The matter at Yanpingguan seems to have been resolved, but it is far from over.

Mei You and the others decided to grab some territory from Dongfang Tai.

Meiberry fully supports this, but this time Meiberry only supports verbally. She wants to go back to Xianyao first.

I don't know why, but since she returned to Yanzhou, Mei Bei has not received a letter from Xie Changxu. Mei Bei always feels that something is wrong.

"We'll go with you too."

After this separation, Mei Youqian and Wei Meili couldn't stand it anymore.

They want to go back with their daughter.

These days, unexpected things can happen suddenly, and they decide to closely support Mayberry in everything she does.

"Huh? Really?"

To be honest, Mei Bei was very happy that her parents were leaving with her, but she glanced one more time in the direction of Xie Dachen, who didn't say anything this time.

After this battle, there is indeed a lot to do behind Meijiabao.

But Xie Dachen could see that Meijiabao would no longer be just a fort in the future.

Mayberry may be involved in subsequent construction and planning, but probably not to the same extent as before.

Moreover, Xie Dachen has already found a more suitable candidate than Mei Youqian and Wei Meili - Hu Yanqing.

But at this moment, Hu Yanqing had no idea that he was about to move from the battlefield to the rear infrastructure.

Mei Bei was happy to be able to leave with Wei Meili and Mei Youqian, but the time of departure was somewhat different from Mei Bei's.

Not long after Yanping Pass was repaired, troops were sent to directly defeat Yue Liao.

As the city closest to Yanping Pass, Yue Liao was captured very quickly. The people in the city had no resistance. Even because of Yue Liao's previous targeting of Yan Ping Pass, many people in the city had already complained.

Moreover, due to the uneven situation in the eastern part of Yanzhou, it will most likely be difficult for Mei Bei to return, and Mei You and the others will not feel relieved either.

Therefore, Mei Pei and the others were not able to leave before the eastern part of Yanzhou was captured by Yanping Pass. Mei Pei even stayed in Yue Liao for a while.

Meiberry also visited her former residence in Yue Liao and saw the Changxia flowers she had planted in the backyard. The brightly colored Changxia flowers were blooming all over the backyard and the wall. Meiberry picked out a few of the most vigorously blooming ones in clay pots. take away.

Although she hasn't left Yanzhou yet, Mei Qian has already thought about taking this evergreen flower back to share with Xie Changxuan.

During this time, the news of the battle between Yanpingguan and King Wei was known to the world.

Later, when they learned that the officers and soldiers of Yanpingguan declared war on the King of Wei and directly and forcefully occupied most of the territory in the eastern part of Yanzhou, everyone was mentally prepared.

And the whole world also learned about the use of black powder in the battle between the two sides.

The terrible effects of black powder used on the battlefield were spread, but the content of the news was also very interesting. It was said that Yan Pingguan used black powder to kill countless soldiers.

King Wei took the lead in using black gunpowder but didn't say a word about it. Who among the people in Yanpingguan didn't laugh after hearing this?
Soon, the Xianyao area took the lead in advocating civil war and prohibiting the random use of black powder.

This statement was quickly agreed to by King Wei.

Only the imperial court, which was lagging in information and had no real experience of the power of black powder, expressed dissatisfaction with this.

Seeing that King Wei was worried, wouldn't it mean that they could use black powder when attacking King Wei?
In addition to this incident, the people in the court also discovered another bright spot——

When did Xianyao get involved in this and seemed to be on the same line as Yan Pingguan?
Although some people in the court have always said that because Mei Mei and Mei You are sisters, Xianyao and Yan Pingguan can get along, which is understandable.

But the Queen Mother still had doubts.

"If it was so easy to persuade Yan Pingguan, then why did Yan Pingguan ignore the imperial court's summons so many times?"

No one dared to answer the Queen Mother's inquiry.

"Previously, the Ai family heard that Marquis Gu was unwilling to obey the imperial court. Some people said that it was because of the female generation of the Ai family, and he despised the regent's affairs.

Then Lord Meijun is also a female. How can Marquis Gu be able to communicate with Lord Meijun? "

The Queen Mother asked like this again, and the courtiers who came to discuss the matter lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

Seeing that they were silent, the Queen Mother sneered again: "Now you are not criticizing the Ai family because they are women? So, you have nothing to say?"

"Wei Chen is terrified!"

