Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

In this way, Chu Xin's workshops blossomed and built around Leizhou City at a terrifying speed.

As the construction of the workshop was gradually completed, Chu Xin gradually set her sights on the South China Sea Island.

If Chu Xin's attitude toward Panzhou City and Luozhou City was dispensable before, then it was inevitable that they would win Nanhai Island.

Because Chu Mo had a history of not cooperating before, this time Chu Xin directly bypassed Chu Mo and issued an order to build Nanhai Island in the name of the Leizhou Governor's Office, directly transferring the vacated craftsmen to Nanhai Island for construction.

Chu Mo just watched the whole process with cold eyes. Apart from eating, sleeping, and basking in the sun, Chu Mo never even set foot in the backyard, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Mo at this time has completely become Chu Xin's puppet, and just wants to be a person who eats and waits for death.

Chu Xin was also on guard against Chu Mo at the beginning, fearing that the other party might have some conspiracy.

However, after observing for a period of time, she found that the other person was honest and not only had no interest in external things, but was also vaguely repulsive, she began to slowly relax her vigilance.

Just when she began to devote all her efforts to the construction of Nanhai Island, the belated arrival of Li Ke and his party broke the tranquility of Leizhou City.

When Li Ke heard that Chu Mo had fallen into the hands of Chu Xin, he originally wanted to mobilize an army to rescue him, but was stopped by Wang Dehai.

After holding on for another five days, Wang Dehai asked Li Ke to break the news and tell Li Junxian that Chu Mo and Yang Hongyu had left the military camp first and headed directly to Leizhou City.

After Li Junxian got the news that Chu Mo was not in the military camp, he immediately realized that he had been deceived. He went directly to the military camp and urged the other party to set off to catch up with Chu Mo.

But what Li Junxian didn't expect was that Wang Dehai, who originally came with him, fell ill at this time, and the reason was that he was punished too much by Yang Hongyu, which made his body unable to bear it.

In order to make up for his failure to come to intercede in time, and to prevent Wang Dehai from suing him in front of His Majesty the Emperor after returning to Beijing, Li Junxian decided to stay where he was and wait until Wang Dehai's condition stabilized before going there.

In this way, the two groups of people stayed at the same place for about ten days, and then began to slowly move towards Leizhou City.

Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an City, waited for a long time for the food to arrive, and did not get the message from Wang Dehai. He was angry and sent Li Daozong and the warrior Xun again with 5000 troops to collect food.

When Li Ke and Li Junxian entered the boundaries of Leizhou City, Li Daozong and Warrior Xun also happened to catch up with them.

When they learned that they had not yet transferred His Majesty's imperial edict to Chu Mo, Li Daozong and Warrior Xun turned green.

Without any hesitation, he gathered 10000 troops and headed straight for Leizhou City.

Then Li Ke also followed them with 2000 troops from his headquarters and arrived at Leizhou City.

Although Leizhou City has been repaired and expanded by Chu Xin for nearly a month, due to the focus on the construction of the workshop, there is a shortage of personnel, and even the framework has not been completed yet.

At this time, when I heard that 12000 troops were coming from outside the city, I was so shocked that my jaw dropped.

Just as she was hesitating whether to let the other party enter the city, Zhang San and Li Si who were waiting in Panzhou City, and Wang Wu and Zhao Liu in Luozhou City also came to Leizhou City with their 8000 troops after hearing the news.

After the two parties met, because there was not much difference in strength and Wang Dehai mediated, no conflict occurred.

When Chu Xin learned everything, she rushed directly to Chu Mo, looked at Chu Mo and said with gritted teeth:

"You already knew that such a day would come. You had already planned it, right?"

Chu Mo blinked his eyes and asked with an ignorant look:

"My dear sister, who offended you? Tell your brother and he will help you take it out on him."

Seeing that the other party dared to act crazy and act stupid, Chu Xin grabbed Chu Mo's collar and shouted:

"If you do this again, believe it or not, I will kill you directly?"

Seeing Chu Xin's furious look, Chu Mo shrugged indifferently and said:

"It's okay. If I die alone, I can recruit countless people to support me. It's worth it."

Seeing that the other party looked like a scoundrel who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, Chu Xin was so angry that her teeth itched, but there was nothing she could do about the other party.

"Chu Mo, what on earth do you mean!!!"

Chu Xin couldn't bear it anymore and shouted directly at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo sighed and said:

"My dear sister, originally we could have been in peace. You followed your path as queen, and I dreamed of my dream of wealth."

"But you want to disturb my originally peaceful life for your own selfish desires. Not only did you take away my life and property, but now you actually want my life?"

"You already want my life, and now you ask me what I want to do? Don't you think it's funny?"

Chu Xin was stunned for a moment, then her face changed again and again. After calming down a little, she stared at Chu Mo and asked:

"Can things go well today? Our county will ask my people to withdraw from your territory and promise not to retaliate against you in the future."

Chu Mo pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said:

"I can let you leave, but you can't take away any of your people or supplies."

"Chu Mo, do you really want to fight me to the death? Don't forget, your life is still in my hands."

Saying that, Chu Xin suddenly increased the strength on her hands.

Chu Mo was so strangled that he couldn't breathe. He quickly grabbed Chu Xin's hand and said:

"Let go, let go. If you kill me now, believe it or not, the 20000 troops outside will directly attack the city without hesitation. By then we will both be dead. Wouldn't that be an advantage to outsiders?"

Maybe Chu Mo's words had an effect, maybe Chu Xin also understood that he couldn't do anything to the other party now.

I just heard her sigh, then let go of her hand and said:

"Chu Mo, we are brothers and sisters after all. As you said, there is no need to fight to the death to make it easier for outsiders. Tell me how to get me and my people out of here."

Seeing that Chu Xin finally compromised, Chu Mo did not dare to irritate the other party too much. He turned his eyes and said:

"Well, sister, you also know that there is a serious shortage of labor and craftsmen in my fiefdom, and you have people but no place to develop. In this way, we might as well cooperate. You help me build the fiefdom, and I will find a place for you. How are you developing?"

Chu Xin looked at Chu Mo suspiciously. She would not have thought that the other party would be so kind to help her.

"Besides helping you build the fiefdom, do you have any other conditions?"
