"So, is this a new technique you got from Planck's treasure house?"

Sitting in the military tent, Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows and stared at Jiang Siyu with a little anger.

However, at this moment, Jiang Siyu returned to her former calmness and quietness. When Yao Ruoyu stared at her, she just nodded slightly and replied softly: "It's not considered a new martial art. I am practicing both martial arts now."

Yao Ruoyu frowned when he heard this. Everyone can practice multiple skills at the same time, but they are usually divided into core and auxiliary skills. For example, he can practice multiple skills at the same time because of the special nature of tricks. However, Jiang Siyu probably does not have the characteristics of tricks in the previous "Nightinging Heart Method" or the so-called "Reverse Yu Shooting Technique".

Seeing Yao Ruoyu frowning, Jiang Siyu smiled and explained: "Don't worry, although I practiced two mental methods at the same time, the "Nightingale Mind Method" mainly enhances my eyesight and abilities, while the "Reverse Feather Shooting Technique" focuses on skills and agility, and the two do not conflict."

Seeing that she was full of confidence in her words, Yao Ruoyu stopped talking, but turned to look at the other people in the tent.

At this moment, everyone sitting in the tent was from the Literature and Art Department, including Zhang Ziqiang, Yang Renjie, Li Huan, Li Yilin, Fu Zan, Ren Jiasheng, etc. Only Song Kai, Xu Xuanrong, Hou Jingru, Wu Xue and Hu Xian were not there.

After just finishing the competition with Jiang Siyu, Yao Ruoyu, who almost capsized the ship in the gutter, was not easy to act in front of the soldiers. He could only pretend to be a hero and cherish the hero, and then called Chen Meng and others to enter the military tent together.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu looking at everyone, Yang Renjie couldn't help asking, "Old demon, what's the matter with calling us in?"

"Of course there is something wrong. What's your IQ? I'll ask?" Fu Feng rolled his eyes and complained in anger.

"That's to say." Li Yilin naturally did not miss every opportunity to show his presence and quickly inserted his mouth to speak. Unfortunately, no one else noticed his words.

At this time, there were only a group of people in the Literature and Art Department, so they would not be as serious as they were outside, and they returned to their jokes before traveling through time.

Hearing their jokes, Yao Ruoyu suddenly sighed and said lightly: "This time I call you together, I want to talk about the next exhibition of the Literary and Art Army."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Zhang Ziqiang's bloody eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly said, "Do I want to avoid it?"

With a slight curl of his lips, Yao Ruoyu said speechlessly: "Ziqiang, you are not someone else, why are you avoiding?"

Zhang Ziqiang stopped talking when he heard this, while Fu Zan frowned and said, "Brother Yao, we all know the next exhibition, but we need time."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this. They were all college students, and the education they received was naturally not comparable to those of people of this era. Even if their wisdom was not as good as Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai and others, their IQ was definitely not low, so they naturally knew the current situation.

The city-state now seems to be famous in China, but everything is a castle in the air, completely based on Yao Ruoyu's combat power that can match the five realms. Once Yao Ruoyu has problems, the entire city-state may collapse immediately.

In name, there are Yao Ruoyu, Bai Junru and the masters of the two major surviving clans in terms of military power in the entire city. In terms of strategy, Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, Bai Qiuyu and others seem to have both civil and military skills, but except for Yao Ruoyu, the strength of others is only three realms and four realms. Bai Junru is only an ordinary fifth realm. Even if he relies on the Baihe magic array, he can at most compete with the fourth level of the fifth realm.

As for the military, although the Literary and Art Army has six battalions and an extremely terrifying strong army of the Dark Night Dragon Cavalry Army, Yang Renjie and Jiang Siyu are all in three realms. Even if they can match the fourth realms with secret techniques, compared with other armies, they are still too weak to support the name of a vassal state.

Think about the other vassal states of the Song Dynasty, overseas Japanese, Western countries, and the fiefs of the vassal kings with royal bloodlines. Which one does not have the sixth level masters? In addition to these sixth level masters, there are at least ten of the fiveth level masters in each vassal state.

In fact, there are various reasons why Hezhou City was able to become a vassal state independently.

Yao Ruoyu's combat power that rivals the fifth realm, the support behind Chu Kuangge, the participation of Dali and Xixia tribes, and Qin Hui's intention to recruit Yao Ruoyu, and perhaps even more.

However, even though it became a vassal state, Hezhou City was just a small city in the eyes of many people. Even if there was a vassal city, it was still not enough to bear the title of a vassal state.

Actually, Jiang Siyu and others knew about these, but they had no choice. Now they have built a complete framework for the entire city-state, but they do not have enough strength to stabilize them. Unless one day, they all become masters of the Five Realms. At that time, Hezhou City was truly qualified to be a vassal state, or even... independent of the country!

