How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 110: The matter is done and I leave, hiding my identity and name

After the Duke of Wei left, the emperor couldn't help but think of the son who had been strangled to death by the Ding family. If that son were still alive, he would probably be as brave as Twenty.

Granny Du said that on her first visit to Qianjia Village, she dared to yell at the villagers and even managed to silence them.

The Emperor summoned Chief Eunuch Hu. "Send someone to bring that woman back." Even if that woman had schemed against him, he didn't want to pursue the matter further.

Chief Steward Hu paused for a moment before remembering which woman the Emperor was referring to as "that woman." "Yes, this servant will send someone to fetch her immediately. After she's brought back, should she be brought to the palace?"

"Let's just find a place to settle down." Although he didn't want to argue with her anymore, he didn't want to see her either.

"This servant understands, this servant will go and make the arrangements immediately."

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Little Dog Sheng was strolling around the military camp when she suddenly saw the Duke of Jin, dressed in armor, emerge from his room. Little Dog Sheng was overjoyed. It seemed the Duke of Jin's heir had led his men to wipe out the stronghold of the Northern Di and their two henchmen. It seemed she would soon be able to go home.

Duke Jin saw Xiaogou Sheng and waved to him. "Son, come here, Dad will take you to beat up those stray dogs."

The little dog rolled its eyes inwardly. Had this person forgotten that she was a girl? "Dad, I won't go and cause you any trouble. I wish you a successful start."

"Okay. In a few days, Dad will take you to the Northern Barbarians."

The soldiers in the camp were stunned!
Is the Duke's injury very serious?!
Isn't the Duke nearing his end?!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The Duke of Jin personally took the drumsticks and started drumming.

The Northern Di general had just learned that his stronghold had been destroyed when he saw the Duke of Jin leading his troops charging over.

Just as the Northern Di general was about to fight to the death, he discovered that another army was approaching from behind.

The Northern Di general: "..." The Central Plains people are more cunning than wolves! "Kill! Avenge our people! Kill! Avenge our people!"

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he shouted, he couldn't boost morale.

The generals of the other two small countries were filled with regret.

They only wanted a share of the spoils because the Duke of Jin was dying, but they never expected to lose even their stronghold. They wonder if the Duke of Jin would spare them if they surrendered now?
One of the generals, seeing that the Duke of Jin was about to arrive, quickly shouted, "We surrender! We were forced to surrender!"

The other commander, who had initially hesitated, now declared, "We surrender too! We were forced into this!"

There's a saying in the Central Plains: "Those who understand the times are heroes." They want to be heroes.

This further dampened the morale of the Northern Barbarians.

The Northern Di general was nearly driven mad with rage. "You two bastards! The gods will punish you!"

The gods are far away, but the Duke of Jin is very close.

"We surrender!"

"We surrender too!"

……

Xiao Gou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Duke of Jin return carrying the head of the Northern Di general. Although she was confident of victory, what if things went wrong?
"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

Congratulations to ourselves! After this battle, neighboring countries will not dare to provoke them for at least ten years.

"Hahahaha..." The Duke of Jin shook the head of the Northern Di general. "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." She would occasionally stroll around the mass grave. "He's dead."

"Hahahaha... Not bad, as expected of my son."

I'll spare you the glare for the sake of the Northern Di general's head. "Lord Duke, you're busy, I'll go now." War always results in casualties.

"Go."

After cleaning up the battlefield and drinking the victory wine, the Duke of Jin should go and take a look around his newly acquired territory.

Doctor Chang, Old Man Dong, and Little Dog Sheng were packing their things when Duke Jin strode in. "Come on, I'll take you to play in the Northern Barbarians." Little Dog Sheng looked at Duke Jin and smiled, "Thanks. But we won't go. First, we've been out for a long time and it's time to go back. Second, you just conquered the Northern Barbarians and two other small countries, so there must be a lot of people who want revenge. I don't want to risk my life for fun."

"You should also be careful. I've heard that the herbs of the Northern Barbarians are different from ours. If you get poisoned by them, our doctors might not be able to cure you. Right, Grandpa Chang?"

Doctor Chang nodded. "I've heard they also have a kind of evil magic that can control people's minds. Be careful."

"Thank you for reminding me, I'll be careful. You really aren't coming with me?"

Little Dog Sheng: "No. We'll go after you've assimilated the residents in the new territory."

"assimilation?"

"That's right. Didn't our ancestors do the same thing?"

Indeed. "Hahaha... Alright, I'll take you to play after the Emperor assimilates them." He was only responsible for seizing territory; the rest was up to the Emperor.

Duke Jin looked over at Dong Laoqi. "Aren't you really considering continuing your career in the army? Your military achievements this time should at least qualify you for a thousand-household rank."

"No, thank you." The army wasn't a paradise either; he disliked and wasn't good at backstabbing. He'd rather go sell alcohol with that little dog.

"Alright. I'll send your rewards to Qianjia Village after everything is done. Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."

The little dog wasn't in it for the money, but he wouldn't turn it away either. "Thanks."

Duke Jin patted the little dog Sheng's head. "What are you thanking me for? You're my son."

The little dog glanced sideways at the Duke of Jin. "You don't lack sons, your eldest son is alive and well, isn't he?" Although she guessed that the Duke of Jin's heir was not dead, she still wanted to confirm.

The Duke of Jin nodded. "It was he who led the men to the stronghold of the Northern Di this time."

As expected. "Like father, like son."

"Hahahaha... How do you know my eldest son is alive and well?"

"Guess."

Duke Jin patted the puppy's head again. "You're quite the guesser. You really won't be my daughter-in-law?"

Xiaogou Sheng: "..." She originally thought that since she was leaving, she wouldn't give him a dirty look.

The little dog Sheng rolled its eyes at the Duke of Jin. "Grandpa Chang, Uncle Dong, let's go."

"Hahahaha...Alright, alright, if you don't want to, am I going to tie you up and take you to my house? You can pack your things slowly. Just tell Zhao Erqiang, who's in charge of supplies, what you want to take."

"Okay, be careful. I don't want to go out of my way to rescue you again."

"I will. You all be careful too. Do you need me to send someone to escort you?"

"No need. Thank you."

"Okay, I'll go get busy then."

After the Duke of Jin left, Dong Laoqi looked at Xiaogou Sheng and laughed, "It seems the Duke of Jin really treats you like a son. He told you such a confidential matter so easily."

Xiao Gou Sheng casually said, "From the moment his eldest son led his men to conquer the Northern Di royal court, his eldest son's affairs were no longer a secret."

Old Dong Qi: "..." He really isn't suited for scheming and intrigue. "Why?"

"Because he needs to let the Jiang family army know that his eldest son is just as brave and resourceful as he is. Only then will the Jiang family army respect his eldest son. In addition, with this merit, even if his eldest son makes a mistake in the future, the emperor will be lenient towards him. Except for treason."

So that's how it is. He thought the Duke of Jin wanted to bring the little girl to his house, which is why he told her that. "Let's go sell wine."

"okay!"
