Chapter 840 There will always be happiness in the world
Five days later.
Dahui, by the Chihe River.
In the blink of an eye, it had been five days since Wei Changtian left Yongding City and led 200,000 troops to march westward for 1,500 miles.
After crossing this large river with red water, continue westward for about three days and you will reach the border of Daqian.
And this also means that there are still three days before Wei Changtian launches his plan to "destroy Daqian".
Looking back now, not much happened in the past five days.
Or maybe there was nothing unusual about what happened.
Gongsun Yan completed his somewhat hasty and crude enthronement ceremony and officially changed the country's name to "Chu".
Since then, there has been no great restoration in the world, only the Great Chu Dynasty.
In order to help him stabilize his regime, Xinfeng's remaining 100,000 surrendered troops were finally able to return to their homeland. It is estimated that they will reach Yongding in another seven or eight days.
In exchange, Dachu will give Xinfeng, Daning, and Dashu war compensation of 20 million, 30 million, and 50 million respectively, totaling tens of millions of taels of silver.
Such a huge compensation will undoubtedly make the people of Dahui, no, Dachu live a miserable life for a long time.
But the good thing is that they finally no longer have to suffer the disasters of war.
As long as there is no war, the "productivity" of the cultivation world is still enough to support the people to at least "survive" under any circumstances.
As for whether they live a happy life based on this...that has nothing to do with Wei Changtian.
This is basically the situation over there in Dahui.
There is no news from Chu Xianping.
Therefore, Wei Changtian can now devote all his energy to overthrowing the Daqian regime.
Of course, after the Great Hui destroyed the country, Emperor Jing Guoqing of Daqian had actually expected that he would become Wei Changtian's next target.
In order to prevent himself from making the same mistake as Yan Huanwen, he had already begun preparations.
In the past two days, he sent three secret letters to Wei Changtian one after another, each one more "pleasant" than the last, and it could not be clearer that "anything can be discussed" attitude.
However, Wei Changtian turned a deaf ear to this and has not given Jing Guoqing any reply so far.
There is no doubt that Wei Changtian will definitely not make peace with Jing Guoqing.
After all, since he had promised to destroy Qian Hui and the Second Kingdom within a year, he had promised to do it.
Only the situation in Daqian is much more difficult than in Dahui.
The country was originally weak, and Lu Hongji died in the Battle of Xinfeng. Therefore, Wei Changtian only needed to add a little firepower to achieve his goal easily.
But it is not so easy to destroy Daqian.
Although 500,000 people were killed in Xinfeng, the foundation of Daqian still existed, and such losses did not damage its foundation.
What's more important is that Jing Guoqing is still alive and well.
To destroy such a country will undoubtedly require a more complex plan, stronger forces, and a longer period of time.
In short, it is very difficult.
However, Wei Changtian didn't seem to be worried about this. He told Yang Liushi and Li Zimu the story of "Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony" in the car all day long.
Five days passed, and he had already talked about the story of Qin General Wang Ben flooding the beams of Wei State and Qin destroying Wei.
The story was quite exciting, and Yang Liushi and Li Zimu were also fascinated by it.
But his "carefree and contented" appearance made Duan Fangping and the others feel a little restless...
"Young Master! It's been half a month since I took refuge with you! But I still haven't had the chance to show off my skills!"
At noon, while the army was resting, Duan Fangping, as a "representative", found Wei Changtian who was eating and said sincerely:
"We are willing to rush to the capital of Daqian first to find out some information about the city for you! I hope you will agree!"
"oh?"
With a hint of approval on his face, Wei Changtian did not refuse Duan Fangping this time, but simply agreed to the latter's request.
"Okay! Now it's time to thank the four seniors!"
"But in addition to gathering information, you can also do a few other things like this..."
He stood up and pulled Duan Fangping to the distance.
The two talked for a while, and then Wei Changtian came back soon to continue eating.
"Ms. sir."
