That night Su Yuntian led the East Vietnamese army to flee northward, during which they lost another 10,000 troops and a city.

The people of Liancheng also knew that this war was started by Su Yuntian alone, and it was also a contest between two brothers. They had been suffering for too long, and they didn't care who was the emperor. They would support whoever could lead them out of this sea of ​​suffering.

Most people understand that Southern Shu is a rich country. Perhaps after Su Yi takes over Eastern Yue, Eastern Yue can also live without war for decades like Southern Shu, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Therefore, most of the people in Liancheng secretly felt fortunate that Su Yi had captured Liancheng.

Liancheng is a land of abundant fish and water, and every household lives on the water. Therefore, in the deployment of Liancheng, Su Yi and others have stationed heavy troops to guard the city gates.

Even the source of the river leading into the city was equipped with special iron spikes. Any enemy who dared to dive in would be stabbed to death by the iron spikes hidden in the water.

The next step is to arrange the next plan and see how to get rid of Su Yuntian and Beiqi as quickly as possible.

However, even the most broken ship still has 100,000 iron nails. The 100,000-strong army of Dongyue, which has been fighting for years, is entrenched in a place less than 100 miles away from Liancheng. Although the war is imminent, it is not so easy to repel them quickly.

At night, slightly cool air came in from the window, flowing through the room with a slight chill. Mu Jin fell asleep in the room. Since she went to the battlefield, she had been very sleepy in her dreams.

At this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. The sound was not loud, but with a bang, the thunder spread out in an instant.

It was already winter, and it was very rare to hear thunder. However, Liancheng was located in the south, so it rained regardless of the season.

Sure enough, it started to rain outside after a while, and the raindrops fell on the leaves and the floor, making a rustling sound.

If this wasn't a war zone, this would be a rainy night that would allow people to sleep peacefully.

Mu Jin turned over and looked out the window in a daze, then fell asleep yawning and blinking.

The rain continued to fall that night, from night till dawn, as if it was crying for the soldiers who died in the war.

Su Yi always wanted to be closer to Mu Jin, so this time when he came to Liancheng and entered the mansion of those who fled to defend the city due to the war, he chose to live next to Mu Jin's yard.

When Mu Jin opened the door early in the morning, she saw Su Yi walking towards her place from the outer courtyard with an umbrella.

Su Yi appeared at the door of Mu Jin Courtyard in a dark soft robe. At breakfast time, he had not put on his armor yet, and his face was as handsome as a gentleman from a painting.

His long hair was not tied up high, but was tied into a loose bun at the back of his head, fixed with a wooden hairpin that could not be more ordinary.

Although he was dressed so casually, he gave people a sense of otherworldliness, which was quite different from the emperor in the court of Southern Shu.

Mu Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Su Yi lightly, then frowned and looked up at the lifeless weather.

Su Yi's eyes were originally covered with sleepiness, but as soon as he stepped into the yard and his eyes met Mu Jin's, his eyes instantly became bright, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

He smiled at Mu Jin and said, "Good morning, Jin!"

Mu Jin didn't sleep well last night, so her face didn't look very good early in the morning, so she didn't reply to Su Yi.

Su Yi stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Mu Jin nodded in agreement, but Su Yi said with a sly smile, "Are you afraid of thunder? If so, I will come over and sleep with you tonight."

"Okay!" Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi and replied. Su Yi was stunned by Mu Jin's answer. He laughed and asked Mu Jin tentatively: "Really?"

Mu Jin glanced at him, gritted his teeth and sneered, "Really?"

Su Yi took another serious look at Mu Jin, only to find that Mu Jin looked as if he was going to die if he dared to come. He raised his eyebrows, with a deep smile in his eyes, "I've thought about it, and I'll decide not to disturb you, Jin."

"Heh~" Mu Jin sneered and stopped arguing with Su Yi.

As they walked, they arrived at the dining hall.

At this time, Mu Yan had already been sitting in the dining hall waiting for Su Yi and Mu Jin. Normally, there was no obvious difference between the Mu Jin siblings and Su Yi in private, so it seemed as if the three of them were getting along casually in private when they were in the Dongyue Kingdom.

The rain kept falling. After breakfast, Su Yi and the Mu brothers and sisters asked the soldiers to bring the map and discussed the next battle plan in the dining hall.

A few nights ago, Su Yuntian arrived at Liangmen Pass with only 30,000 troops, intending to wait for the corpse soldiers to capture Liangmen Pass, and then they would march straight in, capture Southern Shu in one fell swoop and reap the benefits.

However, man proposes, God disposes. Nangong Min intervened and not only caused Dongyue to lose 10,000 corpse soldiers, but also lost 10,000 soldiers in the process of escape.

Fortunately, he still had 100,000 troops stationed in Hezhou, less than a hundred miles away from Liancheng, so his army was not completely destroyed.

The three looked at the map of Hezhou's territory. Hezhou was like a plate bottom, surrounded by mountains. But there was a large canal beside the mountains, and the transportation was very convenient, which was very convenient for the transportation of war supplies.

There are high mountains and city walls around to protect them, so it is not easy to capture Su Yuntian and others.

Mu Jin frowned as he looked at the geographical location of Hezhou, pointed at a checkpoint and murmured, "It would be great if we had gunpowder to blow these places up."

Mu Yan asked: "What is the gunpowder that Ah Jin mentioned? Is it so powerful?"

Listening to Mu Yan's question, Mu Jin knew that there was no word for gunpowder in this era, but to make gunpowder, saltpeter and sulfur were needed.

Mu Jin coughed lightly to cover up and said, "This gunpowder is similar to iron tree and silver flower. I once saw in a book that it is made of saltpeter and sulfur. According to the book, gunpowder can move mountains. If we find enough saltpeter and sulfur, we may be able to blow up the city tower of Dongyue and then attack it.

"Really?" Mu Yan asked happily, "Then Ajin, do you still remember how to make gunpowder in that book?"

Mu Jin nodded, "If I have saltpeter and sulfur, I can give it a try."

"I know a mine not far from Liancheng, and saltpeter is produced near the mine." Su Yi said.

Mu Jin was surprised: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Su Yi nodded, "But, that mine is close to Hezhou and has been under the control of the Dongyue court for many years, so it is not easy to take it."

Several people couldn't help but lower their heads and think about how to deal with it.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Several people were thinking about how to obtain the raw materials for gunpowder when suddenly a loud noise came from the street outside the yard.

It seemed like someone was screaming and someone was running, and the noise was endless. The three of them were all startled. Unless something big had happened, there would not be such a noisy sound on the street on such a rainy day.

After the three of them looked at each other, they hurried out of the dining hall and ran out to the yard.
