After sleeping for three whole days, Yao Shu finally woke up two days before the Chinese New Year, which made everyone heave a deep sigh of relief.
"Yaoer" Mu Beirong rushed back like a gust of wind.
When he saw Yao Shu sitting against the head of the bed, his face lit up.
Yao Shu was pushed into his arms by Mu Beirong.
Of course, he was very careful not to touch her belly: "You scared me to death."
Yao Shu was in good spirits and patted Mu Beirong on the back: "I made you worry."
"It's good that you're fine."
Mu Beirong let go of her and looked at her carefully: "How are you feeling?"
"It's okay."
Yao Shu just felt that she had a deep sleep and didn't feel much discomfort.
"Is the child okay?"
Yao Shu still remembered having a stomachache before she fell into coma.
"It's okay."
Mu Beirong tied up her long hair for her: "It was Yuncheng who saved the child."
Yao Shu paused and said, "Really?"
Let's just talk about the matter.
He should be grateful to him for saving his child.
After this incident, Mu Beirong became more cautious towards Yao Shu.
He was wary of unfamiliar people, and the food had to be tasted by the maid before it could be served to Yao Shu.
Two days passed by in a flash, and Yao Shu ushered in her first New Year in this era.
The palace was decorated in a bustling manner, and the palace people were busy preparing things for the dinner.
Because it is the first New Year after the restoration of Tokugawa, the ministers will be invited to the palace to celebrate.
However, because Yao Shu's body had not fully recovered, Mu Beirong did not let her go to such a noisy place and asked Gu Nianmeng and Yun Chu to accompany her.
In the middle of the dinner, Mu Beirong left the party early and sat in front of the fire.
Mu Beirong hugged Yao Shu and wrapped her in a big bun.
As soon as he turned his head, he could see her beautiful and clean side face.
He didn't expect that he could still have such a peaceful time.
Two months ago, he was almost in despair.
Two months later, everything was reborn.
However, no one expected that on this festive day of the Chinese New Year, Dai Hu rushed into the palace and reported the latest news.
Today, Northern Xinjiang has raised 300,000 troops to attack the southern border fortress.
Mu Beirong went to the army overnight to discuss the next move, and Shou Sui went to Song Qing's palace to join her, and also called Gu Nianmeng and Yun Chu.
Song Qing turned over the simple playing cards she had made before, and Yao Shu knew how to do it herself, so she taught the two of them to play together and watch the New Year's Eve together.
Gu Nianmeng and Yun Chu were very curious about this thing.
Although they didn't quite understand it when they first started playing, they gradually got the hang of it and had a lot of fun playing it.
Something diverted her attention, so Yao Shu was not so uneasy.
In fact, she was a little worried.
Not to mention the New Year's war, she was curious as to why she didn't attack Mucheng first but went to the southern border first.
After all, Huangfu Ji knew that with Song Qing in the curtain city and that the northern part of the curtain had recaptured the curtain city, Song Qing would definitely be able to make explosives.
Although the curtain city was not as big as the southern border and had a large population, she believed that compared to the large number of people In the southern border, the explosives-laden Tokugawa should be a greater threat to him.
Obviously, Mu Beirong and Yao Shu thought together.
He quickly rushed to the stationed army with Dai Hu, and the high-ranking generals of the army had already been summoned.
Mu Beirong strode into the meeting hall and handed the snow-covered sword to his subordinates: "Everyone has heard that the Northern Territory is attacking the Southern Territory.
What do you think?"
A soldier stood up and said: "The general and his subordinates believe that we should wait and see what happens for the time being.

After they both lose, we will reap the benefits."
"No."
Another stood up: "General, as you said, Northern Xinjiang has terrible weapons like explosives, and Southern Xinjiang will definitely be unable to withstand it.
If Northern Xinjiang captures Southern Xinjiang, then Northern Xinjiang plus Southern Xinjiang will be a giant.
It will be even more disadvantageous for us.”
Mu Beirong nodded: "Do you have any other opinions?"
The views of both parties are reasonable.
At this moment, Mu Cheng is in a dilemma.
Mu Beirong is also thinking about Huangfuji's intentions.
If it were him, he would definitely bypass the southern border and attack Mu Cheng first.
"The general has an opinion," Dai Hu said in a rough voice.
"Say" Mu Beirong nodded.
The reason why he dared to hand over the entire team to Dai Hu for two years was not only because of his loyalty, but also because he was indeed a talent and had his own unique insights in fighting.
"The general believes that when the northern Xinjiang army is dispatched, it is a good time for our army to directly enter the border."
