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

Chu Heyi said: "I want Chengwang Mansion to be my residence!"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that she would make such a request.

The Prince Cheng's Palace was built by his father after he was enthroned as the Prince Cheng. It symbolizes his identity and status.

Chu Heyi actually wants it!

She even said she would use it as her mansion!

How dare she!

No one in the Chu family told her that this idea would cost her her head? She was jumping on the imperial power!

That’s not right. My father has already promised that he must fulfill whatever Chu Heyi requests.

In other words, if the emperor knew that Chu Heyi asked for his mansion, he would have no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo's face turned pale and blue. If he gave the Chengwang Mansion to Chu Heyi, would he still have the face to stay in Shengjing in the future?

This woman is mean and hateful. Knowing that she can't marry him, she wants to live in his mansion to fulfill her fantasy of becoming a princess.

Dongfang Shuo felt so sick that he wanted to vomit!

"It's fine to give you the Chengwang Mansion, but it was built by my father for me, and it represents the royal family. If you, the daughter of a general, move in, I'm afraid people will gossip about you. Miss Heyi, please change your request. I'm doing this for your own good."

Chu Heyi sighed: "I just want to live in the Chengwang Mansion! It's so grand!"

She was like a country girl who had never seen the world. When she saw the magnificent mansion, she wanted to live there!

Dongfang Shuo looked at the Chu family members behind her, and no one of them stopped her!

"I can build a mansion for you!"

Chu Heyi's eyes lit up: "Is it as magnificent as Prince Cheng's Mansion?"

"Of course!"

"Then...can I choose the location myself?"

"can!"

"I want that piece of land in Xining!"

Xining? Dongfang Shuo frowned. That place was outside the west of Shengjing City. There stood a tall mountain. The mountain was undulating like a beast lying between heaven and earth.

The area is rocky and densely planted. Behind the mountain is a river. On the mountain opposite the river lives a group of bandits. As a result, few people go there. As a result, the area is really as peaceful as its name suggests.

Ordinary people would never go there unless they had something to do.

"I was riding with my elder brother before and passed by Xining. We saw towering mountains, lush trees and few people. My elder brother said there was a river running behind the mountain and the scenery was beautiful. I thought it would be nice if we could build a villa here."

Dongfang Shuo laughed and said, "If you build a house there, just wait to be torn apart by wild beasts. Even if you don't encounter wild beasts, you will be kidnapped by robbers sooner or later!"

"Okay, I'll give you the land in Xining!"

"Then I will wait for His Royal Highness King Cheng to send me the document with the official seal and the emperor's personal seal. But I have one more request."

"Say!"

"Since the land of Xining has been given to me, then everything on that land belongs to me, including every blade of grass, every mountain, every stone, and even every insect and animal!"

"no problem!"

"Fourth brother, please write a deed for me, just as I said just now. Please ask His Royal Highness Prince Cheng to bring it to the palace, and ask the emperor to stamp it and sign it personally, and then send it to me together with the deed to Xining."

Dongfang Shuo frowned: "Why bother? Since I have said that all the things above are yours, naturally no one dares to snatch them!"

Others naturally didn't dare to rob it, but what if there was something the emperor needed? Wouldn't the emperor take it away?

All the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.

She would only feel at ease if the emperor signed it personally.

"Your Highness's promise is certainly trustworthy, but today only my Chu family and the two Highnesses are present. If the two Highnesses go out together and are not in the capital tomorrow, I will be working on the land of Xining. If I dig up precious herbs, people of high status will want to snatch them away. And there is no one to testify for me that the land and everything on it is mine. What should I do?"

Dongfang Shuo was very angry when he saw the determination in her eyes and her refusal to back down.

However, he realized that his wound was too serious and there seemed to be more blood than before, so he had to hurry back home to recuperate.

"I will take your deed to the palace and ask my father to sign it and seal it, and then send it to you!"

Chu Heyi bowed and saluted: "Then I would like to thank Your Highness!"

Chu Ren immediately went to the study to write the contract, and handed it to Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo asked Yu Liang to take it and leave.

When he returned home, he found that his wound had indeed opened up a lot, and the blood had soaked his robe. The wound that had been healing for two days was completely ruined and was even more serious than before.

Worried that the document for the land was delivered too late and that the Chu family would spread rumors that were unfavorable to him, he asked King Rui'an to help him bring the document into the palace and ask his father to sign and seal it in person.

After all, it was the emperor who asked Dongfang Shuo to agree to Chu Heyi's request, so the emperor did not refuse to sign and seal.

After all, it's just a piece of land of 100 acres, not worth much.

The land deed and the written contract were quickly delivered to Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi looked at the signature and seal on it, lowered her eyes and smiled. This was what she really wanted.

When Chu Heyi looked up, his face was calm: "Thank you, Guard Yu, for making the trip. Go back and tell your prince that from now on, I, Chu Heyi, have nothing to do with his marriage, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on!"

Yu Liang bowed to her, clasped his fists, and turned to leave.

Chu Ren came over and asked her, "Sister, what are you going to do with that piece of land in Xining?"

Chu Heyi told them at the beginning that her target was that piece of land, not the Prince Cheng’s mansion at all.

Chu Zhen and Chu Yi both looked at her curiously.

Chu Heyi did not answer them, but brought up another topic: "Brother, the reason why the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been able to harass our border so many times in recent years is because their cavalry is very powerful."

Chu Yi nodded: "Yes!"

The cavalry of Daqi was too weak, not because of the soldiers, but because of their horses and poor riding skills.

The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were very good at fighting on horseback, and their horses were tall and strong.

In terms of cavalry, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. When the Northern Zhou harassed the border, they always lost a lot of soldiers and a lot of food.

They hated the Northern Zhou Dynasty extremely, but they could do nothing about it.

Especially in the past few years, they have basically defended with their lives.

Chu Yi couldn't help but think that if this situation continued, he would have to die in Changqing City in order to stop the Northern Zhou cavalry from breaking through Changqing City.

What happens after he dies?

Chu Yi didn't even dare to think about it.

"I have two things here that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the Daqi cavalry." Chu Heyi said.

"What?" Chu Yu asked.

Not only was he stunned, even Chu Zhen and Chu Ren found it unbelievable.

The four of them came to the study, and Chu Heyi picked up a pen and drew two things on the paper.

"This is called a stirrup. It can be hung on both sides of the saddle as a footrest. When the soldiers are riding on the horse, they have something to step on, so they can use their waist and hips to exert strength, and it is no problem to shoot arrows with a bow or chop with a long sword."

After listening to it, Chu Yi fixed his eyes on the manuscript, feeling incredible. It seemed like a very simple thing, but no one had ever brought it up before.

He could almost imagine how the soldiers would exert their strength on horseback with stirrups.

He looked at the manuscript, then at Chu Heyi, and was extremely excited. He took another piece of paper and asked, "What about this? What is it for?"
