Muji knelt down in panic, clasping his fists with both hands. "General, it's Muji... who got confused."
"First order, withdraw the troops!" Mu Huaicheng said in a low voice.
"But General, if we withdraw our troops at this time and they take advantage of the victory to pursue them, Huayang City may not be able to be saved..."
"Second order, everyone must retreat in an orderly manner, and no military flags or weapons are allowed to be scattered." Mu Huaicheng looked at the noisy battlefield with a heavy face. Xie Yulan...
This woman is indeed powerful.
The sound of the retreat horn sounded, and the Mu family troops fled in panic, but they did not drop their flags and weapons when they fled, and they seemed to be in an orderly manner.
Dongyang City, battlefield.
"General, take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory!" The deputy general and all the soldiers were excited, and the Mu family army was retreating steadily. Now is the time!
"Wait." Xie Yulan frowned and dismounted.
He glanced at the traces of retreating carriages and horses on the ground, and his expression changed. "Don't chase after poor bandits."
"General, why!" the deputy general was a little angry.
"The other party ran away in a hurry, but they didn't leave their weapons and flags behind. Do you think you can do it?" Xie Yulan asked in return.
The deputy general was stunned for a moment and nodded. "Does the princess mean to be deceitful?"
"Otherwise?" Xie Yulan sneered.
Raising his hand to give the order, Xie Yulan signaled the entire army to withdraw into the city.
Dongyang City.
On top of the city wall, Mu Huaicheng stood quietly, staring closely at each other's every move.
"General, you are really amazing... Xie Yulan's men didn't catch up." Muji breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xie Yulan is vigilant by nature and is the disciple of the Great Yu Bingsheng. If she withdraws her troops in a panic without changing her pace, she will feel that there is fraud."
"But general, even if we are lucky enough to withdraw this time, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be dampened. If you can't come forward..." If Mu Huaicheng can't come forward, the Mu family army will definitely languish.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Huaicheng took off his mask and spoke in a low voice. "I have been ordered by His Majesty to guard the ten cities at the border. Then I can't lose any of them."
"General, are you going to fight in person?" Muji was a little nervous.
"If the order is passed, let me tell you that the spirit of the Mu family army is still there and will never give up. I, Mu Huaicheng, will be with all the soldiers." As long as the Mu family army is united, even if someone doubts that he is alive, it is just suspicion.
"General...that's great!" Muji's eyes turned red, and he knelt down with a choked voice. "General, it's useless for Muji to let the enemy take away Huayang City..."
"Xie Yulan brought ten thousand soldiers. These people were personally trained by the Xie family. One person can defeat more than ten people. It's not your fault." Mu Huaicheng was not completely sure whether he could win over Xie Yulan.
Although Xie Yulan is a woman, he cannot regard Xie Yulan as a woman on the battlefield.
This woman is more difficult to deal with than a man.
"General, Xie Yulan works vigorously and resolutely, and his combat methods are as tough as his martial arts. We are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Can we hold on..." Muji was still worried.
Mu Huaicheng said nothing, and he also had no confidence.
Xie Yulan has been suppressing the civil strife in Dayu, but he did not expect that he would suddenly come to the border to fight for the thirty-two cities.
When Emperor Dayu disappeared, he thought that the government of Dayu had no time to take care of the border. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xin suddenly returned and focused on the thirty-two cities at the border.
Obviously, Di Xin knew that something had happened to Xiao Junze and took advantage of others' danger...
…
Dayu, the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yulan went to the border and recaptured a city. She is truly a hero among the Yu girls!"
Yin Cheng was in a good mood and nodded. "Xie Yulan is indeed a rare person. The founder of the mountain has given birth to a good daughter."
"Your Majesty, as for the matter of establishing a queen..." Some ministers were still worried about the issue of royal heirs.
The former dynasty and the harem have always complemented each other, and without heirs the imperial power would be unstable.
"I have said many times that Princess Yulan's heart is above all for her country and the world, but all of you courtiers can only say sarcastic words! If the border is unstable, I will never establish a queen!" Yin Cheng's air pressure condensed, and he took the position of queen.
, except Chaoyang... no one is qualified.
"Your Majesty..." The old minister wiped his sweat nervously and spoke again. "Even if you don't establish a queen... you have to have a few concubines to warm your bed. Now that the people are talking about you... it damages the imperial power, not to mention the meager heirs.