Mu Beirong nodded approvingly.
So far, only Dai Hu has the closest idea to him: "Yes, the 300,000 troops in northern Xinjiang are at the southern border fortress.
The remaining troops in the country will definitely be greatly reduced.
We cannot passively wait for him to come.
But it caught him off guard.”
The generals looked at each other and nodded.
It is true.
Rather than being passive, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to take the initiative.
Moreover, they also have explosives.
"Since everyone has no objections, tomorrow morning, Dai Hu will lead an army of 300,000 to the northern border and leave 300,000 in the city to meet emergencies."
"The last general takes orders" Dai Hu hugged his fists "Then Haodaihu can first bring a batch of prepared explosives to break through the northern Xinjiang city gate as quickly as possible.
Then the northern Xinjiang army will be attacked from both sides and will not be able to make any more waves."
Early the next morning, the entire army was ready.
Mu Beirong watched the army leave Mu City before returning to the palace.
Yao Shu had already woken up and saw Mu Beirong coming back to ask about the situation.
Mu Beirong told her the situation, and Yao Shu nodded: "This is indeed better than just sitting back and waiting for death.
It's just that Huangfu went to attack the southern territory without explosives first.
Isn't there something wrong?"
Mu Beirong nodded: "I also think, isn't he afraid that the longer time goes by, the more explosives we will make?"
"Huangfu Ji is a very clever man, and it will never be so simple."
Mu Beirong couldn't figure out his intention for a while, so he could only tell the spies in northern Xinjiang to get new information as soon as possible.
It's the New Year, but it is surrounded by a tense atmosphere.
Mu Beirong is even busier.
The more important thing is that Mu Xiao has been rescued.
With a piece of jade integrated, he can find the treasure left by the ancestors of the Mu family.
Now that the war is imminent, although Mucheng has always been rich, it has to bear the burden of 600,000 yuan.
Xiangfu is still struggling to support an army of 600,000 people, and it is imminent to find treasures to use as military pay.
"I don't know how many days it will take to go this time.
Just wait and I won't come into contact with any random people."
Makubei Rong said as if he was telling a child before leaving.
"Don't worry."

Yao Shu straightened his collar: "Be careful along the way."
After Mu Beirong led his people to set off, all matters concerning Mu City fell on Xiao Qingli's head.
Although Xiao Song and Xiao Qian were there to help him, he was still very busy.
Afraid that Yao Shu would be uneasy without the presence of Mu Beirong, Song Qing came to Yao Shu every day, sometimes to relax with her, and sometimes to play cards with her.
This mother-in-law did her best.
Half a month passed in such a flash, and Yao Shu couldn't sit still.
Fortunately, Mu Beirong would ask Xiao Xianrou to deliver a letter in a few days.
Knowing that he was safe, she could only wait patiently.
Just waiting like this, finally on the twentieth day, Xiao Qian came to her with surprise and reported: "A Shu Beirong is back."
"Really?"
Yao Shu stood up awkwardly: "Where are you?"
Xiao Qian quickly supported her: "Please wait a little longer.
We haven't arrived yet.
We have just arrived at the city gate."
Despite this, Yao Shu still wore thick cotton clothes and waited eagerly at the palace gate.
Finally, a quarter of an hour later, a white horse appeared in sight.
The handsome man who immediately galloped to hire him was none other than Mubei Rong.
"Beirong" Yao Shu waved, smiling like a child.
Before the horse stopped in the north of the curtain, he jumped down hastily.
Yao Shu walked a few steps quickly, opened her hands and threw herself into his arms.
Mu Beirong pushed her away in a hurry: "I'm cold."
"It doesn't matter, I'm cold too."
Yao Shu had been standing in the cold wind for a long time.
Mu Beirong picked up Yao Shu and walked toward the palace.
Yao Shu looked up at him.
There was a little more stubble on her strong chin, and she looked a little bit older, but she was even more charming.
She raised her hand to rub his stubble: "You must be very tired."
"fine" "Ah" Yao Shu's smile suddenly changed and she covered her stomach with one hand.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Beirong's expression also changed.
He was now very cautious, fearing that something might happen to Yao Shu.
"The child moved."
Yao Shu looked surprised.
She looked down at her already obvious belly: "Really, he kicked me just now."
Mu Beirong walked to the bedroom, put Yao Shu down, and put his big hand on her belly: "It's really moving."
"Yes."
Yao Shu's eyes became softer and softer: "Baby, please move again."
As if he heard Yao Shu's words, his stomach moved again.
