Regardless of whether there is food or not, life must go on at this border, because the fighting at the border has displaced the people of several cities.

Zhou Wanwan summoned all the ministers and looked at them, saying:

"To tell you the truth, I want to build the border region into a commercial center as well as a military center."

So I've gathered you all together for this purpose, so..."

Before Zhou Wanwan could finish speaking, someone announced, "General Who Breaks Tigers requests an audience."

Zhou Wanwan was taken aback and asked, "Where did General Who Breaks Tigers come from? Do we have such a person on our side?"

The person outside said, "General Who Breaks Tigers is from the Great Qi Kingdom."

Then they heard General Who Proclaims Might say, "Yes, I wonder what he's here for."

General Who Breaks Tigers walked in from outside. He had lost a lot of weight; the plague had almost killed him.

General Who Breaks Tigers pointed at General Who Proclaims Might and said:

"You beast, how could you actually dare to collude with the enemy and betray your country?"

"I'm telling you, I've already told the Emperor everything that's going on here. You just wait! You're dead."

Zhou Wanwan looked at General Who Breaks Tigers and said, "His vitality is quite strong; he actually survived the plague?"

General Who Breaks Tigers also scoffed coldly:

"What can a little mouse plague do to me? She's just a six-year-old girl. Did you start this plague?"

Just you wait! I won't let you get away with this.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "You don't actually think you can leave today, do you?"

General Who Breaks Tigers snorted coldly:

"If I can't leave, you can't have any good luck either. My secret message has already reached the capital."

"Within a day, a million-strong army will arrive here, and you will all die."

General Who Proclaims Might's face changed. "You dare? Believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

General Who Breaks Tigers laughed heartily:

"You coward, actually obeying a 6-year-old child, what use are you?"

"Still thinking of defeating me? Dream on! Men, take them all down!"

General Who Breaks Tigers has summoned his entire army today, intending to kill them all.

There's practically no one here.

If he kills these people, the entire Yanmen Pass will be his.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Fool, with so many people, why do you think we entered Yanmen Pass so easily?"

Is it possible that this is a trap?

General Who Breaks Tigers laughed loudly, "A trap? What are you pretending for? I want to see what this trap is all about. Charge! Charge!"

But all his soldiers stood motionless in place.

General Who Breaks Tigers shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"

Suddenly, countless threads flew in from all directions, and all the soldiers were bound.

Jiang Yong, the deputy general under General Who Breaks Tigers, said:

"General, is it possible that besides these people, there are other trusted confidants in your camp right now?"

Everyone else is one of our own!

General Who Breaks Tigers laughed heartily:

"Jiang Yong, so you've already betrayed us? Are you out of your mind?"

"You believe that he's just a 6-year-old child?"

Jiang Yong said calmly:

"General, even a six-year-old child knows that the plague is extremely dangerous, don't you?"

I told you then not to use such vicious tactics, but you were so desperate to win that you didn't care about anything else.

General Who Breaks Tigers roared, "This is all Zhou Wanwan's conspiracy! It's all her conspiracy!"

"A conspiracy? It's just that they have the ability to cure the plague, otherwise the people of Crushed Stone Fort would have all died long ago."

If it weren't for Zhou Wanwan, our Tiger-Breaking Army would have been wiped out long ago.

"What makes you think you can stand here and swagger around like that?" Jiang Yong retorted directly.

General Who Breaks Tigers stared in disbelief and said, "You mean she cured our plague?"

Jiang Yong continued:

What kind of life did you experience serving under you?

They were starving and freezing, and could lose their lives at any moment.

Breaks Tigers, ask yourself honestly, have you done right by your soldiers?

Breaks Tigers was speechless and lowered his head. Soon, Breaks Tigers and his men were all pulled out.

Zhou Wanwan said, "Now the border is Taiping. It's so boring with all the fighting and killing every day!"

General Who Proclaims Might asked, "What about those letters?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "What happens here won't get out. Just focus on your own tasks."

With the addition of the Tiger-Breaking Army, she now commands nearly 900,000 troops. How terrifying is that?

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Starting today, you will train in the morning and farm in the afternoon. Our border will definitely get better and better."

It's common knowledge that grain cannot be grown on the border.

Therefore, the manors at the border were very cheap. Zhou Wanwan really didn't want to buy one, but she couldn't resist the offers of gifts from those people!

Looking at the several boxes of estate deeds, Zhou Wanwan said, "These people are really something. I told them I could make a lot of money in the future, but they just wouldn't believe me."

Cheng Chao and Shen Wanjun also rushed over. Cheng Chao saw Zheng Xing'an and asked excitedly, "Wife, have you been tired lately?"

Zheng Xing'an shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. What do I have to be tired about?"

Cheng Chao chuckled and said, "That's good, that's good."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "I want to develop this border into a commercial center. You two, think of some ideas."

Cheng Chao said, "If you want to become a commercial center, you have to have something that people want."

Zhou Wanwan said softly, "What I want! Yes, we definitely need to create something unique."

Just like tourist attractions, only when a place has unique characteristics will people become interested.

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "This place is all sand, nothing but sand. What's so special about it? Unless we build one ourselves."

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Are there any famous legends about the border region?"

Someone said:

"Yes, do you still remember the old war god of the previous dynasty? The Old War God of the Northern Frontier of the previous dynasty, who repelled the alien races at the border back then."

Legend has it that he did not die on the battlefield, but obtained a secret treasure from beyond the borders, found a secret place for immortality, and after removing his armor, he fled into the valleys of the border region.

Some say he took ancient elixirs and became immortal.

Some say that the valley contains ancient medicine remnants and a fountain of youth, which, if obtained by a destined person, can prolong life.

The God of War left a will. "Those who guard the nation's borders will have the chance to live forever. Those who sincerely worship among those who pass by will receive blessings and longevity."

"Yes, we still have a War God Monument here, to commemorate this Old War God of the Northern Frontier."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "That makes things simple. We just need to find the opportunity left behind by this old war god."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. "Where are we going to find such an opportunity? These are just legends; they might not even be true."

"That's right! Who knows what this opportunity is? That old war god didn't leave any clues."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"You guys haven't read enough fantasy novels and tomb raiding novels."

This kind of opportunity is unprecedented, so it's naturally the best.
