The desire for life finally overcame the fear in his heart. After thinking all night, the lizard man finally made up his mind and was willing to go out with Feng Qingchen.

Before leaving, the lizard man emphasized again that if he could not adapt to life outside, Feng Qingchen should send him back as she said.

Here, he still had things to accomplish. If he was going to die, he hoped to finish that thing first, so that he would have no regrets when he died.

"Okay." The conditions proposed by the lizard man were nothing more than a piece of cake for Feng Qingchen. And the reason why she gave the lizard man so much help was purely because the lizard man had helped them first with his kindness and simplicity.

This is how it is between people. If you help others within the scope of your ability, most people will not remember it. But when you owe someone a favor, it feels like something is hanging in your heart, and you hope to repay them as soon as you get the chance. Feng Qingchen is like this.

With the lizardman leading the way, they spent less time and were more successful. Feng Qingchen also took the opportunity to pick some poisonous flowers and herbs to bring back to Guo Baoji. As for the other tyrant in the crack, the big snake, they still didn't encounter it. It must be said that their luck was still pretty good.

According to the original plan, after getting the Emperor's Sword, the Ninth Prince should return to the Imperial City to take charge and reassure the people. But plans cannot keep up with changes. For the safety of the Lizard Man, they must first send the Lizard Man to Jiangnan, so that Guo Baoji, the Valley Master and Feng Qingchen can work together to cure the virus in the Lizard Man.

Feng Qingchen didn't know how long it would take. In order not to delay the Ninth Prince's business, Feng Qingchen suggested: "We should act separately. The Lizard Man and I will go to Jiangnan, and you will return to the capital. The capital needs you to take charge."

As soon as they appeared, they contacted the secret guards. During the time they were looking for the Emperor's Sword, many things happened outside.

After being defeated, Chucheng received support from King Yong's troops and was able to catch its breath. However, Doudou was caught in a pincer attack from both armies. Now the war was at a stalemate and Doudou could not escape for a while.

The battle between Beiling and Dongling was a mixed bag. Even if Dongling could stop Beiling's attack, it would not be able to defeat Beiling in a short time. Not to mention, Beiling had recently changed its strategy and slowed down its offensive.

Princess Anping also sent a secret letter to the Ninth Uncle from Beiling, saying that Beiling had received a large amount of material support, and even if it could not get supplies from Dongling, Beiling would not be short of food in the short term, and they would not withdraw their troops from Dongling either.

Although there are constant conflicts within Nanling, Nanling is able to unite against Dongling, a big piece of fat meat, and wants to send troops to share some of the benefits.

The only good news came from Xiling. The slow arrival of the army gave the Xiling Princess the upper hand. According to the current situation, if the Princess is given another month or so, she will be able to attack the palace.

According to the plan of the Ninth Prince and Xiling Tianyu, they would wait for the eldest princess to break into the palace, and preferably force the emperor to abdicate, or kill him, and then dispatch a large army to quell the rebellion.

By then, all the blame would be borne by the eldest princess, the emperor would lose his power, and Xiling Tianyu would be able to sit on the throne without having to bear any infamy.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Xiling Tianyu is willing to ascend the throne. If Xiling Tianyu is unwilling, then try to save the emperor's life and then undermine the emperor's power.

After all, no one wants to be the emperor of a fallen country. Xiling Tianyu knew the ambition of his ninth uncle, so how could he possibly become emperor at this juncture?

In addition to the four kingdoms, the nine cities are also ready to move. Taicheng has already sent troops to Shandong. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen has been prepared. It is only a matter of time for Feng Liyou to capture Taicheng. However...

Nanling couldn't just sit back and watch Dongling attack Taicheng. There was Taicheng stuck in the middle, and Nanling didn't need to send more troops there. If Taicheng fell into Dongling's hands, Nanling would definitely be uneasy. At that time... it would be much easier for Dongling to attack Nanling.

In addition to Taicheng, Hancheng and Jiancheng were also ready to make a move. The only ones who had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water were Yucheng and Yuncheng. The two city lords stayed out of the matter in order to protect themselves and not take advantage of others.

The world is in such a mess, how could the Ninth Prince have time to go to Jiangnan? Feng Qingchen suggested that the best solution is for them to act separately.

You know, in the current situation, the people of the Fengli clan can still turn around without Feng Qingchen, but without the Ninth Prince, many things can't be changed. Even if they can be changed, there is no guarantee that those people under them will not have ulterior motives.

There is no way. The power in the hands of the Ninth Prince is too tempting, and there are too many people who want to replace him.

The country and the people, or the love of a child. It was unnecessary to say which was more important. The Ninth Prince only thought about it for a moment before accepting Feng Qingchen's suggestion and sending someone to escort Feng Qingchen to Jiangnan.

In this war-torn world, Jiangnan is the only place that has not been baptized by war. Of course... this is not a privilege given by the Ninth Uncle to the former Crown Prince and the King of Qing, but the tax revenue of Jiangnan accounts for one-third of the revenue of the Dongling treasury. As long as Jiangnan is prosperous, even if Dongling continues to fight with other countries, there is no need to worry about logistics and supplies.

"Ahhh..." The Ninth Prince separated from them and the first one to be dissatisfied was Snow Wolf. In Snow Wolf's eyes, the Ninth Prince had abandoned them and didn't care about their lives. The Ninth Prince was too bad.

Feng Qingchen couldn't explain to Xuelang what it meant that the Ninth Prince had his own life, that the Ninth Prince couldn't be with her all the time, and that the Ninth Prince needed his own space. Feng Qingchen only told Xuelang: Feng Jin is in Jiangnan.

Aw... Snow Wolf mercifully let the Ninth Uncle go, not caring about the Ninth Uncle's behavior of abandoning them.

Because he was bringing the lizardmen with him, Feng Qingchen didn't want to cause any trouble, so he rode at full speed. In addition, with the presence of the Ninth Prince, he diverted the attention of most of the spies, and Feng Qingchen arrived in Jiangnan smoothly.

Different from the poverty and depression in other places, Jiangnan was still a place of peace and prosperity. The war outside had no impact on this place at all.

"It's a paradise for people, with luxury and wealth." Although the war did not affect ordinary people in Dongling, taxes were increased in all parts of Dongling because of the war, and the lives of ordinary people became more difficult than before.

Only the people in Jiangnan seemed to be unaffected at all.

"This is how Jiangnan is. Not to mention that the war hasn't reached here, even if it has, these people are not afraid. War is all about money and land, and they can afford the money. As for who is in charge of this place, they don't care. Anyway, no matter who occupies this land of Jiangnan, they will treat it as a treasure pot and manage it well. If you want to make money, you will definitely need these wealthy people in Jiangnan." Prince Qing came out in person to pick up Feng Qingchen, for fear that Feng Qingchen would be refused entry into the city like last time.

Feng Qingchen nodded in understanding: "That's true. For ordinary people, they don't care who is the emperor. They only care about who can feed them and clothe them well."

As long as there is no foreign invasion, as long as the emperor is not a tyrant who makes the people live in misery, it does not matter to ordinary people whether the person sitting on the throne is the son or grandson of the previous emperor. Ordinary people do not have the leisure to care about what the emperor's name is.

"For ordinary people, instead of worrying about who will be the emperor, they are more concerned about whether the harvest will be good tomorrow." Apart from the idle chat after dinner, people only care about things that are related to their own interests.

This is true for ordinary people, and it is also true for Tian Huang Gui Wei. What King Qing is most concerned about now is...
