Chapter 369: Let's go to the coast of the Western Region first and come back later
Finally, Yu Jiuer, who had gotten the upper hand, added: "However, I'm afraid that no more prisoners will come into Yinshan County in the future! You see, the court dismissed so many ministers this time, and the new emperor didn't send any ministers to the border!"
"He wanted to drain all the troops from the West Gate Camp to prevent Mo'er from using them. He would definitely not allow any more prisoners to come! If it weren't for the imperial edicts stopping him, that evil beast would have been eager to destroy the border defense camp and Yinshan County, right?" The old emperor looked solemn and continued,
"Fortunately, the 'seclusion policy' that Yu Wushuang applied for at that time has been used until now. Before he ascended the throne, I drafted an imperial decree stipulating that he cannot modify any of Yinshan County's original policies. Otherwise, he might immediately send dozens of spies here."
Jun Mo comforted him, "Don't worry, old man. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, no prisoners have been exiled to the frontier. You don't need to worry! He should have thought that I would be on guard against him and would not be so stupid as to make such a move."
Yu Jiuer nodded in agreement.
The old emperor snorted coldly and questioned Yu Jiuer with narrowed eyes: "How much have you two done behind my back? If it were in the past, I would have killed your entire clan ten times."
"Not much! From what you see now, you have a keen eye and chose my brother to be the county magistrate, so of course we have to make some achievements! If there are not enough people, we can recruit them! You are so wise and brave, you won't object, right?" Yu Jiuer smiled, just hoping that he would not insist on this issue.
The old emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Forget it. Since you have made achievements and have not caused any trouble, I will forgive you for now! But what kind of magic power do you two have that can drive so many people to work for you?"
It was not until this moment that Yu Jiuer finally heard praise in the old emperor's tone. This was considered as tacit approval for her to use prisoners to do work. Her heart finally settled down.
I’m so afraid that this old man will stick to his principles and immediately stop her from ordering the prisoners to come to the county to work!
Yu Jiuer quickly cupped her hands and complimented: "It is thanks to God's blessing and the wise decision of the emperor that Yinshan County is enjoying such a good life today!"
Since he needs help, give him a thumbs up!
The old emperor sighed and said, "Alas! Yu Wushuang died so unjustly. If I have another chance in this lifetime, I will definitely add to his achievements!"
Jun Mo looked at Yu Jiuer proudly, wanting to tell his high and mighty father that all the development and construction here originated from his kind-hearted and extremely intelligent daughter-in-law.
Yu Jiuer struck while the iron was hot and said, "Grandpa, after seeing so much, I wonder if the development of Yinshan County is to your liking? Now, can you agree to pave the way for us?"
The old emperor glanced at her and said in a muffled voice, "Aren't there still forests and the western coastal areas that have not been inspected yet? Who knows if you have lied to me?"
"Didn't you see the vastness of the forest when you were paragliding in the air? What else is there to see?" Yu Jiuer asked with a headache, "Also, do you really want to go to the coast of the Western Region? Going deep into the enemy camp is no joke!"
"Am I kidding? It's getting late. Let's talk about it after we inspect the forest tomorrow!"
This sentence made Yu Jiuer have no choice but to ask people to prepare the hot air balloon for inspecting the forest tomorrow.
The next day, after flying a few circles on the hot air balloon, the old emperor was still not satisfied and said, "This thing is amazing. I want to sit on it and watch the sunset!"
Then, Jun Mo and Yu Jiuer had to spend another day with him.
Coming out of the hot air balloon, Yu Jiuer coaxed the old emperor and said, "Old man, after seeing so much, you should finally agree now, right?"
"I can write a few letters first and choose some people who will not betray Mo'er and me." The old emperor finally gave in, thought about it and continued,
"However, what I want most now is my troops. Can you see if there is any way to grab them first?"
Yu Jiuer poured cold water on him directly: "Old man, this is very difficult. Let's not be picky in this situation. Let's get whoever we can! Who made you order the three armies to obey the tiger talisman when you were in power? So a broken tiger talisman can deceive the three armies!"
The old emperor felt guilty again. He walked away with his hands behind his back, looking unhappy, saying, "I changed my mind. I haven't been to the coast of the Western Regions yet! Who knows if you are fooling me? Go to the coast of the Western Regions first and then write to me!"
Hearing this, Yu Jiuer wished she could sew her mouth shut.
Couldn't she just bear with it a little longer?
Now, if this old man gives up, how can she and Jun Mo realize their great cause?
Yu Jiuer felt annoyed for a while, but she had to nod and agree: "Okay! If the wind blows towards the coast of the Western Region tomorrow, I will take you out of the border. We will first take a hot air balloon to the coast of the Western Region, and then get off and walk over. We can reach the market at the coastal pier in less than a day, and you can shop as much as you want!"
Jun Mo added: "Before we set off, let the paragliders explore the way. Once we confirm it is safe, we will accompany Father there!"
"It's the only way!" Who told her not to control her mouth and have to say something back to him?
But she seemed to have developed a habit and would feel uncomfortable if she didn't confront him.
The next day, the wind blew strongly towards the coast of the western regions. The old emperor was so happy that he came to Yu Jiuer early in the morning to fulfill his promise.
Yu Jiuer got up with a sad face.
The assassins of the Black Wind Society have become very skilled at paragliding with Shadow in recent days. They volunteered to serve as ambassadors to protect their master in this mission, and there is no need to rely on the paragliders of the Xiguan Camp.
They also found two groups of people from the Western Regions in the forest. On a whim, these Black Wind Society killers lured the people from the Western Regions to play around in the forest for a few rounds.
Near noon, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo, who had prepared everything, took the old emperor on a hot air balloon and headed towards the coast of the Western Region.
In the hot air balloon, the old emperor saw the vast coastline occupied by the Western Regions, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Yu Jiuer couldn't help but mock him again: "If you had believed in the prince when you were in power, and sent an army of 100,000 or 200,000 to attack us, what would the people of the Western Regions have to do with this rich coastline now?"
"Won't you be unhappy if you don't expose other people's scars?" The old emperor pouted, looking aggrieved.
Yu Jiuer had to add one more thing: "Also, if you had abolished the Yinshan Contract at that time, we wouldn't have to worry about being demoted to slavery. How much less worry would that be? People have to face up to their mistakes in order to correct them in time! Escaping can't solve the problem!"
"Aren't I solving the problem? If you say another word, I'll throw you down!" The old emperor became angry and embarrassed as he spoke.
Yu Jiuer, adhering to the principle that a good woman dare not fight with a man, let him go for the time being.
The six people, who had put on their makeup, finally arrived safely at the dock market on the coast of the Western Region when night fell.
When the old emperor saw the bustling market late at night and the wide variety of seafood and other goods in the market, he felt itchy.
Yu Jiuer looked around, found her target, and took a few money bags to help the old emperor with his expenses.
