Suddenly remembering something, Mo Shisheng turned her head to look at Shangguan Xuan and Qi Yufeng.
He asked, "Do the soldiers in the barracks know that I'm personally leading the troops?"
"have no idea."
As they spoke, they all sat down at the wooden table, their gazes falling on Mo Shisheng. Shangguan Xuan replied calmly, "Why is she dressed as a man?"
"If I, a woman, were to train them, they probably wouldn't be convinced. Although it's all about strength, being a man will save us some trouble."
Mo Shisheng had already given serious consideration to the situation in the barracks. Since everyone was going to the battlefield, morale was naturally the most important thing.
Although it is indeed a place where the strong rule, the people here seem to have a male-dominated mentality, so it's probably unrealistic for her to train a girl who is not even sixteen years old.
“People in the barracks wouldn’t do that.”
Shangguan Xuan said softly.
"Because you are a man."
Mo Shisheng glanced at Shangguan Xuan indifferently, "Let's eat breakfast and then set off. Don't waste any more time."
Seeing Mo Shisheng roll her eyes at him, Shangguan Xuan smiled faintly.
After finishing their meal, the group boarded a carriage and headed towards Mount Chu.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Suzaku was reporting the situation in the Demon Realm to Ming Beiya.
"The four mountains that His Highness conquered have allied with our two mountains, while the other two mountains have started to revolt because they massacred more than a hundred of their people. Gui Su and I are preparing to take action and level the two mountains. They are fleeing in all directions, and some have even broken out of the Demon Realm."
"Barrier"
Ming Beiya glanced at Zhuque indifferently, his eyes slightly cold.
“Someone helped them get out, so they didn’t suffer any backlash from the barrier. I suspect it was His Highness’s doing.”
Zhuque frowned slightly. "Gui Su has already gone to deal with the annihilation, but Master, the people of Jiushan have always been united. With something like this happening, it's inevitable that there will be an internal uprising."
"Return to the Demon Realm."
Ming Beiya got up from the soft couch and strode towards the door.
Zhuque followed behind him and asked at the right moment, "What about the palace?"
"I haven't even used up my month-long leave."
Knowing what Suzaku was worried about, Ming Beiya spoke calmly.
"yes."
Having received the answer, Zhuque was relieved and, along with Chihu and Qingluan, marched grandly back towards the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm, the Demon Domain.
Ming Beiya rarely appeared in everyone's sight dressed in white. The white color reduced his sharpness and added a touch of elegance and nobility.
Inside the luxurious palace of the Demon Realm, Ming Beiya sat on a high couch, his gaze sweeping over the lords below.
A gentle breeze rustled his sleeves, causing his long, flowing black hair to be held back lazily by a single jade hairpin. His languid yet noble air was captivating; his phoenix eyes were icy, with a slight upturn at the corners, giving him the air of a banished immortal, or a king who reigned supreme.
The Nine Mountains are divided into nine territories. Because they are adjacent to each other and their terrain resembles nine high mountains, they are collectively called the Nine Mountains.
Now, the lords of the two mountains have fled due to unrest, leaving only the lords of the seven mountains.
An older lord, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere any longer, stood up and spoke first, "Your Highness, your subordinates are utterly loyal to you, so why do you still want to slaughter the people of the other two mountains!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Beiya's cold and beautiful face softened slightly, and his gaze gently fell on the person who spoke. "Whether it's loyalty or a fence-sitter, do you think I can't even tell?"
