My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

This question stumped all the ministers.

They haven't found a way to deal with those monsters yet. Ji Yunshuang uses those monsters against them, but they have no power to resist.

Even without the monsters, given their current situation, they have no chance of winning against Ji Yunshuang.

They fled from Qiongdu in such a hurry that they didn't have many soldiers to begin with, and then so many of them died while fighting the monsters.

They now have only 2 troops.

As for Ji Yunshuang, putting aside her military strength in Zhou, the fact that she detained so many of Qi's troops under the pretext of the plague is something they couldn't handle.

Those soldiers, unaware of Ji Yunshuang's true nature, were undoubtedly deceived by her lies and believed her words...

The ministers told King Jing of Qi about these problems, and King Jing was so angry that he almost burst into flames again.

He angrily retorted, "I asked you to come up with a solution, not to shirk responsibility. Don't you have any ideas at all?"

The ministers were scolded like quails, bowing their heads and remaining silent.

Actually, they weren't entirely without ideas, but some of them were just too afraid to speak them out.

In the end, Grand Tutor Li was the one who went all out and stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, this old minister does have a solution."

King Jing of Qi gestured for him to speak.

Grand Tutor Li said, "That vixen is ambitious and definitely has her sights set on more than just Qi. She will surely use similar methods against the surrounding countries as well. We should contact the rulers of our neighboring countries and ask them to lend us troops."

However, doing so carries significant risks.

In the past, the State of Qi relied on its strength to frequently bully its neighboring states.

His neighboring countries have long been dissatisfied with him.

At this point, the fear is that instead of helping, they might take the opportunity to retaliate.

King Jing of Qi also thought of this.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Besides this, is there any other way?"

Grand Tutor Li said, "There are 30,000 troops stationed at Zhenxi Pass. Let's first transfer these 30,000 troops here and combine them with our soldiers, which will give us 50,000 troops. Then we'll figure out a way to transfer the troops from Beiguan Pass."

If the soldiers from Beiguan can also be successfully deployed, then we can barely muster an army of 100,000.

However, this is all under ideal circumstances.

If something goes wrong along the way, then it won't work.

Especially since the soldiers at Beiguan are far from where they are now, and there are those formidable monsters everywhere outside, it won't be easy for them to get to Beiguan smoothly.

Moreover, since Ji Yunshuang had already planned to bring the Qi Kingdom under her control, it was impossible for her not to make arrangements at the North Pass.

Perhaps Ji Yunshuang of Zhenxiguan had already secretly sent people to turn them against their cause.

If Grand Tutor Li could think of these things, King Jing of Qi could certainly think of them as well.

His face grew increasingly cold. "First, mobilize the troops from Zhenxiguan. I will go personally."

As he spoke, he sent someone with the imperial edict to Beiguan to mobilize troops.

Inside the space, Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng sat together on the grass, their eyes fixed on the two children.

At this moment, the brother and sister are picking fruit in the field like little bees.

Ji Yunshuang has already explained this place to them.

She didn't say this was the space that accompanied her through the journey, but instead followed Lu Yinheng's line of thought and explained it as a divine realm. However, this area belonged to her, and they could come here.

Lu Yanqi had already suspected this, so he wasn't surprised to hear Ji Yunshuang's words. On the contrary, he felt as if he had known it all along.

Lu Yuzhu, on the other hand, was extremely surprised, her round eyes wide open. But children are playful, and after a moment of surprise, she put the matter aside and happily went off to play.

She couldn't actually eat much fruit, but picking fruit made her especially happy.

Therefore, the brother and sister had a great time playing together.

Ji Yunshuang watched the two of them having fun, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. Lu Yinheng also felt a rare sense of ease.

Such a pleasant, carefree life, like that of an immortal, gave her the illusion that all the monsters she had seen and all her experiences were just an absurd dream.

But he knew that was the world he lived in.

His gaze unconsciously shifted from the two children to Ji Yunshuang's face.

She could have stayed here and lived a comfortable life, so why did she go to that world? Is it really as the people say, that she came down specifically to save everyone?

Once everyone is rescued, will she return to her own world?

Ji Yunshuang noticed that Lu Yinheng was looking at her, so she turned to look at him as well. "What do you want to say?"

Lu Yinheng said, "The news from Qiongdu has likely already reached the ears of King Qi Jing. Once King Qi Jing finds out, he will probably see everything as a conspiracy by us. At that time, he might launch a fierce counterattack."

In his previous life, he fought against the State of Qi several times. He had done extensive research on Qi's military deployment and even the personality of King Jing of Qi.

He guessed that Ji Yunshuang's mission in descending to the mortal realm was to save the people living in dire straits, so he wanted to help her as much as possible.

Ji Yunshuang said, "According to the information we've gathered, King Qi Jing has fled west with his men. What do you think his next move should be?"

Lu Yinheng thought for a moment and said, "He should join forces with the soldiers of Zhenxiguan as soon as possible, organize more troops, and then take back Qiongdu. He should also spread rumors, claiming that those monsters are part of your conspiracy, to incite the people to rebel against you."

With a thought, Ji Yunshuang moved the map in the hall into her spatial dimension. Looking at the location of Zhenxi Pass on the map, she asked, "In your estimation, how many troops are stationed at Zhenxi Pass?"

Lu Yinheng said, "As far as I know, there aren't many soldiers at Zhenxiguan. Besides Zhenxiguan, he will definitely try to transfer troops from other places."

He looked at the map and frowned slightly. "Currently, besides Zhenxi Pass, the most likely option is to transfer troops from Beiguan Pass."

Ji Yunshuang said, "I will immediately send General Yao with men to Beiguan to seize military power there."

Lu Yinheng quickly said, "I'll go too."

Ji Yunshuang hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately.

She sent General Yao with soldiers to Beiguan to seize military power there, a very dangerous and arduous task.

Most of their soldiers have been sent out to hunt monsters, while the Zhou soldiers... She sent Tianrui back to Xie Liang with her personal letter.

But it would take Xie Liang at least ten days to half a month to bring his troops from Zhengcheng.

We can't rely on the soldiers from the Zhou Kingdom for the time being.

Therefore, General Yao could not bring many troops to Beiguan.

With only a small number of soldiers, attempting to complete such a daunting task meant risking death at any moment.

Lu Yinheng saw the reason for her hesitation, and his heart warmed, making his determination to go even stronger.

“If I go with General Yao and we cooperate, our chances of success will be much greater. As far as I know, the current commander of Beiguan is Su Zimu. I also fought against him in my previous life, so I may know his personality and weaknesses better than General Yao.”