This time, Mubei Rong really felt it: "It really moved."
The couple, who were first time parents, were overjoyed because of their child's fetal movement.
Mu Beirong even watched Yao Shu's belly for a while, putting his ear to it to listen, and for a while, he gently rubbed it with his hands.
Unfortunately, he didn't move for a long time.
Mu Beirong then sat up and talked to Yao Shu about the journey.
The address of the treasure is actually in Qishan.
It turns out that Mu Beirong's master Gu Yan was entrusted by the previous generation, Mu Xiao's father, to live in Qishan and guard the treasure.

The Mu clan's treasure has been around for hundreds of years, so it's very troublesome to dig out the mountain.
Fortunately, I brought a lot of explosives, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back for a month.
"Then how much did you get back?"
Mu Beirong smiled: "Guess" Looking at his expression, Yao Shu knew that the harvest must be substantial: "Well, I guess, one million taels."
Mu Beirong smiled: "One million is enough for the army for two years.
With these treasures, the army can be fully supplied for at least ten years."
"Is it five million taels?"
Yao Shu was surprised: "Is there that much?"
Five million taels, one tael and fifty grams, converted into RMB, is almost 2.5 billion.
"Well" military expenditures have been settled, and the northern part of the curtain is much more relaxed.
At this time, battle reports are also coming from the front.
The army has arrived in northern Xinjiang and begun to attack the city.
However, there were still explosives left in Northern Xinjiang, and the two armies faced off, and there was a stalemate for a while.
The southern border did send 300,000 reinforcements to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Unfortunately, the casualties were very serious.
They had nothing to do with explosives and even feared them.
Perhaps if we hold on for a few more months, we can invade the southern border.
But will Huangfu Ji strike while the iron is hot and invade the southern border, or will he turn around and go back to relieve the siege of the northern border?
Half a month passed, and Dai Hu sent a message saying that the invasion of northern Xinjiang was just around the corner, but Huangfuji still did not drop his troops to rescue him, because the southern border was also about to be destroyed.
It seems that Huangfu Ji is betting on whether he can hold on longer or the southern border can hold on longer.
If the southern border is breached quickly, he can immediately lead his troops back to rescue him.
Unfortunately, after more than a month of non-stop attacks, both armies were in a state of exhaustion.
There was also a more serious problem, that is, Mucheng's attack on northern Xinjiang prevented the delivery of grain and grass from northern Xinjiang.
The army outside the southern border city was already running out of food and had no choice.
The southern border was about to be captured.
Huangfuji could only reluctantly order the army to return to the city.
After hearing the news that the Northern Xinjiang army had returned to the city, Mu Beirong also sent a message to Dai Hu, asking him to lead his men back, otherwise he would have to be attacked from both sides.
Moreover, the explosives brought by Dai Hu had been used up, which would be extremely detrimental to the Northern Xinjiang army.
Therefore, in this melee, except for Mucheng, the southern and northern borders were severely damaged.
It must take some time to rectify.
Some smart people will act at this time, such as Qin Hua When Huangfuji was in the imperial court, half of the ministers complained about his dissatisfaction with Huangfuji.
He blamed him and should have quickly mobilized troops to rescue him.
Now, the soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the army that spent so many weapons and manpower failed to win the southern border.
It was like losing his wife and losing troops.
Huangfu Ji was furious and immediately summoned the officials to discuss the matter.
Unexpectedly, he saw a person who shouldn't be in the palace this time.
Huangfu Yin Huangfuji immediately realized that this time it was not just a simple remonstrance from the minister, it was clearly premeditated.
"Huangfu Yin" Huangfu Ji looked at him coldly: "I am kind enough to spare you."
I kindly spared your life, but you still dare to come back."
Huangfuyin was wearing a simple green shirt, but he was still elegant and indifferent: "I didn't want to come back, but you didn't listen to my advice before I left, and insisted on going to war, bringing such great losses and burdens to the country and the people.
For the sake of the North I can’t just watch Jiang Bu Rui in your hands.”
"Haha, it's a joke."
Huangfu Ji sat on the dragon throne: "Put away your womanly kindness.
You are escaping me for a moment.
Indeed, how can we fight for the long-term prosperity of Northern Xinjiang without sacrificing anything?

If it hadn't been for the Mucheng to cross the border this time, Feet, our northern border has already entered the gate of the southern border."
"That's right, it's Mucheng."
Huangfu Yin said calmly: "The lord of Mucheng is the former Southern Territory General Guili.
You have fought against him many times.
Have you ever defeated him?"
