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

Murong Feihe looked at Lu Xingchen with burning eyes.

Lu Xingchen is only eighteen this year, and it is also the time for him to grow.

Girls change a lot when they grow up. In Murong Feihe's eyes, she became more stunning and mature. An indescribable beauty emanated from her body, making Murong Feihe unable to take his eyes away.

"Hello, Mr. Murong." Lu Xingchen smiled faintly at Murong Feihe.

Murong Feihe showed a slightly shy expression on his face.

Even though Lu Xingchen doesn't plan to get married in this life, it doesn't stop her from liking handsome men.

She hadn't seen Murong Feihe for a long time.

After going through several battles, Murong Feihe has become more mature, stable and restrained.

His already strong facial features now looked even tougher.

She really liked this kind of man's appearance.

Ling Xiao's face was as gloomy as if a layer of ice had frozen over it.

Although he had fought several major battles during this period, he still seemed a little immature when standing in front of Murong Feihe.

He saw the way Lu Xingchen looked at Murong Feihe, and his heart felt so sour as if he had drunk two pounds of vinegar.

When will Lu Xingchen look at him the same way he looks at Murong Feihe?

He still has to grow up, and grow up quickly, he is eighteen this year.

He feels that he has grown up a lot, but he still has a lot of room to grow.

Lu Xingchen personally welcomed Murong Nan and Murong Feihe, father and son, into Yongzhou City.

When they arrived at the Yongzhou government office, the two sides sat down as host and guest.

"Congratulations, girl, on being named King of Qin." Murong Nan said sincerely.

There are tens of millions of people in the world, but how many of them can be crowned kings?

What's more, Lu Xingchen was crowned king as a woman, which is extremely rare.

But Lu Xingchen did it.

In the past two years, he has been constantly strengthening his strength, but compared with Lu Xingchen, he is far behind.

At this time, his territory had been confined to a certain range. If he wanted to expand it further, he could cross the river to the south and attack the Southern Tang.

He tried this, but ultimately failed and suffered heavy losses.

The second is to head north and seize territory from the State of Wei.

When Lu Xingchen conquers the capital and he ascends the throne to become emperor, how should he face Lu Xingchen? Should he submit to Lu Xingchen?

This was something he couldn't accept.

Lu Xingchen and Master Guo had already analyzed Murong Nan's thoughts.

But she also understood the arrogance of the men in the Murong family, as that family had once ascended the throne.

But he still wanted to give the other side some advice. Attacking Wei State to the north was not a wise move.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and accepted Murong Nan's congratulations.

"I heard that Senior Murong was injured during the attack on Southern Tang. I wonder how he is doing?" Lu Xingchen looked concerned.

Murong Nan smiled and shook his head, his expression indifferent.

"It's nothing serious, just some minor injuries."

But Lu Xingchen felt that Murong Nan must have concealed his injuries. He wanted to fight to the death in the last period of his life.

Well, a man with a great dream in his heart wants to make one last attempt, why doesn’t she give him a chance?

"This time I met with Senior Murong mainly to tell you that attacking Wei to the north is not a wise move."

Murong Nan knew that Lu Xingchen would say this, so he had already thought of some words to explain.

But Lu Xingchen did not give him a chance to speak, and continued.

“Everyone has the right to choose what they want to do.”

"Of course, Senior Murong is a man of integrity. He makes his own choices and will bear the consequences himself."

"I can open a passage between Yongzhou and Jizhou so that Senior Murong can go north with peace of mind."

"Moreover, I can provide Senior Murong with a base for recuperation at the border of Jizhou and Cangzhou, and I will provide sufficient food and fodder there."

Murong Nan looked at Lu Xingchen in shock.

This was something he had never thought of.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qin."

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "I respect people like Senior Murong who have dreams in their hearts. I am willing to do this for you from the bottom of my heart."

"I also hope that Senior Murong's trip north this time will be successful."

Murong Nan was extremely moved.

Murong Nan and Murong Feihe stayed for lunch.

Murong Feihe found an opportunity to talk to Lu Xingchen alone.

"Thank you..." Murong Feihe looked at her with burning eyes full of eagerness.

"It's nothing. This is what I should do. But you know how worried I am. I'm afraid that time will come..." Lu Xingchen said sincerely.

In addition to a hint of eagerness, there was also a hint of tenderness that came from the heart in Murong Feihe's eyes.

He knew that Lu Xingchen was worried that this time, he and his son would never come back.

"I am also against what my father did. But I am different from my father."

"I wasn't born when the Great Yan Kingdom fell, but my father had experienced it. He wanted to restore the Murong family to its former glory."

"I can't relate to him, but he's my father. I respect his decision."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "You are a filial son."

Lu Xingchen's words made Murong Feihe not know how to respond for a moment.

"It's already June, and the land of Yanjing is unusually cold. It will be too difficult to attack the city in November."

"So, after returning from Yongzhou, we will lead our troops north to attack Cangzhou." Murong Feihe said.

"Well, since you have made the decision, I wish you all the best." Lu Xingchen said.

Murong Feihe nodded slightly, looking at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, Murong Feihe didn't say much in the end and turned and left.

After lunch, Murong Nan did not stay long. He took Murong Feihe and Wang Mao with him and left Yongzhou City and returned to Yanzhou.

In the end, Murong Nan, along with Murong Feihe, Wang Mao, and Huang Shan, led 20,000 troops north through Jizhou to attack Cangzhou.

Yanzhou and Qingzhou were left to Murong Xiao and Murong Yunhai.

Murong Nan's development speed has been fast enough in the past two years, and his military strength has reached 20,000.

However, how could he feel at ease to hand over Yanzhou and Qingzhou to Murong Xiao and Murong Yunhai.

That would be equivalent to handing these two places over to Sun Yuehui.

What a wolfish ambition Sun Yuehui has.

It seems that Murong Nan is determined to die and has no intention of returning to Yanzhou and Qingzhou, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.

Murong Nan is really a ruthless character. For the sake of his own dream and the glory that his ancestors once had, he even abandoned his daughter and younger son.

After Murong Nan's issue was resolved, Lu Xingchen returned to Yuzhou.

Before leaving Yongzhou, he instructed the garrison in Yongzhou to pay close attention to the situation in Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

Murong Nan can rest assured and leave her back to the other party, but she is not at ease with Sun Yuehui.

This person has evil intentions and is not a good person.

After arranging matters in Yongzhou, Lu Xingchen left and returned to Yuzhou.

When she returned to Yuzhou, she happened to catch the first spring examination she held.

"How many people have signed up? What's the situation?" Lu Xingchen asked Lu Yunfeng.

Lu Yunfeng was a little disappointed and shook his head slowly.

"There are quite a few applicants, but most of them have not received much education. They are all skilled workers such as carpenters and bricklayers."
