Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Beijing,

A cry of surprise came from the inner courtyard of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion:

"The prince is awake!!"

"The prince is awake!!"

The bed is carved from mahogany, with dragon and phoenix patterns that are lifelike, and the tassels hanging from the edge of the bed are shining with a strange brilliance.

The young prince of Zhenbei opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with confusion, and the old servant beside him wiped his tears and cried like a tearful man.

"Buddha bless you, the prince has finally woken up!"

"Thank God."

Zhou Jin, the son of Zhenbei Marquis, was still in a state of confusion.

"What year is it now?"

His voice was low and hoarse, giving people a sense of oppression. The old servant hurriedly explained:

"Six months have passed since the Battle of Beisheng Pass. Your Majesty changed the country's name to Jing Kang. It is now mid-October of the first year of Jing Kang in the lunar calendar."

"Jing Kang?"

Zhou Jin's mind flashed with the scene outside Beisheng Pass, where corpses covered the ground, blood stained their robes, and the warriors who fought to the death finally fell one by one in front of the pass.

Beisheng Pass was a crucial pass for Daxia to defend against the northern barbarians, but it ultimately became a shackle that cut off the soldiers' hopes of survival. His eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty light:

"How did I survive?"

The old servant wiped his tears and began to tell the story.

Zhou Jin led the Beisheng Guards to raid the Beiman camp. After a great victory, they were blocked outside the pass. The barbarian army of 5 surrounded them. The Beisheng Guards were almost completely killed or wounded. When he was seriously injured and unconscious,

The Yang family generals and the secret guard team arrived and repelled the Northern Barbarian army. Zhou Jin recovered from his injuries but remained unconscious and was taken back to the capital by the Marquis.

"You said the secret guards were dispatched?"

"The entire squad of 100 men was killed. They were the ones who held back the Northern Barbarian army. Otherwise, the Yang family generals wouldn't have been able to rescue the Crown Prince in time."

He clenched his fists under the quilt and said in a cold voice:

"How did the Beishengguandu Commander deal with it?"

"The Emperor sent someone to reprimand him and fined him three years' salary..."

“Very good, really good!”

Zhou Jin laughed in anger, his pale cheeks revealing a bloodthirsty light. He forced himself to stay awake and looked towards the northwest:

"Prepare the carriage immediately. I'm going to the northwest... and have Wang Chao come to see me."

Speaking of both sides,

The official silver was behind the commander-in-chief, which was beyond Murong Chen's control. He also realized that his high-profile visit to Tangjia Village might have been noticed.

He brought his men to meet up with Murong Hai. With the protection of the newly established Beisheng Guard, he would be safe whether he went to Beijing or delivered memorials secretly. There was a possibility that no one would be left alive in Tangjia Village.

It is said that those who achieve great things must be ruthless. Murong Chen thinks that he is not capable of doing great things and cannot be ruthless. What should he do?

"I think we can wait and see and take the initiative."

Xiao Yunxi walked in.

Since ancient times, the struggle for power has always been cruel.

The commander-in-chief holds a large army and intends to change course and overturn the situation in the northwest. The emperor will certainly not tolerate this. Confiscation of property is the least of his punishment, and he may even exterminate his entire clan.

It's death anyway, the commander must want to kill him to silence him.

The beggar was rescued and the whole village knew about it. They also heard that Lujiazhuang came to pick him up yesterday. The news had leaked and now they needed to save themselves.

Murong Chen stared at Xiao Yunxi:

"Did you hear everything?"

Wave your hands:

"That's not important. The commander-in-chief has probably already received the news. Even if he has doubts, he will act without hesitation. He could even massacre an entire village or even a whole county. We must take the initiative."

There is really no need to worry about the details, the most urgent thing is to solve the problem:

"You said to wait and see, but now we need to take the initiative. Could you please tell me how to do that?"

......

At the entrance of Tangjia Village,

There were many people filing complaints, and even more people watching the fun. This was simply a stage tailor-made for Fan Chunhua and his wife, with the couple surrounded by people.

"I heard that the county magistrate has a close relationship with Tangjia Village. Is that true?"

"How many people died in the tiger-hunting team yesterday?"

"Is the county magistrate really going to make the decision for us?"

Tang Hao deliberately kept the secret.

He picked peanuts and fed them to Fan Chunhua, who then cracked melon seeds and fed them to him. The onlookers immediately felt offended. We are here to eat melons, not dog food!

Besides,

Can you guys please be a little more hygienic? Isn't it disgusting to eat the saliva you ate from eating melon seeds?

"Let me tell you, the county magistrate is a righteous official who stands up for us, the people. If you have any grievances, go and seek justice for them. I guarantee that it will be resolved for you."

"How are the people rescued by the Tiger Hunting Team doing?"

"The one from Lujiazhuang has a broken leg and will be crippled from now on."

"I heard they rescued two people, but where's the other one?"

"That guy hasn't woken up yet, who knows."

Someone in the crowd quietly left. Tang Hao took a look and grinned with a smug look.

"Let me tell you, that tofu was invented by our Tangjia Village..."

Dongshan Town,

Murong Hai was losing his temper. He solved the official silver case, but the task of suppressing the bandits was given to someone else. Who could be happy?

"That old Wu Sigui only knows how to take advantage of others. He's a complete bastard!"

"Don't give me the chance, I'll kill you."

Just as he was cursing, Murong Chen's personal servant came with a letter.

Beisheng Pass,

When the commander-in-chief Wu Sigui received the letter sent by carrier pigeon, his eyes narrowed into slits. The person was in Tangjia Village, but he had not woken up yet. This was good news because the dead could not speak.

"Sir, Murong Chen is in Tangjia Village. If we go there with great fanfare, I'm afraid..."

"Idiot! A group of bandits escaped from the mountains and attacked Tangjia Village. County Magistrate Murong died in battle to protect the people. What does this have to do with us?"

There were a series of military camps along the main road leading out of Piaomiao Peak. The camp in the middle received a letter from Wu Sigui via carrier pigeon and immediately summoned his confidants.

"Choose 200 brothers, dress up as bandits, and attack Tangjia Village. We have only one request: leave no one alive!"

The back mountain of Tangjia Village,

Ma Hu brought a group of ragged people who were eating dry food. They were the confidants of the Third Master and were escorting Ma Hu to Jiangnan.

"Everything is ready. We are going to Tangjia Village tonight."

"The Third Master said he would escort you to Jiangnan."

Ma Hu looked at the man grimly:

"From now on there will be no Third Master, only me, the Horse Husband."

“We….Ugh…”

The horse owner pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the heart. The man opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it. The others clenched their knives and gnashed their teeth. That was their brother.

He did not die at the hands of the enemy, but was killed by people from the Ma family.

"There is no Third Master, only Ma Hu. Do you accept this?"

Everyone wanted to kill him, but his wife and children were all in the hands of the Third Master. What would they do if they killed Ma Hu's family?

"Tell me everything, do you accept it?"

"Clothes!"

"Hahaha!"

Ma Hu laughed crazily, and tears started to flow down his face. He could just eat and wait for death, so why did he have to live like a rat?

It’s all because of that bitch Ma Cuilan. Even if he wants to run away, he has to kill Ma Cuilan before leaving!
