It was late at night, and Ye Zhao came back with a smell of alcohol. After returning to the room, he fell on the collapse and fell asleep.

Liu Wei supported her chin and groped with her bare hands to Ye Zhao's angular face, her eyes slightly resentful.

In the past two years, as Ye Zhao entered Guanzhong, his career began to flourish. His leisurely days in Shuzhong began to go away. Although this is a good thing for Ye Zhao, for women, they have to suffer the pain of often staying alone in empty rooms.

Sometimes, Liu Wei thought, if Ye Zhao had not entered Shu and the Han Dynasty had not declined, perhaps he and Ye Zhao were still living a happy life in Luoyang City now?

But this idea was just a thought. He knew that his husband was a person who did great things and could not be too nostalgic in this gentle land.

In fact, Liu Wei felt that she was already very happy. Ye Zhao was not very concerned about women. It has been almost twenty years since he first realized that he has been here, but the women around Ye Zhao have basically not changed. Xin'er accepted it before her. Later, Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang also had a emotional foundation with Ye Zhao.

As a princess, Liu Wei knew very well that with Ye Zhao's current status, it would not be an exaggeration to say four or forty women around her.

But Ye Zhao never mentioned this, let alone looking for a maid with a roommate. Although he had Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang one after another, his favor for him never changed.

The lively girl in the past is now over thirty years old. Her son Ye Zheng is thirteen years old after the New Year. After returning this time, Liu Wei found that Ye Zhao had become much more strict in training Ye Zheng. Not only did he have to learn various knowledge, but he also had to receive various training. After Ye Zhao said that after the New Year, Ye Zheng would be sent to the military camp and be trained as a young pawn.

This made Liu Wei feel very distressed. Other people's princess has been frugal since childhood. Why did her son go through so many trials at a young age?

However, although Ye Zhao loved her in every way, it was useless for anyone to say about the issue of her children's education.

During these days, every time Ye Zheng came back, he would have a few bruises on his body, which made Liu Wei feel extremely distressed, but he could do nothing. Not to mention Ye Zhao did not agree, even Ye Zheng, although he was exhausted by Ye Zhao's training every day, his energy became more and more energetic, and seemed to be a little happy.

Liu Wei was so angry that she ignored Ye Zhao, but now she looked at Ye Zhao's fatigue that was rarely seen in her sleep, and felt unbearable. Finally, she sighed, groped Ye Zhao's face, sighed quietly, got into the quilt, leaned against Ye Zhao's warm embrace, and gradually closed her eyes.

...

The next morning, Ye Zhao and Liu Wei were awakened by a scream.

"What happened?" Liu Wei looked outside the door with sleepy eyes.

Ye Zhao shook his head. He was rarely hungover and had a headache at this moment. After listening carefully, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head and said, "It's okay, Madam, continue to sleep, I'll go and see."

After saying that, he put on a piece of clothing and walked out.

In the courtyard of the Taiwei Mansion, Guo Jia was staring at Dian Wei with his eyes tightly. If his eyes could kill people, Dian Wei might have been cut into pieces at this moment. However, Dian Wei's face was tested. Guo Jia's murderous gaze was simply a pediatrician for him.

"You reckless man, return the things quickly!" Guo Jia said with red eyes and glaring at Dian Wei.

"It has been destroyed, the lord said that the Five Stones are forbidden objects and cannot be used without authorization." Dian Wei glared at his eyes.

Guo Jia frowned and was about to say something, but when he saw Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai coming together, he had to give up and bow to Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, this general..."

"I've heard it." Ye Zhao sighed. Why did the two military advisors he recruited had this problem? In the past, Ji Zhi was like this, and now Guo Jia was also a little trouble. He rubbed his temples and said, "Fengxiao, do you know that if you take this thing for a long time, can you live long?"

Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "My lord is such a bad word. You need to know that life is only tens of years, if..."

"If you can't do whatever you want, what's the point of living for a long time, right?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "This is exactly the same as Zhicai back then."

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly when he heard this. Ye Zhao forced him to quit his Five Stones back then. The pain during that period is still scary when he thinks about it.

The eyes of Guo Jia also became a little sympathetic.

"I really appreciate Fengxiao's mentality of playing in the world, but in life, happiness is not only achieved through such external objects. Believe me, after quitting it, you will become happier." Ye Zhao patted Guo Jia's shoulder and said earnestly: "Dian Wei stayed here to help you quit the Five Stones Powder. Zhicai was also Dian Wei who helped quit you before. He has experience. In addition, I will send five doctors with experience in this area to diagnose you every day."

Xi Zhicai also said, "Yes, Fengxiao, this is worse than a short pain than a long pain. Yesterday, when you were drunk, you had already asked a doctor to diagnose you. If you don't quit this thing, you may not be able to live for five years."

Guo Jia's lips twitched, and he suddenly wanted to repent. If he had not defected to Ye Zhao but Cao Cao, this would not have happened.