Yang Liushi on the side glanced at Duan Fangping who was leaving in a hurry. She didn't ask what Wei Changtian said to the former, but just smiled and said:
"Just now Zimu said that the food in the army is not very delicious. Next time she will come to cook for us."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, turned to look at Li Zimu, and asked doubtfully: "When did you know how to cook?"
"I......"
Li Zimu blushed, as if he was a little embarrassed by Wei Changtian's question.
When Yang Liushi saw this, she quickly answered for her:
"Oh, sir, have you forgotten? Didn't Zimu learn cooking skills from Miss Qin for a few days before?"
"Oh yes, Qin He's craftsmanship is indeed pretty good."
Wei Changtian nodded and said to Li Zimu, "Then you can try it tonight."
"yes......"
Li Zimu responded softly, and then added a little uneasily: "Sir, I have only studied for a few days. I think I can't compare to Miss Qin."
"It's okay. Anyway, you can always be better than the cooks in the army."
Wei Changtian said casually, then picked up the bowl and continued eating.
Perhaps because everyone happened to mention Qin He, Yang Liushi muttered to herself with some emotion.
"I don't know how Miss Qin and Mr. Chu are doing now..."
"They should be married already..."
...
Dahui, Guyang County, Pingyun County.
"Gululu..."
While Wei Changtian and others were eating by the Red River, a carriage also stopped in front of a small courtyard gate.
"Ms. sir! Don't forget the boxes in the car!"
Qin He, dressed in a long blue dress, jumped out of the carriage and opened the courtyard door with a happy face, his eyes full of curiosity and joy.
Chu An also had a smile on his face and unhurriedly moved the luggage in the car into the yard one by one.
That's right, after Wei Changtian left, they decided to sell Zhuwu, leave Yongding City, and start a new life in a small place where no one knew them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This small courtyard in Pingyun County will be their future home.
As for why you should give up everything and "start over", the reasons may be complicated.
But judging from the expressions of the two of them now, this is undoubtedly the right choice...
"Ah, sir, I haven't gone to worship Buddha today yet!"
Suddenly, Qin He, who was walking around in the courtyard, seemed to remember something. He picked up a few pieces of silver and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.
"I'm going first! You put things away and put them away! If you don't know where to put them, just wait until I come back!"
"Oh, I don't know if there is a larger temple in Pingyun County. I need to find someone to ask..."
"..."
After shouting at Chu An, Qin He quickly left muttering.
And Chu An didn't stop her, he just smiled and shook his head and continued to carry his luggage into the house.
The two of them didn't have much luggage, and most of it belonged to Qin He.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Chu An to put away the large and small parcel boxes.
He dusted himself off, pushed open the door and walked to the front yard, sat on the stone steps in a daze for a while, and then took out a piece of rice paper from his arms.
This was left in the front hall of Zhuwu after Wei Changtian left.
A banknote worth one thousand taels, and a letter that was so short that it could hardly be called a "letter" and was written in vernacular.
【This is the money to buy Zhulong.】
【Ling, I wish you two a happy marriage for a hundred years.】
"..."
After reading these two lines of fine print again, Chu An folded the rice paper carefully and put it back to his chest with a smile.
At the same time, Qin He on the other side finally found the only small temple in Pingyun County.
"Ding dong~"
She threw a few coins into the merit box, then gathered her skirt and knelt on the futon, and kowtowed three times seriously to the Buddha statue in front of her.
Compared with the solemn Hong'an Temple in Yongding City, the incense in this small temple is obviously not as prosperous. Not only is the temple a bit crude, but even the Buddha statues are several sizes smaller.
However, Qin He was still extremely pious and asked for the same things from the past.
"Please Buddha bless Chu An, oh no, bless my husband a safe life..."
"May the Buddha bless Mr. Wei for a safe life..."
"Buddha bless..."
"..."
The sound of wooden fish clearing the rock is endless, and the Buddha statue is golden, as if the light of Buddha falls on Qin He.
However, if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to tell that this is not a Buddhist vision, but in fact it is just the most ordinary, golden sunshine.
