After completely annexing the Baji Empire, many army generals of the Zhou family thought that they should take the opportunity to directly attack the Barbarian Empire, even if they could not eat the Barbarian Empire with an area of up to 13 million square kilometers in one bite, they would have to bite off a piece of meat on the body of the Barbarian Empire.

Since he had just obtained Jidong Town, Jixi Town, and Jibei Town, Zhou Rui was not willing to continue to fight with the Tuban Empire, not to mention that the Tuban Empire still had the support of the Black Bear Empire behind him.

However, the Tuban Empire was not prepared to give up on the matter of the Zhou family's occupation of the Baji Empire, and continued to mobilize troops to the border areas close to the northern Hebei Town.

Since they wanted to fight, Zhou Rui could only accompany him to the end, so he also began to gather heavy troops in the territory of Jibei Town, and a larger-scale war could be described as imminent.

However, at this moment, several nodes in different time and space within the territory of the Barbarian Empire suddenly erupted in beast tides of unprecedented scale.

Originally, the Barbarian Empire had stationed heavy troops in various nodes in different time and space within the territory, but the number of fierce beasts that appeared in the beast tide this time was too large, and even many lord-level fierce beasts and king-level fierce beasts appeared.

In the end, several nodes in different time and space where the beast tide broke out in the Barbarian Empire were lost one after another, and the disaster of the beast tide spread to many regions of the Barbarian Empire at once.

At this time, the Tuban Empire did not have the heart to talk about any counter-attack on the Baji Empire, and the troops gathered in the border areas went to the areas where the beast tide was more serious.

The Black Bear Empire saw that the beast tide had broken out in the territory of the Barbarian Empire, and it was temporarily unable to attack the Baji Empire, so it took the initiative to find the Zhou family, hoping to mediate the contradiction between the Barbarian Empire and the Zhou family.

In fact, the Black Bear Empire is ostensibly mediating, but in fact it is a faint threat to the Zhou family not to take the opportunity to invade the Barbarian Empire.

Zhou Rui, who was unwilling to continue fighting with the Barbarian Empire, also agreed to the mediation of the Barbarian Empire, and unconditionally released tens of thousands of prisoners, including Yu Wenzhang, the squire of the Barbarian Empire, and Major General Gurney of the Black Bear Empire.

After the war with the Tuban Empire came to an end temporarily, Zhou Rui ordered the establishment of the Eastern Hebei Army, the Western Hebei Army and the Northern Hebei Army, the armies of these three feudal towns, the same as the army of other feudal towns of the Zhou family, all had 15 infantry divisions and several garrison regiments.

After adding three new feudal towns to the Han and Tang Empires, the other forces of the Han and Tang Empires couldn't help but be more jealous of the Zhou family, and the Southwest Alliance and the Northwest Alliance, which bordered several feudal towns of the Zhou family, even secretly began secret contacts, preparing to form a more extensive alliance against the Zhou family.

Just when the situation of the Zhou family was very good, a big explosion occurred in the Jiedu Mansion of the Eleventh Town of Ganyang City, and Zhou Rui, who was also the envoy of the Eleventh Town, was seriously injured in the head in this explosion.

Zhou Xiaozheng, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Zhou Rui, who was still unconscious on the bed, turned his head to Zhou Xiaorong and asked, "What did the doctor say?" ”

Zhou Xiaorong said with a gloomy face: "The doctor said that Da Shuai's life is not in danger, but ...... But ......"

Zhou Xiaozheng asked in a deep voice, "But what?" ”

"However, Dashuai's head was seriously injured, and the doctor has no way to determine whether he can wake up."

Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "Did you find out, who did this?" ”

Zhou Xiaorong sighed and said: "I only found out that the murderer dug a tunnel nearly 3 kilometers long, and above the end point, it happened to be the study where the marshal often worked.

Then the murderer placed a large amount of explosives at the end of the tunnel, if it wasn't for the fact that the marshal happened to leave the study at that time, maybe the moment it broke out, the marshal's life would have been gone. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng said angrily: "I actually let people dig such a long tunnel under the ground of Jiedu Mansion, what are the first and second foxes doing to eat!" ”

Zhou Xiaorong said with a wry smile: "Big brother, the news that the marshal was seriously injured has been published in the newspapers, and now only if you stand up again can you stabilize the morale of the army and the people." ”

Zhou Xiaozheng snorted coldly, "The 11 feudal towns of the Zhou family are the rivers and mountains that my son brought down, and they will be passed on to my grandson in the future, I want to see who dares to jump out at this time!" ”

At this time, Wen Yu, Liu Yiqiu and Chu Yingying, who were crying and red-eyed, walked in, Wen Yu saw her husband and hurriedly asked, "How is my son?" What do doctors say? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng said slowly: "The doctor said that my son is no longer in danger of life, but I don't know when I will wake up." ”

When Wen Yu heard this, tears couldn't stop flowing again, "Son, you must wake up, if you can't wake up, how can your mother live!" Woohoo......"

Liu Yiqiu and Chu Yingying also cried.

Zhou Xiaozheng then said to Liu Yiqiu: "I will temporarily replace Zhou Rui to control the overall situation."

Zhou's Bank is our Zhou family's money bag, and now Zhou Rui is unconscious, I don't know what will happen next, so Zhou's Bank must remain stable! ”

Liu Yiqiu wiped her tears and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured, the gold and silver reserves of Zhou's Bank are very sufficient, and there will never be any chaos." ”

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, "As long as there are no problems in the financial aspect, then our Zhou family's 11 feudal towns will not be in chaos." ”

Then Zhou Xiaozheng said to Wen Yu and Chu Yingying, "Yiqiu needs to manage Zhou's Bank.

Zhou Rui and the three children, you two need to worry more, I believe that Zhou Rui will definitely wake up! ”

Chu Yingying gave birth to another daughter to Zhou Rui last year, so now Zhou Rui has three children.

In a private house in Xiushui City, the capital of Fengwu Town, Cui Wentao put down the newspaper with a regretful face, "It's just a little bit worse, otherwise Zhou Rui would have been blown to pieces." ”

Liu Menglu, who was holding Cui Wentao's arm, immediately said in a coquettish voice: "According to the information we received, although Zhou Rui was not killed on the spot, he was smashed in the head, and he may only be able to lie in bed as a vegetative person for the rest of his life."

Wen Tao, you finally avenged the Cui family, what are your plans next? ”

"It's not enough to just make Zhou Rui a vegetative person, if I can't eradicate the power of the entire Zhou family, I won't be reconciled."

"But now the Zhou family controls 11 feudal towns, and not only has millions of elite armies under their command, but also has an astonishing southwest coastal defense fleet.

Even those beast countries are very jealous of the Zhou family, and it is not easy to eradicate the Zhou family! ”

"If you don't try, how do you know if you can't do it, let's go to Heavenly Saint City next."

Liu Menglu sighed secretly in her heart, but said on her lips: "Wen Tao, no matter what you decide, I support you." ”

The subsequent ups and downs faced by the Zhou family have nothing to do with Zhou Rui for the time being.

No one could have thought that Zhou Rui, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, was left with only a soulless body, and Zhou Rui's soul had been transferred to another time and space by the lottery system.
