Yun Qijun now regrets her reckless actions.

Originally, the master sect just let her act according to the opportunity, and she didn't have to turn against each other on the spot. But she felt that Zhao Yuanjin was just an ordinary prince and did not seem to have strong guard power around her. With her cultivation level and her two nephews, she could solve it directly, so that she would not have to continue dealing with this troublesome person in the future.

Zhao Yuanjin's current power expansion and development is too fast. Perhaps after Wu Zhence finally solved the imperial army, he turned around and found that a stronger opponent had appeared by his side.

After working hard, in the end, I made wedding dresses for others, which is definitely not the result that the master can accept.

Under normal circumstances, even if the guards around Zhao Yuanjin fight back to death, they can at most leave Qinglin. Qingyuan brothers, she may not even have minor injuries, but Zhao Yuanjin herself will definitely die.

As long as he dies, the princes in Jingzhou will fight in a melee, and it will be impossible for the outcome to happen in the future. In the future, Wu Zhence will be able to unify the south.

However, the consequences of the attack were unexpected that this proud daughter of the Ling Cangshan lineage could not have expected that a young civil servant who seemed ordinary actually had magical means to pose a fatal threat to her. The two nephews were killed by one blow, and if she had not made a quick decision to activate the secret method to escape, she would have probably stayed there forever and could not get out.

The innate peak-level martial arts master is naturally far stronger and more flexible than ordinary people. Yun Qijun seals the acupoints near the wound with his true energy, takes out a sharp knife from his body, and endurs the severe pain and pulls out the metal bullet.

"What exactly is this? A hidden weapon? Or a firearm? It doesn't seem like..."

She bandaged the wound, took out a pill and took it, and then put the bullet in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.

There are also muskets in this world, but they are still in a very primitive and simple stage. Not to mention the speed of fire, the range is only twenty steps, the lethality is quite limited, and the cost is not cheap, so it does not have much practical value.

This is true when facing ordinary soldiers. You can't even think about dealing with the martial arts master. Therefore, Yun Qijun looked at it without any result and could only put it away first.

"... Now that this is the case, Zhao Yuanjin can't kill him. Moreover, if there is such a big change in the south, he still has to rush back to the master as soon as possible and report to the ancestor before handling it." She thought silently in her heart.

...

Yangzhou.

On the city wall made of bluestone bricks, Wu Zhence, covered in armor, stood by the chassis and pondered, staring into the distance, with a deep gaze.

At nearly thirty years old, he is strong, has great strategy and good at decisiveness, and can accept advice. He has never failed to conquer cities and territory until now. Therefore, he has gathered many followers and has many capable and wise men under his command. He is recognized as the largest prince in the south and the most prestigious and popular Qianlong.

Now facing the encirclement and suppression of more than 100,000 elite imperial courts, Wu Zhence did not feel any concern. The Great Qi court was already declining and was about to end. Now this is just a reflection of the whole world. As long as he can survive this level, the foundation of the imperial court's rule in the south will completely collapse.

By then, I will occupy the prosperous south and be able to raise at least 300,000 elite soldiers. If I have the greatest capital to compete for the Central Plains, I will be just around the corner. What will the princes from the north compete with me?

"King..." an eunuch came over and saluted.

Although he has not officially ascended the throne yet, Wu Zhence has begun to regard himself as the King of Han, and all his subordinates are called this, and the same is true for the documents of exchanges with other princes.

"What's the matter?" Wu Zhence asked lightly.

"Empress Lan has just given birth. She is a little princess, and the mother and daughter are safe." The eunuch reported with a smile on his face.

When Wu Zhence heard this, he smiled a little more in his eyes: "Then let's go back to the palace. I will go and take a look. Then, I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold a banquet to entertain the ministers. All the eunuchs and palace maids can receive a reward of one month."

The eunuch kowtowed happily and thanked him.

The guards surrounded Wu Zhence and walked down the city wall. The large and gorgeous Han King's chariot had already been waiting. After he sat on it, the large group of people set off for the palace in the city.

After a moment, with the eunuch's notice, a cold-looking official came in outside the bright yellow curtain and kowtowed to Wu Zhence on the main seat.

"Get up and talk."

