Chapter 504: Survival
Qi Hanzhou found it difficult to digest this information for a while.
It never occurred to him that he was not a member of the Qi family.
He never thought that he would have anything to do with the royal family of the previous dynasty.
But he knew that his elder brother would not make up stories to lie to him, and his father would not coax him.
"Third brother, don't blame Dad. He was forced to do so. He was ordered to capture your biological father, the previous emperor. Dad originally planned to bring him back and plead for his life in front of the new emperor, Chu Xiuyuan. But after your biological father handed over the secret of you and the treasure to Dad, he committed suicide."
Qi Hanzhou looked at him with bloodshot eyes filled with pain: "Brother, please give me some time. This happened too suddenly."
"Okay, I think Dad told you the location of those treasures a long time ago. It's the secret of the Qi family." Qi Yuanzhou stood up and patted his shoulder again. After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Leave him alone.
Digest this information.
Qi Hanzhou stayed alone for a while before he stood up with the help of his arms.
Now, he urgently wants to see his little girl.
——
Yun Fu had just finished taking a shower and was not feeling sleepy, so she bent over her desk and started writing the "Plan for the Subsequent Sustainable Development of the Ghost Prison."
She recognized Qi Hanzhou's familiar footsteps, greeted him, and continued writing her plan.
It was not until Qi Hanzhou came closer without a word, leaned over and hugged her, and a slight tremor passed through his body that Yun Fu realized that something was wrong with him tonight.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"Xiao Fu'er, I'm not Qi Hanzhou!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I said, I'm not Qi Hanzhou at all!"
"If you are not Qi Hanzhou, then who are you?"
Yun Fu raised her chin slightly and glanced at him suspiciously. After smelling the alcohol, she asked, "Are you drunk?"
"I'm not drunk, Xiao Fuer. It turns out that I'm not my parents' child at all!" Qi Hanzhou's voice was full of fragility.
Yun Fu was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal: "What you want to say is that you are not of the Qi family's bloodline?"
"Well, big brother told me about my life story. Xiao Fuer, if I were not Qi Hanzhou, would you still love me?" Qi Hanzhou grabbed her little hand, eager to know the answer.
Yun Fu glanced at him and said, "I chose you not because I like your name Qi Hanzhou."
If she liked this name, she would have changed her name to "Qi Hanzhou".
Qi Hanzhou looked at her deeply, and then asked tentatively: "No matter what my background is, you will not leave me?"
Yun Fu was so curious about what he did that she blinked her eyes and said, "What is your background? Tell me!"
Since Qi Hanzhou chose to come to her immediately, he naturally had no intention of hiding anything from her: "Xiao Fu'er, do you remember the Qi family secret I mentioned earlier?"
Yun Fu certainly remembered: "Didn't Chu Jingyan send assassins to hunt you all the way just for that secret?"
Qi Hanzhou nodded: "So the secret is not only related to the treasure of the previous dynasty, but also to my life experience."
Yun Fushui's eyes turned slightly, and she tried to guess: "Could your life experience also be related to the previous dynasty?"
Qi Hanzhou did not refute immediately, which was equivalent to his consent.
To be honest, Yun Fu was quite surprised by the news, but not to the point of being unacceptable.
"Xiao Fu'er, I might be the orphan of the previous emperor." Qi Hanzhou finally spoke up and told his life story.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fu responded calmly: "Oh, I see."
"Is that it?" Her reaction made Qi Hanzhou not know how to proceed.
Yun Fu pursed her lips. "What else do you want me to do? Do I immediately cut off all ties with you because of your background?"
"No, don't distance yourself from me." Qi Hanzhou panicked instantly.
Yun Fu felt that there was nothing good about Qi Hanzhou except that he was too sensitive.
"Let me ask you, you are an orphan from the previous dynasty. Will your feelings towards me, your family, and your friends change? Will it change some of your previous thoughts?"
"Won't!"
"That's it! You're still you! The relationship between us won't change."
Qi Hanzhou hugged her, his heart comforted, and told her the clue of the treasure of the previous dynasty.
Yun Fu was not particularly obsessed with the treasures of the previous dynasty. After all, they had already emptied the dog emperor's treasury.
However, now that it's delivered to my doorstep, I'd rather take it. Besides, these treasures were left to Qi Hanzhou by his biological father.
The previous dynasty left behind a total of eight treasure troves. The treasure in one of them had been moved into the space by Yun Fu. The two discussed it and decided to let Qi Hanzhou lead people to find the remaining seven treasures.
This time, Yun Fu would not go with him. She wanted to stay and build the Ghost Prison.
Chu Jingyan should soon find out that the private soldiers he kept in the Ghost Prison have been intercepted by someone. At that time, given Chu Jingyan's personality, he will definitely make trouble.
Therefore, they have to seize the time and build infrastructure in the Ghost Prison. They cannot wait for Chu Jingyan to come with his army, but must take the initiative to attack.
Qi Hanzhou took a group of people and set off, and they were gone for more than half a year.
——
In the past six months, the Ghost Prison has undergone tremendous changes.
Under Yun Fu's leadership, not only the most basic agriculture and animal husbandry were developed, but construction was also carried out, and education, medical care, and military were vigorously developed.
In just over half a year, the development of Guihuang Prison has reached a level that other cities in the five countries may not be able to reach in decades.
Who would have thought that the once barren land has now been built into a prosperous and indestructible city.
On the contrary, outside the Guihuang Prison, the people of Dasheng were in dire straits. Not only did they have to suffer from the natural disaster of severe drought, but they also had to endure the man-made disasters brought about by the Dog Emperor's wrong decisions.
Even a big family like the Cui family was affected. The head of the Cui family had no choice but to run to the Guihuang Prison with his family, young and old, to beg Yun Fu for protection.
For the sake of money, the dog emperor has already started to target the larger aristocratic families and merchants, claiming that he is collecting money for military pay and disaster relief, but in fact he is turning the army into bandits, openly burning, killing and looting.
If they resist, their entire family will be slaughtered.
The first to suffer were the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in Shengjing and its vicinity, but they were robbed not by bandits but by the emperor, and they had no way to seek justice for their grievances.
Cui Chongzheng received the news from the spies in Shengjing. He knew that the Cui family, as the largest family in the northwest, would definitely not be able to escape. In order to avoid casualties among his family, he had no choice but to take his people and hide in the Guihuang Prison.
"Princess, it's not that we are reluctant to spend money, nor that we don't want to help the victims, but what the Great Sheng Emperor is doing is leaving us, the noble families, with no chance of survival!"
Yun Fu drank the freshly brewed tea and glanced at Cui Chongzheng, who seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant. "I do have a way to make a living. I wonder if you want to go."
