"dad."
Hearing this, Xia Mo shouted worriedly.
"Silly girl, what are you worried about? Can I eat your man? Get out of here quickly." Xia Guohua glared at Xia Mo.
"Oh." Xia Mo muttered, then pulled Tang Qi out of the study.
"Dad, Uncle Tang, just tell me what you need."
After Tang Qi and the other two left, Lu Ping stood up and said respectfully.
"Sit down. Don't be nervous. I'm not keeping you here to accuse you. I just want to tell you something else."
Xia Guohua waved his hand and motioned Lu Ping to sit down.
"Dad, please speak."
Lu Ping sat down as he was told, and then spoke.
"It's still about the Demon Cave. Your second uncle should have told you about it, but he left early because of something, so I have to do it for you."
"Firstly, based on the current development situation, the Academy of Sciences has determined that the arrival of the Demon Cave will be advanced by about half a year."
"Secondly, once the creatures from the Demon Cave descend, they will be unstoppable, and we will be completely unable to resist them with our current capabilities."
"In response to this situation, the higher-ups have decided to abandon the southern provinces in order to ensure the safety of the north and the imperial capital."
"And our East China Sea is right at the junction of the north and the south. The specific situation has not yet been determined, but in any case, the East China Sea will definitely bear the brunt of the impact."
"Third, the date for the last group to enter the battlefield of all nations will also be brought forward. The specific time is three months from now. After that, the higher-ups will officially inform the entire nation about the Demon Cave, and at the same time, full military control will be implemented throughout the country."
"Fourth, it's about the appearance of military commanders on the battlefields of all nations. Do you know why ** asked you for the county city? It's because the county city is equivalent to a title. The number of military commanders appearing in the world will increase accordingly if the lord possesses the county city."
After hearing what Xia Guohua said, Lu Ping was shocked.
Lu Ping never expected that the appearance of a military general would be linked to his title.
"Dad, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will do my best."
"But I don't understand. Since you knew that the county city involved the title, why didn't you say it earlier? I am fully capable of conquering more county cities?" Lu Ping asked puzzledly.
"Well, to be honest, the Academy of Sciences only just learned about this matter," Tang Haoran explained.
"It doesn't matter even if I just found out. I can continue to stay on the third floor and capture more county towns or even state capitals. Why are you urging me to enter the fourth floor?" Lu Ping said again.
"Because the fourth floor not only has more state capitals, but also four capitals and one imperial city. This is your goal." Tang Haoran said in a deep voice.
"Four capitals and one imperial city? Isn't four floors a capital?"
Hearing this, Lu Ping was shocked.
"It was indeed like this before, but it has increased now. Do you understand?" Xia Guohua said.
"Okay, I understand. I know what to do." Lu Ping said suddenly realizing.
"Well, it's good that you know. Your goal is to capture the capital or even the imperial city."
"Also, remember, next time the military takes action, don't just pay. Remember to bargain."
"You don't need anything else, but you must have special weapons, ammunition and clones, and the more the better," Xia Guohua instructed.
"Dad, but will Chief Chen have any objections to this?"
"Don't worry about him. He won't put any obstacles in your way. Otherwise, do you think he would give you a kilogram of Minglong people? Do you think clones are cabbages?"
"Oh, I understand." Lu Ping nodded.
"I'm glad you understand. There are two more things."
"First, you must get married to Tang Qi as soon as possible. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to have a proper wedding. We will decide the specific date, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Secondly, after entering the fourth level, you must capture as many county and state cities as possible. You can exchange these extra county and state cities for more resources from the military. This will be of great benefit to future defenses against the creatures in the Demon Cave, and it also concerns your life and property."
"In addition, if possible, your uncle Tang and I also need a few county towns and state capitals. Of course, we won't take them from you for free. You just need to sell them to us first." Xia Guohua added.
"Dad, Uncle Tang, I understand."
"But stop joking about selling the state capital to dad and Uncle Tang. You are all my relatives, how is this possible?" Lu Ping said with a smile.
Lu Ping was not surprised at all that the Xia and Tang families needed the county city. It was inevitable that big families wanted to protect themselves.
"Well, that's good. It's enough that you have this filial piety."
"However, let's talk about this later."
Hearing Lu Ping say this, Xia Guohua and Tang Haoran both nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed things further and then left the study.
When the three of them came out, Tang Qi and Xia Mo were sitting on the sofa waiting, and Tang Qi was still wiping her tears.
Seeing the three people coming out, the two of them quickly stood up, and Tang Qi also hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"Hey, kid, you're just like your mother. You're so stubborn."
Looking at Tang Qi's tearful face, Tang Haoran shook his head helplessly.
"Lu Ping, I'm leaving Xiao Qi in your hands. If you dare treat her badly, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
After taking a deep look at Tang Qi, Tang Haoran warned Lu Ping in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, Uncle Tang, it won't happen."
Lu Ping quickly agreed.
Seeing this, Tang Haoran felt relieved and left with Xia Guohua.
"dad......."
After seeing Tang Haoran off, Xia Guohua turned around and came back. Xia Mo cautiously came to Xia Guohua's side. Lu Ping also stood obediently beside him, waiting for Xia Guohua's reprimand.
It would be a lie for them to say they didn't feel guilty about what happened on their wedding day.
"Well, you are all adults, so just make your own decisions. I just hope you can treat my daughter well."
"After all, you are my only daughter, and I don't want her to suffer any injustice."
After looking at Lu Ping deeply, Xia Guohua said earnestly.
"I understand, thank you, Dad." Lu Ping said sincerely.
"Okay, you've been busy all day, go back and rest."
After saying this, Xia Guohua turned and left.
Seeing that they had escaped danger, Lu Ping and Xia Mo looked at each other with joy on their faces.
"Let's go home." Lu Ping said, holding Xia Mo and Tang Qi's hands.
After returning home, Lu Ping first stayed with Tang Qi for a while to calm her down, and then returned to Xia Mo's room.
Today is the wedding day, so of course the evening belongs to Xia Mo.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Lu Ping and the other man got up in a hurry.
When I went downstairs, Tang Qi was already there.
The three of them had already discussed it last night and decided to return to the battlefield of various nations together today.
The early arrival of the demon cave and various other changes made Lu Ping feel a sense of urgency.
Time is running out and Lu Ping must seize the time.
