The all-knowing man thought for a moment and said, "These are all live animals, so it's not good to transport them by cart or horse. I'll find someone to drive them."

Ji Yunshuang nodded, "Bring more people with you when herding livestock to avoid trouble on the road."

Although Jiangzhou did not descend into chaos due to a series of appeasement policies issued by Prince Rui, there were still many displaced people causing trouble in various places.

These refugees wandered from place to place, surviving by stealing chickens and dogs. Meanwhile, the main military force of Jiangzhou was engaged in fighting the Qi army, leaving these refugees without a fixed place to live.

For the time being, the government has not had the time to deal with these displaced people.

Although Wan Shitong is now mainly responsible for managing Ji Yunshuang's various estates, he is still well-informed. He is also aware of matters related to the refugees.

He said, "Don't worry, big sister, I'll be careful."

Ji Yunshuang nodded, very satisfied with the progress of Wan Shitong, and praised him, "It is precisely because I trust you that I entrusted you with such an important task."

As she spoke, she inquired about the know-it-all's literacy skills. She then gave him the scientific feeding manual she had copied from the library.

"Take a look at this booklet and try the methods in it. Feed the baby half using the methods in this booklet and the other half using the original methods. Then see which method works better."

Know-It-All took the book and immediately opened it to read. He then discovered that although he recognized all the words, he didn't know the meaning of the words when they were put together.

He scratched his head and, shamelessly, asked.

Ji Yunshuang then explained the parts he didn't understand to him. After explaining, she asked, "Do you understand?"

Wan Shi Tong Dao: "I understand, but... I'm a little afraid I'll forget it later."

After thinking for a moment, Ji Yunshuang simply called the Ning family members together and let them listen.

That way, when she's not around, they can communicate and even discuss things they don't understand.

Originally a last resort, Ji Yunshuang unexpectedly discovered that Ning Shi and a maid named Bufeng both had excellent memories; they could quickly remember almost everything she said.

Moreover, before being sold to the Prince's mansion as a maid, Bu Feng was a peasant girl and had some experience in raising livestock.

After Ji Yunshuang tested her, she told Wan Shitong that she could keep her by her side more often in the future.

After hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, Bufeng's eyes lit up.

She thought her life was over, but she never expected to have such an opportunity. She quickly knelt down to thank Ji Yunshuang and promised that she would live up to her expectations and make a name for herself.

Ji Yunshuang helped her up, offered a few words of encouragement, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard today. You should get something to eat first, and we can talk about other things after you've eaten."

This estate had been vacant for a long time. The rooms where Ning and the others lived were furnished by Ji Yunshuang with furniture that she temporarily moved out of her spatial dimension.

However, places like the rooftop kitchen require major renovations, so Ji Yunshuang naturally didn't have time to oversee the renovations of the villa.

After handing the matter over to Wan Shitong and the others, she left the villa.

After May, the weather gradually got warmer. Ji Yunshuang took out an ice cream from her space and ate it while driving the carriage, looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Sunlight shines on the emerald green leaves, the grass ripples in the wind, and butterflies flutter among the flowers...

Everything was so beautiful.

But the soldiers in Jingzhou didn't think so.

They never expected the Qi army to take a detour to attack them, and were caught off guard, quickly losing a city.

King Xuan soon received an urgent report from the soldiers at the front.

When the urgent report was received, King Xuan and his queen were enjoying tea and admiring the flowers in the garden.

"Your Highness, this is bad! The Qi army has reached Jingzhou. Zheng City has already been captured. If we don't send reinforcements to its aid immediately, the five adjacent cities may also fall."

Upon hearing the soldier's urgent report, King Xuan was so shocked that he nearly dropped his teacup and stood up abruptly. "What's going on? How did the Qi army manage to reach Jingzhou? Weren't they attacking Jiangzhou all along?"

Princess Xuan's legs went weak and she almost fainted.

She asked anxiously, "Didn't Your Highness say that with Prince Rui leading the charge, we don't need to worry? What's going on? Could it be that Prince Rui has really colluded with the Qi army?"

“They must have colluded with the Qi army.” King Xuan slammed his fist on the table and roared, “Damn you, second brother! If I had known this would happen, I should have been even more ruthless.”

He had previously heard rumors that the reason the Qi army had been unable to capture Jiangzhou for so long was because Prince Rui was colluding with the Qi army and deliberately putting on an act.

Therefore, he controlled the grain merchants in various places, preventing them from transporting grain to Jiangzhou, which caused Prince Rui's troops to run out of food, forcing the relationship between the two sides to break down.

This would allow Prince Rui to fight the Qi army with all his might.

Little did he expect that the final outcome wouldn't be King Rui's all-out battle against the Qi army, resulting in mutual destruction and allowing him to reap the benefits. Instead, the Qi army would detour and attack him.

Princess Xuan said angrily, "That traitorous scoundrel, Your Highness, you must write a memorial to the Emperor and impeach him."

Thinking of the Crown Prince on the throne, Prince Xuan's face instantly darkened. When his father chose the Crown Prince, who had no achievements to succeed him, did he consider his sons?

He would definitely inform the Crown Prince about this and have him deal with it. However, for now, the most important thing was to recapture the city.

King Xuan didn't have time to say much to his queen and immediately summoned his advisors to discuss strategies for dealing with the enemy.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chu said, "Your Highness, we should send someone to contact Prince Rui now. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, we can join forces with Prince Rui and launch a pincer attack to annihilate the Qi army in one fell swoop."

After listening to Lin Chu's words, the remaining strategists also expressed their agreement. They even listed a series of benefits for King Xuan in cooperating with King Rui and launching a pincer attack on the Qi army.

King Xuan also felt that if he joined forces with King Rui to attack the Qi army, they could not only achieve a great victory over the Qi army, but also preserve their strength to the greatest extent.

On one hand, he dispatched troops to support the five cities and fight against the Qi army. On the other hand, he wrote a letter and sent it to Prince Rui, persuading him to join forces with him to deal with the Qi army.

After reading King Xuan's letter, King Rui almost laughed in anger.

He casually tossed the letter onto the low table, his face full of sarcasm, and said, "Does this third brother really think everyone else is a fool and that he's the only smart one?"

Liang Sheng picked up the letter on the table, read it, and said, "I guess King Xuan still thinks that you haven't discovered what he's been doing behind the scenes."

If he knew you had already discovered what he was doing in secret, he probably wouldn't have been so brazen in sending the letter.

Prince Rui sneered, "With his thick skin, even if he knew I had discovered the despicable things he had done behind my back, he would still shamelessly come begging to me to protect himself."

Liang Sheng asked, "So, what does Your Highness intend to do?"

Prince Rui said, "I will not grant their wish to cooperate with them to deal with the Qi army."

He knew perfectly well what King Xuan was up to. He just wanted to use him to preserve his own power.

If he considers the bigger picture and joins him in defeating the Qi army, then he will turn around and deal with them.
