After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister Chapter 168

    Overnight, the Xiwu military camp suffered countless casualties and collapsed. It became the most terrifying night in the history of Xiwu.

    Since then, Xiwu's military strength has been greatly damaged, and the military rations cannot keep up, so they can only withdraw.

    This is the ending that Xiwu people are extremely unwilling to see, but there is really no way.

    Du Shaoxuan stood at the top of the wall and watched the enemy pull out and retreat, with a far-reaching vision.

    The lieutenant beside him asked softly, "Young Commander, do you want to take someone out of the city to hunt him down?"

    Du Shaoxuan shook his head slightly, "The lineup of their retreating troops was not disorderly, the heads and tails were exchanged, and they retreated in an orderly manner. The charge battalion escorted the troops to leave, and we won't take any advantage of going out."

    There is some regret in his eyes, it is impossible to find the leak.

    The lieutenant also looked regretful.

    However, the other soldiers cheered loudly as they watched the enemy retreat, their joy beyond words.

    They achieved a stage victory!

    The war is raging outside, the people of Liangcheng are safe, but they are all nervous.

    The atmosphere in the city was extremely depressing.

    This wave of shocks made everyone shudder, dare not ask, dare not ask.

    What scares them even more is that Du Shuai was seriously injured and was sent back in a coma!

    Du Shuai is the hero in their hearts, and the backer of the people of Xiliang, but he also fell...

    The people were extremely frightened, and some wealthy businessmen began to sneak away with their families, fleeing from Liangcheng and Xiliang.

    And the Mu clan couldn't sit still, and they all came to Mu Wanqing, "Patriarch, shouldn't we also leave?"

    "Yes, patriarch, this is not our hometown, why don't you go back to the capital."

    "The border is not peaceful, and I worry about it every day. I really can't stand it. No matter how much money I make, it's useless if I die."

    Fear was written on everyone's face, the fear of war.

    Mu Wanqing played with the teacup with a leisurely expression, "Does everyone want to go back to the capital?"

    Seeing her so calm, the clan couldn't help but ask, "What do you think?"

    Mu Wanqing has been sitting on the farm, and she has arranged all the military rations delivery. Jiang Tongzhi and his wife and Miss Du Er are all helping.

    Before, when I learned that the court's food and grass were burned, the entire Dusifu was desperate.

    They tried their best to prepare food and grass, but it was a drop in the bucket.

    Until Mu Wanqing appeared, willing to lend them the reserves, everyone was so grateful to her that they wanted to kneel down for her.

    As a result, Mu Wanqing's reputation reached its peak.

    She looked around the clansmen and said lightly, "The capital will be in chaos."

    This is a positive tone.

    Everyone's face changed, "What? How is this possible?"

    Mu Wanqing made a judgment based on her own analysis, "This time the three countries joined forces to annex Daqi was planned, and the result of cooperation between the inside and the outside, the border was unstable, the inside and outside were troubled, and the court was exhausted. This time is the time to fish in troubled waters, what would you do if you were that Li Ying?"

    The current emperor is in a mess full of holes. Even if he tries his best to repair it, the bottom is too bad, and the fortune is not good. Various natural and man-made disasters often occur, causing the treasury to be empty.

    In this case, they were attacked by the Three Kingdoms again, the court was naturally turbulent, and some people's ambitions could not be controlled.

    Sometimes, even if you have the will to turn the tide, even if you have all kinds of means and all kinds of ambitions, your personal strength cannot resist the torrent of the big era.

    The clan who was staring at her subconsciously said, "Rebel?"

    As soon as the words came out, his face suddenly changed, and he was terrified.

    "Yes, rebel, just wait, the situation will become more and more chaotic, this road will not be peaceful." It is too dangerous to travel at this time, Mu Wanqing would not do this Choose, "Speaking of which, Mu Jinyao hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know what happened on the way."

    Mu Zi raised her brows and frowned, "she won't be kidnapped, will she?"

    Although he doesn't like people in big houses, he doesn't want Mu Jinyao to suffer misfortune.

    A clan has a different opinion, "Probably not, the court sent soldiers to escort."

     "Patriarch, I don't think it's that serious. No matter what, the capital is the safest place."

    "Xiliang will be breached at any time, it is better to return to the capital temporarily to avoid the limelight and wait for the situation to stabilize."

    To them, the city of Liang is like a powder keg, ready to explode at any time.

    Mu Wanqing shook her head and refused, "I won't leave, and I won't stop anyone who wants to go back to the capital."

    She has brought the Mu family to Liangcheng safely, and gave them the skills to settle down, that's enough.

    She can't protect them all her life and be responsible for their lives.

    "However, those who want to go back should be well prepared and hire more bodyguards."

    Her foundation is here, she bet most of her net worth in Xiliang, why run?

    If the situation deteriorates to a certain extent and no one can restore it, when necessary, she will control Liangcheng without hesitation and choose to be independent.

    Liangcheng is located in the core area of ​​the border and has a certain buffering effect, and its geographical location is quite advantageous.

