I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 754 Long Live the Emperor! (24)
The noise above was very faint, but some people with keen senses still noticed it and instinctively looked up.

The past two days have been cloudy, with dark clouds obscuring the moon, making visibility very poor at night.

It was even harder to see inside the jungle.

The group could only see several dark shadows in the tree, rushing towards them from above.

Before Timur could even cry for help, the shadowy figure made his move.

Moments later, a row of trees was covered with corpses.

They were all killed in one fell swoop, their throats slit.

Some soldiers didn't even realize what was happening, didn't look up, and were bewildered as their heads were separated from their bodies.

After the night raiders landed and confirmed that all the patrol soldiers had been eliminated, they looked around and exchanged hand gestures.

The team leader whistled.

He was imitating a bird call, which wouldn't sound too out of place in the jungle.

Before long, extremely faint rustling sounds could be heard throughout the jungle.

Tonight is destined to be a bloody night.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were destined to lose their lives here.

Either you die or I die.

----

Timur slept in the very center of the group.

This is to ensure that even in special circumstances, Timur will be protected.

Fortunately, tonight is no exception.

When Timur was awakened, the massacre was already halfway through.

The vast numbers of Jian Kingdom soldiers on the outskirts had already become victims of the sword in their sleep.

Some of the Jian people who regained consciousness were unable to react immediately and were also killed.

Timucheng stared at the corpses of his compatriots scattered on the ground, his eyes bloodshot and bloodshot with rage.

The Jian soldiers who were lucky enough to survive immediately jumped up, picked up their weapons, and instantly engaged in a fierce battle with the Cong soldiers.

"Those beasts! How did they know we were coming???"

Timucheng brandished his weapon while cursing loudly.

"Is there a traitor? Damn it, if I find out who betrayed us, I'll kill their whole family!!"

Timur was filled with resentment.

In his view, his plan was meticulous, his deployment was cautious, and everyone cooperated perfectly. There was no reason why Cong Guo would know about it, let alone have set up an ambush in advance.

There's only one possibility: there's a traitor inside!
But there was no time to think about it further, and now was not the time to look for the traitor.

Timucheng shouted loudly, and with the help of his trusted soldiers who risked their lives, he managed to carve out a path to survival.

The fierce battle continued until dawn.

As the sun rises and all things awaken, a new day begins, but for many, it marks the end of their lives.

The dawn's light illuminated the Yueqing Mountains and lit up this forest.

A strong smell of blood wafted through the air, becoming an inescapable odor of this morning.

After a final headcount, the Jian Kingdom was utterly defeated, suffering countless deaths and injuries.

They had over 100,000 soldiers on their mission, but only a few hundred managed to escape.

This included General Timucheng.

The news quickly reached the capital, and the entire court was jubilant.

After hearing that this was spearheaded by Yu Muhuai, all the civil and military officials showered him with praise.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty's wisdom and strategy are truly admirable!"

"Long live the Emperor!" Yu Muhuai, sitting on the high seat, nodded calmly.

Only then did the court officials realize what Yu Muhuai had been quietly doing on the border over the past few years.

To avoid alerting the enemy and to prevent disloyal ministers from tipping them off, Yu Muhuai secretly established a patrol force in the Yueqing Mountains.

All the patrol logs were handed over to her directly for her to review personally.

After the patrolling soldiers discovered that Jian Kingdom soldiers were lurking in the Yueqing Mountains, they immediately notified Yuyao Town and the Imperial City.

Yuyao Town is a military stronghold, garrisoned by tens of thousands of soldiers.

In addition, a secret assassination squad urgently dispatched from the capital was enough to catch Timur off guard.

Yu Muhuai sat upright on the dragon throne, his expression calm and his demeanor refined, as if he had everything under his control.

Thinking of the emperor's iron-fisted methods and strategic planning over the past few years, the ministers' admiration for him grew even stronger.

Afterwards, Yu Muhuai ordered that Temucheng be captured at all costs.

Life and death are not a concern!

It would be better to capture them alive; if we really can't catch one alive, then we should just kill them.

In the previous life, the Jian Kingdom army, under the leadership of Timucheng, fought with increasing ferocity and advanced rapidly.

Meanwhile, the Cong Kingdom suffered repeated defeats and was completely routed.

Many important soldiers of the Cong Kingdom were killed by this general.

Yu Muhuai could not leave behind such a powerful enemy to cause him trouble.

The area around the Yueqing Mountains is under tight security to prevent Timucheng from crossing the mountains again.

He fled in the direction of westward.

Yu Muhuai drew several routes on the border map, pointing out Timucheng's most likely escape route.

She then ordered the map to be sent to the border, instructing the border troops to pay close attention to these routes, increase checkpoints at various locations, and implement the strictest passage system.

The situation along the entire northwestern border immediately became tense due to Timur's escape.

After the court session, Yu Muhuai went straight to the Imperial Study, where she needed to continue discussing important matters with several ministers.

Since the national treasury had become quite full a few years ago, Yu Muhuai has acquired several sets of dragon robes.

Finally, I have new clothes to wear!

However, they were all the simplest dragon robes, made of medium-grade fabric and thread.

Having money doesn't mean you can squander it. As the ruler of a country, there are too many things to consider.

Fortunately, two years ago, Yu Muhuai found a silver mine in the southwest region. This was discovered by the Jian Kingdom's troops by chance after Wan Zhixin's death in the previous life.

Wan Zhixin's memories are actually quite vague, since he was in a spirit state at that time and his focus was on the fall of the country.

However, Yu Muhuai still managed to find clues about the silver mine from these few memories.

The silver mined from these mines quickly became the silver circulating in the market.

At that time, the southeastern coastal areas were actually quite wealthy.

They have a superior geographical location, abundant resources, sufficient rainfall, and high crop yields.

Both domestic and international trade are thriving.

However, in the previous life, due to chaotic taxation and frequent disasters and wars in the northern region, Wan Zhixin was unable to take care of the southeastern region and failed to make full use of its resources.

People in the southeast region have money and resources, but they can't just do charity for nothing and give back to people in other places without asking for anything in return.

But things are different now; Yu Muhuai has money.

It's real, genuine silver.

She can facilitate trade, strengthen trade between the north and south, and boost domestic demand.

Otherwise, simply pressuring the people of the southeast region will also cause their dissatisfaction.

With silver, goods, grains, and products from the southeast region could be transported to the north.
