After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

The big man was extremely embarrassed and explained, "If I had known it was you, my dear lady, I would never have captured you."

"Even without you, someone else would have taken on this mission to capture me!"

That's true. The big man, shocked by his underling's reaction, offered to take her back.

While the three were in the temple, the imperial court also received the news.

Qi Jingyue, Bai Zunyue, Xiao Yulan, and the others rushed towards the temple.

Ye Yuwu, however, was unaware of this at the moment.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, so she said to the big man, "Why don't you just keep me tied up?"

The big man and his henchman exclaimed in shock.

"Why, why?"

"Didn't you say you didn't know what the man in black looked like that night? Here's your chance." Ye Yuwu smiled slyly, already having made her plans.

Although the big man didn't know what she was going to do, he did as she asked, but he didn't dare to use too much force when he retied her.

The rope also has a slipknot.

Then they stuffed a strip of cloth into her mouth.

It was only then that Ye Yuwu realized that the reason they hadn't stuffed a cloth strip into her mouth when they kidnapped her wasn't because they weren't worried that she would scream when she woke up, but because they were inexperienced kidnappers and simply forgot to gag her.

Now, thanks to Ye Yuwu's reminder, they finally knew how to be good kidnappers.

However, she still found it a bit funny that a kidnapped victim was actually teaching two kidnappers how to be kidnappers.

After they retied Ye Yuwu, they were able to contact the man in black.

The method of contacting the men in black was surprisingly to release smoke.

Ye Yuwu calculated the time, and sure enough, there was a commotion outside the temple after a while. The big man always had a loud voice, and Ye Yuwu confirmed from his fawning voice that the person had arrived.

Hearing them about to come in, Ye Yuwu quickly closed her eyes.

A moment later, footsteps reached her ears.

"Please take a look," the burly man said.

Just as Ye Yuwu was about to open her eyes, a sound suddenly came from outside, which seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves.

The man in black had clearly heard the sound as well.

He seemed to have cursed, but he wasn't speaking in the Central Plains dialect, so Ye Yuwu didn't understand.

But she could sense that the person seemed to want to escape, so she immediately opened her eyes and spat out what was in her mouth.

The big man reacted quickly and grabbed the man.

However, this person was clearly from two different families, and although the big man was burly and strong, he was no match for him.

The big man and his henchmen used their rudimentary skills, but they actually managed to hold the man back.

When Qi Jingyue entered, he saw four people wrestling together. The group held the masked man in the middle tightly, making him unable to move, while Ye Yuwu was trying to remove his veil.

At that moment, Xiao Yulan arrived. He rushed into the temple and shouted, "Yuwu, I've come to save you!"

Unexpectedly, when he entered the house and saw this scene, they both froze on the spot.

The commotion caused by Qi Jingyue and his group entering also caught the attention of the people in the temple. They stopped what they were doing and looked towards the temple entrance.

For a moment, the scene froze.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Yuwu quickly tore off the veil of the man in black.

The man in black was taken away by Qi Jingyue's men. When Ye Yuwu saw that his men were about to take away the big man and his underlings, she quickly said, "Release them. They saved me."

Qi Jingyue gave his subordinates a wink, and they quickly released the two burly men.

The burly man kept expressing his gratitude, while the two men seemed to be frightened and could no longer speak fluently.

After all, they only just realized that Ye Yuwu held a very high official position, and that the people who came to rescue her this time were either marquises or crown princes.

How could they not be afraid? They were just ordinary people who, at most, liked to collect protection money, but they were also punished, thrown into jail, and beaten several times.

If they hadn't been so unskilled and short of money, they wouldn't have resorted to such despicable acts.

Ye Yuwu looked at the two people who were trembling with fear and sighed, "You said you have no skills and no land to work?"

They lowered their heads and nodded cautiously.

Ye Yuwu then said to them, "I have a teahouse that is short of staff. If you are not afraid of getting tired, you can come and work for me."

Upon hearing this, the burly man immediately looked up at her in disbelief, "Really?"

Ye Yuwu nodded.

The two immediately cheered and couldn't help but grasp her hand, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Lord Ye, we are of course willing."

Ye Yuwu smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, Xiao Yulan smiled and took the big man's hand away from Ye Yuwu's.

So the group left the temple together.

Not long after, it was discovered that the man in black was a spy sent by the Kingdom of Fulin.

Originally, when the man in black was captured by Qi Jingyue's men, he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but his subordinates discovered this and immediately stopped him.

Under severe torture, the man in black finally revealed the truth.

The emperor was furious when he heard about it.

It turns out that Fulin Kingdom obtained information from somewhere that the reason why Jin Kingdom's strength had increased so much was because of Ye Yuwu.

They sent a group of people to infiltrate the capital of Jin Kingdom, and soon found an opportunity to secretly transport Ye Yuwu to Fulin Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the truth still came out.

Now, it's not just Fulin Kingdom that's eyeing Ye Yuwu; other countries are also trying to contact her, all in an effort to persuade her to come to their country, with conditions set by Ye Yuwu herself.

The emperor was naturally angry; it was tantamount to openly poaching someone's man.

He could not tolerate it, so he insisted on going to war against Fulin Kingdom despite the advice of the court officials.

Ye Yuwu strongly suspected that the emperor himself wanted to start a war and expand his territory, and was just using her as a cover.

With the added advantage of these weapons, the Kingdom of Fulin naturally suffered repeated defeats and actually managed to conquer a considerable amount of land.

The surrounding small countries trembled in fear.

The Kingdom of Fulin was reduced to only its imperial city and some surrounding cities after being defeated.

But the people of Fulin Kingdom are not to be trifled with. Even without these firearms, they will fight to the death for the imperial city.

As expected, through sheer willpower, they successfully withstood the offensive of the Fulin Kingdom, exhausted their ammunition, launched a counterattack, and reclaimed some territory.

The Kingdom of Jin was also severely weakened, and its previously stable livelihood suffered some damage.

The emperor dared not continue the war. The people's livelihood had only just stabilized, and the national treasury was further depleted by the war.

The ministers advised him to rest and recuperate, and he no longer thought about expanding his territory.

In the same year, a plague suddenly broke out among the people.

The emperor was too preoccupied with his own problems to care for others.

This plague came extremely fiercely.

Many people experienced symptoms such as chills and high fever, and soon a large number of people died.

The cries of anguish from the people continued unabated.

The doctors were also helpless, and the people were filled with fear.
