Xiao Huaishuo sent out a secret signal with a serious expression.

Su Qingning hurriedly moved his seat and kept some distance from him.

Sure enough, a man in black soon appeared behind the two of them, respectfully presenting them with a piece of cloth and a jade pendant.

"Master, these two things were shot into our camp by the Beili people. Lieutenant General Lin knew that this matter was very serious, so he asked his subordinates to send them to you as soon as possible."

After delivering the things, the man in black disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Huaishuo glanced at the strip of cloth and the jade pendant, his eyes were full of reticence, and his tone was indistinguishable from his joy or anger.

"This jade pendant belonged to my father. He must have accidentally dropped it, and it was picked up by the Beili people. Now they lie that my father is in their hands and threaten me to have a face-to-face meeting with them."

"Huh? How do you know that my father is not in Beili's hands?"

"Since we entered the southern border, we have been sending people to track down my father. Although our people have not found any trace of him, we can be sure that he is not in the hands of Beili people."

There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he continued:

"Besides, if my father was really in their hands, they would definitely tie my father to the top of the city and let him ride a tiger in front of all the people, instead of just shooting the jade pendant into the barracks."

"Such a timid behavior shows that they have no confidence at all."

Well, this guy is worthy of being the original author's biological son, he really has a sharp mind.

Su Qingning thought for a moment and said, "Father must have been hidden by Beili's uncle Cao Hong. Cao Hong admired my father's talent very much. When the Beili and Southern Border coalition forces wanted to take my father's life, it was he who saved my father."

"Although he couldn't bear to see his father being killed, he couldn't let his father go easily since he was a general of another country. So he kept him under house arrest with good food and drink."

This is why Su Qingning was not in a hurry to send people to rescue Xiao Boliang. First, because he was too far away to be rescued, and second, because he was indeed not in any danger.

"Ningning, do you know where he hid his father?"

Xiao Huaishuo held Su Qingning's hand, as if a traveler after a long journey finally saw hope.

Su Qingning frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know, but it should be hidden in a place no one would expect."

"After all, you know that the current ruler of Beili is the Regent King. The Emperor and the Queen Mother are a pair of powerless orphans and widows. The Prince's uncle and his family have little influence in the court of Beili."

"If he had just hidden it randomly, he would have been discovered by the Regent."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was excitedly embraced by Xiao Huaishuo.

"Okay, okay! Ningning is really your lucky star! Just this one clue can save us from taking many detours when looking for our father!"

When Su Qingning woke up the next day, Xiao Huaishuo was no longer by her side.

It seemed as if a part of her heart had gone with him, and she always felt empty.

But before long, Su Qingning packed up and went out to check on the newly sent addicts.

Time flies and a month has passed.

With the vigorous propaganda of various city lords, the people have deeply realized the harm of this longevity cream, and the number of newly discovered addicts has increased.

The millet, barley, wheat, sweet potatoes and corn planted in the thousands of acres of fields at the entrance of the village are all ripe.

Thousands of acres of farmland are covered with golden and green crops, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of rice, which is pleasing to the eyes at just one glance.

Corn and sweet potatoes were introduced to Daqian from foreign countries a hundred years ago. The yields of these two things were already shocking enough for ordinary people, but the yields of sweet potatoes and corn planted in Su Qingning exceeded everyone's expectations by several times.

Farmers use a hoe to dig and see big and plump sweet potatoes next to each other.

Not to mention the clusters of wheat ears with full grains of uniform size and even a hint of luster, and the heavy corns that are so numerous that they are about to break the stalks.

It was the first time for the farmers who came to help to see such a grand occasion. They all said that the Xiao family must have been virtuous and kind in their past lives, so they were blessed by God, and the crops they grew were many times better than those of other families.

According to the customary practice of the Daqian people, those who have land generally hire those who do not have land as tenant farmers. Ten percent of the grain harvested each time is left to the employer, and the remaining ten percent goes to the tenant farmer.

However, Xiao Huaishuo was fighting on the front line and needed a large amount of military supplies. Su Qingning discussed with these farmers and directly gave them monthly cash settlements.

The price she offered was obviously many times higher than the market price, and she also provided three meals a day for those working in the village.

These poor people who had been struggling on the line between life and death for many years had never seen such a good thing before. When they looked at Su Qingning again, they looked as if they were looking at a living Bodhisattva.

Su Qingning worked hard and had people reclaim large tracts of land around the village and plant seeds produced in the space.

