Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The State of Jing was under pressure from the army of the State of Sheng. Many old officials in the court still remembered the great defeat more than ten years ago. If they had not made a prompt decision to send the person in front of them to the State of Sheng as a hostage, they would have had to pay taxes for several years.

Therefore, most of the voices in the court were calling for Tan Tai Jin to withdraw his troops and defend himself.

But Tan Tai Jin felt that since there would be a war between Jing and Sheng sooner or later, it might as well be now. Anyway, the two countries were in similar situations in all aspects and their disadvantages were very obvious. It would probably not take much time to decide the winner, and the people would have a chance to recuperate as soon as possible.

Therefore, Tan Tai Jin directly ordered a personal expedition, intending to use the whole country's strength to decide the outcome with Sheng State.

After Sheng Kingdom received the news that Tan Tai Jin was leading the army in person, Emperor Sheng directly appointed Xiao Lin as the crown prince and ordered Xiao Lin to go to the border in person to fight against Tan Tai Jin in his place.

Since the war between the two countries was inevitable, Xiao Lin simply accepted the imperial edict and led his troops to war.

Emperor Sheng personally supervised the affairs at the rear. Ye Bingshang, the newly appointed Crown Prince's concubine, also took over all the affairs previously handled by Xiao Lin. She wanted to become Xiao Lin's backup.

Emperor Sheng had not yet designated the Prince's Mansion, so Xiao Lin simply changed the plaque of Xuancheng Prince's Mansion to Prince's Mansion. This made it convenient for Ye Bingshang to do things. Now the two of them spent more time together to discuss things in the outside world, and their relationship was even more harmonious and intimate than when they were newly married.

Ye Bingshang also found her own position in these busy things. Especially when she saw that Jiang Xinxin was still in charge of her own business after getting married, she learned from herself that a woman should not confine herself to the backyard.

She even glimpsed the importance of enlightening people from Jiang Xinxin's act of adopting young children and the elderly. However, she had too many things on her hands now. She had secretly set aside a portion of her annual dowry income, waiting for the time when the world was at peace. She would personally supervise an academy that would accept both men and women to study.

In the capital, almost everyone realized that this would be a major war. Even the playboys who usually lingered on the streets became quieter. Ye Bingshang, of course, hoped for Sheng Kingdom's victory, and even more so for Xiao Lin's safe return. Then she would tell Xiao Lin all her thoughts, and Xiao Lin would definitely support her with all his strength.

On the battlefield, Tan Tai Jin indeed first used the secret blood method of the Yi Yue tribe to summon birds and beasts to act as his vanguard, and even severely injured General Ye Xiao, who was unable to fight again.

Xiao Lin, one of the vanguards, managed to resist the attack of birds and beasts with the help of magic, but Sheng Kingdom still suffered heavy casualties and lost a city.

When the news reached the capital, Emperor Sheng was of course very dissatisfied with Ye Xiao. He complained about him in front of the court officials and strictly ordered Ye Qingyu to advance and not retreat. This made everyone in the General's Mansion feel a lot of pressure. Even the Grand Princess could only burn incense every day and beg the gods to bless her children and grandchildren. The most important thing was that the child born by Jiang Xianxian was sent out of the General's Mansion by the Grand Princess in the name of reuniting mother and child.

Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying have gathered many refugees who fled from the border. Most of them are the elderly, the weak, women and children. All the able-bodied men have been drafted into the army. Fortunately, there is still an adequate supply of food and grass, and most people still have hope for Sheng Kingdom. Xiao Lin, in particular, has resisted the birds and beasts of Tan Tai Jin, which is even more encouraging.

But others always want to escape to a safe place.

To house so many people, food is necessary, and even more so, people must be forced to work. Otherwise, with so many people gathered together, there is always the chance that they will become restless and cause trouble.

Jiang Xinxin simply picked out those who could read or do math and asked them to teach children under the age of ten who were not convenient to work, regardless of gender.

