Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 262: Heaven and Earth Join Forces

"The child cannot live without his mother, and I cannot live without you!" Zhong Yiyu cried, and crystal tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

The room fell silent again, with only Zhong Yi's soft sobs and the crackling sound of the burning candlelight echoing in the air.

Seeing Zhong Yi's tears, Yun Xiu's head finally cooled down. She quickly comforted Zhong Yi, saying, "I was wrong, Ayi, don't cry."

Zhong Yi wiped his eyes and looked at her quietly, "A Xiu, you have divine power, why do you want to fight with your physical body? Be rational, there must be other ways."

What Ayi said made sense. Why would she fight with her physical body? There must be other ways.

The dim candlelight was still swaying in the room, and the dancing light and shadow flickered on the two people's faces, reflecting their complex expressions.

Yunxiu broke free from the restraints on her hands, placed her hands on either side of Zhong Yi's body, and pushed him down on the bed, staring straight at him. "Ayi, tell me in detail, how big is the gap between Chu's weapons and ours?"

Zhong Yi looked at Yunxiu who was so close to him, feeling mixed emotions.

He adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly, "A Xiu, the Chu State has made tremendous breakthroughs in the research, development, and manufacture of weapons. Take long-range weapons, for example. Their newly developed crossbows have a range nearly one-third greater than our Yun State's, and their accuracy is extremely high. On the battlefield, our soldiers were hit by their crossbows before they even got close."

Yunxiu frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She asked, "Is it just the improvement in range and accuracy? Are there any other differences?"

Zhong Yi nodded and continued, "Of course, there's more to it than that. The Chu Kingdom's armor has also been improved, using a special alloy material that's not only lightweight but also extremely defensive. Our Yun Kingdom soldiers' swords and knives can hardly cause any substantial damage to them. On the contrary, their weapons are sharper and can easily pierce our armor. This generational gap in weaponry will bring a huge disadvantage on the battlefield."

Yunxiu's eyes revealed a hint of confusion. She loosened her hands from pressing on Zhong Yi, sat up, and muttered to herself, "How could this happen... Are we really hopeless?"

Zhong Yi also sat up, gently holding Yun Xiu's hand, and comforted her, "Ah Xiu, it's not completely hopeless. Although we lag behind in weaponry and equipment, we also have our own advantages. Yun Country is our home turf. Every mountain and river, every sunny day, every rain and snow, all belong to Yun Country. Human power can hardly influence the overall situation on the battlefield. But the power of heaven and earth is beyond human control."

Yunxiu frowned as she listened to Zhong Yi's words.

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

What Zhong Yi said was that heaven and earth work together to take advantage of the special weather and geographical environment to defeat the enemy.

Zhong Yi suddenly said quietly, "During spring and summer, Yun Country experiences heavy rain. It would be great if a sudden flash flood broke out and submerged the Chu army camp."

Yunxiu smiled and said, "Ayi's idea is really great. Natural disasters are cruel. I hope God can be on our side."

Yunxiu brand wishing machine, late but here it comes.

Yunxiu tried to use the system last time. It would take ten years to change the weather in Lingyun City, but the system didn't let her use it last time.

This time, she would use the Word Spirit even if it cost her ten years of life.

Yunxiu said, "It has been raining heavily all night. Mountain torrents and mudslides will break out at night, destroying the Chu army camp and causing heavy losses to the Chu army."

Yunxiu waited quietly for the system to announce the price, however, nothing happened!

Yunxiu was shocked.

[No price? Why?] Yunxiu asked the system.

The system also fell silent.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, and the dim yellow light made the figures of the two people on the bed appear vaguely on the wall.

Yunxiu's eyes were fixed on Zhong Yi's, but Zhong Yi did not look at her.

Lin Zichen can remember his past life, so why can't Zhong Yi remember anything in his dreams?

Yunxiu's eyes were full of inquiry. "Ayi, you don't seem right today. Did you remember something?"

Zhong Yi was slightly startled, his eyes subconsciously dodging for a moment, then he met Yun Xiu's gaze again, a forced smile playing on the corner of his mouth: "A Xiu, why do you say that suddenly? What can I remember? Everything is the same as usual."

Yunxiu wasn't fooled by his perfunctory answer. She frowned slightly, her tone more determined, "Ayi, we've known each other for so long, I can detect something strange in your every move. When you talked about Chu's weapons today, your analysis was so thorough, as if you knew everything about it. This is definitely not something you could achieve with just your daily research."

She paused and took a deep breath. "Ayi, I have never hidden anything from you, and you can't hide anything from me."

Zhong Yi's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing this, Yunxiu's doubts grew even stronger. She gently moved forward, slowly wrapping her arms around Zhong Yi's waist and resting her head on his chest, feeling his pounding heartbeat. Her voice was filled with tenderness, "Ayi, I know you must be hiding something. Whatever it is, are you willing to tell me? We are the closest people to each other, what can't we share? It hurts me if you keep your worries bottled up."

Zhong Yi was silent for a long time. The room was so quiet that only the crackling sound of the burning candle and the intertwined breathing of the two people could be heard.

Finally, he slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Yunxiu's hair, his voice low and hoarse: "A Xiu, actually... I have had some strange dreams recently. In my dreams, I saw many scenes I had never seen before, and those scenes were so real that they scared me."

Yunxiu suddenly raised her head, her eyes gleaming with surprise. "Really? Ah Yi, tell me, what was in your dream?"

Zhong Yi's eyes revealed a trace of confusion and bewilderment, and he slowly said, "I dreamed of a tragic war. The battlefield was filled with smoke and the soldiers' shouts were deafening.

The Chu army launched a fierce attack on our Yun State's defense line like a flood and a beast.

The weapons they used were so powerful that our soldiers were unable to resist them.

And I, standing on the battlefield, watched my comrades fall one by one, but was powerless to do anything…” At this point, his voice choked, his eyes full of pain and self-blame.

Yunxiu held Zhong Yi's hand tightly, giving him strength and comfort: "Ayi, this is just a dream, don't be too sad. What happened next? Was there anything else in the dream?"

Zhong Yi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and continued, "Later, I saw a mysterious man. He was wearing a black robe, and I couldn't see his face clearly. He walked up to me and told me that I had the mission to save the Yun Kingdom and that only I could change its fate. Then, he disappeared, and I woke up from my dream."

Yunxiu leaned in Zhong Yi's arms, lost in thought. After a while, she raised her head and said firmly, "Ayi, I'm not in your dream, right?"

Zhong Yi looked up in surprise, "A Xiu? How did you know?"

Yunxiu stroked his cascading black hair and said, "Everything will be different this time, Ayi. Let's change this together."

He hugged Yunxiu tightly and nodded vigorously: "Yeah."

So, Zhong Yi became the ruler of Yun State and changed the system of male superiority and female inferiority in Yun State. But then, the Chu army attacked, and Yun State was weak, so was it destroyed by Chu?

Yunxiu didn't expect that the war between Chu and Yun would be brought forward.

The butterfly effect, it turns out that she, Zhou Jing, was involved in it.