Huangfu Jiyi gritted his teeth.
He was very conceited, but it was because he lost to Mu Beirong many times that many people questioned his ability.
"I will naturally defeat him this time.
Just wait and see."
Huangfu Yin shook his head: "Mucheng's unique terrain makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
And now there are 600,000 troops stationed there.
It's almost as difficult as climbing into the sky to attack it.
And the explosive you used this time is powerful, but it's Mrs.
Mucheng's."
The materials for making it are all in Mucheng and the southern border.
Your explosives are already limited, but they have inexhaustible supplies.
How can you win against them?"
Huangfu Ji slapped the table: "Huangfu Yin, don't think that I don't dare to kill you."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you really can't kill him."
As he spoke, Qin Hua walked in from outside the palace, followed by a group of guards.
The moment Huangfu Ji saw Qin Hua, he knew that his bad premonition had been stabbed.
He chuckled: "It is indeed you."
"It's me."
Qin Hua and Huangfu Yin stood side by side: "Didn't the Emperor always know that the person I love has never been you?"
Huangfu Ji's forehead suddenly became green: "So what?
You are my woman and my queen.
I have been obedient to you for five years, but I can't help but warm your heart."
"If you didn't force me to marry you, I wouldn't hate you."
Qin Hua said lightly: "Unfortunately, loving someone cannot be measured by time.
Let alone five years, I will not love you even in fifty years."
"Okay."
Huangfu knocked the pen holder off the table and said, "In that case, I'll help you, and you and him can go to the underworld and become husband and wife."
"I'm afraid Huangfu Ji will not be able to do what you want."
Qin Hua suddenly took out an imperial edict from his broad sleeves: "It was you who massacred your brothers and rebelled and usurped the throne.
Today, the Northern Territory must revitalize the imperial court."
Huangfu frowned: "What is that?"
Qin unfolded the painting, stood in front of the palace and read out to the ministers: "The late emperor has issued a decree that I am seriously ill and will die soon.
I have created this posthumous photo.
After my death, I will pass the throne to the fifth prince, Huangfu Yinqin."
As soon as this edict came out, all the ministers were in an uproar and looked at Huangfu's successor whose expression changed.
Prince Linjun, who was Qin Hua's brother, came out and received the imperial edict for the ministers to review one by one.
It was unmistakable that it was indeed the late emperor's photo.
"Pah!"
Huangfu Ji patted the desk: "Are you brave and want to rebel?
If there is a photo of the deceased, why didn't you show it before?"

"We have established the throne, so how can we be rebelling?"
Qin Hua waved his hand, and the guards surrounded everyone: "Huangfu Ji, your throne is unjust and unjust, and you have caused so much damage to Northern Xinjiang just a few months after taking office.
It is better to take the initiative to give way to talents than to suffer losses.”
"Don't even think about it."
Huangfu Ji smiled arrogantly: "Do you think I can be replaced by whoever wants to replace me?
Come on."
As soon as he finished speaking, another group of people rushed in from outside the palace.
As soon as the two parties came into contact, they started fighting without mercy.
Huangfu then drew his sword and broke out.
He was not fully prepared as Huangfu Yin was.
Naturally, these people could not defeat him.
Moreover, he had the reputation of usurping the throne again today.
The situation was extremely unfavorable to him.
Huangfu Ji was decisive and showed no interest in fighting.
He retreated outside the palace while fighting.
When the enemy wanted to pursue him, Huangfu Ji had already used Qinggong to plunder the palace.
No matter how angry Huangfuji is at this moment, he knows that this is not the time to act out of emotion, so why not let the adulterous couple occupy the palace for a while?
Huangfuji will take it back sooner or later.
After leaving the palace, Huangfu continued to speed up and rushed towards the army stationed outside the city.
There were still 200,000 troops there.
The generals of the army did not expect that Huangfu Ji came to the army alone, and hurriedly came out to greet Huangfu Ji.
He said that Huangfu Yin had rebelled and seized the throne, so he immediately ordered the army to rise and head south.
He is an ambitious person, and he will never give up.
With the team he brought out, he is bound to conquer a new territory.
There are a total of eight cities in Northern Xinjiang.
He will conquer them as he goes.
After conquering one, he will expand it by one point.
Power, how could the tens of thousands of city defenders defeat an army of 200,000?
In just one month, four cities were captured.
Huangfu then took control of four cities.
Two months later, he established his own empire and ascended the throne.
He named the empire Zhengliang, implying that he was the orthodox emperor.
From then on, the land in northern Xinjiang was divided into two emperors:
