Chapter 660: I Still Have One More Place to Go

for nothing Our family's savings have almost been drained."Li Muhai was skilled at building houses, but there were no more people in town needing new houses built. Business was slow and it was becomin...The good news is that the imperial court sent an army over, and all of those Wu Meng people on the mountain have been captured.

"According to the leading general, when they were found, almost everyone of them had wounds on their bodies."

"So they were taken down without much effort."

It was too easy to win, these people's injuries came too strangely, the people from Wumeng Kingdom were very emotional after being captured.

It sounds like they're accusing Dahxi people of being shameless. They know Dahxi are on the mountain, but they won't fight openly, so they resort to underhanded tactics behind their backs.

Fang Jinxiu silently turned her head, pretending to pour water to hide her smile.

"Got you."

Then the people in the foothills would be safe.

Pan Zhian nodded and said it was good news, but his expression didn't quite match.

"Master Pan, is there anything else you haven't said"

"Hey."

"The people of Wumeng are very vengeful. If it weren't for the traps on the mountain, they should have had a chance to escape unscathed this time."

The Imperial Army arrived too late.

"I fear they will take revenge and hold this grudge against the people living near these mountains."

Fang Jinxiu understood Pan Zhi'an's meaning.

This mountain range, connected to the wild mountains, stretches for thousands of miles and has a very complex terrain.

The imperial garrison couldn't possibly be stationed here.

Though the pass was treacherous, people from Wumeng found a way to cross it.

Once the imperial army withdraws, if they want to come back for revenge, I'm afraid they'll be unstoppable.

But rest assured, although the imperial troops stationed here cannot remain long-term, this matter has already attracted the attention of the border defense army.

They would send a military force to patrol at intervals, which had some deterrent effect on the Kingdom of Umeng.

In the short term, they should not dare to cross borders at will and run amok.

Fang Jinshui let out a sneer, "Is the imperial army here to inspect for the safety of the people, or is it for the iron ore on the mountain"

Pan Zhian immediately grew serious and said, "Miss Zong, please be careful with your words."

"If the court were to learn that common folk also know about the existence of red iron ore, I fear West Continent would be completely abandoned."

Fang Jinshu's eyes couldn't hide the disgust. "The people of Xizhou have been suffering for a long time, and I haven't seen the court do anything about it."

“Who knows who will abandon whom if this goes on.”

When people are driven to a corner, they will inevitably find ways to carve out a path for themselves.

If the court turns a blind eye, it's possible that in time, another ruler could emerge on the lands of Xi Zhou.

Fang Jinshi only mentioned the worst possible outcome she could think of, as a reminder to Pan Zhi'an.

She had no lofty ambitions, she only wished for peace in the world.

Who the ruler of this dynasty was, she also didn't care about at all.

All I ask is for there to be no more war.

Flourishing, the people suffer; perishing, the people suffer.

Pan Zhi'an felt as if a sudden enlightenment had struck him. He immediately stood up and hurried to bid farewell to Fang Jinshi and his wife.

"This official remembers there are still some official duties to attend to. Lady Zong, please take care of yourself, I'll be taking my leave."

Fāng Jǐnxiù got up and saw them off.

Zongyu walked up to her, "You deliberately told Master Pan these things."

Fang Jinshi smiled, "My Ah Yu looks big and rough, but his mind is actually as delicate as those in official positions."

Zong Yu was a little embarrassed by his wife's flattery, but men are always willing to hear praise from their wives, especially when compared to other men.

"Official Pan is a good official, he's too busy. In a few days, he might not even think of this."

I just don't want to see war break out in Xizhou.

"These people already have a hard life."

Fang Jinxiu's eyes held a hint of sadness. Zong Yu stared intently at his wife's beautiful profile, letting out a soft sigh before pulling her into his embrace. He gently stroked the top of her hair with his chin.

"The war will not spread to the Western Continent."

Fāng Jǐnxiù didn't respond. yù's way of comforting people was too direct.

Pan Zhi'an was a local official, and since he said that Xi Zhou was going to war, it was probably already a done deal at the imperial court.

No, she has to get ready early.

There are so many mouths to feed at home.

Fang Jinshu suddenly withdrew from Zong Yu's arms, her expression becoming serious.

"Ah Yu, let's write another letter to Mother."

"I'm afraid we can't go back just yet. I have to go somewhere else first."he also saw her hand tightly clasped with Zongyu's. A dull pain stabbed at her heart.Her thick, long eyelashes drooped down, hiding the hurt and disappointment beneath them.Fang Jinshi seemed to delib...
