Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Absolutely impossible.

It took Zhang Jingxian five days to travel from Changling to Ba County, but it only took her three days to return to Changling.

Yu, Wei and others were even slower than her and followed behind her.

The moment the colt saw the Changling city gate, its body shook slightly. It had been running wildly for three days and was very tired and excited.

But the human woman on its back hesitated at the city gate, as if she was hesitating, or trying to calm her panic and fear, wondering what if she got bad news.

However, a person who makes up his mind to stick to it is never lacking in courage. Zhang Jingxian can move forward unwaveringly towards the goal of leaving Xie Yun, and she can also move towards him without hesitation in order to gain Madam Jun's "power".

She is neither timid nor cowardly.

After taking a deep breath, the human woman riding the maroon horse finally took action.

Because of the war, Changling City was on full alert. Soldiers in sharp armor were guarding the city gates on both sides, and everyone entering and leaving had to undergo their strict inspection.

Zhang Jingxian walked silently towards the city gate and joined the team entering the city. When it was her turn to be inspected by the soldiers, she was about to dismount when several people around her looked at each other and respectfully invited her into the city.

"How dare we stop you, Madam? The gates of Changling City are always open to you."

They knew Zhang Jingxian. Yes, she often walked around the city, and for a period of time she even liked to go out of the city to the nearby county villages. Even the appearance of the foal under her was clearly remembered in their minds.

Before Zhang Jingxian could say anything, she heard the sound of many people talking.

"It's the envoy's wife."

"Quick, make way and let Madam go in first."

"Madam, you must be in such a hurry because of something important."

A group of people stood on both sides of the road in tacit understanding, looking up at the woman on horseback with eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

No one cared that the Envoy's wife was a woman of commoner origin. They only knew that in the past six months, their lives had become much better because of the Envoy's wife's arrival.

Those oppressed by village elders and village heads regained their land; no one froze to death in the cold winter, the poor received wheat, and the lonely and widowed received warmth; after the heavy snow, the collapsed houses were promptly repaired by craftsmen, and those who cleared the snow had steaming hot broth to drink...

At this moment, they willingly made way for her, caring about her concern and worrying about her anxiety.

Zhang Jingxian stared blankly at the unobstructed road ahead, paused, bowed to everyone around her, and rode away on horseback.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and soon a light rain began to fall. However, the fine raindrops scattered diagonally before they landed on the woman's dress. Because she was moving so fast, the wind she created was enough to wash away the rain.

When we arrived at the door of the familiar mansion, the rain was still falling.

She stopped, wiped the water droplets from her forehead with the back of her hand, and got off the horse.

When Xie saw her, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He and Tinglan and others who came over later thought that she would never come back here in this life. They knew better than anyone how the previous wedding came about.

In charge of the internal affairs of this mansion, they also witnessed the entanglement between the envoy and his wife. From beginning to end, one person was cold and the other was warm, without exception.

"Where is he?" Zhang Jingxian didn't care about the surprise and astonishment of others, and hurried towards the mansion, searching for the tall and gloomy figure without blinking.

Even though she knew in her heart that he was not in the mansion at all, she still wanted to ask.

"Madam, one day after you left, Alang and Mr. Gongcheng led their army to the Huai River, and there has been no news since then." Xie was silent for a moment, and then said that many affairs of Changling City were temporarily managed by Weng Liangguan and others, and their mansion was almost empty.

Originally, as the most capable soldier beside the envoy, he should have been by his side. However, Xie was left behind to guard an empty mansion. He was puzzled in his heart until today.

Xie's uneasiness got a reasonable explanation. Alangfei no longer trusted him and kept him to wait for his wife to come back!

The tall and brave man was full of energy. After explaining some recent events, he began to ask whether to summon officials in Changling City, such as Weng Liangguan.

"Well, ask them to go to the front hall and wait for the meeting." Zhang Jingxian quickly recalled what happened in her previous life in her mind, walked to her and Xie Yun's dormitory, changed into a clean dress, and picked up a pen and paper.

She couldn't control the decision made by Chao and the Grand Marshal, but no one else could stay out of it at this critical juncture.

The Xie family in Ying County set an example. If the counties and prefectures where aristocratic families were entrenched, such as Nan County, Jing County, Chen County, and Linchuan County, did not want to be criticized by the people, they had to send subordinates.