    The most dangerous place in the eyes of others, in her view, is a crisis, but also a turning point.

    It is feasible to create a three-for-one zone.

    In the final analysis, the war between countries is a competition for interests.

    She has an armed force, supplies, strong financial support, and gunpowder in her hand...

    This is a back-up way she considers, and she will never use it as a last resort.

    Mainly, it's too troublesome, too mind-boggling.

    Only she knows these thoughts, not even her parents and brothers.

    Everyone looked at each other, at a loss, and without Mu Wanqing, how dare they go all the way back?

    But, do you really want to stay and resign?

    This is a dilemma.

    Mu Wanqing doesn't care what they think, she can leave if she wants to, or stay if she wants to. This is her attitude.

    The Mu family naturally chose to join Mu Wanqing without hesitation. Wherever she is, they will be there.

    As for the Mu clan, after some discussion, more than a dozen families wanted to go back to the capital and sell the store.

    Before leaving, the opinions of these dozen families were not unified. The young people did not want to leave, and the older ones wanted to leave.

     After several days of pulling and pulling, in the end, some families went together, some were more conservative, leaving the young people behind and returning to the capital by themselves, as a way to explore.

    Everyone silently sent away these clansmen and wished them a safe journey.

    Second Master Mu looked at their distant figures with a very complicated mood, "Qing'er, Uncle Nineteen, will they return to the capital safely?"

    "It should be." Mu Wanqing said everything she should have said. If people don't listen, they can only respect.

    Second Master Mu sighed silently, "The war won't burn down Liangcheng, will it?"

    He also panicked and couldn't sleep at night.

    Seeing that he was upset, Mu Wanqing took him by the arm, took him to a remote place where no one was there, and said with a smile, "Father, let me tell you a secret."

    "What?"

    Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "I have stockpiled a lot of nitrate and sulphur. If someone wants to break into the farm, they will be kept from going back and forth. The cement wall is very strong. We have gathered a group of people to hide in the safest place, and we still have a Women's Army."

    In addition, there are villagers and workers in the workshop. These are all reserve forces. With a little integration, you can form an army.

    These are more like militias, people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime.

    There are thousands of people in this group. When she usually gives them literacy classes, she brainwashes them intentionally or unintentionally, and cultivates their own personal worship.

    These are not mentioned, but they are enough to make Second Master Mu calm.

    "You mean our farm is absolutely safe?"

    Mu Wanqing never put her destiny in the hands of others. When she found that the situation was not good, she calmly began to arrange it, even the people around her didn't check it. feel it.

    "Yes, it is impregnable. It can be said that our Shuimu Villa is the safest."

    In wartime, it is a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

    Second Master Mu looked at his calm daughter, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is it hidden? Why don't I know?"

    He doesn't stay in Zhuangzi every day, but sometimes returns to the city.

    Besides, the farm's affairs are divided into several parts, and he is only responsible for the farming.

    "In the cave." Mu Wanqing assigned this matter to mu Ziang, who was tight enough that even his parents didn't reveal the slightest rumor.

    Second Master Mu then remembered that there were two barren mountains in Shuimu Villa, and Mu Wanqing dug two caves in them, saying they were hoarding food.

    The three caves of the cunning rabbit.

    "You expected this day?"

    Mu Wanqing closed her eyes and said nonsense, "I don't know, but I habitually prepare a few more back ways, this is just one of them."

    "You did the right thing." Second Master Mu believed everything, as long as his daughter said it, he believed it. "How about closing the shops and hiding in the farm temporarily?"

    The business in the store is much worse, and the turnover is not half of what it used to be.

    Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "Don't worry, I have already sent people to inquire about the news. When the day comes when the situation deteriorates, I will be the first to know, and it will be too late to gather up."

    Close the snack street now, the goal is too big.

    Alright, with such a smart daughter, Second Master Mu will not worry about it.

    A few days later, Mu Wanqing heard the news of Xiwu's retreat, and let out a long sigh.

    Yes, Du Shaoxuan is still very good at fighting and did not disappoint her.

    If possible, she doesn't want to stand in the front, and she doesn't like it.

    Du House, Miss Du let out a sigh of relief and ran to the main room immediately.

    Miss Du walked in quickly, looked at her father on the bed first, and sighed in disappointment.

    She looked at her haggard mother again, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

    Since my father was sent back like this, my mother has been… a little crazy. Every day, he stayed by the bedside, never leaving his body for a moment, and refused to leave for half a step day and night.

    There is only the injured Du Shuai in his eyes, and everything else does not exist.

    She grows old quickly, like a flower that has lost its moisture, withering.

    Miss Du's heart flashed a hint of worry, if her father has three strengths and two weaknesses, my mother will probably follow.

     "Father, I have good news for you, my brother beat the Xiwu people away."

    I don't know how many times I called, and Mrs. Du suddenly noticed that Du Shuai's eyelids moved slightly, and she suddenly became excited, "Husband, husband."
