"Sure." An Yi did not stop him.

Shangguan Ziqi selected a few people, took a catapult, and went far away from the city. He found a place where there was no one within a few miles and tried it out.

When the powerful explosion resounded throughout the earth, everyone was stunned.

General Chen had never seen anything of such power in his life.

Go and see it yourself.

Several generals followed behind.

"Oh my god, even if I practiced internal skills for two hundred years, I still couldn't create such a big hole with one strike." General Chen exclaimed the most exclamation in his life.

"Prince, what a waste." A deputy general named Ding Zeqiang was shocked and felt that it was a waste to try one. It would be better to throw it directly into the enemy camp.

"Don't worry, there's more." Shangguan Ziqi gave everyone a reassurance.

With the recipe, you can make as much as you want.

"Prince, what is this?" Zhong Weiliang was still not quite sure.

"This is the weapon that my Great Wei used to drive the Canglan dogs back to their homeland a hundred years ago."

"What?" Everyone looked at Shangguan Ziqi in shock.

"Prince, is it...?" General Chen thought of a possibility, but he did not say it clearly.

"Yes, it's just what you think." Shangguan Ziqi gave an affirmative answer.

"Great."

Everyone thought of it: the iron box left by the ancestors of Prince Rong’s Mansion was opened.

"Oh, oh!" a general shouted happily.

Then they all started shouting.

They finally saw the light.

Today, four cities of the Wei Kingdom have been captured by Canglan, and hundreds of thousands of people have become homeless refugees.

They were so heartbroken, but they tried their best but failed to repel the enemy.

Tens of thousands of soldiers had died by then, and the piles of graves stretched as far as the eye could see.

They wanted to cry, but they had no right to do so. As soldiers, they could only shed blood, not tears.

Shangguan Ziqi saw how happy everyone was and did not stop them.

On the tenth day of May, 85,000 people led by the eldest prince arrived at Jinhe City.

With the arrival of so many soldiers, Shangguan Ziqi began to deploy the next arrangements.

The enemy attacked the Wei capital from two directions.

But he divided his men into four groups, not only to recapture the lost city, but also to attack Canglan's city.

With the bomb as the vanguard, he didn't worry about how many flesh and blood the enemy had to feed.

General Chen led 30,000 men to recapture Rongbei City.

The eldest prince led 30,000 people to help Rongyun City.

General Chen's son, General Chen Xiao, led 40,000 men and marched 500 miles west to declare war on Jinlin City of Canglan State.

He led the remaining soldiers to face the Jinjiang City Lord's army in front and recapture the lost cities.

May 15th.

The border troops of the Great Wei advanced northward, launching a counterattack to retake the country.

At the same time, a counterattack to plunder the cities of Canglan Kingdom was launched.

Let’s talk about the third prince.

He carried Shangguan Zishu's coffin and hurried all the way.

The weather was getting hotter, and he was afraid that the bodies would not be preserved on the road, so he arranged for people to prepare ice along the road ahead.

Some wealthy families would dig cellars to store ice in the winter.

In order to return to the capital as quickly as possible, he sometimes chose to take a small road just to save time.

After rushing and hurrying, he finally returned to the capital after 18 days.

Shangguan Ziqi had already written a letter back to Beijing to give to Yu Yuanzheng.

However, after receiving the letter, Yu Yuanzheng did not tell Yu Chaoyang and Cao Nanhua immediately.

Now her father is not in the capital, only she and her mother are here.

She needs to discuss this matter with her mother about what to do better.

Yu Yuanzheng came to the main courtyard and showed the letter to the princess.

The princess was shocked when she saw it.

She would never have thought that Zishu would die.

"How could this happen? How could Zishu, as a high-ranking general, die? With so many soldiers and generals, why would he be required to rush to the front?" The princess couldn't believe it.

I read the letter carefully again from beginning to end.

This is my son's handwriting, there is no mistake.

That is, the content of the letter is true.

The two women were not clear about the situation at that time.

The letter only said that Shangguan Zishu fought bravely, gave his all in the final battle, and ultimately died for his country.

"Mother, the war report has already been sent to the capital, how come this matter has not been spread out?" Yu Yuanzheng was very surprised. Normally, as soon as the war report was sent to the capital, this matter should have been spread out of the palace immediately. How come there was no news at all?

The only news was that my husband had taken the cavalry ahead and just saved a losing battle.

A few days later, the battle report said that my husband led the army and caught the enemy off guard with a burning operation that Zhong Weiliang came up with, and won another battle.

"Your father has already told the emperor what you said. I guess the emperor has a prejudice against Zishu, or he was not mentioned at all in the battle report." The princess guessed.

Yu Yuanzheng thought about it and felt that it was very likely.

The third uncle and the third old lady are spies, and Shangguan Zishu is the third uncle's child. In this case, the emperor must have some thoughts about the second brother.

Perhaps the death of his second brother was the best ending for him, and he died on the battlefield killing Canglan's enemy, which was a worthy death.

"The third prince is on his way back with my second brother's coffin. Should we tell my two younger brothers and sisters now?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't make the decision alone.

"They will know about this sooner or later, so it's better to tell them directly." The princess has never cared much about the two so-called daughters-in-law.

She has always been brooding over what the second and third wives did.

Since the prince kept the people in the palace, she just treated them as two more mouths to feed and didn't care about anything else.

So she didn't consider at all how the two women would react when they found out.

"Ok."

Since this is what her mother thinks, Yu Yuanzheng has nothing to say.

"Qiuye, go call Chaoyang and Nanhua to the main courtyard. Oh, and call Jinling as well." The princess ordered.

All three of them are Shangguan Zishu’s women, so it’s better to let them all know.

"Yes." Qiu Ye took the order and left.

Yu Yuanzheng read the letter again. The content of the letter only talked about this matter and nothing else.

I guess my husband wrote this letter in a very official manner just to let everyone read it.

The three women soon came to the main courtyard.

"Greetings to Mother (Princess Princess), greetings to Crown Prince's Consort." The three women saluted in unison.

"Please sit down." The princess glanced at the three women with a bit of sympathy in her eyes.

"Mother, has there been any news about my husband reported back to the palace?" Cao Nanhua asked anxiously.

She hadn't heard from Shangguan Zishu for a long time, and she was looking forward to it every day.

Apart from occasionally returning to her parents' home, she basically lived an invisible life in the palace.

She hadn't even seen the princess for a long time.

The princess never asked them to stand in a proper manner, and she had exempted them from the morning greetings.

Probably because they didn't want to see them, the two of them didn't come around in front of the princess.

"Yes." The princess said just one simple word and signaled Yu Yuanzheng to show them the letter directly.

Yu Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, but still handed the letter out.

She had a little bit of sympathy and felt that it would be too cruel to show them the letter directly.

They were not mentally prepared at all. When they suddenly found out, would the blow be too heavy?

Cao Nanhua was quicker than Yu Chaoyang. He took two steps forward and snatched the letter away from him.

Then he took out the letter and unfolded it and read it quickly.

But the more she looked, the more her hands shook.

In the end, my whole body was shaking.

"No, no, this is impossible, this is impossible." Cao Nanhua trembled, and tears instantly blurred his vision.

He also speaks incoherently.

She could no longer stand and her body slumped to the ground.

The whole person was like an eggplant hit by frost, full of sadness and helplessness.

Suddenly, she crawled towards the princess again and hugged her legs.

"Mother, this can't be true, right? Who brought this news back? It must be fake." Cao Nanhua shook the princess's legs in search of a negative answer.
