Han Yun was now staring straight at Mo Yunjing, hoping he would explain.
But Mo Yunjing showed no intention of explaining at all. He continued to stare intently at the map in his hands, seemingly studying it intently.
Han Yun didn’t dare to make a sound, disturbing the passing of time.
The big tent was stiflingly oppressive. After waiting for a while, Han Yun decided to go out for some fresh air. As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he looked up and saw that under the dim sky, these motionless mountains seemed like ferocious beasts poised to attack them at any moment.
He glanced at the soldiers surrounding him. Though seated, none had laid down their weapons, and silence reigned as not a single word was spoken.
He had come out to get some fresh air, but the scene before him only made him feel more suffocated.
After a moment’s hesitation, he returned to the big tent as if resigned to his fate.
Mo Yunjing heard the noise and glanced back at him, his voice calm. “Scared?”
“What do I have to fear? You are guarding the borders of Xuan Country, not mine. If it ever comes down to a desperate situation, with my light footwork, I wouldn’t even worry about getting away.”
Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow. “If you run into Bai Feng, you really won’t be able to get away.”
“!”
Hanyun had never felt so speechless before, nor did she know that Moyunjing’s mouth was so venomous.
He held it in, but eventually couldn’t take it anymore. Under Mo Yunjing’s obscure gaze, he directly rolled his eyes at him.
Seeing him with a look of anger but unable to speak, Mo Yun Jing’s lips finally curved into a rare smile.
Yun Jiu and the others prepared some dried food. After everyone had eaten, Mo Yun Jing finally began to enter a state of readiness for war.
He started deploying, and when Yun Jiu and the others were all preparing, Han Yun discovered that Mo Yun Jing hadn’t assigned him a task. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled and asked, “What about me?”
“Your Majesty requires you to go up the mountain.”
He then pointed out a shortcut to Han Yun for going up the mountain, and told him how to walk so as to avoid the troops of the Red Nation.
After Mo Yunjing finished explaining, Han Yun immediately acted.
……
Another hour passed before Mo Yunjing ordered the servants to clear the table. He then walked leisurely out of the big tent.
His pair of kind and gentle eyes slowly lifted, glancing towards the mountain peak. His eyes were filled with endless darkness, no stormy waves, only an engulfing undercurrent. He inadvertently exuded a chilling aura.
The surrounding soldiers, witnessing such a scene of Mo Yunjing, felt as if they were in hell. Even Buddha could transform into a demon; none dared to breathe.
Even Yun Jiu and other trusted confidants did not dare to show any inappropriate expressions at this time.
They looked at their own prince, then at each other, and then tacitly beckoned several soldiers not far away to take down the big tent.
After a while, a raging fire suddenly erupted on the nearby mountain peak. The eerie silence of the night was immediately shattered by terrified screams and cries of agony that echoed clearly.
The soldiers stationed here instantly tightened their grip on their weapons, looking at each other in surprise.
They listened to the sounds from the mountaintop, their hearts sinking with unease.
Yúnjiǔ immediately understood, walked to the front of the soldiers, and made a gesture.
Suddenly, everyone held their breath in anticipation.
Sure enough, after just a moment, arrows shot out from the forest one after another, heading straight for them.
Luckily everyone was prepared with shields, and the arrows that came flying in did not manage to injure anyone.
Next, a group of red-country elite soldiers roared “kill” and charged out from the direction of the red country.
Each person’s sword reflected the cold light, and for a moment, everyone was surrounded by a heavy aura of killing intent.
But the screams from atop the mountain continued to sound, and Yun Ji could clearly see that after these elite soldiers of the Chi Kingdom rushed out, their expressions were all filled with astonishment, as if they couldn’t believe what they saw before them.
Yun Jiu looked thoughtfully at the hill in the distance, watching the movement after the use of explosives. In an instant, he understood what was going on today.
The chief deputy of the Red Nation quickly realized something was wrong, and immediately shouted, “We’ve been tricked, retreat!”
At this moment, the elite soldiers of the Red Nation came to their senses. They disregarded everything and, upon receiving the order from their deputy general, swiftly turned around and sprinted back.
Now that things have come to this, how could Yun Jiu and the others let them just leave?
Under Yun Jiu’s leadership, the soldiers of Youlan City surged forward. In a matter of moments, they stopped the fleeing troops of Chi Guo and swiftly surrounded them.
Yun Jiu raised his long halberd and shouted, “Kill them!”
Faced with death, the soldiers almost without hesitation, immediately raised their weapons and charged toward the enemy.
A fierce battle erupted instantly, swords clashing to produce icy sparks, blood splattering onto the grass and trees. Soon, the elite soldiers of the Red Nation were outnumbered and outmatched, falling one after another.
The deputy general of the Red Nation saw that the situation was not good, and judged that they had no chance to retreat today. He turned around and wanted to run away.
Yun Jiu Yu Guang saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly. He pulled his long spear out of the body of an enemy soldier in front of him and leaped forward, blocking the path of the deputy general of the Chi Nation in the next instant.
Suddenly, the lieutenant’s face changed. Before he could react, Yun Jiu had already raised his long halberd and chopped down at his neck.
The deputy general of the Red Country only had time to scream before he died instantly.
To catch a thief, first capture the king. With the deputy general dead, the rest of the Red Country’s soldiers immediately panicked and wanted to retreat, but unfortunately, they had no chance.
Just as they were about to be silenced, reinforcements arrived from the Red Nation. However, these reinforcements proved worse than useless.
These people who came are hardly reinforcements.
They didn’t come here willingly, but were being chased by the elite soldiers of the Yun Family Army. They just happened to run into this place.
Han Yun and Yunliu, along with others, also followed up. They were right behind them, relentlessly pursuing them, forcing this group to run here.
And Bai Feng also appeared at this time, slowly walking from behind Yunliu and Han Yun, his gaze falling on Mo Yunjing.
He walks step by step towards Mo Yunjing.
For some reason, when everyone saw him walking towards the King of Beijng, they instinctively stopped what they were doing and made way for him.
Even Han Yun could see that this wasn’t a war, but rather a game of wits between Bai Feng and Mo Yun Jing. The two were constantly trying to outmaneuver each other, setting traps and probing for weaknesses.
But obviously, in this game of wits, Mo Yunjing was clearly the more skilled player.
At least, tonight ten thousand elite soldiers from the Red Country were almost wiped out here.
At that moment, Bai Feng stopped a short distance from Mo Yun Jing and said, “Hand over the painting.”
He had just learned from Han Yun that the portrait of An Xue Tang had been given to Mo Yun Jing.
