Dong Yun slowly lifted the gauze from her face, letting time pass by and all things change, but still could not leave the slightest trace on her beautiful face. Dong Yun was a peerless beauty who was favored by the former prince all his life, and even more so.

Shangguan Susu's biological mother was naturally beautiful, like a fairy. Now, she has added a mature charm, and her weather-beaten eyes made her look even more noble. Even Muchen glanced at her a few more times.

"Mrs. Xiao misunderstood. Nowadays, there is no Princess Dong Yun. There is only a poor woman who has lost her family, her husband, everything, and is burdened with hatred. Madam, you can call me - the Princess of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow." Dong Yun said to her.

I am still very conflicted about my past.

The Dong family was originally a top-notch nobleman standing at the top of the empire. In the entire empire, apart from the royal family, the most powerful family was the Three Dukes. However, a few decades ago, the Dong family was also among them. Together with the Murong family,

The Nangong family and the Yuwen family are collectively known as the Four Dukes. They are all the founding heroes of the empire. They have been the pinnacle of power in the empire for hundreds of years.

It was just a change a few decades ago that not only caused the death of the crown prince at that time, but also the Dong family, one of the four princes, was massacred. The entire family was wiped out. Only Dong Yun survived by chance.

To evade pursuit, Dong Yun even used a secret method to allow Shangguan Susu to stay in her body for many years. Such hardships are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is probably the hatred in her heart that has been supporting her.

"Prince...Palace Master, what's the important thing for you to come to my palace in person?" To be honest, Xiao's mother didn't want to get involved with the former prince. After all, he was a wanted criminal in the entire empire.

It’s better to keep a low profile in Zhenshan Palace.

"My Lord, I came to the palace today to discuss the alliance between the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow and Zhenshan Palace."

Xiao's mother was startled and said: "Unite? Chen'er, you are planning to unite with the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow." The alliance between the two forces is a major event, and Xiao's mother does not dare to relax at all.

Muchen: "Mother, I do have this intention, but we also need to see what benefits the palace master can bring to my Zhenshan Palace?" Since it is cooperation, there must be mutual benefit.

To be honest, Muchen just lacks time now. As long as he is given enough time, Muchen is confident that Zhenshan Palace will achieve greater glory and even surpass the entire empire. If there is no place in the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow that can attract Muchen,

Muchen didn't want to cooperate with them. At most, it was just a matter of keeping in mind the well's dealings.

The Palace Master of Everlasting Sorrow also knows that the cooperation between the two parties is based on equal strength.

"My young prince, Su Su must have told you that the former Moon Night Killer Organization was founded by me."

Muchen nodded to show that he knew.

"Although the Yue Ye organization was destroyed by Shangguan Jue and sent people to suppress it a few years ago, Yue Ye has existed for so many years and has established a very large intelligence network. We even have information on most of the nobles in the empire.

, these are all top secrets, I believe that Zhenshan Palace will definitely need them."

Muchen had some thoughts. If he could make use of Yue Ye's intelligence network and build his own intelligence system on this basis, it would be much easier. At least, it would save Muchen several years of development time.

"Is that all? If that's all, then the cooperation between us is not quite equal." Although these intelligence networks sound very useful, in summary, it is just a matter of time. As long as Muchen is given time, it will be the same.

A very sound intelligence system can be created, even better than Yue Ye's.

"Of course it's not just these. In addition, our Palace of Everlasting Sorrow has already taken over four cities in Ding'an County. These four cities happen to be bordering Nanshan County. If we can unite, we can build a city in this area.

A solid base camp, not to mention the population resources and numerous supplies of Anding County are superior to those of Nanshan County. Once we join forces and establish a base camp, even if the royal family sends troops, we will be able to fight."

Anding County is located in the southeast of Nanshan County and is a territory bordering Nanshan County. The lord is Shangguan Hao, the seventh prince of the current emperor. Although Shangguan Hao is also the son of the emperor, his biological mother is just a maid in the palace.

Being humble, Shangguan Hao was ostracized by the major nobles as soon as he was born, and his status in the imperial capital was low. In addition, Shangguan Hao was weak since he was young and could not practice cultivation. He was always disliked by the emperor. The emperor threw Shangguan Hao into the corner of the empire.

In order to prevent Shangguan Hao from dying in the imperial capital in an unknown way.

Although Shangguan Hao is the lord of Anding County on the surface, he has no real power at all. He is just a pawn used by the emperor, because the easternmost city of Anding County borders the Kingdom of Qin. The Kingdom of Qin is a small country under the rule of the Celestial Empire.

The Great Qin Kingdom has gradually become stronger and stronger in recent years, and its strength has grown by leaps and bounds. With a disobedient heart, the Emperor nominally made Shangguan Hao the lord here. The real purpose was just to find a reason to send troops here, in order to prevent the Great Qin Kingdom from rebelling.

There are seven cities in Anding County, which is an important border area of ​​the empire. The Palace of Everlasting Sorrow can occupy four of them. It can be said that it has captured most of Anding County. The remaining three cities are all controlled by the royal family. Ordinary people dare not attack them.

their attention.

