Chapter 1400 Western Barbarian Reinforcements, Night King's Great Battle
Consort Yu was visibly stunned when she heard her own son's question.
She didn't know how to answer Ye Chuhe, and just murmured the same question repeatedly: "Do I know what I'm saying?" She should know, right?
Ye Chuhe glanced over calmly and said, "Mother, it's not that you and your maternal grandfather's family were righteous and didn't take advantage of the situation, nor that you and your maternal grandfather's family were just and didn't send troops to deal with the Night King. It's just that you were powerless and cowardly at that time."
This means that they didn't have good intentions; they just hadn't found an opportunity to do something bad.
So let's not pretend that they helped the Night King and Queen.
After Ye Chuhe finished speaking, he left Consort Yu without looking back, leaving behind a word of advice.
“Mother, you represent more than just yourself. I hope you will be more careful with your words and actions in the future.”
"I expected this, there's nothing surprising about it," Yun Mujiu said calmly. She had long been aware of the wickedness of human nature.
Ying Liu, who reported the news about Consort Yu and her son, had a slightly somber expression and couldn't help but mutter a complaint about Consort Yu.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Night King sent back earth-shattering news from the front lines…
Ye Xiaohan has been fighting on the front lines for almost a month, engaging in numerous battles, large and small, with the Western Barbarians, and dealing with countless sneak attacks.
Zhong Yue's army was gradually improving in strength, and could have continued to suppress the Western barbarian army as planned.
However, in addition to the 500,000 troops stationed on the border, the Western Barbarians have sent another 200,000 reinforcements!
With the arrival of the new enemy forces, the atmosphere on the battlefield has become even more tense and intense!
In fact, logically speaking, Zhongyue was the most powerful of the four countries, and its military strength should have been far superior to that of the Western Barbarians.
However, the Western Yi were a nation with a predominantly nomadic lifestyle, and their overall demeanor was arrogant and barbaric. They preferred robbery and killing to a stable life and survival on their own.
Therefore, compared to Zhongyue, Beihan, and Nantai, the Western Yi people were more inclined to have a system of universal conscription, with most eligible men joining the army.
When war breaks out, those soldiers who left the army to return to their daily lives, along with other civilians with good martial arts skills, would rejoin the army, forming a tight-knit group to seize what they wanted from other countries.
The military strength of the Western Barbarians should not be underestimated.
The Western barbarians had an army of 700,000, along with their own valiant cavalry. Their innate racial and ethnic advantages were also greater than those of people from other countries.
Zhong Yue had an army of over 600,000. Although they were inferior to the Western Barbarians in some aspects, they could not possibly be a bad army. Moreover, with the Night King in command and the Golden Guard as a solid force, they were not afraid of the barbaric Western Barbarians at all.
The war broke out again, and Ye Xiaohan deployed his troops and engaged in battle with the Western Barbarian army once more.
The four Western Barbarian Martial Gods held the rear and did not go to the battlefield, while the newly trained Martial King served as the vanguard, possessing formidable strength.
The imperial army was unable to withstand the onslaught and suffered repeated defeats, ending in a very sorry state.
Ye Xiaohan narrowed his eyes and, facing the Zhongyue army flag that was flapping in the wind, loudly gave his orders.
"The elite Golden Guard, follow me on the expedition!"
So what if the Western Barbarians have a large number of martial kings? Their Golden Guard is also full of experts!
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The loud responses echoed across the battlefield, as if the ground itself was about to tremble.
The Marquis of Xixiang and several generals of the imperial army shook their heads repeatedly. The Night King and the Golden Guard were growing stronger and stronger, a fact that fueled their hatred. Just watching them fueled their own jealousy and resentment towards the Night King, much like the Emperor himself! Why was the Night King able to rise again instead of being assassinated?
The Western Barbarian commander and several deputy commanders saw the Night King's entourage in afar and couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts.
"too strong!"
Facing this peerless war god, a rare occurrence in a century, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse for the Western barbarians!
The battle raged from the afternoon until the early hours of the next day, ultimately ending in a resounding victory for Kim Jong-eun.
Ye Xiaohan, with a solemn expression, strode back to the camp, wearing blood-stained armor.
They won their first major battle after the Western Barbarians reinforced their troops.
...
Two days later, news of the Night King's victory in yet another great battle had still not reached the capital.
At that time, Emperor Haolian became restless again. He wanted to target Yun Mujiu in order to suppress and blackmail Ye Xiaohan, but Yun Mujiu remained secluded. He then tried to target the Meng family, but Meng Shihao and Meng Ninglang were both on sick leave.
For a moment, the Emperor was at a loss, scratching his head in frustration. Imperial Physician Shi could only cite the words Yun Mujiu had used when he examined the Emperor, advising him to rest and recuperate, and to prioritize the Emperor's health.
The Emperor impatiently dismissed Imperial Physician Shi, and at the same time temporarily abandoned his intention to take action against Yun Mujiu.
The power shifts in the capital are not solely due to the Emperor's covetousness of Yun Mujiu and the Night Prince's Mansion.
Two days later, some people shifted their attention from the Night King's Mansion to the Duke of Meng's Mansion.
Someone secretly lured the incredibly large and burly Meng Shihao out of the Duke of Meng's mansion, claiming that an old friend of Meng Shihao's was seriously ill and he wanted to see him one last time.
Meng Shihao secretly went out without telling his family. When he arrived at his friend's house, he discovered that the people inside were not his friends. He was then captured alive by a group of men in black who had been lying in wait inside.
Meng Shihao quickly realized what was happening and shouted, "I'd rather die than submit! Don't even think about using my worthless life to harm my family!"
"Even a worthless life has its value!" The man in black sneered, ordered Meng Shihao to be tied up, and then simultaneously broadcast the news of Meng Shihao's arrest to both the Duke of Meng's mansion and the Night King's mansion.
"Have Yun Mujiu take five million taels of silver notes and go alone to the deep mountains outside the city to redeem Meng Shihao, or else torture and kill Meng Shihao!"
Although Duke Meng, Meng Ninglang, and Lady Yi were anxious, they did not want to implicate Yun Mujiu. They thought of keeping it from Mujiu and sent Ninglang to negotiate.
Duke Meng bluntly stated, "Shihao is foolish. We should save him if we can, but we absolutely must not trouble Mu Jiu!"
Unexpectedly, Yun Mujiu had barely noticed the unusual situation at the Duke of Meng's residence when she realized something might have happened. Then, she received a message from the man in black.
Immediately, Yun Mujiu briefly explained some information to Steward Zeng and the others, then took Suixi Fusang and slipped away to the Duke of Meng's mansion.
"Grandfather, Aunt, Ning Lang, please don't interfere. I'll take care of Uncle's safety!"
"No, no, no, how can you do this! With the Prince not here, we must protect you even more!"
"Oh, I said it's okay, so it's okay, you can trust me!" Yun Mujiu blinked and said playfully, "Besides, I didn't say it had to be me, the Night Princess, who came to save people."
Duke Meng pondered, "Mu Jiu, do you have any other more suitable candidates?"
Yun Mujiu smiled mysteriously—"I have a very capable person here with me."
The founder of Xianggen Pavilion, Master Yuan, can take this opportunity to make a grand appearance in the world and show his influence and power in the martial arts world!
