Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The Yun family in the west sent a letter saying that they had evacuated.

This made the nearly 300,000 troops gathered by the Ouyang family feel confused and looked around as if they had drawn their swords.

After the final discussion.

The Ouyang family, who had no intention of fighting, no longer spent time with Chenpi who had been staying here to harass them.

He simply split the troops in his hands into two and sent them to the rear of the Yun and Wu families.

"If you're so cautious, I'm afraid you'll be hated by others."

After hearing all this, Qin Ming couldn't help laughing.

Chenpi agrees with this.

"You are absolutely right. The Ouyang family is now hated to death by the Yun and Wu families."

"They say they are deliberately delaying the deployment of troops."

"They gathered a massive army of 300,000, but in the end, they didn't even go to the battlefield. They put in their efforts, but they didn't get any results and were even scolded."

The Ouyang family's hesitation affected the war situation and not only caused gaps on the battlefield.

It will also cause several other first-class aristocratic families to start hiding their strength and distrust each other.

After all, no one wants to waste so much energy in vain and have their vitality drained away by Daqian.

If after a round of hard fighting with Qin Ming, I find myself in a weak position and am swallowed up by the other three families, I will be truly heartbroken.

After listening to the whole thing, Qin Ming suddenly laughed.

He walked up and patted Chenpi on the shoulder, saying meaningfully:

"Chenpi, you are the greatest hero in this battle."

"Your Majesty, please stop praising me. I know my own worth very well."

Chenpi waved his hands repeatedly.

He felt that both Ye Shoujiang and his team, as well as Qin Ming's side, had made much greater contributions than himself.

But what Chen Pi didn't know was that Qin Ming was telling the truth.

If Chen Pi had not held back the Ouyang family, causing the Four Pillars to feel resentful, they would not have held back so quickly and would have chosen to withdraw their troops quickly to recuperate.

"Okay, take the brothers to rest for a while recently. I will arrange an easy job for you."

"What kind of work?"

Chen Pi looked at Qin Ming curiously.

This is the front line, there is no easy mission here.

Qin Ming smiled and opened a secret compartment on a nearby shelf, then took out a handful of seeds.

"I recently took over this area, and even some farmland in the hands of nobles."

"It's said that the Yan Dynasty's strength is due to its good soil. Just throwing a handful of seeds into the ground will yield a bountiful harvest. I'm very curious, so I invite you to try it."

Chenpi finally understood what Qin Ming was going to do.

"Farming, Your Majesty? But this... is on someone else's land!"

"So what? The Yan army may not be able to fight back in the short term."

Qin Ming originally had less than 3,000 troops left to deploy, and he did not dare to touch these lands.

But Chenpi's arrival increased the number of his troops to more than 10,000.

In addition, Chenpi brought a lot of weapons and ammunition this time.

This also gave Qin Ming the opportunity to control more areas.

"Let's not talk about the distant places for now. How about I give you the area within fifteen miles of the sea outpost?"

Qin Ming pointed to the location next to his base camp.

Chenpi took a quick look and nodded.

"That's fine."

Chenpi is an honest person and does whatever he says.

At noon that day, he carried a batch of makeshift farm tools and went to hoe the fields with his men.

Qin Ming called the army's logistics soldiers and asked them to record data in the farmland every day.

If the final statistics show that the land productivity of the Yan Dynasty is really as high as the legend says.

Qin Ming was ready to put in some effort to take control of the land left vacant by the nobles after their migration.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

For now, we still have to see the direction of the wind within the Yan Dynasty.

At this time, Qin Ming was thinking about the interior of Yan Dynasty and Tianwu City.

In a huge courtyard that was hundreds of feet long and wide, hundreds of Wu family members stood inside.

Their faces were filled with seriousness, and the atmosphere was almost stagnant.

Wu Tianxing was kneeling in the front, and beside him lay a bloody figure.

In front of everyone sat several elders from the Wu family's main family.

The person in the lead is the head of this generation, Wu Wenzhou!

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Wu Wenzhou slowly stood up and clasped his fists before everyone, saying:

"Everyone who came here today must know what it is."

"The Wu family suffered heavy losses on the battlefield against Daqian, and the responsibility lies entirely with my son's mistaken trust in a villain!"

"You made such a huge mistake, and it's my fault that I, Wu Wenzhou, made the wrong choice of people. My father and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a jade disk from his arms.

"This is the Wu family's Patriarch's Jade Bi. From today on, I will resign as Patriarch. Wu Tianxing will face the wall for three months, and then be handed over to the family for investigation. If he commits the same offense again, his position as Young Master will be removed!"

hiss!

As soon as these words were spoken, all the members of the Wu family present gasped.

Wu Wenzhou is worthy of being the person who has been in charge of the Wu family for more than 30 years.

Just a few words silenced everyone from top to bottom.

But such a huge family would not be able to function without him.

Therefore, the members of the surrounding family hurried forward to advise:

"Master, no one could have predicted this in advance. It's understandable that the young master fell into the trap!"

"You must not resign as the head of the family. This is an extraordinary period. Without you, how can we fight against the Daqian army?"

In addition to them, several elderly people in the family also spoke up in agreement.

In fact, everyone understood that Wu Wenzhou's move was a retreat in order to advance.

The Wu family can't do without him even if it lacks anyone else.

This statement was just to allow himself to take the main blame.

He took the opportunity to reduce Wu Tianxing's responsibilities and temporarily keep his own son's position as the young master of the family.

Finally, after everyone's joint persuasion, Wu Wenzhou refused for several rounds before finally giving up the idea of ​​stepping down as the head of the family.

After some hesitation, he went on to say some nice words.

"How could Wen Zhou deserve such kindness from you all?"

"Since you all trust me, I can temporarily take over the position of Patriarch. If there are any omissions in the future, you can discuss the selection of the next Patriarch at any time!"

Most people present were supportive.

Only some people who had conflicts with Wu Wenzhou just watched coldly and let him perform.

Ultimately, the Wu family is still ruled by Wu Wenzhou.

Although they made a big mistake and suffered heavy losses this time, Wu Wenzhou quickly stopped the attack and asked Wu Tianxing to withdraw his troops.

This way they didn't really suffer any damage to their foundation, and Wu Wenzhou's position remained stable.

Although this matter was quickly covered up, it did involve the major event of a change in the head of the family.

Wu Wenzhou saw clearly the attitudes and behaviors of many people after encountering this incident.

He immediately remembered several people who wanted him to be removed from his position, either openly or secretly.

Wu Tianxing, who was kneeling in front with Qin Yue, felt a chill in his heart and immediately guessed what might happen next.

According to his father's vindictive and overbearing character.

I’m afraid these people will be in trouble after today’s meeting.
