Chapter 142 The City Lord's Daughter Sends Help 19
As soon as the three of them entered Qinglong City, He Fancheng and Shen Muxi received the news, and then sent people to arrest them. Zhiqing was still shouting that the eldest lady of Qinglong City liked him and he wanted to see Luo Chen, but after being scolded by Shen Muxi, he became obedient. Ma and Ma Yuhe wanted to make a fuss when they saw Zhiqing being beaten so badly, but they were scared by the knife in Shen Muxi's hand and dared not speak.
The three of them could only stay in the prison, with rats as their companions. Zhiqing couldn't stop praying in his heart that Luo Chen would know that he was here and rescue him quickly. However, this wish was in vain, because even if Luo Chen knew he was here, he would not come to rescue him.
In addition to making full use of the knowledge he had learned in this world, Luo Chen also often made sachets and nourishing foods for the four people, so his cooking skills improved a lot.
But her relationship with Shen Muxi did not progress any further. For some reason, Shen Muxi was very polite to her now and no longer called her Luoluo, but just called her Miss every day.
Luo Chen couldn't figure it out so she stopped thinking about it. After all, they were very busy now. Although her father and the others didn't allow her to get involved, she still had to do what she could.
Half a year later, Qinglong City was ready and was just waiting for Xuanwu City to take action.
After the false news was released, Xuanwu City really took the bait and began to send troops to Qinglong City. Shen Muxi led his troops to meet them directly, while He Fancheng led 10,000 troops to go around behind Xuanwu City, preparing to attack Wei to save Zhao.
After the fighting started, Xuanwu City discovered that Qinglong City's troops were so powerful, especially Shen Muxi, who was a military genius. In a short while, Xuanwu City was beaten back step by step. Zhiyuan was a little overwhelmed. He looked at the defense map sent back from Qinglong City in his hand, and became suspicious. Could it be that Qinglong City had known his plan for a long time, but he had never revealed any of his thoughts?
Thinking back to the last time a thief broke into the city lord's mansion at night, he had not been caught. Moreover, nothing in his study was lost, and there was no sign of him moving. Moreover, the thief was discovered and injured before he even got close to his study.
Could it be that my first step was blocked?
The other two cities were not strong, so Zhiyuan did not take them seriously. As long as he could take Qinglong City, the remaining two cities would not be a problem and could be dealt with together.
Just when Zhiyuan was worrying about the war in the front, He Fancheng had already led his men to quietly figure out all the defensive locations of Xuanwu City and also deployed people there.
After the entire layout was successful, at Meng Yuwei's order, Shen Muxi and Meng Xingyuan led their troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, and He Fancheng also led the 10,000 people into Xuanwu City. Zhiyuan, who was sleeping, was awakened by the sounds of fighting outside, and hurriedly got up. Before he could put on his clothes, He Fancheng led his troops to kill in.
"Lord, I'm sorry to wake you up."
Zhiyuan asked in panic, "How did you get in?"
"Of course I broke in, otherwise you couldn't have opened the door yourself to let me in." He Fancheng said with a smile.
Zhiyuan knew he was defeated, so he stopped resisting: "How did you get my defense map?"
He Fancheng said: "Of course it's your youngest son. Zhiliangliang told my eldest daughter about it."
Zhi Yuan snorted coldly: "As expected of Meng Yuwei's daughter, she is inherently treacherous."
He Fancheng smiled and slapped Zhiyuan hard: "Isn't this what I learned from you? You really think my young lady can't see through Zhiqing's calculations? Before, when we were in Lishui Town, Zhiqing disdained my young lady, but now he's madly in love with her. Haha, do you really think others are fools? You get carried away by a few sweet words. Can't you see through this abnormal behavior?"
Zhiyuan then realized that he had been deceived by his son. When he came back that day, he said that he and the eldest lady of Qinglong City were childhood sweethearts, and that Meng Luochen was deeply in love with him. It turned out that they were all lies. No wonder the boy couldn't see Meng Luochen in Qinglong City. So that's the case. Finally, he understood what the problem with Zhiqing was.
Zhi Yuan now wished he could cut his son into pieces. If he hadn't alerted the enemy, his plan would not have been exposed to Meng Yuwei, and he would not have been plotted against like this.
The entire Xuanwu City was controlled by He Fancheng, and the soldiers in the front were trapped by Shen Muxi and could not return to rescue the emperor. Therefore, in just over three months, Xuanwu City became the territory of Qinglong City.
Meng Yuwei continued his efforts and ordered Shen Muxi to lead troops to capture the remaining two cities. In one year, the world was unified. Meng Yuwei ascended the throne and became emperor, and rewarded his troops according to their merits.
Shen Muxi became Duke of Jingguo due to his military achievements, and He Fancheng also received the title of Marquis of Chengde.
Meng Xingyuan was immediately named the crown prince, and although Luo Chen had never been to the battlefield, because of her significant contributions, she was named the Princess of the Nation, a status equal to that of the crown prince.
In the days that followed, Meng Yuwei was busy governing the country, Meng Xingyuan followed his father to learn how to be a crown prince, and He Fancheng was also busy. Only Shen Muxi, who was in charge of the army and had more free time after the war, often went to find Luo Chen with some treasures he had won in the war.
Luo Chen has been waiting for Shen Muxi to speak, but this taciturn guy just doesn't say anything. He suddenly ignored him for no reason before, and now he is sticking to him again. Luo Chen also has a temper. What does this mean?
Therefore, he pretended not to know. Implicitly, he treated Shen Muxi as his brother. This made Shen Muxi very anxious. Wasn't his behavior obvious?
These two people just act like brother and sister, which makes He Fancheng very anxious. When he was single, these two people were ambiguous with each other. When he was married, these two people were like strangers. His son was born now, how could these two people act like brothers?
He Fancheng found Meng Xingyuan and told him about the two men. After they discussed it, they went to find Meng Yuwei.
The next day, the palace suddenly announced that it was going to select a consort for the eldest princess. It was also stated that anyone of similar age, who kept himself clean and had outstanding conduct, and most importantly, was handsome, could participate in the selection, regardless of their social status.
As soon as the news came out, all the officials became interested. It was obvious to all how favored the eldest princess was. The emperor built a palace for the princess in the palace that was no less beautiful than the East Palace. Moreover, the construction of this palace was personally supervised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It can be seen that the eldest princess was favored by two generations of emperors. If she could be married home, the family would be rich for at least three generations.
Moreover, many people have seen this princess. She is as beautiful as a fairy. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Qinglong Kingdom.
All of a sudden, all the people were dressed up by their families and prepared to be sent to the palace to be selected by the princess.
Before the palace issued any definite decree, word had already spread that there were three stages in selecting a prince consort: the civil and military stages, as well as the princess's final wishes, and the story was spread with great detail.
Luo Chen listened to the rumors and found that his two brothers looked like they were enjoying a good show. He felt amused, and looking at Shen Muxi's visibly panicked look, he became playful and acted very happy and excited. He even set the questions himself.
