The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

night.

After Liu Ping'an finished washing himself and lay in bed, his wife gently pushed him.

"Dad, why are you working so hard today? Didn't Miss Yun say to take it slow?"

Hearing this, he sat up and leaned back on the couch, sighing.

"Miss Yun asked for the house to be expanded right after something like this happened in the county. I suspect this incident will become more and more serious, and some people may flee like we did back then. This house may be built to help them."

"It won't get any bigger, right?"

"Who knows what will happen next? Just like us, we originally thought we would live in the village forever. Who could have predicted that we would escape and live well?"

"Too."

Thinking about the present day, Liu Ping'an's wife smiled while lying in bed.

After coming here, my daughter has gained some weight and grown a lot taller.

"Okay, let's go to sleep. Don't think too much. Miss Yun is in charge of everything. We just need to listen to her and do whatever she tells us to do."

Liu Ping'an lay down, pulled up the thin quilt to cover himself, turned around and patted his wife, "Go to sleep, you still have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Qin Wan's courtyard.

Qin Wan and Bai Zhi brought the dried herbs back into the house together.

Bai Zhi held the herbs and looked at Qin Wan. "Miss, why did Miss Yun suddenly ask to expand the house? Isn't there enough space for everyone now?"

"You know what happened in Qingping County, right?"

Bai Zhi nodded, "But does this have anything to do with this matter?"

"Yes, it matters a lot."

Qin Wan had been in a high position before, and had seen and experienced more than these people.

When she saw Yun Zhi asking people to build a house, she immediately understood the key.

"Now there's a conflict between the powerful and the common people, who are gradually squeezing out their living space. Now, these people have begun to awaken and resist. This situation will only get worse until a balance is reached."

Qin Wan put the last of the herbs into the house. "In short, the Tianqi Kingdom is going to be in chaos."

Bai Zhi opened her mouth wide and looked at her in shock, "No... That's impossible."

"Baizhi, everything is possible."

"but……"

She looked in the direction of the Yun family and said, "If we follow Miss Yun, maybe we can still survive in this chaotic world."

After all, even she could only roughly guess what was going on after Miss Yun took this step.

A person who was born in a small county town and had never seen anything could deduce the results based on these small things. What foresight he had.

Qin Wan believed that she couldn't do it, and her father couldn't do it either.

I never thought that this place I came to unexpectedly would become my home.

"It's late, let's go to bed."

Lin.

"Old man, if you don't want to sleep, get up and don't disturb others' sleep."

Lin Xuehai stopped tossing and turning in bed. "Oh, I really envy people like you who know nothing."

"I understand now that you've said it."

"Don't say it, don't say it."

"Forget it if you don't tell me."

She turned over and ignored him.

Lin Xuehai lay flat on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case.

Before, Meimei escaped because she thought the world would be in chaos. Doesn’t what is happening in Qingping County now prove it?

In addition, Meimei asked people to build houses, probably to accommodate refugees in the future.

This world is really going to be in chaos.

Are they going to start competing for the world in the future?

Lin Xuehai heard the gentle breathing sounds coming from beside him and knew that his wife was asleep.

He sighed, and suddenly felt a little bit like everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober.

Forget it, go to sleep.

He is not as smart as his mother, but he has read some sage books for a few years, and he is a good grandfather who helps when it is necessary.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve again, and it was also the second year they had spent here.

I don’t know if it was their illusion, but since the incident in Qingping County, more and more merchants have moved away with their property.

As a result, they robbed several caravans.

With all kinds of items they brought, this New Year's Eve was particularly grand.

All the people in Yunjiazhai gathered on that open space, took out all the cooking utensils, and even moved out a lot of tables and chairs.

A bonfire was lit in the center and hot dishes were placed on the table.

The Lin family also took out the fruit wine they had brewed before. It was made from wild fruits picked in the mountains a few months ago. It was not very intoxicating, but had a fruity aroma. Even children could drink a few sips.

After the last dish was served, the crowd found a seat nearby and sat down.

Just as they were about to start eating, Liu Ping'an and his wife and daughter walked over to Yun Zhi's table.

Holding the bowl of fruit wine in his hand, he looked at Yun Zhi with admiration, "Our Liu family can have this day because of Miss Yun's leadership. Without Miss Yun, our family might have died, so this glass of wine is in my honor to Miss Yun."

After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.

He doesn't care who Yun Zhi is. Anyone who can give him a good life is a good person, and he is willing to follow him.

Liu Ping'an handed the empty bowl to his wife and asked her to fill it up again.

"This cup is for you, Brother Youde. Thank you for thinking of our family and inviting us along before you left. Thank you so much."

After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.

He took the third bowl and looked at Zhou Yifeng, "This one is to thank you, Mr. Zhou. It's you who taught us martial arts, which made us stronger and stronger, and kept us alive. Thank you very much."

After drinking three bowls, Liu Ping'an returned to his original place with his wife and daughter.

After they returned to the table, the people behind them tacitly put their families first, walked over to Yun Zhi with wine, and thanked her one by one.

It was a bit emotional, and my eyes were red by the end.

At the Lin family’s side, the second son of the Lin family smiled and bumped his eldest brother with his elbow.

"Brother, do you think our Meimei looks like the village chief now? Hehe."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by his own father, "What village chief? If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."

It's obviously a bit like a minister paying homage to the king.

After everyone had toasted, Qin Wan came out with Bai Zhi.

The two of them were the last to join the group.

"Miss Yun, I, Qin Wan, offer you a toast and wish all your wishes come true."

Yun Zhi looked at her. How much did she guess?

Another smart guy.

Yun Zhi raised the corner of her mouth and nodded at her.

They gathered here on New Year's Eve, drinking and having fun.

Countless people died on this winter night. Without enough food and warm clothes, the only outcome was death.

There are also countless people who choose to become bandits in this winter.

The first thing they did when they became bandits was to turn their butcher knives against the civilians who were also suffering.

They looted village after village and obtained their few remaining food items.

In this winter when families should be reunited, countless people choose to leave their homes to find a place to settle down.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Yun Zhi summoned everyone in Yunjiazhai to gather in the open space.

"I think everyone has seen people migrating during this period."

Indeed, just after New Year's Eve, they saw groups of people passing by on the top of the mountain.

For this purpose, the guards went down to investigate.

The news we received was that many civilians had chosen to become bandits and had massacred people from several villages.

There were also several incidents of tenants attacking landlords in the county town, and several small landlords were killed. The number of casualties was increasing.

Many civilians had to flee their homes during the New Year and find a place to survive.

Originally, they also wanted to accept these people, but Yun Zhi didn't say anything, so no one dared to do so.

"From today on, our Yun Family Village will begin to take in these people."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below showed expressions of surprise.

They are all a group of kind people. Without harming their own interests, they are willing to help those who have the same miserable fate.

"However, you can't just accept anyone. This person must be of good character. I don't want to recruit someone who is treacherous, abandons his wife and daughter, or is lazy. So you must observe them for a while before deciding whether to accept them or not."

"Does everyone know?"

"Don't worry, Miss Yun. We all understand the principles and will never let someone like that in to ruin our place."

After all, this is their home. Who would do something so thankless?

Yun Zhi nodded, "One last thing."

Facing the gazes of these people, she said, "From now on, please change the address. You don't have to call me Miss Yun anymore."

"Change to..."

Yun Zhi paused, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and at this moment her aura was no longer concealed.

She completely displayed the majesty she had when she was an empress in her previous life.

The people below dared not look at her directly and wanted to crawl at her feet.

Finally, Yun Zhi's words reached their ears clearly.

"My Lord."