The ministers who were suspected by the Queen Mother knelt down and kowtowed, but their actions did not cause any ripples in the Queen Mother's heart.

She was very jealous at the moment.

She is jealous of Mayberry, she is jealous of Meiyou, she is jealous of women who are also labeled as having weird behaviors but are freer than herself.

···
"Oh my God? Even Sangzizhou has surrendered to 'me'?" Mei Mei, who has been returning to Xianyao since late summer, is still in Yanzhou, but her current location is only across a river from Xianyao.

Later, when Yan Pingguan and the King of Wei were plundering territory, Mei Bei basically just fought with them and she followed. Mei Bei thought that it would be great if she could go back before late autumn.

She hadn't received any news from Xie Changxu in the past few months, and this was a big one.

"When Yanpingguan was besieged, His Highness felt that it was beyond his reach, so he thought that instead of sending troops to support, it would be better to go south to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

King Wei's deployment in the east took a lot of effort. Even if Yanping Pass was moved this time, the previous deployment in Xuanzhou remained untouched. "

Jiajiu told Mayberry the news he got.

"It can be seen that the King of Wei attaches great importance to the east. His Royal Highness Yu joined the head of the Gu family to send troops to completely capture Sangzi Prefecture."

"It seems like the ship hasn't been built yet, right?"

Meiberry was still thinking about her previous plan to use sea ships to attack south. Is it possible that the ships have been built?
"No, it was the head of the Gu family who borrowed your name from Sangzi Prefecture."

"Eh?"

When Meiberry heard that there was something about herself involved, she was shocked: "My name?"

"Well, after all, you are now the lord of Xianyao's state, aren't you?"

When Jiajiu said this, Meiberry laughed sheepishly. She didn't expect that her reputation would be so useful.

"That's right. Now that Sangzizhou has been sorted out, we have to consider the matter in Zhuzhou."

What Mei Berry said was obviously to go back and continue causing trouble.

Meiberry still remembers the risk that Sangzizhou will fall if Zhuzhou cannot be defeated. This is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over Meiberry's head.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, she asked Jiajiu about the time of her return this time. Jiajiu smiled and said that Meiyou had already made arrangements and would send Meiberry back to Xianyao in two days.

He also said that Meiberry would probably be able to catch up with Xianyao’s autumn harvest when he returned.

"What a great feeling, Xianyao's autumn harvest!"

By coincidence, Mei Youqian and Wei Meimei also came over at this time. After hearing Mei Pei tell them the good news, Mei Youqian mentioned the scene of Xianyao's autumn harvest season.

Mei Youqian, who had participated in the autumn harvest, had something to say, and talked about the grand autumn harvest in Xianyao.

"This year sweet potatoes and potatoes have been spread throughout Xianyao, and it will definitely be more lively this year."

When Mei Youqian said this, Mei Berry nodded in agreement.

Everyone’s mood is very high during spring planting, let alone now.

"Oh, right!"

Mei Bei suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Jiajiu and asked, "Is it too late to invite those big merchants who come to Xianyao in the spring to come and see Xianyao's autumn harvest time?"

"I heard from Jia Qi that His Highness has made arrangements. After the Gu Family Patriarch cooperated to capture Sangzi Prefecture, the Gu Family Patriarch sent some people to Xianyao to learn the new laws of Xianyao. I heard that they had to wait until the autumn harvest. Leave later.”

"Is there a new law?"

Mei Bei didn't expect that Xie Changzhen had done so many things in the three months since she left.

"Since you, Junjun, are not strict in selecting your petty officials and choose women, you will naturally protect them later, right?"

When Jiajiu said that, Meiberry nodded repeatedly.

If it weren't for Yan Pingguan, Mei Bei would really be doing these things during this period.

It's just that Mei Mei didn't expect that Xie Changxun would continue to do these things after she left.

"Is there an annual review by the junior officials after the autumn harvest?"

Mayberry sniffed movedly and asked about the business again.

"It should be, according to the standard that the Lord said at the beginning that the exam should be reviewed once a year and tested every three years, it is indeed the case."

"Okay, let's go back and finalize the review so we can report our results to everyone."

It is rare to see Mei Youqian and Wei Meimei look so serious like Mei Bei, and they couldn't help but secretly sigh that their daughters have grown up...

Mei Youqian & Wei Meili: Baby has grown up~
Xie Changxu: You can marry home~
Mei Youqian:?

Wei Meili:?
