Ilia and Nicolas did not choose to go with David Mo. They returned to Yanjing the first day after the imperial edict was issued. However, Yurien found David Mo alone and expressed his intention to return to Beijing together.
David Mo couldn't say anything about Yulian's feeling. Although Yulian prefers to camp, he never chose to retreat on the battlefield.
He did not stop all the way until night fell, and David Mo chose a nearby town and ordered the entire army to prepare for rest. Six thousand people quickly began to camp temporarily, making fire to make meals and rest for the day.
From time to time, "crackling" sounds were made in the fire. The two of them sat in front of the fire. David Mo looked up at the stars in the sky. He remembered Enesha. He didn't expect that her retreat and cultivation would take such a long time.
"I have worked with you for a long time, but I still don't know where your hometown is? I heard your accent, I seem to be a native of Yanjing, right?" Yurien took a small wooden stick and flipped around the firewood inside the fire.
David Mo shook his head slightly and sighed: "I can't remember where my hometown is. I have been wandering around with my father. At the age of eight, my father took me to settle down in Yanjing."
Yurien nodded, his eyes were a little sloppy, and he smiled faintly: "My family was originally in Kurta Province. A hundred years ago, because the war with the Roman Empire broke out, he served as the company commander of a local army. Later, as his cultivation level improved, he gradually entered the vision of the royal imperial guards, and this is why today is... "
He said this, looked at David Mo beside him, and then said, "My father should also be a peerless strong man, right? In the whole Yanjing, a young strong man like you, I'm afraid I can't find a second one..."
When he said that when he was a young strong man, his eyes were a little complicated. He had seen David Mo's resume at the beginning. At the age of eighteen, he already had a cultivation level that ordinary people could not reach.
When Yurien mentioned his father, David Mo's eyes flashed slightly and he gently touched his nose. He smiled faintly and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say it. My father is just an ordinary person who has no talent for cultivation..."
Seeing Yurien's surprise on his face, he continued, "I guess you must have read my file. Speaking of which, my father is a third-class light cavalry, but in fact, he is just a groom who brings goods to others..."
After adjusting his sitting posture for a moment, his eyes showed a faint sadness and he whispered: "Among the many down-and-out nobles in the empire, it is indeed rare to be like our family..." Finally, his tone was slightly mocking.
A figure walking towards this side swayed for a moment. When she heard David Mo's words, she felt a little sympathetic: "I didn't expect that the adult's life experience was so miserable..."
David Mo smiled slightly at the two figures, and Yulian also looked in their direction. When he saw the faces of the two people clearly, he immediately showed an incredible expression.
"Aren't this the wife and lady of Baigu Mansion?!" Yurien couldn't help asking curiously. Although the two of them were wearing men's dresses, those two delicate faces could not lie!
David Mo nodded and smiled at him, "It's them, it's not peaceful along the way, so let them go back to Beijing with the army."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Candice and Aipelli who were standing not far away, and smiled faintly: "It's so late, you two don't sleep, why are you here for me?"
After Candice Yingying gave a gift, she stepped forward and walked to David Mo and said, "The tent is a little boring. I thought about going out for a walk and breathing, but I didn't expect to walk to the adults..."
After saying that, she was not polite, and actually took a seat cushion from the side and sat directly beside David Mo. Yurien on the other side couldn't help but mutter to himself: This lady of Baigu Mansion is too unrestrained...
When Aipulli saw Candice sitting next to David Mo, she felt a little worried for no reason, but she couldn't stand there. She had to take a cushion from the side, sit down next to Candice, holding a branch in her hand, gently tweaking the fire, and pretending to be nothing.
David Mo glanced at Aipuli, who looked a little unhappy, and then realized for a while. The two women probably were in the tent and could not hold back their hearts to come to him to relax.
However, he did not say it out loud, and chuckled twice, "It's been a bit painful for you two. Isn't the feeling of being a little uncomfortable along the way?"
Before Candice could speak, Aipuli said lightly: "I didn't feel uncomfortable. Many scenery is dazzling... It's just that it's too far from the adults' location, so it would be great if I could chat with him."
The gentleman's dress she wore was very close to her body and was quite heroic. In addition, she took off her hat at night and her hair flew out, which made her look unique.
Candice was not willing to be outdone, her red lips moved slightly and said softly: "I have not left the province of Lakota for many years, and there is a lot of freshness on the road this time."
Her eyes roamed, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, Yulian, who was beside her, felt a warm heart, and she thought to herself that she was indeed a natural beauty. When she looked at the two women, her eyes stopped on David Mo's face, and she stood up to say goodbye.
