Chapter 1395 The Night King Goes to War, Mu 9 Goes into Seclusion
Yun Mujiu finally finished dealing with the matter between Princess Jiling and the two young masters of the Northern Realm, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart.
Ye Xiaohan was about to leave the capital, and the two of them had to handle many matters both inside and outside the city.
With the Ling family about to leave the capital, the two of them also wanted to quickly resolve all the mysteries.
In addition, Ling Xingmu, who was disguised as "Young Mu," did not dare to reveal his identity outside, and therefore the personal information he gave to Ji Ling was somewhat inaccurate, which caused their previous investigation to go astray.
Seven years ago, Ling Xingmu always had long bangs that covered his face, making it difficult to see his true appearance. His name only revealed a homophone. He said he was from the North but didn't specify that he was from the Ling family in the Northern Border.
But when he wanted to reveal everything to Ji Ling, he fell ill and became confused, and was taken back overnight.
Ji Ling also kept her travels a secret from everyone, afraid to reveal her true identity. She had considered removing her veil and formally introducing herself to the young man, but he didn't give her the chance. Or perhaps, fate simply didn't grant them a chance.
Fortunately, they eventually had the opportunity to meet each other and introduce their true selves.
...
In the afternoon, Yun Mujiu saw everyone off and returned to Qichi Courtyard, while Ye Xiaohan continued to handle official business, arranging all matters related to leaving the capital, especially those concerning Yun Mujiu's safety.
In the palace coup, he subdued the emperor and empress's military guards and also eliminated a group of assassins from the Biluo Blood Killing Society.
Looking at the present.
The emperor and empress no longer posed a significant threat and were able to check and balance each other.
He eliminated or warned assassin organizations, including Biluo and Duohun.
The factions that once existed, such as the deposed crown prince, the Di king, and Gao Yang, were also eliminated.
Various factions, such as Doctor Wu and the Northern Cold Dark Force, were also severely suppressed.
Meanwhile, on the enemy side, the Western Barbarians have a surviving crown prince who has returned to fight among himself, the Northern Han have a Grand Princess who is fighting with the Northern Han Emperor, and the Southern Tai have Prince Sen and Prince Gu who are stirring up trouble.
In short, the Night King did his best to arrange everything properly.
That evening, under the soft orange-yellow light, Yun Mujiu appeared in the Night King's study again, carrying a sleeping pillow.
Ye Xiaohan had already finished handling the government affairs and was just waiting for Yun Mujiu's arrival.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms, feeling each other's presence and warmth one last time.
...
The three-day preparation period for Zhong Yue's newly dispatched reinforcements quickly came to an end, and the Night King was to set off on his campaign early the next morning.
The weather was slightly overcast, with thick golden clouds floating high in the sky.
The Emperor, accompanied by his princes and civil and military officials, went out to the city gates of the capital to escort the Night King and his 50,000 troops on their expedition.
The people lined the streets to welcome him, chanting the name of the War God Prince Zhongyue.
Ye Xiaohan took off his usual exquisite robes and put on a pair of shimmering silver armor and black and gold cloud boots. His hair was tied up with a golden crown. He was handsome and spirited.
His handsome face was stunning, and his demeanor was exceptionally strong, both domineering and cold. The invisible pressure emanating from him could weigh heavily on everyone.
He accepted the farewell wine offered by the Emperor and said goodbye.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he strode towards a figure in the middle of the crowd.
A woman was wearing a simple yet elegant light red dress that accentuated her temperament. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, giving her a rather dashing and heroic air. Her outstanding appearance and figure caused a sensation among the onlookers, who had already noticed her presence.
Yun Mujiu was very surprised. She never expected that the man would abandon the emperor, the military ministers, and the soldiers and stride towards her.
Wearing armor, Ye Xiaohan walked resolutely towards Yun Mujiu, then pulled her to an empty space.
His eyes were filled with tenderness as he gently took her hand and said softly, "Take care of yourself, Mu Mu."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Please take good care of yourself as well." Yun Mujiu smiled gently and said sincerely, "I wish Your Highness and your soldiers a triumphant return."
Ye Xiaohan gently hummed in agreement, then raised his hand and ruffled the ends of Yun Mujiu's hair.
He turned around, mounted his horse with a majestic posture, and his robes fluttered in the wind.
The golden clouds dispersed, and golden light shone upon the earth, casting a radiant glow upon the divine-looking Night King.
Yun Mujiu's eyes flickered as she watched Ye Xiaohan ride away on horseback.
The Emperor gritted his teeth, staring intently at Ye Xiaohan's departing figure.
The imperial court granted the Night King 30,000 troops, but the Night King volunteered to lead 20,000 troops himself. 50,000 troops wasn't a large number, but the emperor was displeased with it.
In truth, he hoped that, if possible, Ye Xiaohan would die on his way to the battlefield…
News of the Night King leading his army into battle spread quickly, and the topic became the talk of the town.
Another piece of news also circulated: this morning, before the Night King set off on his campaign, he reminded the Emperor and the people of the Capital Prefecture that it was time to carry out Gao Yang's execution by waist-cutting.
After Gao Yang suffered greatly in prison, it was finally time to settle accounts with this wicked woman.
In addition, the Night King had the people of the Jingzhao Prefecture add another crime, presenting all the evidence of Gao Yang's abuse and murder of Princess Huiyang, as well as Gao Yang's bullying and suppression of Princess Jiling.
Early in the morning, shortly after dawn, Gao Yang was pushed onto the execution platform in front of the Meridian Gate Market in the capital, and the last remaining members of her faction were also completely wiped out.
"Crack!"
...
As soon as Yun Mujiu returned to the Night King's Mansion, she shut herself in and completely sealed off the mansion.
She publicly announced that she had caught a cold while out this morning and would be staying home to recuperate. During Ye Xiaohan's absence from the Ye Prince's residence, the situation in the capital was turbulent and unpredictable, with countless people, both openly and secretly, watching the Ye Prince's residence and Yun Mujiu.
Therefore, in order to reduce potential dangers and for the sake of peace and tranquility, Ye Xiaohan ordered Yun Mujiu to stay at home.
He and Yun Mujiu were well aware that closing the mansion was only a temporary measure, and that some changes would inevitably have to happen at times.
However, closing the mansion also has its advantages. At the very least, no one will come to disturb Yun Mujiu, and no one will dare to break into the Night King's mansion.
...
Not long after the Night King's army set off, the envoys from Bei Han and Nan Tai also departed.
Firstly, they had stayed in Zhongyue for too long and could no longer linger.
Secondly, now that Zhongyue is at war with the Western Yi, they also need to return to their homeland as soon as possible.
Thirdly, one of the reasons they had to leave was the pressure of the situation. These included: Yun Mujiu successfully getting the Northern Han people to fulfill their agreement to "get out of Zhongyue," Ye Xiaohan pushing the Bone Prince to lead the Southern Tai delegation away, and the Sen Prince being temporarily detained under the pretext of "staying behind to recover from injuries."
Given the current situation, all the people from Beihan and Nantai have left, and the people from Beijie can no longer stay.
The Northern Border is a special location, sandwiched between Zhongyue and Beihan. With the current turmoil in various countries, Young Master Ling and Young Master Ling, as members of the Ling family, must return to the Northern Border as soon as possible.
Before parting, Ling Xingmu met someone he had been longing for day and night at the villa.
