At this time, in the Lizhou Palace.
In the huge outer hall of Shaohua Palace, Ji Xingzhi sat upright on a large gilded chair, his fists clenched tightly, his face serious, his lower lip turned white from biting his white teeth, and his small body was still trembling slightly.
The eunuch stood beside Ji Xingzhi, looking at her with his eyes and nose, acting like a humble and obedient eunuch.
Opposite Ji Xingzhi, there stood a man and a woman, one big and one small, who looked like father and daughter.
The man was wearing a black and gold brocade robe, his hair was braided and tied up high, he had a full forehead, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a straight nose, light lips, and clear facial contours, as if it were a work of nature, very three-dimensional.
He was dressed in a black and gold brocade robe that exuded majesty. His waist was tied with a twisted rope and a gold plate hung on his side with the word "Luo" printed on it.
The girl, however, was wearing a pure white dress and a fluffy scarf. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, shaped like a gold ingot, with only a delicate white jade hairpin tucked into her hair. Her face was fair and clean, with chubby cheeks, and her eyes were as bright as obsidian. There was a hint of pink on her face, making her look particularly adorable.
Ji Xingzhi pretended to be nervous and frightened, but his mind was already full of thoughts.
Lizhou is located in the center of the Dixi Continent, bordering Yuzhou to the east, Huazhou to the south, Shuizhou to the west, and Xuezhou to the north.
Lizhou and Xuezhou have been friendly for generations, and the emperors of Xuezhou have always advocated peace. Therefore, Lizhou did not send special personnel to guard Wuyang, which is considered to be the border with Xuezhou, but only stationed troops in Linyi to be on the safe side.
Similarly, there is no one guarding Canglan, the border between Xuezhou and Lizhou. It is just ordinary people. This is the trust between Lizhou and Xuezhou in each other, and this practice has been around for a long time.
Huazhou is also a country that has always advocated peace. On the border between Lizhou and Huazhou, the people of Li and Hua are free to come and go without any restrictions.
Yuzhou's attitude is unclear. Whenever there are conflicts with other countries in the Dixi Continent, Yuzhou often stands by and watches, like a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole is behind it. But sometimes it will lend a helping hand. The thoughts of this generation of Yuzhou emperors are difficult to understand.
Back then, my treacherous father rebelled... no, he rebelled against Emperor Xiao, which caused chaos in the imperial capital of Lizhou. The country had no time to take care of the border. The Yuzhou Kingdom took advantage of the situation and attacked Lizhou. It was the general An Shinan who was stationed in the eastern part of Lizhou and his daughter An Huaxin, who was only in her teens at the time, who suppressed and repelled them, thus saving the eastern border of Lizhou.
Later, the old man took the throne and made General An the King of Zhenyuan and An Huaxin the general.
Let’s talk about the west.
To the west is Shuizhou, which has abundant water resources. A normal rain could bring disaster to Shuizhou, so Shuizhou has coveted the land of Lizhou for a long time. Many years ago, they were severely damaged by the emperor's uncle's trick of "diverting water from the east to the west", but their ambition remained. They took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack on Lizhou. It was Huazhou that stepped forward to help Lizhou solve its urgent problem.
Shuizhou and Huazhou have been at war for many years, so Huazhou would naturally not allow Shuizhou to attack Lizhou as it wished.
Huazhou and Shuizhou have been at war for many years, often harming the innocent southwestern part of Lizhou. The leader guarding the southwestern part of Lizhou is King Luo Lingluo, who was exiled to the southwest. Thanks to King Luo, the southwestern part of Lizhou is no longer harmed by the war between Shuizhou and Huazhou.
Prince Luo Ling of Luo is extremely prestigious in the southwest, as if he has established himself as the king of the southwest. Therefore, for Ji Xingzhi, the southwest and Prince Luo are dangerous, and the imperial capital is also dangerous to Prince Luo Ling of Luo.
