Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Emperor Chu Huangxi insisted on his own way back to the capital. It hadn't been long since the Feiyun Kingdom returned to the capital, but they wanted to go to war again?

Now, except for Shangli State, all other regions in the world have been annexed by Chu State. The current military movements are not concealed at all. Is it a mystery or is it true?

Emperor Qi Zhao of Shangli had a gloomy face. That brat was really crazy!

I used to think it was ridiculous when I heard that he was forced by his ministers to choose a concubine. I didn’t expect that just a few days later, that madman would lead the army to fight again. How much does he love fighting?

Did that kid really think he had been eating for nothing during these years in Liguo?

It's one thing to just be unbelievable, but Shangli still needs to take precautions before it happens.

The military strength of all border cities was secretly doubled, and the scope and frequency of patrols were also adjusted.

Although the entire country was not mobilized to fight, the atmosphere in the country had become unconsciously tense.

Some warmongers in the Chu State were ready to fight, following their Emperor Chu, running happily, with bloodshot eyes.

At this point, Emperor Xihui of the Chu State seemed to have completely released his "nature" and fully implemented the rules of the "One Person Hall". All those who disobeyed him became souls under his sword.

It is unclear whether those who follow him will prosper, but those who go against him will perish...

The whole Chu State was in a state of panic. Emperor Xihui was killing people in the front, while Prince Kang Mu Fengze in the back was working tirelessly to clean up the mess for him. Miraculously, this allowed the Chu State to rally the people's support in the shortest time.

Emperor Qi Zhao frowned here. This Emperor Xi Hui always took people by surprise. He always felt that there was a "luck" on him that pushed him towards higher and higher positions.

May of the ninth year of Xihui.

Emperor Qi Zhao finally couldn't stand Mu Lanxun's covetous gaze from outside Phoenix City anymore, so he took the initiative to sound the horn of attack...

Old friends meet on the battlefield.

The moment she opened her eyes, the overwhelming rain hit her eyes. She suddenly thought that she had fallen into the water again. She puffed out her mouth and waved her arms to try to paddle.

His arms felt nothing but coldness, and there was no resistance at all. The person lying in the mud couldn't help but take a deep breath...

"Cough cough cough..."

"Huh? Where is this?"

She looked at the low-waisted jeans on her legs and the white navel-baring shirt on her upper body in surprise. What a familiar outfit!

There was also a muddy squirrel doll hanging around his waist. The doll's originally fluffy hair had now drooped into a ball, looking as ugly as it could be.

However, the girl, who was like a drowned rat, opened her eyes wide. This was a travel souvenir given to her by her best friend Xingxing. It was a souvenir of visiting the ancient building with her!

Ancient buildings, newlyweds, red veils...

…………

The rain poured down her head. She raised her hand to wipe her face and pinched her cheek hard.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

The next moment she jumped up, "Axun!!"

What's going on? He stabbed himself in the chest and still survived?

She pulled up her collar and looked inside, seeing the nostalgic shoulder straps and the flawless chest. Apart from water droplets, there was not even a small mole.

This is your own body!

"what!!"

A scream suddenly rang out, and her chaotic thoughts instantly returned to normal. She looked up and saw a young girl covering her eyes with her hands, as if she had seen something horrifying.

"Girl, I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

She saw that the little girl in front of her had two buns on her head, was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and was carrying a small bag. The mud on her trouser legs had soaked up to her knees. It seemed that she had been walking in the rain for a long time.

"Girl, don't be afraid. I just got separated from my family and accidentally fell." She hurriedly explained her miserable appearance.

But the little girl blushed and accused him, "You, your clothes are too indecent! How can you be alone in this deep forest?"

She was stunned for a moment.

Oh! Yes! Low-rise jeans and a cropped shirt—this kind of outfit is really too daring here.

But she had no choice. She had nothing on her body except the clothes. Fortunately... she met a woman.

She desperately wanted to know where this place was and what year and month it was.

The girl was young after all, and seeing that she was also a woman, and in a dishevel, shivering in the rain, he couldn't bear it after all. The two of them huddled together under an oil-paper umbrella and stumbled out of the woods.

"Miss, my last name is Feng, and my given name is Hui. You can call me Ah Hui."

She, Feng Xili who had traveled through time again, smiled and tried to get close to her "noble man".

The little girl smiled weakly, "Sister Ah Hui, I am Xing Cui, the maid of Miss Song, the governor of Zexu City. I returned home today after visiting my relatives in my hometown. I didn't expect to encounter such a heavy rain."

Feng Xili was stunned when she heard the three words "Zexu City".

A city for choosing a son-in-law? What city for choosing a son-in-law? Where did this city for choosing a son-in-law come from?

She bit her lip and looked carefully at the childish girl next to her, "Xing Cui, does Zexu City belong to the territory of Shangli Kingdom?"

Xing Cui blinked and looked at her in shock, as if she had heard something incredible.

Feng Xili was afraid to breathe, and her mind went blank for a moment, until Xing Cui stretched out her small hand to touch her forehead, "Is Sister Hui sick? Zexu City is the largest city among the eleven cities on the Shangli border. How can it not belong to Shangli?"

Eleven Border Cities! Shangli!

Thank God! It's Shangli! It really is Shangli!

At that moment, she really wanted to cheer to the sky!

"Oh, that's good. It's good that it's Shangli. By the way, how many years has it been since the recruitment started?"

She felt that it hadn't been long. She wondered what had become of the hot pot restaurant she had left behind. How would she reunite with Sister Zhong and Brother Wang, who were in charge of the restaurant?

If they could successfully recognize each other, she should be able to live a carefree life for a while thanks to the revenue from the hot pot restaurant.

By the way, I want to check on Axun's condition. Is his detoxification going smoothly? Is the "forgetfulness" effective? Is he back home safely?

Xing Cui frowned, and for a moment Feng Xili was reminded of that little girl Lai Xiang...

"It's been twenty-seven years since the Qizhao Emperor! Last year, His Majesty appointed His Royal Highness Prince An as the next Crown Prince."

Feng Xili nodded subconsciously. Twenty-seven years, that is, one year had passed...

and many more!

"Qizhao... twenty-seven years? Twenty-seven???"

She stopped in her tracks, her eyes almost popping out of her head, and she felt an uncontrollable chill all over her body.

Xing Cui didn't understand what was going on and kept nodding her head.

"Yes! It's been twenty-seven years since the opening of the recruitment! Even your Majesty's eldest grandson would run away!"

Feng Xili was struck by lightning again, leaving her burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Twenty-seven years!!

Eleven years have passed???