Yurien laughed in a low voice and said, "It's getting late, Lord Mo, let's go first..." His eyes were extremely ambiguous, as if he was hinting at the relationship between David Mo and the two women.
David Mo was embarrassed and said calmly: "The General of the Central Army will walk slowly..." He glanced at Mulin Gail who had been standing in the distance and shouted to him: "Help me see off Lord Yulian!"
When Yulian and Mullinggail disappeared among the many tents, David Mo turned his head and glanced at Candice and Aipuri. His face was slightly embarrassed and he tentatively said: "If it's too late today, you might as well go back and rest first."
Candice was a little reluctant to leave and said softly, "I just came out and couldn't sleep when I went back..." She said this, gently stroked the ends of her hair with her left hand, and said with a little curiosity: "Didn't you talk about your father just now? Now that you have achieved such brilliant achievements, I believe he must be very happy, right?"
David Mo has never liked to talk about his family, but for some reason, he asked Candice's mouth. Not only did he not feel dissatisfied, but he vaguely had an impulse to reveal himself.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked up at the sky and said, "Father has left me long ago, and I don't know where he is now. Perhaps he will be happy when the imperial edict is passed down throughout the world..."
But Aipuli mistakenly thought that Mo David's father had passed away, as if he had a kind of love that was sympathetic. His eyes gradually became complicated when he looked at Mo David.
"I didn't expect that my adult experience was so difficult..." Candice's eyes were also a little sad. A cold breeze blew by. She seemed a little cold, and she leaned against David Mo again, almost feeling like she was snuggling against him!
David Mo felt a little embarrassed and was about to move away, but he didn't expect that Aipuli, who had been silent, stood up, wandered around the fire for two steps, and suddenly walked to the other side of him and sat down!
The two women had their own thoughts, only David Mo was caught in the middle and could not move. He, a young man with strong energy, could not bear this stimulation. His heart rippled and his face turned a little red.
Fortunately, the fire from the bonfire in front of him slightly covered his face, otherwise he would not know how to make a fool of himself. With a light cough, he moved slowly backwards.
Candice seemed to have not heard of it, and added some firewood to the fire, saying to himself: "My father was originally a horsewoman on the Glenchun grassland. Because he owed the thanksgiving tax from the Holy Tribunal, he was forced to sell all his livestock..."
"On the road of disagreement, my father died of serious illness, and my mother remarried with others. Only my brother wandered to southern Xinjiang with me..." When she said this, she showed a faint hatred in her eyes and continued: "Later, I married into Baigu Mansion, and my life was more stable..."
"Where is your brother?" David Mo rubbed the back of his hands and said curiously.
Candice's eyes were even stronger, her eyes were slightly red, and she choked and said, "Because she touched the shoes of the priest Jonas with her hand, she was slandered that he was disrespectful to the God of Light! She was beaten to death!"
David Mo didn't expect Candice to have such experience. He was stunned for a moment and said lightly: "Jonas is dead... You can understand your brother's injustice..."
But unexpectedly, Candice looked at him gratefully, her face was like a pear blossom with rain, and she murmured: "I know he is dead... I heard that it was a miserable time when he died, and his head was gone! And I also knew that it was the adults who killed him!"
When she talked about Jonas's tragic death, there was a sense of gritting teeth in her eyes. After a while, it seemed as if years of hatred had been resolved, and her emotions finally calmed down.
David Mo didn't expect that the news about this woman would be so well-versed. He pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I just took action to hurt him. His death has nothing to do with me. You may have misunderstood..."
Candice was not moved by his words and continued to whisper: "Don't worry, sir, although I am a woman, I know the great relationship here and I will never talk about it."
David Mo shook his head in his heart, glanced at Aipuli beside him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Aipuli was listening clearly, and it was still a secret.
When Aipuli saw David Mo's gaze, she thought he was concerned about his hearing, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, I will never say it!"
David Mo stood up and sighed, "It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. These things are trivial matters. It's still not early, so I'll go back and rest first."
After saying that, he ignored the two women and turned around and returned to the tent, clarifying the causes and consequences. He already knew in his heart why Candice was so kind to him, and it turned out that he regarded him as his benefactor.
Thinking of this, he felt a little disappointed for some reason. He laughed softly, turned over and lay on the bed, took out the dragon horse egg and fed it, and stopped thinking about it.
David Mo's departure made the two women feel bored. They stood up together and returned to the camp. Candice finally revealed her thoughts, which could be considered a matter of worry. Looking at Aipuli, who had been tossing and turning, her eyes flashed slightly, with a little shame.
