"You said Xi Yunshi is dead." Luo Luo lowered her eyes slightly and rubbed the porcelain cup in her hand.
The person in charge of intelligence lowered his head and was a little nervous. He was worried that the lord would think that they had made a mistake." Our people only encouraged Xi Yunshi with a few words, saying that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family has always been unruly and willful. Xi Yunshi, who could not tolerate her first wife's children, did not listen to us. Instead, she agreed to divorce Xi Feng and returned to her mother's house the next day. That night, she committed suicide by taking poison."
"You may leave." Lingluo supported her chin slightly and waved her hand casually.
After his subordinates left, Ji Ze walked out of the cubicle. Usually, he rarely participated in the affairs of the world, and only occasionally gave a few pointers.
He had also heard the information just now. Looking at Lingluo's somewhat dispirited expression, he could not help but feel a little worried. He said in a deep voice," Are you feeling guilty about Xi Yun's death?”
He didn't want to see his student's heart waver because of a little bit of soft-heartedness.
Lingluo looked up at him and said coldly," You're thinking too much. If she wants to die, how can I stop her? Why should I stop her? In this world, there are many more people who are more miserable than her and deserve my mercy. I only pity her for underestimating her own value.”
She wasn't afraid of others insulting and abandoning her, but she was afraid that she would abandon herself as well.
Ji Ze was slightly relieved. He was thinking too much.
"But now that she's dead, I'm in trouble. I still have a lot of things to deal with.”Lingluo rubbed her brows. The aristocratic families and Yuan family would definitely take this opportunity to spread rumors that Xi Yunshi was killed. If it were her, she would do the same thing, taking advantage of your weakness to take your life.
Lingluo was right. There was a man who hated her to the bone now, Xi Feng. After hearing the sad and exaggerated words of the maid beside Xi Yunshi, his eyes turned red and he slammed his hand on the table hatefully." Shen Lingluo, if I don't take revenge for my wife's death, I, Xi Feng, swear that I'm not human.”
This rumor was clearly the work of the aristocratic families and the Yuan family. They wanted to pin the death of Xi Yunshi on Lingluo and at the same time, create a political marriage between the Yuan and Xi families.
There was a flurry of discussion in the hall. All the aides came up with their own ideas on how to reverse the current discussion and wash away such a bad reputation.
"No need." Lingluo stood up and said indifferently.
" Rumors are just rumors. As long as we win this battle, these rumors will naturally disappear without a trace."”
She was bound to have a war with the Yuan Family, or the aristocratic family behind it, and these useless rumors were just a small adjustment before the war.
"Pass down my order. All troops, prepare for war at any time.”
"As the lord says." The aides cupped their hands and said,
Everyone in the world thought that the Shen family's army was the weakest among the various rebel armies because it had only appeared for a short period of time and rarely appeared in front of people. The Shen family was able to seize a large area of the Southeast coastal territory mostly because of Shen Lingluo's resourcefulness. The Shen family's connections in the local areas were deeply rooted and the government could not withstand a single blow.
It was time for the Shen family's army to show its extraordinary strength in front of the world.
However, before the Shen family and the Yuan family could fight, the Le family and the Southern King in the north had already started fighting. For a time, the forces in the north were in chaos.
The Shen family and the Yuan family suddenly suppressed their anger, and even the rumors of the death of the Xi Yun family disappeared completely. Instead, they were replaced by the ever-changing news of the war in the north.
According to the Shen family's spies, the one leading the Le clan this time was not Le Wei, but an unknown young man, Zhao Bingqi.
He only led 30,000 troops to fight against King Nan's 100,000 troops. 30,000 against 100,000, which meant that he would lose the upper hand in the sky. However, Le Wei had to guard the border to prevent the barbarians in the north, so he could not divide too many troops to deal with King Nan.
King Nan was the third son of Emperor Wen of Chu and the uncle of Emperor You. He had always been a proud and ambitious man. Even after the world was in chaos, he was still the most powerful vassal.
Rumor had it that Zhao Bingqi had personally requested the battle from Old General Le Wei, and Old General Le trusted and valued this young man.
To be able to lead troops into battle at the age of twenty, other than the demon-like Shen Lingluo, there should be no one else. The various factions had no choice but to be cautious.
It wasn't that Lingluo and the Yuanfu hadn't thought of interfering, but the situation in the north was too dangerous. It wasn't something they could do, so they could only wait and see.
They could wait calmly, but there was someone who couldn't wait any longer, and that was Le Yao. She did not receive the news as quickly and accurately as the intelligence network of the major forces. She only knew that the Le family army and the Southern King's forces had started a war.
Le Yao was concerned about her family, so she rode a fast horse for three days and two nights to the north. Only then did she find out that Old General Le had not come, but she had already joined the Le Family Army. Le Yao simply pretended to be an ordinary scholar and wanted to join the army. Only then would she be appreciated by Zhao Bingqi and become his aide. From then on, they were fated.