, the imperial power is unstable. The Founding King is watching with eager eyes, and the Queen Mother is still struggling to survive. For the sake of my Dayu royal bloodline, Your Majesty..."
The old minister was also a loyal minister and gave advice, but Yin Cheng was unable to refute and became angry.
Since he wants this world and this imperial power, he should consider... It is absolutely impossible for the harem to have only one woman.
What's more, the previous dynasty and harem have always provided checks and balances, and he...
It is impossible to keep the harem empty.
The only thing he could do was to promise not to touch those women.
His heir can only be with Chaoyang.
"Does Mr. Liu have a favorite candidate?" Yin Cheng finally relaxed.
The old minister quickly wiped his sweat and was prepared. "Look, these are all brochures of girls of the right age."
Yin Cheng frowned, not in any mood.
Throwing the brochure to the eunuch beside him, he stood up and said, "You can handle it as you please."
"Yes..." The eunuch nodded and quickly followed.
…
Three days later.
Border Pass, Huayang City.
The morale of the Mu family army was greatly damaged after the sneak attack and withdrawal. In addition, after the death of Mu Huaicheng, they were leaderless. As expected, some unsettled soldiers secretly ran out of the barracks to drink flower wine in the city in violation of military orders.
"Our general... is naturally brave, but now he has ended up like this."
"His Majesty is also missing. If we continue to defend like this, we will be defeated sooner or later!"
"That's right, Xie Yulan is too fierce and not a woman at all. Who would dare to marry such a woman?"
"Once General Mu dies, we will become rebel bandits. If this continues, even if we are not driven out and killed by Xie Yulan, we will be... captured by the imperial court."
In the restaurant, there were already soldiers full of complaints.
Chaoyang was dressed in a smart outfit, frowning and holding the cup tightly.
Now that Huayang City is like this, if you think about it... the opponent will launch an attack soon.
"Brother, let me ask, who is the commander of the enemy army in Dayu?" Chaoyang reached out to grab the boy who was serving the food, and spoke again in a low voice. "Why do you look at these soldiers, all of them so sluggish?"
"I am afraid of being beaten. The enemy is Princess Yulan, the daughter of the Kaishan King of Dayu. This woman is more than eight feet tall. She has an angry look and a fierce look. She does not look like a woman at all. I heard that she is a female disciple of the Soldier Saint of Dayu.
, the only female apprentice, she is very powerful." The child lowered his voice, fearing to cause trouble.
Chaoyang frowned, it seemed...this Xie Yulan was difficult to deal with.
Dayu Bingsheng? She had heard her mother Baili talk about it. Although he could not be compared with Mr. Guigu, he was definitely one of the capable people alive today.
Please tap your fingers on the table, throw the broken silver to Chaoyang and stand up.
She wanted to remind Mu Huaicheng that the morale of the soldiers was shattered and the enemy would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack.
Huayang City is in danger.
…
Outside the pass, the official road of Dongyang City.
A carriage drove slowly towards Dongyang City.
"Slow down, slow down, it's crazy, my butt is about to bloom!" In the car, Xie Yunnan's face was covered with honey, and he never forgot to take care of his skin that was so wet when he came to the border.
"Master, please be rougher. You will be arriving at the military camp soon. You are so delicate... people will treat you as a woman." The book boy looked like he was about to cry. "When the time comes, you will be bullied and you will cry again.
"
"Nonsense, I am the most handsome in the world. Anyone who bullies me is jealous!" Xie Yunnan took the small bronze mirror and continued to apply honey.
The honey condensed into small beads on the face, dark yellow, like chicken pox on the face.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the most handsome young master of the Xie family in the world was kidnapped.
"You... who are you? Do you know who I am? I am... the son of the founder of the mountain. My sister is Xie Yulan!" Xie Yunnan was afraid and reported his family name first.
The corners of Mu Huaicheng's mouth raised under his mask. "You are the one I am looking for. Come back with us and sit down! Take him away!"
After saying that, he signaled Muji to take the person away.
"Woman?" Muji opened the car curtain and carried Xie Yunnan on his shoulders. "A tall, ugly woman with a pockmarked face?"
"You fart, I am the most handsome in the world!" Xie Yunnan was too scared to move, but no one could question his handsomeness.
"Take away!" Mu Huaicheng frowned and wanted to evacuate as soon as possible.
