Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1216: Chapter 407: Filial Piety Cannot Surpass the Mu Family, Benevolence Cannot Surpass Xia Hong, Moao South Slope Dominator_5

After she finished talking, she paused slightly and then sighed before continuing, ”This is the reason I just mentioned that Xia Hong might become a severe threat to Chen Cang. Caiqiu Feudal Town has always been obsessed with Moao Mountain. Its main territorial expansion direction has always been northeast, completely ignoring the Blood Miasma Plain to the south for decades. Suddenly it wants to cooperate with Chen Cang and proposes to jointly clear the Blood Miasma Plain. What do you think is the reason?”

Chen Yiqing and the other six people’s expressions changed instantly.

As fellow feudal towns, they know Cai Qiu far better than the Nine Towns.

The Blood Miasma Plain is not a joking matter. Cai Qiu’s attitude of ignoring it for decades and expanding in other directions was normal.

Suddenly turning their attention to the Blood Miasma Plain and suggesting a collaboration with Chen Cang clearly indicates blockades in other directions, and they have thoughts of expanding south.

”The matter of cooperating with Cai Qiu is yet undecided, and I’m not sure, but I can ensure that now it’s not just Chen Cang eyeing the Nine Towns, Cai Qiu is at least one of them among possibly others...”

Chu Yan’er paused again and continued in a slightly deep voice, ”You all know what kind of place the Blood Miasma Plain is. Even if two feudal towns team up, it’s not a matter of a day to clear it. The key is that Great Xia is developing at an exceptionally fast pace.

Before Great Xia had moved beyond the North Bank of Xing River, it had already swallowed Bashang City by leveraging the Dajue Temple affair, subdued Xiang Fuhai, and wooed Jiangxia and Muyin. By the time of the Hongmen Banquet, three of the Nine Towns were gone;

The opening of Hongmen in July was clearly a move by Great Xia to cut the supply to the Eight Towns. In just over two months since the opening, you must have seen it during Xia Hong’s standoff with the Six Towns lords, almost all the people in the village-level camp in the Eight Towns were hoping for Great Xia to win;

Today’s confrontation is basically the last chance for the Six Towns to deal with Great Xia together. Unfortunately, it still failed. Yang Zhun has some skills but only controlled Chui Mountain Town; the other four towns have different agendas. It’s impossible to form today’s kind of alliance again.

In other words, Great Xia is already the undisputed South Ridge Dominator.

And they have been out on the North Bank of the Heng River for less than five months!”

Chen Yiqing nodded, his expression already extremely serious, and solemnly responded, ”I have stayed in Hongmen City for a long time, and combined with the situation I have found out, the information revealed from Yang Ning’s mouth at the beginning of the month can basically be confirmed. The development from a small camp to today for Great Xia is indeed less than ten years, or about ten years at most. Although Great Xia’s calendar date and month have been synchronized with the Moao Calendar, both being September 18, the year is still the eighth year of Da Xia.”

From a small camp, it has only taken ten years to develop to where it is now...

What kind of development speed is this?

As soon as Chen Yiqing finished speaking, not to mention the four middle-aged men like Chen Yimou, even the young Chen Yu and Chen Huang, their pupils suddenly contracted, their faces full of shock.

”It still takes time to clear the Blood Miasma Plain. We absolutely must not sit by and let Great Xia continue to develop stably. We must try our best to disrupt the stable development pace of Great Xia. Trying to orchestrate a second union of the Six Towns is hardly possible anymore, so let’s keep deteriorating the relations between the Six Towns and Great Xia. At the very least, ensure this before clearing the Blood Miasma Plain.”

”Thank you, Little Princess, for the reminder, Chen understands!”

Chen Yiqing understood the hint, immediately bowed and nodded heavily.

”Xia Hong wants to unite the Six Towns to find out the truth about the Three Towns Chamber of Commerce deaths. Uncle Chen, are you sure they can’t find out?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiqing was momentarily stunned, then confidently said, ”The Little Princess can rest assured. Although my strength is indeed inferior to Lord Xia Hong, he can’t possibly find out about me from just a few corpses!”

Chu Yan’er’s expression slightly tensed but thinking of Chen Yiqing’s abilities, her brow eventually relaxed, and she smiled, ”True, I’ve heard of Uncle Chen’s skills too, no matter how strong Xia Hong is, it won’t matter.”

”Then I wish Uncle Chen all the best going forward!”

”Little Commandery Princess, are you leaving?”

”It’s hard to get out of Chen Cang and look around outside, naturally, I don’t want to waste the opportunity. I’m very interested in Great Xia, and it’s just right to visit as an Outer Realm person; it should be fine!”

Visiting Great Xia directly as an Outer Realm person?

Chen Yiqing pondered for a moment, looked at his younger brother Chen Yimou and the others, and immediately nodded, then instructed, ”Then, I also wish the Little Princess a smooth journey. I still have some matters to handle and must remain in Hongmen. Chen and the other four must ensure the safety of the Little Princess. If there’s any emergency, you can contact me.”

”Understood, Brother!”

Chen Yimou immediately bowed and nodded in agreement. He, along with He Yang, Chu Dongning, and Zhu Dong, were originally on this trip to protect Chu Yan’er.

”Yu’er, Huang’er, you must also protect the Little Princess.”

”Got it, Dad, we will never let anyone harm the Little Princess.”

”Even if we have to risk our lives, we will protect the Little Princess.”

Seeing the two sons eager to show off in front of Chu Yan’er, Chen Yiqing couldn’t help but internally shake his head repeatedly.

He’s been around long enough to see through their affection for Chu Yan’er.

With Chu Yan’er’s family background, if it were possible, he would certainly be happy to see it happen.

The problem is, with his experience, he can see at a glance that Chu Yan’er isn’t interested in either of his sons.

”Maybe in time, something might happen. If one of you really brings a Princess home as a wife, it would be a blessing for a lifetime!”

......

”Dad, you’re amazing, you’re amazing, you just chased away that Yang Zhun from Beishuo with a punch!”

In the side hall on the top floor of the Hongmen Government Building, Xia Hong had just walked in when he was greeted by his excitable little son, Xia Yusheng, who slammed into his arms.

Xia Yusheng was not only excited but also highly emotional. Even while being held in his arms, he was still gesturing, repeating the moves of defeating Yang Zhun just now in the sky.

”Dad, your back is bleeding, does it hurt, does it hurt?”

The usually lively Xia Yuyao was much calmer at this moment. She directly walked behind Xia Hong, reached out to touch his back wound, and upon seeing how deep it was, tears immediately started flowing.

”Ah Yao will blow on it to make it not hurt, boo hoo hoo hoo......”

The eldest daughter’s compassion clearly outshined the others.

”You rascal, all you care about is how strong I am in a fight!”

Xia Hong playfully patted his son’s bottom, hurriedly turning to embrace his crying eldest daughter.

”Ah Yao, don’t cry, Dad doesn’t hurt! Let’s have your mother bandage it up, it’ll be fine soon. No crying, okay? If you cry, Dad will feel bad, and when I feel bad the wound bleeds more and heals slower.”

Upon hearing this, his eldest daughter Xia Yuyao immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, her big, watery eyes fixed nervously on Xia Hong, as if genuinely worried he might feel bad.

”Hahaha!”

Seeing his daughter’s adorable expression, Xia Hong couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
