Mo Yu didn't dare to let his guard down until things were settled.
"But I still don't know if the Lanyue Kingdom will go back on its word and attack our Tianyu Kingdom when we are least prepared."
His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, with a look of exploration. Ruan Hongmao and An Ruochen beside him instantly cleared their heads after being reminded of this.
With his eyes slightly opened, Ruan Hongmao looked at the person sitting in the ** with sudden enlightenment.
"My Lord, you have thought it through. I never thought this would happen."
An Ruochen also nodded and looked at Mo Yu with approval in his eyes.
Indeed, no one knows whether this is a conspiracy of the Lanyue Kingdom to make us relax our vigilance and then launch a surprise attack.
"Yes, sir, if that's the case, we can be caught in one fell swoop."
Mo Yu nodded. What they said was correct. It was indeed the case.
This also woke him up, and he must be careful and not take it lightly.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Now send some people to guard the border wall of Tianyu Country and keep an eye on Lanyue Country to see if there is anything unusual."
Ruan Hongmao left after he finished speaking, and the others followed him. In an instant, he was the only one left in the tent.
The room was silent. With a frown and a painful expression, he reached out and touched the painful spot on his abdomen.
The slight touch made the wound extremely painful, and hot sweat oozed out from the dense pores on my back.
"Why does it hurt so much?"
He complained in his heart that these people were really ruthless.
He felt that he wouldn't be so cruel. If he stabbed it two centimeters deeper, it would injure an important part.
It would be very difficult to stop the bleeding at that time, fortunately Goro treated his wound this time.
He endured the pain and stood up because something came to his mind.
His hands were struggling to find something, and it took him a long time to search.
With sweat beading on his forehead, he took out a knife given to him by Yi Jinyi.
Intact, he wiped it, his eyes narrowed slightly...
I must finish dealing with things here before I can return to Beijing.
After waiting for a few days, there was still no movement from Lanyue Kingdom.
"General Ruan, what is the situation at the border?"
General Ruan would make a report once a day. Mo Yu was in much better health and could now stand freely.
He was wearing a thin inner garment, his face was pale, his lips were pale, he had lost some weight in the past few days and his complexion did not look good.
Ruan Hongmao looked at Mo Yu with joy with a smile in his eyes.
"Reporting to the Marquis, there has been no movement from the Lanyue Kingdom so far. I am afraid that this letter of surrender is fake."
Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully, but did not give the order to return to Beijing.
Ruan Hongmao raised his head and glanced at the person who was lost in thought. He said nothing.
He still felt that he had to be anxious. Since the enemy army had not made any movement, if he rashly believed it now, he would be afraid that the Lan Yue Kingdom would become rampant again after he returned to the capital and attack him by surprise.
"Wait a little longer. Have the brothers keep a close eye on the Lanyue Kingdom and see if there is any movement. The surrounding areas should also be on high alert. Tell me any clues."
Ruan Hongmao nodded, thinking that Mo Yu was right to do so and should be more careful in everything.
Just as he was about to retreat, An Ruochen, dressed in a green robe and heavy armor, suddenly came over excitedly.
"Reporting to the Marquis, the 200,000-strong army of Lanyue Nation has withdrawn from the border, and now no one can be seen in the army."
Mo Yu widened his eyes and looked at An Ruochen in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly.
"W-what?"
He never expected that Lan Yue Country was serious this time, and he couldn't believe it at all.
Ruan Hongmao's face was also full of disbelief, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
He did not expect that the Lan Yue Kingdom would act so quickly. When he checked the situation in the early morning, no action had been taken. He did not expect that so many troops had been withdrawn in just one hour.
An Ruochen's eyes were filled with joy as he glanced happily at the two people in front of him.
"I heard that the Lanyue Kingdom has already withdrawn. I just took a look and saw these."
Ruan Hongmao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there was only news after the Lanyue Kingdom withdrew for so long.
It turned out that it was because it was noon now. It seemed that the Lanyue Kingdom was also forced into a desperate situation due to the lack of military rations.
"That's great! In that case, our army in Tianyu Kingdom is ready, and we will return to the capital today to report to the emperor."
Ruan Hongmao and An Ruochen were happy, but they were inevitably injured in the battle.
What was even more miserable was Mo Yu. Just as the wound on his abdomen had healed a little, he now had a wound on his back.
An Ruochen suddenly thought of the wounds on his body and paused.
"My Lord, how are you injured? Would you like to stay for a few more days before returning?"
Mo Yu was stunned. If he hadn't said it, he would have forgotten that he was still injured.
He waved his hand and refused.
"My wound is healed now."
Next day
"Has the matter been confirmed to be completed?"
Mo Yu, wearing armor, asked Ruan Hongmao behind him.
Several people sat on their horses, put on their armor and prepared to return to Beijing.
Ruan Hongmao thought for a moment and nodded.
"My Lord, everything has been completed. We can set off now."
Mo Yu glanced at the soldiers behind him, and he set off back to Beijing with his men Goro, An Ruochen, and Ruan Hongmao.
There were still wounds on his body. Mo Yu recalled the battle. It was quite thrilling and he fell into the enemy's hands many times.
My life has been on the verge of death many times, but fortunately it is all over now.
"In that case, let's set off back to Beijing."
The 300,000 soldiers on the border were all dressed in armor and looked at Mo Yu on his horse with a solemn look on their faces.
"We cordially send General Zhenbei back to the capital in triumph!"
A deafening sound rang out at the door of the tent. Mo Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand.
The horse began to gallop on the road, carrying Mo Yu non-stop...
I don’t know how long it will take to return to Beijing…
Everyone has a smile on their face, and the glory of victory is reflected in their hearts...
Qingzhou
"Come quickly, come quickly, something big has happened..."
"There's a fire, there's a fire, come and put it out!"
One figure after another kept walking, hurriedly, and shouting non-stop. Everyone was very busy and never stopped.
This is an ancestral home filled with the scent of books. Judging from the fine wood on the outside, it is the house of a wealthy family.
“Here it comes!”
Figures of maids and servants went in and out, carrying buckets of water and pouring them on the raging flames.
"What should we do? More people come..."
The maids screamed helplessly, but the flames did not get much smaller.
The sweat on my forehead kept sliding down, and the dripping sweat could be like rain.
There was sweat all over his back and the whole scene was in chaos.
