The war continued for over half a month.
It reached the gates of the Royal City of Chu Qing Kingdom, finally ending with Emperor of Chu Qing personally appearing to surrender, cede territory, and pay reparations.
The reason was simple: the Bianliao soldiers were monsters!
Clearly, both sides had been severely injured in yesterday’s battle, needing at least seven days to recuperate before engaging again.
But they, within three days, were lively and energetic...
Who the hell can withstand that?!
They are simply monsters!
If Emperor of Chu Qing did not personally intervene, the Qingxuan Continent might no longer have Chu Qing Kingdom.
But ceding territory and paying reparations were minor issues; the most humiliating was having to bow and apologize, irrespective of life or death, to the common people who suffered massacres at the border city!
Emperor of Chu Qing was filled with unwillingness, having been schemed against!
Yet faced with those indestructible Bianliao monsters, if he didn’t make sacrifices, all the citizens of Chu Qing Kingdom would die...
He had made a wrong move.
It wasn’t until everything was lost that he realized he wasn’t the one playing chess but was merely a pawn being used.
Too late to regret, a thousand regrets and no remedy!
However, he from the depths of his heart despised that legendary Mighty General of Bianliao.
With a woman’s kindness, ultimately a useless person.
Already at the gates of the Royal City, yet withdrew the troops.
If he were the King of Bianliao, he would have been so infuriated that he would be fuming with rage!
Indeed, as soon as King of Bianliao heard the news, he almost fainted with anger!
He urgently sent a message over eight hundred miles, ordering Yelyu Lie to seize the Chu Qing Kingdom at all costs, whether manpower, resources, or finances, to pursue victory and expand Bianliao’s territory!
Yet, his foolish son paid no heed to his words.
He just replied with five words: "Fight it yourself."
This time, King of Bianliao was truly so enraged that he fainted and lay on his bed for half a month before recovering.
And meanwhile, Yelyu Lie was in the fields, helping his young wife put up greenhouses.
The weather was getting cold, and his young wife said that with this technology, crops could grow rapidly despite harsh weather.
Of course, she was saying this for others to hear; Yelyu Lie knew it was actually the Spiritual Spring Water in his wife’s space that was working its magic.
Once irrigated with that Spiritual Spring Water, the crops could grow visibly within a few hours.
Yelyu Lie had seen it with his own eyes and knew how miraculous and mysterious this was.
It was a secret not to be shared with anyone.
This didn’t include Lian Qiao, who strutted arrogantly, knowing about it even earlier than him!
Yelyu Lie turned his fury into strength, a mighty general on the battlefield, worked on farming with more vigour than anyone else.
It was precisely this enthusiasm that provided a cover for the rapid growth of crops.
Without anyone asking, he proudly proclaimed the unprecedented brilliance of his young wife.
Of course, this was all self-promotion by the Barbarian General.
Yun Chunnuan didn’t acknowledge it!
She felt embarrassed!
"Husband, when you go outside the city for a deal tomorrow, please don’t brag to everyone!
The people of Bianliao are plain and worship you like a deity; they believe whatever you say. If outsiders hear those words, they’ll laugh at you! That greenhouse technology wasn’t invented by me..."
"I don’t care! The first time I saw it, it was done by my wife, so it’s my wife’s invention! If any ignorant brat from another country dares to laugh, I’ll lead the troops and march to their Royal City, making their king kneel and apologize to my wife!"
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
Has he let it get to his head?
He originally wasn’t a person who liked war.
If the Spiritual Spring’s nurturing makes him into a reckless, homicidal nature, it wouldn’t be good.
"Husband, never be overly greedy; I don’t even know if the Spiritual Spring will run out like the Blood Beads suddenly one day.
Besides, we agreed to tell those soldiers in a hurry to win battles and get home to marry, that it was a divine medicine I brought back from Great Xia, and there’s only a bit; once it’s used up, it’s gone.
You even once taught me not to let those soldiers grow dependent on Blood Beads, becoming fearless and reckless, yet now..."
"Wife."
From the other side of the greenhouse, the man suddenly poked his head out, "Have I ever told you that when you seriously teach people a lesson, you look like an old scholar.
How could I ever use my wife’s treasure as a chip to win battles? Even if I have to fight, I’ll wait until after I’m married and do it openly with honor!"
