Shui Yichen very much wanted to see Mo Mingxi. Although he did not see Beitang Xuanyang with his own eyes, he was able to make Ye Chunnan stop fighting twice, and could lead so many beasts to fight for him. This Dark North Kingdom Crown Prince was definitely not a good-for-nothing like the spy had said. Yet Mo Mingxi was able to capture him easily, and even cripple his martial arts.
Mo Mingxi …
Shui Yichen's impression of him was from many years ago. He was a child who quietly followed Lu Yaoyao around, his black and red eyes seemingly able to see through one's heart.
He was really curious to see what Mo Mingxi would become when he grew up.
"Cross the river," Shui Yichen ordered, his eyes fixed on Ye Chunnan.
Ge Kuan walked a few steps forward. "General, are we really letting them cross?"
"Mm." Ye Chunnan waved his hand. He had already told Shui Yichen that this matter would not be over so easily, but they could not start a war immediately. They still had to save their strength to deal with the Dark North Kingdom.
Ge Kuan said worriedly, "Isn't it too dangerous for the princess to be in their hands?"
"Shui Yichen still doesn't know who she is. It looks like Shen Luoyang will protect her," Ye Chunnan said. "Yan Xiaoliu is also inside."
"General, what should we do next?" Ge Kuan asked in a low voice.
Ye Chunnan laughed coldly. "Let's report this to His Majesty first."
Then he would slowly settle the score with Shui Yichen!
"They're here for the Dark North Kingdom! They're afraid that we'll swallow the Jin Kingdom, "Ge Kuan said angrily.
Ye Chunnan turned his horse around. "Let's go."
Everything went according to Shui Yichen's wishes. He wanted to take advantage of the Dark North Kingdom. He did not even think about it!
…
…
Ming Yu looked up at the bright morning sun and said to Shen Luoyang, "My uncle looks very angry."
"General Ye is a sensible person." That was why he did not start a war with them now.
If Ye Chunnan was an impulsive person, he would not have waited here with only a few dozen soldiers.
"Do you know him?" Ming Yu asked.
Shen Luoyang looked ahead. She did not understand Ye Chunnan. The only time they had interacted with each other was when they came to the Yuan Nation from the Hua Nation. Ye Chunnan had led troops to help the Heavenly Concubine, and she had seen him a few times in the capital. He was a handsome man.
"Not really. General Ye should be a … straightforward person." Shen Luoyang said.
Ming Yu's curvy lips curved into a faint smile. "Mn, yes."
Shen Luoyang did not understand her uncle, but she did.
Ye Chunnan was indeed a virtuous person, but he was also a person who would definitely take revenge on anyone, especially the slightest flaw.
Today, he had allowed Shui Yichen to pass through the Wasteland. He would definitely settle accounts with him in the future.
"He recognized you. If he comes to save you, I will help you leave," Shen Luoyang whispered to Bright Jade.
"It's alright." Ming Yu smiled and said, "Uncle is just worried that Shui Yichen won't let me go."
Shen Luoyang said, "His Majesty will not hurt you. Believe me."
Ming Yu smiled and said, "I believe in you."
After walking for another two hours, Ming Yu was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep in Shen Luoyang's arms.
"We're here!" someone shouted.
Ming Yu woke up with a start. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was in front of a tent. They had arrived at the Yuan Country's military camp.
"Come down." Shen Luoyang carried Ming Yu off the horse. "I'll take you to the tent to rest first. I'm going to discuss some matters with the Emperor. Don't go anywhere. This … is not the Jin Country."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back," Ming Yu said obediently.
Shen Luoyang personally sent Ming Yu to the tent and instructed his two confidants to guard her. "Don't let anyone take her away. Guard her well."
The two confidants could tell that Shen Luoyang was very protective of this little girl, so they obeyed.
Ming Yu sat on the bed. Of course, she would not think of escaping. Even her uncle did not have the confidence to bring her back in one piece. It was impossible for her to escape the Yuan Country's military camp alone. Although she did not know much about Shui Yichen, she had heard about him.
His throne was given to him by her mother, so he would definitely take care of her mother and the others who were still in the Jin Country.
Then did he sneak here from the Jin Country just to get a share of the spoils?
How could he be so sure that the Northern Dark Kingdom would be annexed by the Jin Country?
"Something's wrong. There must be something wrong!" Ming Yu rubbed her chin thoughtfully. With her intelligence, she felt that Shui Yichen was not that simple to deal with the Northern Dark Kingdom. There might be other reasons.
But how was she going to find out?
"Stop! What are you doing?" A stern shout came from outside.
Ming Yu sat up straight and listened attentively to the voice outside. Then, she heard Yan Xiaoliu's voice.
"I'm here to deliver food to General Shen," Yan Xiaoliu said.
"Bring it over." The soldier outside took the food box from Yan Xiaoliu's hands. "You may leave."
Yan Xiaoliu did not hesitate. "Yes."
Ming Yu lifted the curtain. "What's there to eat?"
"What food can there be in the military camp? It's just some miscellaneous grains. This is for General Shen. General Shen said to let you eat first." The soldier glanced at Ming Yu. Seeing that she looked like she was carved from jade, his tone softened a little.
Yan Xiaoliu quickly sized up Ming Yu. After making sure that she was fine, he felt relieved and continued to leave.
"I'm hungry. Not to mention miscellaneous grains, I'll even eat weeds." Ming Yu said in a sweet voice. "Give me the food."
She looked at the two people outside. "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"We had dry rations on the way here. We're already full," the two soldiers said.
"Oh, you're General Shen's bodyguards?" Ming Yu took out a bun from the food box and asked while chewing on it.
"Yes, eat quickly. Leave some for the General."
Ming Yu smiled and nodded. "I can't finish it either."
Because her identity could not be exposed, Ming Yu did not dare to ask too many questions. She ate a bowl of porridge with the bun and put the rest of the bun and porridge back into the food box. When Shen Luoyang returned, he would discuss it with her. It would not do for her to hide in the tent all the time.
She must know what Shui Yichen was up to.
Since the Jin Nation would be hers in the future, she would protect it.
Shen Luoyang was still in Shui Yichen's tent.
She noticed that there were a few men dressed in black that she had never seen before standing beside Shui Yichen.
"Your Majesty, who are they?" Shen Luoyang asked curiously. She had never seen these people before. On the way here, she had not heard of these people by the Emperor's side.
"They are capable men from the pugilistic world," Shui Yichen explained simply. She did not tell Shen Luoyang too much.
Shen Luoyang was stunned. Capable men from the pugilistic world? Why did the Emperor want these people by his side?
"Let everyone rest." Shui Yichen said to Shen Luoyang. "I'll leave the military camp to you for the next few days."
"Your Majesty … is leaving?" Shen Luoyang asked in surprise.
Shui Yichen looked up at her. "We are going to Dingdu City."
Shen Luoyang was about to ask why when Shui Yichen said lightly, "You don't have to ask about this."
