Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (83)

Some people thought he was lamenting. If demons who possessed magic were willing to help with the disaster, then naturally the more of them, the better. They could save more people than ordinary mortals like them ever could.

Some people thought that he was implying something. Those people who were suspected of being demons were working so hard to provide disaster relief, so what reason did they, the civil and military courtiers, not to contribute to the relief efforts?

Li Yufeng didn’t say a word more, and didn’t even respond to Prince Qi’s provocation. What else could Prince Qi do? He could only insist on being cautious in everything and that they must send a Daoist master to capture Bai Yi. However, Bai Yi was a renowned doctor. She has saved many patients in the capital. She also donated porridge and clothes. She had a favorable reputation.

Prince Qi’s men now wanted to drag her back to court. If they delayed the relief work and proceeded with Bai Yi’s arrest, who would go and provide disaster relief? Send others? Could they save as many people as Bai Yi could? If not, shouldn’t the disaster be the priority at this moment? If not, shouldn’t the disaster be the priority at this moment? Prince Qi’s actions in wanting to deal with Li Yufeng without regard for the victims didn’t really sit well with the ministers.

In the end, His Majesty made a decision and ordered that the matter be investigated after the disaster has passed. At present, all efforts must be made to relieve the disaster, and no extra problems were allowed.

Prince Qi also wanted to make trouble with Chu Xiang’s background, but Li Yufeng blocked it and pushed it aside. I’d better make up a random place name. Go check it if you have the ability. By the time you find conclusive evidence, the long yellow daylily would have withered.

In Bai Yi’s absence, no amount of monks or Daoist masters in the capital could make her appear to prove that she was a demon. Chu Xiang was trapped in the town severely ridden by the plague, so it was inappropriate for Prince Qi to make any remarks against her. For a while, he couldn’t even make a move on the demons. He could only suffer the bitter taste of having been beaten in succession.

Li Yufeng didn’t give him a chance to plot and launched wave after wave of powerful offensives, driving Prince Qi, who had never gauged his power, into a panic. He struggled to cope with him and couldn’t spare any energy to deal with the demons.Even the ministers took his claims as jokes. In their impression, demons would never be so dedicated to saving mortals and relieving them from disasters. At least they have never heard of such a thing and so didn’t believe it at all.

Li Yufeng successfully won with the time gap and skillfully suppressed the “demon” issue. Next, he asked the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works to cooperate with him and Chu Xiang’s people to find potatoes and other materials to forge new weapons. Of course, unfamiliar people only carried out menial work while the key processes were taken over by their people. He just wanted to let everyone know that Chu Xiang deserved the credit.

He also honestly told the emperor about the matter. The Emperor had never seen those crops and weapons, but after listening to Li Yufeng describe them so vividly, he only thought that this was probably something unique to the demon realm. Chu Xiang brought them out on account for their relationship, right?

The Emperor was skeptical about this matter, but if it was beneficial for the country, he was fine with testing them. If they proved to work out, then it would indeed be a good thing for a thousand-year-old fox demon to help his son rule the country. It would be a great blessing for the country!

With the Emperor’s support, Li Yufeng carried out his work more smoothly. He executed a lot of activities and constantly caused stirs. Prince Qi’s faction wanted to ascertain his strength but they also had to think of ways to deal with him and find ways to hinder him from taking credit for his work. Hence, they were having more and more trouble coping. The number of people they needed increased as well. As the prospective son-in-law of the Jiang family, Zhuang Yulang was recommended to Prince Qi by the Jiang family’s second son.

Zhuang Yulang has taken the Snow Lotus Pill. He could learn everything quickly and he was quick to understand what others taught him. The only thing he lacked was the vision and insight brought by his family background, but he was still a person worth cultivating.

The only problem was that he had rented together with Li Yufeng before and that Bai Yi was once his fiancée!

Prince Qi ordered someone to set him up and deliberately mentioned him in front of Li Yufeng to test his attitude. He found that Zhuang Yulang didn’t know anything, and Li Yufeng didn’t care about him at all. He felt puzzled and couldn’t figure out what the relationship between Zhuang Yulang and these people was, so he kept Zhuang Yulang temporarily to see if there was a breakthrough in him.

The Jiang family misunderstood his support and thought that Prince Qi valued Zhuang Yulang. For this reason, they couldn’t wait to arrange the marriage between him and Miss Jiang. Everyone knew that the Emperor was seriously ill. If he died, the whole country would be in mourning, and celebrations would be banned.

Miss Jiang was anxious to marry Zhuang Yulang and settle down. Zhuang Yulang was penniless after losing the shop, so he was equally anxious to marry Miss Jiang and gain the support of the Jiang family. Besides, he needed the Jiang family’s support for him to face Prince Qi. The two sides hit it off at once and eagerly became relatives after a decent marriage arrangement. They also wrapped it up in a nice-sounding excuse, avoiding extravagance in the face of a disaster, and conformed to the principle of simplicity.