Not only are there tens of thousands of hereditary servants in their territory, but there are also refugees who do not pay land tax and poll tax. If these people are made to pay the same promises as in their previous lives, the power they can unleash should not be underestimated.

Zhang Jingxian didn't want to explore why Xie Yun didn't recruit soldiers from the nobles this time. She didn't want to offend anyone, so she summoned the officials in Changling and asked them to write poems and send them to Jiankang and various counties as quickly as possible.

After hearing her plan, everyone was amazed at her boldness.

However, General Yu, who arrived later, thought about it for a moment and then burst into laughter, his laughter revealing his cruelty.

"Madam, your action is very pleasing to me. If the governor knew about it, he would certainly applaud it. Humph, with 300,000 soldiers at hand, these people have to leave if they don't want to become slaves."

General Yu decided to personally lead his men to Jing County first. This was the hometown of the Chao family, a territory they had managed for a hundred years. Once they had conquered this tough nut to crack, everything else would be much easier.

"No, let's go to the fiefs of the royal family first. The world nominally belongs to the Xiao family. Then we can go to Jingjun. We have to be quick!"

Once upon a time, Zhang Jingxian was just a peasant girl who was bothered to pull weeds in the fields, but after she said this to General Yu and others, no one dared to treat her as a peasant girl anymore.

She has touched upon power and knows how to weigh and calculate people's hearts.

For the sake of justice in the world, those members of the royal family must not remain indifferent, but choose to start with the royal kings. To some extent, this is the protection of the interests of the aristocratic families. Aristocratic families such as the Chao family and the Zheng family have an extra step, and it will be easier for them to accept it.

Finally, even if they are angry about this, the conflict between the aristocratic and royal families can be used to divide and dissipate their anger.

Once this plan came out, who would dare to say that Zhang Jingxian was just an ordinary peasant girl?

General Yu looked at her deeply and did not refute.

A few days later, an urgent report was received in Jiankang City. In the court, Prime Minister Xie and the Grand Marshal and others fell silent for a moment, and the rest of the officials were also speechless.

All the sarcasm, hostility and fighting stopped.

"A mere Madam Zhang is truly crazy. She actually forced someone to marry her. How is she any different from a bandit?"

Someone murmured quietly, and when he looked up, he found the Prime Minister looking at him with a smile, "So the man who saved the country is actually a bandit in your mouth."

The man realized that the Prime Minister was angry, and he broke into a cold sweat and quickly knelt down to apologize. "Don't be fooled by Prime Minister Xie's gentle appearance. If he really started to fight, I would wipe out all three of our clans."

"He knows to ask the kings for people first. It can be seen that Zhang is a sensible person. Whoever owns the world will protect it." The Grand Marshal suddenly said this, and the sharp edge was directed at the emperor above him.

The Xiao family is incompetent. They rely on the aristocratic families to secure the world, and as soon as they are stable, they are eager to divide and suppress them. How can such a thing happen in the world?

"How dare a woman, and a lowly commoner at that, make a decision on her own? There must be someone behind it." King Xiao Chongdao of the East China Sea frowned and curled his lips maliciously.

Xie Yun, it was definitely him who ordered it.

"If His Royal Highness the King of Donghai is dissatisfied, why not volunteer to go to the Huai River?" Xie Li said coldly, his patience exhausted.

If Xiao Chongdao dared to agree, the day he left Jiankang City would be his death anniversary.

"Don't blame me, Prime Minister. What the Grand Marshal said makes a lot of sense. Ah Chong, why don't you shut up!" The Xiao Emperor, who was at the top, noticed Prime Minister Xie's anger and hurriedly spoke to mediate, asking the King of Donghai to shut up.

After years of secret preparation, the royal family was not too weak, but they were able to fight against the arrogant Sima only with the help of Prime Minister Xie. Without Prime Minister Xie, he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

"Madam Zhang, the wife of the Marquis of Changling, has taken this action for the sake of the war and the empire. She is truly a heroine and should not be blamed, but rather commended. I remember the late Empress Dowager left behind a set of nine jades that are a rare treasure, so I will give them to her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

…

On the banks of the Huai River.

Xie Yun's face was expressionless when he heard the news. "Nine Jades Guarding the Nation? You think you can show off a mere set of jade ornaments? The emperor looks weak and has done many things to deceive others."

They were facing the alien race across the river. At the critical moment, Gong Chengyue did not expect that his friend was concerned about the emperor's deception.

