After hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Zhao Linger and others blushed and smiled shyly and charmingly.

Only Zhu'er said heartlessly: "Zhou Zhiruo, you shouldn't say this to us, you should say it to yourself."

"My brother Wuji looks for you the most. As long as you don't seduce him, his injuries will heal quickly."

Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Zhu'er and said, "You little stinky girl, when did I ever seduce Zhang Wuji? He was the one who came to me shamelessly."

"Besides, I am injured now, and my chest still hurts a lot. In the short term, even if he comes to me, I will not let him do whatever he wants."

"As for you guys, just know what's going on. I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you about this kind of thing."

Zhu'er also gave Zhou Zhiruo a blank look, and she whispered, "Fox spirit, what do you mean by in a short period of time?"

"One month can be called short term, and one day can also be called short term."

Zhou Zhiruo was almost driven to collapse by Zhu'er. She was also wondering why this little girl always went against her.

It was like this back then, when she was at Guangmingding. So much time has passed, and she is still like this now.

Finally, Zhou Zhiruo replied to Zhu'er: "When I say short term, I don't mean a day, let alone a month, but an hour."

…

In Longping Prefecture, after a day of rest, Chen Youliang decided to act without further delay.

Only by unifying Jiangnan as soon as possible can we lead the troops north more quickly.

In Chen Youliang's eyes, the world was within his reach.

The beauty beside her carefully helped him tidy up his dragon robe.

"Your Highness is truly mighty today. The world is at your fingertips. I wish you success in ascending the throne soon."

Chen Youliang smiled and gently pinched the beauty's face.

"I am a man of my words. When I ascend to the throne, you will be the queen."

…

In the whole Jiangnan region, Chen Youliang had the greatest power, but what he didn't know was that just last night, when he was dancing with the beauties around him, Zhu Yuanzhang's army had already started moving.

Most of Chen Youliang's troops were basically concentrated in Suzhou and Longping Prefecture.

There were actually not many troops left in their old nest, Huguang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's order to Zhu Wenzhen was to defend Hongdu for a hundred days.

During these hundred days, what Zhu Yuanzhang had to do was to rush to Chen Youliang's lair as fast as possible, and after destroying Chen Youliang's lair, he would return to ambush Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang had hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside, and his food and salary expenses were several times that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As long as the Huguang area is lost, Chen Youliang's army will be in chaos. At that time, one battle will be enough to conquer the world.

…

At this moment, Chen Youliang knew nothing about Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.

As Chen Youliang anticipated, no one in the world would have the courage to attack his territory.

In the entire Jiangnan region, the only people worth looking at were Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng was already in a difficult situation, and all he had left in his territory was the small city of Xuzhou.

Chen Youliang’s next plan was to send troops to Xuzhou.

As long as Xuzhou could be captured, Chen Youliang would only have Zhu Yuanzhang as his opponent in Jiangnan.

…

Chen Youliang sent 400,000 troops from Longping Prefecture to Xuzhou.

The army marched forward in a mighty force, stretching for dozens of miles, stretching from the earth to the sky.

Chen Youliang himself was sitting in a royal sedan chair.

The person riding with him was the beautiful woman who had danced with him last night.

The beauty handed a grape to Chen Youliang's mouth.

"Your Highness, please have a grape to quench your thirst."

Chen Youliang smiled slightly, ate the grapes, and said, "My beauty, you have suffered so much. When I captured Suzhou from Zhang Shicheng, you were by my side. When I was at the gates of Dadu and fighting a decisive battle with Zhao Min, you were still by my side. But now, I am going to conquer Xuzhou, and the one who stays by my side is still you."

"If you ask me, there is no need for you to stay with me all the time. I would feel distressed if a beauty like you had to sleep in the open air with me."

"You can stay in Suzhou first. The place has beautiful mountains and rivers, which is perfect for supporting a beauty like you. Otherwise, you can return to Changsha first. There is a palace I built for you there. After I ascend to the throne, I will bring you to my side."

"The future of the world will definitely be mine, and the position of queen will never belong to anyone else except you."

The beauty pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Your Highness will be the emperor in the future. I have always regarded your words as an imperial decree. But don't forget that besides the position of queen, I have another wish."

Chen Youliang smiled and said, "Are you talking about your sister's matter?"

The beauty nodded, and then a trace of worry appeared on her face: "My family is not well off. More than ten years ago, my hometown suffered from a drought. My family hasn't had a full meal for a long time."

"My parents had no choice but to watch the whole family starve to death, so they sold me to a merchant caravan heading to Jiangnan."

"After many twists and turns, I became yours."

Chen Youliang smiled and said, "Having you by my side is already a gift from God to me. By the way, I also want to thank the caravan that bought you back then."

"If it weren't for that caravan, our marriage wouldn't have happened. However, you've never told me where your hometown is, and what your sister's name is."
