Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Jiang Yue stayed in the manor for the next few days. If she wanted to eat something, she would ask someone to buy it for her. She and Xiao Cui never went out. Even though they could see handsome men falling into the river near the manor, they might not dare to use force, but if Jiang Yue fell in love with him, there would be nothing they could do.

After the entourage was ready, the family set off back to Liangzhou. According to the information obtained by the Jiang family's spies, the old emperor might be dying. They had to return to Liangzhou before he died, otherwise they would likely be dragged into the war, which would be too dangerous. It would be impossible for a grandmaster to survive an army of 100,000, let alone bring others with him.

After walking for a day, we left the Shangjing city. Everyone was very vigilant that day. At this time, there was no guarantee that someone would take advantage of the situation. However, we could not relax our vigilance now. We still had to be cautious in everything. No one had rested much that day. Now that we had arrived at a place with a wider view, the convoy prepared to take a rest.

After setting up camp, Jiang Yue got off the carriage. Although he was riding in the carriage, he didn't feel tired because the road was very flat just outside the capital. It was not bumpy and it was very comfortable to lie down.

Some were busy feeding the cows and some were busy cooking. Jiang Yue and Xiao Cui looked at the nearby scenery. They didn't go far, they just took a look and came back without running around to seek death.

After eating, we continued to move forward. The current road conditions still support traveling overnight. Both people and cattle have been trained, so to be honest, we were not tired after traveling for a whole day.

It took another three days to walk like this. We were already very far away from the capital city. The road conditions ahead were not very good, so we had to rest well and get enough energy, so we rested for two days.

They continued to move forward two days later. According to the speed of Handibuu, they would reach the border of Liangzhou in a few days. They did not encounter any bandits or the like along the way. The main reason was that they brought a lot of people and looked not easy to deal with. The bandits were not stupid and would not attack such a caravan.

When they arrived at Liangzhou City, Jiang's father was already waiting at the city gate. Seeing that Jiang's mother was too busy to care about her children, he chatted with her for a while and said, "A few days ago, news came from the capital that the old emperor failed to break through and passed away. Now the princes are all exhausted. Fortunately, they returned home safely."

No wonder. Jiang Yue was also wondering why the defense of Liangzhou City had become much stricter. It seemed that the curtain was about to be opened, and the protagonist was about to embark on his destined glorious journey. The Jiang family could no longer keep a low profile. These days, there are some things that you really can't avoid. Let's see what Jiang's father will do.

After returning home, they first went to soak in a hot spring to relieve their fatigue. After dinner, the family went to the study. The eldest brother and Jiang's father talked about the matter of going to the capital in detail. Jiang's mother also told her grandfather's plan. After thinking for a while, Jiang's father asked the eldest brother: "Father plans to let you study with Zhuge Liang. Are you willing?"

"Father, are we going to side with the Ninth Prince?"

"You can't hide away. Now you can only take the initiative to join the game. Even so, you still can't gain any initiative."

"During this period of time, I have been paying attention to the Ninth Prince. His strength is unfathomable. Although the people under him are unknown, they are all very capable. I have not yet found out who is supporting him behind the scenes, especially Zhuge Military Advisor. It is impossible for such a person to be cultivated by any hidden sect. It is really strange!"

"Then I will follow my father's arrangements."

Mother Jiang poured Father Jiang a cup of tea and asked, "Do you want to split the bet?"

Father Jiang shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. Betting on both sides will only lead to losses on both sides. Even if the Ninth Prince fails, the Jiang family only needs to lie dormant for a few years, and it won't hurt any serious consequences."

"It's good that the Ninth Prince succeeds, but if you fail, I'm afraid you will have nothing to do with the position of the head of the family."

"How is it? Are you still insisting? If you don't want to, you can find someone else. There are still many outstanding children in the family."

"Father, please arrange the details."

"it is good!"

"Yuer, what do you think?"

"It's okay to take sides, but you have to know when to stop. They already have a lot of capable people under them. Compared to their original team, we may not be treated very well in the past, so we have to be prepared for this."

"That doesn't matter. Our goal is to protect the family. Any position is secondary."

"Then there's no problem."

After that, they talked about some other things. After the meeting, Jiang Yue went back to her room to sleep. Although she was inclined towards the Ninth Prince, this was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. The two sides only had this tacit understanding, and the specific details of the cooperation would require several more discussions.

By the time Brother Jiang Yue entered the Ninth Prince's Palace, three months had passed. By this time, the outcome of the battle in Shangjing City had also been decided. Several princes were wiped out, and only five of the dozens of princes in Shangjing City survived. Among them was the previously deposed crown prince, the second prince who was regent, the unknown nineteenth prince, and his biological brother, the thirty-fifth prince.

Of course, the most surprising thing was the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince's biological brother. The day before the Second Prince inherited the throne, he led his troops into Shangjing City and defeated the Second Prince to ascend the throne. If the remaining princes had not run fast, the royal bloodline would have been killed.

After several princes fled back to their fiefdoms, they simultaneously issued a manifesto to fight against the enemy, stating that the Eighth Prince was in collusion with the Demon Sect, killing his brothers and not recognizing his own relatives, and called on people with lofty ideals all over the world to fight against him. Some people speculated whether the Eighth Prince had really defected to the Demon Sect. You must know that the Demon Sect is not tolerated by the whole world.

Jiang Yue knew that he had really defected to the Demon Sect. Strictly speaking, defected is not accurate, because the Eighth Prince had been replaced since he was a child, and he himself is of demon blood. The Demon Sect in this world is not just a sect with different ideas, but a real demon from outer space. However, it was only known to people in the later period. He was a very important boss in the early period.

While the others were preparing breakfast, the Ninth Prince was not idle either. He took Zhenhai City in the east, and then took down the two cities in the west. Now he had blocked the northeast region. He would probably deal with those barbarians next, because Jiang Yue's caravan had been providing food and grass to the Ninth Prince recently, which was an obvious sign of mobilizing troops.

Besides, the Northeast region is rich in resources and has great agricultural potential. It can be used as a trade hub if it is well developed. Another reason is that the overall strength of the South is still very strong. It is unlikely that the protagonist can fight against many alone. Now the other princes are almost beaten to a pulp, so the protagonist can buy some time for development.

About a month later, Jiang Yue received a message from the puppet that had been deployed in advance. He saw a large army marching towards the barbarians. The puppet reported the number of people. Almost 300,000 troops were divided into several groups and set out from several directions. It seemed that this time the barbarians would not be left any chance to survive.
