Since the peaceful reunification of Beizhou, Licheng as the capital has also developed better and better, and Helian Shang's mind is not only focused on combat.
After occupying Licheng three years ago, he began to prepare to attract investment. The conditions he offered were very generous, which attracted many businessmen to venture to Licheng for development.
He Lianshang spent a lot of money to arrange bodyguards for every businessman who came in and out to protect him throughout the journey, and gave him a pass that allowed him to enter and exit most of Beizhou.
With such support, a large amount of money poured into Licheng three years ago, allowing this small town to develop into the largest and most prosperous city in Beizhou in just three years.
People who come here for the first time can't believe that a place that has been war-torn all year round can have such a prosperous city.
The tallest building in the city center belongs to the security army, and security soldiers can be seen coming in and out here.
Marshal Helianshang lives on the top floor of the tallest building. The security here is tight, from the ground to the air.
The entire building is a controlled area and you cannot enter or leave at will without a pass.
Passers-by walking around are accustomed to hearing the rumble of helicopters overhead, but everyone has a common understanding in their hearts.
That's where the god who ended the war in Beizhou lives, and the person they worship lives there, so no one will ever disturb his life.
A gray helicopter landed on the apron on the top floor. Lu Ye and Cheng Ming were the first to come down. When he saw the people waiting on both sides, he almost jumped up with joy.
"You kid had a lot of fun in Nanzhou." The people standing by looked at his excitement and said.
Lu Ye put his arm around his shoulders and pushed him down, "Of course, you don't even know who I am."
The leader stepped forward and gave a straight military salute to the people who got off the helicopter.
"Marshal, you have had a hard journey."
Helian Shang nodded and turned back, reaching out to help the person above him down.
Lingsu didn't look too good. After all, she had a big belly and traveled such a long distance. She was naturally tired from the bumpy and hard work.
The maid helped her go back to rest, and Helianshang started to deal with the work without stopping.
After leaving Beizhou for such a long time, there are so many jobs waiting in line. If he doesn't come back, the deputy commander here may have to rush to Nanzhou.
"Madam, would you like to eat something first and then rest?" the maid asked thoughtfully.
One floor down from the top floor is where Ling Su lives. After she became pregnant, she lived on the fifty-sixth floor, and the fifty-seventh floor was where Helian Shang lived.
Although the maid who was newly transferred to take care of her didn't quite understand why the couple wanted to separate, they wouldn't say a word about their master's affairs.
"No need, you all please step aside and I'll rest for a while." Lingsu said and entered the room.
The maid stepped forward and took off her shoes, and helped her get on the bed.
After warming her a glass of hot milk, the maid opened the door and walked out.
Lingsu looked out the window. The weather today was good. Beizhou was different from the Imperial Capital of Nanzhou. It was covered with snow, but it was still as hot as summer here.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples. She was about to close her eyes and rest, but then she felt a throbbing pain in her foot.
Since she became pregnant, her foot cramps have increased at night. After ringing the bedside bell, the servant standing guard outside the door hurried in.
While massaging her, the maid said, "Do you need to tell the marshal?"
Lingsu looked a little pale and shook his head, "No need, he has a lot of things to deal with just after he came back, so there is no need to disturb him for such a trivial matter."
The new maid had only taken care of her for a few days, and she felt sorry for her when she heard this. "How can this be possible? Madam, your body is so fragile now that you are pregnant. At this time, women need the most care from their husbands."
time."
She was raising children for her husband and the man she loved.
The maid on the side pulled the person back and motioned for her to shut up.
"Madam, just have a good rest. We will be watching outside. When you wake up, a doctor will come to check your body."
The maid said and led everyone out of the room. The people on the bed closed their eyes, but their ears could still hear clearly what they said outside.
"Sister Lili, did I say the wrong thing?" the maid who just spoke asked, pulling on the person who stopped her.
She had just started working here and didn't want to be fired within a few days.
