The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

When Dongfang Shuo and his wife were still on their way back to Beijing, the news of Yanzhou City's victory had already reached the palace.

"The Third Prince and his wife used a unique tactic to flood Lan City, and the 100,000 troops led by Nie He were completely wiped out."

When the emperor heard the news, he was very pleased.

Soon, the news spread throughout the palace, and the confined Concubine Zheng also got the news. She was so excited that her slender body trembled slightly, and she held Nuoqing's hand tightly.

"Victory, my son won the battle." Concubine Zheng cried with joy, tears falling one by one.

"Yes, master, the third prince has won the battle, and your hard days are over." Nuo Qing said.

In the past, when Concubine Zheng was still a noble concubine or a concubine, she called her master "Madam", but now that her master has been demoted to a noble lady, she dare not call her a noble lady, so she has to call her master.

"This was our last chance after hitting rock bottom. Fortunately, he succeeded." Concubine Zheng let out a long breath, straightened her back, and looked out the door. She had the aura that she was about to take advantage of her son's winning momentum to inflict great damage.

"Shuo'er's princess consort is really capable and can help him win the battle." Concubine Zheng said: "When Chu Heyi dealt with us like that, he certainly didn't expect that Shuo'er and Runxue could defeat Nanqi's army in the southern border."

She gritted her teeth, murderous intent flashing in her eyes: "Nuoqing, I want to step on Chu Heyi to stand on a high place and prepare a celebration banquet for my son."

Nuo Qing knelt down and said, "I will obey your orders, my master."

Concubine Zheng: "Find someone to go to the streets of Shengjing City and spread the word about the talents of the Third Prince and his wife. Let the people know that the Southern Border of Daqi is protected by the Third Prince and his wife. Without the Third Prince and his wife, the Southern Border will be destroyed and Daqi will be in danger."

She wanted to let all the court officials know how capable her son was, and asked them to join her son's camp.

Even if some court officials do not join her son's camp, when he is on the road to succession in the future, they will not stop him because of his talent.

She also wanted to let the people know that her son was protecting their safety, and capable and ambitious people would take the initiative to assist her son.

Nuo Qing responded: "Yes! I will definitely get it done!"

Nuoqing got up and left.

Concubine Zheng sat on a chair, stroking her clean but bare nails.

Ever since she was demoted and grounded, she stopped taking care of her nails and spent her days in a daze. But now, she finally had the mood to take care of them again.

She wanted to dress herself up beautifully and wait for her son to return home.

Her son had won the battle, and the Queen and the Crown Prince must be very nervous. She wanted to stand in front of the Queen and the Crown Prince beautifully and let them know that temporary gains and losses meant nothing, and as long as her son was capable, he would be able to turn the tables sooner or later.

Under the instruction of Concubine Zheng, Nuo Qing did a great job. Before Dongfang Shuo and his wife returned to Shengjing City, the whole city was already filled with legends about them.

"I heard that Nanqi's army has been clamoring outside Yanzhou City for two months, but Deputy General Xue has remained calm and has not responded to the attack. He has only led his soldiers to secretly dig a canal!"

"When the flood submerged Lan City, the Nanqi army was still sleeping soundly, not knowing what day it was!"

"They have all learned a lesson from their previous arrogance!"

"Those soldiers who were previously very dissatisfied with the Third Prince and his wife, after this battle, all obeyed orders obediently and admired the Third Prince and his wife very much."

"But then again, the last time the Third Prince's army was annihilated in the battle in the North, when I learned that he had volunteered to go to the battlefield in the South, I was very worried for the soldiers and civilians in Yanzhou City. I thought they were going to follow the Third Prince to their deaths again. I apologize for my thoughts at that time."

"The Third Prince suffered a defeat once, so he would not allow himself to suffer a second defeat. The Third Prince is still very capable, having won two out of three wars."

"But... don't you think that flooding Lan City is too cruel? More than 100,000 innocent people died in Lan City alone."

The person who said this was immediately spitted at.

"Do you think that after the Nanqi army captures Yanzhou City, they will treat the people of Yanzhou City well?"

"If the Third Prince and his wife hadn't flooded Lan City, how many soldiers would Daqi have to sacrifice to win? You don't have any relatives fighting in the southern border?"

From then on, no one in Shengjing City dared to express a different opinion.

There were only countless scholars who wrote poems and songs to praise Dongfang Shuo and his wife for this battle, which was truly beautifully fought.

During this period, it rained every other day in Shengjing City. People gathered in study rooms and teahouses and couldn't help talking about this matter.

For a time, Dongfang Shuo and his wife became famous.

But there is another thing that worries everyone, that is, the rain has lasted too long.

Some people said: "If the heavy rain continues like this, I'm afraid Shengjing City will also be flooded."

Some naive people immediately said, "Shengjing City is where the emperor lives. It is guarded by dragon energy. How could there be a flood?"

An old man sighed, "Even where the emperor lives, floods are possible. When I was your age, Shengjing City was flooded once. You didn't see the tragic scene at that time. The corpses were scattered for thousands of miles.

“Not only did the flood kill people, but after the flood, a plague broke out, infecting hundreds of thousands of people, and even the princes and princesses in the palace were not spared.

"For a long time afterwards, the number of people in Daqi dropped sharply. It was only in the past few years that the number of people increased."

The old man said, "I see that the rainfall this year is about the same as last year. If it doesn't stop raining in the next two days, those who can move out of Shengjing City should do so as soon as possible. It won't be too late to come back after avoiding this heavy rain."

The old man's words spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Many people heard it, and many elderly people also confirmed that what the old man said was true. The people in Shengjing City began to panic, and the heavy rain showed no signs of slowing down.

When Concubine Zheng heard the news, she suddenly thought of a good idea and called Nuoqing to her side.

"Go out and spread a message saying that last year, the daughter Chu Heyi, who was brought back from the countryside by the Zhenbei Marquisate, proposed that the emperor dig a canal, and she emptied the national treasury because of it. I think she has a way to prevent the flood in Shengjing this year, so don't worry."

Nuo Qing frowned: "It was Chu Heyi who caused you and the Third Prince to fall to the bottom, why is the master helping Chu Heyi now?"

Concubine Zheng sneered, "I have learned that water conservancy construction cannot be completed in a short period of time. And I have inquired about it. The emperor has not received any news yet that the canal dug on the Qingya River can be used.

"Think about it. Chu Heyi emptied the national treasury to do this, and in the end Shengjing City was still flooded. Didn't she become a sinner in the eyes of the people? Even if the emperor didn't kill her because of her military achievements at the Zhenbei Marquisate, the people would kill her."

She was previously thinking about how to step on Chu Heyi and celebrate her son's success, but the opportunity came so soon.

Nuo Qing nodded excitedly: "I will do it right away."
