Xie Wan'er was one of the four most beautiful girls in Ganyang City in the 57th term. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Xie Wan'er was located was the property of Chen Li, the former head of the Qingyun Society.

Later, all of Chen Li's property was swallowed up by Sun Hao, and Xie Wan'er became Sun Hao's woman.

When Xie Wan'er came to the courtyard where Luo Xuan lived, she saw the five girls, Luo Xuan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Luo, and Cai Wenji, looking at her with their gazes. She couldn't help but tremble in her heart and fell to her knees.

"Sisters, I didn't promise my brother to help the court.

Really, as soon as my brother mentioned this, I refused directly.

I am already a member of the Sun family and will never do anything to let them down or my husband." Xie Wan'er said with tears in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan and the other four girls were all stunned. Things seemed to be different from what they expected.

Luo Xuan said in a deep voice: "Sister Wan'er, you get up first.

Let me ask you, when you say your brother, are you referring to the general of the Imperial Guards?"

Xie Wan'er nodded quickly, "His name is Xie Minghui, he's my biological elder brother..."

It turns out that Xie Wan'er was born in a family of officials, but because her father was involved in a case of treason, the Xie family was raided by the court.

Xie Wan'er, who was only eight years old at the time, was sent to the Jiaofang, a brothel run by the imperial court. Later, Xie Wan'er was sold to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Ganyang City, and was trained by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to become the most popular courtesan in Ganyang City.

Xie Wan'er's elder brother, Xie Minghui, was seventeen years old when his family's house was searched and he was sentenced to exile in Yizhou in the southwest.

Ten years ago, Prince Yong'an Chen Su led 200,000 imperial troops to the southwest to quell the Tusi rebellion. Xie Minghui was recruited by Prince Yong'an Chen Su because of his outstanding martial arts.

Now Xie Minghui is already a deputy general of the sixth rank in the Dingwu Town of the Imperial Guards. This time, Prince Yong'an Chen Su has mobilized 3,000 elite soldiers of the Imperial Guards, and Xie Minghui is in charge of their command.

After these 3,000 elite imperial guards are reorganized into Xizhou's wing troops, Xie Minghui's rank will definitely be promoted.

When Xie Wan'er learned that her elder brother had come to visit her, she was so excited that she didn't even have time to greet anyone else and went out to meet Xie Minghui.

What Xie Wan'er never expected was that after meeting, Xie Minghui actually talked to her about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, hoping that Xie Wan'er could work for the court and find out some information about Sun Hao.

Xie Wan'er felt very disappointed when she saw her brother, whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years, asking her to deal with her husband as soon as they met.

This also made Xie Wan'er suspect that maybe Xie Minghui had known that she was in Ganyang City for a long time, but she, his sister, was of no use to him before, so he never came to find her.

After rejecting Xie Minghui in person, because this matter was a little difficult for Xie Wan'er to talk about, she has not mentioned it to anyone else for the time being.

After learning the truth, Luo Xuan comforted Xie Wan'er with some kind words, then turned to Zhen Luo and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Although Luo Xuan and Zhen Luo did not get along, she knew that among Sun Hao's wives and concubines, Zhen Luo was not inferior to herself in terms of intelligence.

Zhen Luo said bitterly, "It's obvious that the Xizhou governor has come with ill intentions. He and the three thousand elite imperial guards must have been sent by Prince Yong'an to restrain my husband.

In my opinion, it would be better to let Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong and the others take care of the Xizhou governor and the three thousand elite imperial guards, so that they won't cause trouble for my husband."

Luo Xuan sighed and said, "My husband seems unwilling to turn against the court for the time being. Otherwise, the governor of Xizhou and his three thousand elite imperial guards would never reach Ganyang City."

Zhen Luo hesitated for a moment, "Sister Xuan, since Xie Minghui, who leads 3,000 elite imperial guards, is also a relative of ours, can we bring him over to my husband's side?

Without the support of those 3,000 elite imperial guards, the Xizhou governor wouldn't be able to accomplish anything."

Luo Xuan's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea, we can give it a try."

Zhen Luo then suggested, "Sister Xuan, for those sisters who have finished their confinement, it would be best if they could take their children to Iron Lion City first. The more people we leave in Ganyang City, the more worried your husband will be about the imperial court."

Luo Xuan agreed, "I've been thinking about this for the past couple of days. I think Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and the other six can take their children to Iron Lion City first."

Just as Sun Hao's six wives, concubines and six children were preparing to rush to Iron Lion City, Sun Hao had already learned that the Liang court had changed the name of the Western Regions Protectorate to Zhenxi Protectorate.

So Sun Hao directly changed the name of the former capital of the Gule Kingdom, that is, Tieshi City, to Zhenxi City, as the seat of the Zhenxi Protectorate.

At this time, the remaining fifty-odd cities in the western region of Gule State had all been captured by the Zhenxi Army.

What surprised Sun Hao was that after he captured the last city of Gule Kingdom, he heard the anticipated voice in his ears.

"Congratulations on conquering the first country! You'll be rewarded with five extra sign-ins!"

Although the annual sign-in system mentioned "occupying the first country", Sun Hao knew that he would not get any additional sign-in opportunities in this regard in the future.

But just this reward made Sun Hao very happy, as it was equivalent to getting five extra sign-in opportunities for free.

Sun Hao then used up all five extra sign-in opportunities.

"Congratulations to the strategists: Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong!"

"Congratulations to the signing of the powerful generals: Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi!"

"Congratulations on signing in as cavalrymen: Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Hundred Generals, one hundred and twenty-eight!"

"Congratulations on signing in as cavalrymen: Xiliang Iron Cavalry Hundred Commander, one hundred and twenty-eight!"

"Congratulations on signing in as an infantry soldier: 128th Mo Dao Bai Ren Jiang!"

Seeing that he had signed out two counselors, Sun Hao hurriedly used the "Intermediate Exploration Eye" on Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
