As the sun rises, the residents of Garland City begin their day's work as usual.
In the city guard's mansion, the fat man did not sleep all night. He was very confused - they could not communicate in the same language, and he and Valhalar, the city guard of Garland City, stared at each other for half the night.
Vaharal was also confused. He didn't know where these people came from!
It is impossible for anyone to cross the Great Snow Mountain, but this group of people have obviously different faces, different from all the nobles of the Peacock Kingdom.
He never thought that someone had invaded the Peacock Kingdom, because the Peacock Kingdom was the most powerful existence in this land.
So he just thought that some nobleman came here with his soldiers to divide the territory in the southeast.
The fat man finally realized that no matter how he gestured, the fat man in front of him couldn't understand what he meant. "Kidnap him. Stay here today. Make some delicious food. Tomorrow... Su Jue, look for a map of this country. Su Mo, this city belongs to our Great Xia. Change the flag on the city guard's mansion!"
Everyone acted separately, which naturally alarmed the officials who came to work.
These officials were even more confused. Where was the city defender?
No, how did our peacock flag become a yellow dragon flag?
Yellow Dragon... No noble in the Maurya Dynasty used such a flag!
What's going on?
The officials were very nervous. They even had the courage to run in and ask the fat man who he was. However, after a while of excited chattering with each other, they found that it was useless.
Ruika, the chief of staff of the City Defense Office, sensed something was wrong. He quietly withdrew from the City Defense Office, wrote a letter, and sent it to Siwa, where a 300,000-strong army led by Xijin, the eastern vassal king of the Maurya Kingdom, was stationed.
…
…
Ji Yungui woke up and was still outside the city of Garland, accompanied by Su Jue.
There are several tents here, where the fat man's family lives.
Su Jue put down the book in his hand and smiled apologetically at Ji Yungui. "It is difficult to disobey the master's orders. After all, he is my second uncle, so it is difficult to disobey."
Ji Yungui touched his neck and asked, "Did the emperor get in?"
"We did go in, but we didn't fight. There are no soldiers in this city."
"But there are 300,000 troops within 300 miles of this city!"
Su Jue straightened his hat and said, "Second Master's ideas are a bit unconventional. We disciples are really unable to persuade him. Mr. Ji, what should we do next?"
Ji Yungui didn't know what to do.
We can’t beat the fat man, and his status is so high. Even if we take out the Queen Mother’s decree, it will be useless. But the fat man must not die... "We have to leave Garland City. I’m going to go into the city to take a look."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Ji."
Ji Yungui walked into Galan City and found that it was just as Su Jue said. He felt relieved because at least the fat man did not do something like massacring the civilians.
He walked towards the City Guard Mansion. Standing on the street, he was suddenly stunned. He saw the flag on the top of the City Guard Mansion... It was the Yellow Dragon Flag representing Daxia!
Is this the fat man declaring his sovereignty here?
He walked into the City Guard House and found the fat man, who was eating. His face was filled with joy and he waved to Ji Yungui, "Come on, come on, let's eat together. We'll talk after we're full."
Ji Yungui sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started eating. "Outside... your wife and children, what are you going to do?"
"There are 300,000 enemy troops within 300 miles. The news of your invasion must have spread. They will arrive here with their army in five days at most!"
Ji Yungui raised his head and looked at the fat man, then said seriously, "I believe that if you want to escape, no one will be able to stop you. I also believe that the 3,000 people led by Su Mo can break through!"
"But what about your wife and children?"
"Back then, you lied to His Majesty and told him you'd killed them and dumped their bodies in the Yangtze River... It would have been fine if they'd died in the Yangtze River, at least they were in their own country. But what does this mean now?"
"Are you going to let them die in this foreign country?"
"Master Fu, there are only the two of us here. We met in Jinling back then. I'm doing this for the young lady, and you're doing this for the young lady too... You once swore to the young lady that you would obey her for the rest of your life!"
"Now that the young lady has sent me here...don't you understand what the young lady means? Why do you have to explain this so clearly?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then put down his chopsticks. Ji Yungui thought he was going to say something, but he didn't expect the fat man to pick up the bowl and drink up all the porridge in it in one gulp.
He wiped his mouth, his face a little gloomy, "Of course I remember, I remember every detail of that year!"
He leaned over and stared at Ji Yungui, "But there are some things you don't know. I can't go back to Daxia! Even if I die, I can't go back!"
"Why?"
The fat man sat up straight and took a deep breath, "What a twist of fate!"
"I know Yunqing's intentions, and she knows what I'm thinking. So, I'm going to ask you for a favor. I think there are quite a few spies from the Tianji Pavilion in this place. Send a few people to take my wife and children to a place that even I don't know."
"This time we brought a lot of wealth, enough for them to live comfortably for several lifetimes."
"Whether they want to remarry or remain widowed, I will turn a blind eye to it. As for those children...it's better for them to be born in a foreign country than to live in Daxia!"
Ji Yungui frowned. He didn't understand why the fat man did this, but he vaguely sensed something strange, so he leaned over and asked in a very low voice, "Master... is this really your and the young lady's child?"
This is the only reason why Fatty can't stay in Daxia!
The young master, that is, Fu Xiaoguan, has grown up now. He has become the true master of Daxia. His kingdom must be inherited from Emperor Wu, and his father can only be Emperor Wu!
Otherwise, the throne would be illegitimate!
Even if Your Majesty holds a large army, even if he holds a very high status in the court and in the hearts of the people, if news gets out that he is not the son of Emperor Wu, then in the minds of some people, especially in the minds of many scholars, the orthodoxy of Daxia will be distorted!
The fat man smiled dumbly. He didn't answer, but stretched himself and said nonchalantly, "Since you still remember the good old days in Jinling, I'll leave my wife and children to you."
He stood up and yawned. "I didn't sleep all night last night. I'm going to bed now. You don't have to worry about this. Don't worry, I promised Yunqing to stay alive. I won't be stupid enough to fight the enemy head-on. You know what guerrilla warfare is? I once told me that it's a good opportunity to try it out on this foreign territory."
"His Majesty will come here in person with the team!"
The fat man's chubby body suddenly froze. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "It's good that he's here. Daxia's territory can be expanded."
"But ruling here is difficult. The Snow Mountain is too big for the civil officials to cross."
Having said this, he left the room. Ji Yungui stared blankly at the gradually disappearing figure, and after a long time he let out a long sigh.
