Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

When we returned to our residence, there was no panic in the huge villa, and the epidemic was kept secret well.

The next two days were calm.

Apart from the five hundred women starting to have fever and vomit, there were no other symptoms.

However, they all thought it was a symptom of heatstroke, so they didn't take it seriously.

Doctor Jiang has been staying indoors, concentrating on developing an antidote.

Cang Jing lived here in a depressed mood, waiting for news from Liu Ruoyu. Xiao Tao arranged his food, clothing, and daily life, and took good care of him.

On the third day, the secret guard finally brought back news about Liu Ruoyu.

Just as Song Zhi thought, she really went to Wei State.

After telling Cang Qiong the result, he set out for the State of Wei without hesitation.

Due to her status, Song Zhi could no longer move around freely like before, so she prepared a lot of self-defense items for Cang Jian and equipped him with countless secret guards.

Cang Qiong was frightened by Song Zhi's seriousness, "There shouldn't be such a big fuss."

Song Zhi thought about Jiang Li's abilities, then turned around and stuffed two more bottles of life-extending pills into his hands.

This was made by Dr. Jiang, who said that as long as there is a breath, the person can stay alive.

Cang Qiong, "Why do I suddenly feel so difficult? Do you know something?"

Song Zhi didn't answer directly, but patted him on the back earnestly, "Well, the journey ahead is long and arduous, so please take care."

Cang Qiong shook his head honestly, "No, no, no, I don't think it's a matter of the mountains being high and the roads being long. If the mountains are high and the roads are long, there's no need for so many life-extending pills and secret guards."

Song Zhi pretended to be mysterious and looked towards the horizon with his hands behind his back, "Cang Jian."

It was the first time she called his name so formally.

Even when Song Yang and Madam Cang wanted to bring them together, they didn't call them so seriously.

Cang Qiong straightened his back unconsciously, "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you really like Ruoyu? Even if she's not perfect, even if she has a not-so-glorious past and entanglements?"

Cang Qiong was stunned for a moment, "Do you know something? What's going on? Can you please stop giving me riddles?"

Song Zhi's eyes were firm. "Answer me first, and think carefully before answering me."

Cang Qiong's tone suddenly softened, "She was married before, right? And that man didn't even cherish her and hurt her deeply."

Song Zhi was startled, but said calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Cang Qiong sat back and smiled, "When she likes someone, she can sense even the slightest emotional ups and downs. When you got married, she saw the red silk and wedding dress, and her eyes were filled with endless hatred. She said that what she hated most in her life was wedding banquets. If it weren't for you, she would never have attended such an occasion."

Song Zhi said calmly, "It would be too arbitrary to judge based on just this one preference."

Cang Qiong said, "There's more to it than just this. There are many, many details, so I already knew she was married."

"I can answer your question very seriously. I like her and love her. I am willing to accept all her good and bad qualities. My feelings for her are based on her beauty, her talent, and her true nature. She is a very good girl. My mother even said that if I could marry her, I would be marrying above my station."

Cang Jian spoke with conviction and a pious look.

Song Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead. I hope you can keep your word."

"I'll do it."

Cang Jian's eyes were full of confidence.

The two of them had almost the same thing to say, and since it was getting late, Song Zhi asked him to pack his bags and set off.

He nodded, mounted his horse, and rode northward, his hair sparkling in the sunlight.

With anticipation of reunion, he even swung the reins with unusual joy.

Song Zhi felt a little nervous as he watched Cang Jian leave, hoping that everything would go well.

Mu Nanqi knew that she was worried, so he said, "He's not a child anymore. He'll have to face many things sooner or later."

Song Zhi said: "Once we conquer Tianqi, we will attack Li and take back the kingdom that rightfully belongs to her."

Mu Nanqi always let her do as she pleased without any objection.

But it is not easy to capture Tianqi. The 300,000 cavalry are like a solid wall and the root of Tianqi.

If they try to break it by force, they will also get hurt.

Song Zhi didn't want to use such a fighting method that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

However, compared to their difficulties, Mu Yuanzhi was obviously more anxious.

After the Wei State learned that there were no cavalry stationed on the northern border, it began to get restless. If Jiang Li had not been there to use the Li State as pressure to constantly make things difficult for the Wei Emperor and his men, the Wei army would have already set out on the expedition.

The State of Wei offended the countries around it one by one, but it did so one by one, as it did not want to offend two at the same time.

So far, the State of Wei has only been preparing to deal with Jiang Li first, and has not sent troops directly.

But this still brought a lot of pressure to Mu Yuanzhi.

He couldn't pray that Jiang Li could always deal with the other party. He had to fill the hole at the border before he could feel at ease.

So he increased taxes by half again and began compulsory conscription to garrison the border.

As a result, most of the young and middle-aged laborers in the family were taken away. It was the time for planting and arranging the fields, and only women and children were left busy in the fields with large fields of rice seedlings.

In addition, countless women from various cities and regions had taken refuge with Song Zhi. It can be said that for a while, many cities were left with only the elderly and children, and became empty.

Well, the children are mostly boys.

Almost all the girls who were not liked by others came to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi gave them the opportunity to choose what they were interested in to study, such as reading and writing, doing business and accounting, and wielding swords and guns.

As long as they want to, they can learn.

Many things and skills are no longer exclusive to men, and people are surprised to find that many women have shown higher talents than most men.

Song Zhi led everyone to open up a different new world, and the entire Phoenix Country was full of vitality and thriving.

Only in Tianqi did the people begin to live in poverty.

After hearing about the situation, the people of Huangguo began to feel fortunate that they no longer belonged to Tianqi and had escaped disaster.

Thinking of the half-barren land in Tianqi, Song Zhi had a premonition that there might be a famine this year, so he asked Qin Yue to disguise herself as a businessman and secretly go to various countries to purchase grain.

In order not to attract attention, she specifically told Qin Yue to buy less each time and accumulate small amounts to buy from various places.

After buying them, she planned to put them all in Yuebai so that she wouldn't have to worry about any problems.

Qin Yue took the order and left.

Xiao Tao came over and said, "Miss, there are people reacting at the quarry."

Song Zhi quickly said, "Separate them and tell them to take them to the hospital for treatment individually."

"Okay, and those women. Their condition has taken a turn for the worse. Many of them are vomiting more and more. It's starting to cause panic. Should we intervene?"

Song Zhi's eyes narrowed. "No need. As long as the people don't find out about their situation, just let them panic."
