Chapter 741
Since the emperor said so, Princess Furong had no choice but to keep it. After all, it would cost a lot of money to rebuild in the future.

In order to claim credit, those Zhou generals who occupied the city specially used all the gold, silver and jewelry they had robbed to honor Zhou Lifeng.

They never expected that these gold and silver jewelry would be sent to honor Lu Hao.

When Zhou Lifeng received the news that five carts of gold, silver, jewelry, and food and grass had been robbed, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Five carts of gold, silver and jewelry!Just thinking about it makes me feel bad!
In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Lifeng's roaring at the top of his lungs could be heard.

"Lu Hao, I will skin you, cramp you, and cut you into pieces!"

Now Prince Feng hates Lu Hao deeply.

I saw him striding towards Wei Hua angrily, raising his leg and kicking him, and the latter flew out in response.

"Wei Hua, you idiot, if you didn't come to Jidong City, how could Lu Hao have the chance to steal our food and grass?"

Zhou Lifeng roared sternly.

"Your Majesty, how could Lu Hao know the location of the logistics troops? I thought there must be a spy within us."

Wei Hua quickly made random excuses.

"Spies? You said there are spies in my army? You are a fool who is deceiving others with your lies. Do you want to die?"

Zhou Lifeng shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down..."

General Shi quickly advised.

"Get out! Wei Hua, get out of here! The further away the better!"

Zhou Lifeng was furious.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Wei Hua felt aggrieved and hurriedly crawled out.

"Your Majesty, what Wei Hua said is not impossible. Not many people know about the news that the logistics troops are about to arrive. How did Lu Hao know about it?"

General Shi asked.

"You...you mean, are we really a bit of traitors internally?"

Zhou Lifeng's eyes shrank for a while, and murderous intent emerged.

"Although I don't know how Lu Hao knew this news, we have to be on guard. After all, the Chinese Empire has sent many secret spies to sneak into our Western Region to collect intelligence."

General Shi said in a deep voice.

"If there is a traitor, who do you think it will be?"

Zhou Lifeng asked.

"The general is fine for marching and fighting, but not for catching secret spies."

General Shi looked bitter.

"Wei Hua, get out of here."

Zhou Lifeng roared angrily.

"Here we come, my lord."

Wei Hua ran in with all his might.

"Go and investigate right away. Check to the end to see if there are any secret spies from the Chinese Empire?"

Zhou Lifeng has been seriously led astray.

"As ordered!"

Wei Hua cheered up and responded loudly.

Soon, he began to arrest internally on a large scale, claiming to be investigating secret spies of the Chinese Empire, but in fact he wanted to be rewarded for meritorious service, or to alleviate his own crimes.

Many generals were arrested, which immediately caused panic among the entire army.

"General Shi, our reinforcements will be arriving soon. How do you think we should capture Jindu City?"

Zhou Lifeng's face was gloomy and he asked coldly.

"Lu Hao is full of tricks. We are plotted by him every time. Obviously he knows our situation well. If we can't solve this problem, we will still be passive."

General Shi pondered.

"I also find it very strange. Why does Lu Hao know so much about our situation? Knowing that we are going to poison him, he will lure us into a trap and even poison us?"

Zhou Lifeng was also puzzled.

"Seriously, Lu Hao is a master-level expert. Did he overhear our conversation?" General Shi looked around, as if he was really worried about being overheard by Lu Hao.

"The master-level master is indeed a troublesome problem. However, I have contacted the master-level master to deal with him. As long as he is killed, it will be much easier to attack the city."

Zhou Lifeng did not hide anything from General Shi.

"Your Majesty is so smart that I will always admire you."

General Shi was surprised.

"Hehehe... Emperor Yongtai, just wait and die!"

Zhou Lifeng thought he had a winning chance.

"Your Majesty, the problem now is that our military supplies are lost. If the army arrives, we may not be able to hold on for long."

General Shi said with a frown.

"How about this? Let's collect food from Jidong City, and send people to the surrounding cities to collect some food. See if we can hold on until the killer hired by this king arrives?"

Zhou Lifeng frowned and gave the order.

"People from surrounding towns and villages have long since fled. It would be difficult to grab food now!"

General Shi looked depressed.

"If this is the case, then don't waste time. Let's think of other ways. How long can we last with the food we have now?"

Zhou Lifeng asked in a deep voice.

"If there are only 5000 people, we can still hold on for a week. If there are 5 people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on for two days."

General Shi answered truthfully.

"The [-]-strong army should be carrying part of the food supply. It is estimated that it will not be a problem to hold on for four or five days. As long as Jindu City is captured, so much food and gold, silver and jewelry will be ours."

Zhou Lifeng was still thinking about those gold and silver jewelry and wanted to get back what belonged to him as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, if there is really no food by then, we can go south to rob the Yue Kingdom. We will eventually receive news that the Yue Kingdom has a batch of food stored in Jizhou City."

General Shi whispered.

"Jizhou City?"

Zhou Lifeng walked to the map and took a look at it, and said happily: "Well, this city is not far from us. You should take people to grab the food right away."

"Your Majesty, they have 5000 troops stationed here now. How can we rob them with only [-] people?"

General Shi looked bitter.

"What? Twenty thousand troops? Then... forget it then."

Zhou Lifeng was also shocked.

The city they were discussing was just south of Jidong City. It was also where General Fu and General Li were retreating. Naturally, there was food and fodder for a [-]-strong army.

If the 5000-strong army of the Zhou Dynasty arrived, they could attack the city. Otherwise, if [-] people went over, they would be humiliating themselves. Why bother?

"My lord, it's not good! It's not good!"

Wei Hua hurried in.

Snapped!
Zhou Lifeng raised his hand and slapped Wei Hua on the cheek, and shouted in a cold voice: "Why are you panicking?"

"My lord, something big has happened! Something really big has happened!"

Wei Hua covered her cheeks, feeling so wronged.

"What happened?"

Zhou Lifeng's face darkened.

"Just now, my subordinates received news that the Chinese Empire issued a statement to the outside world, saying that Shu and Jin had been merged into the Chinese Empire, and ordered the troops that invaded the two countries to withdraw from the two countries' territories, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war on the Chinese Empire!"

Wei Hua quickly reported the news.

"What? Incorporate into the Chinese Empire? Why?"

Zhou Lifeng shouted coldly.

"It is said that Princess Furong of Shu and Princess Heshuo of Jin represented the two countries and requested to join the Chinese Empire. Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire agreed on the spot."

Wei Hua quickly explained.

"So what if I agree? I don't agree!"

Zhou Lifeng shouted with a dark face.