If the younger women have a skill, they are supported to work and earn money. If they don't know anything, they are either arranged to work on construction sites or to cook for others.

The elderly who are still able to move are arranged to do some chores like washing and cutting vegetables in the kitchen; those who are unable to move are asked to take care of children under three years old.

In short, we need to ensure that the vast majority of people here have something to do and don't sit around and think about random things.

Shi Ying was fine. After all, he had been the emperor of the heaven for many years and was in charge of all affairs in the mortal world. Being busy was the norm and he had long been used to it.

Even though Jiang Xinxin was extremely talented and had embarked on the path to immortality, she still felt exhausted after a long time. Mother Chen was a completely mortal and was also old, so the feeling was even more obvious and she almost fell seriously ill.

But even though their family had tried so hard, they could not withstand the continuous defeats on the front line. It was said that Tan Tai Jin not only used birds and beasts as vanguards, but also recruited a fox spirit that escaped from the abyss.

Pang Yizi rushed to the front line just for the vixen. Shi Ying calculated several times, but this world and the heaven were becoming more and more chaotic. He could still keep calm, but Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but want to go to the front line to see what was happening.

Shi Ying saw that Jiang Xinxin was getting impatient and quickly stopped her: "Xinxin, do you remember our original intention? War is just a continuation of the power struggle. You and I cannot interfere in the war between the two countries. It is already great that we can properly resettle those displaced people."

Jiang Xinxin took a few deep breaths to calm her anxious mood, and followed Shi Ying's strength to sit next to him. However, as soon as she spoke, she still revealed her suppressed anger: "But I always feel that those so-called gods and demons have already ended the game, and even their chess pieces are already in place. If I still want to kill the god behind the person who took over the body, I must join the game now."

Shi Ying felt extremely distressed. He was a person who lived outside this world. If he didn't have Jiang Xinxin as a bond, he would have been strangled by the world's heaven at the first opportunity. Now that he could offer conditions in exchange, he was already benefiting from Jiang Xinxin. But for him, if he could have less karma on his hands, there was no need to commit the sin of killing.

Jiang Xinxin was different. Although her soul also came from the outside world, since she was reincarnated in the right way, the Heavenly Dao of this side considered her to be one of their own, and even welcomed the arrival of people like her. Therefore, Shi Ying felt that the so-called exchange conditions he had made with the Heavenly Dao were actually only an aid to Jiang Xinxin, and the person who really took action had to be Jiang Xinxin.

But if Jiang Xinxin leaves, no one else can take over the huge mess in his hands except him, so he just feels very embarrassed, "Xinxin, maybe we can wait until the war is over?"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless. "I don't believe you didn't have a premonition. If I missed this war, I really wouldn't know how to get involved."

In other words, if they miss the current opportunity, it may be too late for them to join the game.

Shi Ying had already agreed to Jiang Xinxin going to the border alone, but he couldn't help but rub against her and be reluctant to leave. Jiang Xinxin felt that Shi Ying's sticky appearance was both annoying and funny. "Have you forgotten that you have a profound cultivation? No matter how far the border is, it's not enough for you to fly back and forth in an hour?"

Shi Ying generously admitted that he was spoiled by Jiang Xinxin, but he didn't want to change, "How can it be the same? Even if you were not in front of me before, we were still under the same roof. Now, even if the distance is not far, I can't just turn around and see you."

Here, the young couple were still reluctant to part and expressing their love to each other. Over in the wilderness, Li Susu had already learned from the disappearing God of the Universe, Ze, the method to destroy the evil bones: a dream, a tear, and a wisp of silk.

Zeus told Li Susu: "That dream will come soon; that tear is the first tear shed by the demon god because of love; as for that strand of silk, it will help the demon god open his heart."

“At that time, that teardrop will be able to transform into nine divine nails. Only by driving these nine divine nails into the heart of the demon fetus can we destroy the demon bone and save the three realms and four continents.”
