After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy

Chapter 213: Xiliang and Beimo join forces, Xuanlong is in danger

In this way, more than ten days passed in peace.

When Prince Yong Murong Cong took Concubine Li away, he went to thank Murong Ye in person.

He swore that he would protect the southwest of Xuanlong.

He also brought generous gifts to the Jiang residence and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Qingqing profusely. Then he packed up his things and prepared to leave for his fiefdom in the southwest.

Before leaving, Concubine Li begged Murong Ye, saying that she and the Grand Empress Dowager were sisters and they must meet each other before they parted.

Murong Ye rubbed his forehead helplessly. He grew up in the palace and naturally knew about the secret competition between the two.

In order to suppress Prince Yong, the Empress Dowager imprisoned Concubine Li in the deep palace for decades, resulting in the separation of their flesh and blood for many years.

Now that Concubine Li is finally free, she naturally wants to show off in front of her former enemies.

Murong Ye had a lot of thoughts in his mind, because the Royal Grandmother did not like Zuo Yexuan.

Therefore, I didn't like Murong Ye very much when I was a child.

On the contrary, Concubine Li, who had always been at odds with the Empress Dowager, loved and cared for Murong Ye very much.

Therefore, Murong Ye naturally agreed to Concubine Li's little wish before leaving.

Of course, he also reminded people: Never make people angry to death.

His wedding with Yuyao had already been delayed for three years due to the death of Yuyao's grandmother. If the royal grandmother passed away at this moment, their wedding would have to be delayed again...

Murong Ye naturally didn't want to see such a situation.

The actual result was almost as Murong Ye expected.

Concubine Li and Prince Yong had just gone to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager.

When Ouyang Lan saw Li Feier's youthful and bright appearance, and also saw her being supported by Prince Yong Murong Cong with a look of great joy, Ouyang Lan only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

He learned that his former rival was going to follow his own son to enjoy a good life in his fiefdom.

And she...as the Empress Dowager, she holds a high position.

Ouyang Lan couldn't bear it for a moment as she was trapped in this small space by her own grandson.

She shouted that she wanted to see Murong Ye, but was stopped. She was so angry that she vomited blood several times.

Murong Ye immediately sent a trusted imperial physician to treat the patient.

The imperial physician reported back that the Empress Dowager was in critical condition and could only live for five years at most.

Murong Ye nodded in understanding and asked the imperial physician to take good care of him.

Half a month later...

The women's factory founded by Zuo Yexuan also produced the first batch of cement under the operation of Murong Ye.

At first, when the black cement fell on the ground, everyone was pointing and talking, confused.

At one point they even thought that the smell in the air was poisonous gas and they covered their faces and ran away.

But when the cement dried, revealing the smooth and flat road surface, the onlookers were shocked beyond words.

"Oh my god, what is this? The ground is as smooth as a mirror, and you can vaguely see a person's shadow. It's just like a bronze mirror."

Some people were full of praise.

"You don't know, this is made by the women's factory founded by the current Queen Mother... I think it's called cement."

"I heard that the ground made of cement will be smoother and harder. In the future, when it rains, even if it rains for dozens of days, you won't have mud all over your feet when you go out..."

Some businessmen were overjoyed.

They often travel all over the country, and only they know how difficult the road ahead is.

Therefore, when they saw the cement road as smooth as a mirror, their faces turned red with excitement.

If all the roads in Xuanlong Country could be paved with cement, then... it would definitely greatly shorten the travel time between their various counties.

This saves not only time, but also money...

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Queen Mother!"

For a time, the people's trust and respect for the royal family undoubtedly reached its peak.

After seeing the new cement road, Murong Ye waved his hand and ordered the expansion of the factory to produce cement.

His short-term goal is to pave such cement roads throughout Xuanlong Country.

As expected, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The Queen Mother did not lie to him.

The expansion of the factory has invisibly absorbed many low-level laborers, allowing them to have a place to work and fully realize their life value.

All of a sudden, hooligans and beggars from every alley went there one after another, and the streets were truly deserted.

At the same time, Zuo Yexuan anonymously sent someone to deliver the sweet potato seedlings to Murong Ye, and provided detailed planting procedures.

Murong Ye did not delay and as soon as he got the materials, he ordered the Agricultural Department to carry out large-scale planting and seedling cultivation according to the planting methods.

The Agricultural Affairs Bureau was the organization responsible for overseeing all agricultural affairs.

At first, they held a strange sweet potato seedling with puzzled looks on their faces.

With this, can we really achieve a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu as Your Majesty said?

Doubts filled the minds of every official in the Agricultural Administration.

But, His Majesty has given the order, and they have no choice but to obey.

In addition, Murong Ye was extremely concerned about this matter.

Apart from attending court and reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study, he spent almost the rest of his time in the experimental fields.

Therefore, everyone in the Agricultural Administration Department actively participated in the battle as if they were fighting a war.

……

At this time of prosperity and happiness among the people.

However, urgent news came from the border.

In the northwest direction, the Beimo Kingdom ignored its previous promise to respect Xuanlong and tore up the treaty overnight. Wanyan Gaofei led his troops and had already captured a city.

In addition, Wanyan Gaofei also massacred and tortured prisoners in the city and killed innocent people.

Coincidentally, in Xiliang, due west of Xuanlong Kingdom, Songxia Chen, led by his master, launched a large-scale attack on Xuanlong, and a siege was imminent.

Xuanlong was attacked from both sides and the situation was not optimistic.

General Zhenbei Zhao Qingshan's chronic illness had already been cured by Jiang Tiantian, so as soon as he heard the news, he went to the palace to request to lead troops to the battle.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaoyao and his second son Jiang Dingguo also took the initiative to volunteer to Murong Ye.

Since Jiang Anguo had a son, Jiang Xiaoyao asked his eldest son to accompany Wan'er and her son.

After all, they are quite experienced in fighting against Xiao Xiliang, which has been living a comfortable life these days.

Murong Ye naturally nodded.

All of a sudden, the army advanced westward, and the entire imperial city seemed even more empty.

……

General Xiaoyao's Mansion.

Jiang Xinlan kept wiping the Ruyi Red Tassel Spear with her small hands, her eyes moving around, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

She really wanted to follow her second uncle and grandfather to the battlefield in Xiliang.

But her grandfather said she was still young, and told her to grow up well before leaving.

Jiang Tiantian held her chin with her little hands.

She had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the battlefields of Xiliang and Beimo, but... she had just come up with this idea when Jiang Qingqing saw through it.

Not only was she restricted from walking, but she was also ordered to keep an eye on her at all times by siblings Meng Xiaodie and Meng Xiaotian.

"Eh!" Jiang Tiantian sighed helplessly.

【what to do? 】

[According to the original book plot, Xiliang will send vanguard troops and spies to intercept Xuanlong's rescue troops]

[Then, they will burn, kill, plunder, and kill people in Jinling City, and even use them to make puppets]

[These are more than 300,000 Xuanlong people! ]

[No, I must go! ]
