"Dad, what is this? Can I try it?"
Tu Yufan rolled his eyes and said, "Just learn slowly first. Don't waste your ammunition. You don't know when you will learn it."
Jiang Ye was silent for a moment. He felt that what his father said was not very pleasant, but he couldn't explain why.
The rumbling sound continued. The attacking army of Xu State suffered heavy casualties, with only a few defeated soldiers fleeing in panic. Later, Tu Yufan took advantage of this morale and captured the two nearest cities at the fastest speed.
Most of the original inhabitants of these two cities had already fled, and the remaining few were able to survive by selling out their country for personal gain. When the State of Xu withdrew, people who had been hiding in the mountains returned to their hometowns one after another. These two cities had a lot of food reserves and many mines. After owning several cities, Tu Yufan could finally be considered a powerful force.
...........
After taking over two cities, the workload increased several times and Tu Yufan was busy again.
"King Xiang sent an envoy to see you."
"Let him come."
Tu Yufan estimated that the male protagonist had become alert. It turned out that he did not care much about Licheng. He just regarded it as a buffer point, thinking that it would be breached sooner or later. As a result, the opponent suddenly took out an explosive weapon and directly reversed the situation.
"Sir, I am here on the orders of the prince. Now the State of Xu is eyeing the country covetously and wants to annex the territory of the State of Xie and massacre innocent people. Your Majesty is hiding in the imperial city and dares not send troops. Why don't we cooperate to repel the State of Xu and take back the territory occupied by Xu..."
Do you want to solve the external enemies first and then resolve the domestic chaos?
It seems that the male protagonist has placed Licheng in a high position today and even sent an envoy to discuss cooperation matters. Of course, he may also be gathering information and want to know about the new artillery.
"You have no say in this matter."
"Yes, the prince wants to invite you to meet him in Meixiangzhou,"
Mei Xiangzhou is the city closest to Licheng. Tu Yufan wondered if he could kill the male protagonist when they met, but it was a bit difficult. Moreover, if he killed the male protagonist, he would probably be hunted down by thousands of troops, and he would not be able to take over his troops.

Prince Xiang's Mansion
A letter from home was delivered to Aying.
After receiving the envelope, Ah Ying saw that there was also a box of silver. She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
After she was abandoned, she could not read and entered the backyard of King Xiang, where she felt bored and began to learn to read.
The words in the letter were completely unfamiliar, and her mother had been illiterate since childhood, so how could she write a letter to her?
But what was described in the letter was indeed what he experienced as a child.
"Have your parents come to see you? I'm so envious of you, sister. I heard that the princess has arranged for you to meet."
The person who was speaking was Prince Xiang's concubine Yu Yan, who came later than Aying, but thought that her family background and status were higher than the orphan Aying, so she called herself the elder sister and always put Aying above her.
Ah Ying grew up in the village and was given to Prince Xiang by the Su family. The first time she saw Prince Xiang, who was so handsome and majestic, she couldn't help but fall in love with him.
But how could an ordinary person like her catch his eye? He favored her only because her eyes resembled those of an old friend.
