Dark City.
Anyi.
A total of 50,000 troops from the Chu and Li countries came in a mighty force, bringing with them the royal family of Wu and all the craftsmen of Wu.

They did encounter a lot of resistance along the way, but they basically crushed them all because there was no organized army in Mingdu.
It was a close call.
The casualties were barely in double digits.
It's simply a miracle.
All the people living in Anyi of Mingdu were subjects of the Jiang clan. Logically speaking, even if it was under the control of the Li Kingdom, it should still belong to the Jiang Kingdom.
However, after years of war, the State of Jiang had already faced the reality.
Their rear base, the night capital Anyi, was dominated by the State of Li. There was only one city on the front line, Suicheng, which was in the heart of the Wu-Yan alliance. Without the support of the State of Li, the iron wall could not be defended at all.
Later, it simply became a vassal of the State of Li.
Jiang Taiyuan's biological father, Jiang Chen, once tried to resist stubbornly, but Jiang Leqing had been operating in Mingdu Anyi for many years and had already won the hearts of the people. Finally, she drove Jiang Chen out of power in a coup and became the true empress of Jiang State.
"They are coming! Open the gate!"
When Jiang Leqing saw the large group of people coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led people out of the city gate to welcome them.
I just looked around, but couldn't find Ying Wuji.
She grabbed one of the Chu generals and asked anxiously, "Where is your Zhenxi Marquis?"
"he……"
Just as the Chu general was about to say something, a strong wave came from the southeast.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that Ying Wuji had already arrived with the royal family of Wu.
Jiang Leqing was immediately delighted and waved from afar: "Ying Wuji!"
The group hurried along very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived in front of the city.
Ying Wuji's body was covered in blood, and it seemed that he had killed many people along the way. His face was a little silent, and he just nodded politely to Jiang Leqing. He didn't even wait for the queue at the city gate, but directly used the Heaven's Will to pave a stone road leading to the city wall, and hurriedly rushed up with a group of people.
Jiang Leqing: “…”
"well……"
Jiang Yu on the side sighed softly.
Jiang Leqing knew what his sigh meant, and quickly said, "Just now I saw that there seemed to be an unconscious person in the arms of King Wu. I guess they have something urgent to do."
Jiang Yu nodded and said nothing.
It has been almost ten years, and my daughter is almost thirty years old. She is old enough to get married.
During this period, Zhao Ning tried several times to arrange a marriage for Jiang Leqing. He wanted to pick a young and promising man from the Zhao clan to marry her so that the power of Jiang State could be smoothly handed over to Li State. This would have been a happy thing for everyone, after all, Jiang State no longer had any foundation to stand on.
Even the great enemy, the Tian family, has been almost wiped out, so there is really no point in persisting.
A marriage brings peace of mind to two families.
But they were all rejected by Jiang Leqing.
Even when Zhao Ning proposed marriage personally, Jiang Leqing refused.
That is Qiang Li’s position as a concubine!
Who doesn't understand her thoughts?
After being rejected, Zhao Ning beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking at Jiang Leqing for a long time with a look of disappointment.
That night, Jiang Yu had a nightmare. He dreamed that the Jiang family was cleansed by the Zhao family in a bloody manner.
Fortunately, Zhao Ning did not get angry and take action.
It's ok now.
After many years, Ying Wuji finally came back.
But it seems that Jiang Leqing must have waited in vain.
But it’s not particularly empty either.
At least he took the initiative to nod politely over here.
Jiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Let's go?"
Jiang Leqing lowered his eyes slightly: "Okay..."
…
The mansion of the lord of Anyi City in Mingdu.
When Ying Wuji and his party arrived, Zhao Ning and Mi Xingli, who were discussing the purchase of artillery, stood up together.
Originally, it was planned to let Ying Wuji have a dream negotiation.
But Mi Xingli thought about it later and felt that her sincerity was not enough, and several key cities of the Chu State urgently needed to be suppressed by artillery, so after hesitating for a moment, she immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Ning, inviting Zhao Ning to meet in Anyi, the capital, in the evening.
Only through face-to-face interviews can she maximize purchase volume and shorten delivery time.
However, when the discussion was at its most exciting, Ying Wuji arrived with a dead body.
"elder sister!"
Li Caimei, who was sitting next to Zhao Ning, suddenly turned pale.
The atmosphere in the entire hall fell silent.
"sugar……"
Ying Wuji's throat felt like it had swallowed glass shards, and it was very difficult for him to speak, but he still said, "Tangtang, don't worry. Things are not hopeless. Listen to me first."
After saying that.
He simply pulled her hand and walked towards the back hall with Li Caitan's body.
Then he turned around and said, "You two keep talking!"
Zhao Ning: “…”
Mi Xingli: "..."
How can we continue the discussion?
The two looked at each other, but still didn't follow.
Back hall.
Li Caimei was extremely sad, and her emotions gradually calmed down after listening to Ying Wuji's retelling.
After leaning on Ying Wuji's shoulder for a while, she wiped her tears and whispered, "Maybe that period was the happiest moment for my sister?"
Ying Wuji nodded: "Yeah!"
In fact, the longer people live, the more they fear death, but at the same time, the less they fear death.
My sister-in-law has lived a very depressed life since she was a child. She experienced many twists and turns in the first half of her life and lived in a state of resentment most of the time.
