“How did you know?” someone asked curiously.

The handsome scholar said with a proud face: “I’m not going to hide it from you, I am from the Yan Country, my ancestors have been officials in the Yan government for three generations, so I know a little bit of insider information.”

“When the Yan soldiers enter the city, you must not go out. Just hide in your homes. The Yan treats the common people well and will not make things difficult for you.”

He explained carefully.

“Is the Yan really going to rise again?”

Many people on the scene still looked incredulous.

“Let’s go, let’s go, we’re so close to Nanyu Prefecture, what if the soldiers arrive later?”

“That makes sense, we better go home early today to avoid misfortune.”

Soon, the people in the inn left one by one.

The handsome scholar smiled and left the inn as well.

When he reached a deserted corner, a pair of black wings appeared behind him.

A raven pattern flashed on his arm.

With a flap of his wings, he headed to the next state and county.

rul N_nne unr•xnuvvll the news of the Restoration of the Yan spread quickly across most of the south.

It was a shocking piece of news!

Since the drought this year, the Xia Country had already lost most of the people’s hearts.

As they say, food is the heaven for the people.

Filling the stomach is the top priority.

No matter how much merit you had before, or how many good deeds you had done, once people starve to death, nothing you say will matter.

Half a year of famine left corpses all over the Jianghuai region, and the First Emperor’s birthday made life unbearable everywhere.

After the New Emperor took the throne, the situation improved somewhat.

However, the impact still remained.

And it exacerbated even more intense conflicts!

With the New Emperor’s accession, the examination system was opened, allowing humble families to be appointed to positions, and a large number of officials were changed at both the central and local levels, forcing local gentry as well as food donations to be made.

This undoubtedly touched the cake of the local nobles and aristocratic family disciples.

As a result, the local nobility was extremely unhappy.

In this way, the Xia Country undoubtedly offended both the common people and the nobility all at once.

Food prices remained high, merchants hoarded food, and created wealth from the nation’s tribulations, making life unbearable for the local people.

There was chaos in the officialdom, because of the harsh new laws, small crimes became major ones, major crimes led to extermination of nine clans, and the strict laws were like a ferocious tiger!

All the officials were more oppressed than ever!

Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of change!

It was at this time that, the news of the Restoration of the Yan came out.

Without a doubt, it was a heavy blow to the already miserable Xia Country, adding frost to the snow.

For the majority of the common people, it was like seeing the dawn of hope.

Anyway, the vast majority of the common people grew up under the rule of the

Yan.

Including their relatives, fathers, uncles, and all grew up under the rule of the

Yan.

In recent times, storytellers have been telling tales of the past prosperous times in inns and taverns, where the image of the Yan and the appearance of the Crown Prince of the Yan were portrayed excellently.

Many people yearned for the Yan.

In Minyue Prefecture,

Hu Yunjiao led the troops to another large city in the land of the extreme south.

He wore a solemn expression, not daring to be careless.

Minyue Prefecture was easy to defend but hard to attack, and it should have been a tough battle.

He was prepared for the possibility of sacrifice.

This city was different from the small cities encountered previously. Small cities could be easily conquered without any resistance.

But large cities had city walls for protection, and the price of victory had to be paid.

There was a flicker of cyan light on the flood dragon spearhead.

Hu Yunjiao took the lead, wielding a spear.

Behind him, dressed in Blood Scale Jade Armor, the Dragon Riders of the Yan were ready to attack the city.

Just as he was about to give the order to attack the city.

—Zi1a!

A heavy sound came from the front.

Surprisingly, the large wooden gate, more than ten meters tall, opened on its own.

This caused Hu Yunjiao to be astonished.

Every abnormality has its monster.

He had his bodyguards wave the banner.

The whole army was ordered to halt immediately and stop in its tracks.

Hu Yunjiao was still cautious while facing the wide-open city gate.

At this moment, a slightly restrained voice came from in front of the city gate.

“Are you the soldiers of the Yan?”

“If so, come in.

Hearing the other party say this, Hu Yunjiao looked at each other with the nearby commanders.

They were all very puzzled.

A group of ordinary-looking common people came out of the city gate and raised their hands to say:

“We are all law-abiding citizens.”

“We are here to welcome the Yan into the city.”

Hu Yunjiao’s eyes lit up, but he still dared not let his guard down, fearing there was a trap, and asked:

“Where is your governor?”

“We have him tied up.”

Hu Yunjiao cleared his throat, his Divine Insight quickly passed through the city gate, and saw a group of people tied up, including many wearing official robes.

Their looks and temperament didn’t seem fake.

“Whimper, whimper!”

The governor’s eyes were filled with horror as he saw the leading commoner and let out a whine.

The man at the front saw this, stepped forward and kicked him.

“You dog official, behave yourself!”

He directly knocked the governor out.

Although Hu Yunjiao was suspicious of how these common people managed to capture the governor, he did not delve too deeply, thinking that the Yan was welcomed by the common people.

Because there were more important things to do right now.

“Capture the next city, regroup, and continue on.”

In the Nanyu Prefecture Mansion,

Zhao Huai sat up straight in the main hall, with Yin Nanyu by his side, listening to the report from Song Heqing.

“Reporting to Your Highness, this is the attachment letter from Anyang County.”

Song Heqing took out the documents and laid them out in front of Zhao Huai.

“This is from Taiping County.”

“This is from the Governor of Fuzhou.”

“Dan Zhou’s…”

“Yun Gui Prefecture’s…”

Zhao Huai looked at the documents piling up like a small mountain in front of him, scratching his head, his face filled with astonishment and wonder:

“How can there be so many?”
