After the delicate beauty salted fish, the sick and weak prince kicked the door to coax

In addition, as soon as Qin Xiao occupied a county, he killed the rich gentry and opened their granaries. He did not give it to his own army, but to the poor local people. He also distributed the land of the rich gentry to the people.

Those who were unkind and committed many evil acts for the sake of wealth were directly and publicly executed.

In this way, to the poor people of the Yan State, the Qin Army was an army of justice, coming to save them and give them a way to live, not to kill them.

Therefore, wherever the Qin army went, the common people lined the streets to welcome them, offering hot water, steamed buns and other simple food to the Wei army, and many of them begged to join the army.

In this way, Qin Xiao advanced all the way and occupied the three continents of Yan State!

The Yan State only had six states in total, and half of them were captured at once!
Still no waste of effort.

How can I bear this!
Of course, what couldn't be tolerated were the royal family of Yan State and the ruling class of scholar-bureaucrats, wealthy gentry and landlords.

After the poor people heard about what the Qin army had done, they hoped that the Qin army would come over quickly and distribute food and fields to them to relieve their suffering.

However, the poor people had no say. Whether to continue to resist and fight, or to surrender and negotiate for peace was decided by the Emperor of Yan and the officials.

The Emperor of Yan State was very angry when he heard that many officials offered to offer the city, and the people lined the streets to greet him. There were even soldiers who defected to join the Qin army. He was so angry that he really wished he could kill them all and be clean.

However, no matter how angry he was, he did not want to be a subjugated king even if he was a vassal state of Qin.

Therefore, peace must be negotiated, and this war cannot be fought again.

If we fight again, the country will be destroyed.

Gu Rong and the others had no hope, so they sent ministers to increase the amount of gold, silver, cloth and other tributes to be compensated.

Emperor Yan sent envoys eight hundred miles away to Wuzhou, where Qin Xiao now lives.

There is no honor guard to ask for peace, only horses racing, and the dust is everywhere. I am afraid that before it is too late to surrender and negotiate for peace, the people will already fight at the door.

Qin Xiao met with the peace envoy, and after listening to the peace conditions given by the Yan State, the envoy agreed without further embarrassment.

First, the conditions are indeed quite generous. The compensation is 20 taels of silver, [-] pieces of silk cloth, [-] war horses, ironware and other things.

Moreover, the three continents that Qin had conquered all belonged to Qin, and they did not dare to take them back.

Second, Qin Xiao was almost out of money.

During the war, not only must the soldiers be paid, but they must also be rewarded according to their military merits, and they must also ensure food.

But if he doesn't replenish gold, silver and food through plunder, he will become poorer as he fights more.

Moreover, the battle line to conquer these three continents is still too long, and subsequent management will cost a lot of people and money.

There are so many places to spend money, even if the system mall offers big discounts, it’s still hard to come by!
After the peace talks, Qin Xiao arranged military affairs, such as rest, garrisoning, returning to the border, etc., and hurried back to his side.

Qin Xiao already knew about Gu Rong through the system, but he had not seen Gu Jia in person.

Therefore, I am still a little curious about Gu Jia.

He thought it would take a while before he could see anyone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he heard a message saying that Gu Jia had returned, and Gu Xi's biological parents also came at the same time.

Qin Xiao felt that it was very fast. That was because he had been out marching and fighting and had just come back, so he happened to meet him.

But Gu Xi was a little anxious while waiting. After all, it had been a month since Gu Jia left.

The doubts in her heart became more and more intense, and she became a little impatient.

[Beauty, I suddenly remembered something, and I think maybe you might want to know. 】While waiting for Gu Jia and her parents to enter the palace, the system page appeared in front of her again.

Gu Xi was not in the mood to read what the system said, so she just ignored it, because it was not an urgent matter to read what it meant, so she thought about reading it after talking to her parents.

Soon, Gu Jia and the others arrived.

Gu Xi looked at her and smiled slightly, then his eyes couldn't help but fall on the middle-aged man and woman beside her.

She had seen a portrait of her biological mother, but after seeing the real person, she could only say that the portrait did not capture her charm at all, and even her appearance was somewhat different.

The first impression her mother gave her was that she was extremely beautiful and charming, and had many more unique charms than those young and beautiful women.

Let her also want to admire her style.

But what worried Gu Xi even more was that she had the urge to get close to her, and there was also a feeling that she was very familiar with.

Could this be the heart connection between mother and daughter, the power of blood? Even if they don't get along day and night, they will still feel good about each other and want to get closer when they meet again.

Gu Xi didn't understand, but there was quite a stir in his heart.

Her biological father was also a rare handsome man. Even when he reached middle age, his charm did not diminish. Instead, his elegance and wisdom accumulated over the years were added to him.

Gu Jia stood beside them, making her even more plain-looking.

It doesn't really feel like a family.

Gu Xi couldn't help but think to herself, with their good looks, had they never doubted why their daughter was so average-looking?

If I could have discovered it earlier and exchanged it earlier, would I have had a different life?

Gu Xi looked at them in a daze, and Ye Lan and Gu Tang were no better. Looking at Gu Xi, they were both a little excited and at a loss, not knowing what to say.

Gu Jia felt sad when she saw her adoptive parents looking like this, so she didn't speak.

It was Qin Xiao who took the initiative to break the silence.

He took a few steps forward and came to Ye Lan and Gu Tang. He saluted politely and said with a smile,

"My son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It must have been hard for you to come all the way. Please sit down and have some tea and some cakes while we talk slowly."

Tea, pastries and other things have been prepared long ago.

As for seeing Qin Xiao and Emperor Gu Xi, Ye Lan and others wanted to bow down first, but few people mentioned it.

Ye Lan and Gu Tang both turned to look at Qin Xiao, looking at him from head to toes, and then from feet to head with scrutiny, even critical eyes.

After reading it, I still felt a little dissatisfied.

"Let me tell you first, I don't care if you are the emperor or not. If you dare to apologize to Xi'er, I will make you lose the throne if you have three thousand beauties in the harem. Don't think I'm talking nonsense, I can do it!"

Ye Lan stared at Qin Xiao and threatened and warned him unceremoniously.

If an ordinary emperor heard this, he would be furious.

However, Qin Xiao was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said,

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will never be sorry to Xi'er. I will only have her as a queen in this life. And, to be honest, the majesty of my emperor is probably not as high as that of Xi'er, the queen. She is from the Qin State. Queen, I am the royal husband, it’s okay.”

After saying these words, Qin Xiao's image immediately soared.
