In front of the soul, Kou Wanwan knelt for a long time.

After the paper money in the brazier burned out, she slowly stood up.

After getting up, he stood on the same spot again, staring at the three spiritual cards with his two peach blossom and almond eyes, in a daze.

After a while, Kou Wanwan moved.

Walking towards the desk, he reached out and picked up the first spiritual tablet. His slender jade-like fingertips slid and touched the writing on the tablet.

Then he took out a handkerchief as white as snow from his sleeve and gently wiped the spiritual tablet.

"Father..."

Crystal hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes and flowed along his cheeks that could be easily broken by blows.

"You said that you would teach your daughter to ride horses and archery, and you would also give your daughter a young horse from a thousand-mile horse, and teach your daughter to raise the horse with your own hands..."

The hot tears were still falling down, but Kou Wanwan didn't care at all, she just took the handkerchief and gently wiped the spiritual tablet.

"Father, you lied to me...you lied to your daughter...Father, please come back quickly..."

After a long time, Kou Wanwan put the spirit tablet back and straightened it out.

Then he picked up another piece.

When she saw the handwriting on the spirit tablet, Kou Wanwan burst into tears again.

"Queen Mother... you once said that you would put your daughter's wedding dress on and dress her up with your own hands... Your daughter will always wait for that day... Queen Mother... why did you abandon your daughter..."

By the time she picked up the third spiritual tablet, Kou Wanwan's mood had improved a lot.

"Brother Emperor, your long-standing wish is to govern the country with benevolence. Make the people of the world prosperous and healthy, so that foreign enemies dare not invade...Brother Emperor, don't worry, your wish will be fulfilled for you!"

After wiping the three spiritual tablets, Kou Wanwan returned them one by one, took a step back, and refilled the three incense burners with three sticks of incense.

"Father, queen, and brother. The king of Shaozhou has rebelled and has been defeated like a mountain. This is a great opportunity to avenge you!"

"Father, mother, queen, and brother, don't worry, my daughter will take off the traitor's head to comfort the souls of father, mother, and brother in heaven!"

"When my daughter kills the rebel minister, take his head and place it in front of his soul for sacrifice. At that time, my father, my queen, my brother, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

With that said, Kou Wanwan squatted down and added paper money to the brazier.

The firelight of the paper money reflected on her thrilling face, flickering on and off, as if it was plated with a layer of gold.

"Young Palace Master, the carriage, horses, etc. have been prepared, everything has been arranged, and you are ready to set off at any time."

A person came out from behind the heavy curtains, dressed as a maid, and her voice was very low.

"I know." Kou Wanwan melted all the paper money into the brazier, stood up slowly, looked at the three spiritual tablets attentively, and her tone was suddenly cold and chilling: "Change clothes!"

…

…

Jiangzhou.

The front hall of Dong's Mansion.

The issue of "the king of Shaozhou came with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers to kill" is still under discussion.

After a while of silence.

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced around, slowly stood up, and walked to the middle of the front hall.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Father-in-law, all gentlemen." Zhu Xiuyuan held his hands and said, "To confront the King of Shaozhou and the more than 10,000 remaining soldiers he brought with him, I have thought of a way."

Dong Cheng said happily: "What can I do about a good son-in-law?"

Liu Wencai: "Brother Zhu's method must be a wonderful one!"

Li Linzhou also intervened: "Master Sima, we are all at a loss. Since Master Sima has a wonderful method, we might as well tell him."

The Crown Prince, sitting high up, saw Dong Cheng and others speaking one after another, and felt in his heart that he should also speak.

So the prince straightened his sitting posture, took out the etiquette form that he had studied so hard in the past, and said with a smile: "Oh, since Lord Sima has a wonderful method, why not tell it so that I can put your mind at ease."

Yan Dashan, the two elders Liu and Guan, and other government officials kept silent and only looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with a pair of eyes.

All they could think of was to "hold the city and wait for King Shaozhou to attack".

Therefore, I am extremely curious about Zhu Xiuyuan's method.

If this is the reality, is there a better way?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your father-in-law, and all of you sirs. I can't even speak of a wonderful method..." Zhu Xiuyuan was humble.

"In a nutshell, this method is to 'gather and annihilate them'!" Zhu Xiuyuan didn't talk too much and simply pointed out the essence of this method.

"If we rely on Jiangzhou City to hold on and wait for King Shaozhou to attack, we will be slightly passive, and our manpower and material resources will not be able to be consumed."

"So, we can make a change and turn passivity into initiative!" Zhu Xiuyuan continued.

"Xian son-in-law, I can guess some of your methods, but... how to turn passivity into initiative?" Dong Cheng frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be that your benefactor's intention was to use that fierce fire oil to gather Shaozhou King and his ten thousand remaining soldiers in one place and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" Yan Dashan guessed, glaring.

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "Da Shan is right, but not entirely right!"

"There is also divine thunder!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Liu Wencai added together. After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Divine Thunder is black gunpowder, and the name Divine Thunder was specially chosen by Zhu Xiuyuan.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Liu are right. Fierce fire oil alone is not enough. Divine thunder is also needed. In combination with fierce fire oil and divine thunder, the King of Shaozhou and his tens of thousands of remnants will not be able to escape!"

"But... Lord Sima, how can we gather the King of Shaozhou and his ten thousand remaining soldiers together? How can we annihilate them in one fell swoop?" Li Linzhou pointed out the two most critical questions.

"Yes, virtuous son-in-law..." Dong Cheng frowned even more tightly. Although he had been an official for many years, he couldn't think of a way at this time.

His Royal Highness, Liu Wencai, Yan Dashan and others also frowned in thought.

The method of gathering together and annihilating them is good, but how to implement it?

Everyone thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

"My virtuous son-in-law, since you proposed the method of gathering them together and annihilating them, my virtuous son-in-law must have carefully planned out the specific details, right?"

Dong Cheng suddenly saw that Zhu Xiuyuan's face was calm, without any trace of frowning and contemplation, and he suddenly understood in his heart that they were frowning and thinking hard, and it seemed that they were looking for trouble.

"Haha, my father-in-law is right. There is indeed a specific implementation method here..."

Zhu Xiuyuan should explain the method immediately.

After hearing this, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

Wonderful, it is indeed a wonderful method!

Because the King of Shaozhou will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest, and time is tight. Now that we have the magic method, we should prepare it immediately.

Dong Cheng lowered his head and meditated for a moment, and in just a few breaths, he had sorted out the sequence of the entire magical method.

Then allocate manpower, assign tasks, and arrange various tasks in an orderly manner.

While we were busy, it was getting dark and lights began to be turned on in the city.

As we continue to be busy, most of the night has passed.
Chapter completed!
