It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

At Murong Nan's command, the soldiers of Yanzhou City rushed to the Qingzhou city tower like a flood.

A bloody siege battle began.

Lu Feng rushed to the city of Qingzhou with his broken carriage.

This siege lasted for an hour.

The Qingzhou city wall was lost.

The troops of Yanzhou City, led by Murong Nan, Murong Feihe, Huang Shan and others, rushed into Qingzhou City.

Waves of cries of killing and wailing filled the air, one after another.

As night fell, the black sky descended, covering the entire Qingzhou City.

There were shouts and cries of killing everywhere in Qingzhou City, the hoarse voices of women, the crying of babies, and the sound of swords clashing.

Fires were everywhere in the city, illuminating the dark night as bright as day. The bright stars in the sky seemed to pale in comparison to these flames.

After more than two hours of street fighting, at nearly midnight, the entire Qingzhou City was in the hands of the Murong family.

Lu Xingchen did not enter the city. After the city gate was opened, Lu Feng also retreated and handed everything over to the Murong family.

Lu Xingchen camped outside the city with his troops. He watched the fire and slept well that night.

Around noon of the next day, Murong Nan, Murong Feihe and his son-in-law Sun Yuehui came to Lu Xingchen's tent and invited her to visit Yanzhou.

Lu Xingchen readily agreed.

There was nothing she was afraid of entering Yanzhou City.

Her troops are here. If she makes a mistake, her troops will flatten Yanzhou City.

So Lu Xingchen left Wei Hu and Lu Feng outside the city and only took Ling Xiao into Yanzhou City.

"Lord Lu is just going to Yanzhou City to have a quick meal, and then I will personally send Lord Lu out of the city." Murong Nan said excitedly.

Taking Qingzhou City not only expanded his territory, but also eliminated his biggest worry. How could he not be happy?

Lu Xingchen played an extremely important role in this battle.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Senior Murong and I are going to cooperate well, so of course we have to eat this meal, and we have to eat it well."

"I have one more thing I want to discuss with Lord Lu." Murong Nan looked at Lu Xingchen and said.

"Senior Murong has taken a fancy to my throwing car and broken riding car." Lu Xingchen said.

"Lord Lu is truly kind-hearted. You can see through everything I'm thinking."

"Don't worry, I will trade with you and give you half of the land in Qingzhou." Murong Nan said.

"Once my master has sorted out the land account books and population books, I will personally send someone to deliver them to Lord Lu."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "It's just two catapults and a city-breaking vehicle. Senior Murong is too polite."

"You're welcome. You're welcome. I'm very happy that Lord Lu agrees." Murong Nan said with a big laugh.

The catapult and city-breaking vehicle designed by Lu Xingchen are simply too easy to use.

There are throwing cars too, but they are old-fashioned and very bulky.

A battering ram is the kind that requires dozens of people to push.

Lu Xingchen's catapults and battering rams are exquisitely designed, light and flexible, yet very powerful. The old-fashioned battering rams and catapults are simply incomparable.

Of course, he also wanted gunpowder, but he just couldn't open his mouth.

He could also ask someone to develop something like gunpowder on his own. He believed that given enough time, he would be able to make it.

"Then I'll obey your command. One throwing car and one broken riding car." Lu Xingchen looked like I was taking advantage of him.

Of course, she couldn't provide Murong Nan with the required catapults and battering rams. She could only give him two as samples and let him go back to study them on his own.

How far one can achieve depends on Murong Nan's ability.

Lu Xingchen followed Murong Nan into Yanzhou City.

Lu Xingchen rode on horseback and looked at the situation in Yanzhou City.

Yanzhou City is indeed prosperous enough, and its city walls are high and strong, which is incomparable to Qingzhou City.

The people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment. When they saw Murong Nan leading his troops into the city, they did not panic and continued to do their own things.

It can be seen that Murong Nan was a benevolent ruler and was very tolerant towards the people.

After walking for a while, a carriage stopped in front of them.

Murong Nan reined in his horse, but was not in a hurry, with a gentle look in his eyes.

Apparently he knew the people in the carriage.

Lu Xingchen looked at the decoration of the carriage and knew that the owner of the carriage was a woman. There was a pink ribbon on the outside of the carriage, and the pendant was also pink, which was very cute.

This is the decoration that only a delicate lady who is loved by everyone can have.

Sure enough, a moment later, a petite and cute woman in a pink dress jumped out of the carriage with a bright and beautiful smile on her face.

"Daddy, you're back."

"Why are you coming here instead of staying at home?" Murong Nan's tone was full of condemnation, but the smile on his face remained.

"Dad and brother are out fighting, I'm worried about you." Murong Xiao was talking to Murong Nan, but his eyes were on the man behind Murong Nan.

Murong Nan could naturally see it and looked speechless.

"Are you worried about me and your elder brother, or are you worried about Yuehui?"

"Daddy, even you laugh at me." Murong Xiao showed the shy and awkward attitude of a little girl.

"Okay, Yuehui is back. You guys go back first." Murong Nan turned and said to Sun Yuehui.

"Father, I'd better go back to the yamen with you." Sun Yuehui didn't want to go back with Murong Xiao. He wanted to see Lu Xingchen a few more times.

A woman like Lu Xingchen is the one she wants to get and possess.

In the past, he thought that the Murong family was the highest position he could reach, but now that he saw Lu Xingchen, he realized that the Murong family was nothing.

The combat effectiveness of Lu Xingchen's troops, as well as her command and leadership abilities, will provide her with unlimited potential in the future.

"Go back, do you want her to stay here like this?" Murong Nan said coldly.

Sun Yuehui had no choice but to dismount and get on the carriage with Murong Xiao.

Before getting on the carriage, Sun Yuehui's eyes fell on Lu Xingchen again.

Murong Xiao followed Sun Yuehui's gaze and looked at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen was wearing men's clothes, and Murong Xiao didn't recognize that she was a woman.

Lu Xingchen’s appearance is good enough, but he is too delicate for a man, and Yuehui is taller.

"Yuehui is gone."

"Don't you miss me? I miss you so much."

"In the future, you should not go out to fight with father and elder brother. Stay in Yanzhou with me."

Sun Yuehui showed an impatient look.

"Why would you do this when there are very important guests here?"

"I'm a man, I can't always be around you."

"Yuehui, what's wrong with you? Don't you love me anymore? Why are you so irritated with me?" Murong Xiao suddenly felt wronged and his eyes turned red.

Sun Yuehui had no choice but to hold her hand and speak softly.

“I also want to be someone who can help my father.”

"My second brother is still young, and my father only has my eldest brother by his side. I want to be my father's right-hand man and start the Murong family's business."

"Aren't there Huangshan and Wang Mao?" Murong Xiao blurted out.

"They are just adopted sons with their own surnames. How can they compare with me? I am my father's son-in-law, half his son. If I can help him, why should my father rely on Huang Shan and Wang Mao?"

Sun Yuehui's mind was filled with Lu Xingchen's appearance. If it were Lu Xingchen, he would never say such a stupid thing at this time.

He patiently held Murong Xiao's hand.

The carriage made way, and Murong Nan and Lu Xingchen continued to move forward until they arrived at the Yanzhou government office.

The government office had already been notified and a sumptuous banquet was prepared.