He shook the feather fan in his hand, laughed, and asked, "Shouldn't Xie Yun be surprised and happy?" The peasant girl didn't just leave, but worked hard to raise troops for the front line.

He is both skillful and scheming, which is truly impressive.

Xie Yun's eyes softened, his face still expressionless. He said lightly, "It's not enough."

He knew very well that she just didn't want him to be in danger. Didn't he know how soft-hearted that peasant girl was? Once he got the upper hand, she would leave without hesitation.

Xie Yun couldn't help but envy the him in his dream, because Ah Xian, who was in love with someone, would come to him regardless of everything while fighting against the Di people.

But contradictory, Xie Yun didn't want her to appear here. This battle was very dangerous and he had no confidence at all.

But he missed her so much, every inch of his flesh and blood missed her. The more he missed her, the colder and crueler he became. Not a single word or letter could reach the hands of the peasant girl.

Xie Yun was gambling, using his own life as a bet, betting on an outcome. If he lost, she would forgive him. If he won, she would love him unconditionally.

"It's not a loss anyway."

There was madness in his eyes.

At the same time, hundreds of new soldiers including Zhang Rushan and Zheng Qi were on the mountain several kilometers away from the Huai River. They held flags in their hands, tied them to tree trunks, or hung them in the grass.

This task is relatively simple and everyone can do it with ease.

"Ashan, it's my fault that I implicated you." Zheng Qi looked solemn. He didn't expect the war to come so quickly, and that there were as many as 300,000 aliens gathered.

And all of them together number less than 50,000.

"Qi, don't worry. You and I can't tell the difference between the real and the fake. Just act as we are told. At the beginning, the Di people were said to have a million of them." Zhang Rushan whispered to comfort him. They had been in the Northern Army for half a year, and of course they couldn't think of retreating when the time came.

Zheng Qi tensed his face, hummed, and looked at the people around him. They were all full of confidence because there were rumors in the army that the governor had arranged reinforcements and ambushes.

But he was unsure what the Gongcheng master had done by transferring all the old, young, sick and disabled people away. Zheng Qi instinctively wondered if the reinforcements and ambushes were disguised as the old, young, sick and disabled people.

At this time, only Ashan, whom he trusted, could calm him down.

All the flags on the mountain were tied up, and Zheng Qi made a conspicuous mark on the top of the mountain as ordered.

On that day, the Di spies discovered something strange on the mountain. The faintly visible flags and the occasional glimpses of armor all pointed to one fact.

There are ambushes on the mountain, and there are quite a few of them!

He informed the vanguard commander and generals of this matter. A group of people stood quietly on the top of the city wall and looked out. Sure enough, they saw the flags. Then they saw the troops marching in orderly lines on the opposite bank, and their hearts began to panic.

If our side falsely reports the number of people, the other side can also do so.

If they fell into Xie Yun's trap, they would not be facing 50,000 people, but 100,000, 200,000, or even 300,000 people. The consequences would be unimaginable.

How cunning and vicious this man is was proven by the battle four years ago.

"Report! General, Xie Changling has sent an envoy requesting an audience."

"Hiss...let's wait for a while."

-

"General Yu, there are 20,000 of us in total. I'll wait for your safe return in Changling."

Outside Changling City, Zhang Jingxian bid farewell to General Yu and 20,000 soldiers who were urgently summoned from all over the place. She rode on horseback with a calm expression.

General Yu bowed to her and led his troops away.

The dust that rose up covered the sky for a moment. Zhang Jingxian pursed her lips and looked into the distance. She still hadn't received any news.

She had no idea whether that person was alive or dead.

"Madam, you must be tired these days. Go back and have a rest." Yu came over and persuaded her to go back home. She had worked hard for many days and had lost a lot of weight.

Zhang Jingxian seemed not to hear it. The only sound in her ears was the man's low laughter.

He asked her to love him, and he said he had done the impossible.

She hadn't thought much of it then, but she had thought of it more than once in recent days. What on earth did he mean?

Zhang Jingxian was puzzled and followed Yu back to the mansion. Suddenly, a yellow warbler flew towards her with a feather in its mouth. Spring had come and it wanted to build a nest.

The feathers are a little gray, and I seem to have seen them before.

Wild geese! Zhang Jingxian thought of the two geese she had caught for her wedding, and the question he had asked her.

How did she answer?

"Resurrection of the dead and reversal of time are absolutely impossible."
