After crying for a long time, Qin Shiyu was the first to stop. She asked:

"Father, brother, how did you get here?"

"We were able to come to Narcissus Village this time thanks to General Li. He took us out of prison and brought us to Narcissus Village, which gave my daughter and me the opportunity to meet."

It turned out that Li Guang had rescued them from prison. The two walked up to Li Guang and were about to kneel down before him.

Li Guang was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"Sisters, you're being too formal. In Narcissus Village, we're all one family. I've always wanted to reunite your family, but unfortunately, I haven't had the chance."

I must thank the Fourth Prince this time. After we captured the capital last time, I mentioned the Qin family to him. After listening, he considered it briefly and agreed to my request to allow your family to reunite.

After the emperor returned to the capital, he reported the matter to the emperor and requested a retrial. In any case, the Qin family was far from the capital and suffered an undeserved disaster.

No matter how this case is tried, the Qin family is innocent. It won't be long before the government returns your family's property.

Only then did people realize what had happened. Zhao Xian was also very happy. He walked over and came to Qin Yuanwai's door.

Qin Shiyu quickly stepped forward to introduce:

"Father, this is Zhao Shaofu. Two years ago, Shaofu saved me and Yingying."

Since then, we have lived in Narcissus Village, and we have lived very well here. This is our home.

"Greetings, Lord Shaofu. You are a great benefactor to our Qin family. Please accept my bow."

After Qin Yuanwai finished speaking, he knelt down before Zhao Xian. Seeing their father kneel down, Qin Xiaowen and his two sisters also knelt down before Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian was startled and quickly helped Master Qin up, signaling the others to get up as well.

“Master Qin, there’s no need for such formalities. I’m very happy that your family can reunite in Narcissus Village. Let’s go into the village first, and we can talk more when we get home.”

Soon, the group left the village entrance and entered Narcissus Village. Zhao Xian instructed the chef to slaughter pigs and sheep, as today was a joyous occasion and they should celebrate properly.

The village of Narcissus was bustling with activity at this time, with every household decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. It was more lively than even during the Spring Festival.

After returning home, Li Guang did not stay long before hurriedly leaving for the farm.

He knew his father-in-law should be at the farm at this time. He hadn't seen Meng Yaoyao for many days and missed her terribly.

Li Xue also planned to go to the farm, but felt that now was not the time to go, so she went to the inn to rest first and would go to the farm later to see Xiao Hei.

Zhao Xian sent people to inform everyone that dinner would be at home that evening. They could have gone to the military camp to celebrate, as it was a large and spacious place that could accommodate many people.

But Zhao Xian always felt that something was missing there; at least it didn't feel like home.

When there wasn't enough manpower, Zhao Xian asked his eldest and third uncles' families to come and help. Old Mrs. Zhao also came uninvited.

One advantage of Old Lady Zhao helping in the kitchen is that the gossipy women become much more obedient and dare not say anything out of line.

There were quite a few people having dinner tonight. Not only did Wang Lizheng come, but the headmaster and teachers from Wufang Academy were also invited. Of course, Zhao Xian did not forget Master Lin either.

More than ten tables were set with food, and everyone who attended the banquet was in high spirits. It was a historic moment.

At the same time, the military camp was also very lively. With the addition of troops from the border and ancient castles, the military camp suddenly gathered more than 100,000 soldiers.

As arranged by Zhao Xian, a sumptuous banquet was prepared in the military camp, and the soldiers drank heartily, creating a lively atmosphere.

At the banquet, people excitedly discussed the details of fighting the invaders, and of course, many soldiers lost their lives in this battle.

Overall, Narcissus Village played a crucial role in this battle.

People ate and talked, and the dinner lasted for a long time before it ended.

After resting for a few days in Shuixian Village, Yue Heng led the border army back.

They will first return to the capital to reorganize their troops, and then return to the border.

However, when they returned to the capital, they had an important task to complete: to escort the thousands of prisoners held in Narcissus Village back to the capital, including the famous Shang Wei and Sullivan.

Zhao Xian had long wanted to send these prisoners away. These people were of no use except for receiving rewards from the court, and the rewards might not even be enough to cover their food and drink expenses.

Yue Heng led his team away, and Meng Liang wanted to stay in Shuixian Village for a few more days, but the 20,000 soldiers he brought would cost a lot of money just for food and drink every day, which made Meng Yaoyao very distressed.

Meng Yaoyao urged him to return as soon as possible. Meng Liang had no choice but to prepare to lead his troops back to the castle.

Knowing that Meng Liang was also a lover of wine, Zhao Xian took out fifty jars of baijiu from the wine cellar and gave them to Meng Liang to take with him.

Upon seeing so much fine wine, Meng Liang was immediately delighted. This wine, if taken to the castle, would be enough for him to drink for a while.

The next day, Meng Liang led his troops away, and Li Guang and Meng Yaoyao saw him off for a long distance.

After seeing off Yue Heng and Meng Liang's armies, Zhao Xian and Li Guang began to take stock of the troop strength of Shuixian Village. To their surprise, they found that Shuixian Village had exactly 100,000 troops.

This war caused enormous losses to the Northern Dynasty, but Shuixian Village was definitely the biggest beneficiary, as Li Guang legitimately developed an army of 100,000.

As long as military funding is guaranteed, Li Guang will have formidable military strength that no one can afford to provoke, including the eldest prince, Li Hui.

Moreover, the castle and the border were also Li Guang's solid support. More importantly, the Fourth Prince was an important force in the court, and he would provide Li Guang with strong support.

The war has had some impact on Zhao Xian's production and business, but as the situation gradually recovers, Zhao Xian's business will gradually improve.

With an army of 100,000 in Shuixian Village, Zhao Xian was no longer afraid of any power. He could use his knowledge to develop diversified businesses, create more wealth, and help Li Guang complete his great cause.

With an army of 100,000, the daily living expenses were a huge burden. During this period, Zhao Xian had already been living beyond his means and wished he could stretch every penny he had.

Although Zhao Xian didn't say anything, Li Guang had already seen through his thoughts, so he spoke up:

"Brother Zhao, look what this is!"

Zhao Xian looked at Li Guang, who pulled a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to him. Zhao Xian was overjoyed. He took the notes and saw that they contained a full one million taels of silver!

"How come there are so many silver notes? Where did they come from?" Zhao Xian asked.

"We've recovered this silver from Sullivan. It's enough to cover the expenses of an army of 100,000 for a long time, and it will definitely help us get through this crisis."

“Yes, these silver notes are a godsend. We’ll get through this period without any problem,” Zhao Xian said excitedly.
