The eighth year of Jingping, the sixth day of the third month, very auspicious.

A tall city wall, four meters high, stretching from Wushan in the east to Longshan in the west, rose from the ground on the border of the Great Zhou.

The tower in the center is even more majestic and towering, reaching into the sky.

Thousands of people stood in front of the city gate, led by Emperor Zhou Min of the Great Zhou, followed by hundreds of court officials and local officials.

On top of the city wall, the Qilin flag with a black background and gold edges fluttered in the wind, and a huge Qin flag stood in the center.

When the auspicious time arrived, a dull sound suddenly came from under the city gate, like thunder rolling across the sky.

Following the sound, the heavy city gate slowly opened.

The city gate is neither a traditional two-door wooden gate nor a drawbridge-style gate.

The two city gates were in the shape of huge teeth, tightly fitting together.

As the pulley at the bottom of the city gate slowly moved, the gates that were locked together gradually disappeared into the city walls on both sides.

Through the deep doorway, the city gates opened one after another.

Until the last city gate opened, a wide and flat street appeared in front of everyone.

The BMW in front of the royal carriage slowly and gracefully took steps forward.

As the imperial carriage moved, the guards around him also rode forward.

Thousands of people outside the city gate slowly flowed into the open city gate like a huge torrent.

The construction of this city required a total of 300,000 laborers from the Zhou Kingdom and the Northern Yi, and it took five and a half years to complete.

It can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people living here.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Tatuo City.

Zhou Min saw Qin Shu standing there from afar, her face as white as jade and her figure more beautiful than flowers.

She has a petite and slim figure, and the red dragon robe she wears gives her a different charm.

As the imperial carriage approached, Qin Shu led everyone to kneel down, "Your Majesty, Qin Shu, respectfully welcomes His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zhou Min got off the imperial carriage, took a few steps forward, and personally helped Qin Shu up, "My dear, please don't be polite."

Qin Shu bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At the same time, on the other side, the Northern Yi king Feng Ying also strode over with his court officials.

Feng Ying walked closer, crossed his hands, bowed, and saluted Zhou Min solemnly.

Zhou Min also returned the gift.

The two had signed a contract before, and on the day when the city of Jieta was opened, the monarchs of the two countries swore an oath of blood.

From then on, Tatuo City officially became a place for trade between the two countries.

After the oath of alliance, the monarchs of the two countries and the lord of Tatuo City held a state banquet.

This was the first time Qin Shufang met His Royal Highness King Changrong of the Northern Yi Kingdom.

King Changrong was enthroned as the Crown Prince of Beiyi just a year ago.

Qin Shu still remembered that once when she caught a Northern Yi spy, the Northern Yi spy asked her if she knew "witchcraft".

He also asked her if her last name was Liu.

At that time, Qin Shu subconsciously thought that Liu Weiran might have had contact with the Northern Barbarians in his previous life and exposed the secret of the spiritual spring.

Liu Weiran was able to be reborn with his memories, so others might be able to do the same.

At that time, it was also the first time that she heard the title "King Evergreen" from the Northern Barbarians' spies.

And King Changrong once cooperated with King Ning.

When Prince Changrong sat opposite Qin Shu and smiled at her, Qin Shu felt dazed, as if she saw her father when he was young.

At the following banquet, Qin Shu seemed a little absent-minded.

Fu Ying, who was sitting next to him, quickly felt it, leaned over slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qin Shu shook her head gently, "No."

But I do feel some chest tightness and dizziness.

Qin Shu looked at Zhou Min and Feng Ying who were happily chatting at the top, and quietly stood up, "I'm going to change clothes."

Fu Ying nodded slightly, signaling Qingsang and Qingliu to follow quickly.

Qin Shu took a few steps back, left the main hall from the corner, and walked along the corridor to the backyard.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and a young man's clear voice said, "City Lord Qin, please stay."

Qin Shu turned around and saw His Royal Highness King Changrong of Beiyi striding towards her.

After approaching, he bowed and saluted, "City Lord Qin."

Qin Shu quickly returned the greeting, "Your Highness Prince Changrong."

King Changrong smiled and said, "I heard that City Lord Qin is from Jinzhou, Great Zhou?"

Qin Shu nodded slightly, "That's right."

"I once sent Guanthrope to Jincheng in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Guanthrope came back, he said that his identity was discovered by a girl named Qin."

King Changrong looked at Qin Shu and saw that she looked calm and unperturbed, so he smiled and said, "Crown Thrush is a specially trained secret guard. Ordinary hypnosis can do nothing to him."

"But he said that in front of Miss Qin, it was as if his soul was guided by God's will, and he chose to obey involuntarily."

King Changrong stopped and looked at Qin Shu, "That Miss Qin must be City Lord Qin?"

Qin Shu had no choice but to stop and said with a smile: "That's right."

Without waiting for King Changrong to say anything, Qin Shu continued, "However, this city lord is not as amazing as your subordinate said. At that time, this city lord did use some tricks on your subordinate in order to get the answer he wanted."

"The things were provided by our Majesty. Why don't King Changrong ask our Majesty himself what they are?"

King Changrong was startled for a moment, then smiled again, "Since City Lord Qin said so, I am being rude."

Qin Shu bowed slightly, "Your Highness Prince Changrong, do you have any other questions?"

King Changrong stepped back half a step and said, "No more, please, Lord City Lord."

Qin Shu bowed again and took Qingsang back to the backyard.

Based on the words that King Changrong used to test her, and the question from the secret guard named "Crown Thrush" about whether her surname was Liu, Qin Shu could roughly determine:

Perhaps this King Evergreen is also a man with stories and experiences.

Now, the only one in the world who knows her secret is Fu Rong.

She didn't want to create any more complications and add new troubles.

My parents have passed away for many years, and all the secrets have gone underground with them.

This is already the best result.

Some truths, whether you know them or not, are no longer important.

In the backyard, five-year-old Chun Ge'er was sitting on the floor covered with a thick blanket, pouting his little mouth as he fiddled with his gadgets.

Because he was so focused, he didn't even notice his mother approaching.

When the wet nurse Wen saw Qin Shu come in, she hurried forward and knelt down to greet her.

Qin Shu signaled her not to disturb her and tiptoed to the inner room.

On the couch in the inner room, my one and a half year old daughter, Tian Jie'er, was sleeping soundly with her little fist raised.

Qin Shu sat gently beside the couch, looking at her daughter's tender little face with satisfaction.

Now she has a husband who loves, protects and respects her, and smart and lovely children.

He has such a huge family business and loyal servants to protect him.

After the oath of oath, Zhou Min ordered someone to read out the decree to confer the title of "King of Ruian" on her.

As a woman, she was named the first female king of a different surname in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If her parents were still alive in heaven, I believe they would be proud of her, right?

Life is like this, and it is enough!