Seeing everyone's expressions differently, Yao Ruoyu sighed and said lightly: "Since everyone knows it, it's best. Hezhou is located on the border of Song and Jin. With our rise, the Jin Dynasty's eyes will definitely shift towards us. So next, I don't know when the real Jin army will attack... It's not the bandits like Wanyan Ye, but the truly well-trained Jin Dynasty elites."

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and then they fell silent because they knew very well that Yao Ruoyu's words were not speculations out of thin air, but facts.

"So next, I will ask Mengmengda to build two Tongyuan Halls. I need you to break through to the fourth realm within half a year." Looking around everyone, Yao Ruoyu's voice suddenly sank, "If you can't break through, then disband your troops."

Seeing Fu Feng and others suddenly stunned, Yao Ruoyu said solemnly: "This is not a joke. If you are less than the four realms, you can't protect yourself in the national war. Since that's the case, it's better to be an ordinary person to save your life. I don't want to receive your death one day."

Although Yao Ruoyu said something ugly, no one refuted it, and everyone fell silent with a complicated expression.

Knowing that they all need time to digest this requirement, Yao Ruoyu said a few simple words and stood up and left the military camp, rushed to the Ministry of Personnel, intending to find Xu Xuanrong to discuss the establishment of Tongyuan Palace.

Unexpectedly, after he came to the Ministry of Personnel, he learned that Xu Xuanrong, who had always worked in the Ministry of Personnel every day, did not come today. According to the servant, Xu Xuanrong worked very late last night and might still be resting at home at this time.

Yao Ruoyu thought about it and asked the servant to inform the other party when Xu Xuanrong came to the Ministry of Personnel that he had been there. Then he turned around and left and returned to his leader's mansion.

When he returned to the mansion, the guards at the door reported that Wu Xue and Hou Jingru were coming and were in the backyard with Wanyan Fuchan.

When he arrived at the backyard, Yao Ruoyu saw Wanyan Fuchan, Wu Xue and Hu Xian sitting in the red pavilion in the backyard, talking about something. From his expression, Wu Xue looked angry, Hu Xian’s expression was leisurely, while Wanyan Fuchan was full of excitement.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu appear, Wanyan Fuchan nodded with a smile, Hu Xian smiled and greeted him, Wu Xue curled her lips, looked disdainful and contempt, and didn't know what she was despising. However, this girl always looked like this whenever she saw Yao Ruoyu. After a long time, Yao Ruoyu was too lazy to pay attention to her.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Yao Ruoyu sat down with a shaking coat and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"What, no?" Wu Xue immediately flattered her mouth and said dissatisfied, "The leader is amazing? Is it amazing to be able to fight the fifth level? Is it amazing to have a girlfriend?"

After holding onto his forehead, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Milk has felt that you have a deep grudge recently!"

"Is there any?" Wu Xue blinked her eyes when she heard this, and then snorted, "Watch your love all day long, you will of course suffer a lot of grudges like me."

"Where did I show my love?" Yao Ruoyu immediately burst out laughing and smiled.

"I think there is, then there is." Wu Xue snorted.

Wanyan Fuchan was curious when she heard it, and Yanran smiled and said, "What is showing love?"

"Well, it's just that the couple shows love!" Hu Xian thought for a while and explained to her.

"Oh!" Wanyan Fuchan nodded suddenly, then looked at Yao Ruoyu charmingly, with waves rippling in her eyes, which made Wu Xue and Hu Xian shake their bodies, and almost got goosebumps.

Seeing Wanyan Fuchan deliberately making trouble, Yao Ruoyu smiled unconsciously, patted the back of her hand to signal the other party to be quieter, and then smiled and said, "Are you still used to it when you come?"

"It's pretty good," Hu Xian nodded with a smile, "Li Huan and Yiqi, I live at Siyu's house first. It's relatively quiet here, unlike Hangzhou where I can practice the piano with peace of mind."

Seeing that she was not uncomfortable, Yao Ruoyu nodded with confidence, then smiled and said, "By the way, what are you talking about just now?"

Wu Xue suddenly flattened her mouth when she heard this and hummed, "I lost my stuff."

"Did you lose the thing?" Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, Wu Xue continued, "Yes! It's so strange. I obviously put it away, but it disappeared later..."

"What?" Yao Ruoyu said curiously.

"The letter Chu Zheng wrote to me!" Wu Xue replied depressedly.

"Chu Zheng?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes suddenly opened slightly and he said excitedly, "He is writing to you?"

Pouting his lips, Wu Xue said angrily: "Yes, I wrote to me after the fight. At the beginning, I was sorry for what to attack us. Later, I talked to me about the various scenery in Chongqing... I was so annoying. I am a Chongqing native, so I talked to me about what I have to talk about in Chongqing!"

