As for An Xuetang’s words, Shiyi nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, we all think so. No matter what, we can’t just stand by and watch the prince go alone.”
An Xuetang hummed in response, she definitely couldn’t let Mo Yunjing fight alone, so she had to figure out a way.
After a moment of silence, her fingertips idly rubbed against the corner of the table, tapping it lightly and randomly. Eleven was also nervously waiting for An Xue Tang’s response.
Once Mo Yunjing has made up his mind to do something, no matter what others say, it is all in vain.
After a moment of silence, An Xue Tang gritted her teeth, “Eleven, if all other methods fail, then let’s just strike first and then make amends.”
“?!”

An Xuetang stood up and waved her hand, “Eleven, you go prepare quickly. Wait a moment, I’ll write a letter. When Ajing finds you, you give him the letter. After he reads it, he naturally won’t drive you back.”
Eleven bowed, “Yes, Your Highness.”
After Eleventh left, An Xuetang immediately told Ning’er to prepare her plum-charcoal pen and paper. She had to finish writing the letter before Mo Yunjing returned and give it to Eleventh and Yunliu and the others.
While writing the letter, An Xue Tang instructed Shou’er who was standing beside He Ning.
“Right now, both Luo and Hong are injured. Shou’er, you task someone to find things for us. Have them take more than ten people and discreetly follow the Prince. No matter what news comes from the front line, they must relay it back immediately. Those going must have good light skills, and each must carry three pouches of explosives. Once any danger is discovered regarding the Prince, they can provide timely assistance.”
“…”
Ninger and Shou’er looked at each other. Now, these less than fifty packs of explosives hidden in the Prince’s mansion were brought over by the wife of the King of Northern Frontier, under his insistence, through a person sent by the Princess Ming to find Tanggu.
The King of the North Frontier’s purpose was nothing more than to ensure the safety of his queen as much as possible.
Now the Empress is asking for someone to be sent with a bomb and join the Northern Border King on his campaign. But what if something happens in the capital?
The Princess had already sent Yunliu and the others, along with the Cloud Army, away. They didn’t object because there were powerful bombs in the mansion now. However, the Princess also wanted to have the brothers from Xuntang Valley take the bombs and leave with the Prince, as they worried for her safety.
After they looked at each other, Shou’er said, “Your Highness, most of the Yun family army in the mansion will leave with the King. If we also let people from Xin Tanggu follow the King, then there won’t be many people left in the mansion. This… absolutely cannot happen. Moreover, if the King knew about it, he wouldn’t agree.”
“An Xuetang had already finished writing the letter. She blew on it, then folded it and put it in an envelope. She looked up at Shou’er and Ning’er. “I know you’re worried, but have you noticed anything unusual these past few days?”
Ning’er lowered her eyes and pondered, “Does the Princess think that the people sent to Youlan City previously had problems?”
“Hmm.”
An Xuetang’s expression was somewhat solemn. She held the letter and walked step by step to Shou’er and Ning’er, explaining in a cold voice:
“The city of Youlan is almost about to fall, but we haven’t heard anything from our people in Xuntang Valley. Xun led the people to Youlan City to deliver explosives. He shouldn’t be unaware of the situation there. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t hide it from us, so I suspect something happened during their journey, preventing them from contacting us.”
“Speaking of which, An Xuetang handed the letter to Ning’er. “Let Xunwu go with them. Besides having them follow Ajing and the others, it’s also to see if he can get in touch with Xunshi and his people. Xunshi and his people are responsible for transporting so many explosives. If those things fall into the enemy’s hands… our situation will be very dangerous.”
And have them bring only thirty bundles of explosives. There are still around twenty bundles left in the mansion. These explosives are enough to protect ourselves. We don’t really need to worry about the capital city. Just trust me on this, go prepare quickly. Ning’er, you deliver the letter to Yunliu.
Ning’er and Shou’er still wanted to say something more, but seeing their Princess like this, they knew the Princess had made up her mind. No matter how much they persuaded her, it would be useless.
Just then, Mo Yunjing returned, and the two silently retreated, leaving the couple alone. After all, Mo Yunjing would be leaving early tomorrow morning. It wouldn’t be good for them to not get along well at this time, the Princess would definitely be unhappy.
……
Mo Yunjing slowly walked up to An Xuetang, meeting her frowning face. He raised his lips and smiled, “What? Worried I can’t handle it?”
“Yes, after all, it’s war. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. Even if you are skilled in martial arts, one person can’t fight against thousands. If I said I wasn’t worried at all, that would be a lie.”
Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned down and kissed her forehead, saying with a smile, “I promise you, I will return safely. These days, you can rest assured in the mansion and nurture your baby, waiting for my good news, okay?”
