Until Jiang Xiyue left, Su Muchi still looked at the token in her hand and couldn't believe it.
In the past, he had worked hard to obtain the Su family's property, but today, a wealth that was even greater than that of the Su family was easily in his hands.
While Su Muchi was stunned, she vaguely heard Jiang Xiyue muttering in a low voice: Baiweiju, Jinxiufang, Longfengyuan... If my son had more wives, I'm afraid these houses wouldn't be enough.
At this moment, Su Muchi's heart trembled even more when she thought about it.
What nonsense is this?
Baiweiju, Jinxiufang...are these all the properties of the Yu family?
Rich as a country!
Four big characters suddenly appeared in Su Muchi's mind.
...
When Hu Roar's troops approached the Canglan River, the people of Cangzhou had already begun to flee. Even these people did not believe that Xiang Ji really went to protect Kyoto.
Almost only the Cangzhou Army and the old, weak, women and children were left in the counties and counties near the Canglan River.
The war came as expected.
Under the banner of protecting Kyoto, Xiang Ji committed rebellion.
Everyone knows it, but no one cares.
More than ten years ago, when Xiang Ji was stationed in Nanzhou, there were rumors of Xiang Ji's rebellion in the DPRK.
At that time, Xiao Yuande had no intention and was even less able to deal with Xiang Ji.
It was not until he secured the throne that he discovered that Xiang Ji had already dominated Nanzhou Prefecture, leaving him unable to restrain himself.
Today's rebellion is predictable.
The first battle lasted for one day, but the Tiger Roar Army did not exert all its strength, it was just a trial battle.
Both sides suffered losses, but the Cangzhou Army still suffered a lot.
Countless corpses were lying on both sides of the river bank, and the rough waves on the river swallowed up countless blood.
Flags are flying and war drums are beating.
Night is not the time to fall asleep. The armies of both sides are in full array, and firelight flickers on the wide river from time to time, to prevent the enemy from crossing the river at night.
In the Cangzhou Army camp, Fang Nanhu and the Cangzhou generals looked at the military formation sand table in front of them.
Today's battle was barely a draw, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The fear of Xiang Ji and Hu Xiaojun has also reduced a bit.
Li Qingru sat aside, drinking tea calmly. She didn't dare to let down her guard.
"Everyone, tomorrow morning, Xiang Ji will definitely launch a general offensive to seize Cangzhou with a sweeping force."
Everyone was shocked. They felt that judging from today's battle situation, the battle on the Canglan River could last for a long time.
Fang Nanhu asked aloud: "Master Li, how can you see this?"
Li Qingru said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Xiang Ji is planning to rebel, and several states in the north are areas that need to be attacked. In addition to Cangzhou, there are still more than ten battles. One big effort, then another, and three are exhausted!"
"Tomorrow, one drum will defeat Cangzhou, strengthen the army's power, and build momentum. In the next ten or so battles, only one drum will be needed."
Fang Nanhu nodded, and his brows that had just loosened wrinkled again.
General Cangzhou asked hurriedly: "Does Master Li have any good ideas?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Qingru.
Li Qingru put down the teacup and looked at the dark cloud-covered night sky outside the tent. "Of course there is. Please be prepared, prepare arrows and prepare fire oil."
Everyone was confused and looked at Fang Nanhu.
Fang Nanhu waved his hand and said, "Do as Master Li said."
Li Qingru said nothing and walked out of the tent.
Fang Nanhu chased after him and said, "Master Li, I still don't understand. Please clarify my confusion, Master Li."
Li Qingru handed the prepared note to Fang Nanhu and said, "Please read it again after two hours, I'm afraid there are ears through the wall."
Fang Nanhu's eyes trembled, thinking of the Cangzhou generals, and solemnly said: "Understood!"
Li Qingru continued: "Whether it is tomorrow or in the future, Xiang Ji will go straight to Kyoto at all costs and seek to usurp the throne. The Marquis does not have to fight Xiang Ji head-on and hold off the Tiger Roaring Army. Sooner or later, he can win this war."
Fang Nanhu still didn't understand. "Master Li, Nanzhou is rich, and Xiang Ji has enriched his own pockets a lot over the years. Even if we continue to delay, the Tiger Roaring Army will not be defeated."
Li Qingru looked deeply at the other side of the Canglan River and said, "The Tiger Roar Army will not be defeated, but Xiang Ji does not have much time left."
Under Fang Nanhu's extremely confused eyes, Li Qingru left the military camp.
After a while, General Cangzhou asked: "Master Marquis, this Master Li is so mysterious, can he be trusted?"
Fang Nanhu put away the note in his hand and said, "If it's unreliable, why did Your Majesty ask her to come to Cangzhou?"
"Be prepared and don't worry about anything you shouldn't!"
...
After leaving Cangnan Town, Yu Zhi returned to Cangzhou Mansion.
On the way, Yu Zhi met Fang Tao.
Fang Tao told Yu Zhi about his departure from Nanzhou, and at the same time Fang Nanhu also asked Fang Nanhu to return to Kyoto.
But Fang Tao did not leave, but stayed alone in Cangzhou City.
Today's Cangzhou City is much more depressed than in the past.
Business in inns, gambling houses, and brothels has become somewhat deserted.
Fang Tao sighed. Like everyone else, he knew Xiang Ji's reputation and did not believe that the Cangzhou army could stop the Huxiao army.
"Boss, if I go back to Kyoto alone and leave my father here, what if my father does something wrong... How will I explain to my mother!"
