Zhao Muyun arrived at the Shenji Camp's garrison in the west of the city.
Inside the camp, the craftsmen were working diligently to produce powerful oil and thunderclap bombs.
"Grand Commander!" Liu Yi greeted him. "We currently have five hundred large-sized thunderclap bombs, five hundred small-sized thunderclap bombs, and six hundred cans of fierce fire oil."
“Not enough.” Zhao Muyun shook his head. “There may be large-scale battles ahead. I will write to Pei Lun, and you can send someone to Xijing to ask the Prince of Jin to send all the firearms currently in the armory!”
After arranging military affairs, Zhao Muyun climbed onto the city wall.
As the sun sets, wisps of smoke rise from the distant Fengtian Army camp.
It appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.
"Husband!" A soft voice came from behind.
Zhao Muyun turned around and saw that it was Yin Yao. She was immediately surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Yin Yao's shoulder, looking her over from left to right, afraid that she might be hurt in any way.
"Yao'er, why are you here? This is the front line of the battlefield, it's very dangerous!"
Isn't Yin Yao in Xijing?
She was wearing a plain dress, her face showed some fatigue, but her eyes were still bright.
"My brother received your letter, saying that you came directly to Wannian without entering the city of Xijing. So Sister Ruolan and Sister Naxue asked me to come and see my husband!"
"It just so happens that Lord Fan sent someone to deliver provisions to Wannian, so I came along!" Yin Yao walked to his side and looked out of the city. "The war... must be very difficult."
Zhao Muyun nodded: "It's alright, the most difficult time is over."
Yin Yao was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "In Xijing City, rumors are spreading. Some people say... that my husband is holding military power and wants to establish himself as emperor."
Zhao Muyun's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm: "Does Yao'er believe it?"
“I don’t believe it.” Yin Yao looked up at him, her gaze firm. “If my husband had any ulterior motives, he wouldn’t have rushed to our aid from Hedong in the first place. It’s just that some people are suspicious.”
“I understand.” Zhao Muyun smiled wryly. “It is a taboo throughout history for someone to be too powerful and overshadow their master. Once we defeat Yang Chao, I will voluntarily relinquish some of my military power to reassure everyone.”
"No!" Yin Yao exclaimed urgently, "In these chaotic times, military power is life itself. If my husband relinquishes military power, how can we defend against Li Jingang? How can we reclaim our lost territories?"
She realized she had lost her composure: "What I mean is... my brother trusts his husband. It's just that there are dissenting voices in the court; we shouldn't worry about them too much."
Looking at her pretty face, Zhao Muyun felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Thank you for your trust, Yao'er. In this life, I will never fail the Great Yin Dynasty or the people."
"Didn't the late emperor say that our future child would be named Zhao Kuangyin?"
Yin Yao blushed: "The baby hasn't even been born yet!"
"After this battle, we'll properly study how to have children! Hahaha!"
"Husband, how annoying..."
The two stood side by side, watching the last rays of sunset disappear into the horizon.
In the distance, the lights of the Fengtian Army camp lit up, twinkling like stars falling to earth.
