After Wan Ziliang was injured by Ye Chunnan, his 200,000 troops did not even have the chance to come to the Wilderness. Injured, they left to regroup with the army. He originally planned to fight back, but the newly crowned King of Xiliang had already issued an expulsion order. The soldiers of the Dark North Kingdom were not allowed to stay in Xiliang territory.
As an invader with ulterior motives, Wan Ziliang had never thought of returning to the Dark North Kingdom with an army of 200,000 even if he was injured. If he were to return just like that, he would probably have no place to live in the Dark North Kingdom anymore.
Although Wanyan Xi had sent people to drive them away, the Western Liang army was already at a disadvantage. Wan Ziliang chose to give up the wilderness and directly occupied the five cities in the north of Western Liang. The Western Liang army was completely defeated.
The cities to the north of Xiliang and the Dark North Kingdom were almost all occupied by Wan Ziliang. Wanyan Xi could only send an envoy to Xia Province to ask for help from the Jin.
Jin Nation, Xia Province.
Before Mo Rongzhan left, he instructed Wang Qu to attack Anhe City and take over Anhe City as soon as possible. Although there were still twenty to thirty thousand elite soldiers in Anhe City, they didn't have a commander. Hai Gang had already left. Instead of elite soldiers, they were just a bunch of scattered sand.
However, just as Wang Qu was about to break into the city, the scattered forces in Anhe City seemed to have found a point of convergence. They were actually able to set up a formation to resist Wang Qu's attack. After three days of continuous attacks, Wang Qu still could not break the formation. He knew that he had to bring his troops back to Xia Zhou.
"General Wang, what's going on? Could it be that Hai Gang is back? "Wang Qu's vanguard asked doubtfully.
"Impossible!" Wang Qu shook his head and looked towards the direction of Anhe City solemnly. "It's not Hai Gang. His array formation doesn't look like this. This array formation looks like a person …"
"General, you mean … Lu Lingzhi?" The vanguard thought about it carefully and felt that the formation was indeed familiar, but was it possible? How could Lu Lingzhi become the commander-in-chief of the Dark North Kingdom? Why did he go to Anhe City?
Wang Qu shook his head. "It's not easy to guess. The Emperor should be back in two days. Let's wait for the Emperor to come back. Let the soldiers reorganize and rest."
"Yes, General."
At this time, Mo Rongzhan and the others were indeed about to return to Xia Province.
Because of Ye Zhen's pregnancy, Mo Rongzhan was not in a hurry. He did not ride in front of Murong Ke to talk with him, but stayed in the carriage with Ye Zhen. He felt that if he spent more time with her, she would not often have nightmares at night.
"You said that Master is already waiting for us in Xia State?" Ye Zhen didn't sleep well at night. She was always sleepy during the day, so she leaned on Mo Rongzhan's arms and listened to his strong heartbeat, feeling drowsy.
Mo Rongzhan calmly said, "Yes, he wants to take Qi Ruoshui away."
Ye Zhen was stunned. "Where is he taking Qi Ruoshui?"
"A place where they live in seclusion." Mo Rongzhan said, "I don't know where he is, but Qi Ruoshui shouldn't dare to go back."
"Qi Ruoshui is too vicious. Master probably doesn't want her to continue harming others." Ye Zhen said, thinking of Qi Jin who was still in the capital, she could only sigh in her heart. "Poor Medical Officer Qi."
Mo Rongzhan rubbed Ye Zhen's head. "Well, don't think so much. Don't you feel sleepy? Sleep for a while, and we will be in the City of Wei of our Jin Kingdom. From there, we will reach Xia State in two days. "
"City of Wei?" Ye Zhen thought carefully about the name. "It seems to be the home of the Empress Dowager."
"Well, the Qiu family has moved to the capital." Mo Rongzhan's tone was obviously displeased. He didn't like the Qiu family. When the Empress Dowager wanted the Qiu family to move to the capital, he found excuses to delay it. He didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would take advantage of his absence to let the Qiu family move.
Ye Zhen chuckled. "The Empress Dowager misses her family very much."
"Probably." Mo Rongzhan said. He didn't think the Empress Dowager would miss her family. If it weren't for the elders of the Qiu family, the Empress Dowager would not have entered the palace to become the emperor's concubine.
He seemed to have heard that the Empress Dowager already had a fiancé who was talking about marriage at that time, but because she wanted to enter the palace, the Qiu family deliberately slandered the man. Finally, the two broke off the engagement and the Empress Dowager was sent to the palace. Because of this incident, the Empress Dowager had no contact with her family since she entered the palace.
However, this matter has become a thing of the past, so Mo Rongzhan didn't mention it to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen had no interest in the Empress Dowager's family. Anyway, there wouldn't be much interaction in the future. She leaned on Mo Rongzhan's arms like this. The carriage swayed, and before long, she fell asleep.
Mo Rongzhan listened to her long and even breathing, and his thin lips showed a faint smile.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Yi's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Hmm?" Mo Rongzhan's voice was very soft. He was afraid of waking Ye Zhen in his arms. She had a dream last night and didn't sleep well. Could she sleep well during the day?
Shen Yi whispered, "It's a letter from Wang Qu."
"Give it to me." Mo Rongzhan said immediately.
Hong Ying, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, took the letter handed over by Shen Yi, lifted the curtain and handed it to Mo Rongzhan.
After Hong Ying put down the curtain, she looked up at Shen Yi's shoulder. "Lord Shen, is your injury better?"
Shen Yi looked down at Hong Ying, and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. "It's seventy to eighty percent healed, thanks to Her Ladyship's medicine."
At that time, he just wanted to stop the pain for a while. Who knew that Her Ladyship's medicine had the effect of setting bones? The broken bone in his shoulder was connected by itself in a few days.
"That's good." Hong Ying whispered, her cheeks inexplicably red.
Shen Yi smiled and retracted his gaze. "Thank you, Miss Hong Ying, for your concern."
Hong Ying smiled and did not speak.
Eunuch Fu rode beside her on his horse and said with a smile, "Spring is infinitely good."
Right now, it was a good time of spring. The weather was warm, and the sky that had been washed by the rain last night was a beautiful blue. Even the air was full of life. What made people the happiest was that the Emperor and Empress had met. It seemed like there was nothing more worrying ahead.
Murong Ke walked in front. He could feel everyone's light and happy mood, but he could not relax. The more news he received, the heavier his mood became.
Before Wan Ziliang started the war with Xiliang, he knew in his dream that Wan Ziliang would seize the five cities of Xiliang and occupy the northern stronghold of Xiliang. He had always thought that it was just a dream, but now it had really happened.
If what happened to Wan Ziliang was true, then would what happened to Mo Rongzhan also happen in the future?
That was the reason why he couldn't relax.
"Pavilion Master, should we let Teng Ye go to Xia Province as well?" Song Jiong asked in a small voice. He felt that the Pavilion Master should have calmed down. Could he have forgiven Teng Ye?
"No need," Murong Ke said lightly.
He has not forgiven Teng Ye, Song Jiong sighed in his heart.
