the reason for the weakness, the strength is strong, no matter how you say it, it makes sense!

"Your Excellency!" Suddenly, someone ran in and said eagerly: "Our fleet has been attacked!" ”

"What?" The messenger was stunned for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face: "Are those damn monsters again?" ”

"No, it's a ship!" The soldier looked excited: "It's the flag of the side sail!" ”

"What? The flag of the sidesail? The envoy was surprised at first, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Do you really think that our empire has fallen?" You Ross also want to fish in troubled waters? On the water, don't see if you have that capital! ”

Then he waved his hand and said: "The fleet sails, let those dogs re-understand what it is to be a sea overlord!" ”

"Roar!" The soldiers around the messenger also showed a hideous smile, this time was upset by those inexplicable monsters, and there was no place to get angry, someone dared to take the initiative to provoke, this pillow was really timely!

As for the opponents? They scoffed, as long as it wasn't those inexplicable monsters, at sea, regular ships, no fleet could rub the fur of their Shenyang Empire!
