Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Jointly supervise the country? Do you think the situation is not bad enough? The emperor really knows how to play.

Shen Yao murmured in her heart, expressing her surprise at the news sent by Madam Liu.

Liu Jingyan also frowned, "As everyone knows, the emperor's princes have always had a bad relationship. How can they jointly supervise the country?" It's more like they are trying to trip each other up.

They are the kind of people who wish their brothers would all die out and they would be the only ones left to inherit the throne.

Madam Liu spread her hands helplessly and said, "Anyway, the emperor has arranged it this way." As for whether the princes mentioned can do a good job of jointly regulating the country, that depends on whether their skills are good enough.

Judging from Madam Liu's many years of experience in the harem, Luojing will sooner or later be in chaos. If the emperor returns early, the problem may be under control. However, if the emperor returns late or something happens to him, it is hard to say.

The three of them looked at each other, tacitly ending the topic and not continuing.

After a night's rest, the convoy got up early the next day and headed straight for the nearest town.

Liu Jingyan hired two different escort companies, and their destination was only one, which was Yingchuan.

After simply buying some supplies in the town, the convoy hurried on their journey, and as a result, their expenses for this trip would be much overspent.

"As long as we can arrive in Yingchuan safely, everything else is acceptable."

Madam Liu was in charge of the accounts. She looked at the daily reduction in supplies and money and made various calculations to save money.

When getting off the car to eat on weekdays, Mrs. Liu always finds Shen Yao to complain. She doesn't want to hear what Shen Yao has to say, she just wants to chat.

"This place is less than half a month away from Yingchuan." Arriving in Yingchuan is finally a reward after all the hard work.

"Yeah, just half a month." They had been able to endure sleeping in the open air before, so there was no reason for them to feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied at this time.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished talking, they smiled at each other and then went about their own business.

…………

The convoy moved forward, and with the addition of fresh blood, Liu Jingyan no longer had to work as hard as before.

Whether it is day or night, they have no shortage of people around them who can protect them.

But despite such strict defense, when the convoy entered Hengzhou and was only one city away from Yingchuan, it was once again attacked from outside.

Shen Yao remembered that it was the night time and the whole camp was very quiet.

Shen Yao was lying on the bed with her two children, Qing Shui was sleeping on the couch, and there was a piece of defensive talisman paper on each side of the door.

The talisman paper flickered, and the light it emitted woke up Shen Yao, who was not yet asleep.

She subconsciously protected the two children around her, then woke up Qingshui and asked about the situation outside.

Unfortunately, Qingshui was just an ordinary person, and his sensitivity was far less than Shen Yao's. He fell unconscious before he even walked out of the tent.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao had to go downstairs by herself, and she did not forget to stick talismans all over the child's body before leaving.

She ran to the door barefoot and saw that the camp was silent. The moon above her head had been completely covered at some point, and she could not see it at all with her mortal eyes.

Tu

Shen Yao scratched his head, thinking over and over again, he couldn't wait any longer. He didn't know what the strange thing was this time, and if he delayed it for too long, it would be disadvantageous for them.

His expression changed, and suddenly a string of palm-sized golden bells appeared in Shen Yao's hand.

There is a swastika engraved on the surface of the bell, and the bottom is tied with a red rope, with a string of copper coins tied to the end.

Jingle Bell--

When the soul-calling bell rang, the sound spread throughout the entire camp, like layers of water waves, sweeping away the picture before your eyes.

Shen Yao kept shaking at a constant frequency. The sound of the bell was pleasant and had a hint of Buddhist charm, which made the entire camp come alive again.

The people trapped in the illusion woke up in time and took the opportunity to get rid of the strange constraints.

Soon, Liu Jingyan ran back to the room to check on the situation of Shen Yao and her two children.

"Ayan, we are fine," Shen Yao got up, the corners of his lips were pale and his face was bloodless.

Liu Jingyan put his arm around Shen Yao and patted her back to comfort her.

"It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened. A monster that is good at setting up illusions just came," Liu Jingyan was dragged into it before he could notice.

The illusion was full of dangers and out of control. If it weren't for the sudden sound of the bell, Liu Jingyan would have been trapped.

"Stay here and don't move. Wait for me to check on the others."

Fearing that danger would come again, Liu Jingyan gave Shen Yao some defensive measures before leaving, and asked the Liu family servants to guard outside the door, so that he had the mood to pay attention to the situation in the camp.

Madam Liu had confirmed that everything was safe early in the morning; now Shen Yao was also safe, and the two heaviest stones on his heart fell to the ground. Liu Jingyan handled the matter with ease, and the two groups of bodyguards hired by him were convinced.

