The seemingly fierce battle to the south ended in a hurry like a farce.
When news of the disappearance reached the Ming Palace, all the ministers looked happy and kept praising His Highness the Crown Prince for his talent, strategy, and decisiveness.
Mingyue was sitting on the dragon chair on the steps, but there was no emotion on her face, she just waved her hand calmly.
"Retreat!"
The eunuch on the side saw what he meant and was busy screaming and singing.
The ministers bowed to the ground and bowed, and carefully exited the palace. They really couldn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regained the lost ground so easily, and why he didn't even have a trace of smile.
Xu Zixiao followed Ming Yue respectfully towards the imperial study room, and finally spoke uncontrollably.
"Your Highness, there is something unclear about Zixiao!"
Ever since Nangong Xiao led troops to support the northwest, he has often walked around the palace. Although he knew that Mingyue did not need his protection, as a subordinate, he still had his own persistence.
Xu Zixiao understood that Mingyue was the person Mr. Mo cared about most, and naturally she was the person he wanted to protect the most.
"Look at this bird!" Mingyue stopped under the corridor and looked up at a birdcage hanging on the side of the corridor. "The food is obviously right at its mouth, but it didn't eat it immediately. Why?
!”
Xu Zixiao looked sideways at the birdcage, and sure enough, he saw that there were new birds and insects in the food box, but the bird was just combing its feathers lazily aside, not showing any signs of hurry.
He pondered for a moment, "I think it's probably not very hungry!"
"That's right!" Mingyue nodded lightly, "Besides that, there is another reason, because it knows that the bug is there, and it can swallow it at any time if it wants!"
Xu Zixiao raised his eyebrows lightly, "You mean, Ulan Kingdom also thinks this way?!"
"It's not Ulan Kingdom, it's the military advisor!" Mingyue looked up to the northwest, "I think he must be waiting for the most suitable opportunity, but he ate the meat in his mouth without hesitation.
Come out, this military advisor is absolutely extraordinary!"
Xu Zixiao's face also became serious, "Does he want to wait until we send troops to the south before taking action?!"
"Not only that!" Mingyue took a breath, "I think he has something else to wait for!"
Although he could not confirm the other party's identity, he was certain that the other party was a member of the demon clan.
This time, when the two armies met, except for the participation of a few demons, there was no trace of the demon orc army. There must be some reason for this.
But now, Mingyue hasn't figured it out yet.
======================
Crossing the large grasslands of Ulan Country, heading north.
It was just the beginning of autumn in Buli City, but it was already as cold as winter here.
You can even see remnants of snow in the fields that have been frozen all year round. Going further north through the cold mountains and thousands of snow forests that are covered with snow all year round, you will reach the North Sea.
At this time, thin ice had formed on the North Sea.
Thousands of acres of snowy fields are covered with silvery white. Among this silvery white, two small black spots are particularly obvious.
The Demon King gently stepped on the ice beneath his feet, "Will we have to wait another three months?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Blood Bat replied respectfully, "Wait another three months, and when the long nights of winter come, the ice will be thick enough, and our army can successfully cross the North Sea!"
The Demon King nodded slightly, "In three months, the north-south road in the Misty Forest should be opened. By then, it will be the time for my Demon Army to truly move south!"
Blood Bat coughed and said, "My subordinates don't understand. Why do you want to abandon Chifeng Fortress?!"