After half a month of intense battle, the Nanwang King was defeated, and the Le Clan's victory came to an end. The Le Clan successfully established their power in the north with this battle.
Many people did not expect such an outcome. Apart from being scattered, she saw the two words 'Yao Le' on a secret letter in her hand. It had played a role in many battles between the Le family army and the Southern King army.
Lingluo's subordinates had specially set up an intelligence organization. They would divide and summarize the information from all directions in detail, marking the weight and weight. Other than that, they would also create personal information scrolls for Lingluo to check at any time. There were many people on the scrolls, and Yao Le was one of them.
From her real identity as Le Wei's beloved daughter, Le Yao, to her running away from home two years ago, to the detailed analysis of every strategy she proposed in this battle, everything was secondary.
Compared to the unexpected result, the various factions were more concerned about the division of the uprising forces in the north after this battle and how they should deal with it.
And in the Shen family's gunpowder workshop, thousands of craftsmen were working day and night.
"How's the production going?”Luo Luo dipped her hand into the gunpowder and looked at it under the sunlight. It was still alright.
"The production batches ordered by the lord have all been prepared.”A middle-aged man in a gray official robe cupped his hands and replied respectfully.
The gunpowder made from a mixture of potassium nitrates, sulfur, and charcoal powder was called black. fire. Medicine or brown gunpowder, gunpowder weapons are also mainly based on black. fire. It was developed based on the principle of medicine.
After deciding to fight for the world in this life, Lingluo wrote down all the guns, ammunition, gunpowder bombs, and landmine recipes that she had learned and researched in her previous life. She let the Shen family's craftsmen secretly develop them and even invited highly skilled craftsmen.
With the accumulation of a large amount of financial resources, some gunpowder firearms could be made with current technology, but some could only be temporarily left for future research.
The Shen family's workshop had developed firearms such as the Sky Shaking Thunder and the Thunderbolt Cannon, which were mainly used to attack or defend cities. There were also caltrop fireballs, poisons, and smoke balls that were less explosive. The gun that Lingluo had been longing for was not considered a success. The main reason was that bullets were too difficult to make and took a lot of time. The workshop had only made a few of them.
Lingluo had brought her father to watch the results of the firearms and cannons. They did not exceed her expectations, but they did not disappoint her. This was a big killing weapon that she had prepared in her hands.
He would help her become the king and sweep away all obstacles.
The day of the Shen family and Yuan family's war was set on the ninth day of the lunar month. Coincidentally, the marriage between the Yuan and Xi families was also set on that day. It seemed that they wanted to use this to make this marriage more famous.
However, it was not certain who would be the stepping stone for whom.
In the hall of the government office, Lingluo was discussing the formation of troops with the generals.
Suddenly, a soldier of the Shen family came to report. Lingluo waved her hand and let people in. The soldier immediately knelt down after entering and said,"Reporting to my lord, outside the city, there is a person who claims to be a disciple of the Yun family, Yun Chen. He said that he can help my lord win this battle.”
"Have you checked his identity? What's your motive?" Lingluo was still staring at the formation map on the sand table. She did not even raise her eyes as she asked.
"I've checked. The family symbol on his body is real, and the words he said are confirmed to be correct. As for his motive, he said that he wanted to avenge his sister.”
"His sister? It's the Xi Yun Clan." Lingluo thought for a moment and guessed it. She could not help but chuckle," The whole world is saying that I, Shen Lingluo, killed the Xi Yun family in order to destroy the marriage alliance between the Yuan and Xi families. He came to join me. Isn't he afraid that his sister won't be at peace in the afterlife?”
A dim light flashed in Lingluo's eyes.
"Forget it, let him in."
The subordinate did as he was told and soon brought him up. It was a young man dressed in a blue robe and a silk robe. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. When he saw the only young woman in her early twenties sitting at the head of the hall, he knew that this should be the head of the Shen family, Shen Lingluo.
"I am Yun Chen, the Seventh Prince of the Yun Clan. Greetings, Lord Shen.”
"I met you because I was curious about your purpose for coming here.”Lingluo smiled.
"I want to avenge my sister and kill Xi Feng, this heartless person.”Yun Ting gritted his teeth.
"Oh, your way of thinking is quite different from others.”Lingluo's eyes moved slightly. She supported her chin with her right hand and the way she looked at Yun Chen seemed to have changed.
"I've never blamed you, sir. The one who really killed my sister was Xi Feng. If it wasn't for his greed for wealth and marriage with the Yuan family, my sister wouldn't have ended up in such a state.”Yun Ting's eyes reddened when he said this.
Lingluo stared into his eyes and said seriously," What do you want to do?”
Yun Chen lifted his sleeves and wiped his tears. He said firmly," I'm willing to do everything I can to help Lord Shen and destroy the Xi family.”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands." This is the Yuan Family's plan for this battle. I have taken a look at it and memorized most of it. Now, I present it to Lord Shen. I hope that Lord Shen can win this battle and let my sister's spirit rest in peace in heaven."”
