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

A new tomb was built in the Chu family's ancestral cemetery, and Chu Zhen's name was engraved on the tombstone.

The mourners left one after another, and the area around the ancestral tomb gradually became quiet, but Chu Heyi was still kneeling in front of his father's grave.

"Father, you are reunited with Mother now. Are you happy?" Chu Heyi stared at the tombstone standing in front of her without blinking. Tears as big as beans rolled down her face. She didn't care and let the tears fall on the ground in front of her.

"Father, is your death really just the fault of the prince? No, it is my responsibility, it is my sin."

She knew that she was angry at Xie Lin, but she couldn't control herself...

"On the day you left for the war, I had a premonition that something bad would happen to you, but I didn't go to get you back. I should have gone to get you back, I should have stopped you from going to Yizhou City. If I hadn't been relying on luck, you wouldn't have died."

A blizzard started in his head, and Chu Heyi banged his head hard on the ground, bang bang bang, until blood came out.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Chu Ren had already stood up, but immediately rushed to her and said, "If father knew you were doing this, he would never rest in peace in the underworld! Let father go with peace of mind, sister!"

Chu Ren thought that his tears had dried up, but now they rolled down again. Not only him, but the Second Madam and the others were all like this as well. Even everyone couldn't hold back their sadness and cried out loud again.

"I could have prevented my father's death, but I still watched him die. I am a sinner!" Chu Heyi did not struggle. Her whole body twitched. She was numb with pain and felt cold all over. She didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Even her voice was trembling.

"It's not you! Father must think it's an honor to die on the battlefield. Father's death has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself! If you are guilty, then as your brother, my guilt is greater than yours!"

Chu Ren found that Chu Heyi couldn't listen to anything he said, and she was in a very bad state, as if her sanity had completely left her.

This was definitely not a solution, Chu Ren hardened his heart and knocked Chu Heyi unconscious.

Chu Heyi fainted, but her tears were still flowing. She could not forgive herself. She could not forgive herself for not stopping her father from leaving that day.

She hates herself!

"Chu Zhen is dead, and Ding Sheng and Qin Yi are still fighting to defend Yizhou City. Yu Liang, tell me, when I kill them both and take over Yizhou City, will Xie Lin and Chu Heyi hate themselves for leaving them to die in Yizhou City today?" Dongfang Shuo asked his personal guard while riding on a horse.

At this time, they were already standing on the land of Yizhou City.

Yu Liang smiled softly and said, "Even if Xie Lin and Chu Heyi hated me at that time, it would be useless. The whole Daqi belongs to His Royal Highness King Cheng."

Dongfang Shuo laughed wildly. Runxue had told him this more than once. He couldn't help but stroke the magic crossbow in his hand.

He had seen crossbows in books before, but they were all types of crossbows, such as chariot crossbows and bed crossbows. Although they had a long range and great lethality, they were difficult to use and had high requirements for terrain.

The magic crossbow modified by Runxue is completely different. Even a novice only needs to practice for half an hour to become a magic crossbowman, and a magic crossbow army can be trained in a short time.

After aiming at the target, the bowstring needs to be kept fully pulled, but this is not necessary for the divine crossbow. After aiming at the target, you only need to pull the trigger and the crossbow arrow will be shot out. Moreover, the accuracy is much higher than that of the bow and arrow.

In the past, the range of crossbows was about 20 to 30 feet. Beyond this range, the lethality would be greatly weakened.

But now, the range of the magic crossbow in his hand has doubled. Only when the range exceeds fifty or sixty feet will the lethality be weakened.

Runxue said to him: "No matter how smart Chu Heyi and Xie Lin are, they can't build such a magic crossbow in a short time. With the magic crossbow soldiers, you will be invincible, and the world will eventually be yours!"

Before he set out for Yizhou City, most of the people in Yanzhou City and Lancheng were summoned by Runxue to make the magic crossbow, or to build city walls and repair roads.

Yanzhou City and Lan City are thriving. Because of Runxue's words "I will lead everyone to a better life", the local people have hope and are no longer stingy with food and clothing. After all, whether it is building city walls, repairing roads or making magic crossbows, there will be considerable income.

These incomes are enough to prove that - "Princess Cheng will not deceive us. She and Prince Cheng are really changing our lives. Maybe in the future our Yanzhou City can be as prosperous and wealthy as Shengjing City!"

Dongfang Shuo was naturally happy to see the state under his governance thriving, but he was a prince after all. He had experienced several wars and escaped death several times. He was not as short-sighted as the common people.

He noticed the prosperity of Yanzhou City and Lan City today. They were using future money and eating future food. He was very worried that they would run out of steam and would not be able to continue.

Although the crops in Yanzhou City and Lancheng grow well under the curved plow and square grid planting methods, they cannot withstand the food and money needed for the rapid development of the two provinces.

Dongfang Shuo told Runxue about his concerns. Unexpectedly, Runxue did not deny it. Instead, she acknowledged him and said, "Your concerns are correct."

"..." Dongfang Shuo was stunned on the spot.

Runxue looked at him and smiled: "So, you have to conquer the whole Daqi. The prefectures under the management of Xie Lin and Chu Heyi have a lot of food and a lot of silver. As long as you conquer Daqi, are you still worried that the people of Yanzhou City and Lancheng will have nothing to eat or use?"

Dongfang Shuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was indeed true.

Yanzhou City and Lancheng are just two cities. No matter how rich they are, they cannot compare to the vast territory in the hands of Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. Of course, they have to conquer that territory.

Runxue straightened his collar, looked up at him, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

She said: "My husband, your first battle will be Yizhou City. Take the divine crossbowmen with you. Take Yizhou City to feed our people first. The people of Yanzhou City and Lancheng and I will wait for good news from my husband."

Dongfang Shuo came just like that, and won the first battle, killing Chu Zhen and forcing Wen Tingshen off a cliff...

Since the day he was forced to flee to Yanzhou City, Dongfang Shuo has never been as happy as he is now.

Now, only Ding Sheng and Qin Yi were holding on. Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "Yu Liang, send a message to attack Yizhou City with me."

Dongfang Shuo's army is approaching.

Ding Sheng, Qin Yi and Liu Guang defended Yizhou City to the death, preventing Dongfang Shuo's army from advancing any further.

The battle between the two sides was in a stalemate, and countless casualties were suffered in Yizhou City. Liu Guang could not hold on any longer, so he opened the city gate without telling Ding Sheng and Qin Yi, and welcomed Dongfang Shuo's army into the city, and became Dongfang Shuo's subordinate.

Yizhou City fell.
