Mo Jingli was the first to know about Jhennam Of Gojoseon's movements. No matter how stupid Mo Jingli was, he still remembered that Jiangnan was the capital that allowed him to settle down. Moreover, Mo Jingli was never a true idiot. He was just not smart enough compared to some people. Therefore, the moment he received news of Jhennam Of Gojoseon's movements, Mo Jingli ordered Murong Shen, who was leading troops north, to stop Jhennam Of Gojoseon from going south. Murong Shen had led troops north because the troops in the north had been badly beaten up by Jhennam Of Gojoseon. He had originally come to settle accounts with Lei Zhenting. Naturally, he did not care where he would settle accounts with him. After receiving Mo Jingli's order, he immediately led the army that was originally heading north to the southeast. He wanted to block the front of the Xiling Army.
Even after making these plans, Mo Jingli still could not be at ease. He secretly ordered his confidants to secretly prepare to move the capital to the south. He completely did not think about the lives of the soldiers who were still fighting the north and the Northern Tribes. However, Mo Jingli's actions were not truly hidden from everyone. Very quickly, a secret letter was sent to Zijing Pass in the northeast of the Chu capital.
At Zijing Pass, the battles that were getting more and more difficult by the day caused Lenghuai to grow much older and thinner in the past month. The army in the north seemed to know that the Da Chu State was an arrow at the end of its flight. Ever since the Northern Tribes entered the pass, they began to attack even more crazily. Lenghuai had reason to believe that the Northern Tribes and the Northern Tribes had secretly colluded long ago. However, the rations that the Chu capital sent to Zijing Pass were decreasing by the day. Ever since the new Emperor ascended the throne, the rations for this month had been delayed for ten days and still had not arrived. If there was still no rations after ten days, the Da Chu State would lose without a fight even if the Northern Tribes did not attack.
"Father, what's the matter?" Leng Haoyu, who was suddenly called into the study, looked at his old father with a leisurely and unruly expression, as if he couldn't understand where his father's worries came from. Lenghuai was infuriated by his calm demeanor. He didn't know when it started, but this son of his had always acted like he didn't care about anything even if the sky fell down. Although Lenghuai already knew that Leng Haoyu wasn't really that kind of playboy, he still couldn't help but want to get angry when he saw him like this.
"What's with the grin on your face!" Lenghuai said in a deep voice.
Leng Haoyu pursed his lips. Could it be that he wanted to be like Eldest Leng, who had a sullen face all day long, as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver? Rolling his eyes, Leng Haoyu said, "Father, what's the matter? I'm going to accompany Ting 'er to play. "Lenghuai's veins on his forehead throbbed." Play? What time is it now? You still have time to play with your wife? What's wrong with your wife? You're not sensible, and she's not sensible either? She's always fooling around! "
Leng Haoyu didn't care if he was criticized, but it was not okay if his wife was criticized. Leng Haoyu said unhappily, "What's wrong with my wife? She can take care of the family, have children, do business with me, and accompany me to the battlefield. Even if she's not as good as Princess Ding, she's not bad. Can your wife do it? Can your eldest daughter-in-law do it? " As he spoke, Leng Haoyu gradually became complacent, as if he felt that his wife was really very good.
Lenghuai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw him like this. He said helplessly, "I didn't call you here to hear you brag about your wife!"
"Am I bragging? I'm telling the truth, okay? "Leng Haoyu muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, wasn't it you who started it? Why didn't you say it earlier? "What's the matter? Father, just say it."
Lenghuai frowned and said in a deep voice, "What happened in the capital? Don't say you don't know. I know you have another source of information. " Leng Haoyu couldn't help but smile at him. He raised his head and asked, "Then father, do you know where my source of information came from? Do you really want to use it? If you use it, what will you use to return it? "
"This …" Lenghuai was speechless, although Leng Haoyu never said anything. However, Leng Haoyu didn't deliberately hide anything from him in the past few months. He more or less guessed what his son had been doing all these years. Although he was shocked and angry at his son's boldness and recklessness, on the other hand, as a father, he also felt proud and relieved that his son could have such ability and achievements without the help of his family. Leng Haoyu wasn't in a hurry. He smiled and waited for his father to make a decision.
After a long while, Lenghuai glared at him angrily and said, "You're my son. As a father, do I have to pay for asking you for information?"
Leng Haoyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with some ridicule. He didn't make things difficult and shrugged, "Actually, it's nothing. Jhennam Of Gojoseon's road back to Xiling was cut off by Prince Ding. He planned to abandon his hometown and go to Jiangnan to snatch Prince Li's territory. Of course, Prince Li wasn't willing to give up his territory so easily, so he was secretly preparing to return to Jiangnan. If he wants to return to Jiangnan, he naturally has to bring many things and even military forces back. How would he have the time to care about your small Zijing Pass? Anyway, Prince Li isn't the emperor. Even if the capital is gone, there's still the prosperous land of Jiangnan. It's not a loss to him. "
"What?" Leng Haoyu said it casually, but Lenghuai's face turned pale when he heard it, "How is that possible? Doesn't Prince Li know that once the capital is lost, more than half of the Da Chu State will be finished? "
Leng Haoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you asking me if you don't believe me? So what if Prince Li doesn't give up? The Northern Tribes have already entered the pass. It won't be long before they attack the Chu capital. When that time comes, can your Zijing Pass still hold on? If you retreat then, I'm afraid that Mo Jingli won't even be able to keep Jiangnan. Of course, he has to leave first. When he goes to Jiangnan, he doesn't need to be a regent. When the young emperor is killed by the Northern Tribes or the Northern Region, he can directly ascend to the throne and become the emperor. "
Lenghuai was speechless. Although Leng Haoyu's words were crude and unadorned, they undoubtedly hit the nail on the head. But how could he be willing to give up the Zijing Pass that he had defended for so long, especially when he knew the consequences of giving up?
"Then why did you come? Prince Ding naturally has his own plans for you to come, right? Does Prince Ding really want to watch the Da Chu State fall? "Since things had reached this point, Lenghuai didn't avoid Leng Haoyu's identity anymore.
Leng Haoyu's expression immediately turned ugly. He sneered, "Why did I come? Who asked you to run to the battlefield at such an old age so recklessly? Generally speaking, I wanted to see if I should collect your corpse or Leng Qingyu's. As for Prince Ding, you can give up. Prince Ding is in Xi Ling right now. Even if he changes his mind, he can't grow wings and fly back. " No matter what Mo Xiuyao was thinking, Leng Haoyu appeared here because he was worried that his father would accidentally kill him on the battlefield. He didn't expect the other party to not appreciate it at all. It was no wonder that Leng Haoyu's expression turned ugly.
Lenghuai also knew that he had been too anxious and said too much, so he didn't care that Leng Haoyu's words were unpleasant. Looking at his son's ugly expression, he couldn't help but sigh. "Forget it. In a few days, bring Ting 'er back to the capital." Leng Haoyu raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
