Mu Yang shook his head, raised his uninjured hand and patted Mu Lie's head, "Father is fine, don't be afraid." Mu Lie nodded and sat obediently beside Mu Yang, watching Yaoji treat his wounds. Outside the tent, a soldier reported, "Reporting to Marquis, Senior Marquis asked you to go over after treating your wounds."
Mu Yang nodded, "I know, you can go."
Yaoji frowned, "Why aren't you resting after suffering such a serious injury?" Mu Yang smiled helplessly, "I'm about to leave again. Father probably wants me to go over to give some orders. Don't worry, I didn't hurt any vital parts. "
"But … your injuries …"
Mu Yang sighed, "Although this defeat was caused by the Mohist army receiving the information in advance, I still lost after all. The Emperor gave me a way out and asked me to lead the army to resist Lu Jinxian's army to atone for my mistake. How can I say no so easily? "
Yaoji also knew the severity of the matter and nodded, "Then you must be careful." Mu Yang smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After tidying up a little, Mu Yang went to Senior Marquis Muyang's tent. As soon as he went out, Yaoji and Mu Lie's face sank, Mu Lie said in a deep voice, "Marquis Muyang will soon suspect us." There weren't many people in the army who had access to confidential information. After eliminating all possibilities, the answer would be the most unlikely one.
Yaoji smiled, "You're wrong, he will soon suspect me."
Mu Lie's face sank, "You're crazy, don't think of coming out to take the blame. Don't forget, if the evidence is conclusive, do you think Mo Jingli will let me go? Moreover, with Marquis Muyang's intelligence, he may suspect my identity. "Mu Lie and Mu Yang didn't look alike, only their eyes were a little like Yaoji's. At that time, Marquis Muyang would most likely suspect his identity.
Yaoji sighed, "Unless it's a last resort, would I go to die? But you must be careful these days, don't pay attention to it unless there's any important news, lest you fall into Marquis Muyang's trap. "
Mu Lie nodded with a solemn expression. "I understand. I have a feeling that … this matter will be over soon. "Yaoji lowered her eyes and said in a low voice," It's good that it's over. You've worked hard these past few years. " Mu Lie was only eight or nine years old when he followed her to the Chu capital. Not only did he have to secretly help her gather information, but he also had to remind her from time to time not to make any mistakes. If it wasn't for Mu Lie's company, she really didn't know if she would have been able to hold on.
Mu Lie looked at her and said, "If you can't do what Prince ordered, I'll do it."
Yaoji smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry so much. When the time comes, we may not be needed …" Mu Lie shook his head and said, "Since the Prince has given the order, such a situation will definitely occur. Otherwise, do you think Marquis Muyang would be able to survive until now? Just based on the fact that he had almost killed the Princess Consort and the Crown Prince, the Prince should have killed him back then. Just wait and see. I'm afraid that Prince will send news soon. "
Yaoji was startled. She nodded and said, "Everything is fate. Moreover … I know what to do. I don't owe them anything. Why can't I do it? "Other than Mu Yang being her son's father, Yaoji had gradually become indifferent to him these past few years. Back then, she thought that the feelings of the sea had dried up and the rocks had faded away.
Mu Lie looked at her worriedly and nodded. He secretly made up his mind. If it really came to that time, he would make the first move to gain the upper hand, so as to avoid the knot in Yaoji's heart that would be difficult to resolve in the future.
On the other side, Ye Li sat on the back of a horse and looked at the place not far from the foot of the mountain. She smiled faintly. Her white clothes and black hair fluttered in the slightly cold breeze.
"Princess Consort." Qin Feng presented a letter and said in a deep voice, "General Lü has defeated Mu Yang's army of a hundred thousand. The army is heading to the Cold Valley Pass. Shouldn't we go back? "
Ye Li frowned. She opened the letter and said, "General Lü's battle was really shocking. But … Qin Feng, immediately let Yaoji and Mu Lie withdraw! "Qin Feng was startled, but he quickly calmed down. He said quietly, "Prince has ordered that Yaoji and Mu Lie … have other uses." However, Mo Xiuyao originally didn't intend to tell Ye Li about this matter. But now that Princess Consort wanted Yaoji and Mu Lie to withdraw, it was contrary to Mo Xiuyao's order. Qin Feng could only tell the truth.
Ye Li was startled. She quickly understood Mo Xiuyao's intention. She sighed softly and said to Qin Feng, "You go. Try to ensure Yaoji and Mu Lie's safety." When Mo Xiuyao chose Yaoji as a spy in Chu Jing, Ye Li understood. She didn't stop him then, so she naturally wouldn't stop him now. The Marquis Mu Yang's Mansion was doomed. If it could make Mo Xiuyao feel better, Ye Li didn't mind being more ruthless.
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess Consort." The lives of spies were worthless. Many people in power didn't care about the lives of spies. Because most of the spies had a great deal of information in the hands of their masters. The people in power didn't need to worry about them betraying them. If they were discovered, most of them could only die. Although the Prince Ding Mansion treated their subordinates better, they couldn't take care of everyone. But Princess Ding was different. As long as it was possible, she would try her best to ensure the safety of her subordinates. Perhaps it was because of this that these people were willing to serve a woman. Princess Ding not only had the mind and strategy of a man, but also the kindness and generosity that most people in power didn't have.
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "I'm just doing my best. I can't protect everyone."
