"Well, but, don't take it lightly. Although this Mo Jinyao is not very old, he is calm and experienced in dealing with things, and he is decisive. He is a ruthless character. But... Master heard that he has a princess, and he is very fond of him. In his army..."
"Master, Mo Jinyao does have a princess. Master wants to..."
"That's right, as long as he catches his princess, that's a threat to him."
Daoshan hermit smiled, but Lin Zhi frowned.
"Master, how could someone like Mo Jinyao really fall in love with a woman, let alone a woman who is worthless?"
Lin Zhi didn't know why Master had such an idea.
The Daoshan hermit shook his head and said, "Disciple, you are now a great general. You can't just look at the surface as a general. If Mo Jinyao really doesn't care about his princess, he will still pay you back when he goes to Jiangnan." Do you want to take her? She was left in the capital long ago to be slaughtered."
Lin Zhi thought about it and nodded,
"But the concubine has been in the Eastern Capital all the time, even by Mo Jinyao's side, so we have no chance to do anything."
"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities."
The outsiders didn't know that the Daoshan hermit had arrived in Lin Zhi's big tent, and even Fang Bai and Zhuoyang didn't notice it. It can be seen that this Daoshan hermit is indeed very powerful.
It was already the dead of night, but at this time, there were people kneeling all over the palace in Shengjing.
"Your Majesty, this Beidi is really deceiving people too much. We must not pay compensation according to what they said above."
An old minister knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"Shut up, of course I know."
Mo Wenli naturally knows that Beidi people are like wolves in the extreme northern wasteland, they are insatiable, greedy, and never get enough to feed. What they want this time is gold, silver, jewelry and a city, and what they want next time will only be more. many.
In normal times, Mo Wenli would have dispatched troops long ago. The reason why he would go to negotiate is because of the great witch of Beidi, that person who wears a hat and does not know whether he is male or female. That is their biggest threat, but now When it comes to this point, they have to fight if they don't fight, otherwise when will such a day be the end.
"Come here, hurry up and tell Shangyong's 70,000 horses that no matter what, they must guard Shangyong City for me, guard the promotion of officials and ranks, and if they can't hold it... I will implicate the nine clans!"
Mo Wenli's voice was gritted.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, our envoys are still in their hands, what should they do?" This was said by the envoy who came back with the message.
"They are loyal to the country, and their names will be left in history."
"..." In a word, no one dared to say anything anymore, it was hopeless.
"You all go down, Yun Xiang stays behind."
"Weichen...resign."
His Majesty called them here in the middle of the night for nothing, but told them that a war was about to take place, and all of them suddenly lost their minds, so they just asked Prime Minister Yun to stay alone.
And staying with Prime Minister Yun is Zhao Li, the former servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Zhao Aiqing, that envoy, I don't want to see him again."
Mo Wenli spoke very casually.
"I understand."
Zhao Li's face didn't have the slightest wave of emotion. Mo Wenli wanted to deal with someone these years, but when his status was inconvenient, he was always helped by the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and this envoy must not be allowed to stay. Everyone else was left in the territory of Beidi, and only this one came back. Even if he was loyal, he would definitely think something when he heard what Mo Wenli said. It might be a hidden danger at that time, and Mo Wenli would never allow such a hidden danger to exist.
"You two, you all understand the situation in Xijing. In a few days, the princess of Xijing will enter the capital. I don't want anything to happen at this juncture. Do you understand?"
"Your Majesty understands, don't worry, the princess of Xijing will arrive at the palace safely."
"Your Majesty." Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and there was already one more person in front of the three of them. That person knelt on one knee, but he couldn't see how respectful he was.
"Commander? Why are you here? Get up quickly."
Mo Wenli was taken aback, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to me."
"Leave it to you? Are you willing?"
"Yes, the subordinate is willing." The guard commander got up and stood in front of Mo Wenli, his eyes were not warm at all. If Mo Wenli felt that Mo Jinyao's eyes were already very sharp, but at least he still I could see disdain and contempt in his eyes, but Mo Wenli couldn't see anything in the eyes of the commander of the guards. He was really like an emotionless machine.
