I Just Won't Play By The Book

However, her eyes had almost lost the last bit of light.

She dragged her heavy footsteps back to her small house. She was just like a walking corpse. However, the moment she opened the door, she suddenly regained a bit of vitality.

Because she discovered that a letter had suddenly appeared on the table. Generally speaking, the letters sent from outside had to be picked up by themselves. And if someone had secretly sent a letter to her, it would usually be stuffed under the crack of the door.

And this was the first time she had seen a letter placed on her table like this.

But her intuition told her that this was definitely from Brother Jiang!

"Hu… Hu…"

Lin Yuyan stood in front of the table, panting heavily. She was both expectant and afraid. Although her intuition was usually very accurate, if she opened it and found out that this letter was not sent by her senior brother, she did not know if she could still maintain her last shred of rationality.

In the end, her longing for her senior brother overcame her fear. She grabbed the excitement on the desk and carefully opened it. The moment she took out the letter, Lin Yuyan's dull eyes instantly regained their vitality and became energetic.

"It's Brother Jiang's handwriting! It's Brother Jiang's handwriting!"

After confirming that it was a letter from Brother Jiang, Lin Yuyan read it word by word, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

Only after reading the last word did Lin Yuyan slowly put down the letter.

"Is this a letter for home? Aiya! Brother Jiang! You've become so bold all of a sudden! You're doing things that only husband would do!"

Lin Yuyan slapped the table, and then it cracked and broke into countless wood chips.

After venting her excitement, Lin Yuyan held the letter with both hands on her chest and lay on the bed, her face full of happiness.

At night, Lin Yuyan, who had already read the ‘letter' five times, was happily thinking about how to reply when she heard a knock on the door.

She got up and opened the door, only to see Lu Ningxin standing at the door with a determined expression.

"Ningxin, why are you here?"

When Lin Yuyan opened her mouth, Lu Ningxin, who was standing at the door, was stunned.

Because the feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze had returned.

One had to know that she had mustered up a lot of courage to investigate what witchcraft Mumu had been poisoned by, but she did not expect Mumu to suddenly recover.

"I… I came to look for you to have a meal together."

After hearing this, Lin Yuyan smiled and held Lu Ningxin's arm, "I really want to go with you, but I want to rest early today. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will definitely personally make some snacks to look for you, is that alright?"

Seeing that Mumu had completely returned to her usual self, no, it should be said that she was much happier than usual. Although Lu Ningxin did not understand what was going on, she was still slightly relieved, she thought that perhaps Mumu was just in a bad mood in the morning.

Of course, she would not let down her guard because of this. She still had to continue observing.

After sending Lu Ningxin away, Lin Yuyan sat back in her chair and began to think hard.

"How should I reply… Should I ask about the matters in the palace? No, no, that would make me look petty. As a wife, I shouldn't… Aiya! What wife!"

Lin Yuyan thought as she slammed her palm down again.

"Achoo!"

In the palace, Jiang Beiran, who was correcting the memorials, sneezed.

Behind him, Kong Qianqian quickly went up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright? Do you want me to call the doctor for you?"

Jiang Beiran gave her a sideways glance and shook his head. "Am I so weak in your eyes?"

Kong Qianqian quickly shook her head. "Of course not. It's just that Yunzhou County is very strange. It's almost spring, why is it still so cold?"

Jiang Beiran was very sure that Kong Qianqian had never learn geography. He gave up on explaining to her and waved her off.

Jiang Beiran opened a new memorial and read it carefully. When he finished reading the last word, three options popped up at the same time.

[ Option 1: Seal it with the jade seal. Reward: Green Feather Map (middle-tier black-grade)]

[ Option 2: Summon the official and give him a good scolding. Reward: Plain Pattern Method (low-tier black-grade)]

[ Option 3: Let the official experience the bone-chilling cold. Reward: Random basic attribute points + 1]

From the moment Jiang Beiran began to familiarize himself with the imperial court and began to read the memorials, Jiang Beiran finally understood what it meant to be a good emperor.

In the past, when he activated the option, he still had to run around. But now, he could earn attribute points effortlessly by correcting the memorials.

At first, Jiang Beiran could not understand why the system would give him a notification about matters of the country. But after thinking about it for a while, he understood. Now that he was the emperor of Sheng Kingdom, his fate was already connected to this country. In the future, the fate of the Sheng Kingdom would be closely related to him.

The simplest point was that when the powerful countries in the central plains fought to a victory, they would turn around and destroy this small Sheng Kingdom.

Therefore, if he could not make the Sheng Kingdom stronger, he, the emperor, would probably suffer along with it.

In other words, making the Sheng Kingdom a first-rate country on the mainland had become his new goal.

It was different from keeping a low profile in Sect of Returning Hearts and accumulating strength. Now that he was sitting on the throne, he truly had a clear goal. Because when Sheng Kingdom annexed the world, it also meant that he would be invincible!

However, it was very easy to just talking about ambitious dream. In reality, to make Sheng Kingdom the number one country in the world was almost impossible.

Before becoming emperor, Jiang Beiran knew that Sheng Kingdom was located in a remote area and lacked cultivation resources. The highest combat strength of Sheng Kingdom was only two mystic masters.

Compared to those countries that were full of high tier spirit stone mines, where mystic masters were everywhere, and where mystic masters were inferior to dogs, Sheng Kingdom was simply a small fry to those strong countries.

However, since becoming emperor was the simplest system option, it meant that he definitely had the ability to achieve this. Moreover, Jiang Beiran did not intend to completely rely on the system to help him turn the situation around.

Because he relied too much on the option, sooner or later, the simplest option would not give off attribute points anymore. And that was definitely the situation that Jiang Beiran did not want to see the most.

Therefore, while Jiang Beiran was learning how to govern, he was also making plans for how to make the Sheng Kingdom stronger.

First of all, before he became stronger, it was very necessary to find a big helper. Jiang Beiran was going to trick this… No, he was going to arrange for Yin Jianghong to do it.

In short, he was going to use emotion and reason to persuade Yin Jianghong. He needed to teach Yin Jianghong what it meant to be friendly with the force far away and attack those who were close to them. With Yin Jianghong's intelligence and strength, he would definitely understand.

Having a big helper meant having a longer period of growth. On the Land of the Black Dragon, how could he stand up straight and fight for territory with others? It was very simple. He had to have a nuclear bomb… No, he had to have a mystic saint, and even a mystic emperor level powerhouse!

On this point, Jiang Beiran planned to start with people like Ye Fan and Li Fucheng, who were chosen by heaven and had the looks of the main characters. This was because when these heaven's sons were growing, those strong bad guys' intelligence would deteriorate as well.

Those bad guys would always only send subordinates that were one level stronger than them to deal with them. Then, these subordinates would be killed by them and become their experience points.

This was the strongest ability of the heaven's son! There was no one like them!

The strongest talent in history, the strongest disciple of the continent, and so on, could not be compared to armor plot of the main characters. They did not even have the qualifications to have a try.

Therefore, as long as Ye Fan and Li Fucheng were given enough time, Jiang Beiran believed that they would sooner or later grow into experts that the entire continent would fear. Of course, to completely subdue the heaven's sons for his own use was also a very difficult matter. Jiang Beiran also only regarded this option as the best option for Plan A.

If it didn't work, he still had other plans, but it wasn't as stable as Plan A.
