She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor

Chapter 216: Siege



Chapter 216

The group exchanged glances and nodded, "Your idea is not bad, we can give it a try."

"I also think we can try it. Someone has to take the first step anyway. Sister, did you used to make pancakes at home?"

The woman shook her head, "I learned the pancake recipe from my grandmother. I thought her pancakes were delicious, and it's a unique secret recipe. I want to give it a try."

"If you want to try, then go for it. Setting up a stall doesn't cost much. Try it for a few days first, and we can discuss further if it doesn't work out."

"As for money, don't worry about it. We can lend you some. Since you were introduced by the Divine Lady, we trust that you definitely won't run away."

"Yes, I can lend you money too. You're absolutely right - teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish. We should help you survive, not just provide direct relief."

"If you have any difficulties in the future, come find me. Although I may not be able to solve your problems, having one more person means one more source of comfort."

"The Divine Lady said that women should help each other. Plague City can accept all women who gather the courage to seek freedom. One day, I want to go there too!"

Modern times.

Gu Sang was in class when she suddenly heard the System's notification.

"Ding!"

"Grandmother has been resurrected!"

Gu Sang was so excited she almost stood up. She looked at her phone - only half an hour until school was over!

Just forty more minutes until she could see her grandmother!

Gu Sang was so excited that she could no longer hear what the teacher was saying at the podium. She focused intently on her phone, watching each minute and second tick by.

For the first time, she realized how excruciatingly long a minute could be.

She wanted to find an excuse to go home right away, but she knew her grandmother would be angry if she skipped class. So she could only wait anxiously in her heart.

The moment the teacher announced the end of class, Gu Sang shoved her books into her desk and ran towards the school gate at lightning speed.

Gu Sang took a taxi home and pushed open the door, but didn't see her grandmother anywhere.

She checked the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom - nothing...

"System, hasn't my grandmother already been resurrected? Why can't I see her?"

Gu Sang's heart sank.

"She has indeed been resurrected!"

The System's voice remained calm and emotionless as ever.

Gu Sang sat on the sofa in confusion, feeling as if countless tentacles of fear were dragging her down to the depths of hell.

In moments of such fear, Gu Sang's mind became even clearer.

She suddenly thought of a possibility - she had been resurrected in modern times, while her grandmother had exchanged merit for her rebirth. Could it be possible that her grandmother had been resurrected in ancient times?

Realizing this, Gu Sang's voice trembled as she spoke.

"System, could my grandmother be in ancient times?"

"It's possible!"

"You died in ancient times, so your grandmother may have been resurrected in ancient times!"

Hearing this, Gu Sang almost wanted to curse out loud. If the System had a physical form, Gu Sang would have been angry enough to dump a bucket of excrement over it.

Gu Sang: What do you mean by "it's possible"? Such a big deal, and you just casually say three words!

After waiting a while, she didn't hear a reply from the System.

Just when Gu Sang thought the System had blocked her, it suddenly appeared again.

"Sorry, the System indeed failed to inform you in advance!"

"To compensate for the information gap, the System has gifted you a big package. Please sign for it!"

Gu Sang angrily: You're simply @#¥¥%##.......

"Please sign!"

"Ding!"

"Signed!"

Gu Sang: ......

She had thought she could see her grandmother today, but the result? The result was being told that she might have been resurrected in ancient times?

What else could Gu Sang say? Her heart was shattered!

That scumbag Pei Changying had always been hoping for her to return to ancient times. She had to get back to ancient times quickly to find her grandmother!

She would lose 1 million merit points for each day she spent in ancient times. She didn't have much merit left now, so she had to act quickly and decisively, timing this moment precisely.

Gu Sang immediately contacted the Elder Princess, informing her about her grandmother's resurrection and asking her to secretly send people to search for her grandmother.

-

Compared to half a year ago, Plague City was now vastly different.

The population had boomed to the point where it was almost like a second capital.

The bumper harvest of crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes meant that everyone in Plague City could eat their fill, with no worries about food shortages.

After adding ten more cannons and over a thousand grenades to Plague City's arsenal, the Elder Princess began to lead her troops into battle.

Zhou Qichen and General Qin both accompanied the Elder Princess, starting their conquest with the nearest cities.

Since they were all Central Plains civilians, the Elder Princess didn't use cannons to bombard the cities. Instead, she first employed tactical siege warfare.

Only when faced with particularly troublesome armies would the Elder Princess resort to using gunpowder.

What? The imperial court is losing cities one after another, suffering defeat all the way?

What? Half the empire lost in just one short month?

Are the imperial troops good for nothing?

The army led by the Elder Princess advanced triumphantly, losing several cities in just one month.

When this battle report reached the capital, all the civilians were stunned: "The, the Elder Princess has really rebelled? She's almost attacking the capital?"

"Then, what about the Divine Lady? Surely the Divine Lady must know about this?"

At first, all the civilians were a bit panicked.

But when they heard that after capturing the cities, the Elder Princess hadn't killed a single civilian and had strictly ordered her soldiers not to disturb the normal lives of the people,

The civilians' dissatisfaction and fear of the Elder Princess instantly dissipated.

It didn't matter to them who became emperor.

As long as they could still survive!

In the main hall of the palace.

Ever since the Elder Princess began her attack on the cities, Pei Changying's expression had never been good.

The officials tread carefully, not daring to speak easily.

Looking at the memorials submitted today, Pei Changying laughed desolately and viciously: "Another city lost. Tell me, are all those commanders useless? They can't even stop a woman!"

"In such a short time, that disgraced woman has taken several cities."

"According to military reports, Plague City has less than 300,000 soldiers. How are you fighting this war? How did you lose the cities so quickly?"

"Even if you all went up to die one by one, you could have held out for a few more days!"

Pei Changying's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't slept well for a long time.

At this moment, with his bulging veins, he looked like a demon crawling up from the depths of hell.

The Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The next step should be Pei Weiqi attacking Mountain City. This place is easy to defend but hard to attack. Even if the rebels have powerful weapons like cannons, it won't be easy to conquer."

"As long as we dispatch generals skilled in defense to guard it, I dare guarantee that the rebels absolutely cannot break through!"

Pei Changying leaned back on his dragon throne, rubbing his eyes uncomfortably, looking fatigued and anxious.

"Tell me, which general do you think is suitable to dispatch?"
