I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Master, there's a fight going on in Crescent City."

Lin Changshou looked at Lin Yiran excitedly.

Ever since he sent out the three letters, he has had people closely monitoring the situation in Crescent City over the past two days.

All the soldiers of Xinyue City were stationed outside the city, only 20 kilometers away from Shuitian City.

The enemy is stationed so close to make it convenient for them to launch an attack on Shuitian City at any time.

This also made it convenient for him to send people to monitor.

The people he sent out were equipped with binoculars, so they could see the enemy's situation from a distance and retreat in time when the enemy discovered them.

"A fight broke out?" Lin Yiran's eyes lit up, she put down her chopsticks and pointed to the empty seat next to her.

"Sit down and talk while we eat."

It is now time for dinner. Looking at Lin Changshou's cold appearance, he must not have had dinner yet.

It just so happened that she was having a hotpot meal with her elder brother and his wife tonight, and there was plenty of food.

Wan Suyun quickly poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Xiao Yunhao, motioning him to pass it to Lin Changshou.

Xiao Yunhao didn't expect the letter to be so effective. He smiled and took the ginger tea handed to him by his wife, urging her to

"Hurry up and sit down. Drink some ginger tea to get rid of the cold."

As he spoke, Xiao Yunhao handed the ginger tea in his hand to Lin Changshou.

He knew that all the members of the Lin family army followed Lin Yiran into the Lin family tree.

Then he couldn't treat Lin Changshou as an ordinary subordinate, but had to treat Lin Changshou as the relative of his fourth brother's wife.

As far as he knew, there were many people in the Heavenly God Army who had followed his fourth brother and his wife at about the same time as Lin Changshou.

When those people knew that the Lin family army was included in Lin Yiran's family tree, they cried with envy.

We are all refugees, so why is there such a big difference? They regretted that they were not smarter and just went with the flow, and did not know how to share more of the burden with the generals, thus missing a great opportunity.

Of course, there were also many people who spoke harshly to Lin Changshou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Lin Changshou smiled, stretched out his hands to catch the ginger tea, and drank it in one gulp.

Shang Lu, who was standing by, quickly took a set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the empty seat.

After Lin Changshou expressed his gratitude again, he sat down happily.

Lin Yiran smiled and scooped a large spoonful of meat for Lin Changshou, which suddenly got stuck in his bowl.

"We eat and talk..."

The enemy has started fighting, and it probably won't stop for a while.

"Thank you, master~" Lin Changshou held the bowl with both hands, picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth under the gaze of Lin Yiran and others.

He was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to chew the meat carefully. The meat swung around in his mouth twice before going down his intestines.

After Lin Changshou swallowed a mouthful of meat, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile,

"A group of soldiers surrounded General Shi's tent and shot it into a hedgehog."

"The people guarding outside the tent should be the Wu Ma family's death warriors. More than half of them were shot to death by the rain of arrows, and the rest are unlikely to survive."

With dense swarms of archers surrounding Shi Qiang's tent and shooting at him, it would be strange if he could be left alive.

Even if all the arrows were shot, so many people could hold down those few assassins and beat them to death.

The clothes worn by the Wu Ma family's assassins are different from those worn by the soldiers in the military camp. They can be recognized at a glance, very obviously.

As for why we could recognize it as General Shi’s tent, it was because there was a big flag with the word “Shi” on it flying above the tent.

Lin Yiran raised an eyebrow, "The Wu Ma family actually sided with General Shi!"

It was obvious that the two of them joined forces to suppress General Cong, but were killed by General Cong in the end.

She didn't expect that the people of the Wu Ma family were so stupid.

She sent those letters just to sow discord between General Cong and General Shi.

These two people have always been at odds with each other, and they would start fighting at the slightest sign of it.

Originally, she was worried that someone from the Wu Ma family would act as a peacemaker. It would probably be difficult for these two people to fight openly, but they would definitely trip each other up in secret.

Then Shi Qiang had someone in the imperial city, so he sent a letter back to sue General Cong, asking the empress to issue an order to force General Cong to...

In this way, it will take some time to make General Cong alienate himself from the Western Liang Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the result was so much better than she expected.

The old patriarch of the Wu Ma family and Shi Qiang are talented people.

Xiao Yunhao was also quite shocked. "The death of Wu Ma Chaofu has thrown the Wu Ma family into disarray."

At that time, he asked his fourth brother's wife to briefly mention it in the letter, such as drugs and group annihilation, in order to confuse the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family.

He didn't expect that the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family actually believed it.

"Yes." Lin Changshou nodded and continued with a little doubt.

"But General Cong killed the Wu Ma family and General Shi without any concealment. Is he preparing for a rebellion?"

"Will General Cong rebel?"

Lin Yiran frowned and looked at Xiao Yunhao.

She didn't know General Cong very well. If this man really rebelled, wouldn't he have to fight them to the death?

This is not what she wants.

Xiao Yunhao frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"He won't rebel."

"He would rather take the New Moon City with his army than rebel in the Imperial City."

"As far as I know, almost all the families of the soldiers under General Cong are in Xinyue City."

"In the beginning, those soldiers came from all over Xiliang Country, but they had been guarding the border for more than ten years. During this period, the soldiers' families gradually moved to Xinyue City."

"There are also many new recruits who marry and have children directly in Crescent City."

"General Cong has no father, no mother, no wife, and no children. He treats the soldiers under his command as his own sons. It is impossible for him to take them to die."

"And Cong Chongqiu doesn't have this ambition at all."

Xiao Yunhao thought carefully about Cong Chongqiu's character, and felt more and more that it was impossible for him to take risks with his soldiers.

Cong Chongqiu was able to rise up in resistance and kill the people of the Wu Ma family and Shi Qiang, probably because these two people forced him into a corner.

Unable to bear it any longer, Cong Chongqiu simply got rid of the two bad guys.

However, he felt that Cong Chongqiu might join forces with him.

As long as he promised that the Heavenly God Army would never hurt anyone when passing through Xinyue City, and that Xinyue City would be handed over to Cong Chongqiu for management, then this matter could still be negotiated.

Lin Yiran scooped a spoonful of meat for Lin Changshou, signaling him to eat quickly with her eyes, and said,

"General Cong is interested in Xinyue City, so it will be easy to deal with."

If there is no weakness at all, then there is really nothing we can do but force it.

The soldiers under Cong Chongqiu were all extremely loyal, so a fierce battle with rivers of blood was inevitable.

If Cong Chongqiu could be persuaded directly, this fierce battle could be avoided.

If other armies killed their generals, the soldiers would become scattered and would soon surrender.

But the soldiers under Cong Chongqiu were different. In their eyes, Cong Chongqiu was like their own father. How could they expect those soldiers to surrender after killing their own father?

Xiao Yunhao and Lin Yiran looked at each other and smiled knowingly...