Anding County is different from small valleys like Nanshan County. It is an important trade route. Many small countries have to pass through Anding County when worshiping the Celestial Empire. This also results in the fact that Anding County is more prosperous than Nanshan County.

In terms of topography, Nanshan County is backed by endless mountains and connected to the Hopeless Desert to the north. The mountain roads are rugged and the terrain is complex. It is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack fortress. The only flaw is the Anding County in the south. Even without the addition of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow, Mu

After Chen pacified Nanshan County, the next step was to capture Anding County. In this way, the entire northwest corner of the empire would be the territory of Zhenshan Palace.

There is another important reason why Muchen wants to capture Anding County, and that is that the remaining 200,000 elite Qianlong Army guards the border fortress in Anding County. Anding County is a county in the Celestial Empire that borders the Tianqing Tribe.

County, the Hengduan Fortress used to resist the Tianqing tribe, is located on the edge of Anding County, and 200,000 elite Qianlong troops are stationed there.

The Palace Master of Everlasting Sorrow also grasped this point and said: "If the prince cooperates with us, then the 200,000 Hidden Dragon Army guarding the border fortress can also use this as a springboard to maintain contact with the prince. For the prince,

, but it took a lot of effort.”

Such conditions really attracted Muchen. As long as he cooperated with the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow, he could not only gain the support of the four cities in Anding County, but also maintain contact with the remaining 200,000 Hidden Dragon Army. As a result, Mu Chen

Chen Chen is still very willing to see it.

Even Xiao's mother and Qin Xue understand that cooperation between the two parties is the best choice. The Qianlong Army's combat power is what the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow lacks, and the information and territory of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow are also urgently needed by the Mu family.

Yes, cooperation between the two parties is definitely the most perfect combination.

Muchen glanced at Xiao's mother, who nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I, Zhenshan Palace, are willing to cooperate with the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow. From now on, both parties will be comrades-in-arms, sharing blessings and hardships! Palace Master, if you have any needs, you can also tell me."

What the Palace Master of Everlasting Sorrow was waiting for was Mu Chen's words, saying: "Okay! Since both parties are cooperating, they need to show their sincerity. Speaking of which, the Everlasting Sorrow Palace and the Murong family also have sworn enemies, and Zhenshan Palace

He is a thorn in the side of the Murong family. We have a common enemy and we will definitely be able to work together happily."

"I don't know what the palace master wants from me at Zhenshan Palace."

"Little Prince, as long as we cooperate, the Zhenshan Palace can freely send troops to the four cities of Anding County. I, the Palace of Everlasting Hatred, will never stop it. Moreover, the Little Prince can also use our intelligence network to establish his own intelligence system.

The Palace of Everlasting Sorrow can also help, and I only need the young prince to promise us three things."

"Palace Master, please speak." It is only reasonable and reasonable to have such a request.

"First, I hope that the Lord can teach us how to cultivate sweet potatoes and corn, these two spiritual foods, and provide us with 2,000 seedlings every month. At the same time, we can provide 10,000 kilograms of seedlings to the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow every year.

Spiritual fruit.”

Muchen did not hesitate and said: "No problem, I agree." If Muchen wanted to have as many sweet potatoes and corns as he wanted, he could have as many as he wanted. If he wasn't afraid of taking out too much at once, it would blow the mouths of the soldiers.

, Raised in his mouth, Muchen has long regarded sweet potatoes and corn as military rations. Even various spiritual fruits can be exchanged casually as long as the military value is sufficient. Not to mention ten thousand kilograms of spiritual fruits a year, even ten thousand kilograms of spiritual fruits a month.

Neither Guo nor Muchen need to consider anything.

Unexpectedly, Muchen agreed so simply. Could it be that the request he made could be easily fulfilled? The owner of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow has begun to regret it. Could it be that he asked for too little?

"…The second thing is that I heard that the young prince has newly established the Fengxiang Army, specifically recruiting female soldiers. In the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow, the majority of women are also recruited, so I would like to select some people regularly to join the Fengxiang Army for training. I hope

The young prince agrees."

The reason why the Qianlong Army has outstanding combat power is inseparable from the army's training method. Because the owner of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow hates men, most of the members of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow are women. If they can learn the skills of Qianlong Army,

The training method of the Dragon Army is very beneficial to the growth of the strength of the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow.

Muchen still did not hesitate and said: "No problem, I agree."

Unexpectedly, Muchen didn't hesitate. Aren't these all the secrets of the Qianlong Army? Why did Muchen agree without even thinking about it? Although it was strange, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, for the Palace of Everlasting Sorrow, this was a matter.

Good thing.

"One last thing, I hope that the young prince can marry my daughter, Shangguan Susu, as his royal concubine!"

Muchen still did not hesitate and said: "No! Come and see the guests off! Our cooperation is cancelled!"
Chapter completed!