And Mo Wenli suddenly discovered that he didn't even know his name, he only knew that he hated the royal family, was the commander of his father's emperor's secret guards, his family was ruined, and he knew nothing about the rest.
"As His Majesty's subject, of course I am willing."
There was no light in the guard commander's eyes, just like the thick night, which made Mo Wenli a little scared.
He had only felt this kind of feeling on Mo Jinyao before, but today he felt the creepy feeling again.
Covering his face in the dragon robe, he pretended to cough, but actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, don't let me down."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
The words fell, and in a flash, the figure disappeared again.
"Your Majesty, this man is too unruly."
Prime Minister Yun was very dissatisfied with his attitude, because just now he completely ignored the two of them.
"Prime Minister, pay attention to your attitude, he is my secret guard."
Mo Wenli always felt that the walls had ears, so he subconsciously said this sentence, and only after he finished speaking did he feel a little timid, actually afraid of a hidden guard.
Then I felt that what the prime minister said made sense, he was indeed too unruly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, forgive me."
waved his hand, said,
"That's all, I don't blame the prime minister, but all the arrangements in Shengjing these days and this post-event ceremony are left to the prime minister. The prime minister will not let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will do his best."
The prime minister also knew that this was a fat job that Mo Wenli had found for him. Was it to make up for not making his daughter a queen
The imperial palace is always an uneasy place, and such things as intrigue are not uncommon.
But now the palace is not very peaceful.
In the early morning of the second day, people from all sides began to move. The dark villages in various countries in Xijing knew that Princess Zhang Ya of Xijing was going to marry Tiansheng. What does such a marriage mean? If the marriage is successful, Xijing and Tiansheng are on the same boat.
No matter how small a grasshopper is, it is still meat, let alone Xijing is not a grasshopper, so of course it will become an arm of Mo Wenli.
However, Mo Jinyao didn't have much interest in this matter, even if these countries all united to beat him, he wasn't afraid, let alone just a marriage.
And truly powerful people don't need such nepotism at all to maintain their strength.
But Mo Jinyao saw that when his princess heard the news, not only did she not look worried, but she smiled treacherously. In Mo Jinyao's eyes, she looked like a drunk little fox.
Lord Chen felt that things were not simple. Lord Chen was never a person who could hold back his words, so he just asked questions.
"What's wrong?" Mo Jinyao looked at the princess sitting beside him.
"Hey, it's nothing, I just gave Mo Wenli a small surprise..."
Yun Ziyue told Mo Jinyao about the surprise she had prepared for him by committing suicide, and the man laughed out loud.
He picked up his little girl, turned around twice, and said, "As expected of my princess, this king likes it."
"Mo Jinyao... so many people are watching, you first... put me down."
Looking at Mo Jinyao's smiling face, Yun Ziyue was of course very happy in her heart. Ever since her imperial brother passed away, whenever this man mentioned Mo Wenli or Sheng Jing, his whole body exuded a sense of hostility. Unexpectedly, now I finally feel a little bit of joy.
Yun Ziyue knew that he couldn't let go, and he couldn't let go of anyone else, but he couldn't be like this forever, otherwise he would be the one who got hurt in the end.
Several servants and guards in the yard looked at the prince's eyes, and they all went out in a hurry, no one wanted to disturb the prince's happiness.
"Yue'er, you are such a clever little ghost, what should I do if I like it more?"
Mo Jinyao put her down, leaned closer, and gently rubbed the tip of the girl's nose with his tall nose, pampering her very much.
"Mo Jinyao..."
When Qin Xiang and Qin Sheng came in, they saw this tooth-piercing scene, and the two brothers and sisters looked at each other.
"My lord, my subordinates will leave first."
Yun Ziyue quickly pushed Mo Jinyao away, the man frowned, walked to the side and sat down, "Say, what's going on?"
"Yes, my lord, the two of my subordinates went outside the city for the past two days, and saw scattered people in the mountains and forests outside the city, and some of them had starved to death, and those who hadn't starved to death were also sick. When they saw our group of armored soldiers, they started to run, and after careful questioning, the subordinates found out that they were all driven out from the Western Capital City."
