Mu Lie glanced sideways at Yaoji, who was smiling faintly and thinking about something. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mother, what are you smiling about?"
Yaoji raised her eyebrows and smiled. "You're getting used to it."
Mu Lie raised his chin and said proudly, "I've never been used to it. Aren't you my mother?" Yaoji smiled and hugged Mu Lie. She raised her hand and rubbed his little head. "Isn't that so? I'm your mother!" Perhaps it was because he started practicing martial arts too early and hurt his muscles and bones. Although Mu Lie was already eleven or twelve years old, he still looked like a seven or eight-year-old child. The two of them got along over the years and developed some feelings for each other. Thus, Mu Lie recognized Yaoji as his adoptive mother.
Yaoji truly loved Mu Lie. Moreover, this child had made great contributions to the Prince Ding Mansion at such a young age. His future was bound to be limitless. Yaoji was naturally happy that Mu Lie was still willing to recognize her as his adoptive mother despite knowing her identity. She loved Mu Lie even more.
Mu Lie chuckled at her. Yaoji couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She heard Mu Lie say slowly, "I forgot to tell Mother that I also recognized Commander Qin as my adoptive father a few days ago."
The smile on Yaoji's face froze. She looked at Mu Lie's happy face and was speechless for a long time.
As if he didn't see Yaoji's expression, Mu Lie leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "We'll be home soon. Don't you plan on what to do with my adoptive father after we return?" It was originally nothing much. Mu Lie would each recognize a adoptive father and adoptive mother. However, when it was mentioned together, she couldn't help but blush. She rolled her eyes at Mu Lie helplessly. "You're just a child. Why are you poking your nose into other people's business?"
Mu Lie smiled. "Other people's business? I only have one adoptive mother and one adoptive father. I don't want to go back and recognize another adoptive mother or adoptive father. Adoptive mother, don't you agree? "
Yaoji raised her hand and placed the book in her hand on Mu Lie's face. "Don't talk nonsense. Be careful and don't get carried away. If you fail miserably at the end, you'll be laughed at. "Mu Lie rubbed his nose. He understood that Yaoji was right. The closer it was to the end, the more he had to be more careful.
"General Mu." A guard's voice came from outside the tent. Mu Lie and Yaoji looked at each other and stood up. Mu Yang had already walked in from outside. When he saw the book in Mu Lie's hand, he couldn't help but smile. He reached out and patted Mu Lie's shoulder. "Lie 'er is hardworking, but you don't have to work too hard." Mu Lie nodded silently and rolled his eyes in his heart. To be honest, this cheap father of his had treated him quite well. Unfortunately … Who told the Mu family to offend His Highness Prince Ding? If Mu Yang and Old Marquis Muyang knew that the grandson of the Mu family that they had doted on for several years was just a fake and a spy at that, who knows how angry they would be? Thinking of this, Mu Lie looked at Mu Yang with some sympathy.
Mu Yang naturally couldn't understand the meaning of this glance. He thought that his son was just worried about his homework. He smiled and said, "Silly child, what you have learned is already much more than the average eight or nine-year-old child. You don't have to force yourself too much."
Mu Lie's little face instantly darkened. Of course, he had learned more than an eight or nine-year-old child because he was not an eight or nine-year-old child himself. Although it was very convenient to go out on missions, his height that didn't grow much in the past few years was an untouchable pain in Mu Lie's heart.
The weather was cold, it was better to let Mu Yang and the House of Marquis Muyang die.
Mu Yang sat down on the chair beside the soft couch. Yaoji poured a cup of hot tea for him from the table and asked with a smile, "Why are you still free to come over at this time?" The army had just arrived at the frontline not far from the Mohist army. These days, Mu Yang and Old Marquis Muyang had been busy with military affairs with Mo Jingli. Although Yaoji and Mu Lie came to the army with Mu Yang, they hadn't seen each other for a few days.
Mu Yang said, "The Mohist army is led by Prince Ding and has wiped out the Northern Tribes army. Now Prince Ding has returned to Feihong Pass to confront Lei Zhenting. Lu Jinxian's army is also moving to the frontline. I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of you these days. Now that I'm free, I'll come back to take a look." Yaoji smiled sweetly and said, "I'll take good care of Lie 'er, you don't have to worry about us."
Mu Yang nodded, holding Yaoji's hand and smiled, "That's good, it's been hard for you to follow us all the way." Yaoji lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "It's what I should do, there's no need to say it's not hard."
Mu Yang looked at Yaoji's gentle and beautiful face, a trace of relief and tenderness flashed in his eyes. Holding Yaoji's hand, he nodded and said, "That's good, I'll go back first. Take good care of yourselves. "
Yaoji and Mu Lie stood up to send Mu Yang out, then turned back to sit down. Mu Lie frowned and said, "Mu Yang won't come back, we can't just walk around outside, how can we get the information of Mo Jingli's army's deployment and defense?"
Yaoji smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. When the time comes, we'll try to get in touch with General Lü. " Mu Lie nodded. Wang fei didn't ask them to get the Da Chu State's defensive deployment map. She probably had something more important to tell them. They only needed to wait for news, and when necessary, provide some assistance to the Mohist army.
In the large tent of the Da Chu State's army, because the Emperor was personally leading the army, the size of the tent was completely different from that of a normal commander's tent. It was much more spacious and magnificent. Even though the weather in the north was still bitterly cold, the thick carpet from the Western Regions was spread out, and the fine silver charcoal burned quietly. The entire tent was warm and comfortable.
But Mo Jingli's expression did not become amiable because of the warmth and comfort of the tent. Instead, it became even more sinister. The generals below all bowed their heads in fear, not daring to look at the high and mighty Emperor. The matter of the Emperor's Descent did not improve Mo Jingli's mood. Ever since that night at the Li Wang Fu last year, Mo Jingli's cold aura was enough to make anyone retreat. Those who did not know did not dare to ask, and the few who knew did not dare to ask. People only knew that the young Emperor had suddenly fallen ill and died, and then King Li ascended the throne. Everything happened so quickly that many people did not have time to react before King Li ascended the throne with absolute power. But after ascending the throne, Mo Jingli's temper became even colder and stranger than before, and his mood was unpredictable. As a monarch who had just ascended the throne, Mo Jingli was the first to personally lead the army instead of comforting the court and the people.
"The Northern Militant Army has been defeated, so Mo Xiuyao's attention will definitely be on the southern front. Now, Mo Xiuyao has sent Lu Jinxian to lead four hundred thousand soldiers to face the Da Chu State's army. What do you all think? "Mo Jingli asked in a low voice.
The generals all looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. Not only had the Northern Militant Army been defeated, they had been completely annihilated. This caused the Mohist army generals to feel a chill in their hearts. Furthermore, the Da Chu State and the Xiling Alliance had taken advantage of the battle between the Mohist army and the Northern Militant Army to send out their own troops. The Xiling Alliance and the Mohist army were pure enemies, so naturally, they would use all means possible. But the Da Chu State and the Mohist army were still connected. King Li's actions would inevitably cause the people and soldiers to feel a chill in their hearts.
