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

However, seeing the pigeon perched in Ji Yunshuang's palm, everyone temporarily shifted their attention to the pigeon.

Ji Yunshuang took out the letter tube tied to the pigeon's leg and unfolded it to read the letter inside.

Lu Yinheng wrote it with the technical pen she gave him, and the paper was modern. A small sheet of paper could hold a lot of content, and Lu Yinheng wrote in a relatively detailed manner.

Besides the fact that Canglan Kingdom tried to take advantage of the chaos in Qi Kingdom to seize Beiguan, he led his men to repel Canglan Kingdom. He also wrote down the current situation of Beiguan and the more than 10,000 soldiers he had recruited along the way.

The war initiated by the State of Qi had a huge impact not only on the economy and agriculture of the State of Zhou.

In fact, it also had a huge impact on the State of Qi.

Half of the territory of the State of Qi was inhabited by nomadic peoples. Coupled with poor harvests in the past two years, the people's crops had drastically decreased…

In order to raise enough military provisions for the war effort, King Jing of Qi continuously increased taxes. The people suffered greatly, and in some areas, they simply abandoned their land and fled, becoming refugees.

King Jing of Qi was facing a food shortage, so he delayed sending rations to the troops in various regions as much as possible, trying to send as little as possible.

The military rations at Beiguan were also limited.

The original 50,000 troops at Beiguan could sustain themselves for some time if they were frugal. But now, with an additional 10,000 troops at Beiguan, their military rations are being consumed even faster.

After reading the letter, Ji Yunshuang's mind was already racing.

The court officials watched Ji Yunshuang nervously, wondering what message the pigeon had brought. However, no one dared to ask.

After a brief moment of thought, Ji Yunshuang decided to make a trip to Beiguan. However, before going, she needed to arrange things in Qiongdu and other places.

Currently, besides King Qi Jing still trying to reclaim Qiongdu and making constant moves, the multi-headed monsters created by the witch have not yet been completely eliminated. In addition, there is the reconstruction of Qiongdu, the new project on Yumu Mountain, and the implementation of new policies.

With many things to do and time to spare, she glanced at the officials who had accompanied her on this trip and briefly recounted the contents of the letter.

Hearing that Canglan had taken the opportunity to attack Beiguan, everyone was on tenterhooks.

Upon learning that it was Lu Yinheng who led the attack, injuring Canglan's ruler and general, and ultimately forcing Canglan to retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and remarked how fortunate they were to have His Majesty the Divine Lord.

If she hadn't sent the prince to the northern pass, they might have just survived the plague monster disaster and were about to face an attack from the Canglan Kingdom. It's unimaginable how devastated their land would have become, and how many more refugees would have been born.

No, without His Majesty the Divine Lord, King Qi Jing would have no way to protect this land.

When that time comes, they will become prisoners of the Canglan Kingdom, which will not treat them as human beings.

The more they thought about it, the more fortunate they felt.

Thank goodness, thank goodness they met His Majesty the Divine Lord! Thank goodness they had His Majesty the Divine Lord.

After a brief moment of thought, Ji Yunshuang looked at everyone and said, "I will be going to Beiguan in a few days. During my absence from Qiongdu, I will have to trouble you all to take care of the city's affairs."

The officials immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. This is what we should do."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if you are not in Qiongdu, we will still fulfill our duties and do our job well."

……

The workers present all repeatedly assured him that they would work hard. Some even said that if King Jing of Qi brought his troops, they would take their tools and fight him to the death.

Ji Yunshuang certainly didn't expect these ordinary people to defend the capital. She had already made arrangements for the defense of the capital and wasn't worried about Qi Jingwang's attack.

However, hearing their firm support for her made her feel even brighter.

She smiled and then proceeded to arrange the next steps.

The reason she put so much effort into this house is that she hopes to build it first and use it as a model for demonstration.

On the one hand, it allows craftsmen to see the actual objects and have a more intuitive understanding of this new style of housing.

On the other hand, once the house is built, it can be visited by people, allowing them to see the house and be more motivated to work hard, and thus more supportive of her as the ruler...

Judging from the performance of everyone present, she has achieved the effect she wanted.

However, since this house is intended for public viewing, it would be best to decorate the interior as well; that would enhance the overall effect.

She designed the interior decoration of the house when it was first built. Carpenters were already making the furniture according to the blueprints.

All you have to do is wait for the furniture to be made before you can put it into the house.

Ji Yunshuang hoped that the carpenter could hurry up and finish the work so that the furniture could be completed and installed before she left Qiongdu.

She personally went to check on the progress of the carpentry work.

Because she had planned to build the house as a model as soon as possible when she was designing it, she took into account the long construction period of the carved furniture.

Therefore, she chose a modern style for the furniture in this house.

The carpenters were initially unfamiliar with the furniture-making techniques Ji Yunshuang had provided, so their work was somewhat slow.

But once you get used to it, the speed increases.

Nowadays, almost all the furniture has been made.

After personally inspecting the house and giving a few more instructions, Ji Yunshuang returned to the palace with her entourage, intending to personally inspect the house one last time before leaving.

Beijing.

Thanks to the efforts of King Qi Jing, news of Ji Yunshuang's ascension to the throne in Qiongdu quickly reached the ears of Emperor Gong of Zhou.

Along with the news of Ji Yunshuang's ascension to the throne in Qiongdu, Emperor Gong of Zhou also heard about the conspiracies Ji Yunshuang had orchestrated against the State of Qi.

Besides raising many monsters, which she used to hunt down Qi soldiers, Ji Yunshuang would then appear to save the people after the Qi soldiers were almost wiped out, thus creating a divine image for herself, winning the hearts of the people, and successfully becoming emperor.

King Qi Jing also sent someone to advise Emperor Gong of Zhou that this was only the first step for Ji Yunshuang, and that her next target was the Zhou Kingdom.

Once she consolidates the military power of Qi, conquering Zhou will be a piece of cake. Moreover, she commands monsters capable of taking on a hundred enemies single-handedly; who could possibly be a match for them?

Emperor Gong of Zhou had always been suspicious of the plague, believing it to be a conspiracy by Ji Yunshuang. Now, after hearing about what happened in Qi, he was even more convinced of it.

He looked at the officials below with a gloomy expression and said, "What do you all think we should do now?"

Minister Yan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe we cannot wait any longer. We should strike immediately, by any means necessary, to kill that vixen Ji Yunshuang. Otherwise, once she has complete control of Qi's military forces, she will be even more difficult to deal with."
