ent, she nodded slightly:""I dreamt that Zi Ling was in trouble. A dozen or so men in black attacked him and Yun Wu, among others. In my dream, he was stabbed by the men in black, and now... his life...After Mo Yunchen finished venting his anger, someone beside him spoke up at the right time, “Your Highness, now is not the time to argue with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince always holds military power. Perhaps Your Highness should first try to get along with the Crown Prince. After all, he is your own son. There will be a day when he can distinguish between closeness and distance.”
Thinking of Mo Junyi, Mo Yunchen let out a cold snort, "He's always had his heart set on Ajing. Who knows when he'll be able to tell the difference between close and distant relatives!"
"Your Highness, this takes time. The Crown Prince will come around eventually. It's Cloud One who is truly troublesome. Your Highness has offered to help the Northern Border King with his military duties several times, but Cloud One always stands in your way. He... must not be allowed to remain."
Of course Mo Yunchen knew this, he darkened his face and fell silent for a moment. “First, keep an eye on their movements. Most importantly, find the ‘weapon’ mentioned in the letter.”
The reason he kept Yun Yi around was that he still didn't know what the secret weapon that had allowed Dayue Nation to be extinguished overnight was.
Before he went to see King Lan, Lan Chu Xiao, even Lan Chu Xiao said that the most important thing to control the Northern Frontier army was to find that secret weapon. Otherwise, their Lan Nation army wouldn't dare to rashly attack.
After all, the war between Beijiang and Dayue Kingdom resulted in heavy casualties. Most importantly, Dayue Kingdom lost so many people in just a short period of time. As for the Beijiang army, they suffered virtually no losses whatsoever.
This is what truly frightens him!
Mo Yunchen's subordinates arched their hands, "Yes, I will personally keep an eye on it."
This person turned to leave, before even reaching the door, they heard Mo Yunchen say again, "Arrange for people to ambush outside the city. Since the letter told them to bring that 'weapon' back to the capital, Yun San definitely won't go empty-handed. We can take it from him."
"Yes."
On the other side, Yun Yi returned to the council camp and immediately called Yun San over. The two discussed and decided who should return to the capital together.
Yun Yi selected people who were almost all the elites in Yun's army. When Yun San heard this, his brow furrowed, "Big Brother, once these people follow me back, if...if there's really something wrong with the Prince's side, how can you hold up alone"
Yun Yi pondered for a moment, then said softly, "The King and the Queen are important, but so is our young prince."
"But what about the Crown Prince..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun Yi coldly said, “Yun San, the Crown Prince is raised by the King himself. You don't trust him”
Yun San pondered for a moment. He had always believed in the complexities of the human heart. He once believed that the bond between the Crown Prince and their King was deep and unbreakable, that the Crown Prince would never do anything to harm their King. However, since the Crown Prince's arrival, his actions had been clear as day. They were all aware of the Crown Prince's ambition.
If the Prince and Princess are not in the capital, no matter how hard the Crown Prince tries to attack the city, the Yun family army will never say a word of opposition.
But now that the prince and princess are still in the capital, if he rashly raises an army, what kind of predicament will it put the prince and princess in
Most importantly, the Crown Prince even wanted to collude with the Blue Nation. The people of the Blue Nation are inherently cruel. Although the Blue King has a different kind of relationship with their prince, if war truly broke out, what would become of the many people in North Border
If the Blue Army enters the city, they will burn, kill, and loot, committing all sorts of atrocities. In the end, it will be the people of Beijang who will suffer death, injury, and hardship.
Thinking of how the people their prince has protected with his life for all these years are being treated this way, how could they possibly bear it
Yun San sighed, "I understand that the Crown Prince wants the Emperor dead, but innocent people are caught in the crossfire. If he starts a war, with our King's temperament, he won't stand idly by. Who knows what kind of situation we'll face then"
Yun Yi also knew very well. After a moment of silence, Yun Yi looked up, "Yun San, time waits for no man. You should quickly lead your men back to the capital, and... that thing... must be brought along."
Yun San had no choice. In their eyes, the prince's safety was paramount, and at this moment, they could only follow Yun Yi's arrangements.
He had just replied when Mo Junyi came in directly, "Yuni, Yunsan can't leave. I'm taking people back to Beijing."
Yunyī and Yunsān looked at each other, and both said in unison, "No."
"It's nothing to worry about, Yun San. As a general, you shouldn't leave camp easily."
Yun Yi was just about to speak when Mo Junyi continued, "Yun Yi, you can't deny that if something happens in Lan Guo, you wouldn't be able to handle it alone. Especially since your father has met people from Lan Guo besides the king, including a general from Xi Liang."
"... "
Yunyī and Yunsān looked at each other, it seemed the prince knew everything.
Mò Jūn Yì pursed his lips, "I know what my father has done. The camp is still under your control, and as long as you're here, he won't dare do anything."
Upon finishing, Mo Junyi took out the military talisman from his person and handed it to Yun Yi. "This son will hand over the military talisman to you. As long as you prevent His Majesty's people from succeeding, you and Yun San will definitely find a way to cope. In terms of warfare, His Majesty can't compare to you two. Therefore, on this return to the capital, this son is the most suitable candidate."
Hearing Mo Junyi stand on their prince's side, word by word, Yun Yi and Yun San had a hint of relief in their eyes. Fortunately, there was only one white-eyed wolf.
But Yun Yi still shook his head, refusing to agree. "Young Master, please don't say any more. When the Duke gave you the military talisman, he probably already anticipated today's situation. If you truly left, then everything the Duke has worked for these past years would be for naught."
Mò Jūn Yì pursed his lips, no matter what he said next, Yún Yī just refused.
Yun San ultimately still led the thousands of masters from the Yun Family Army out of camp.
The Cloud Army are all loyal to the prince. They are different from the Northern Border Army. The Northern Border Army obeys both the prince and the princess, but they also obey whoever holds the military talisman.
Furthermore, these men from the Cloud Army held important positions within the camp. They were responsible for highly confidential matters. Now that so many of them have left, they can only rely on the Northern Border Army to fill their roles.
Yun San led people away, Mo Jun Yi's eyes held some worry, he looked at Yun Yi, "So many people leaving all at once, in the coming days, you have to be careful."
His father had long been eyeing Yun Yi in order to obtain something. Now that Yun San had taken away so many important people, his father would not let go of this good opportunity.
Yun Yi curled her lips into a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Young Master."
Mo Junyi thought for a moment, "Forget it, from today onwards, I'll place the two tigers by your side." a proper night's rest.Feng Ming had been keeping her company in the train carriage these past few days. Whenever he saw that she wasn't resting well, he would order her to close her eyes and take a n...
