I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Go light a few big fireworks to warm up and make everyone happy."

"Wait a minute, let's each have a Gatling gun and play together."

She bought super-doubled Gatling guns, one of which can fire for 10 minutes.

When it comes to setting off fireworks, the more the better.

It’s more fun when everyone plays together.

The children listened to Lin Yiran's words and stared at the various fireworks piled in the corridor with bright eyes.

From what the master said, these things seem to be very interesting.

"Yes!" Lin Changshou responded with a smile, turned around and asked the Lin family army to move the huge fireworks to the open space in the yard.

After the fireworks were lined up, Lin Changshou led seven members of the Lin family army and walked over holding torches.

After carefully lighting the fuse, everyone tacitly jumped back into the corridor.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss~"

The fuse flickered and burned rapidly.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the rapidly burning fuse, their hearts pounding nervously.

With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, the fireworks were launched, followed by a few "whoosh" sounds, and the fireworks shot up into the sky.

Then with a few "teng teng teng" sounds, it flew into the sky.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky. (Photo from Fireworks.net)

"Wow~~~!!!"

“Ahhh, so beautiful!!!”

Everyone stared at the colorful fireworks in the sky with wide eyes, and bursts of exclamations burst out of their mouths.

The fireworks were still crackling and exploding, and the flickering light shone on everyone's face, and every frame was filled with a smile of surprise.

After one wave ended, Lin Changshou immediately led people to light the second wave of fireworks.

The sky, which had just been quiet, became lively again.

The violent explosion woke up all the residents within ten kilometers of the Wu Ma family's residence.

Everyone wrapped themselves up, walked into the yard, and looked up at the sky curiously.

Seeing that the noise came from the Wu Ma family, everyone couldn't help but sigh,

"Only the Wu Ma family could make such a big fuss."

"What is this? It's pretty nice."

"Hiss~ I'm freezing, but it's really pretty and bright."

"..."

After watching the excitement in their yard for a few minutes, everyone couldn't stand the severe cold and ran back into the house.

At this time, Lin Yiran was already holding a Gatling gun and started firing at the Lin family army.

Everyone knew some martial arts skills and were running around the yard.

Sometimes it jumped to the top of the wall, sometimes it jumped to the roof.

This is because the Wu Ma family’s yard is big enough, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to play freely.

There was a constant sound of tapping in Snow City, and everyone was extremely happy.

Back in the Imperial City, the Empress was so angry that she was fuming.

With a "crack", the cup broke and ceramic fragments scattered all over the floor.

The ministers kneeling on the ground dodged reflexively, lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

"You bunch of losers!"

The empress glared at the ministers with red eyes.

"You only got the news after the enemy had already reached Chiyan City."

"What's the point of me raising you!!!"

It was freezing cold and she had already lain down when suddenly an urgent letter arrived, traveling eight hundred miles.

When I opened it, I saw that it was sent by Shi Jian from Huanlian City.

Cong Chongqiu rebelled and, with the King of Zhenbei of Yongchang State, fought his way to Chiyan City.

She knew every word in the letter, but she didn't understand a word of it.

Where did Yongchang come from and who is the King of Zhenbei?

What country did Cong Chongqiu collude with to be able to advance from Xinyue City to Chiyan City with such unstoppable force in just over a month?

The key point is that all the soldiers in these cities are dead. She only knows about such a big thing now.

If she had known this earlier, she could have sent troops to stop them sooner, and prevented the enemy from attacking her at her doorstep.

Now we want to drive the enemy out, but we don’t know how heavy the losses will be.

Losing seven cities in a row was something that had never happened since the founding of the Western Liang Kingdom.

How could she face her ancestors?

The Minister of War replied with a sad face,

"Your Majesty, this is all the fault of the traitor Cong Chongqiu. How could the soldiers in the cities be on guard against Cong Chongqiu?"

"I believe that Cong Chongqiu must have tricked the cities into opening their gates, which is why we were able to reach Chiyan City so quickly."

When the other ministers heard this, they all followed suit.

"Yes, Cong Chongqiu deserves to be put to death, his entire clan should be exterminated, and his body should be torn into pieces by five horses!"

"Cong Chongqiu is guilty of treason and collusion with the enemy. His crime is unforgivable!"

"If it weren't for Cong Chongqiu leading the way, how could the Zhenbei King who appeared out of nowhere have fought so smoothly..."

"..."

The ministers seemed to have found an excuse to shirk responsibility and began to pin the blame on Cong Chongqiu.

"Shut up!" the empress shouted angrily, pursing her lips and staring at the bunch of trash in front of her.

They still have the nerve to blame Cong Chongqiu.

If they had not helped the Wu Ma family and forced her to issue an order to recall Cong Chongqiu, how could Cong Chongqiu betray her.

Now, once something happens, everyone has forgotten how they brought Cong Chongqiu down.

It is said that even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. They forced Cong Chongqiu to return to the imperial city to die, so how could Cong Chongqiu not rebel?

Besides, where did Cong Chongqiu get the nine clans? If he alone is well fed, his whole family will not be hungry. It is simply a dream to want to threaten Cong Chongqiu with the nine clans.

How could the people guarding the national border move at will? She was confused.

She really regretted listening to these idiots.

The empress glanced around and frowned at the female official, "Where are the people from the Wu Ma family?"

Why didn’t the Wu Ma family show up at the critical moment?

All this is because of the Wu Ma family.

The female official said, "Your Majesty, no one from the Wu Ma family has returned to the imperial city."

The empress's heart trembled, "Send someone to Lingxiao City to inform the Wu Ma family to return to the capital to discuss important matters."

It's been so long, haven't the Wu Ma family decided who will be the old patriarch?

When she thought about the day she left Lingxiao City and the terrible state in which the direct descendants of the Wu Ma family were beaten, she felt a headache.

After the death of the old patriarch, there was no one left in the Wu Ma family who could hold up the family.

After the female official left, the empress glared at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"Hurry up and think of a solution. If you can't come up with a good plan, all of you will go to Huanlian City to fight!"

".....Yes!" the ministers responded in a trembling voice.

What a sin.

An hour ago they were still happily discussing with their family how to celebrate the New Year, but now they are standing on the edge of a knife and their lives may be in danger at any time.

Damn Cong Chongqiu, he has caused them so much suffering.

The empress frowned as she looked at the letter on the table, her eyes fixed on the six words "Yongchang Kingdom, King of Zhenbei".

"Someone, go check immediately. Where did Yongchang come from? Who is the King of Zhenbei? What is the origin of the Heavenly God Army?"

"Yes!" the secret guard responded and quickly left the study.
