OBS Chapter 128 Shouting
Chapter 128 Shouting
In the night outside the Great Wall, the breeze always brings a hint of coolness, and bonfires are lit in the camp.
Mu Yan lifted the curtain and entered the tent. Mu Weihou had his hands behind his back. He stood beside the map, looking at it quietly.
Mu Yan took a piece of naan and walked over to give it to Mu Weihou. Mu Weihou glanced at him and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes, I just ate with them outside." Mu Yan said.
After hearing what Mu Yan said, Mu Weihou didn't say anything more this time. He took the naan from Mu Yan's hand, took a bite, then turned around and continued to look at the map hanging on the wall.
The naan bread didn't taste good. It was cold, hard, and even a little dry. The army was short of food, and two naan breads a day were enough to fill their stomachs. How could they choose?
When Mu Weihou swallowed the naan, his neck choked and he coughed. Mu Yan quickly got some water from the table next to him and gave it to him to drink.
Mu Yan said, "Dad, there has been no movement in the food and grass of the Southern Court Army. Is it hopeless? We only have enough food for three days. If the Beiqi people knew about this, they might not be able to wait and would launch a general attack on us."
Marquis Mu Wei sighed, "Now the news from the Southern Court's Imperial Guards has suddenly stopped, and there has been no response from the capital yet. I've noticed something is wrong."
Mu Yan said anxiously, "Father, we can't even enter Yanmen Pass at the moment. Zhang Liang, the interpreter of Yanmen Pass, first closed the city gate, saying that he was afraid that people from Beiqi might sneak in, and then he used the excuse that there was a plague inside the pass and the court was worried that it would harm the soldiers."
Mu Yan snorted: "Now you are too lazy to even give us excuses. I think we should just attack the city directly. Otherwise, we will die sooner or later outside the city."
Mu Weihou said in a low voice: "But once we attack the city, we will become rebels."
"Report!"
"Please come in!"
A soldier came into the tent with a letter and handed it to Mu Yan. Mu Yan took it and looked at it. He said with great joy, "Dad, it's Ah Jin who wrote to us."
When Mu Weihou heard this, his serious and majestic expression instantly softened.
When Mu Weihou took Mu Jin's letter and opened it, the corners of his mouth suddenly began to rise slowly, and then he burst into laughter. His laughter was full of joy, as if all his sorrows were dispelled by this letter.
Mu Yan looked at Mu Weihou's happy expression and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Dad, what good thing happened?"
Marquis Mu Wei held Mu Jin's letter and returned it to Mu Yan: "The plague in Dongyue was cured so quickly, thanks to our Ah Jin and that Eleven. The emperor granted Ah Jin the imperial grace for her contribution to saving the people, and she actually used this imperial grace to divorce Su Yuntian. As expected of my daughter, Marquis Mu Wei, you are really courageous."
After Mu Weihou finished speaking, he laughed loudly, showing his pride for Mu Jin.
Mu Yan was overjoyed after reading the letter: "Dad, Ah Jin is actually helping us raise food and grass. She found someone to help us buy food and grass in Nanshu Country, and it will be delivered to us soon."
Marquis Mu Wei smiled and said, "Neither the imperial court nor the Southern Court Guards can be trusted. I still have to rely on my Ah Jin."
Mu Yan's face was filled with joy: "That Eleven also recovered his memory. It turned out that he was the leader of Nangong Divine Sect. No wonder Ah Jin knew how to treat the plague. Ah Jin also said that she would try to reunite with us after a while.
Having said this, Mu Weihou seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his face faded again.
"The emperor will not let Ah Jin leave the capital so easily. With Ah Jin's current ability, I believe she will find a way to leave the capital, but it is also a difficult road to take. I am worried that Ah Jin will suffer."
Mu Yan knew the problem that Mu Weihou was referring to. At present, corruption was revealed from top to bottom in Dongyue State, and the people were living in poverty. In recent years, there have been continuous deaths from famine in various counties.
In the current chaotic situation at home and abroad, the emperor is still suspicious of them, cutting off their food supplies and preventing them from entering the country.
These soldiers have been away from their hometowns and loyal to the court for the well-being of the people of Dongyue.
However, the court's attitude was undoubtedly forcing them to rebel. The court only wanted to stir up trouble in this way, and then use this as an excuse to frame them for rebellion and put them to death.
Thinking of this, the father and son couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted again.
"Report!"
The father and son heard another soldier outside the tent come and report: "Come in."
"General, the Beiqi people are shouting outside the camp again! This time there are twice as many as last time."
Although the soldiers who came in were a little anxious, they did not seem panicky. It was obvious that such things had happened many times and they were almost used to it.
Mu Yan stamped his feet: "The damn Beiqi people are here to make trouble again!"
Mu Yan said to Mu Weihou, "Dad, what do you think the Beiqi people mean? These three-headed people were shouting outside our camp, and after we rushed out, they ran away again. They are like a dog-skin plaster, which is very annoying."
Mu Weihou snorted coldly: "What's the point? They are just short of food. They know that we are short of food, so they want to test our strength."
The people of Beiqi have been living a harder life since Mu Yan ambushed their camp and robbed their food last time. Every time they come to make trouble, it doesn't really cause any major friction.
The Beiqi people camped deep in the grassland, but they have not yet launched an attack on Yanmen Pass. They are obviously hesitant and have some concerns. They are hesitant and tentative. Either they don't have enough food or their commander is unsure. "
"Dad, let me go meet them this time!"
Marquis Mu Wei nodded, and Mu Yan and the soldier left Marquis Mu Wei's tent. Marquis Mu Wei did not leave the tent to see, as this was commonplace to him, so he did not take it seriously.
Mu Yan put on his armor, mounted his horse, led a thousand elite soldiers, and rushed out of the tent.
When the leader of the opposing army, General Beiqi, saw Mu Yan leaving the tent, he could not help but sneer and scold: "You Dongyue dogs finally dared to leave the camp. We thought you didn't want to be dogs anymore, but wanted to be turtles instead."
The people from Kitazaki behind the leader who was shouting all laughed when they heard it.
Mu Yan was so angry that his eyes were filled with gloom. Ye Qing saw this and advised him, "General, why do I feel that something is wrong with them today? It's like they are deliberately trying to lure you out of the camp."
Mu Yan snorted coldly: "Am I afraid of these bastards? Come on, all of them!"
After Mu Yan finished speaking, he took the lead, waving the big knife in his hand, and rushed towards the Beiqi people.
