The Greatest Show on Earth 163

Han Mingyue watched his brother turn away in silence, and finally said nothing more. Although he had left behind a rotten stall, Mingxi finally survived on his own. As for him… he turned around and looked at the woman in white walking towards him not far away, with a faint bitter smile on his lips.

"Han Mingyue!" Su Zuidie walked to the corridor with lotus steps, looking at Han Mingyue who was leaning against the pillar with a gloomy face and unhappiness written all over her delicate face, "When can we leave this damn place!" Su Zuidie felt that she was going crazy. She had never regretted so much that she agreed to return to Da Chu to seduce Mo Xiuyao. It would have been fine if she didn't seduce Mo Xiuyao. These days, she followed the army, ate simple meals, and wore the most ordinary clothes. The worst thing was that she couldn't stop to rest during the march. She was exhausted every day. After finally arriving in Hongzhou, she thought she could live a more comfortable life, but Ye Li had someone stuff her into this small and simple courtyard and never cared about her again. Apart from the person who delivered meals every day, there was no longer any maid to serve him. Su Zuidi's patience had already reached its limit during this period.

In fact, Su Zuidie didn't know that the reason why there were no maids and servants in this courtyard was not because Ye Li deliberately treated her harshly, but because Han Mingyue herself sent away all the people she sent. So Su Zuidie had to wash herself, tidy up her room, and even wash her clothes every day.

Seeing Su Zuidie's shameless impatience and anger, Han Mingyue felt as if her heart was being touched by a blunt knife. She frowned and thought of Han Mingqing's words just now, and asked calmly with her eyes downcast: "Leave here? Where do you want to go?"

"Of course I'm going back to Xiling!" Without noticing Han Mingyue's expression, Su Zuidie answered as a matter of course: "I want to go back to the palace! I can't stand this kind of hellhole anymore." Han Mingyue looked up at her, her expression calm, "Don't you want to take revenge on Princess Ding?" Su Zuidie was stunned, and frowned hesitantly. Of course she wanted to take revenge on Ye Li, she dreamed of it. But she was not a fool, as long as Mo Xiuyao was still alive, she would not dare to take revenge on Ye Li. She grew up with Mo Xiuyao since she was a child. She could look down on any man in the world, but she would never dare to look down on Mo Xiuyao. Looking at Han Mingyue, Su Zuidie bit the corner of her lip and asked: "You said you would help me, is that true?"

Han Mingyue looked at her without saying anything, but Su Zuidi took his reaction as her consent. Her eyes moved, and she placed her slender hands on Han Mingyue's chest, her voice soft and moving, "Mingyue, can you help me... help me... kill Xiuyao..."

Han Mingyue felt a chill in her heart, and lowered her head to look at the woman leaning against her chest. Her face was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, but the words that came out of her cherry-like mouth made people shudder, "I thought you couldn't forget Xiu Yao?"

Su Zuidie smiled nonchalantly and said, "Of course I can't forget Xiu Yao. Even if he dies, I will never forget him in my life. Mingyue, do you still remember what Xiu Yao looked like when he was in Chujing? At that time, I knew that there would never be a better man in the world than him. Unfortunately... at that time, he was only the second son of the Dingguo Palace, the younger brother of the Dingwang. It would have been more perfect if Mo Xiuwen hadn't been there. Unfortunately... although he is now the Dingwang, he can no longer see the demeanor and appearance that made him famous in Chujing."

Listening to Su Zuidie's words as if she was talking to herself, Han Mingyue's heart suddenly jumped. He stood in the corridor with the beauty in his arms without any reaction, as if he was immersed in some thoughts.

Su Zuidie didn't really want Han Mingyue to express her opinion, but continued with a smile: "Originally, I thought that maybe one day Xiuyao and I could be reunited. But this time I met again, I realized... Xiuyao has been seduced by that jerk Ye Li! You have seen how cruel he was to me... Since I can't get him, that jerk Ye Li can't get him either!" At this point, Su Zuidie's beautiful face had become distorted because of the resentment on her face. She raised her head and looked at Han Mingyue with a look of tenderness and affection, "Mingyue, help me kill Mo Xiuyao.

. Help me kill Mo Xiuyao and I will be yours..."

Han Mingyue's eyes were empty and blank, "Kill Mo Xiuyao..."

Su Zuidie nodded and said softly: "You know, I only like the strongest man in the world. Killing Mo Xiuyao... proves that you are the most powerful man in the world..." Han Mingyue was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to go with me? Watch Mo Xiuyao die with your own eyes." Su Zuidie's eyes flickered, and she smiled and said: "I'll wait for you in Xiling Imperial City.

You, bring Mo Xiuyao's head to see me. Then we can be together forever." Han Mingyue looked at her steadily, until Su Zuidie could no longer hold back the faint smile on her lips, then she slowly pulled her hand away and turned to walk deeper into the courtyard. Su Zuidie was startled, looking at Han Mingyue's back in confusion. She was too used to asking Han Mingyue for whatever she wanted,

In fact, Han Mingyue had never really rejected her. Even when she left him to go to Xiling, even if Han Mingyue was cold to her, as long as she asked, Han Mingyue would definitely do it for her. But this time, she suddenly felt unsure.

