Returning to the fu, Ye Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she held the pitiful little bun and pleaded with Mo Xiuyao for him. Although Mo Xiaobao missed his mother very much, it wasn't to the point where he couldn't do anything but think about her day and night. In fact, after Mo Xiaobao left Mo Xiuyao's oppression and Mr. Qingyun doted on this great-grandson of his, it was completely different from how he was strict with Xu Qingchen and the other brothers. As a result, Mo Xiaobao was so pleased with himself that he was like a wild horse that was out of control. So much so that he forgot about the homework that Mo Xiuyao had assigned to him last night before he left and said that he would check when he came back.
This time, Mo Xiuyao didn't purposely make things difficult for Mo Xiaobao and gave him homework that he could complete. But the bad thing was that Mo Xiaobao was too smart. Smart people tend to be more scheming than others. So he procrastinated and when he found out that his father was about to return, he didn't even finish a third of his homework.
"Alright, split it into ten days and make up for the homework that your father gave you, understand?" Ye Li reached out and rubbed the child's small head as she said softly. In reality, Mo Xiaobao was so young that Ye Li didn't feel that giving him too much homework was a good thing. But since it was given, it must be completed. She couldn't let the child develop the mentality of slacking and getting lucky. Mo Xiaobao knew that he was in the wrong and carefully raised his eyelids to look at Ye Li. In a soft voice, he said: "Mother, this child knows his mistake." Ye Li nodded with a smile: "If you know your mistake and can change, then you're a good child."
"Then … then can this child go a few days later to accompany Taigong?" Mo Xiaobao said shyly. Ye Li couldn't help but smile: "Alright, we'll go see Taigong tomorrow and then tell Taigong that we'll go to the academy in a few days. But you can't be like this in the future. If you study with Taigong, you have to understand the principle of perseverance. You can't neglect your studies because of other things, understand? " Mo Xiaobao nodded obediently. Mo Xiuyao sat at the side and looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile: "If you don't know, then you don't need to study with your grandfather in the future. Father will let your uncle teach you, how about that?" Mo Xiaobao's face immediately fell. Compared with his eldest uncle, who was gentle and elegant but always made him a little scared, he preferred his great-grandfather, who was kind and benevolent.
Ye Li looked at the father and son helplessly. She could feel the unpleasing aura from a few hundred meters away. "Xiuyao, your injuries haven't healed yet. Rest for today. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow." Mo Xiuyao's expression relaxed as he nodded. Mo Xiaobao's eyes brighten, blinking his big eyes at Ye Li, "Niangqin, Xiaobao wants to sleep with Niangqin." Ye Li was about to answer, but Mo Xiuyao didn't hesitate to pick up Mo Xiaobao and put him on his lap. Looking down at him, he said: "Little brat, you're almost six years old and you still want to sleep with Li Li. Do you want to be laughed at?" Mo Xiaobao was dissatisfied, arguing with reason: "Father, you're already thirty years old, why do you still want to sleep with Niangqin?!"
"Pfft …" Ye Li finally couldn't hold back her laughter. Seeing the adult and child looking at her at the same time, she quickly waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing … I still have some things to deal with in the study. You guys can slowly discuss it." Saying this, she ran away under the two's stare.
"I want to sleep with Niangqin." Mo Xiaobao said firmly.
"Li Li is my wife. If you want someone to accompany you, go find your wife." Mo Xiuyao said.
"Niangqin is my mother. Go find your mother." Mo Xiaobao widened his big eyes.
Mo Xiuyao's mouth twitched, his expression fierce, "Only Niangqin can sleep with Niangqin. Those who sleep with Niangqin are all cowardly and useless little brats. "
Mo Xiaobao was conflicted, "Where's my Niangqin?"
Mo Xiuyao's expression was calm as he said calmly: "When you grow up, you can go find her yourself."
Outside the door, Ye Li heard the two's nonsensical conversation and turned to leave with a dark expression.
When Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao returned to Glass City, all kinds of administrative matters came crashing down. Although Xu Hongyu was there, there were still many things that required Mo Xiuyao to personally deal with. The first thing that came was the large amount of news regarding Ren Qining sent from Da Chu State. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao had already started preparing for the military exercise before they left Glass City.
In the study, Mo Xiuyao stared at the thick pile of documents in front of him and raised his eyebrows. The efficiency of the Prince Ding Mansion's intelligence network was very good. In less than a month, all kinds of news regarding Ren Qining had been sent to the Prince Ding Mansion's study. Looking at the information, even Mo Xiuyao couldn't help but marvel at how deeply Ren Qining had hidden himself. Ren Qining looked like a youth in his twenties, but in reality, he was the same age as Tan Jizhi. He was already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. To a normal person, this age was not considered young, but to a person who wanted to conquer the world, he was still too young. This person, Fang Twelve, had not taken a step into the Central Plains for more than twenty years after arriving at a tribe in Northern Jin. In these twenty years, he had slowly gained a foothold in the Northern Region. He had slowly subdued the various tribes in Northern Jin, essentially agreeing to the entire Northern Region. Without anyone, including the Prince Ding Mansion, noticing, he had quietly expanded the Northern Region into a place with more than a hundred thousand elite soldiers. To put it bluntly, even if Ren Qining could not succeed in reviving his country, his current strength was enough to make him king of the Northern Region. From this, it seemed that Tan Jizhi, who had been jumping around happily between the Da Chu State and Nanzhao, was more like a smokescreen that Ren Qining had placed in front of people. It was just unknown if this smokescreen was intentional or not.
"Leng Haoyu just sent news. Mo Jingqi is preparing to move troops to the Northern Region, "Xu Hongyu said calmly.
"Move troops to the Northern Region?" Mo Xiuyao frowned and looked sideways at Lu Jinxian and the other generals sitting on the side. He asked, "Can the Chu Army defeat the army of the Northern Region?" Lu Jinxian thought for a moment and said, "In terms of national strength and military strength, the Chu Army has no reason not to be able to defeat the Northern Region. But in recent years, the Northern Region has been in chaos and various tribes have gone on expeditions. Although the Northern Region only has a few hundred thousand troops, they can be said to be elite troops that have survived hundreds of battles. And although the Da Chu State fought a war a few years ago, its record is worrying. "
Feng Zhiyao laughed coldly, "What is the point of the Prince being concerned about whether or not he can win? Even if you are willing to send troops to help him pacify the Northern Jin, he wouldn't dare to let the Mohist army enter the pass. He has taken most of his troops to the front line at Hong Pass. " Mo Xiuyao smiled in a rare good-natured manner. "I am just worried that Mo Jingqi is too useless. If the Northern Region army really enters, it will not be a good thing for us." If he was worried about the safety of the Da Chu State, he would not have purposely provoked Mo Jingqi in An City. He only hoped that the generals under Mo Jingqi would not disappoint him too much.
Xu Qingchen said thoughtfully, "If there are no accidents, in at most three months, there will be battles between the North and the South. What are the Prince's plans? "
Mo Xiuyao smiled. "Plans? Shouldn't we be preparing for military exercises? Xiling will fight Nanzhao, and the Da Chu State will fight the Northern Region. Let's just play with ourselves. "Everyone was speechless. Playing with ourselves? Prince, you really have a good personality.