Five years? Is it fake?

"Dian Wei." Ye Zhao looked at Dian Wei.

"Here!" Dian Wei clasped his fists at Ye Zhao.

"When Fengxiao quit Wushi San, you can pretend that you have not heard anything you say, and prevent all the opportunities to approach Wushi San. Apart from that, there is no need to worry too much." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed and stood directly behind Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was a little confused. It seemed that Ye Zhao was going to be the real one, but...

Looking at Ye Zhao, "Lord, Jiachu has joined the lord's tent, but he has not made any contributions. Now it is the time to make contributions..."

"I'll let these five stones be used to work together for a long time in the future. It's possible for fifty years, so why bother to be anxious for a while?" Ye Zhao smiled and encouraged, "Don't worry, I'm with you!"

Guo Jia stared at Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai's back as he left, unable to speak for a while. It sounded like it was right, but... he felt uncomfortable in his chest. Every day, he would drink a meal of five stones and scatter. He hadn't eaten it yet. He felt like countless ants were crawling all over his body.

Looking at Dian Wei, Guo Jia suddenly showed a gentle smile: "General Dian, speaking of it, you and I will first meet each other, and we will work together to reminisce about the past in the future. We should get close to each other."

"When you are good, Dian can drink with you, but now, don't talk to me." Dian Wei took a step back and looked at Guo Jia vigilantly. When Xi Zhicai resigned to Wushi San, he also had this expression. He walked around Dian Wei several times, and was scolded by Ye Zhao a lot afterwards.

"Why do you have to do this?" Guo Jia was stunned. This guy didn't look like a brainy guy, so why was he so alert?

"When Mr. Xi quit the Five Stones, he had the same expression as you did, and then I was in trouble." Dian Wei looked at Guo Jia and said as if he was guarding against the wolf: "What do you mean by sir, just say it, but don't get close to me."

Guo Jia suddenly had an impulse now, and took the knife and tried to cut it off!

...

Ah snee~

Just as he was with Ye Zhao, Xi Zhicai, who was walking towards the main hall, sneezed fiercely.

"Are you infected with wind and cold?" Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai in confusion.

"It shouldn't be!" Xi Zhicai rubbed his nose and shook his head and said, "Although I think it's a bit inappropriate for the lord to manage the Western Regions, I think it's more than 6,000 miles from Zhangye to Dayuan. Even if the flying boats go to Guishan City, it will take half a month. Once a rebellion occurs, it will be difficult for our army to arrive in a short time. If we want to manage it, it will be a bit too long."

"Preserving the Western Regions is not a rule of the Western Regions. Of course, the necessary deterrence is needed. What I need is the resources of the Western Regions, iron ore, carbon ore, precious wood, jade, and glazed, not to mention that there are many gold ore and silver mines available. This Western Regions is also a treasure house. However, if we use troops to occupy it and mobilize many troops, our army has just now, but we don't want to be defeated in the Western Regions. At least it is not the time." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Does the lord mean doing business?" Xi Zhicai asked with a look of movement.

"The only way to know me." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled, "Yes, it was precisely because of the Shang Dynasty. The leverage car developed by the Shengong Camp is very useful. Although this car may not be useful for fighting, it should not be difficult to use it to do business and speed up the speed of consignment of goods. In addition, Huaxiong showed his power, we can establish long-term cooperation with the countries in the Western Regions to purchase their minerals with food, grass, porcelain, and silk, so that their people can work hard. Over time, although the Western Regions will be rich, their potential will be reduced. We can also allow merchants to attract some Western Regions population to my Chinese language."

Now Ye Zhao wants to develop, population is a very important one. The Central Plains has now become stable. It is almost impossible to absorb the population as the Guanzhong population was originally taken, so Ye Zhao can only focus on the surrounding foreign countries.

Ye Zhao supported the great fusion of the nation, but it was by no means a fusion made by the blood and tears of the Han people like the Five Barbarians invading China. What he wanted was to make the Han Dynasty form a centripetal suction and continuously absorb the population and talents of the Western Regions.

"And I have studied Western Region culture. Although it is messy, it is quite unique. I am wondering whether it can incorporate its civilization into my Han culture." Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "Only by embracing all rivers, only by being boundless and shoreless. Although my Han culture is brilliant, we cannot ignore the culture of other countries. If we have the opportunity and in our lifetime, I would like to see the cultures of the Kushan Kingdom, the Great Qin Kingdom, and the Sabre Kingdom farther away."

Kushan, Qin, and Anxi are great powers that can be compared with the Han Dynasty. There were records when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions. In terms of land area, some were larger than the Han Dynasty. Even if Ye Zhao was limited to transportation, it would be difficult to expand his territory there during his lifetime. However, it is okay to attract more culture to the Han Dynasty to integrate into the Han Dynasty.

"The lord is far-reaching, but the minister is not enough."

"I won't say these words, plan carefully, and start all-round trade with countries in the Western Regions in the next few years."
