I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 163 Inventorying the Victory

Dongfang Jin: "..."

I'm speechless and extremely heartbroken.

"I'm saying, can you please not listen to my true feelings?"

Ruyi looked at her with a puzzled expression: "I didn't want to either?"

"Can't you just not listen?"

"Hehe, I'm used to it. I'll be more careful next time, I definitely will."

"cut."

"Look at that old bastard Zheng Sihan, he actually colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. He's a complete traitor."

“Oh, let me see,” Dongfang Jin said incredulously, taking the letter from its hand.

After seeing the contents, Dongfang Jin fell silent, then became furious.

This person will say anything to achieve their goals.

"You know, this old geezer has already made the imperial robe, and he's still doing things like colluding with the enemy."

"If he really became emperor, how long would he stay on that chair?"

"These old codgers are out of their minds, I think. I can understand your infighting, but if you can successfully rebel, that's your own skill."

Historically, there have been instances where... the victors are kings and the losers are villains, and rebellions have succeeded.

But if this allows the enemy country to harm its key generals guarding the border, who will defend the country afterward? Isn't that just insane?

"Hey, hey, there's also this, it's for the War God Prince Qi Lu of the Western Liang Kingdom and King Wu of Zhou, Qi Han."

Mo Zhentian, the regent of the Cangmo Kingdom, wrote the most letters to Yelü Da of the Xiongnu.

Then there's this ledger, which contains tributes from various prefectures to the Duke of Wu.

Dongfang Jin sat cross-legged on a box, looking at the letters.

It's not a big deal if you don't look, but once you do, you'll be shocked. This network of relationships is quite extensive, covering almost the entire Eastern Lin Kingdom, and those involved all wield real power.

This Emperor Shengde is in danger!

No wonder Zheng Sihan is so bold and reckless, so fearless.

The more I look, the angrier I get...

In his correspondence with these people, Duke Zheng Sihan of Wuguo said that he promised to cede the five neighboring cities of Feiying Pass once he took the throne.

Five cities in Longhu Pass in Xizhou were ceded to the Xiongnu, and three cities in Yanmen Pass in Beizhou were ceded to the Cangmo Kingdom.

How much land would that require?

That's how that old bastard managed to slip it out with just a touch of his lips?

What about the common people? Should they be allowed to be bullied and humiliated by those people at will?

Damn it! I can't stand it!

"This traitor wants to just give away the land that Helian Jun conquered with piles of corpses?"

That old bastard, his mother... Ruyi, I can't stand it anymore.

I realized I didn't take enough last night; I probably didn't even leave them a door frame.

Ruyi patted her shoulder: "Calm down, we've wiped out his entire fortune, how long do you think he can keep this up?"

Dongfang Jin felt aggrieved, having dealt with soldiers since childhood and knowing all too well the hardships and sacrifices made by that generation during that period.

She absolutely could not tolerate traitors: "I don't care, how about we go again tonight? Otherwise, I can't vent this anger, it's unsatisfying! I feel so frustrated!"

She was truly frustrated; she couldn't vent her anger, and she was afraid she would suffocate from it.

Ruyi also noticed the change in her aura. If this nameless fire couldn't be released, it would hinder her cultivation in the future.

That won't do; no one can stop it from growing.

"Okay, but don't call Long Er. Just go by yourself, and I'll use the teleportation array for you."

Dongfang Jin looked shocked: "You have this treasure here?"

"Hehe, I just found out. I don't know the specific reason."

"Jin-jie, haven't you noticed that our land has gotten a lot bigger?"

She absolutely refused to reveal the reason, as it would raise suspicion of exposure. This master was lazy, and it wouldn't be good if she went on strike because of this.

Dongfang Jin stood up, looked around the box, and found nothing unusual: "Is there anything?"

"Yes, although it's only three inches, it's still a full circle."

Dongfang Jin: "..." Three inches?

How much is that?

"It's yours... about the size of my palm."

Dongfang Jin stared at its tiny hand, speechless. That's all? It's like an egg tart.

"Where is your teleportation array? What kind is it?"

"Hey, this little colorful ball?"

Dongfang Jin held the marble-sized, colored glass ball in its hand: "Are you sure this is a teleportation array?"

She has a metal box containing this item at her maternal grandmother's house. It was something she and Su Jinyan and a few others played with when they were children.

"Of course, before you crush it, just think of the place you want to go, and it will teleport you there."

What a good thing!

"How much do you have? And what about when I get there and come back?"

"Hey, this Qiankun bag is full of them. You can use it when you come back, or you can use the Ruyi Blanket."

Dongfang Jin took the small Qiankun bag from her hand; this one was much more exquisite than the one used to store seeds.

"This Xingfa Grain Store is owned by the secret service of Duke Wu. I think we should take it all down."

And I think he should rob all the people on this list.

"The New Year is almost here, so let's make sure that those families who can't afford to eat have a good New Year."

Anyway, they won't starve; even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

“Jin’er, according to what you said, these teleportation arrays may not be enough.”

"What if... I mean, what if, you don't want to keep it as a backup?"

"Ruyi, your master knows what he's doing. We'll send what we robbed tonight to the border. I'm afraid what Gu Chenglin brought won't be enough."

After that, every night we would go and steal things, and then send them out as soon as we finished.

"But we don't have enough pockets, do we?"

"Ruyi, can you be even more confused than me? There must be some near the grain store that sells it. Why don't we just leave some money at his store?"

"Look, this money will come in handy. Perfect for bringing Gu Chenglin back."

Ruyi teased, "Missing your man?"

"I guess so, but mainly because there's no warm blanket anymore, and the blankets are cold."

"You don't shy away from it at all."

"Why should we be so taboo about things when we're from the same realm?"

Ruyi took out another slip of paper: "Look, this old Bi Deng Zheng Sihan is actually the one who stole the grain. Look, look, Yongzhou, good, very good."

Holding the notebook, Dongfang Jin pointed to Yongzhou and said, "The governor of Yongzhou, Cao Baishun, is the elder brother of one of Zheng Sihan's concubines. Tell me, is he rich or not?"

Ruyi took the paper and shook it: "Let's go, let's start by targeting him. Since he discovered the iron ore, there must be a foundry nearby."

"They might find something else, and then we'll wipe them all out."

“I think so too. Yongzhou is far from the capital and it’s not easy for people to find it.”

"Shall we go?"

"Let's go, I'll go out first."

"No need. By using the Realm of Wishes, the target will be more accurate."

"Can this still happen?"

"Don't forget where you are, and what this space is called."

"Let's go."

As Dongfang Jin spoke, she crushed the colorful ball in her hand. She didn't hear any sound, but she felt a wave of dizziness.

The next second, she was standing in an empty courtyard.

A sudden chill swept over him, and Dongfang Jin immediately flashed into the space.

"Goodness, it's really cold here."

Ruyi smiled a little embarrassedly: "I forgot to tell you, the message got out outside."

"That's alright, it's just that it's too cold and windy here."

Although it was only for a moment, I still felt the biting cold wind.

She could clearly see a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the wind was swirling and howling.

Thinking that we weren't far from the border, I wondered: "How many of those coats do we have now?"

Ruyi pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction: "There are currently 30,000 pieces."

Dongfang Jin frowned: "It's still not enough. However, since Yongzhou is so cold, there must be plenty of things to keep warm in the Yongzhou prefectural government."

However, she narrowed her eyes and chuckled sinisterly, "Haha, Cao Baishun, today I'll make sure you get away with it all."

Ruyi followed her example and laughed, "That's a good idea."