Wu Zhence glanced at him and said in a gentle tone: "How is Chen Qing's errand doing?"

"I am fortunate to be unfair. All the wealthy families who did not obey the king and secretly communicated with other princes and courts have taken them all, and their property has been confiscated. A total of 730,000 taels of silver, 239 boxes of pearls and jade, 3,700 silk, 1,100 hectares of grain fields, and 350 hectares of mulberry fields..."

After the official surnamed Chen finished his detailed explanation, he took out a list of lists from his arms and submitted them.

Wu Zhence took it and looked it casually, and said with a little emotion: "You have done it well, and these property can be used to provide the entire army with a period of expenses. Alas, how difficult the great cause..."

Military and national affairs are costly. When wars go, all the mountains of gold and silver can be spent like flowing water. Therefore, Wu Zhence could only plan from multiple sources and rack his brains to raise money to meet military supplies. Such as family scouts and tribes are naturally the fastest way to make money.

However, the family of officials with ill-hearted intentions is limited, and for the sake of appease and bribery, this kind of thing cannot be done too much. If it is too much, it will inevitably affect Wu Zhence's reputation.

"Okay, all the men in the family will be executed. The young female family will leave half of the rewards to the meritorious ministers, and the rest will be sold on a date, so that you can get a silver income." Wu Zhence finally ordered casually.

The official surnamed Chen was obviously responsible for the errands of dirty work. He was not surprised at all when he heard this. He responded in a deep voice and kowtowed and retreated.

Righteousness does not work in business, kindness does not control the army, let alone a lord? Since these families dare to disobey the king, they must have the awareness of being killed and destruction.

Wu Zhencemo sat for a while, and thought of the little princess who had just arrived, and a feeling of disappointment appeared in her heart.

He has no close brothers and does not have many descendants. He has only one six-year-old son and four daughters so far, which still has a negative impact on his great cause.

In the era of monarchy, the number of children is a very important political issue. As a founding king, you must have at least five legitimate princes to ensure a stable foundation in the future. Considering the high death rate of young children in this era, it is best to have more than ten sons. Of course, the princess must also have some, preparing to win people's hearts in the future and marry meritorious officials and nobles.

Therefore, after Wu Zhence became a family, he took beautiful concubines and planted them in a large amount of time, hoping to give birth to a few more sons, but so far, he has not seen any obvious results.

"Well, I heard that the female cultivator from Lingcangshan lineage is pretty good. Maybe he can ask for a few of them another day. It's a pity that Yun Qijun is about to be able to break through the realm of human immortals and will have to take over the Taoist throne in the future. It's impossible for him to marry outside. Otherwise, he can really consider being included in the harem..." Wu Zhence thought with regret.

...

Jingnan County.

"I've met the master..."

In a big mansion, two hundred strong men who had changed into new clothes were kowtowing to Qin Feng on the steps, while Zhu Yuntai and Zhao Cheng stood aside.

Originally, he only planned to choose one hundred people, but Zhu Yuntai reported that there were too many people who met the conditions. Considering his plan to form a chamber of commerce, Qin Feng let go and increased the first batch of guards to two hundred.

"What do you think of the young master?"

Zhu Yuntai asked: "Their family background is innocent and they don't have any diseases. Many people have used to be guards for wealthy families, business bodyguards, etc., and they have some basic knowledge. As long as they practice diligently in the future, they will be able to work quickly."

Qin Feng was quite satisfied after seeing it, so he nodded and said, "Then let it go, I will send the reward first."

A group of servants next to him came over with boxes and opened them in front of everyone. They were filled with newly cast snow-white silver ingots, the specifications of ten taels per person.

Zhu Yuntai announced in public: "One person can get twenty taels of silver, which is considered to be the settlement fee for you. From now on, each person can get three taels of silver, one stone of corn, and two sets of new clothes per month. Food and accommodation are the responsibility of the mansion. Remember to work diligently and don't let the young master down..."

Such treatment is extremely generous. A family of four can only spend two taels of silver a year. Even Zhao Cheng next to him is a little envious. How could he have such good treatment when he first joined the army? These guys' lives are a little better.

"In fifteen days, you can get your own weapons and armor." Qin Feng said last.
