Chapter 490 The Mistress

The distance from Kangju to Dayuezhi is not far; a fast horse could reach the destination in five days. However, this time, the Dayuan army was not launching a long-distance raid but was moving supplies, so it took them more than ten days to arrive.

Along the way, Wang Yushi and Heather walked silently behind the army, chatting occasionally during meals and rest periods, and the content of their conversations was almost always related to a certain person.

That day, Heather recounted how she met and fell in love with Qin Mo, and then asked Wang Yushi who she really was. Facing Heather's penetrating gaze, Wang Yushi frankly admitted that she was the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Heather's expression was strange at the time. At first, it was contempt, then it turned into anger, and finally she asked Wang Yushi helplessly if she knew a person named "Sisley Ulier". It was said that Qin Mo knew this person.

Wang Yushi said she didn't know her. If she knew that "Sisley Ulière" had an affair with the Queen of Prussia, she would probably turn against Heather.

Wang Yushi didn't think she had done anything to wrong Emperor Zhaowu... at least not now.

The differences between Eastern and Western cultures lead to many different perspectives on certain matters. To this day, the scandalous legend of the Prussian queen and the elven-blooded "Sisley Uriel" still circulates throughout the West.

Wang Yushi rarely talked to Hazel about her relationship with Qin Mo, but she did tell Hazel a lot of rumors and interesting stories about Qin Mo, which greatly interested Hazel.

After traveling together for several days, Wang Yushi finally realized that Hathaway was not actually a talkative person. The reason she chatted with her companions was actually to show off.

She flaunted her close relationship with Qin Mo, and her son, Little Harry, with Qin Mo. Of course, all of this was subconscious or unconscious; the happiness she exuded without her realizing it made Wang Yushi both annoyed and jealous.

The conversations between the two gradually became less harmonious, and sometimes there were inexplicable tensions.

Heatherine didn't know why she was willing to talk so much to Wang Yushi. She was always self-centered and oblivious to others, feeling that she should just say what she wanted to say!

"Hatherine, I really envy you, but I want to know how the Temple could allow a saint like you... to become an elder?"

Wang Yushi originally wanted to satirize Heatherine, the saint, for becoming "impure," but seeing little Harry drooling, she changed to a gentler approach, after all, someone was involved, and she had to save face for her.

"Hmm! This is actually quite simple... Qin Mo helped me advance to the Saint level, and with that strength, I can naturally do what I want!"

"...You said you...are a Saint-level being?"

"...Yes! Haven't you noticed?"

"……I……"

Wang Yushi was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She had been chatting with Hazel for so many days, and she never thought that the other party was a Saint-level being. This was too unbelievable.

"Qin Mo actually has a Saint-level 'concubine'... How could a Saint-level expert be willing to be someone's 'concubine'?" Wang Yushi really couldn't understand it.

In Daxia, "outer wives" generally refer to women taken in by officials stationed abroad or merchants traveling to other places; they are essentially similar to lovers in Xizhou.

Wang Yushi looked at Little Harry again, and her heart was no longer filled with envy, but only with jealousy, extreme jealousy.

This is the offspring of a Saint-level powerhouse!

Heatherine sensed the intense jealousy in Wang Yushi's eyes, but she had no intention of teaching Wang Yushi a lesson; she felt extremely satisfied.

"It's incredible, why am I so happy?" Kind-hearted Heatherine felt very embarrassed about her mood.

The army finally arrived at the Great Xia army camp east of Lan City. King Chang Le personally came out of the camp to greet them, giving Qin Mo a great deal of face.

"I am very pleased that Prince Heng has come from afar to aid Lan City. The world knows that the army of Da Yuan is elite, and the day when Lan City falls is not far off!"

"Your Highness, you flatter me. I am here to find opportunities for my men to gain military merit. As for attacking Lan City, I have no confidence in that!"

Qin Mo didn't give Prince Chang Le much face. He took out the order from the Central Military Commission, which clearly stated that Qin Mo was allowed to move freely within the territories of the Western Regions and seek suitable opportunities to hunt down enemies.

In other words, Qin Mo is still part of the Northern Route Army of the Western Expeditionary Force! If he thinks there is an opportunity to fight in the Yuezhi today, then he will operate in the Yuezhi. If he thinks there is an opportunity to fight in Kangju tomorrow, then he will return to Kangju.

The vague transfer order from the Prince of Anyang to Qin Mo greatly angered the Prince of Changle. The Central Military Commission was the highest command department of the Great Xia army. In order to limit the power of commanders leading troops in the field, the Central Military Commission often issued transfer orders directly to the troops at the front line to prevent commanders from becoming too powerful by amassing troops in the field.

Prince Chang Le is the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, but he is not the governor of the Central Army. Although it is not impossible to overturn the Central Army's order with strong measures, he is afraid that Qin Mo will leave with his men, which would be a loss of face for Qin Jian.

The current Qin Mo is no longer the imperial guard commander who can be bullied at will. When he gets angry, not only Prince Chang Le, but probably even Emperor Zhao Wu would be afraid.

"Your Highness, the morale of the Imperial Guards is wavering, and both Imperial Guard units have suffered heavy losses. At this critical moment for the nation, as a prince of the royal family, you should step forward and fight for His Majesty..."

Qin Mo looked at the eloquent eunuch behind Prince Chang Le and felt extremely irritated. He asked impatiently, "Who are you?"

"...My name is Wang Yan. I am honored by His Majesty's favor and currently serve as the Chief Military Supervisor of the Western Expeditionary Army."

"If you're going to be a military supervisor, then do your job. Don't you dare interfere or say anything out of line. Do you think you can just spout off about military secrets?"
