I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 350: The Fish Dies and the Net Breaks (asking for monthly ticket)

Gui Dynasty, Qinzhou.

Ever since the battle in Tangyuan County, when the people of Yunzhou witnessed with their own eyes the puppeteer of the ghost theater troupe killing Sang Mulan and capturing Yin Tong, internal strife broke out between Yunzhou and the Qianshou Army.

The ghost troupe behind the Qianshou Army couldn't find the puppeteer and the ghost boy. Even if they told the truth, the people in Yunzhou wouldn't believe it. The ghost wives and poison masters following the army received orders from Yunzhou to evacuate.

The Qianshou army, which had been unstoppable, lost the assistance of the Yunzhou ghost lady and the poison master, and its morale plummeted.

The armies of Jingzhou, Jinzhou and Jiangzhou of the Xuan Dynasty pressed forward with the muskets developed by the Firearms Battalion and surrounded the city from two sides. The Qianshou Army, a motley crowd of ordinary people, was no match for the regular army and was beaten back step by step, gradually retreating towards Yunzhou.

Also accompanying the army this time was Qiu Wanjun, a general guarding Jingzhou. To protect the emperor's safety, Jingzhou always arranged two generals to guard the city. There was also a female general who accompanied the empress dowager.

After Qiu Wanjun led the army into Qinzhou, he went straight to Dongyang County where He Buning was located and brought He Buning a verbal order from the emperor, summoning He Buning to lead the Qinzhou Zhenxie Division to return to the capital at night to reward them according to their merits.

Ever since the incident in Wangshan City, He Buning always felt that he was at fault. He never thought that the emperor did not blame him but rewarded him instead.

The emperor has issued an edict and we have to obey it. He Buning immediately sent a message to the night patrol envoys on duty in various places in Qinzhou, asking them to hand over to the troops from Jingzhou and prepare to follow him into the capital.

Before leaving, He Buning was still worried about two things. One was that Sang Que and Xia Chan had not returned yet, and the other was that the thing Sang Que wanted was now in Qiu Wanjun's hands.

He Buning originally wanted to take Sang Que back to Shengjing, but now he had no idea how to contact Sang Que.

After waiting for several days, Qiu Wanjun was about to set out with the army to pursue the Qianshou army, and he kept urging He Buning to leave as soon as possible.

In desperation, He Buning could only leave a few secret codes on the wall where Xia Chan and Sang Que lived, hoping that Sang Que would see them when he came back.

During the summer solstice, why not lead the Qinzhou night envoys to the capital to meet the emperor?

……

Jinzhou, Mingyue Mountain.

It was a hot summer day, the sun was scorching, the golden wheat waves were rolling in the wind, and the heavy wheat ears were bending the wheat stalks.

In the fields, the mountain farmers, wearing straw hats, coarse linen clothes, holding sharp sickles, bent down, and vigorously cut handfuls of wheat. The women and children following behind tied the cut wheat into bundles, and the children laughed and played, picking up the scattered ears of wheat in the fields.

Yu Da and a few old men stood by the field, checking the wheat ears.

"I have been farming all my life, but I have never seen ears of wheat so full. Look at the grains. Every grain is so full. There is not a single rotten or shrunken one."

Another old man picked up a few ears of wheat and put them in his mouth, chewing them carefully, his face wrinkled with smile.

"It smells really good. If this is ground into flour, the steamed buns made from it will probably smell so good that the fragrance will spread ten miles away."

Yu Da stood by and smiled, "This is all because of the good feng shui of Mingyue Mountain. Goddess Xuannv has blessed us with good weather and good harvests. When the new wheat is ground into flour and the steamed buns are ready, don't forget to offer a few to Goddess Xuannv as well."

The old men nodded with a smile, "Of course."

In the wheat fields, the heat was rising and people's clothes were already soaked, but their eyes were full of joy and expectation.

“This wheat is growing so well!”

"Yes, thanks to the blessing of the Goddess Xuannv, we will have enough food to survive the winter this year!"

