The idea of ​​moving

The person who learned of Feng Chengqian's defeat and death the fastest was, of course, Feng Chengdao, who had been waiting nearby for this "good news."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You have to admit, you really have to admit, my big brother still had some backbone, hahaha!"

Feng Chengdao laughed while exclaiming, then immediately issued an order: "Come here, send someone to inform my father of this tragic news via express courier, and prepare a mourning hall. I will mourn for him."

It must be said that if Feng Chengdao were in later generations, he would at least be an actor of award-winning caliber.

In the hastily prepared mourning hall, Feng Chengdao wept so bitterly that it seemed heart-wrenching.

Those who didn't know better would have thought their brotherhood was deeply affectionate; only one person watched with cold eyes.

This was a dark-skinned, lean, and capable middle-aged man, none other than Yao Jie, the provincial inspector of Shao Prefecture under Feng Pu.

He knew best what had happened; Tan Xiang's army was only over twenty li away from where Feng Chengdao was killed.

At such a close distance, yet Tan Xiang had no intention of sending troops to support him from the beginning to the end.

After learning this news, Yao Jie immediately understood Feng Chengdao's intentions.

"Borrowing a knife to kill, brothers fighting amongst themselves... Heh, what hope is left for the Nanyue Kingdom? This old man should also consider his own future."

Watching Feng Chengdao's brilliant performance in the mourning hall, the last shred of hope Yao Jie held for the Nanyue Kingdom was shattered.

Having performed enough in Shao Prefecture, Feng Chengdao finally led his six thousand troops back to Guangzhou.

After returning this time, he was no longer just the Third Prince, but His Highness the Crown Prince.

Although his old man had not yet issued an edict to confer the title, as the only remaining legitimate son, he was the only candidate.

He did not remain idle on the journey, searching for beauties in every place he passed.

As the undisputed heir-apparent to the Nanyue Kingdom and the future king, countless officials and wealthy families wanted to curry favor with him.

It was truly: "With high spirits, the horse gallops fast; along the way, I have seen all the flowers of South of the Ranges."

On the other side, Xue Linfeng, having finished cleaning up the battlefield, was not in a hurry to order the march to continue.

After several days of high-intensity marching and fighting, the soldiers were already somewhat exhausted.

To ensure better combat effectiveness in the future, he decided to stop and rest.

Incidentally, this would also allow the soldiers of the Lingnan Corps to conduct rotating battles and absorb the surrendered troops.

In annihilating Feng Chengdao, the entire army captured over fourteen thousand prisoners, and after screening, more than five thousand remained.

After consulting with Gao Yuan, Xue Linfeng dispersed and integrated this group into the Diannan Corps, expanding the Diannan Corps into three divisions with twenty-five thousand men.

Upon receiving this reply, Xue Linfeng was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood.

Ma Song was also very puzzled at first as to why Gao Yuan would expand the Diannan Corps instead of the Lingnan Circuit, which was about to expand its territory.

Seeing Xue Linfeng suddenly smile, he immediately leaned in: "Lin Feng, Brother Xue, Commander Xue, what are you laughing at? Did you see something?"

Xue Linfeng shook his head.

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed. Anyway, just rest assured, your Lingnan Circuit will not lack soldiers."

Just as Xue Linfeng had anticipated, Gao Yuan had indeed begun planning to move.

Guchang County was indeed picturesque and had a pleasant climate, but it was simply too remote.

The most suitable capital location in his mind had always been Chengdu or Guangzhou, which would be first-class major cities in the future.

Guangzhou and Chengdu were major grain-producing areas with dense populations and huge development potential.

Historically, they had served as capitals for many dynasties.

After spending quite some time, Gao Yuan had already persuaded Zhao Xiyao and the others.

Now everything was ready, waiting only for Xue Linfeng and his men to capture Guangzhou.

Since Gao Yuan wanted to "move the capital," the Central Corps would inevitably have to leave Southern Yunnan.

