Chapter 759: Qing Yangshuo Almost Jumped Up

The appearance of a clue regarding the Imperial Jade Seal is absolutely the biggest event in the Longyan Dynasty this year.

It could also be said that it is the biggest event in the Longyan Dynasty in several hundred years.

Even the imperial court could not help but dispatch troops.

Xie Tianyao has not personally issued an order to dispatch troops for a long time, at least not for over twenty years. It is evident that he has a longing for the Imperial Jade Seal, a longing for something that can stabilize Longyan.

Therefore, when the Imperial Edict reached Liu Zheng, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

Three hundred thousand troops...

It seems that Xie Tianyao, who has been able to remain the Longyan Emperor for so many years, truly has a different level of vision.

The Imperial Jade Seal appearing in Liaodong, and happening to coincide with the time when Liu Zheng wanted to develop Liaodong, makes this matter inherently unusual. In his report to the imperial court, Liu Zheng mentioned his suspicion that Qiao Yuan is the biggest human trafficker in Longyan. Xie Tianyao knows Liu Zheng's character; his suspicion is basically a definitive judgment.

A human trafficker.

Then where did the people go?

Without a doubt, there is only one possibility: Nanyang.

The remnants of the Prosperous Tang in Nanyang!

And if they have the opportunity, how could they give up the chance to seize the Imperial Jade Seal?

And after the human trafficking Qiao Yuan has carried out over these years, how many troops do the remnants of the Prosperous Tang actually have? No one knows.

Three hundred thousand.

This is the limit of what Xie Tianyao can send to reinforce Liaodong.

Why? Just as mentioned before. Once the Imperial Jade Seal appears, not only is Xie Tianyao excited, but other factions are also excited, the group following Xie Fang is also excited, and the Scholar-official Group is also excited. Those Feudatory Kings, one by one, are also excited. Among the dozens of Feudatory Kings in Longyan who each command thirty thousand troops, who can guarantee that there isn't one with great ambition who wants to fish in troubled waters?

The military strength of each large province is limited.

Xie Tianyao can only mobilize one hundred thousand troops from each of the three large provinces near Liaodong; this is very carefully considered. One hundred thousand troops is not too many, nor too few; it will not affect the overall situation, but it will not cause these Feudatory Kings to lose the capital to defend their own territories.

And so.

Vast and mighty.

The three hundred thousand troops from several locations, upon receiving the order, began their journey to reinforce Liaodong.

The entire Longyan is watching.

Liu Zheng, for his part, is naturally in no rush to excavate.

Since Xie Tianyao has sent three hundred thousand troops over, it means that Wangchuan has now become a place of contention. A great battle will inevitably take place here. Therefore, the excavation must at least wait until these three hundred thousand troops arrive. The current important task is to be on guard.

On guard.

A Tomb Cluster has certainly already incited the madness of Qiao Yuan and the remnants of the Prosperous Tang.

Fortunately.

The mountains of Wangchuan are inherently a place easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Quick, quick, quick, over here!"

"We need a sentry post here too, go chop some trees quickly!"

"Here, we need a horse-blocking obstacle!"

The scene is very chaotic and very busy.

What is distressing, yet also comforting, is that at this moment, the first heavy snow of Liaodong has arrived.

What is distressing is that doing these things amidst the swirling snow is truly quite difficult, and there is also a need to work overtime.

What is comforting is that this heavy snow is advantageous for the defending side. The heavy snow and mud will cause the attacking side's cavalry and some siege machinery to fall into a predicament. Thus, the Liangzhou Army responsible for building the defensive fortifications, on one hand, hopes the snow will stop, and on the other hand, hopes the snow will get even heavier.

They are about to face war.

No one wants to lose their life in the war.

Liu Zheng, under the protection of Pei Qianyun, walked a circle in the snow by the light of lamps.

"Tell the brothers to pay attention to keeping warm; if they are too exhausted, they must not push themselves!"

Liu Zheng instructed.

"Yes! My Lord!"

The defensive fortifications are spread out around the entire Tomb Cluster.

These past few days, the people on Xie Fang's and Xie Ming's sides have all been putting in their best efforts to come and negotiate with Liu Zheng.

Negotiate what?

They also want to participate in the ranks of those excavating the tomb.

They are anxious.

Every one of them is anxious.

But there is nothing they can do; right now in these Wangchuan mountains, Liu Zheng is the one who calls the shots!

He has the most troops!

Xie Ming is fine; he has sent people over multiple times to express his willingness to be on good terms with Liu Zheng. But what about Xie Fang? He and Liu Zheng have long since had a falling out; for him to come and "beg" Liu Zheng to bring him along?

Impossible!

Of course, Xie Fang's advantage in status is also there; he is the Longyan Crown Prince, after all. He will just watch Liu Zheng toss and turn here for now; he does not believe that in the end, Liu Zheng would really dare not include him in this matter of the Imperial Jade Seal!

Liangzhou.

Yintan City.

"Daddy, Daddy, I'm back!"

Qing Yangshuo was playing chess, and was made to frown by this noisy commotion from Hu Xi'er.

With a *snap*.

The chess piece in his hand fell.

Hu Xi'er had come with Mo Chen again. This time it was even more outrageous; the two of them came holding hands!

"What is the meaning of this? What is the meaning of this!"

Qing Yangshuo was so angry he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Hu Xi'er stuck out her tongue, but still stiffened her neck: "Dad, what's wrong? I just like this blockhead Mo Chen! Besides, Lord Liu has already granted us a marriage, what else do you want? I am a Lady now, and your official rank isn't even as high as mine, so don't go shouting at me!"

"You, you, you..."

The hand Qing Yangshuo used to hold his teacup nearly lost its grip!

Yes.

He didn't even know what Liu Dahao was playing at! His mood during this period had truly been terrible! Wang Chao had already left; when he was in Yintan City, he had persuaded him for a long time, saying things like children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, and besides, my Mo Chen isn't bad either... The Supreme Prince advocates for free love and resists parental orders and arranged marriages, so why must you be like this?

But he, Qing Yangshuo, simply did not like this foolish man Mo Chen!

Look at that clumsy appearance of his; he was truly not even one ten-thousandth as good as himself! If it weren't for the fact that he was a disabled person... he could look down on ten thousand Mo Chens!

And what made him even more devastated was this.

He didn't give Mo Chen a good look, so Hu Xi'er simply took Mo Chen and ran off to Liangzhou Prefecture.

As for the girl Xi'er, Liu Dahao and Feng Sanniang loved her dearly.

Such a quirky and clever girl, who wouldn't like her? The old couple were both pondering whether they should speed up the process of having their second child. People say that after one gets old, one enjoys the happiness of having children and grandchildren around their knees even more. But the two of them only had one son, Liu Zheng, and he was never home, so the wish of counting on him to give them a grandson was also far off in the distant future.

And so.

The two of them completely regarded Hu Xi'er as their own daughter; whenever she came to Liangzhou Prefecture, there were all kinds of good food, good clothes, and fun things.

Hu Xi'er was naturally happy too.

So she proposed that she wanted Liu Dahao to grant them a marriage.

When Liu Dahao heard this, he thought it was a good thing; Hu Xi'er was eighteen this year, it was time to grant a marriage.

So he waved his hand.

It was approved.

By the order of the Xiliang King, the marriage of Hu Xi'er and Mo Chen was granted.

And he even gave Hu Xi'er the title of a Lady of Liangzhou.

When Qing Yangshuo heard this, he nearly jumped up from his wheelchair.