The middle-aged man responded, his sickle in his hand never stopped, and he even worked harder and harder. At noon, dark clouds gathered in the south of Qinzhou. People who were resting in the fields were afraid that it would rain and soak the wheat that had been dried with great difficulty, so they didn't dare to rest. They drank a few sips of water and then threw themselves into the intense harvesting.

Yu Da took two of his men to inspect the farmlands in the mountains to check on the wheat harvest. His position in the mountains now is equivalent to that of a county magistrate, and he is in charge of all miscellaneous matters.

It was already dark before dusk, and Liu Tianyou was worried about rain, so he asked the two brothers Luo Danian and Luo Dayong to lead the guards in Bagua City to disperse to various farmlands to help with the harvest.

Bells rang one after another as Wan He rang the bells to drive out the zombies in the corpse-raising ground and helped move the harvested wheat to the temporary shed.

Finally, before sunset, more than 90% of the wheat fields in the mountains were harvested.

Everyone drove ox carts, pulling the abundant wheat harvest, to the unified threshing ground, where a waterwheel mill had been built that could grind the wheat into flour directly after husking and deliver it to everyone.

Liu Tianyou and Yu Da stood at the edge of the threshing ground, counting cartloads of wheat. Liu Tianyou silently calculated in his mind that this summer could be considered a bumper harvest. Just with the few hundred acres of arable land in the mountains, the output would probably be several times higher than the thousands of acres of arable land in Jinzhou.

With this batch of grain in the warehouse, Sangque won’t have to worry about food anymore as long as they manage it well.

"Where did this girl get the seeds of grain? The yield is so amazing." Yu Da couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Tianyou was also very curious, "There must be something complicated behind our boss."

This bumper harvest, coupled with the deliberate guidance of Liu Tianyou and Yu Da, made those people in the mountains who originally had other beliefs increasingly identify with Goddess Xuannv, and the incense of Xuannv Temple became increasingly prosperous.

"The weather in the south seems a little strange. I wonder how this girl is doing in Qinzhou."

Yu Dayan looked towards the dark clouds in the direction of Qinzhou with worry in his eyes.

"Something is wrong indeed."

Yao Zhen's voice came from behind the two of them. She frowned and stared at the sky to the south. She glanced around and found a high place.

Yaozhen took out a yellow talisman with his two fingers, threw it into the air, and the whole person disappeared, leaving only the burnt paper ashes floating in the air.

Yaozhen stood on a high place and looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were rushing towards Qinzhou from all directions like surging black water. The thick dark clouds pressed against each other, forming a heart-pounding darkness.

The surrounding branches were shaking and the wind was gradually getting stronger. In just a moment it was as fierce as the howling of a ghost, tearing everything apart madly.

Rumble!
Thunder rumbled, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and lightning flashed through the dark clouds, bringing a thrilling flash of paleness.

The scene around Yaozhen suddenly turned into an ink painting. Among a large inky tree, Liu Tianyou pulled Yu Da out, dispelled the ghost realm, and restored everything to normal.

"There must have been some changes in Qinzhou. This scene is even bigger than when Yin Tong massacred Fengning City." Yao Zhen said quickly to the two of them.

The terrain on their side is higher, while the terrain on Qinzhou's side is lower, so their line of sight is almost level with the sky of Qinzhou.

Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and at the moment the darkness was torn apart, a corner of a huge mask that was large enough to cover the entire Qinzhou appeared.

Yao Zhen's heart skipped a beat, "Oh no! The ghost troupe must be planning to fight to the death!"

Yu Da and Liu Tianyou also felt bad, especially Yu Da. Although his level was almost dropped to the fourth level, his senses were still sharper than Yao Zhen and Liu Tianyou.

"When the city gate catches fire, everyone in the pond will be affected. Gather everyone to Bagua City, quickly!"

I feel better after taking the medicine. Except for the sore throat, everything else is not serious. Thank you for your concern~
