In a blink of an eye, ten days passed, and everything was very peaceful. Both Qin and Shang needed time to accumulate energy, while the Tianjue Empire had been dormant.

For more than a month, Lin Muyu worked hard to govern and prepare for war. The most important thing he did was to prepare food, grass, weapons, etc. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi also came from the Xishan Province and brought 150,000 elite troops to help Lin Muyu guard the three southern provinces. For the Qin Empire, these three provinces were deep and backing places that provided food and wages. They must be guarded well, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold in this foreign land.

...

Spring is here, but there is no spring in the world. Every three or five days, there will inevitably be heavy snow, and the temperature will always be kept in the melting of ice and snow.

Hongyan City is a strong city. He Song was cruel and unkind during his reign against Hongyan City. He privately captured the common people to sacrifice the wolf souls. He had long been complaining. However, after the Qin Empire occupied Hongyan City, he immediately issued a list of people to relieve the people. He copied thousands of imperial charters and distributed them to various prefectures and counties, ordering the whole country to implement the constitution and govern the country with the constitution. After all, this law is placed here, and even the empress must follow it, and the entire social order began to become orderly.

What people need is actually very simple, just a sense of security, life security, fairness and justice.

Lin Muyu's injuries slowly healed. Although the speed was much slower than expected, it was still better after all.

In the early morning, wearing a marshal's cloak, he slowly walked out of the room and came to the cold yard. He saw that the peach blossoms in the courtyard were still not blooming, but small buds were covered with ice and snow. If the weather continued to be severe, it might not bloom this year. Those buds would freeze to death as the season progressed.

"well……"

Lin Muyu looked up at Taozhi and couldn't help but sigh. The weather was still cold, which only means that the aura of the Demon Realm was still surging into the six realms. Although the Heavenly Punishment had passed, this chaos was still there.

"Get up?"

Behind him, Qin Yin's soft laughter came: "Come on, take a sip of hot soup first."

"Thank you Xiaoyin."

Lin Muyu turned around, took the Tang Teng, then glanced at Qin Yinxiuzhi's beautiful face and said, "Xiao Yin, is there any news about Xishan Province and Shangguo these days?"

"Not yet." Qin Yin blinked and said, "For the time being, Feng is the commander and Qianfeng, Ding Xi and the others are watching. It's okay, Brother Ayu, it's the most important thing to keep your body safe."

Lin Muyu took a sip of the soup, continued to look at Taozhi, and said, "The peach blossoms will not bloom this year."

"Yes, maybe." Qin Yin clasped her hands tightly, looked at the footprints on the snow, and said thoughtfully: "Brother Ayu, have you ever considered..."

“What have you considered?”

"Take the military power and let the guards and Qiu rule the Longtian Camp and Bai Ze mercenaries?" Qin Yin said carefully: "I'm worried about your body... so don't bother so much. Xiao Xi also said that."

Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile, looked down at her, and said, "Xiao Yin, you are not worried about my body, you are worried about my confidence, right? After the defeat in Hongyan City, are you worried about my psychological fear of Chen Yu?"

"This...I..." Qin Yin hesitated and agreed.

Lin Muyu put the bowl on the stone table, stepped forward to hold Qin Yin's shoulder, looked at her straight, and said, "Yes, Chen Yu is indeed very powerful, so powerful that I don't have the absolute confidence to defeat him, but Xiao Yin, you should also know that Chen Yu is a hurdle for me. He used a trick to kill my general Xu Jiantao. If I can't overcome this hurdle myself, I can't defeat Chen Yu personally, and use his blood to pay tribute to Xu Jiantao, I will probably regret it for this in my life and will be ashamed of Xu Jiantao's spirit in the sky."

"But……"

"Don't worry, hatred will not make me lose my calmness, I have recovered." Lin Muyu smiled slightly, and her clear eyes were filled with confidence.

Qin Yin also smiled. As Lin Muyu said, the invincible Lin Muyu was back.

Sitting slowly on the cold stone bench, Qin Yin closed her hair and said softly: "Brother Ayu, are you planning to start a war between the north and the south?"

"Um."

Lin Muyu's eyes were like a torch: "Feng Jixing, Qian Feng, Ding Xi guarded the Xishan Province, with a total of 500,000 troops, enough to check and balance or even destroy the Yangshang army. What I have to do is to hold Chen Yu here and prevent him from doing anything rashly, wait for Brother Feng to destroy the Shang Kingdom, own the Black Stone Empire, and the entire territory of the Tianji Empire. By then, it will take several months to destroy the Tianjue Empire."

"Do you have any plans?"

"Yes." Lin Muyu was naturally heartbroken to the empress and said, "No matter how smart Chen Yu was, most of his troops were recruits, and the lack of combat power was a very objective fact. Therefore, as long as Chen Yu used his troops and never came to Linxi to attack Dafeng Jixing and Qianfeng's troops, I would have a chance. Starting from the Dongguan of Hongyan Province, the light cavalry could approach Luohan City within two days. If Chen Yu dared to fight Feng Jixing, I immediately took the surprise troops to his nest. Without the support of Luohan City, Chen Yu's 800,000 troops would naturally collapse without attacking."

"Aren't you worried that Chen Yu would attack and set up an ambush in the middle this time?"