"Mr. Liu, it's dangerous out in the wild. I suggest you spend the night in the city."

This time someone rescued them and they were lucky, but what about next time?

In the wilderness, you can't always pin your hopes on others.

In the past, when escorting goods, they would never choose such a long route.

It was also because he was greedy for the reward this time, otherwise the two escort agencies would not agree to anything. Yingchuan is still too far away.

"I understand what Captain Lu said. Don't worry, we will leave early tomorrow morning.

In the future, I will try to stay overnight in places close to towns.”

Not only the escorts were afraid, but Liu Jingyan was also panicked.

If such a monster with a lower level but able to find another way and almost wipe them out appeared again, Liu Jingyan was not sure whether he could wake up in time.

After all, it was the ringtone that provided help, but he didn't know who it was. He couldn't even find anyone to thank.

Because of the sudden attack by the weird, the whole camp was brightly lit. No matter whether it was Madam Liu and other women in the backyard, or the attendants and bodyguards responsible for security, they all kept their eyes open until dawn.

Shen Yao stayed in the room the whole time. After waking up Qingshui who had fainted, she and the wet nurses coaxed the two children who were forced to wake up.

At dawn the next day, the convoy left without even having time for breakfast.

"Once we enter Hengzhou, we'll take a good rest for two days," Mrs. Liu yawned as she spoke, with purple circles under her eyes.

As a witness to last night's events, Mrs. Liu has regained her earlier composure.

But I still feel scared, just like now, no matter how sleepy I am, I won't close my eyes unless the convoy enters the city.

Shen Yao held the baby who had just fallen asleep in her arms and gently rocked the baby into the cradle.

The cradle was covered with soft brocade and padded with a thick layer of cotton to prevent the two children from feeling uncomfortable and having their sleep affected.

Adults can tolerate it, but it is very harmful to the health of children.

"I heard that Hengzhou is rich in resources," they could stroll around Hengzhou City and there would still be enough time.

Madam Liu hummed and whispered, "Hengzhou was originally the capital of the previous dynasty.

When the late emperor founded the country, he was worried about the instability of the border, so he set up the capital in Luojing."

Luojing is a plain area, not close to the border but without any obstacles.

The former emperor of Wei State had no flaws in both his civil and military skills. After he started his army, he swept across the surrounding countries, large and small, and directly unified half of the human cities.

If the Wei State had not been newly established and needed to recuperate and was unable to continue fighting, it is possible that the human race would have completed internal unification and united against external enemies by now.

However, as the State of Wei developed to this day, it had long lost the sharpness it had at its founding and no longer had a unified mindset.

To put it bluntly, Wei State should be thankful that it is not in internal turmoil, as the surrounding small countries are much more stable than Wei State.

"I once learned from a book that Hengzhou is rich in minerals, and the people of Hengzhou made their fortune from mining."

Shen Yao raised her fingers and mentioned the benefits that the rich mineral resources would bring. It was a pity that the mineral resources in Hengzhou were decreasing year by year and were about to be exhausted, which was a great loss for Wei State.

"I didn't know that Hengzhou's mineral resources have reached such a state. However, this has nothing to do with us women. It should be something for the men to worry about," Mrs. Liu waved her hand calmly, not taking this information to heart at all.

Shen Yao smiled slightly, but it was fleeting. She thought to herself, this has nothing to do with them. It is a mineral, a necessity for forging weapons.

Although there are no soldiers in the Liu family, they have quite a few personal servants.

A sharp weapon can not only give you the upper hand in a fight, but also save your life in certain situations.

Shen Yao looked forward, as if looking at Liu Jingyan through a fallen curtain.

Liu Jingyan, who was riding on a horse, seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look back.

"Young master, Hengzhou City is ahead," the attendant who went to explore the way came back to report, and mentioned that there were traces of bandits on the road. In order to avoid conflict, they'd better hurry through.

"Tell the people ahead to speed up and get into the city before noon."

Liu Jingyan waved his hand and said sternly.

The attendant lowered his head and replied "yes", then turned and ran to the front to inform the convoy of the latest instructions.

As the main person in charge of external communications for the team, Liu Jingyan's words carry a lot of weight.

As soon as he finished speaking, the speed of the entire convoy increased.

Shen Yao could clearly feel the convoy speeding up below her. She supported her side with one hand and let Qingshui come in to put away the cakes and drinks on the table.

After Qingshui finished his work, he saw that his master looked unhappy, so he hurriedly asked whether he should ask the driver to slow down.

"There's no need to do that. The sooner we get into the city, the sooner we can feel at ease." The longer they spend on the road, the more risk they will have to bear.

Although Shen Yao has means to resist the weirdness, Liu Jingyan will sooner or later suspect her because she needs help every time.