The land in front of the village had such a good yield because she had moved the land out of the space without anyone noticing.

The lands that were reclaimed later were no longer blessed by the space golden finger. However, they used high-quality seeds from the space, and the crops grown there were far more lucrative than the food on the market.

By the next summer, what comes into view is not only the golden and glittering thousands of acres of fertile farmland at the gate of the village.

Su Qingning sat in her own exclusive pavilion, and all she could see were golden waves dancing in the wind.

Thinking about the intelligence that had come from the front line not long ago, she felt extremely happy.

Five months ago, Li Qimin claimed that the Emperor Daqian died suddenly and passed the throne to him before his death. He also organized a formal coronation ceremony.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Two months later, news came out that Li Qimin had died suddenly and Princess Jingnan had committed suicide.

The Tiger Power Camp was leaderless and was forced to surrender to the Xiao Family Army. The deputy commander immediately led the remaining 30,000 men of the Tiger Power Camp to surrender to the Xiao Family Army.

In the letter that Hsiao Wai-shuo sent to Su Ching-ning not long ago, he also included a piece of gossip, saying that Li Qimin was actually killed by his mother who took the opportunity to do so.

There had been rumors that Princess Jingnan was often insane, and after killing her own son she became even more insane and difficult to control, and then she hit herself to death.

Su Qingning had known about this plot when she read the original book before. She felt that this incident was nothing unusual, it was nothing more than a family of mad critics killing each other.

And just half a month after the Huwei Camp defected, the third prince of Daqian brought the remaining Black Wind Cavalry to surrender to Xiao Huaishuo.

However, the Third Prince was cunning by nature. His surrender was fake, and his real intention was to assassinate Xiao Huaishuo when he met him.

Unfortunately, in the face of such overwhelming force, all calculations were of no use. As soon as the little dog's sleeves moved, Xiao Huaishuo sensed something was wrong and grabbed his throat directly.

With a loud snap, the life of a troubled hero was completely cut short.

The Xiao family army recovered various local forces along the way with great momentum. When they finally faced off against the Beili Kingdom, it was the eldest brother Xiao Yanchu who came up with a plan.

They found a way to get in touch with the young emperor, who had long endured the insults of the Regent, and provided him with a series of tools to commit the crime, so that they could find a way to kill the Regent.

For Emperor Beili, whether he continues to endure the pressure from the Regent or surrenders to the Xiao family army, he will not have a good life.

But Xiao Huaishuo at least gave him a chance to kill his enemy with his own hands, and also promised to give him a huge sum of gold after the task was accomplished.

Therefore, a month ago, news came that Emperor Beili executed the traitors in the palace and led all officials to surrender to Xiao's army.

To show his sincerity, the young emperor even cut off the dog head of the once extremely noble Prince Daqian and presented it to Xiao Huaishuo.

The Southern Frontier Kingdom was once a vassal of the Great Qian Kingdom. It was originally a small country that could only rely on some sinister means to gain power.

Seeing that the Xiao family's army was so powerful, everyone in the court of Southern Xinjiang was in danger and in a constant state of panic.

Before long, under pressure, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang sent people to submit documents to apply to become a vassal state.

Since then, the complicated forces on this continent have been cleared away, and the Xiao family has leapt from the lowest exiles to the most noble people.

Su Qingning was not surprised to see this result.

Because according to the original book, Xiao Huaishuo did single-handedly bring together his old subordinates and successfully unified the country.

And she just provided Xiao Huaishuo with a lot of supplies and weapons, and helped him complete the plot earlier.

It is said that it is easy to cross the river, but difficult to defend it. Even if the overall situation has been determined, Xiao Huaishuo must still appease the people and issue new policies. It is estimated that it will take a long time to meet.

Humph! As expected, men’s mouths are deceiving!

She also said that she would come back when she opened the last box!

Su Qingning didn't believe that this person could come back today!

She tugged at the last red string marked with 'two hundred and thirty' in a rather aggressive manner.

“Crack—”

The familiar sound of machinery turning reached his ears, and what fell into his hands was a long box tightly wrapped in brocade.

Su Qingning's face flashed with surprise, and she was ready to open it to see what treasure was hidden inside.

But suddenly I caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure flashing through the bushes!

This person's movements and clothing are very unfamiliar, and it is obvious that he is a foreigner!

Since he was an outsider, how could he get around the heavy guards and come to the heavily guarded rear area? !

Su Qingning suddenly felt a sense of alarm, and immediately jumped up and flew towards the man.
