After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Murong Xiao looked at his actions and sneered.

"I really don't know what you are hiding for."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Zhiming coughed violently.

The servant beside him quickly took out the medicine box from his arms and handed it to him.

After taking two pills, Ling Zhiming's coughing stopped.

"You know your health is not good but you still try to be brave and come to Kyoto." Murong Xiao crossed his arms and frowned slightly.

Ling Zhiming waved his hand, "Nothing, just an old problem."

His body is now in ruins due to the unrestrained and extensive poison testing when he was young.

Murong Xiao's eyes inadvertently swept across his fingers and his breath paused.

"You... gave her the ring?"

Ling Zhiming smiled helplessly, "If not for her, who else can I give it to?"

The ring given to Yunzhu was not a common object, but a symbol of the master's identity as the Valley Master of Baichong Valley.

Murong Xiao disagreed a little, "You gave her the ring without her consent, aren't you afraid that she will blame you if she finds out later?"

"I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. I'm sure she has been resentful of me for a long time..." Ling Zhiming smiled bitterly.

"It's up to you." Murong Xiao said calmly, "Will you go back to the Southern Dynasty next?"

"No, let's go to Jiangnan first." Ling Zhiming said.

"Jiangnan?" Murong Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Why do you suddenly want to go there?

Could it be...

Murong Xiao straightened his expression, "Auntie Le Xiang..."

"Ah."

Ling Zhiming lowered his head, his voice dull.

"Her grave is there, I want to go see her..."

At night, Yuan Guang was on his way home.

He was suddenly promoted to deputy general, and there were a lot of things in the military camp that needed him to take care of. He had just discussed and confirmed the battle plan with General Jiang.

Feeling a little tired, he walked home with heavy steps.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from behind.

"Who is it!" Yuan Guang turned around suddenly.

Then I saw a person standing behind me.

"Lord Zheng." Yuan Guang saw who was coming.

Zheng Ye looked at him with a smile, "Vice General Yuan, why are you coming back so late?"

"Yes, the army is busy with important matters. I wonder what Lord Zheng is doing here so late at night?"

"Deputy General Yuan, I'm here to see you."

"Looking for me?" Yuan Guang was very surprised.

They never had any contact.

Zheng Ye gave a mysterious smile.

"Deputy General Yuan, I have a way to help you become the commander-in-chief. I wonder if you... are interested?"

Yuan Guang frowned.

An hour later, at Zheng's house.

Zheng Ye came to the study room exhausted.

"I'm back." He Mingrong was sitting nearby.

Seeing Zheng Ye’s relaxed expression, he knew that it was done.

"Did Yuan Guang agree?" He Mingrong asked.

"He didn't give a clear nod," Zheng Ye took off his cloak, "but it looks like he's loosened up a bit."

He Mingrong curled the corners of his mouth.

As he expected, although Yuan Guang was promoted by Jiang Ci'an, he was a citizen of the Southern Dynasty after all. It was impossible for him not to be tempted by the huge temptation of Jiang's army.

"Do you think he will really help us kill Jiang Ci'an?" Zheng Ye felt somewhat unsure.

"Master Zheng, there is no one who doesn't want the Jiang family army."

Including himself.

Zheng Ye understood, but he still had a question.

"Since we've already found Yuan Guang, why don't we ask him to tell us Dacheng's battle plan?"

He Mingrong glanced at him.

He finally understood why Prince Agus had been unwilling to seek help from Zheng Ye before. It was really stupid.

"Yuan Guang is now devoted to Da Cheng. Do you think he will obediently hand over the battle plan?"

"Once Jiang Ci'an dies, the Jiang family army will be loyal to their master and will naturally not all listen to Yuan Guang. By then, the Dacheng military camp will be in chaos. Wouldn't it be easier for us to get information?"

After listening to He Mingrong's explanation, Zheng Ye suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is. Lord He is indeed resourceful." Zheng Ye complimented politely.

"In that case, we will wait for Yuan Guang to deal with Jiang Ci'an as soon as possible, and then make arrangements."

He Mingrong just smiled without saying anything, with a cold light in his eyes.

He didn't care when Jiang Ci'an died. It would be best if he died after destroying Bei Xin.

If so, it would really help him a lot...

Two days later.

The Dacheng army set out to the north to attack the Beixin Kingdom.

Emperor Chengren personally led all the officials to the city gate to see off the soldiers.

"Dear soldiers! I hope you will not be afraid of hardships and will fight bravely! The people of Dacheng are waiting for your triumphant return!" Emperor Chengren cheered for the soldiers.

"We will definitely live up to your mission!"

Jiang Ci'an, dressed in armor, stood at the front of the team and spoke in a decisive tone.

"We will definitely live up to our mission!"

"We will definitely live up to our mission!"

"We will definitely live up to our mission!"

The soldiers shouted loudly and their morale was high.

"Woo——"

The horn of battle sounded.

Led by Jiang Ci'an and Yuan Guang, the soldiers marched out of the city in an orderly manner.

Duke Jiang felt heavy-hearted as he looked at Jiang Ci'an's back as he rode on the horse.

Second brother, you must come back safely!

Ning Yilan was walking in the team in military uniform. He turned his head and looked at Lord Ning from afar, only to see that the other party was looking at him with a worried expression.

She gave him a smile.

Don’t worry, father, your daughter will return safely!

All the officials returned to the Xuanzheng Hall with heavy hearts.

"Is there anything important to report today?" Emperor Chengren asked in a deep voice.

At this time, Xiao Yujing stood up and said in a cold voice:

"Father, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the sky yesterday and found that there may be heavy snow this winter."

"In order to prevent snowstorms, I ask you to prepare for disasters in advance."

"Blizzard?" Emperor Chengren was a little surprised.

In all these years since Dacheng was founded, there has never been a snowstorm.

"Yes." Xiao Yujing responded, "Not only Kyoto, but also the surrounding towns are within the observation range of this blizzard."

"Then what defensive measures do you have?" asked Emperor Chengren.

"I plan to reinforce the houses of the people in the area under my jurisdiction and make sufficient preparations for coal and food. I also need to strengthen patrols by officers and soldiers so that the snow can be cleared in time after it snows to minimize the impact of the disaster." Xiao Yujing said one sentence at a time.

As soon as the words were spoken, an official stood up to refute.

"Your Majesty, this method may not be appropriate. According to the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the national treasury will take out a lot of silver to resist the disaster, but now we are about to go to war with Beixin, and the front line must not be cut off from food and grass..."

What the official said was not wrong. It was unknown how long this battle with the Northern Xin Kingdom would last, so sufficient food and grass must be ensured.

But if it is true as the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said, there will be a heavy snowstorm this winter, and if we don't take precautions in advance, the losses to the people will be very serious.

Emperor Chengren fell into deep thought.

"Father, I will take on some of the responsibility for preventing the snowstorm this time, but... it's just a drop in the bucket for disaster relief."

"So I hope that you can voluntarily donate some silver to be used for snow disaster prevention."