"Bright moon..."

Han Mingyue turned around, his handsome face full of fatigue, "Zuidie, have you ever thought about what would happen if I tried to kill Xiuyao?" He was no longer the Han Mingyue who was in charge of Tianyi Pavilion. Even when he was at the peak of his power, he was not sure that he could kill Han Mingyue. Su Zuidi frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "I know this.

This is a very dangerous matter, Mingyue, I will naturally find someone to help you. "Han Mingyue was unmoved, "Do you know what will happen to Da Chu if Mo Xiuyao dies?" Su Zuidie frowned unhappily, "What does Da Chu have to do with us? Mingyue, do you want to help me?"

Han Mingyue shook his head heavily, watching Su Zuidie's face suddenly change, he glared at him fiercely, cursed him and turned away. Looking at the back that left without hesitation, Han Mingyue sighed. If he agreed, let alone whether he could assassinate Mo Xiuyao, it would still be a question whether they could survive tonight. Is this... the woman he loves? Corridor

The white figure is no longer there, Han Mingyue thought with a bitter heart.

In the study of the prefectural governor's mansion, the contracts of almost all the Mohist army generals who remained in the northwest had expired, except for those who were leading troops outside.

Ye Li sat in a comfortable chair, smiling as she listened to the generals' reports on the war situation in the past few days. Although the generals who stayed in the northwest were generally young, and there were almost no famous generals, Nan Hou, who was already dead in the eyes of outsiders, stayed. Nan Hou's experience and knowledge were not comparable to those of ordinary young generals. Although he could not go to the battlefield openly, he taught Ye Li a lot about marching and fighting these days, and also relieved her of a lot of pressure.

"…Except for three of the eleven cities in the northwest that have fallen into the hands of Xiling, two are currently being fought over, and the remaining six cities are completely under the control of our army. Please give us your instructions, Princess."

Ye Li nodded with satisfaction, "All the generals have worked hard." To peacefully control the city originally in the hands of the imperial army, the effort spent is definitely not less than fighting with the Xiling people. In this way, the situation in the northwest is finally in the hands of the Mo family army. Even if Xiling sends more troops to the northwest, they still have enough room to maneuver without worrying about being attacked from all sides and being secretly plotted by Mo Jingqi's people. Everyone stood up and said they dared not. Ye Li smiled and looked at Nan Hou who was sitting on the side drinking tea and asked: "Marquis, what do you think about the future war?"

Nan Hou bowed to Ye Li and said, "The northwest is about to enter a cold winter. If the Xiling people don't want to wait until the beginning of next spring with us, they will intensify their attacks recently. I think we don't need to be polite to them anymore. We must fight back fiercely! The northwest is one of the three major granaries of Da Chu. If there are continuous wars after the beginning of spring, it will affect the people's farming." Nan Hou was humble and called himself a subordinate to Ye Li, a young woman, which already explained Nan Hou's current attitude. On the other hand, Nan Hou was also very satisfied with Ye Li's performance. This Princess Ding was not like ordinary women who were either power-hungry or arrogant, and some of them pretended to know for the sake of face. She knew very well that she was not good at large-scale deployment of troops, so she never hesitated to ask for the opinions of her subordinates. A true commander does not need to be able to charge into battle formations, or even deploy troops. As long as he can make good use of capable people and make the right decisions at critical moments. No wonder Duke Hua praised Princess Ding so much. In the eyes of Marquis Nan, Princess Ding, although a woman, already possesses the demeanor of a king.

Ye Li nodded and said, "Nan Hou is thoughtful. I am also quite worried about this matter. In this case, let's talk about our own ideas." In fact, Ye Li was not only worried about the spring ploughing in the northwest next year. Although the Mohist Army and the court have not yet officially torn their faces apart, everyone knows that no matter what the final result of this battle is, the balance between the Dingguo Palace and the Great Chu Royal Family that has maintained for more than a hundred years will no longer exist. If the Mohist Army is defeated, there will naturally be no Dingguo Palace in this world. If it wins, I am afraid that Mo Jingqi will take advantage of the Mohist Army's fatigue and weakness after the battle to do something terrible. Therefore, Ye Li knew very well that it was not as simple as just driving out the Xiling people from the northwest. She also had to defend the entire northwest for Mo Xiuyao and make sure that the land was in the hands of the Mohist Army. Because this might very well become the last retreat of the Mohist Army. Therefore, more attention should be paid to food.

The Mohist army had been fighting and stopping these days, almost just dragging the footsteps of the Xiling army. There were almost no real fierce battles, so the soldiers were also fighting with some frustration. They had been holding back their energy and wanted to give the Xiling people a head-on blow. When they heard Ye Li's words, they immediately became excited and spoke out their opinions, and the whole study room was immediately noisy.
