Chapter 52 Analyzing the Situation

Chapter 52 Analyzing the Situation

Old Madam Cheng dipped her index finger into the water in the cup and drew on the table.

"Over the years, Dayin first conquered Dongxun, and then made Muyuan submit to it and become a vassal state."

"But without the Cheng family, if Dayin confronts Southern Xinjiang again, it may seem like there is nothing to worry about, but in fact, Muyuan and Dongxun have their own agenda."

Old Madam Cheng paused, took out a few letters from the cabinet, opened them, and placed them in front of the people.

"These days, I also asked the Chen family to find some books from Dongxun Country and roughly translated these letters."

"The Queen is actually a spy from the Dongxun Kingdom!"

"What?!"

Several people exclaimed.

"Then the prince is not..."

Old Madam Cheng pointed to one of the letters again.

"It also mentioned that Dongxun secretly colluded with Nanjiang."

When they heard the word "Southern Xinjiang", they gritted their teeth and wished they could bite it into pieces.

Wang raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Dayin is now a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Southern Xinjiang has always been a thief, and will definitely not let go of this opportunity. If it joins forces with Dongxun, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future."

"No, Nanjiang dare not act rashly for the time being."

Cheng Qiuruo shook her head and continued slowly.

"Although Nanjiang won that battle by dishonorable means."

When she talked about this, her tone became heavy and she choked a little, but it was soon covered by hatred.

"The price we paid was not small. We injured 800 enemies and lost 1,000 of our own."

"Plus, there are 300,000 Cheng family troops stationed in the southern border camp. They dare not send troops in the short term."

"As for Dongxun..."

Cheng Qiuluo narrowed his eyes slightly and took over the conversation.

"I think that, compared to Dayin, their first step is to take over Southern Xinjiang!"

"Even if Nanjiang can't guess their intentions, they won't trust Dongxun too much, so they are even more nervous and dare not act rashly."

Hearing this, Old Madam Cheng nodded secretly and looked at her two granddaughters with satisfaction.

The children of the Cheng family are all great!

Sisters Cheng Qiuruo and Cheng Qiuluo looked at each other and said in unison.

"So, the first one to lose his patience will be Xiyue!"

"It's Xiyue!"

Madam Cheng raised her hand and pressed down.

"Okay, let's not worry about that for now. We need to focus on doing our own things."

"What plans does Grandma have?"

The two sisters looked at her expectantly.

Old Madam Cheng patted the booklet beside her gently and smiled mysteriously.

"Go cut the wool first and wash it. In the next two days, make the wool yarn according to the book."

Cheng Qiuruo's eyes lit up.

"What does Grandmother mean?"

Madam Cheng smiled faintly and nodded.

"Although the Chen family can provide us with shelter now, we should also seize the time to accumulate more capital for the future."

"Yes! Let's go now!"

The two sisters responded in a crisp voice.

Just as he was about to go out, the Meng mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had gone up the mountain to collect herbs came back.

"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law met a few hunters in the mountains. Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from Muyuan Country."

Cheng Qiuluo frowned slightly.

"Hunter from Muyuan Country?"

"How did they get here?"

"Apart from crossing the snowy mountains, is there any other way to reach Muyuan?!"

Madam Cheng's eyes flickered as she looked towards Meng.

"Have they discovered you?"

Meng shook her head.

"No, I just saw from a distance that my daughter-in-law has sent Cheng Feng to follow secretly."

"Yeah, good, you did the right thing."

Afterwards, Madam Cheng lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about. The others quietly retreated and stopped disturbing her.

At night, the Cheng family ate roasted lamb legs sprinkled with seasonings donated by Anluo. The whole yard was filled with fragrance, not to mention that Anluo also sent them a lot of fruits.

Take a bite of the greasy roasted lamb leg, and then have a bite of juicy fruit to relieve the greasiness.

Yu An held the barbecue in one hand and the fruit in the other, eating one bite after another. It was so delicious! It

was so beautiful that I could barely stand up.

Cheng Yu sprinkled seasoning on the lamb legs and sighed as he looked at the white salt in the jar.

"It's obviously all salt, but the salt we eat every day has large grains, is yellowish, and has a bitter taste. It's far worse than this."

Cheng Lei next to him joined in.

"Can it be the same?"

This is the salt that immortals eat!

Old Madam Cheng walked over, looked at the salt jar carefully, picked up a little bit and put it in her mouth. After tasting it carefully, her eyes lit up.

"I don't know how this salt is made."

When Anlu heard this, he turned around and said a few words to Zizi.

Although Yu'an didn't quite understand what was said, the little guy had a good memory and that didn't stop him from repeating it word by word.

Just like that, in the yard filled with the aroma of roasted lamb legs, the tender voices of children echoed.

"Add coarse salt to water, boil it, and melt it... filter it with a clean cloth, and boil the filtered salt water dry..."

"It's so simple! I'll try it now!"

Cheng Qiuruo stood up from the stool and ran quickly to the kitchen.

"Old lady!"

At this time, Cheng Feng came back, his voice was hoarse from running.

He took a large bowl of water from Cheng Yu and drank two full bowls of water before he recovered.

"Madam, I have been following those hunters. There is indeed a secret path in the mountains leading to the territory of Muyuan!"

"It's just that the road is very narrow and the mountain road is rugged. It looks like it can only accommodate two or three people at a time."

Madam Cheng nodded, thinking to herself.

If this is the case, the plan can proceed more smoothly.

Then she looked at Cheng Feng.

"You've been tired all day, sit down and eat."

"yes."

…

The third day after receiving the booklet.

In the small courtyard, Cheng Qiuluo's wailing sounds could be heard from time to time.

"Ah, I made a mistake again!"

"This is too difficult!"

Inside the house, Wang took her eyes off the sweater in her hands, took the time to look at her younger daughter, and exchanged glances with her eldest daughter. Both mother and daughter shook their heads helplessly.

"Luoluo, you'd better stop weaving."

Cheng Qiuruo suggested.

"Otherwise, you can go and spin some wool."

Cheng Qiuluo was gnashing his teeth as he unraveled the wrong parts of the weaving.

"The wool from the two sheep has been rubbed out, and there is no more wool to rub."

Cheng Qiuruo opened the booklet.

"Look at this. Don't knit a sweater or something difficult. How about knitting a scarf?"

Cheng Qiuluo held up the weaving she had made and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Thank you for your advice. I'm knitting a scarf."

Cheng Qiuruo: "…"

Okay, I'll just smile and keep silent.

Cheng Qiuluo sighed.

"Forget it, I'll go and teach Yu An how to practice swordplay."

Not seeing the little guy in the yard, she went straight to Yu An's door.

"Yuan, have you trained today?"

Suddenly, her nose moved, and she stretched her neck to sniff around. Finally, she moved close to the crack in the door, then immediately covered her nose and dodged.

"Why does it stink so bad?"

She quickly opened the door.

"Yuan, did you poop..." in your pants?

The next moment, seeing the yellow unknown object near the guy's mouth, her expression changed suddenly and she rushed over quickly.

"Why do you eat everything, kid?!"
