Yan'er's face turned red after being spoken to, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Chen Shuyi kindly pulled the girl Yan'er to sit next to her and started chatting with her.

The four of them chatted here for a long time before Wu Yazi and his wife were ready to leave.

Wang Qizhi took Yan'er to see them off. After they were sent outside, Wu Yazi said, "You two don't need to see them off."

Chen Shuyi held Yan'er's hand and said, "You two will live a good life. I hope we can see your child next time we come here."

Yan'er nodded shyly.

After the two parties separated, Wu Yazi and Chen Shuyi got into a carriage. They both sat in the front of the carriage, with the former responsible for driving.

The carriage didn't move very fast, almost as fast as people trotting, so they could slowly enjoy the scenery on the road.

Chen Shuyi said: "I don't know when this war will start."

Wu Yazi held the reins in his hand and said: "Hurry up, he is a restless master if you abandon him. Now that the strength of Southern Xinjiang is at its peak, this boy is just taking advantage of this momentum to regain the Great Yuan Mountains in one fell swoop."

Chen Shuyi sighed softly, with a look of distress on her face, "This child who was abandoned is also pitiful. His mother died when he was a child. He grew up in captivity and lived a life of starvation. His father committed suicide some time ago. Death, I wonder how this child survived all these years?"

Wu Yazi looked forward and thought for a long time before replying: "As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. It is true that abandonment can cultivate a tough mind. If you take responsibility, you will not achieve today's achievements."

Chen Shuyi nodded and said, "I wonder who will win in this battle?"

Wu Yazi blurted out the answer without thinking, "Southern Xinjiang will win."

Chen Shuyi asked curiously: "Why?"

"First, Zhu Yunduan is dead. Wang Xuan now has no reliable military advisor to advise, but Wang Qizhi has a genius like Pang Tong on his side."

"Secondly, doesn't Wang Xuan claim to be loyal to the Dayuan Dynasty? He is a direct descendant of the royal family. If the former is not loyal to him, all the reputation he has accumulated over the years will be ruined."

"Third, although Qi Zi is so young, his scheming and strategy are no worse than those of a genius like Pang Tong. Although Wang Xuan also has great talents and strategies, he cannot be compared with them."

"And the fourth point..."

Before Wu Yazi could finish speaking, she was immediately stopped by Chen Shuyi, "Yes, yes, your words make my head spin. I just want to know who you want to win."

"To be honest, I still want Qi Zhi to win."

Chen Shuyi asked again, "Why."

"Although Wang Xuan also saved your life, I don't get along with him much, and I don't like his hypocrisy even more. It would be better to abandon this kid."

Chen Shuyi smiled slightly and said, "Then have you forgotten the kid Erdan?"

"I secretly came to him once before and asked about this matter. This kid is eager to let his father lose. His father is abandoned and arranged to live a wealthy life, so that the idiot can wander around the world as he pleases."

Chen Shuyi sighed softly and said, "This kid is really big-hearted. If something happens to his father on the battlefield, wouldn't the friendship with Qi Zhi be overturned?"

Wu Yazi told his wife not to worry about this matter. As long as Wang Xuan did not seek death, his life would not be in danger.

The couple chatted while walking on the road, and gradually disappeared into the sunset.

After so many years, even if one person is in a coma, the other still never leaves. The deep relationship between the two is really enviable.

It was said that Wang Qizhi and Yan'er were walking on the road, and the latter said: "Senior Shuyi is so beautiful, she doesn't look old at all."

Wang Qizhi said: "When I saw her for the first time, I was extremely shocked. I thought she was the eldest daughter of the Yellow Flower whom Senior Wu Yazi kidnapped from somewhere! When we learned about their deeds, we were also extremely moved. Then I made up my mind to cure Senior Shuyi and reunite the two of them."

Yan'er also sighed with emotion, "Lovers will eventually get married."

After Wang Qizhi separated from Yan'er, he went to the study. He asked his men to send letters to the military adviser and several generals, asking them to come to discuss the next move.

A few days later, everyone had arrived, and among them was a handsome young general named Ma Mengfan. He was tall and looked extremely heroic and domineering in his silver armor.

Ma Mengfan was born into a famous family, and his family occupied the entire northwest region. Later, Wei Meng unified the region and killed his parents and family members. He led his men to escape, hiding his identity all the way and escaping to the Chu region after all the hardships.

Ma Mengfan originally wanted to seek refuge with the King of Chu, but Wu Youding was jealous and did not believe the former at all. Later, he prepared to go to Southern Xinjiang, hoping to carve out a world there and avenge his parents. Unexpectedly, he was abandoned by the king and took the lead and unified Southern Xinjiang one step ahead. In desperation, he took refuge with Wang Qizhi.

Wang Qizhi, like Ma Mengfan, had a deep hatred for Wei Meng, so it was the wisest move to seek refuge with him.

But when Ma Mengfan saw that His Highness the Prince was so young, he was a little dissatisfied at first. How could a young boy be his lord? Later, when he heard about Wang Qizhi's deeds and his safe return from Chu, he finally felt at ease. He plans to settle down, but he is still somewhat dissatisfied. It seems that it will not be easy to subdue him.

Wang Qizhi also knew this very well, but he still adhered to the philosophy in his heart. There are no generals who cannot be conquered, only useless lords.

A map of Jiuzhou had been laid out on Wang Qizhi's table. Pang Tong stepped forward, pointed to a place in the lower right corner of southern Xinjiang, and said: "This is our Jingxiang County, adjacent to Jinzhou Wuling County, and Other places are mountainous, so you can only go to Wuling through this county."

Ma Mengfan questioned: "There is only a narrow plank road here leading to Wuling County. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to pass through here."

Others also nodded in agreement. There were two main difficulties. One was that it was difficult to transport grain and grass. The carriage could not pass through this narrow plank road at all.

Secondly, it is like a dream that so many of their soldiers want to pass through such a long plank road without being discovered. If they are discovered by Wei Meng, they will easily be ambushed.

How could Pang Tong be so smart and not think of these two points? He stroked his beard and smiled and said: "First of all, it is not difficult to transport grain and grass in such a narrow place, because Zhu Yunduan invented a tool when he was alive, named It’s called a wooden cow and a flowing horse.”

Everyone showed doubts in their eyes. What was this wooden cow and flowing horse? How come they had never heard of it.

Wang Qizhi explained: "To put it bluntly, this wooden cow and flowing horse is a cart that is pushed by people. There is a wheel in the middle, and there are supports on both sides for placing goods. There are two handles at the back to push it. One person in the front can pull it with a rope, and two people can do it. Transport three to four hundred stones of grain and grass.”