"If you want to work well here, you have to remember, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say, especially the relationship between the marshal and his wife, do you understand?" Lili whispered.
The little maid nodded in understanding. Lili had been with the marshal and his wife for many years, so what she said was certainly correct.
But this also made her suspicions a lot clearer. I heard that the relationship between the current madam and the marshal is not very good.
We obviously live in the same building, but on different floors.
When the two of them went out, there was no sign of a husband-and-wife atmosphere. Instead, there were rumors that the person the marshal really liked was actually his wife's sister.
But she passed away too early, and it was only after her death that the marshal was heartbroken and ended up getting together with Lingsu.
Moreover, when she first came here, she clearly heard that the people around the marshal were called Madam Lingsu instead of Madam.
There is a custom of polygamy in Beizhou. Although many people have become monogamous in recent years, this custom has not completely disappeared.
In addition, everyone in Beizhou knew that the marshal had never held a wedding, so she implicitly accepted that Miss Lingsu was the marshal's little wife.
But isn't the young lady generally very pampered? Otherwise, why would she be able to come to the marshal's side?
But now it seems that is not the case.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Lili reminded her again, "No matter what you hear or know outside, you cannot reveal a word to let Madam know, otherwise you know what the consequences will be."
The little maid nodded fearfully. If she did something unnecessary and caused chaos, she would be sent out of Beizhou.
"Miss Lili, Mr. Luye is looking for you outside." The maid on the side called.
Lili went to the door and saw the person who brought fruits.
"This is the fruit that was just delivered. The marshal asked me to deliver it."
Lili looked at the rare and precious fruit on the plate, and then glanced at the closed door in the house.
These are not the tastes that the young lady likes. On the contrary, they are the tastes that that person likes.
"Take it, why are you stunned? I still have to do something." Lu Ye shouted.
Lili obediently carried the fruit plate into the house. When she was thinking about how to comfort the little lady, a voice came from inside.
"Bring it in, I just want something sweet."
The fruits in the fruit plate had been peeled and delivered to them. Lili came to Lingsu two years ago and was responsible for taking care of their diet and daily life.
After the death of the young military advisor, she only had to take care of Lingsu, so she knew the living habits and tastes of these two people very well.
So she always found it strange that if the marshal didn't love Miss Lingsu, he got her pregnant again and became the mother of his child.
But if we say he loves it, every time he sends something he doesn't seem to like Lingsu, and the little military counselor likes it more.
At this point, she was no longer able to judge the matter.
"You go out first, I will rest by myself after eating."
After listening to Lingsu's arrangement, she walked out of the room again.
When Lingsu was left alone, she tasted the peeled fruit pulp on the plate, and it tasted like chewing wax.
It's not her favorite taste, never has been.
"I would rather you didn't send me anything, so you don't have to remind me all the time." Lingsu suddenly said this.
The room was empty and no one responded to her. She put the fruit plate aside and lay on the bed staring at the crystal lamp above her head in a daze.
"What should we do next..."
…
On the top floor of the building, half of the area is Helianshang's private area, and half of the space is used for offices.
He will meet with some of his close friends here, and many big decisions affecting Beizhou are also made here.
This floor cannot be reached without an exclusive pass.
He returned safely, and of course his subordinates were very happy, not to mention that he also brought back a cooperation case with the Shuling Department.
The cooperation between the northern and southern states after many years is now the most noteworthy thing in the entire continent.
"Marshal, this is an application sent by the Shuling Department. They want us to open these places for them to train."
Cheng Ming reached out and handed over the document handed over by the general below.
In the near future, the spiritual beings sent by the Shuling Department to help will arrive in Beizhou. This time, Helian Shang and the Spirit Shuing Department are looking for spiritual beings with supernatural powers. Naturally, they will be of great use.
"Except for the southern region, everything else is open to them." Helian Shang said.
The general should come down, and the people below him should start discussing this matter.
