When Shen Chou returned, before Yan Han could say anything, Shen Chou knelt on the ground again and said, "Master, please give me another 500 soldiers and horses. I will conquer the next city for you!"

Yan Han frowned, "My disciple, when did you become so eager for quick success? We are all exhausted after fighting all night, and the next city is Liuzhou Prefecture. Even if there are people inside who are colluding with us, the soldiers under the command of the captain are not easy to underestimate. 500 soldiers will not be enough to fill their teeth."

"Furthermore, that traitor, the Tongpan, has already defected to the enemy..."

Shen Chou nodded, "Okay! Since Master agrees, I will take my people and leave."

Yan Han was speechless. When had he agreed? What kind of disciple had he accepted?

Two days later, Yan Han stood on the city wall of Liuzhou Prefecture and overlooked the entire city.

Some are hard to describe.

In the next few days, Shen Chou once again captured two cities without any soldiers. Every time he arrived at a place, he could steadily gain the morale of the army.

Moreover, he is particularly good at using people. With just one glance, he can pick out the most loyal one from the vast crowd to serve him. He even understands the strengths and weaknesses of each person and turns them back into the knife in his hand to control these people and make them willingly work for him. It is precisely because of this that in just a few days, everyone respectfully calls him General Shen.

The speed at which he won people's hearts was so fast that even Yan Han had to admit defeat.

He never knew that the little apprentice he took in on a whim would be so powerful.

Just as Shen Chou was killing everyone, Yu Ruyue was swaying in the carriage, feeling like she was about to vomit what she had eaten in the morning.

Liang Shulan touched her daughter's face distressedly and said, "Don't hold on in the carriage any longer. Go back to the space as soon as possible."

"It's too hot outside, like a big steamer. Go back and eat some fruit and have a good sleep. If anyone comes looking for you, I'll call you out."

Yu Dehou, who was driving the carriage, also agreed, "Yes! My dear daughter, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Your mother and I will be watching from outside."

Yu Ruyue nodded and slipped into the space again.

As soon as she entered, she immediately opened the refrigerator, took out the strawberries and cherries she bought yesterday, washed them carefully, put them on the coffee table, took out her computer, and searched for the latest popular TV series.

The first one is the TV series adapted from the Black Lotus Strategy Manual.

She really liked reading this novel, especially the part where Zi Qi was dreaming, which was so sweet to her heart. So she immediately got ready and turned on the TV series. She took a bite of cherry and a bite of strawberry, watching her beloved TV series. In an instant, she became calm and didn't even feel disgusted at all.

But the people outside are suffering terribly.

The ground was dry and cracked, devoid of any moisture. The sun scorched people, drenched in sweat. They lowered their heads, feeling a bit dizzy. Their noses, mouths, and throats were all cracked and painful, and they couldn't even utter a word...

Qin Wanrou wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed deeply, "Ah! When will this miserable life end? We haven't even seen a river along the way. How much water do we have left?"

Chunju licked her chapped lips and replied, "Miss! If you save some, it can last you three or four days."

Qin Wanrou wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief again. "Your mouth looks dry. Go drink a sip. It's not a big deal."

Although Chunju nodded in agreement, she still didn't drink the water.

Liang Shulan and Yu Dehou were also sweating profusely due to the heat. Although it was already autumn, the autumn heat was still very severe. Moreover, it had not rained since the last hailstorm. The hailstorms had lasted for a whole day, as if they were specifically destroying crops and had no effect on alleviating the drought.

We walked like this until the evening, and everyone finally stopped. Some people started cooking, while others started resting.

Liang Shulan's butt was sore from being shaken around in the carriage that she got out and immediately went to the carriage behind her to find Qin Haowen's mother.

"Sister Feng! How are you?"

Feng Han smiled and opened the curtain, "Sister Shulan! I'm fine!"

"As long as you're alright, let's go and chat with Madam Lin and Wanrou!"

After these few days of long journey, the women have established a deep friendship.

Anyway, every time they stopped, they didn't have to cook, so they gathered together to chat and kill time.

It can be considered as finding joy in suffering.

"By the way! Why haven't I seen Ruyue these past two days? Has she not recovered yet?"

Liang Shulan sighed, "You all know what happened before. She tried to save her eldest uncle day and night, trying to find ways to get help, but in the end, she couldn't save him. She was really upset, and she was overly tired, so she couldn't recover for a while."

Qin Wanrou also sighed deeply, "Who would have thought that the damned county magistrate would be so greedy? Even Madam Sun couldn't do anything about it. Ruyue also tried her best."

Just as these ladies were cursing the government and feeling sorry for Shen Chou, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hmph! A bastard like Shen Chou, who killed his father for a woman, shouldn't be released. In my opinion, the county magistrate is also trying to rid the people of this evil. Besides, wasn't it Yu Ruyue who sent Shen Chou in jail personally? Why are you pretending to be upset now?"

"If she had just obeyed my father, wouldn't there have been so many problems? My second brother doesn't like him anyway. He's not the same as a father and son."

Liang Shulan raised her head and met Shen Yu's resentful eyes.

"You fake, you actually have the nerve to show up in front of me? If my daughter hadn't been kind and didn't go to the Meng family to expose you, would you still be here being so sarcastic with us?"

"And my daughter has her own reasons for doing that!"

"Unlike your family, your father killed his wife for a prostitute. Your prostitute mother knew about it and helped your father cover up the crime. You are even more ridiculous. You insisted that my noodle factory was yours and tricked the Meng family into marrying you!"

Qin Wanrou rolled her eyes and echoed, "You still have the nerve to criticize others? You're all a family, liars, murderers, and criminals all gathered together."

"Sure enough! Birds of a feather flock together. I don't think there's anything good about the Meng family either."

Shen Yu's face turned pale and blue after hearing what she said.

She just looked down on Liang Shulan, a peasant, for chatting and laughing with the young lady of the Li family, Mrs. Hu, and the two ladies of the Lin family.

She believed that only someone of her noble status could sit with them.

But these people just ignored her.

When the Meng family found out that the noodle factory was not hers, they almost kicked her out.

If she hadn't gotten pregnant with Meng Chen's child, she would probably be thrown into jail like her mother.

Thinking of her own mother's miserable plight, she was even more furious. "Hmph! Your daughter is just a bride for my Shen family, a thing bought for a few taels of silver. How dare you disobey the wishes of the master family and refuse to be intimate with my father? You deserve to be killed. It's because we Shen family members are kindhearted that you let you get away with this. In my opinion, with Yu Ruyue's status, you should kneel beside me and serve me."
