Within Chenrong Army, Xiang Liu and Hong Jiang will fight to the death, but for the other ordinary soldiers, from a human perspective, they can only share hardship, not prosperity.

Chapter 15, Longing for You (End)

Did Xiang Liu and Hong Jiang know about the problems that were arising within Chen Rong Army? Of course they did.

There is only one way to resolve this contradiction: continue the war and expand land resources.

When wealth and resources increase, soldiers at all levels can naturally participate in the distribution of wealth, which is the only way to alleviate conflict.

However, Cangxuan focused all his energy on defense, so the situation became one of offense and one of defense.

Xiang Liu secretly collaborated with Cang Xuan's enemies, plotting to kill Cang Xuan.

Meanwhile, Cangxuan continuously recruited and won over the rebels within Chenrong Army, with both sides causing trouble behind each other's backs.

The war lasted for ten years, with both sides sabotaging each other's back camps.

It wasn't until internal strife broke out within Chen Rong's army that the two camps descended into chaos. Some fought to the death alongside Xiang Liu Hongjiang, while others, having children, decided to surrender.

Cangxuan achieved his goal, forcing Chenrong Army into internal strife through more than ten years of stalemate and defense.

So, Cangxuan led his army to attack. This time, Chenrong's army had no way out, and more than half of them had already surrendered.

With the outcome decided and victory seemingly within reach, Xiang Liu unleashed his final move: assassinating Cang Xuan.

Over the past ten years, Tang Yu has traveled to various secret realms throughout the world, collected many special spiritual herbs, and forged numerous weapons.

Tang Yu was very surprised when he learned that Cangxuan had been assassinated.

Cangxuan was already quite powerful in this world, and she had so many guards around her, so how did she die?

"what 's wrong?"

Tang Yu went directly to Chishui Fenglong and asked him questions.

"A pawn that had been buried for over ten years, loyal for the past decade, revealed its whereabouts at a crucial moment."

Although Xiao Yao's relationship with Cang Xuan is not as close as before, it's because Xiao Yao doesn't want to be used by Cang Xuan. But Xiao Yao will still save people when it matters.

Why didn't they save anyone this time?

Not long after, Tang Yu met Xiao Yao and learned the answer.

"Xiang Liu is a smart man, he's too smart!"

At that time, Cangxuan's son had a severe viral infection, and I was treating the child for the illness.

Xiang Liu used this time to assassinate Qiangxuan. He probably didn't expect that not everyone in Chenrong Army would die on the battlefield; the final outcome would be internal strife. Perhaps he was furious with Qiangxuan.

Xiang Liu might be able to accept the tragic end of sacrificing himself for his country, but he couldn't bear to see those who had shared hardships with him ultimately turn out so ugly for their own gain.

But wanting to survive isn't really a bad thing.

Tang Yu even thought this ending was pretty good, at least most of the people chose to surrender and survived.

However, there will always be some people in this world who will persevere to the end; everyone has their own choices.

"With Cangxuan dead, Xiyan will definitely send a large force to besiege Chen Rong's last few thousand righteous soldiers. The outcome is already decided."

Therefore, many people will want to reap the rewards, since this is a victory that was destined to be won, and everyone wants to take the credit for themselves.

"What a pity for Cangxuan's son."

At such a young age, they are not qualified to participate in the distribution of benefits, and may even be directly expelled from the center of power.

In theory, Fenglong of Chishui should have commanded the army to continue the attack and wage a final war.

After all, Chishui Fenglong was once considered Cangxuan's right-hand man, and he had fought against Chenrong Army for many years, so he was more experienced.

However, the five kings and seven princes in the court wanted to seize the fruits of others' labor, so Chishui Fenglong was squeezed out.

"You don't seem sad at all?"

Tang Yu looked at Chishui Fenglong, who seemed to show no signs of resentment at being ostracized by the court.

Chishui Fenglong laughed, then pulled the person in front of him down and made him sit on his lap.

"More than ten years ago, I felt that I would definitely accomplish great things, unify the world in the future, and leave my name in history."

But Cangxuan died. He was the only person I felt had hope, but he started too late and had too little power.

Now that Cangxuan is dead, what ability do those five kings and seven kings, who secretly supported the rebels while Cangxuan was fighting, have to unify the world? I have no respect for them.”

These words made Tang Yu burst out laughing.

"What can we do? The King of Xiyan only has two sons who are capable of achieving anything, and his favored grandson has died. How will you establish yourself in the future?"

"If there's no monarch I can stand, it's better to maintain the status quo. How can we conduct politics well with a bunch of insects? It was you, Ayu, who said this to me."

