Zhuge Huaian felt elated after hearing this and forgot the unpleasantness he felt when he was kidnapped in the beginning.

The person he chose to join at the beginning was Mu Qing, and he just said it because he was unhappy.

Mu Qing gave way to the steps, and Zhuge Huaian walked down them.

The more Zhuge Huaian learned about Huangxian, the more frightened he became about the people behind Huangxian.

Such a far-sighted decree was actually issued by the eight-year-old Mu Qing, which aroused Zhuge Huaian and Mu Qing's special interest.

The two officially confirmed their relationship.

Mu Qing's almond eyes were like crescent moons.

This is her first strategist in the Tianchi Dynasty.

Zhuge Huaian is worthy of having the same surname as Mr. Kong Ming and has vision.

Mu Qing smiled foolishly to himself. The government affairs of Huang County were shared out, and there was no one to discuss some government affairs related to people's livelihood with him, so he always kept half of them in his hands.

If his senior brother hadn't stopped Mu Qing from staying up late many times, Mu Qing would have been busy until midnight every day.

There is one more aide, who seems to be a senior strategist.

The process was a bit bumpy though.

However, Mu Qing said that she was thick-skinned. If there were a few more counselors, even if they searched the database, Mu Qing would have to praise it for several minutes to an hour.

Face is worthless when it comes to talent.

In this dynasty, high-level workers are hard to come by, and if you unexpectedly find a Mu Qing, you will be excited for a long time.

She has already thought about Zhuge Huaian's life tomorrow.

The position of Huang County's chief steward was still vacant. Zhuge Huaian had served as a prefect's aide, so he could take up the position after a few days of training.

Mu Qing was finally able to get away from the political affairs of Huang County.

Zhou Jinwei ran away, and Mu Qing was very envious of Anping.

Huang County is within Anping Prefecture. Isn’t that just a coincidence?

Mu Qing turned to Zhuge Huaian, who became his aide:

"With the power of Huang County, can Anping be swallowed?"

Mu Qing said calmly.

When Mu Qing asked this question, Zhuge Huaian was so shocked that the feather fan in his hand could not withstand the gravity and the handle of the fan broke into two pieces.

Zhuge Huaian was just about to persuade Mu Qing that Huang County was still weak and needed to wait for development.

Mu Qing knew what Zhuge Huaian was shocked about, and she also wanted to continue to develop, but the timing was too good.

Huang County’s intelligence system has always been weak, if Zhuge Huaian hadn’t told Mu Qing about Zhou Jinwei.

It might take a few more days for Mu Qing to find out, but the news that Anping Prefecture is ownerless will certainly not be concealed for too long.

The migrant soldiers might learn about Anping Prefecture's news before the imperial court. If they sent a group of militiamen to Anping, and then Huang County sent troops, it would not be an occupation of the city but an attack on it.

Perhaps the imperial court knew that the prefect of Anping had escaped, and the migrant soldiers had no intention of attacking Anping.

Then the court would quickly send the next prefect to take up the post.

The result for Huang County is that Mu Qing still has to pay taxes even though his immediate superior is still there.

Even if Anping needs to send troops to attack the refugees, will the new prefect plan to use Huang County for food and grass?

After all, Anping is extremely poor, and in comparison, Huang County has the highest tax revenue.

Of course, there are worse situations where Mu Qing concealed Huang County’s actual tax revenue and waited to be investigated.

Or maybe the new prefect of Anping discovered the salt fields in Huangxian or found that the number of hangers-on and yamen runners in Huangxian exceeded the court's limit, and directly charged Mu Shan with the crime of treason.

The nine members of the Mu family...died.

Countless images flashed through Mu Qing's mind.

She could have saved herself by sending all the taxes to the next prefect, and then give the grain that the people had worked so hard to grow to the refugees or the refugee soldiers.

But Mu Qing found that she couldn't do it.

Mu Qing could not accept any possible outcome of the scenario.

Since she is in charge of the people of Huang County, she must stand behind the many people of Huang County and consider them.

How can they survive without food?

Too many people died of famine.

Mu Qing thought so and had already made a decision in his heart.

Zhuge Huaian inquired about the news in Huang County for many days before deciding to surrender to Mu Qing. This was considered as his recognition of the decrees issued by Mu Qing, and that only those with the same ideas could work together.

What Zhuge Huaian said made sense. He had a pretty good understanding of Huang County, but what he knew was only the part that Mu Qing was willing to show to outsiders.

Mu Qing asked Tietou to wake up Mu Wu.

Not too many people need to know about this plan.

Shen Moyan, Jiang Ji, Tietou, Mu Wu and the newly joined Zhuge Huaian.

There are civil generals, military generals, and even non-scientific supernatural weapons.

Mu cleared his throat and said no more nonsense:

"Within two days, Huang County will send troops to capture Anping Prefecture. Mu Wu and Tie Tou, you two will start the discussion on how to lead the troops."

Although Shen Moyan and Jiang Ji were trapped in Mu Qing's killing machine, to the outside world, they were military generals.

Zhuge Huaian had just accepted Mu Qing's offer. After thinking about what Mu Qing said, he realized how bold and presumptuous Mu Qing's actions were.

However, if the hundreds of idlers in Huang County want to capture Anping, they must have divine help.

Mu Wu and Tietou argued for a long time, and finally Mu Wu spoke.

Mu Wu is not much older than Mu Qing. Unlike Mu Qing, Mu Wu has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is mentally mature. Mu Qing has always left the task of leading the troops to Mu Wu and Tietou.

After experiencing a disaster, Mu Wu became more mature and even had the aura of a young military general.

"It takes a full day to travel from Huang County to Anping Prefecture. We don't have war horses, which is one of our disadvantages."

"But we have a thousand elite soldiers, all wearing steel armor. If anyone comes to Anping Prefecture, we can join forces with our county soldiers to capture it."

Mu Qing nodded, approving of Mu Wu's remarks.

Zhuge Huaian's gaze stayed on Mu Wu.

A thousand elite soldiers? Where did Huangxian get a thousand elite soldiers? Aren't there only a few hundred idlers?

According to what Mu Wu said, wouldn't there be at least a few more ordinary soldiers in Huang County?

Zhuge Huaian was sure that he had never seen so many soldiers.

Mu Qing noticed Zhuge Huaian's gaze moving towards her, and she stretched out four fingers.

"Four thousand steel-armored soldiers. You and Tietou will each lead a team of a thousand soldiers to surround Anping from two locations. The remaining two thousand soldiers will be on standby in Huang County and will reunite with you in a day."

Jiang Ji's arm was injured, so Mu Qing planned to let him stay in Huang County.

As for Shen Moyan, he will follow Mu Wu and others first.

There is also a military advisor, and Mu Qing has also assigned one.

Zhuge Huaian followed one of the teams.

In the world of cultivation, Shen Moyan has always been a leading figure among sword cultivators.

Whether it is strangling a large monster cave or heading to a secret realm to seek opportunities, Shen Moyan has always been the leader of the younger generation of swordsmen.

Mu Qing asked Shen Moyan to go with him mainly to provide a backup plan.

Mu Wu is only a teenager and lacks experience. The same is true for Tietou. Neither of them has any experience in fighting. Mu Qing will feel more at ease with Shen Moyan watching over him.
