Chapter 153 The plot has changed again
Mu Zhen believed that in the first playthrough, Bai Qingyan eventually became the number one imperial merchant and the most solid financial backer of Longyuan.
As for the Huangfu family, because they chose the wrong side, they were naturally affected by the downfall of Emperor Tianhuang.
Finally, the entire clan migrated abroad to develop their careers.
Because Bai Qingyan admired the Long family, he wholeheartedly supported their rebellion, and he single-handedly replenished the family's wealth several times.
Because of this favor, Long Yuan immediately bestowed upon the Bai family the title of First Imperial Merchant after ascending to the throne.
If the Bai family followed Yun Dan, Yun Dan's achievements in this life would definitely soar to great heights, far surpassing the Tianji Tower in the first playthrough.
That's right. In the first playthrough, Tianji Tower also gained a small merit by following Long Yuan.
It must be said that the Long family's prestige in the Eastern Kingdom is truly immense, especially among the common people.
Didn't you hear what Yao Qianyou said? In her village, the portraits people worship are not of Bodhisattvas or emperors, but of Longyuan.
Well…..
The people here are strange and peculiar; people are still alive and well when their portraits are pasted up and incense is burned on them!
I wonder what Long Yuan's expression would be if he saw this, hahaha!
It's easy to understand why the people admire Longyuan. Which person from the Eastern Kingdom doesn't want the Eastern Kingdom to unify all the countries in the world? And the only ones who can do this are the military generals responsible for expanding the territory.
The Mu family also has many soldiers, but beyond the western border is the vast sea, and on the other side of the sea are mostly small countries that can be easily subdued.
The majority of the problem lies outside the northern border. Once we subdue those major powers outside the northern border, the rest will be no problem.
The common people have been eagerly anticipating the Long family army's expeditions to expand their territory.
No wonder the old emperor was so restless. Which emperor wants his generals to outvote the people more than he does?
What if they rebel?
If Mu Zhen were the old emperor, he wouldn't openly suppress the Long family; only a madman would do that.
Instead, he recruited soldiers and sent them to guard the western border, while sending the Mu family army to the northern border to fight against other countries for his father.
Only a fool would give them time to rebel.
Aren't the common people all calling for territorial expansion? Well, here's your wish: since the army has already set out, those of you in the rear should tighten your belts and work as hard as you can to increase production.
In his opinion, the old emperor probably didn't think of this method; rather, he was getting old and had started to fear death.
They felt that doing so could very likely trigger a world war.
Pshaw! Let's fight then, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Anything is better than being rebelled against, right?
"We'll have people keeping an eye on Bai Luoluo. As long as she shows any intention of coming over, you'll come back and take over."
After reaching an agreement with Brother Bai, Mu Zhen prepared to leave.
The rest of the Bai family members came out to see them off.
"The people who will replace you will arrive tonight, so you should go and pack your things," Yun Dan instructed them.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai nodded repeatedly, their faces beaming with joy. Rather than sitting here timidly and waiting to die, they would rather work hard with their son.
Bai's father, who had originally planned to retire early, has decided to become his son's assistant. Whether he can carve out a path for himself depends on this opportunity.
After taking one last look at the Bai family, Mu Zhen suddenly felt as if a heavy burden had been placed on his shoulders.
If only my brothers were here.
He still hoped to grow together with his partners and conquer the world together.
Back at the hospital, Mu Zhen went to Lü Bu's ward first. Although the young man wasn't very shrewd, he was loyal.
He was always very accurate in choosing his subordinates; he wouldn't hire anyone with even the slightest ulterior motive.
Lu Bu and Liu Si were loyal to the original owner of the body and were very righteous to him. At that time, Liu Si could have stayed in the cave, but he risked his life to come out and support him.
Most importantly, these two are ruthless and straightforward. They do whatever they're told, even if they know it might cost them their lives.
As for Yao Qianyou, the young girl is a person full of positive energy, and she always wants to benefit her hometown.
Such people rarely betray others.
Then let's get everything moving! What's the point of just benefiting one town?
There are so many impoverished mountain villages across the country; whether she can help them all become prosperous depends on her abilities.
The key to making a mountain village prosperous is nothing more than building roads. If Yao Qianyou can build a main road that connects all the mountains in her lifetime, that will be her greatest achievement.
"Boss, you're back. War God and the others came looking for you earlier, and..." He looked at Lü Dan, wondering if he could talk about that matter now.
Lu Dan looked at Mu Zhen with a half-smile, her expression as if to say, "If you dare to be wary of me, then you are a heartless man."
Mu Zhen helplessly scratched his head, bent down and sat on the sofa: "Speak!"
"Madam Huangfu is not the Zhao family's biological daughter, but the child who was lost by the Nangong family." Lu Bu's eyes gleamed with excitement, sparks of gossip igniting within them.
"Huh? Is it really that melodramatic?" Lu Dan was stunned. Was Madam Huangfu the child from the Nangong family?
Liu Si and Yao Qianyou both stared wide-eyed; it really was a melodramatic situation.
Lu Bu knew they would have this expression: "They've already done the DNA test, tsk tsk tsk, this is really unexpected!"
"Tell me more details," Lü Dan pulled up a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, excitedly pressing for answers.
Mu Zhen was the only one who didn't participate in their gossip and entertainment, which surprised her greatly.
Why is another major plot point being brought forward?
"I heard that the murder of Young Master Huangfu is related to one of his cousins. The young commander-in-chief thinks that since his cousin has ulterior motives, the Zhao family may not be innocent either."
So they secretly investigated and uncovered this shocking secret.
Lady Huangfu was a child the Zhao family bought from human traffickers, blah blah blah…
Mu Zhen, like Xiao Jukeng, tilted his head and touched his chin. In the plot, Mu Yunfei clearly didn't connect this to Huangfu Zique's attack.
Did Lao Tzu's arrival actually increase his IQ?
Tsk!
The attack and the reunion with family were separated by three months.
It should be the female lead, Bai Luoluo, who steps forward to expose this truth. The two things combined—saving Madam Huangfu's life and helping her find her relatives—are what make Madam Huangfu run to help her son snatch away his wife.
Because she believed that Bai Luoluo was the benefactor to her and Huangfu Zique.
My God, the plot has fallen apart so badly that he doesn't know how to handle it anymore.
It's all a mess, a complete mess.
Without these two plot points, would Madam Huangfu still accept Bai Luoluo as her daughter-in-law?
Huangfu Zique seems to be constantly arguing with Madam Huangfu because of Bai Luoluo, but he is actually very filial. If Madam Huangfu threatens to kill herself, Huangfu Zique will definitely compromise.
After all, that guy believed that love doesn't necessarily mean possession. It's just as good to protect someone silently from behind. At worst, he could find a like-minded woman to appease both sets of parents, have a child artificially created, and then they could go their separate ways.
He wants to spend his whole life protecting Bai Luoluo.
This is a psychological description of Huangfu Zique in the book.
Holy crap, it can't really end up like this, right? Actually, it's not a big deal. After all, the child was conceived through IVF, and he's still innocent, so the female lead probably won't mind too much... right?
Rubbing his temples, Mu Yunfei thought, "Damn it, it must be because the female lead isn't around that I'm lying there with nothing to do, so I'm thinking about all sorts of things, and finally I've come up with the key point."
As expected of a male protagonist who likes to assume the worst about others.
hiss!
Has he been using this kind of mentality to speculate about Lao Tzu?
