After kowtowing, Mo Xiu Yao helped Ye Li up and sat down at a place not far away from the grave. He held Ye Li's shoulder and said leisurely, "Everyone thought that Eldest Brother's remains were buried in the ancestral grave of King Ding's residence in the capital. But that's not the case. That year when I rushed to the border, big brother's remains had already been cremated. So, I replaced him. Big brother's real remains are buried here. I want him to stay here and watch. One day, I will take revenge for him and the soldiers of the Mo Family Army who died in vain. "
Ye Li held his hand and smiled: "You did it. Big brother will be very happy." Mo Xiuyao was a little confused: "I don't know if big brother will be happy. But … big brother will never come back. " He had always wanted to take revenge, but when it was time to take revenge, his heart was filled with loneliness and emptiness. When Mo Jingqi died, Mo Xiuyao already had this feeling. Now, this feeling of emptiness was even stronger. Because, even if he killed all his enemies, the dead would never come back.
"Xiuyao …" Ye Li called out worriedly.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I still have you, the Prince Ding Mansion, and the Mohist army." Holding Ye Li's hand with a smile, and looking at the rarely seen obedient Mo Xiaobao beside him, Mo Xiuyao felt warmth in his heart. Luckily … luckily there was Li, their child, and their family. Otherwise, Mo Xiuyao would not know what to do with his life after taking revenge.
Mo Xiaobao pouted, his eyes turning as he threw himself into Mo Xiuyao's arms: "Father, you still have me and my little brother and sister. When I grow up, I will help you destroy the Northern Tribes. "
Mo Xiuyao looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Is that so? I'll be waiting. "
Mo Xiaobao snorted unhappily, "Imperial Father is looking down on me! Just you wait, when I grow up, I will definitely destroy the Northern Tribes for you to see! "Mo Xiuyao nodded and said," That's right, aren't I just waiting to see? "
Mo Xiaobao deeply felt that he was being looked down upon by his father. He was so angry that he started shouting. Grabbing onto Mo Xiuyao and refusing to let go, Ye Li couldn't help but smile as she watched the father and son quarrel. She said softly, "Do you want to move big brother's remains back to the Chu capital?"
Mo Xiuyao shook his head and smiled, "No need, just stay here. In the future … "In the future, the Mo family's ancestral grave might not be in the Chu capital. Moreover, it was much quieter here. Don't you see that there aren't many nobles, generals, ministers, and emperors' mausoleums, all of them dazzling with gold and jade and rich enough to rival a country? Waiting for the rise and fall of the dynasty would only benefit the grave robbers.
In the past year, there had been many major events. At the end of the year, the Regent of Da Chu State, Mo Jingli, who had settled down in Jiangnan, finally ascended the throne. Before the end of the year, there was another earth-shattering event in the north. The million-strong army that attacked Da Chu State was completely destroyed by the Mohist army. Not a single person returned to the Northern Tribes. When this news came out, the world was shocked. Many citizens of Da Chu State who had been forced to move were in tears, secretly planning to return to the north. Unfortunately, although the Northern Tribes had been destroyed, the north was still fighting. The King of Chu, Mo Jingli, who had ascended the throne less than half a month ago, led seven hundred thousand troops to the north, vowing to reclaim the land.
At this time, the Xiling Army led by Lei Zhenting had already broken through Ruichang and surrounded Wei City. Wei City was in danger.
Wei City.
On the city gate tower, Marquis Nan and Murong Shen sat facing each other, each playing a game of chess. Below the city gate tower, several li away was the Xiling Army's camp. Banners could be seen fluttering in the army camp. Even from afar, one could feel a monstrous fighting spirit.
Murong Shen shook his head and helplessly threw down a chess piece, saying, "Marquis Nan, you can really keep your composure. I've never liked these things. "Marquis Nan looked up and smiled, saying," General Murong, please be patient. "
Murong Shen said impatiently, "Ruichang has already been lost. Now that Lei Zhenting's army has surrounded Wei City, we can't do anything. How can I be patient?" Marquis Nan smiled, saying, "The situation is much better than expected, isn't it? Master I originally said that it would be good if we could defend Feihong Pass in three months. Now it's been more than two months, and Wei City is still in our hands. This means that the situation is not beyond Prince's expectations. Our military strength is not as good as Lei Zhenting's, and our military strategy is also inferior to his. General Murong, why do you blame yourself? "
Murong Shen sighed and looked at Marquis Nan embarrassedly, saying, "It's me who can't bear it. It's … I've been on the battlefield for half my life. It's the first time that I've been suppressed and beaten without any resistance. " Murong Shen had fought hundreds of battles in his life. Of course, there were victories and defeats. But this was the first time that he had been beaten to the point of being unable to raise his head. It was inevitable that he was upset.
Marquis Nan smiled, saying, "Lei Zhenting is known as the West-Hill War God. In his life, he has only been defeated by the former Prince Regent and the current Princess Ding. If it weren't for him, why would Prince take the risk of destroying the Northern Tribes first so that he could focus on Lei Zhenting? "As for Mo Jingli's Da Chu State, to be honest, the Mohist army did not really care about it. Half of Da Chu State's famous generals were now in the Prince Ding Mansion. In these years, they had not heard of any outstanding young generals. Mo Jingli was not inferior to Mo Jingqi's paranoia. He would only firmly hold the military power in his hands to prevent a second Prince Ding Mansion from appearing in Da Chu State to take away his military power.
Murong Shen nodded, saying, "Thank you for your reminder, Marquis Nan."
Marquis Nan patted his shoulder and smiled, saying, "Just relax. No matter what, we have to stay in Wei City until Prince comes back. No matter what, we can't go to Feihong Pass and cause trouble for General Yuan, right? "Murong Shen nodded and smiled, saying," Marquis Nan is right. "
"Reporting to Marquis Nan, General Murong. There's an urgent message from eight hundred li! "At the bottom of the city tower, a soldier hurried up and handed over a sealed letter. Marquis Nan took it and opened it. He was overjoyed. Seeing his strange expression, Murong Shen quickly asked, "Is there any good news from Prince's side?" Marquis Nan nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, Prince has wiped out the Northern Tribes Army in Huifeng Valley. He killed the Seventh Prince of the Northern Tribes and captured Helian Zhen alive. "
Hearing this news, Murong Shen was also very excited. Although they had now submitted to the Prince Ding Mansion, they were still citizens of Da Chu State. Their hatred for the Northern Tribes was no less than anyone else's. Now that they heard the news that Prince Ding had wiped out the Northern Tribes Army, they could not help but feel relieved. Marquis Nan pulled Murong Shen back and smiled, saying, "General, it's urgent. Prince will arrive in a few days. But before that … the news can't be leaked. "
Murong Shen understood. He looked up and glanced at the West-Hill Barracks in the distance and smiled, saying, "Marquis Nan, don't worry. I promise that even a bird won't be able to fly over the top of the city walls." The two of them looked at each other and could not help but stand up and laugh. The soldiers guarding outside heard the laughter of the two commanders. Although they did not know why the two commanders were so happy, they could not help but feel relieved.
In the West-Hill Barracks, Lei Zhenting frowned and looked at the reports in front of him. He glanced at the generals below and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news from the Northern Tribes?" Lei Tengfeng stepped forward and said, "Father, there has been no news from the Northern Tribes in the past few days. Now that the north is bitterly cold, I'm afraid that the Mohist army and the Northern Tribes Army are moving slowly. It is normal that there is no news. "
