Mo Xiuyao reached out and pulled her tightly into his embrace. The man who had never cried before felt his eyes grow wet and hot, but he did not want his wife to discover his weakness at this moment. Sometimes … … love did not need to be expressed with words. Sometimes, there were words and things that could express its meaning better than the word itself.
"Li Li … …"
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She raised her hand to return his embrace. "You don't trust me?"
Mo Xiuyao shook his head. "In this world, if I can't even trust Li Li, then who can I trust?"
"If that's the case, then don't worry and do what you need to do." Ye Li held his shoulder and raised her head to speak seriously. She was not the type to cling to others. Even if she did not want to separate, she knew that there were some things that had to be done. Since that was the case, she would protect this vast land in the northwest for him, so that he would no longer have to worry about anything. The burden that the heavens had placed on this man's shoulders was already heavy enough. Since she had chosen him, then let her share some of his burden. "Li Li, when this war is over, no one can let you leave my side." Mo Xiuyao gritted his teeth and kissed the fragrant lips of the person in his embrace fiercely. They kissed deeply until both of them were out of breath. Ye Li laughed softly. "I won't stay under your wing forever, Mo Xiuyao. If I've decided on someone, then I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with him." Mo Xiuyao trapped her in his embrace and said unhappily, "You've never hidden under my wing. But … … I look forward to the life I'll walk shoulder to shoulder with Li Li. "
After sending off Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li stood on the city gate tower of Xinyang and gazed at the departing figure in the distance. Mo Xiuyao did not take Xinyang's soldiers with him because Xinyang, like the entire northwest, was facing hundreds of thousands of strong enemies. Only Lu Jinxian and a few other generals followed him to the new battlefield. Feng San, who had always been by his side and could be considered his most trusted aide, was left behind in Xinyang.
Han Mingyue stood at a corner of the city gate tower, looking at the elegant woman standing by the battlements of the city wall and gazing into the distance. An extremely complicated look flashed in her eyes. It was as if he was envious, relieved, and disappointed.
"Prince Ding is not worried at all." Han Mingyue sighed softly as she walked to Ye Li's side.
Ye Li glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "I am his wife. If I can't make him feel at ease, who else can?" Han Mingyue raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile: "This time is different from that time in Yonglin. Jhennam Of Gojoseon is not King Li. Is Wang Fei not afraid at all?" Ye Li turned around and looked at him with a shadow of a smile: "If being afraid can solve problems, then … I am very afraid." Finished speaking, she did not pay attention to what Han Mingyue wanted to say. She said to Feng San standing not far away, "Send people to support General Yuan Pei. Also, disperse the army to various parts of the northwest. Xinyang does not need so many people. " Feng Zhiyao frowned slightly and said with some disagreement: "Wang Fei, if we disperse the army, I'm afraid it will not be good for defending Xinyang." Ye Li said lightly: "Who said we are defending Xinyang? What we need to do is to keep Jhennam Of Gojoseon and his hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northwest so that he has no time to mess with the Prince. As for Xinyang … other than the Mohist army, how many citizens are there in the city? Chaos was about to break out. How many people would pay attention to this northwestern town? From now on … the Central Plains is the most important stage in the world. "
Feng Zhiyao was silent for a moment. He then raised his hands and said: "This general obeys."
Seeing Feng Zhiyao turn and leave, Han Mingyue smiled and sighed. "Feng San has always been proud. Other than Xiuyao, he would not listen to anyone. I didn't think that he would be completely convinced by Wang Fei." Not only Feng Zhiyao, even he was shocked by the courage and decisiveness of the woman in front of him who was not even twenty. He finally understood why the cold-hearted Mo Xiuyao would value this Princess Ding so much. This kind of woman was enough to intoxicate the heroes of the world.
Watching Ye Li walk down the tower, Han Mingyue looked at a certain place in the tower and said lightly: "Do you understand the difference between you and her now?"
In the shadows, Su Zuidie silently walked out. Her beautiful face was filled with darkness and unwillingness. It was not just because of Mo Xiuyao's trust in Ye Li, but also because she clearly knew that she did not have Ye Li's ability and courage. Seeing Ye Li calmly command the army and give orders, she envied and even yearned to have that kind of power. But she also knew deep in her heart that she did not have that kind of power. Just like how she, who had been raised in the boudoir and fought all over the palace, could not understand every order that Ye Li gave. She snorted unwillingly and said: "So what?"
Han Mingyue was speechless. After a moment of silence, she said: "Let's go. When the war ends, we will leave here. Don't do anything unnecessary. If you anger Princess Ding, even I cannot save you. "
Su Zuidie gritted her teeth and glared at Han Mingyue for a moment. In the end, she did not say anything.
Mo Xiuyao's departure meant that the temporary peace in Suncreed City was no longer there. On the city gate tower, the Mohist army soldiers were waiting in formation. They were extremely vigilant against the Xiling Army that was eyeing them like a tiger watching its prey. In accordance with Ye Li's orders, Feng Zhiyao had secretly sent most of the Mohist army out of Suncreed City. Jhennam Of Gojoseon may or may not have discovered it. Or perhaps he thought that a Suncreed City without many guards was more in line with his interests. Almost every day, there were large and small battles outside Suncreed City. But the Xiling Army that had been unstoppable before had never been able to step into the city gates like last time. The news from all over the northwest and the Mohist army that seemed to have suddenly spread throughout the northwest made Jhennam Of Gojoseon frown even though he had received the news that Mo Xiuyao was surrounded by nearly eight hundred thousand soldiers. He had already understood the true intentions of the woman who appeared on the city gate tower from time to time and indifferently looked down at the bloody storm below. But at this time … he could no longer withdraw. If he did not completely take down the northwest, his plan to encroach on the Central Plains would be foiled. What made him even more furious was that even the news of Mo Xiuyao being surrounded by a large number of soldiers did not cause the woman in the city to lose her composure in the slightest. While occasionally mocking Mo Xiuyao for marrying such a cruel and heartless wife, he could not help but secretly speculate on what kind of woman she was.
On the city gate tower, Ye Li had finished dealing with military and government affairs as usual. She climbed up the city gate tower and gazed at the billowing banners of the Xiling camp in the distance.
"Wangfei …" Feng Zhiyao climbed up the city gate tower. Looking at the slender and gentle figure of the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh inside. Only people like him, her trusted aides, knew what kind of pressure and burden this young woman was shouldering. At the same time, the woman's tenacity and decisiveness caused the entire Mohist army to be even more convinced. Because she was Ye Li, and not because she was Princess Ding.
Ye Li turned her head and smiled faintly. "Feng San, is something the matter?"
Feng Zhiyao frowned as he looked at her slightly pale face. He said worriedly, "Wangfei's body does not seem well these days. Should we have a doctor take a look?" Ye Li shook her head and said, "I'm just a little tired. If Xiling Jhennam Of Gojoseon was so easy to deal with, then he would not be called the War God of Xiling. I am also very nervous. "