Shen Yao just wants to be an indifferent fish and doesn't want to cause trouble.

Shen Yao stopped Qingshui's action with great righteousness and patted his chest. "I will go to the city to buy some daily necessities later. We will also replenish what we lack here."

Sure enough, Shen Yao's words greatly diverted Qingshui's attention.

He nodded with a smile, and made a mental note of what he needed to make up for this trip, then Qingshui turned and left the carriage.

As for the carriage being too fast? Come on, it's not like I haven't ridden it before. Besides, the road leading to Hengzhou is smooth and is a well-used official road. There is no such thing as it being too bumpy.

The convoy entered Hengzhou before noon.

The Liu family has no property in Hengzhou, but that doesn’t mean they can’t spend money to buy one.

Liu Jingyan once again demonstrated to Shen Yao the meaning of the saying "money makes the world go round".

In just half a day, they moved from the inn in the city to a luxurious three-story mansion in the east of the city.

This is because Liu Jingyan is too anxious, and other better properties in Hengzhou are selling too slowly, so he can only make do with it temporarily.

Shen Yao:......

This is really eye-opening. Is this the life of the rich? Buying a house is just like buying steamed buns, without blinking an eye.

Shen Yao stood in the yard directing Qingshui and others to pack their luggage. The two children were handed over to the wet nurse and were staying in the room drinking milk.

"Yao Yao"

"Ayan"

Shen Yao turned around and looked at Liu Jingyan who walked in. He looked cold, and it was obvious that he had not rested.

"Your hands are so cold? Why don't you come into the house?" Liu Jingyan felt sorry for Shen Yao. In his eyes, his wife was just an ordinary woman who was weak and beautiful. He had to protect her from the wind and rain to prevent this delicate flower from withering.

Shen Yao, who is only a delicate flower in appearance, but a queen of flowers in reality: ...

"Ayan just came back, is there anything going on with the prefect?" When they first arrived at a place, they would visit the local top leader, and they could not be rude even if it was just a formality.

"The prefect hasn't been to the capital for a long time, so he was in a good mood and talked more about the situation in Luojing."

After Liu Jingyan finished speaking, he pulled Shen Yao into the house and said, "When you go out these days, ask the servants in the mansion to accompany you.

I have discussed with my mother and will hire another group of escorts from Hengzhou."

The originally scheduled escort will not be dismissed, since the Liu family doesn't lack the money anyway.

"Is the road to Yingchuan not safe?" Otherwise, why would they hire a bodyguard.

"The prefect said that there is a group of bandits who like to roam around and commit crimes recently, and they have not yet been arrested."

The importance of Liu Jingyan and his group is self-evident, and we must be on guard against them.

"In that case, I'm afraid mother will be anxious." He already had trouble sleeping, and with the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, he was even more exhausted.

Liu Jingyan pursed his lips and asked Shen Yao to spend more time with Madam Liu when she was free.

He will visit the prefectural government in the next few days and discuss a business deal.

"Ayan, go and do your own thing, and leave the house to me," she will arrange everything and provide the corresponding logistical support.

As the saying goes, when a husband and wife work together, work becomes less tiring.

Shen Yao took care of everything in the mansion just as she promised, allowing Liu Jingyan to deal with things outside with peace of mind.

As for Liu Jingyan, carrying his grandfather's instructions, he and the old fox prefect tested each other's bottom line, and finally reached a cooperation within the scope acceptable to both parties.

Among them are Hengzhou's specialty minerals.

No one is not jealous of these minerals, and no one does not like to arm themselves.

Liu Jingyan came back to Yingchuan this time to seek refuge, and also to leave a way out for the Liu family.

Liu Xiuwen had a premonition that Weiguo would not be peaceful in the future, and their Liu family could not keep hiding in Luojing and waiting passively. Liu Jingyan was a living chess piece played by Liu Xiuwen, and he was bound to stir up trouble for the entire Liu family.

Liu Jingyan did not let Liu Xiuwen down. He behaved very steadily along the way, even exceeding Liu Xiuwen's expectations.

In Luojing City, Liu Xiuwen received a letter and first wrote a reply. Then he asked someone to call Liu Jingsheng. As the actual rulers of the Liu Mansion, the grandfather and grandson were discussing the matters to be done after Liu Xiuwen left Beijing.

"Keep a low profile, don't take sides, and don't get close to a certain prince."

After much calculation in his mind, Liu Xiuwen still felt that the timing was wrong for the emperor to lead the army in person.

As an accompanying person, he could breathe a sigh of relief if the emperor was safe. However, if anything bad happened to the emperor, the Liu family might face a devastating disaster.
