"Jiang Zhou, calm down!" Zhao Xingyuan shouted. Jiang Zhou seemed to just react and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Xingyuan, I... I didn't mean to, I was just a little agitated."

"May I ask... why?" Jiang Zhou's tone was slightly pleading.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingyuan pursed her lips, her face showing guilt, and pretended to be calm, saying, "Jiang Zhou, we are not suitable."

Before, I was too optimistic. I always thought that knowing we could love each other, I would be willing to solve any difficulties.

But now, Jiang Zhou, look at Xiao Li. He has become so depraved because of us. I am really heartbroken. Why wasn't I the one who was humiliated back then?

Otherwise, Xiaoli wouldn't have turned out the way she is now.

"And Auntie..." Zhao Xingyuan said with a forced smile, "Jiang Zhou, I think... you should also know what Auntie means, she doesn't like me."

"You've carried too much burden because of being with me. Because of me, there's been a rift between you and your family. I don't want you to regret it later, so, Jiang Zhou, let's break up."

Zhao Xingyuan shifted the blame for the breakup onto Jiang Zhou, portraying herself as an innocent person.

Jiang Zhou was deeply moved by Zhao Xingyuan's words, which were all for his sake. He hugged Zhao Xingyuan and comforted her, saying, "Xingyuan, you are so kind. No one expected what happened to Jiang Li."

It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

If I could go back to the beginning, I would still choose you.

Xingyuan, I love you, I've loved you since I was little. Do you know how heartbroken I was when I saw you getting close to Jiang Zui?

Zhao Xingyuan, nestled in Jiang Zhou's arms, looked annoyed; he hadn't expected Jiang Zhou to be so clingy.

Aside from the last line of defense, the two had already done everything they could to be intimate. Considering this, Zhao Xingyuan didn't care about Jiang Zhou's reckless behavior.

Zhao Xingyuan bit her lip and said seriously, "Jiang Zhou, I know, but... we can't let others get hurt because of our own selfish desires."

I'm sorry, Jiang Zhou, I can't continue this relationship. You're wonderful, and I hope you meet someone you like in the future.

After saying that, Zhao Xingyuan forcefully squeezed out of Jiang Zhou's embrace and turned to leave.

Jiang Zhou stared at Zhao Xingyuan, who didn't even turn her head, her eyes bloodshot and her face contorted in a ferocious expression.

She thought to herself: Zhao Xingyuan, you are mine.

Seeing that no one was around, Jiang Zhou immediately followed.

Jiang Zhou didn't want anyone else to see him when he invited Zhao Xingyuan out, so he chose a secluded and hidden place.

Jiang Zhou moved quickly, covering Zhao Xingyuan's mouth from behind and dragging her aside.

Zhao Xingyuan was assaulted by Jiang Zhou!

Zhao Xingyuan walked home with red and swollen eyes, looking numb and indifferent.

He never imagined that after being kidnapped by bandits, it was Jiang Zhou who saved him and kept him from danger.

But... in the end, the bandits became the boats on the river.

To be honest, when Zhao Xingyuan saw Jiang Zhou arrive in the bandit's den, her heart was filled with love and gratitude.

But now, all that's left is disgust and unbearable feeling.

Back home, Fu Yu immediately noticed Zhao Xingyuan's unusual behavior. His expression was terrified as he whispered, "Yuanyuan, what...what happened to you?"

Zhao Xingyuan didn't say anything, but hugged Fu Yu and burst into tears, sobbing, "Father, I...I...Jiang Zhou, he..."

Zhao Xingyuan's words were broken and intermittent because of her crying, but after Fu Yu saw Zhao Xingyuan's body, he knew exactly what had happened.

"That damned Jiang Zhou, how dare he?! No, no, I must teach him a lesson." Even though Fu Yu was using Zhao Xingyuan, he still felt a bit sorry for her.

Zhao Xingyuan quickly grabbed Fu Yu and cried out, "Father, no, don't go!"

Fu Yu sighed and repeatedly comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright, Yuan Yuan."

"Father, what should I do now?" Zhao Xingyuan thought about how there was already a misunderstanding between her and Jiang Zui, and now she had lost her innocence.

If she wanted to go back and be with Jiang Zhou again, she was afraid that Jiang Zhou wouldn't believe her.

Zhao Xingyuan felt as if she were in a dilemma, with no way out.

"Don't rush, you need to stay calm, especially now." Fu Yu said seriously, "Yuanyuan, I'll only ask you one question: do you want to be with Jiang Zhou, or Jiang Zui?"

"You and Jiang Zhou have already consummated your marriage, and he likes you very much. Logically speaking, being with him is the best choice for you."

Fu Yu paused for a moment and then said, "But if you want to be with Jiang Zui, there are ways."

"What way?!" Zhao Xingyuan perked up instantly upon hearing the last sentence. She wiped away her tears, her eyes bright and hopeful, and asked.

In Zhao Xingyuan's mind, Jiang Zhou had long been ruled out.

In his opinion, if Jiang Zhou really liked him, he wouldn't have done something so outrageous.

"It's very simple, just catch them in the act."

Although it may not be good for your reputation, the goal has been achieved.

Immediately afterward, Fu Yu whispered his plan to Zhao Xingyuan. After hearing the plan, Zhao Xingyuan nodded and agreed to it.

On the other side, Jiang Zui handed over his cement house to Chen Yue, the leader of the Chen Family Army, the army stationed in Lingnan.

Li Tian, ​​the mayor of Sin Slave Town, is arrogant and domineering, and acts recklessly, treating the entire town as his private territory.

Jiang Zui didn't want to give away his credit to others for nothing.

As the general guarding Lingnan, Chen Yue attached great importance to the matter of grain supplies. Upon hearing that Jiang Zui's cement formula could shorten the time for transporting grain supplies, he met with Jiang Zui.

Jiang Zui explained the uses of the cement formula, the materials, and everything else to Chen Yue in great detail, which made Chen Yue very happy.

Chen Yue sent someone to relay the cement plan to his superiors, instructing Jiang Zui to go back and inform them of the news. He also arranged a simple position for Jiang Zui in the military camp, so that he wouldn't have to get up early every day to repair roads like the others.

Jiang Zui had plenty of money and Chen Yue as his backer, so he and Qi Chen lived a carefree and decadent life.

They played and frolicked every day without restraint.

Jiang Zui often subsidized the Qi family, after all, the Qi family also had a share of the money he had.

The Qi family members are all intelligent and resourceful.

Qi Yi and Qi Zhan earned the admiration of others within seven or eight days of starting work, and now they are both team leaders, managing more than a dozen people.

Qi Ze was strong and had practiced martial arts since childhood. Jiang Zui asked Chen Yue to get Qi Ze into the army camp, where he became a new recruit.

Qi Ze's identity did not preclude him from joining the army, but Jiang Zui guaranteed that he could bring a new type of weapon to the Chen family army, so Chen Yue made an exception and allowed Qi Ze to join the Chen family army.

As for the new type of weapon Jiang Zui mentioned, he was referring to gunpowder.

By chance, he discovered saltpeter, which reminded him of how gunpowder was made.
