The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

Yuan Xichen felt uneasy and naturally wanted to investigate it himself.

Even if other places were attacked and occupied, he could not let Dongyu fall with them.

Dongyu is the last line of defense. Once it falls, the entire country will be divided up.

Seeing that they were unable to persuade the prince, everyone could only choose to compromise. Now every minute and every second could not be wasted.

Yuan Yi and a few others quickly left the palace and headed straight for the military camp.

Yuan Xichen was not sleepy at this time, so he went to the study and wrote a few letters and sent them out by carrier pigeon.

The entire palace was brightly lit at this time, which surprised the night watchman outside.

Generally, food and fodder must be sent first when going to war. Yuan Xichen also sent messages via carrier pigeons to ask them to prepare as quickly as possible, and then the food and fodder would be sent out first.

After writing the letter, he stayed in the study and did not go out.

At this time, the kitchen was also busy, preparing some food for the prince to take on the journey.

The nanny was also packing clothes for the prince to take to the military camp for him to change.

About half an hour later, someone came to report from outside.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can set off at any time."

The guard outside the door came to the door and reported the current situation.

The maid serving inside gently opened the door, and Yuan Xichen rubbed his sleepy brows and walked out.

At this time, he was wearing a suit of silver armor and looked very majestic.

The armor protected the entire face, leaving only a pair of charming almond-shaped eyes.

The slender fingers had distinct joints and were holding a dazzling sword that could cut through iron like mud.

Yuan Xichen looked at the torches lit in the courtyard and the soldiers wearing armor like him.

He glanced at the crowd with a sharp gaze, and shouted in a voice as loud as a bell: "My fellow soldiers, we can only succeed in this expedition and cannot fail. Millions of civilians can only rely on us to protect them. Everyone, repeat with me: we can only succeed and cannot fail."

Yuan Xichen's voice seemed to be full of magic at this moment, penetrating into everyone's heart.

"You can only succeed, not fail!"

"You can only succeed, not fail!"

"You can only succeed, not fail!"

Inside the courtyard, five hundred armored guards shouted slogans in unison. Their loud voices instantly resounded throughout the entire Chen Palace.

The people living near Prince Chen's Mansion were also awakened at this moment, and soon oil lamps lit up in the silent night, like tiny flames.

It was still relatively early at this time and no one knew what had happened.

There were even some curious people who opened the door to see what was inside, and they were shocked when they saw it.

"What on earth happened? Isn't this Prince Chen's palace? These soldiers can't be from the military camp. Is there going to be a war?" After a servant opened the door, he just happened to see Yuan Xichen's personal guards coming out.

After seeing this scene, he immediately closed the door and ran into the owner's house.

Because the noise from leaving the city was so loud, the entire town knew about the war before daybreak.

Moreover, there were several times more soldiers at the town gate, and the inspection was very strict.

Fortunately, Yuanyi made a lot of arrangements, and the news will only spread among a small number of people and will not spread outside.

At this moment, the air was filled with a layer of white mist, and things more than one meter away could not be seen clearly.

Yuan Xichen rode a tall horse and disappeared into the white fog with a group of personal guards.

When the sky turned pale in the morning, Yu Qingqing's family from Taotao Village had all gotten up.

At this time, Yu Qingqing's family had just finished breakfast, and a group of people had arrived outside the courtyard one after another. They were waiting to reclaim the wasteland.

Village chief He Qiang held a hoe in his hand, scratched his head which was not itchy, and said awkwardly:

"Qingshu, we are sorry to bother you so early in the morning. As soon as everyone knows that they can make money, they are like chicken blood, wanting to work harder earlier. Don't mind it, just do your own thing and ignore us."

He Qiang felt that he was causing too much trouble to others, but he had no other choice in order to survive.

Yu Qingshu had just finished washing the dishes and was about to call them when someone had already arrived.

Each of them was holding a farm tool in his hand, which was obviously borrowed.

Yesterday he had already paid the workers who were building the house.

We also plan to bring them along for this land reclamation. Together with the more than sixty people brought by He Qiang, there will be about ninety people in total.

Yu Qingshu didn't mind these. Instead, he felt a little sour when he heard Village Chief He Qiang say this.

Finally, he managed to hold it back. He said nonchalantly, "Brother He Qiang, don't be so polite. This is also about helping each other. There's no need to be so cautious. Let's just get along like before. Otherwise, it will be tiring if we are too reserved."

Last night, Yu Qingshu specially gathered the whole family together and asked everyone about their opinions on He Qiang and others.

After hearing his daughter and son say they no longer cared, he also felt that he should try to let it go.

After figuring it out, he felt a lot more relaxed.

When everyone heard Yu Qingshu's words, they felt a little relieved, and the awkward atmosphere just now disappeared.

Yu Qingshu led a group of people outside. He asked the village chief Liu and learned that the wasteland here was ownerless. As long as they reclaimed it themselves, it would be cheaper.

You can buy as much wasteland as you want.

Yu Qingshu chose a place not far from his home, so it would be more convenient for him to grow crops and for his son to harvest them in the future.

In front of me is a piece of wasteland with a lot of gravel and weeds. The terrain here looks relatively flat and there is a small river nearby, so there will be no problem in irrigating crops in the future.

Yu Qingshu pointed to the wasteland in front of him and said, "Thank you for helping us to open up the wasteland. After the land is opened up, two-thirds of it will be used as paddy fields, and the other part will be used to grow vegetables. We are currently planning to open up 100 acres of wasteland, so thank you for your hard work."

The decision about the one hundred acres that Yu Qingshu mentioned was made after discussing with his family.

When Village Chief He Qiang and the others heard the number one hundred acres, they took a deep breath and were completely surprised.

Everyone looked at each other, with envy in their eyes.

I really didn't expect that the Yu family suddenly became so rich and had so much land. It would cost money to hire people and build houses.

However, Village Chief He Qiang was still a little worried. After all, one hundred acres of land would cost a lot of money, and they wouldn't be helping in vain.

After struggling for a long time, Village Chief He Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Qingshu, are you sure you want to open up a hundred acres of wasteland?"
