Chapter 1490: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (37)
Chapter 1493: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (Thirty-Seven)
As an outsider in the true sense, Wang Chen has no ties to his hometown in Qing'an County.
Even if he gets married and has children here.
Wang Chen has been paying close attention to the changes in the situation in Nanli Country in recent years.
He knew very well that as the catastrophe in the world of mountains and seas continued, this country was facing a major reshuffle.
The old forces decay and annihilate, and new forces rise to take their place. This dynasty change in the mortal world is itself a part of the way of heaven. It will never be heard from, and will only intensify with the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Qing'an County is located to the south of Changyi Prefecture, and Changyi Prefecture has become a place where pythons compete for deer. It is not impossible for Qing'an to survive alone, but the price will be very high.
Wang Chen came to the mortal world to refine his heart, not to participate in the dynastic struggle for hegemony.
So he was preparing a retreat from the beginning.
In Wang Chen's opinion, the best escape route for the hundreds of thousands of people in Qing'an is Yunze Mansion further south.
Yunze Prefecture has a large area and a lot of water, so it is almost unaffected by drought. In addition, the land is fertile and there are a lot of fish, so it has always been known as a land of plenty.
However, Yunze Prefecture is full of miasma, so there are only five counties and the population is not very large.
Qing'an County has been relocated entirely, and there is enough room for development!
Of course, not everyone is willing to leave their hometown and move to Yunze Mansion, but Wang Chen will definitely want to move his family south in the future.
He had not told his father-in-law about this plan before.
Now is the time.
After hearing Wang Chen's plan, Ye Xiangming felt extremely complicated.
On the one hand, he knew that Wang Chen was right. Against the background of dynasties changing and competing for power, Qing'an County, which had no geographical advantages, was destined to never become a true paradise.
It is extremely necessary to prepare your retreat early.
But on the other hand, Ye Xiangming is a native of Qing'an, and his ancestors have lived here for generations.
Tethered to our roots, it’s hard to leave our homeland!
In addition, most of the Ye family's wealth is concentrated in many acres and shops.
Once you leave, the wealth will be lost in the water!
The price is very high.
"Father-in-law, please think about it carefully."
Wang Chen said: "There is no rush now, we still have a lot of time to prepare."
If Ye Xiangming didn't want to leave, he wouldn't force it.
Everyone must be loyal to their own choices.
But Wang Chen believed that his father-in-law would make a wise choice.
At the end of the month, Ye Dai gave birth to a son for Wang Chen.
This time, Ye Xiangming named him: Wang Jingxing, which means "the high mountains stop, the scenery stops".
In order to celebrate the birth of a son by the county magistrate, Qing'an County celebrated for three days, and everyone was immersed in joy.
At the beginning of the next month, Wang Chen's concubine Ye Yu tested positive for pregnancy.
It can be said to be a double happiness!
However, during this month, the Pingtian Army captured all the county towns in Changyi Prefecture except Qing'an, and surrounded the prefecture in an siege posture.
The time soon came to the end of the month, and Wang Chen received an urgent report from the ranger scouts.
Li Zili personally led a large army southward, and the direction of the army was Qing'an County!
There is no doubt that King Pingtian will first remove the nail in Qing'an County before conquering the biggest bone in Fucheng.
At the same time, the shame of the defeat of Qing'an was washed away!
"finally come."
Ye Xiangming, who received the news at the same time, breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
This feeling is like being locked in a cell waiting for the verdict. Previously, I didn't know whether I would live or die, and my destiny was all controlled by others. As a county magistrate, Ye Xiangming was naturally anxious every day.
?????55.?????
Now that the dust has settled, my thoughts have become clearer.
He said to Wang Chen: "Xian son-in-law, the next step is up to you!"
This time Pingtian King Li Zili mobilized all his elite troops, and it was 100% unstoppable just relying on the strength of Qing'an County.
Even if the garrison doubled, there would be no chance of survival.
Because today's Pingtian Army has gained a great reputation and has become one of the most powerful among the Seventeenth Route Rebels.
Once the entire territory of Changyi Prefecture is swallowed up, the momentum will completely increase.
Wang Chen smiled: "Don't worry."
This time, he had no intention of fighting his opponent again under the city wall of Qing'an County!
Ye Xiangming added: "Xian son-in-law, I have already thought about it. I am willing to move my family to Yunze Mansion."
Wang Chen nodded: "Okay."
Totally expected.
At the same time, in Yongping County, an army with flags flying was moving south along the official road.
The "Pingtian" flag at the front whistled in the wind, which was particularly eye-catching.
After two days of trekking, the army camped beside a river.
"Commander!"
In the Chinese army's tent, a soldier reported to the general sitting on a large tiger-skin chair: "Four teams of rangers have entered Qing'an County, and no enemy scouts have been found so far."
This tall and burly military commander with a majestic face was none other than Pingtian King Li Zili.
He was born into a wealthy family in Santai County. He was quite talented in martial arts since he was a child. After he became an adult, he also traveled abroad, greatly improved his martial arts skills, and made many friends.
However, while Li Zili was wandering around, his family was framed and persecuted by the magistrate of Santai County at that time, resulting in the tragic loss of his family and his family.
It was only after Li Zili came back that he learned that such a big thing had happened to his family. It happened that the Han Ban was causing a severe drought in the world, so he brazenly raised his flag of rebellion and took tens of thousands of victims with him to seize the county seat.
Over the past few years, this king of Pingtian has had his ups and downs, but he has perfected his sword through hundreds of refinements, showing his ability to dominate the world!
"knew."
Li Zili waved his hand and said: "Send the order and the whole camp will be on alert tonight to guard against enemy sneak attacks."
A general sitting next to Li Zili was a little disapproving: "Commander, our army has 30,000 elite soldiers. We can't defeat a small Qing'an County easily. There is no need to do this..."
Under Li Zili's indifferent gaze, his voice became weaker and weaker, and he simply closed his mouth.
But still not convinced.
"You didn't participate in the battle in Qing'an County that year, so it's normal to not know the situation."
Li Zili sighed and said: "Although Qing'an County is not big, and the garrison number is only a thousand, but their commander, the county magistrate Wang Chen, is not an ordinary person."
"It is said that he has reached the realm of a great master!"
"impossible!"
The general couldn't help but argue: "There is no great master in Nanli Kingdom. This news must be spread by false rumors and cannot be believed at all. It is most likely blown by Qing'an County itself to scare everyone!"
"Besides, didn't you get the Immortal Talisman? Even if you are a great master, you are not afraid!"
Li Zili couldn't help but glare at the other party and said: "Do you know that you should be lenient if you anticipate the enemy? If this Wang Chen is really a great master, he can kill all 30,000 of our elite soldiers by himself!"
"What I'm worried about is that even if I use the immortal talisman, I won't be able to deal with him. Then I'll be in trouble."
As soon as Li Zili finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from inside the tent: "What magic talisman can you let me see?"