"Drive out? The food and grass in the western capital are insufficient? Why are these helpless civilians driven out?"
"The subordinates asked them and they said that they were new generals. Seeing that they were old, weak, sick and disabled, they were wasting food in the city and were useless at all, so they were simply driven out, and all the middle-aged men in the city were arrested. Filled up."
The smile on Mo Jinyao's face became even colder. These people are the subjects of his heavenly sage, and they shouldn't be treated like this. In normal times, let alone him, even his elder brother would never do such a thing. For such a thing, it is an insult to his holiness to let someone who has no strength to restrain a chicken, has no training at all and is still unwilling to go into the army.
But this is happening now.
"Okay, that's really good. How can such a scum come out of such a great country!" Mo Jinyao obviously couldn't understand clearly, Yun Ziyue knew that he said that the people of these heavenly saints were not half as good as him. The relationship between dime money is actually different.
Yun Ziyue patted Mo Jinyao's shoulder lightly behind Mo Jinyao, and the man calmed down.
"Where are those people now?"
"The subordinates didn't let them enter the city because they were afraid that they would be infected with the disease, but they have already been settled outside the city. It will definitely not be worse than in the western capital."
"Well, you did the right thing." Mo Jinyao nodded, it was indeed the safest and most appropriate way to do so. "Immediately arrange for military doctors and medical officers in the city to go to the city for diagnosis and treatment. Those who have no disease but are too hungry will be resettled in the city. Those who suffer from the disease will be treated as best they can. These people must not be allowed to die like this."
"Yes, my lord, this subordinate will do it now."
Just as Qin Sheng wanted to go out, Yun Ziyue stopped him.
"Stay back, General, Mo Jinyao, can they cure these people's diseases with certainty?"
Yun Ziyue tilted her head and asked Mo Jinyao.
"... They will try their best." Mo Jinyao said after a while.
How could he not know the severity of the disease when he led soldiers outside all year round to fight? If the military doctors and ordinary doctors in the city could really cure it, then so many people would not die every year.
As soon as Yun Ziyue heard this, she knew what this man was thinking. He didn't want to put himself in danger, so he sighed and said,
"Believe me, I can cure... I will never put myself in it."
"Yue'er, you promised me that you would not take any risks in the future, did you forget so soon?"
Mo Jinyao looked at the girl's face, a little aggrieved.
"Don't worry, I can detoxify the poison in your body. I'm afraid of this little disease. You don't have to worry about it. I will take care of myself."
"I'm with you."
"Don't, the generals of Xidu are eyeing it like a tiger. If you leave, who will be in charge of so many troops?"
"...or throw it all away."
Mo Jinyao's words were astonishing.
"..." Qin Xiang and Qin Sheng now wish they were deaf. Strictly speaking, they are also members of the Dragon Army, so the Dragon Army, which is famous throughout the continent, is now disliked by its master, right? Because of love? Two people want to cry but have no tears.
"Puhaha, Mo Jinyao, why are you so cute? It's settled, I'll come back as soon as I go, you have to trust your princess, she will be fine."
"Ok."
Qin Sheng and Qin Xiang stood aside like two tool people, what else could they say, what did they dare to say, Qin Sheng would not joke with the two of them, and Qin Xiang, she saw that Mo Jinyao didn't So cowardly, but she absolutely dare not say anything else in front of the prince.
So Yun Ziyue left with the two of them, and only the prince who felt lonely in the yard was left. He was obviously fine just now, and his little girl was still in his arms smiling like a drunk little girl. Like a fox, why did my little girl leave just after such a while
"It's all the fault of the general of Xidu, what kind of bullshit general, I remember you."
A certain prince muttered there alone.
"My lord, what are you muttering about!" When Ji Xiaoyao walked in waving his folding fan, he saw Mo Jinyao gnashing his teeth there. ,
He didn't know what happened, but which pot didn't open which pot.
"Where is the princess?"