After thinking for a while, Yao Ruoyu nodded as if he had some understanding and said with a smile: "Then have you replied to him?"

"I'm back, but it's so strange," Wu Xue pouted and replied, "It seems that he has never received it before, and he never answered my questions every time he wrote."

Yao Ruoyu was unhappy and glanced at Hu Xian. Seeing that she was also expecting her, she laughed and said, "Maybe your house is too dirty and caused a mouse to eat the letter."

He said casually, but Wu Xue jumped up like a cat with her tail stepped on, and stammered and said angrily: "You, your house is dirty! My house is very clean, so there is no piles of garbage, hum! No!"

Yao Ruoyu suddenly widened his eyes and then laughed wildly: "No way? Piles of garbage? Wu Xue, don't you clean it? Or are your servants too lazy?"

"Where are any servants?" Wu Xue, who was not paying attention to her, raised her waist and hummed, "You can enjoy it, I don't want any servants. It's great to live by myself. I'm not used to having others at all."

When Yao Ruoyu heard Wu Xue's words, he wanted to laugh at him, but for some reason, he suddenly fell silent.

Yes, as modern people, they have never enjoyed the treatment of servants everywhere at home. For them, the home is private. When there are too many outsiders, the meaning of home changes.

Yao Ruoyu may have adapted, but Wu Xue has not. What about the others? Yang Renjie, Jiang Siyu, Chen Meng, Xu Xianrong? Are they used to it again?

Just as Yao Ruoyu, Wanyan Fuchan, Hu Xian and Wu Xue were talking in the pavilion, a servant suddenly came over quickly and whispered: "Master, Minister Xu is here to visit."

"Cute and cute?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Wanyan Fuchan with a strange look.

When Wu Xue next to him heard the man's words, she looked gloating, as if she could see a good show immediately.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu looking at him carefully, Wanyan Fuchan curled her lips without realizing it and sneered: "What do you think I'm doing? If there are guests, hurry up and receive them!"

"Oh, okay." Yao Ruoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and walked out of the yard.

After he left, Wu Xue's eyes turned, and suddenly the thief approached Wanyan Fuchan and said with a smile: "Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Wanyan Fuchan said with a laugh.

"Yao Ruoyu is...but..." Wu Xue never expected Wanyan Fuchan to look like she was fine. She couldn't say what she had thought about. She couldn't say that Yao Ruoyu used to like Xu Xuanrong, right? This really turned out to be sowing other people's feelings.

Through previous communication, Wanyan Fuchan also understood Wu Xue's childlike personality, so she didn't care. She smiled and picked up the teacup and drank it, and said softly: "If he likes Xu Xuanrong, he will marry him."

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Fuchan was so generous, Wu Xue opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak, and Hu Xian looked at her in surprise.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Wanyan Fuchan became confused: "What's wrong?"

"You, you just don't care?" Wu Xue said in surprise after a while.

"Why care?" Frowning slightly, Wanyan Fuchan said in confusion, "He is a vassal king of the Song Dynasty. Of course, I will not be the only woman. If you marry a few more children, you can strengthen the family."

Hu Xian and Wu Xue looked at each other and were speechless. Only then did they remember that Wanyan Fuchan was an ancient person and did not have the concept of monogamy in later generations.

*—*—*—*—*

Just as the three girls were talking in the backyard, Yao Ruoyu had already arrived at the front hall.

Xu Xuanrong was sitting in the front hall drinking tea. When he saw him coming in, he put down the teacup and smiled and said, "Brother Yao."

Seeing Xu Xuanrong, Yao Ruoyu was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw that the other party was generous, he calmed down and nodded: "I happen to have something to tell you."

Xu Xuanrong frowned slightly when he heard this, then nodded as if he had some clarity and signaled him to speak.

Yao Ruoyu was not in a hurry. After the servant brought tea and snacks, he waved his hand to retreat to the others in the house, and then told Xu Xuanrong about the plan to build two Tongyuan Halls.

"Tongyuan Palace?" Xu Xuanrong narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said lightly, "The cost of Tongyuan Palace is not low, and the consumption of later use is probably astronomical. Although the city-state's tax revenue has been relatively abundant in the past three months, I may not be able to make it difficult to build Tongyuan Palace."

Nodded, Yao Ruoyu replied: "I know this, so the construction cost is paid by me personally, and I just borrow it from the city-state's finances first."

"How long will it take to pay it back?" Xu Xuanrong asked directly without any ambiguity.

Yao Ruoyu thought about it and replied: "Half a year is enough."

"Okay, the monthly breath is halfway." Xu Xuanrong smiled.