Lin Muyu smiled: "Even my Xiao Yin thought that Chen Yu would use this strategy, so how could Chen Yu show off his skills?"

Qin Yin couldn't help but say a coquettish voice and said with a smile: "Are you saying I'm stupid?"

"No."

Lin Muyu shook her warm little hand and said, "Just just talk about the matter. Xiaoyin is not stupid, but I don't want you to be involved in this treacherous conspiracy world."

"Um……"

"Where is Xiao Xi, there is no one early in the morning."

"Oh, she and Ayao went out to buy vegetables and said they wanted to buy some fresh vegetables in person to cook for you to take care of themselves."

"There are so many chefs in the Linghuo Department, and they still need them to do it themselves..."

"It's different, it's different."

"All right……"

Not long after, there was a bustling sound outside. It seemed that Sikong Yao and Tang Xiaoxi were back. Both girls were more lively and they were very lively together. Lin Muyu and Qin Yin immediately walked out of the courtyard. Sure enough, in the courtyard of the mansion, Tang Xiaoxi and Sikong Yao came side by side. Sikong Yao was extremely excited and said, "Brother, I will bring someone back, guess who is here!"

"Who?"

"Here..."

Sikong Yao let go of her body, but behind her was a dusty woman, wearing the costumes of aristocratic girl in Tianji City, but the hem of her skirt was covered with mud. She was obviously bumpy all the way, her face was pretty and very familiar. Lin Muyu recognized her at first glance and said in surprise: "Miss Shang Qian?"

It’s the young lady of the business!

After seeing Lin Muyu, Shang Qian couldn't help but turn red and bowed: "Shang Qian sees the Marshal..."

"Why be so polite..."

"You are the marshal, not the one you used to be..." Shang Qian stumbled her red lips and said, "And I am just a daughter of a devastated country, a poor person who has lost her family."

"What the hell is going on?" Lin Muyu wondered.

Sikong Yao said: "Brother, don't you know? The chamber of commerce of Shang Qian's sister is called the Shang Family Alliance. The business of this Shang League once controlled nearly 30% of the economic lifeline of the Tianji Empire. The merchants can be called the richest man in the world. But later... Bei Mingyuan is no longer the emperor, and the new emperor Yang Shang is constantly increasing intensifying exploitation. Until a few days ago... I had a secret agreement with Shang Qian sister. The Shang Family Alliance secretly provided military rations to the Xishan Province. The incident was revealed and the entire merchant was affected..."

Shang Qian's eyes were red and she said, "Twenty days ago, my father and brother were killed. I survived the news because I was not in Tianji City. I was mixed with refugees and came to Hongyan City after several storms. The servants who followed me also changed from more than 70 people at the beginning to four people now... I have no relatives anymore, A Yao is my only support..."

Behind Shang Qian, the four servants were also in a state of turmoil. One of them was even seriously injured and half of their arm was cut off. It seemed that they had indeed experienced hardships along the way.

Lin Muyu said apologetically: "Miss Shang Qian, please feel sorry for me... This matter arose because of our Great Qin Empire. Please rest assured that the Great Qin Empire will definitely live up to merchants. A Yao, what are you going to do?"

Sikong Yao shook her head: "I don't know for the time being, so I'll arrange for Sister Shang Qian to live in Hongyan City first..."

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded, with a little hesitant expression. Qin Yin Bingxue, who was beside him, naturally knew what he was thinking, so he approached and whispered: "I did hear the news that the entire business was almost wiped out, and more than 300 people were killed. If it was a traitor, the price would be too high, and Shang Qian's despaired mood would definitely not be able to pretend."

"Yeah, I understand."

Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Businesses used to be famous, so I believe that friends in the business world must be spread all over the world, right?"

Shang Qian was stunned: "Well, that's true. The marshal asked this... what does it mean?"

"I mean..." Lin Muyu spread his hands and said, "I want to hand over the business lifeline of the three southern provinces to Miss Shang Qian to manage. All the business in clothing, food, housing, etc. will be provided to you by the government channels. You must revitalize the Black Stone Empire's economy as soon as possible. I wonder if Miss Shang Qian is willing?"

"Ah?" Shang Qian was obviously very surprised: "I...I'm afraid..."

"how?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I'm just afraid that I'm not capable enough." Shang Qian lowered her head and murmured: "What's more, why should the marshal trust me, a woman who has betrayed you?"

"That's because of their own masters, not as betrayal. Now, Miss Shang Qian is willing to accept my invitation and be the first person in the Shang League in Tianji?"

"I...I do." Shang Qian looked at him with bright eyes and said, "It's just that the territory of the Black Stone Empire has always been rampant. They look down on merchants and even more despised the business of the Shang Alliance. Therefore, the Shang Alliance rarely interacts with the people of the Black Stone Empire because they do not pay attention to rules. Since the Marshal and Your Highness trust Shang Qian, they must first agree to the little woman with a condition."

"you say."

"Amended a commercial law to protect the interests of the merchant alliance. Only in this way can we fundamentally change the current situation of the three major southern provinces and the public's views on the merchant alliance."

"No problem." Lin Muyu nodded, and Qin Yin on the side also smiled: "People from Congress will discuss the formulation of this commercial law with the lady in the future."

Shang Qian's eyes were filled with tears and she bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Marshal, for giving me the opportunity to revive the Shang family alliance!"