So let's go sightseeing. For the past few years, Ayu has been traveling all over the country, and I can only watch with envy.

Now that the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince are both ostracizing me and don't want me to be in power, I might as well live a carefree and unrestrained life. Why bother with all that humiliation?

Tang Yu cupped the person's cheeks in her hands and pinched them. Looking at Chishui Fenglong, who was completely at her mercy, she slowly lowered her head, her forehead touching his. Then, she parted her lips slightly and smiled sweetly.

“I have never asked you to abandon everything and travel around with me. Your life is precious enough.”

To live a carefree and unrestrained life, traveling to all corners of the world, is certainly a very enjoyable existence.

To achieve great things and find a loyal ruler to serve, to work together to unify the world and enable the people to live in peace and prosperity, is an extremely beautiful vision.

If you want to do nothing, live a simple life at home, read books, enjoy wine, appreciate flowers, and live a leisurely life, that's perfectly fine.

Feng Long, I don't need you to choose what kind of life you want for me. The key is, what kind of life do you want?

Chishui Fenglong embraced the person in front of him and spoke with certainty.

"I'm serious. Even from the perspective of the interests of the court, won't the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince fight each other next?"

In the imperial court, failing to choose sides inevitably leads to targeting. When the power struggles within the court become a vortex, sometimes distancing oneself from danger is the best option.

Tang Yu carefully observed Chishui Fenglong's expression. His handsome face was now adorned with a gentle and carefree smile, and his clear eyes held a hint of longing and tenderness.

"Ayu, let's get married before we go traveling around the world. I also want to have a proper status. I've been waiting for this for many years. I wonder if you'll agree now."

I can't be like Jing, who waits patiently for Xiao Yao no matter how many people she likes outside. I can't do that.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Tu Shan Jing is a very good wife, completely disregarding Xiao Yao's affairs outside.

Although he couldn't escape the constraints of his family, he was very tolerant of the first wife.

"Don't worry, if you're devoted to me, I'll be devoted to you too. If you're fickle, I'll still have affairs outside. It all depends on what you do."

These words made Chishui Fenglong smile with delight.

"Has Ayu accepted my marriage proposal?"

Tang Yu lowered her head and kissed the person in front of her.

"if not?"

Chishui Fenglong was overjoyed. He instantly picked up the person in front of him and flew into the air, then set off fireworks continuously.

"I'm so excited!"

Tang Yu: "You look silly when you're excited!"

"I don't care! I'm going to let everyone know I'm happy today, and I don't care what they think!"

"Whatever you want, whatever you want!"

Finally, filled with excitement, Chishui Fenglong embraced the person in front of him tightly and kissed him passionately, with a hint of coquetry in his voice.

He gently picked up her long, silky hair and fondled it with affection.

"Ayu, it seems that no matter where we are or what we do together, I only feel happy and free."

Where is it because of her? Chishui Fenglong himself is an open-minded, cheerful, and generous person.

"You chose happiness, not me. Come on, I'll take you to a fun place."

After saying this, Tang Yu led the others and flew into the depths of the peach grove.

There are many interesting formations set up there; let's take Chishui Fenglong there to have some fun.

This story ends here. I'll write a short side story for Zheng Ge, but I haven't decided whose son he'll be. The world-building here is too complicated.

The female lead and Fenglong, or Anian and Rushou? Since Qiangxuan is dead, Anian and Rushou become a couple in my eyes, or perhaps someone else's offspring?

Chapter 16 Extra End

Tang Yu can usually decide when she will have a child, and even whether it will be a daughter or a son.

However, something went wrong in her life. Did she destroy something in this world? Fate made Tang Yu pregnant thirty years after marrying Chishui Fenglong.

"This is a child with great fortune."

Chishui Fenglong had just been overjoyed to have an heir when he heard Tang Yu say this, and he was puzzled.

"You can predict his fate before he's even born?"

“It’s like a divine instruction, Fenglong. I have a feeling that we shouldn’t need to worry about the child.”

Chishui Fenglong did not understand these words; he only felt anticipation and joy.

"Wouldn't it be better if he was a smart and sensible child? I can teach him a lot of things in the future, so I don't have to worry about him being averse to learning."

I was quite mischievous as a child, which gave my teachers and elders a lot of headaches.

"You don't even need to tell me that. Judging from your personality, you were a mischievous troublemaker when you were a child."

As soon as Tang Yu uttered those slightly mocking words, Feng Long hugged the person in front of him tightly.

"It's no use complaining now, we're already married."

"What are you thinking? Although I don't discriminate against quiet people, I do enjoy hanging out with outgoing people."

The child was born ten years later.