The Diannan Circuit shouldered the task of resisting Western Kang and the Jiannan Circuit, so its original scale was clearly insufficient.

Therefore, Gao Yuan not only incorporated the Region area into the Lingnan Circuit but also expanded the Diannan Corps by one division.

Xue Linfeng had realized this point, which was why he felt happy.

In Guchang County, besides the Grand Princesss Residence preparing to move, the Mu, Zheng, Song, Yang, and Xian families also began their preparations.

Xian Ying was clearly excited that Gao Yuan had not left her behind; she was radiant all day long, and even looked more vibrant.

The news of the Yang Family and Xian Family naturally could not be hidden from the four women in the house, and Mu Qing was clearly the one with the biggest reaction. After dinner, as soon as Gao Yuan left, she complained to her three sisters.

"I knew Husband had taken a fancy to those two vixens. He wants to take them wherever he goes. Sisters, you must keep him in check, otherwise, there won't be enough rooms in the house in the future."

Zheng Wan also nodded quite seriously.

"It really should be managed. Wu Xu hasn't even officially entered the family yet, and he is already attracting bees and butterflies outside. This won't do."

Song Yao, however, seemed a bit disappointed.

"It's all my fault. If only I could bear a son for Husband..."

As the head wife, Zhao Xiyao was a bit jealous of Gao Yuan's behavior in attracting these women, but she also displayed the demeanor befitting a head wife.

"The Gao Family is now left with only Husband's lineage, and with everyone relying on him now, it would inevitably lead to instability if there were no heirs."

As she spoke, she unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

"Wu Xu is still in the Zhongnan Circuit, and Yang Xin is still young. I think after we move, we should first bring Xian Ying into the residence."

Mu Qing widened her eyes, unable to believe her best friend would say such a thing.

"Zhao Xiyaos informal address, you want to bring that vixen into the house? She has already been married..."

However, she immediately shut her mouth because she realized that Zheng Wan and Song Yao were his former sisters-in-law, and she hurriedly waved her hand to explain.

"Sister Zheng, Sister Song, I didn't mean that, I just..."

Zheng Wan smiled charmingly and shook her head gently.

"All right, all right, we know you didn't mean that."

Song Yao looked at Zhao Xiyao with her lively big eyes and blinked twice.

"Sister, you probably aren't willing to bring Xian Ying into the residence just because of the issue of heirs, right?"

Seeing that Song Yao had already guessed her thoughts, Zhao Xiyao did not hide it and nodded slightly.

"Although the main branch of the Xian Family was wiped out by Feng Pu, the foundation of the Xian Family in the Guangzhou area still remains, and many people still have some lingering sentiments for the Xian Family."

"Although Husband has never really cared for the Powerful Families families, one still has to rely on these Powerful Families families to quickly control the situation in a region. I think Husband will surely understand."

Although Mu Qing was very concerned that her Husband's love would be divided, she was not an unreasonable woman. Hearing that there were various benefits to letting Gao Yuan take Xian Ying, she said nothing more.

Although the premise of everything was waiting to move to Guangzhou, many things could be done in advance. The next morning, Zhao Xiyao prepared a box of gifts and went to the Xian Family.

Hearing that Zhao Xiyao had come, Xian Ying was clearly a bit nervous. She was afraid that the head wife had come to settle scores.

She wanted to go out to greet her, but after looking at her clothes, she decided to change into another outfit.

Zhao Xiyao sat in the main hall drinking tea for a while before she saw Xian Ying, who had changed into a new dress, walk in cautiously and bow to Zhao Xiyao, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Greetings, Grand Princess."

Unlike before, when she exuded a charming aura all over, today's Xian Ying looked much more dignified, although the charm in her bones could not be covered up.

However, Zhao Xiyao was already very satisfied. That this woman could be like this showed that she cared a lot about her opinion.

"Sister, please rise. Sit down and let's talk!"

Hearing this form of address, Xian Ying was clearly stunned for a moment, and a guess formed in her heart.
