Ye Li was also helpless. The most experienced soldier in the army, Marquis Nan, was sent out by her. As for the others, they were probably not as good as Feng Zhiyao, who had been learning from Mo Xiuyao since he was young. Even though she understood some of the meaning, for someone who was more familiar with modern warfare, it was very difficult to understand the essence of these ancient formations. No matter how many books on the art of war one read, it was useless if one could not truly integrate into the battlefield. Not everyone who read the Thirty-Six Stratagems of Sun Tzu's Art of War could become a famous general. Lowering her head to think, Ye Li said, "Try to avoid fighting face to face like this. How are the preparations for the matter I mentioned a few days ago? "
Feng Zhiyao nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged according to princess's wishes. Princess … "After hesitating, Feng Zhiyao asked," There is nothing important in Hongzhou right now. Will princess consider entering the pass first? "
"Entering the pass?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Feng Zhiyao behind her. His young and handsome face was filled with worry.
Ye Li shook her head and said, "I can't leave Hongzhou right now. If I'm not in Hongzhou, Jhennam Of Gojoseon might be able to detect our intentions. I'm here … to make him believe that the Mohist army will defend Hongzhou to the death. "
"But …" Feng Zhiyao said worriedly, "If it was before, I wouldn't be worried. Even if we were caught in a chaotic battle, with princess's abilities and Qi Lin, we would be able to escape safely. But now … if there is an accident … "Although it could not be seen now, the Princess Consort was pregnant after all. The battlefield was constantly changing, and no one knew what would happen. Ye Li said in a low voice, "Other than that, send someone to send Han Mingyue and Su Zuidie away. As for Qi Lin … I have other uses for it. "
Feng Zhiyao's face darkened. He stood firmly in front of Ye Li and said, "Qi Lin will be used to protect Wang Fei."
Ye Li raised her head and looked at him. She frowned and said, "This consort didn't train Qi Lin to be a bodyguard. Without them … the plan this time would have failed. Feng San, think carefully about the consequences of the several hundred thousand Xiling Army entering the pass before speaking to this consort again. "After she finished speaking, she no longer paid any attention to Feng Zhiyao. Ye Li turned around and walked down the tower. Feng Zhiyao sighed helplessly. How could he not know what Wang Fei was thinking? Not to mention the Xiling Army's invasion of the Central Plains, not to mention the damage to the Da Chu State's territory caused by the Xiling Army's invasion of the Central Plains, just the threat of the Mohist army in the Guannei Pass alone was enough for them to do their best to stop these bandits outside Hongzhou City. But … no matter what, they could not let anything happen to Wang Fei. Feng Zhiyao simply didn't dare to imagine what kind of reaction Mo Xiuyao would have if something happened to the princess consort.
"General Feng?" The subordinate following behind him reminded him in a low voice.
Feng Zhiyao rubbed his brows and said, "Increase the number of bodyguards by Wang Fei's side by two times. They don't have to do anything. Once Hongzhou City is breached, immediately escort Wang Fei out of the city!"
"Yes."
At this time, in the Imperial City of Da Chu State, the dazzling Imperial Palace was even colder and quieter than usual. In the Imperial Study, Mo Xiuyao's expression was dark as he stared at the man kneeling on the ground. He said coldly, "Mo Xiuyao has turned to the Guannei Pass and ordered Wang Fei to lead two hundred thousand soldiers to resist the Xiling Jhennam Of Gojoseon?" The man kneeling on the ground shuddered at the coldness in his voice. He said in a trembling voice, "Replying to Your Majesty, the news from the Northwest is like this … Wang Fei led the Mohist army guarding the Northwest and retreated to Hongzhou. I'm afraid she plans to have a decisive battle with the Xiling Army near Hongzhou … several generals near Hongzhou in the Guannei Pass have submitted petitions to support Wang Fei! "
"Shut up!" Mo Jingqi said coldly. Because of his rapid breathing, his chest was heaving up and down. Supporting Ding Wang Fei … After winning this battle, would Ding Wang Fei gain the reputation of not losing out to men? After so many years, he had finally crippled Mo Xiuyao. Who would have thought that not only did he stand up again, he even had a Wang Fei who could fight! "Ye Li …" Mo Jingqi regretted countless times in his heart. Why did he marry Ye Li to Mo Xiuyao back then? Suddenly, he thought of something. "How is the situation of the Xu family in Yunzhou?"
The kneeling official's heart tightened. He secretly glanced at the Emperor and carefully said, "The Xu family … Old Master Qing Yun and Master Hongyu are still teaching at Lishan Academy. There is nothing strange." His heart beat wildly. He suddenly had a feeling that the high and mighty Emperor might have gone crazy. The Xu family was the head of the world's scholars. If it was a peaceful time, it would be fine. But now, Da Chu state was filled with internal and external troubles. The Emperor actually wanted to make a move against the Xu family. It had to be known … at least half of the world's officials were Master Qing Yun's students. Furthermore, the Xu family had no evidence that the Emperor could use against them.
Mo Jingqi was silent for a long time before he finally spoke. "We understand. You may leave."
"Your Majesty … the Guannei Pass generals' petitions for battle …"
"Petitions for battle?" Mo Jingqi's cold voice made one's heart turn cold. "You may leave. We will deal with it."
"This official will leave."
Inside the Imperial Study
Mo Jingqi sat on the high throne. His expression was dark and gloomy. After a long time, he finally spoke. "Tell Marquis Muyang to immediately enter the palace to see us!" The servants in the imperial study knew that the Emperor's mood was not good. They did not dare to say anything and quickly turned to leave.
Marquis Muyang came quickly. In fact, ever since his only beloved son followed Consort Ding to the battlefield, he had not been at ease. Even the news of the Marquis Nan Manor, which had always been at odds with him, being raided and the Marquis Nan and his son dying an unnatural death did not make him feel at ease. The Marquis Muyang Manor was absolutely loyal to the Emperor. It was because of this that Mu Yang followed Princess Ding to the battlefield. Although he had received two letters from Mu Yang asking for his safety, what was the use? The northwest was thousands of miles away from the capital. If something really happened, by the time the Emperor sent people over, his son's corpse would have rotted away. More importantly, Marquis Muyang understood the young Emperor's personality very well. His paranoia was rare in the world. These days, Mu Yang did not report any news that was unfavorable to the Prince Ding Mansion. This was definitely not in line with the Emperor's original intention. At that time, the Emperor might even suspect that Mu Yang was colluding with the Prince Ding Mansion. At that time … … the Marquis Nan Manor would be the example of the Marquis Muyang Manor. Therefore, after receiving the news from the servants, Marquis Muyang only tidied up a little. He did not dare to delay and entered the palace to see the Emperor.
"This official greets the Emperor." Stepping into the imperial study, Marquis Muyang saw the Emperor's gloomy expression. His heart trembled. He did not delay and knelt on the ground to greet him.
He was obviously very satisfied with Marquis Muyang's respect. His gloomy expression eased a little. "My beloved official, you may rise." Mo Jingqi hated the fact that his officials had special rights and treatment. For example, the Ding Mansion. He had cursed more than once in his heart for the decree that his ancestors had passed down to the previous generations of Prince Ding and Princess Ding not to kneel in front of the Emperor. They were all his officials. Why did the Ding Mansion's people not have to kneel? For example, there were old officials above the age of seventy who were given the grace of not having to kneel in the palace. However, none of the old officials, including Duke Hua who had outstanding military achievements, had ever received this grace. Mo Jingqi enjoyed the feeling of all the servants kneeling in front of him.
