All the demonic armies received the order to retreat. Although they were confused and confused, they still quickly carried out the order from top to bottom, packed up their belongings, exited outside the north gate of Changbei City, and headed north.
When the news reached the Ming Army camp, Mingyue was helping Mo Li comb his hair.
Young eunuchs usually dress up by pulling their hair into a bun and wearing a hat. Mo Li has never been good at this kind of thing. There are no maids in the army, so Mingyue will naturally not let other men touch Mo Li.
Naturally take matters into your own hands.
"Retreat?!" Mo Li straightened his neck, a bit surprised in his tone, "When did it happen?!"
"It started at dawn, and now I'm afraid it's almost finished!" Chen Li lowered his hands and stood aside respectfully.
Li Qiye glanced at Ming Yue in the mirror, inserting the hairpin into her hair, and gently waved to Chen Li.
Chen Li exited the tent, and Mo Li raised his face and looked at Mingyue, "You don't seem surprised?!"
Turning her head towards the mirror, Mingyue carefully adjusted the angle of the hairpin for her, and then put the eunuch's gauze hat on her head, "I think the punishment of the great priest will come soon!"
Li Li stood up, "What do you mean?!"
Mingyue knotted the hatband around her neck, "Having kept a low profile for so long, it's time to take action!"
Mo Li clasped his hands together and cracked his knuckles.
"I've been putting up with that guy Gong Ao for a long time, and I'm going to kill him tonight!" At this point, she suddenly stopped, "Speaking of which, why didn't I see Gong Ao yesterday? Isn't he a big deal with Punishment?
Did the priest come with you?!"
"I think you'll be able to see him soon!" Mingyue said with a smile.
As soon as Mingyue finished speaking, the guard's announcement came from outside the door, "His Royal Highness, punish the visit of the great priest!"
Li Qiye chuckled, "Sure enough, if you say dog, the dog will come!"
Mingyue also laughed and said, "Let's go!"
Li Qiye followed him to the door. Mingyue raised her hand to pick up the curtain. She spoke softly behind him, "You went to see him last night, right?!"
Mingyue's raised hand froze in the air, turned around, and he looked at her face seriously, "The withdrawal is his own wish!"
"I know that he is a proud person just like you!" Mo Li took a step forward and raised the curtain, "Your Highness, please!"
She had already entered the role of a little eunuch, and Mingyue didn't feel like saying anything, so she just walked out of the tent.
In the meeting room, the high priest of punishment was already waiting, and several priests that Mo Li had met before were also there, but Gong Ao was not seen.
After the pleasantries, the punishing high priest went straight to the point, "His Royal Highness, you said yesterday that you would give me an answer this morning!"
"I think the great priest has just received the news that the demons have withdrawn from Changbei City. I have sent people to investigate. Changbei City is now an empty city. I have decided to send troops to take back Changbei City now. I don't know what the situation is.
What does the priest want?!"
Of course, the great priest of punishment already knew about such a huge movement.
"Your Highness, don't you think this is strange?!"
"What's so strange about this?!" Mingyue raised her chin proudly, "The Ming army plus the temple's tens of thousands of horses are nearly twice the number of the demon army. There is no food and grass in Changbei City. If we besiege the city, we won't be able to use it much.
They will become trapped beasts, and if it were me, I would wisely choose to retreat to Sao Feng City!"