Lu Ye on the side kept receiving instructions from the eyes of the people around him. After refusing several times, he was forced to step forward and bite the bullet and speak.
"Marshal, now that we have pacified Beizhou for such a long time, everyone wants to ask, will we be able to celebrate as a nation in a few days?"
Cheng Ming couldn't help but frown after hearing this. These two fools wouldn't open any pot.
The marshal personally issued an order banning large-scale entertainment activities for one year. Ordinary people can only celebrate the festival secretly at home, and dare not have any music or dance.
He dared to come forward and say that the whole country would celebrate. Didn't this force the marshal to scold him?
"Okay." Helian Shang suddenly relented.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Three months ago, a general refused to accept this rule and openly proposed to hold an event, but Helian Shang only agreed lightly.
But the general was sent to the border the next second and demoted several levels in a row.
They all knew that the young military advisor had passed away and that the marshal was sad, but they didn't expect him to be so sad. After such an incident, everyone made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter again.
Even though Beizhou's most lively traditional festival is half a month away, no one dares to ask whether this ban has been lifted.
But now, the marshal says it can be lifted. Are they just dreaming?
"Marshal, can it be done as before?" Someone asked tentatively.
Helian Shang nodded.
Seeing this, the people below quickly started to get vaccinated, "This is the first festival since the reunification of Beizhou, and the scene will definitely be very grand and lively."
So you old man, please don't suddenly go crazy in the middle of the journey.
"Do as you wish, and you don't have to ask me anything."
After Helian Shang said this, the people below were completely relieved.
After several years of continuous war, Beizhou has long been devastated. Now that it has finally been unified, some activities are definitely needed to unite people's hearts.
It seems that the marshal has recovered from the shock of the death of his young military advisor.
Soon the people below dispersed, leaving only Cheng Ming standing side by side with him.
"Sir, do you have any other ideas?" Cheng Ming asked.
Ever since they went to the imperial capital and met Yun Muqian, something didn't feel right between the marshal and the young lady.
They seemed to really recognize Yun Mu Qian as the real Mu Qian.
But after all, she is from the Imperial Capital of Nanzhou. She is not from Beizhou, let alone a small military advisor.
"Is there anything wrong with me?" Helian Shang asked.
Cheng Ming thought for a while and then said honestly, "Did you and the young lady recognize the wrong person?"
Only the name is the same, everything else is different.
The most important thing is that they watched the little military advisor's coffin be buried, and they also saw the body in the coffin with their own eyes.
There is no such thing as resurrection from the dead.
This is true even in the spiritual world. No matter how powerful the spiritual power is, people will not be able to escape death, and those who have died will not be able to wake up again.
This is the rule.
"How are you searching for the traces of the ghost clan's descendants?" he asked.
Cheng Ming thought of his instructions a few days ago and could only nod, "The ghost clan has disappeared for many years. Looking for it again is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will take some time."
"Speed up, we can't delay any more."
Listening to Helianshang's words, Cheng Ming could only nod in agreement.
No matter how difficult it is, they can only do it if the marshal orders it.
"In addition, Chi Si and Yun Muqian have entered Beizhou and are now in a small town fifty kilometers away from Licheng."
It was only after meeting Chi Si that the marshal ordered all the security forces to search for the descendants of the ghost clan.
It is precisely because of this that the ghost gate that had originally disappeared from everyone's eyes in Beizhou Continent reappeared.
He could vaguely guess that it must be for Yun Muqian.
"Arrange someone to protect her safety."
Cheng Ming nodded, and when he turned around, he saw the expressionless Lingsu standing behind the two of them.
I don’t know how much the little lady heard.
In order to avoid getting angry, he said hello to Lingsu and hurried downstairs.
During the whole process, he didn't dare to look back at the two of them.
Lingsu only paused for a moment and then turned around. Lili, who was following her, wanted to ask something but didn't dare to say anything.
Madam suddenly came to see the marshal, but she happened to hear these words that she could not quite understand.
