Thinking of this, he strode into the palace.

"Your Majesty, since the Xie family has no objection, I think the marriage should not be delayed any longer. If the news of the alliance between the Great Zhou and Dongyue spreads to the Southern Kingdom, it may cause a surprise attack from them."

"Prince Tuoba is right. I think so too."

Murong Yan also hoped that the marriage between the two countries would be concluded soon, so that Prince Tuoba and the Xie family would focus more on the campaign to the south.

No matter what, this battle must be won!

The two hit it off immediately, and the emperor immediately ordered people to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and drafted a marriage plan. Fifteen days later, Yun Zhihan was allowed to leave Shangjing and head for Dongyue.

The imperial edict soon reached Xie's residence.

"Congratulations to the county lady on her wedding." Xiao Chunzi complimented.

"Thank you, Eunuch Chun. After I leave, the Xie family will still trouble His Majesty and Eunuch."

"You are too polite, County Lady. This is what we should do."

After returning, Yun Zhihan began to prepare to pack.

Yunyan brought over some of the silver she had saved.

"Aunt, you are getting married. Yan'er doesn't have much dowry to show for herself. This money is what I have saved for many years. Just consider it as a gift to you. I hope you don't mind it."

Yun Zhihan was deeply moved, and touched Yan'er's head and said, "Yan'er, you are so thoughtful. You can keep this money for yourself. It will be useful in case of any urgent matters in the future."

Besides, what she lacks least now is money.

"But..." Yunyan didn't have anything to give you.

"Yan'er, auntie hopes that you will be happy and free in the future. I'll leave Bai Jin to you."

"Yan'er understands."

As soon as she left, good fortune came in.

"Mother, this is the income of the restaurant in the past few months. You can take it all. I heard that Dongyue is not rich. With these banknotes, you may be able to open a few shops and make your life better."

Yun Zhihan wanted to refuse, but Shi Yun spoke first, "Mother, don't refuse. Your daughter-in-law knows that you have money, but don't you always say that the more money, the better."

After saying that, she stuffed the banknote into her hand.

"Well, I'll keep the banknotes, and I'll leave the Xie Mansion to you and your unborn child in the future."

"Ah."

Shi Yun wanted to kneel down and kowtow to his master, but was helped up by Yun Zhihan. After all, she was already pregnant and she must not disturb the fetus.

"Madam, no matter what your fortune or status, you will always be the master of this servant."

"Silly girl, you are already the mistress of the Xie family, and you are still saying something inappropriate. Be careful not to let the servants laugh at you."

Shi Yun nodded. She knew that this was the last time she would say such words.

Soon, Nanny Wen and Uncle Wen also came over.

"Madam, I have prepared all my things. Is there anything you can help me with?"

Yun Zhihan thought about it and realized that she didn’t have much, mainly just a dowry and banknotes.

The dowry was paid by the royal family, and she kept the banknotes herself. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Oh, and there was also the jade seal and military token of the Dongyue Kingdom. These were great treasures and could not be lost.

"I don't have much here. Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen, go back and have a rest. We'll be leaving in a few days. Take whatever you want to buy."

"Hey!" After hearing this, the two of them went out.

What they are most reluctant to part with are the masters of the Xie family.

The children of the Xie family were very kind to them and never treated them as slaves. Instead, they got along with them like family members. They really couldn't bear to see him leave so suddenly.

On the other side, He Bayue asked Jin Shang to meet him in the backyard where there was no one around.

"What does Ah Yue want me to do? I still have to help my wife pack her things."

He Bayue knew that she was anxious, and he was anxious too, but he just couldn't say anything. He scratched his head and snapped his fingers, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Jinshang lost his patience and asked helplessly, "What exactly do you want to say, Ah Yue? If you don't say it, I'll leave."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. He Bayue suddenly became anxious and pulled her back.

"Um...wait a minute! When we get to Dongyue, I'll marry you. Are you willing to marry me? This is the deed to my land in Dongyue. I'll give it to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Shang felt as if he had been hit by a bolt of lightning. Why did this man speak without any incoherent words? He started off with a storm, just like his master.

"W-what did you say?"

"Why? You don't want to marry me? What's wrong with me? I am also going to fight in the battlefield and make military achievements. Then I will surely bring honor to our family and make you famous."

He Bayue showed off himself with a proud look on his face.

"No, that's not what I meant." Jin Shang blushed and she didn't know what to say.

For a moment, the two fell into silence.

He Bayue was impatient, and he couldn't wait any longer. "So are you willing or not? Give me a definite answer..."

His voice became smaller and smaller. He was very confident at the beginning, but became much more timid later on. It was his first time pursuing a girl, and he had no experience.

Even this was learned from Prince Tuoba. The prince taught him how to coax a girl, but he forgot it when he was in a hurry, so he just expressed it directly, and it was up to the other party to say whether it would work or not.

Jin Shang lowered her head and nodded shyly.

Seeing this, He Bayue smiled happily, "That's it, I will marry you after the battle against the south is over. If I unfortunately die in the battle, you have other choices."

"Don't talk nonsense! You won't die!" Jin Shang didn't want to be a widow. Her wife had suffered enough, she didn't want that.

"Don't worry, I will return safely." No one can predict what will happen in war, and he didn't get married before going to war in order to give her more choices.

After both parties agreed, Jinshang was looking forward to going to Dongyue even more, as her family would have one more member.

……

The Xie family was preparing for the marriage, but Bo Chen was busy recruiting and training soldiers.

It took him only ten days to recruit a large number of soldiers. Especially after Yun Zhihan's marriage was announced to the world, many people came from all corners of the world to join him.

Xie Bochen asked each of them to write a resume, and then compiled them and gave them to Bai Jin for screening.

"Second sister, there are thousands of resumes here. They are all from educated people, and some of them have never touched a weapon. In the past, the Ministry of War would definitely not accept them, but since you said so, I'll bring them all here."

"How many thousands?" Bai Jin looked at the thick stack of resumes and thought that he would have no sleep today.

She turned to look at Yunyan, "Can you read?"

Yunyan nodded, "I can read. I read some scriptures when I was very young. After I came to the Xie family, you and your cousin also taught me a little."

"Great, we'll each take half and screen out all the dandy young men from aristocratic families and those who used to be government servants."

"it is good."

"Second sister, when will all these resumes be screened?" Bai Chen was anxious.

"Give us two days, and those whose resumes remain will be the ones to be selected."

"Okay." After saying that, Bai Chen hurried back to the army.
