Feihong Pass
Because of the fall of the Acropolis, the Mohist army retreated to the front lines of Feihong Pass and Lingjiu Mountain. Old General Yuan Pei, who was stationed at Feihong Pass, was also very happy to see Prince Ding and Princess Consort. Although the old general was not afraid of dying on the battlefield, he knew that he was old and his energy was not as good as before. It would be even more difficult to defeat Jhennam Of Gojoseon. Now that Prince Ding and Princess Consort had rushed back and saved millions of people in Feihong Pass from the disaster of war, the old general was naturally very happy.
After welcoming Ye Li and the others into Feihong Pass and sitting down, Marquis Nan and Murong Shen both knelt down and asked for forgiveness, "Prince, please punish us for the loss of the Acropolis."
Mo Xiuyao helped the two up with a smile and said, "There is no need to be like this. This battle was not your fault. If I had not delayed, how could the Acropolis have fallen? If that's the case, shouldn't this prince be punished first? "
Marquis Nan quickly said, "Prince has his reasons for delaying. Prince naturally has his reasons. Losing Ruichang and the Acropolis is my fault for being useless. "
Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said, "Marquis Nan and General Murong, there is no need to be like this. This matter is not your fault. If you had not tried your best to resist Lei Zhenting, I am afraid that I would not have had the time to wipe out the Northern Tribes army so successfully. If you insist on asking for forgiveness, won't people say that I did not reward and punish you? "
Seeing that Mo Xiuyao really did not blame them, the two quickly thanked him. Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "You two have worked hard these days. Sit down."
General Yuan Pei, who was sitting on the side, could not hold back and quickly asked, "Prince, Prince really wiped out the Northern Tribes army?"
Mo Xiuyao nodded and smiled, "That's right."
Feng Zhiyao, who was seated below, quickly recounted the events of the battle with the Northern Tribes with a smile. When Old General Yuan Pei heard that the Northern Tribes army had been completely annihilated, and that Helian Zhen had been killed, tears streamed down his face as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude. Marquis Nan nodded and laughed, "Once this news is out, the morale of our Mohist army will definitely be boosted. Now that the Prince and Princess Consort are back, why should we fear the Xiling Army? "
Mo Xiuyao nodded in satisfaction. "That's great. However, Mo Jingli had already led 800,000 Da Chu State troops to the north. I wonder which general is going to meet the enemy? "
The hall fell silent. A trace of hesitation flashed across Murong Shen and Marquis Nan's faces. Even though they had already surrendered to the Mohist army, they were still once subjects of the Da Chu State. Furthermore, no matter if it was the Mohist army soldiers or the Da Chu State soldiers, they were all once subjects of the Da Chu State. Killing each other was not as satisfying as fighting an enemy.
Mo Xiuyao glanced at the two's expressions and understood. He did not force them. If these two did not have any hesitation about the Da Chu State troops, he would be worried. He turned to look at Ye Li and asked, "What does Miss Li think we should do?"
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Why not let General Lu Jinxian lead 400,000 troops?" Lu Jinxian and Zhang Qilan were known as the two pillars of the Mohist army. Whether it was ability or prestige, they were definitely capable of leading an area. If he was really used as a fierce general, it would be a waste of talent. Even though Lu Jinxian was not present, he would not have any objections to Mo Xiuyao's orders.
Yuan Pei said with some worry, "Is 800,000 too little?"
Ye Li shook her head and smiled. "Even though General Lü only has 400,000 troops, the Chu capital still has General Lenghuai leading 200,000 troops. Even though it is not enough to compare to the Da Chu State's troops, the Mohist army is definitely stronger than the Da Chu State's troops in terms of combat strength. General Lü is skilled at using troops. He will not lose to the Da Chu State's troops. "
Hearing Ye Li say this, Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment before nodding. "Let's do as Miss Li says."
After finishing the discussion, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li brought the sleepy Mo Xiaobao back to the room prepared by Fei Hongguan to rest. Seeing Mo Xiaobao fall asleep, Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li to the side and asked with a smile, "Miss Li, what do you want to say?"
Ye Li hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I plan to follow General Lü to the Da Chu State's frontlines."
She originally thought that Mo Xiuyao would refuse. Unexpectedly, Mo Xiuyao only thought for a moment before nodding. "That's fine. However, Miss Li, you must be careful." Seeing her clearly shocked expression, Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly. He lowered his head and touched her forehead. "Miss Li, did you think I wouldn't agree?"
Ye Li raised her eyebrows. In the past, every time they wanted to go out, they had to haggle for a long time. Wasn't it obvious?
Mo Xiuyao was in a good mood as he pulled her into his embrace. "I have a feeling that after this time, Miss Li will not be able to leave I's side. So … if Miss Li wants to go, then go. " Mo Xiuyao understood that after this time, the world's situation would not change for at least the next twenty years. As for twenty years later … that was none of his business.
Ye Li nodded and said with a faint smile, "Since it's like this, then I'll thank Prince."
Mo Xiuyao gently rubbed her black hair and said with a smile, "After this time, we won't have to fight anymore. Miss Li will no longer have a reason to leave I and run around by herself. But don't worry, wherever Miss Li wants to go, I will accompany Miss Li. "Ye Li gently leaned into his embrace. Her heart was as warm as water. In the blink of an eye, eleven or twelve years had passed. In the beginning, they only wanted to spend their days together. Later on, they wanted to help each other in times of need. The two of them had already been together for more than ten years. They already had three children, but they had also realized that they could only be together for the rest of their lives. In the beginning, this was something that Ye Li did not even think about.
"Xiuyao, when Xin 'er and Lin' er grow up, let's go sightseeing, okay?" Leaning into Mo Xiuyao's embrace, Ye Li asked softly.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said with a smile, "The things that Miss Li likes, I will do with you." But in his heart, he did not approve of Xin 'er and Lin' er growing up. When Mo Xiaobao grew up, it would be fine. Wasn't an older brother used to take care of his younger siblings? Otherwise, what was the use of having him?
So, in his father's eyes, the poor Mo Xiaobao was not only a candidate to clean up the mess, but also a nanny for his two younger siblings in the future.
The next morning, Ye Li quietly left Fei Hong Pass and went to Lu Jinxian's camp. The generals in Fei Hong Pass did not care when they found that their princess had disappeared. They were already used to their princess disappearing from time to time to do some important things. Only Mo Xiaobao was unhappy. Because after his mother left, his father began to squeeze him even more.
Northern Tribes
On the snowy plains of the land of ice and snow, the Royal House of the Northern Tribes stood in the depths of the snowy plains. Different from the resplendent Chu capital and the Emperor Of Xiling's city, the Royal House of the Northern Tribes was much more simple and crude. It was like a city made of stone. Although this was the most prosperous place in the Northern Tribes, only the Royal House of the Northern Tribes lived in the city. Ordinary people still lived in their own tents. So, the entire Royal House of the Northern Tribes was not even as big as the Chu capital's imperial palace.
