She came today not just to cry to Su Yujiao, but because she felt that Su Yujiao was very capable and might have a way to resolve the crisis.
Anyway, seeing Su Yujiao makes me feel more at ease.
"Mother, don't worry, Father and my eldest brother will definitely be alright."
“Father and elder brother are both capable people. Since they foresaw the danger in advance, they would naturally make preparations early.”
“I’m more worried about Ziqian; he hasn’t replied to my letters in a long time.” Su Yujiao’s brows were clearly furrowed, which was very strange.
What could be so urgent that you don't even have time to write a letter?
He knew perfectly well that his family would worry about him!
He's not such a tactless person!
Could it be... that we've encountered danger?
Hearing Su Yujiao's worries, Zhou's eyes welled up with tears again.
How could she not be worried!
"Mother, don't worry too much. They will surely be blessed with good fortune."
For the next period of time, Su Yujiao was either shopping or on her way to shop.
After all, Hutou Pass needed to build city walls, the capital city needed to build city walls, and prefectures and counties needed to build shelters.
This is a nationwide infrastructure project, so naturally a huge amount of building materials are used.
During this period, trucks, bicycles, and motorcycles appeared one after another in various parts of the Great Ming Kingdom.
At first, the people were curious and afraid of these things, but they gradually got used to the existence of these enormous creatures.
Moreover, the people already knew from the nationwide infrastructure construction that they were about to face a crisis of national subjugation.
Therefore, no matter how novel these things were, they could no longer arouse the curiosity of the people; everyone was only thinking about how to save their lives.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhongyuan was no longer within the territory of the Southern Frontier Kingdom, but had gone to the Baiyue Kingdom, a small barbarian kingdom next to the Southern Frontier Kingdom.
After all, Nan Sheng already knew the seriousness of the matter; if she was not careful, the Southern Frontier Kingdom would also face annihilation.
He then mobilized an army of 100,000 and personally led the search and capture.
Therefore, there was no place for him in the Southern Frontier Kingdom.
After all, he couldn't hide in the deep mountains forever; he needed to train another batch of even more powerful Gu people.
The Baiyue Kingdom was small in area and weak in power, with towering mountains and inaccessible roads between villages, making it ideal for him to train Gu people.
He can train a group and hide another, then launch an attack when there are enough of them.
Another important reason he chose the Baiyue Kingdom was that it was a mountainous country with harsh conditions deep in the mountains, and anyone with a little ability would leave the mountains.
The Baiyue capital city is the only plain in this mountainous country, and it is a city that combines prosperity, wealth and power.
Therefore, the Baiyue Imperial City concentrated half of the Baiyue people.
This is a very crowded capital city with a very high population density.
Once the Baiyue capital is captured, the entire Baiyue kingdom will be under control.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and tall city walls and shelters were built throughout the Great Ming Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhongyuan has already trained a sufficient number of Gu people.
That night, it was dark and windy, with the mountain wind howling.
Chu Zhongyuan gathered all the Gu people together and launched an attack on the sleeping imperial city of Baiyue.
Overnight, the Baiyue capital city became a living hell, a breeding ground for Gu people, and a city of zombies.
As dawn broke, everything came to an end, leaving only a city filled with grotesque, slow-moving, and twisted monsters that scurried through the blood-soaked city.
All of this happened silently; the Baiyue Kingdom was destroyed, and the outside world was completely unaware.
For his next target, Chu Zhongyuan did not choose the Southern Frontier Kingdom, nor did he choose to attack Tiger Head Pass. Instead, he chose a more distant route.
He chose to attack from Zhenhai Pass, knowing that the defenses there were weak and that the Crown Prince would definitely send reinforcements to guard Hutou Pass.
He wasn't afraid of the distance to Zhenhai Pass, after all, he grew stronger as he went, and the farther the road, the stronger his army became.
Chu Zhongyuan successfully stormed through Zhenhai Pass and then advanced southwards, cutting through everything with ease.
However, once he entered the territory of the Great Ming Kingdom, the number of people he captured decreased.
Chu Zhongyuan then discovered that a strange tall building seemed to have been built in every place, and the people had all hidden inside the tall buildings in advance.
The outer walls of the high-rise building are over ten meters high, incredibly sturdy, and perfectly smooth. Most importantly, the gates are made of thick, finely forged steel, making it impossible to breach.
Therefore, Chu Zhongyuan decisively gave up, not wanting to waste too much time in such a remote and impoverished place.
His main goal was to capture the capital of the Great Ming Kingdom and make all the royal families regret their actions.
In just three months, he marched from the remote Zhenhai Pass to the capital.
The journey was smooth and there were almost no casualties, except for some remote mountain villages or unlucky passersby.
The city gate was almost unguarded, as if they were deliberately letting him pass through.
Although Chu Zhongyuan felt that this matter might be a trap, there was no turning back once the arrow was released; there was absolutely no reason to turn back halfway.
Moreover, his victories along the way have inflated his ego to the point of self-destruction.
With such a powerful army, how could he possibly lose!
Just like the Baiyue Kingdom, it was destroyed by him overnight!
When Chu Zhongyuan led his army to attack the capital, he was shocked by the towering city walls before him.
This... such a tall city tower, standing close by it seems to stretch endlessly.
Moreover, the city gate was made of tall, thick, and finely forged steel, and could not be broken open by human power.
Chu Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder the journey was so smooth; it turned out the imperial court had made preparations in advance.
Meanwhile, those in the capital were already prepared, with all the people hiding in shelters and an army of 100,000 men poised to strike.
Su Yujiao had already moved all her close relatives and friends to her small courtyard in the east of the city. Even if the capital fell, her courtyard could serve as the last line of defense, protecting the city for a few more days.
Zhou asked with a worried expression, "Is the attack coming?"
"Can the city walls keep those monsters out?"
Madam Chen also looked worried: "Jiaojiao, I'm so anxious."
"Will anything happen?"
"Mother, it's alright, they can't get in."
"That city wall is not easily breached."
Just as Chu Zhongyuan was preparing to find a breakthrough, he suddenly saw huge spheres floating up from above, with baskets hanging below them.
Upon closer inspection, it appears that there is a person standing in the basket.
Just as he was wondering why the big sphere was flying into the sky, the people on it suddenly started throwing things down.
With a deafening roar, the bomb exploded, sending countless Gu people flying in a bloody mess.
Wherever the bombs were dropped, there were only dismembered limbs and broken bodies.
Those Gu people who were only hit in the arms and body could get back up.
However, those Gu people whose heads were blown off, whose legs were broken, or who were even blown into pieces could never get up again.
Chu Zhongyuan's pupils contracted sharply. What kind of divine weapon was this?
It has such power?
He was both shocked and excited.
If they can knock down some of those big balls, will they be able to ride them into the city?