Fang Tao refused to leave because he was worried about Fang Nanhu.
Yu Zhi couldn't help but look at Fang Tao with admiration and said, "You did not waste Tong'er's teachings to you. After reading some books, you will know that you care about your parents. It is much better than the past dandy debauchery."
Fang Tao touched his face in embarrassment and suddenly said to Yu Zhi: "Boss, please teach me how to practice swordsmanship. From now on, I can also protect my father!"
Yu Zhi shook his head and said: "My sword is not suitable for you. And it is too late to learn now."
Fang Tao lowered his head, his expression even more sad. Now he doesn't know what to do. In the past, I was used to being a dandy, and I had no merit in my studies and cultivation.
"If you are worried about Marquis Zhenyuan, you can join the army. At least you will be closer to your father instead of worrying here all day." Yu Zhi said.
Fang Tao clapped his hands, his eyes brightened, and said, "What a great idea. With my skills, I can't be a general, so being a soldier is not enough."
Yu Zhi looked at Fang Tao now. Is this still the playboy who teased Li Wantong in Wenwen Academy?
"Boss, I'm going to join the army right away."
"Go!"
Looking at Fang Tao's leaving figure, Yu Zhi thought, and a golden light fell on Fang Tao's head.
Immediately, Yu Zhi came to the small courtyard where Su Muchi lived.
The little black cat taking a nap on the roof felt someone approaching. When he found out it was Yu Zhi, he meowed and then closed his eyes again.
It was late at night and Tuantuan was already fast asleep.
Su Muchi held the token and still thought about what happened during the day.
Seeing Yu Zhi come back, Su Muchi told him what happened during the day.
A complicated look flashed in Yu Zhi's eyes, and then he said calmly: "Since she gave it to you, keep it well. Don't worry about anything."
Su Muchi said happily: "Then I will accept it."
"I have never noticed in the past that Madam, you are still a little money-crazy." Yu Zhi teased.
Su Muchi said: "Of course I don't like the money. But today, my mother-in-law came to see me and handed me the token of Fendiexuan. This means she recognized me as my daughter-in-law. Tell me, can I be unhappy? ?”
Su Muchi is like a little girl who got her favorite toy.
It's just that this "toy" is approved by Jiang Xiyue.
That's all.
Yu Zhi hugged Su Muchi gently and said, "It's my fault. After all, I have wronged you."
Su Muchi patted Yu Zhi's back and wrapped her hands around Yu Zhi's waist.
"I don't feel wronged. My husband doesn't dislike me for being a married woman. I am very happy."
"I have never thought about my status. My husband recognized my status in front of the people of Suzhou City. My mother-in-law also accepted me. This is a blessing I have cultivated over several lifetimes."
Yu Zhi felt the tenderness of the woman in his arms.
Mu Ci was just happy about this status.
"Mrs. Yu." Yu Zhi called affectionately.
Su Muchi trembled, hugged Yu Zhi tightly, and responded in a low voice.
"From now on, Mrs. Yu must be generous. There is no need to hide anything." Yu Zhi said.
Su Muchi nodded, with affection in her eyes, and said, "My mother-in-law also told me one more thing."
"What's the matter?" Yu Zhi asked.
Su Muchi stood on tiptoes and whispered four words in Yu Zhi's ear - Yanmian's heir.
Goblin!
A fire lit up in Yu Zhi's belly.
"Mrs. Yu, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
"Be gentle, don't wake Tuantuan."
"Later, Madam, please be gentler."
"Hate..."
...
Two hours.
Fang Nanhu had never felt that two hours passed so slowly.
He was holding the note in his hand and wanted to open it so that he could have some idea.
But when he thought of Li Qingru's words, Fang Nanhu resisted the impulse again and looked into the depths of the night, just waiting for two hours to pass.
At this moment, in the distant Kyoto, Xiao Yuande was wearing a dragon robe and entering the ancestral hall alone.
On top of the great Chu emperors of the past dynasties, clouds and records are laid out in front of them, like misty scrolls.
There are many secrets hidden in this cloud chronicle that records the past thousands of years.
At this moment, the clouds are changing, and scenes of ancient scenes appear.
It was an old man with a stooped body and strange horns on his head. He was obviously not a human race. Trapped in the pit beneath his feet are countless terrified humans.
An object wrapped in black mist was thrown into the crowd.
Wails and screams instantly broke out in the crowd.
The skin of those humans began to fester and their bones began to mutate.
Black spikes sprouted from his arms and forehead, and his skin turned into pitch-black scales, transforming into monsters.
After a cup of tea, a dozen grotesque humanoid monsters emerged from the countless human races.
Those red eyes lost their senses.
The transformation of human race into night ghosts has been recorded thousands of years ago.
Two words appear next to these monsters - Hades.
The product of the union of humans and night ghosts - Mingshi.
Xiao Yuande looked at the ancient picture that emerged and made a difficult decision in his heart.
"This way is feasible, but the price is too high." A mysterious shadow appeared on the spiritual throne. "If you use this method, not even one in ten of the human race will survive."
Xiao Yuande looked up at the phantom and said in a deep voice: "This is not the same as a thousand years ago, when there were dozens of strong masters without the ancestors. The human race cultivators are far less prosperous than they were thousands of years ago. The decline of the human race is a fact."
"Xiang Ji conspired to rebel, and the night ghosts were secretly waiting for the opportunity. This method is extremely costly, but it is also the only solution."
"As long as Da Chu is still there, there will always be hope."
