The north wind whistles, the snow and ice.

In Su Li's hut, Chen Shou shrank in the bedding, and it was still a little cold.

Seeing him afraid of the cold, Su Li hugged him tightly and almost covered himself on Chen Shou, "Master, this room is cold. Next time I will serve me, I will send someone to send me a message, and I will go to the water pavilion to serve me."

Chen Shou twisted the beautiful woman and said, "From tonight, you will move to the Shuixi Pavilion. Tao'er and Liu'er are illiterate. You and Xue Shao help me organize some documents and other things, and you can write for me if you have any questions."

Su Li nodded, and the master finally trusted himself. Su Li felt a little moved.

She was a person who once helped the White Lotus Sect assassination, but she didn't expect that she would have a good destination, which was better than the result she had imagined.

She was still a little reluctant to leave her. Although this hut was not as comfortable as a water pavilion in winter, it was her own small home.

This simple yard and two cottages were the only place where she felt safe in her life.

She was very familiar with every corner of the yard. Chen Shou seemed to be able to understand her thoughts. He pinched her chin and smiled and said, "This yard is still yours. You can get a lock. You can come back if you have nothing to do, and you can put things here."

Su Li suddenly felt like the softest part in her heart, and was hit by Chen Shou. Her eyes were red and she nodded.

Her courtyard was a little cold, especially when she was so confused that she was sweating again. Chen Shou patted her cheek and said, "Should I get dressed, I'll move later. I'll find a few maids to help you."

Su Li hurriedly crawled out of the quilt, wrapped herself in underwear, tied it with red silk around her waist, and served Chen Shou to put on her clothes.

"You don't have to bother with someone. The one who lives in the next hut is the little girls who are playing opera bought in our mansion. I just need to ask them to help move it."

Chen Shou glared at his eyes and said to himself, "This house is separated by a wall, and it's been quite a bit of noise just now, so don't teach the children badly."

He nodded and pushed the door out. He felt relieved when he saw that the door of the cottage next door was closed tightly and there was no movement.

I walked to Li Lingyue's room, opened the curtain and went in, which was much warmer.

Li Lingyue sat at the head of the bed, not knowing what to gesture, Zhihua came in to get water and washed her with a smile.

Li Lingyue didn't move and said with a smile: "This is learned from Sister Su. It is said that it is the soft skills of Tianzhu. People in the Southern Tang Dynasty are learning it."

Chen Shou nodded in his heart, wondering where the third brothers have reached now, and whether there are still thousands of tribes in South Asia.

The Tang Dynasty's trade route is so developed that it must have been in contact with mainland India long ago. No wonder they were so rich and had no idea how much money they had flowed from all over the world into the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The wealth gathered by half of the country is probably more than that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"Why are you willing to go downstairs early this morning? Is there nothing big in the court?" Li Lingyue asked with his hands folded and raised his hands high, looking slender like a willow and his chest like a mountain.

Chen Shou laughed and said, "It is precisely because there is something wrong in the court that I have to come down earlier, and the number of times I go up in the future will be reduced. I have to stay with you more."

"You can lie." Li Lingyue clearly disbelief.

Chen Shou explained: "The court is worried about my lack of a son, and you know that they are always worried about not having a son. So I am going to want to have a son with you these days."

Li Lingyue blushed and said embarrassedly: "Their stomach has not been moving. Last time, he asked Hong'er's brother to take his pulse, and he said there was no problem."

"Don't worry, let's try a few more times, there will always be one."

When Chen Shou was crazily making children at home, Li Xin had already arrived in Hejian Mansion.

He immediately counted the troops, camps and city defenses, and everything went in an orderly manner. With the experience of Yingzhou Prefecture, he and his subordinates were more comfortable doing these things.

No matter what the purpose was, Chen Shou transferred himself to Hejian for the sake of Daqi's good.

What Li Xin feared most now is that wars broke out completely and the princes from all sides fought in a melee, and the prestige of the Great Qi would no longer exist, and this dynasty would inevitably not be able to revive.

The one who is most likely to ignite all this is the soldiers and horses in Liaodong. Everyone knows that Liaodong is strong and brave and good at fighting.

Hejian Mansion is like a barrier, stuck between Youyan and the Central Plains.

Although there is no danger here to defend and the horse is flat, Li Xin is still sure that the princes in the north cannot overcome this level.

Li Xin himself has excellent command and is good at seizing opportunities in desperate situations, which can kill him. Until now, his record in the difficult battlefield in Xiliang is not very well known, but in fact it is a fierce battle.

As for the ruthlessness of the Hedong bandits later, the tenacity of retreating to Mongolia to defend Datong and the ruthlessness of attacking the desert in the north and staining the grassland with blood, although it was his feat that was famous all over the world.

But Li Xin himself knew that these things were not difficult, and the real difficulty was when he was in Xiliang, without the support of the imperial court, and forcibly fighting with the Hu Hu in the northwest.

Now the court has all the food and supplies, and even has extremely valuable first aid kits. I don’t know how many of the lives of their subordinates have been saved.

Many times, in a battle, the most people died were not fighting on the battlefield, but infection or blood loss after injury, resulting in the loss of soldiers.

Only experts like Li Xin understand the role of Chen Shou's reforms on the army best.

Therefore, what he had always been very afraid of was not the famous Liaodong soldiers, nor the Mongolian soldiers sweeping across the desert, but the 200,000 troops under Chen Shou.

First aid kit, Qianli mirror, signal flare...everything surprises Li Xin.

But Chen Shou was so aware of his character that this person could not use all his things selflessly.

God knows what trump card he has...

What's even more terrifying is that Chen Shou's army is constantly increasing, and the people pouring in from all over the country provided him with a steady stream of troops.

Li Xin privately planned that the court could not afford so many people, not to mention that the construction of various water conservancy, fortifications, roads and bridges under Chen Shou's rule has never stopped.

The salaries of officials were not lowered, and the military's salary increased exponentially. All this shows that Chen Shou had a channel, a channel he didn't know was providing him with money and food.

A young general came in and saw the major general frowning. He didn't know what he was thinking. He was about to withdraw, but Li Xin said, "What's the matter?"

"Major General, there are a team of troops from Liaodong who want to pass the checkpoint and say he is going to Bianliang to meet His Majesty."

Li Xin suddenly became interested and asked, "Are they talking about going to meet His Majesty? Or are they going to meet Chen Shou?"

"The person who came here only said that he was seeing His Majesty."
