Zhao Xin originally planned to let Li Cunxiao go to the army, but now he has to put it aside for the time being.

It was impossible for Qiao Sanniang to stay in the palace, but she was also worried about leaving a woman alone without anyone to protect her.

Although there are Wan Chao and others.

But Wan Chao is not a product of the system after all, and his loyalty cannot be guaranteed to be 100%. Other things are fine, but the matter of Sanniang can be leaked for the time being.

Alas, I still feel too weak.

Unfortunately, the reward given by the system just now did not win a master.

But then again, if we draw a master, there will be no Sanniang.

It's true that there's no way to have the best of both worlds. There's no shortage of experts, but there's a shortage of three ladies. Hmm, that doesn't make sense...

However, it would be great if I could find a way to reverse the situation and grab some luck.

Just as I was thinking about it, the system's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

[Reminder: The host has been traveling for two months, and the novice protection period has ended. The system will trigger an upgrade task soon. After completion, the system will be upgraded.]

[Tip: After the upgrade, the system will open up the task board and penalty mechanism, please keep an eye on it.]

[Tip: The protection period upgrade task has been triggered, please check it in time. ]

Hearing this series of voices, Zhao Xin was stunned.

"What's going on? What the hell is a protection period? There's also a penalty mechanism. Are they going to start screwing me over?"

However, there was a faint sense of anticipation in my heart.

As for missions, everyone who has played the game knows that missions are a double-edged sword. If you can't complete them, you might get stuck...

Even if it passes, it can still accelerate growth.

"I just don't know what the upgrade mission is. It's a novice mission during the protection period, equivalent to a teaching level assessment. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Thinking of this, he felt a little itchy in his heart. He immediately coughed lightly and said to Qiao Sanniang, "Sanniang, I will leave my wealth and property to you. I hope you can create a new glory in this world that surpasses the ancient and the modern, and let your legend be recorded in the history of this world!"

Although Qiao Sanniang had expected Zhao Xin to let her manage the goods, she did not expect Zhao Xin to actually give all his inventory items to her.

I couldn't help but feel touched.

As a businessman and a businesswoman, no one knows better than her how rare this trust is.

However, she was not one to indulge in falsehood. Even though she was deeply moved, she simply bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do not despise my humble status and condescend to guide me and trust me. I will certainly go through fire and water to live up to your Majesty's sincere trust today."

The others were moved by her and bowed in greeting.

…

Just as Zhao Xin and others were discussing how to overthrow the Cui family in this side hall.

Little did he know that the sharp words he had said in the Qinzheng Hall had quickly spread throughout the entire officialdom of the Qin capital as the ministers present walked out of the Forbidden City.

At the same time, it also caused a wave of not-so-small turmoil in the officialdom of the Qin capital.

Before this, everyone knew that there was a conflict between the emperor and the Cui family, especially Prime Minister Cui Cen.

But because there was no falling out, everyone pretended not to see it.

But this time, everyone felt that the boil was about to be unable to be covered up.

"It seems that the emperor is really going to make trouble this time."

"I think it will be within half a year at the latest. It all depends on whether the Prime Minister can quell the rebellious royal family king in time this time. If he can do so quickly, everything will be fine. If not... humph!"

"The Emperor is in trouble, and the Cui family is extremely powerful. What can the Emperor rely on?"

"The Emperor doesn't really believe that those seven rebellious kings are trying to purge the court and support the Qin Dynasty, does he?"

"Supporting the Great Qin is certain, but which Great Qin to support is hard to say."

"Do you think the emperor is..."

Someone quietly walked towards the front of the procession, where Nan Cang and Cui Cen, who had left their sedan chairs and horses unused and were walking instead of riding, pursed their lips slightly and said meaningfully, "Didn't they say before that the Nan family was going to marry into the emperor?"

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Nan Cang and the people of the Nan family, either openly or secretly.

However, someone shook their head slightly and said, "It is said that the young lady of the Nan family does not seem to be happy..."

"I'm not happy about it. It's my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words..."

"Haha, if this kind of words were used on other young ladies, it would be correct, but if it were used on the young lady of the Nan family, then..."

Everyone suddenly stopped talking.

Because if you speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear.

Not far ahead, I saw a fiery red horse standing in the middle of the road like a man blocking the pass. On the horse sat a girl who was also wearing fiery red armor, holding a bright silver spear in her hand.

The tip of the gun tapped the ground lightly from time to time, splashing sparks from time to time.

Even in the darkness of the night, this man and his horse were like a burning flame, full of danger and heat.

When everyone saw this man and horse, they stopped talking involuntarily, as if they were actually a little afraid of the girl on the horse.

At the same time, Nan Cang, who was walking side by side with Cui Cen, saw the girl and pinched his forehead with a headache. Then he bowed slightly to Cui Cen and said, "Prime Minister Cui, as the Grand Marshal of the Great Qin, I, Nan Cang, have no choice but to take responsibility for the fight against the rebellion.

Everything remains as we said before. As long as the food and money arrive, and you agree to my previous conditions, I will order you out of the capital immediately."

Cui Cen also saw the girl on horseback, and a smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, General. If it were for my own sake, I would never delay your food and wages when we are facing such a powerful enemy."

Nan Cang laughed when he heard this, but he did not doubt what he said. Without saying much, he jumped on his horse and rode towards the girl.

Behind him, the people from the Nan family also rode their horses to catch up.

Cui Cen stood there and suddenly called out, "Brother Nan, the road ahead is dark and full of bumps and chasms. Brother Nan, please don't go too fast."

The Nancang people who were already riding their horses near the young lady laughed heartily on their horses. "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Cui. Although I am old, I can still lift a gun. What obstacles can't be cleared away by a single shot?"

But the Prime Minister should be careful and not get tripped up by any obstacles!"

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Cui Cen.

Instead, the girl glanced at Cui Cen and lightly raised the bright silver spear in her hand.

Then he asked Nan Cang, "Grandpa, you and Old Man Cui don't get along, so why are you hanging out with him?"

Nan Cang glared at her angrily when he heard this, and scolded her in a low voice: "What old man Cui, you have no respect for your elders."

Then he glared at her and said, "At this time of night, you, a girl, are standing in the middle of the road with your horse and gun drawn. Are you trying to be a female bandit?"

The girl giggled when she heard this, "I heard that someone was rebelling, and I thought you were going to go to war today. When I asked, I found out that it was the little emperor who summoned you.

By the way, why did the young emperor summon you? Did he say he was going to war?"

Nan Cang saw her eyes light up when she mentioned going to the battlefield, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. He glanced at her sideways, said nothing, and shouted directly: "Go back home!"
