Kyoto is trapped, and Shen Lin, also known as Feng Shisi, is helpless. Now she can only hold on to the death.
Originally, Feng Shisi thought that she could control the world, and in that case Feng Shisan would have to be at her mercy. However, things are unpredictable, and she eventually lost to these natives.
"Have the young master's men arrived?"
Feng Shisi frowned and asked the senior palace maid who was serving her.
The head maid raised her head slightly and replied in a deep voice, "To answer the Empress Dowager, all the princes and powerful factions have arrived, but I heard that the young master's troops have not moved. I guess he doesn't have confidence in his own strength, right?"
Feng Shisi didn't take the head maid's words to heart at all. She sneered and then murmured, "She's quite patient!"
Seeing that Feng Shisi was not affected by her at all, the senior palace maid wisely stopped talking and just fanned herself.
Feng Shisi frowned, and the head maid couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, do we want to..."
Feng Shisi said slowly, "We don't need to do anything. All we have to do now is wait."
Although Feng Shisi couldn't do anything now, she was not worried about her own safety at all.
In her opinion, it was not she who was in danger when all the big and small forces gathered in Kyoto. The slightly weaker forces would definitely be swallowed up by the powerful feudal lords, and then they would fight each other until the final winner emerged.
Then would be the right time for her to take action. Now she just needed to defend the capital safely.
Sure enough, the war was going on outside the capital, and Feng Shisi stayed safely in the city to watch the show.
Ling Xue did not participate in this melee, but her territory was also expanding silently. This was much better than fighting for the territory in the capital.
Her actions could be considered as surrounding the central government with the localities. Young Master Shen had a good reputation, and some places were taken down without any soldiers. The people in those places had been looking forward to their arrival.
Ling Xue had never thought of this situation. How could you fight for territory like this?
Ling Xue's farming business was in full swing. Basically, wherever the territory expanded, the land was planted there, and there was no obstruction at all.
Not only did it not encounter any obstacles, but it was very popular.
Many nearby areas that have not yet been occupied by Ling Xue are also very tempted by Ling Xue's farming career. They even secretly sent people to contact Ling Xue, wanting to welcome her over. They also want to plant new and improved varieties as soon as possible.
The weather is dry now, and only Young Master Shen’s new varieties can yield some harvest. How can they not look forward to Young Master Shen coming over?
Shen Zhen brought a few officials to find Ling Xue. From their hurried pace, it was obvious that they were very anxious.
Ling Xue's assistant came over to report: "Young Master, Master Shen Zhen is here with his men."
These people didn't address Shen Zhen as someone else would, simply calling him by his surname and then adding the word "Sir." That is, "Sir So-and-so." Because there were so many people with the surname Shen, the female officials assisting Ling Xue addressed them by their given names and then added the word "Sir." So when Shen Zhen came, they all addressed him as "Sir Shen Zhen," thus avoiding confusion.
"What's going on?" Ling Xue asked directly when she saw how anxious they were.
Shen Zhen didn't rush to reply. Lord Hu, who was in charge of farming, spoke first, panting: "Young Master, it hasn't rained for a long time, and the temperature is so high. Our crops can't hold on!"
