Chapter 175 Beauty and the Beast
(1st update)
This was the first time for everyone to see so many mosquitoes in their lives. Naturally, they didn't know the reason, so they could only take Mo Xi's words with suspicion.
No matter what, the Northern Desert army was defeated today.
…
Northern Desert.
"His Royal Highness, you have been banned by the Emperor. If you sneak out, you may be punished." Yi Gantai accompanied his master Tuoba Lie over the wall while still persuading him.
"Isn't it because I was punished that I couldn't go out?" After Tuoba Lie finished speaking, he jumped out of the wall.
But at this time, he was wearing coarse cloth and looked like a poor common man.
Prince Tuoba Lie was naughty and unruly by nature, and it was common for him to get into trouble. Either he made a lady from a minister's family faint with anger, or the Northern Desert Emperor became angry because he didn't want to get married, and it was common for him to be punished.
However, news came from his cronies in the army that the Northern Desert Army sent 100,000 troops to conquer the Great Dynasty.
And the reason is: the evidence is conclusive that people from the Great Dynasty stole the beloved pet of Emperor Tuoba Yi of the Northern Desert.
So this time he wanted to sneak out even more.
The little girl said she wanted to pay back the money, but if she really comes to Beimo, if her father’s people find out that it was the little girl who kidnapped her,
If she takes away his game, he will never let her go.
The two of them quickly left Xingjing City in the Northern Desert. Their subordinates had already prepared horses and were waiting at the agreed upon location outside the city.
"How is the battle going?" Tuoba Lie took the horse's reins and asked casually.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! The general lost more than 5,000 soldiers in his first battle."
"Oh! What about the casualties among the soldiers of the Great Dynasty?" After Tuoba Lie asked, he jumped on his horse.
"The great dynasty..." The subordinate paused and continued, "Not a single soldier was injured or killed."
"What?" Before Tuoba Lie could say anything, Yi Gantai said in surprise: "How is it possible? Even if the Great Chao Kingdom used treacherous tactics, our five thousand soldiers would not have been in vain."
"Who will challenge?" Tuoba Lie narrowed his unruly and wild eyes.
"It's a little girl who accepted the challenge!"
"What?" Yi Gantai confirmed in surprise: "You said that our army of 100,000 people called for formation, and the Great Chao Kingdom sent a little girl to fight?"
"yes!"
Yi Qiantai jumped up to the man, pressed his hand on the man's forehead, made sure he was not hot, and then said: "You are not sick either, how can you talk nonsense?"
"Everything my subordinate said is true. The great dynasty only sent one person and one horse to fight, and she was a young girl with no sharp sword." After finishing his words, he added: "She even held the emperor's pet to compete with her."
When Tuoba Lie heard this, he immediately jumped off his horse and jumped between Yi Gantai and the man.
Yi Gantai felt that he was so close to being stepped on by his own prince.
Yigantai was so frightened that he ducked away when his prince asked: "Does that girl have red spots on her face?"
The man was startled by the question and thought for a moment: "Your Highness, the girl wore a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly!"
But Tuoba Lie has already confirmed that it is Mo Xi, because Zhulu never got close to anyone before, and even in front of his father, he was not as obedient as the little girl was around him that day.
Being led by a girl, that girl cannot be anyone else.
"She alone injured five thousand of our Northern Desert soldiers?" Tuoba Lie asked again. No one could believe this.
A little girl without a blade killed five thousand strong and well-trained soldiers in Bei Desert.
There is nothing manpower can do about this.
"Prince, it was not that girl who killed my soldiers. It was an inexplicable natural disaster!"
"Act of God!!!"
The Northern Desert army was defeated and fled, but no one thought it was related to a girl in front of the battle. In the end, it was attributed to a natural disaster...
…
At the border of Dachao, everyone had just descended from the city tower.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Under the city tower, Mo Xi and Rong Xiao were about to get on the carriage and go home, when an imperial edict came and chased them to the front line of the northern Xinjiang city defense.
Prince Rongchen was filled with anger. After all, he had lost ten thousand taels of gold and the precious century-old Tianshan Snow Lotus in vain. But when he saw the imperial edict coming, his red and swollen face revealed a twisted and sinister smile.
King Yubei narrowed his sharp eyes and bowed his hands to the official who delivered the order.
He is the only king with a different surname in the Great Dynasty. He has made great contributions to the Northern Territory and does not need to kneel before the Holy One.
Everyone else, except Rong Xiao, had to kneel down, even the prince Rong Chen.
After Rong Xiao became unable to walk with his legs, Emperor Ming Zhao issued an order to exempt him from all kneeling rituals.
"His Royal Highness King Qing, Princess Qing accepts the order."
Mo Xi frowned. She had never knelt down before anyone in her entire life, but she still knelt down to avoid getting into trouble.
She really didn't like the etiquette of kneeling back and forth. Once she knelt down, her knees would be red for two days.
"The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict:
King Qing Rongxiao and Princess Mo Xi worked together to eliminate the swine plague for the people of Taiyou, and also treated the prince of the dynasty, the third son of King Yubei and many people who were infected. They made great contributions to the safety of the people of our dynasty.
I specially give King Qing and Princess the nourishing holy product."
"Princess Qing, this is the list of gifts."
"My son, I thank my father for the reward."
Mo Xi thanked her and took the list to read.
One thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, two thousand-year-old ginseng, ten pounds of Cordyceps sinensis, twenty packs of bird's nests, ten pounds of sea cucumbers, ten pounds of dendrobium, a hundred pearls, twenty pounds of snow clams, and ten pairs of deer antlers.
Although the emperor did not reward him with gold or silver, these nourishing medicinal materials really caught Mo Xi's fancy.
Rong Mei was weak and could not buy some things even with money. Now that the emperor has given them these, he is really thoughtful.
But the prince over there, Rong Chen, already had a face as deep as the bottom of a pot.
He clearly wrote a letter to his uncle personally explaining how to operate it. Even though he was actually infected with the swine epidemic later, he still arranged for people to block all news. Letters sent to and from the capital were also secretly checked by confidants, and any information about the epidemic was
Regarding the matter, all the evidence for Cheng Qing by King Qing and Princess Qing was destroyed.
In other words, the emperor will never know the truth of the matter, right?
He looked at Rong Xiao, who was still sitting calmly. Could it be that he had someone hidden?
But then I think about it, he has been kept as a hostage in the Yong Kingdom, living a precarious life every day, and he is always on guard against being killed. He lives cautiously to this day. How can he have the opportunity to have private relations with the great dynasty?
Make friends.
Could it be King Goboku?
But the prince quickly denied his suspicion.
After all, he is Diao Youning's future husband, and his honor and disgrace in his official career are all related to the happiness of his beloved daughter's life. How could he help a divorced King Qing who has no power or soldiers.
"My prince finally came to Northern Xinjiang once, but he couldn't see the war with his own eyes. It's really a pity."
Fanning a jade fan, dressed in silver brocade clothes, with white jade hair tied in a bun, Yin Momomo came in with gleaming peach blossom eyes. On the left was Erha, a scumbag, and on the right was Xiao Bajie, a black and white pig.
Seeing Rong Xiao sitting upright, he breathed a sigh of relief and then lazily clicked his tongue.
When Mo Xi saw this combination, they were version 5.0 of Beauty and the Beast.
It turned out that Mo Xi, Rong Xiao and Diao Chuan were taken away by Diao Chengyi's soldiers, so these two little guys went to move the rescue soldiers.
