General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 670: The Desolate World (2)

"What are you talking about?" After Fang Chen and Li Hong finished discussing things, they came to look for Ji Xiaomu and happened to see Ji Xiaomu and Zhang Lao together.

"General, didn't you tell your wife about the main city's affairs?" Old Zhang looked at Fang Chen and asked softly.

"Why do you ask that?" Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu in confusion. Ji Xiaomu told Fang Chen what had just happened and said, "Is it really so chaotic outside now? There's clearly no fighting yet."

Fang Chen understood Zhang Lao's confusion and whispered to Ji Xiaowu, "Although the three princes did not start a war, they continued to take actions in private. Starting a war is only the final result, and the winner will be the king."

"So the people below had to choose sides. That's why those like Zhang Lao who wanted to live a peaceful life chose to leave and find a place to hide away from the world. But not everyone has the same idea as them. Many families chose one of the princes for the sake of the future, betting that he could sit on the throne. As long as they win the bet, they will have wealth and glory in the future."

Zhang Lao agreed with Fang Chen's words, "Now the eldest prince has the help of the prime minister, and the prime minister took the opportunity to clear out many officials who were once his enemies. Now the main city is ruled by the prime minister alone."

"In the main city, if you disobey the prime minister, you will die. The first prince is weak and incompetent, and he is the eldest son, so many families are optimistic about him. The second prince is cruel and ruthless, but he has a powerful mother family that can compete with the first prince and the prime minister. The fourth prince is brave and warlike, and it is rumored that he has already assembled 100,000 elite soldiers..."

Zhang Laodao said, "It's not that the Third Prince is bad, but the Third Prince is indeed despised in their eyes."

"The four princes each have their own strengths and are evenly matched. This situation is very unfriendly to the people below. Only when the country is peaceful can the people live in peace. Now the princes are fighting for the throne, causing panic among the people. Everyone is in danger. Now the villains are in power. The main city is in chaos. Those people are rampant and tyrannical. No one is in charge. There is no law and justice. Madam, you have not experienced it, so you can't imagine that scene."

"It's really hard to imagine." Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen, and Fang Chen touched Ji Xiaomu's head.

"I never want you to see that kind of scene." Fang Chen said.

"The general is right. It would be best if Madam never sees such a scene in her life!" Old Zhang looked at Fang Chen and Ji Xiaomu.

The general and his wife have a very good relationship.

"How did things go?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

"It's almost done. When do you want to go back?" Fang Chen asked.

"How about going back tomorrow?" asked Ji Xiaomu. She had been out for several days and was a little worried.

"Okay." Fang Chen had no objection.

But Mr. Zhang standing by did.

"General, Madam, are you leaving tomorrow?" Old Zhang was anxious.

"Master Zhang, you and your disciples can recuperate here. It won't be too late for you to come back after they are well. Moreover, with your disciples here, we can secretly manufacture a batch of weapons that will be useful to me." Fang Chen's words made Master Zhang feel relieved. He almost forgot that he had promised Fang Chen to build a batch of weapons here first.

Just now, he subconsciously wanted to go back with them. Old Zhang looked at Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen. He could feel security and happiness from these two people.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang! Take good care of your injuries." Aunt Ji smiled at Mr. Zhang.

"Yes, ma'am." Elder Zhang replied with a smile. "By the way, what about those people who pretended to be Zhang family disciples?"
