The World is Shocked 146. The Imperial Concubine

Xiling Camp

The atmosphere in the big tent was gloomy and the King of Zhennan looked the worst since Xiling sent out troops. Since Mo Xiuyao suddenly appeared and captured Xinyang, the entire army of Dachu seemed to have suddenly come alive. In just ten days, the results of nearly a month of battles were gone. The northern army was defeated by Mo Xiuyao's surprise attack, and the southern army also suffered setbacks. Only the central army led by King Zhennan was relatively stable, but it was very difficult to take back Xinyang City from Mo Xiuyao again. Why did they lose 50,000 dan of food and several million taels of silver to Princess Ding? This would make the Xiling army, which already did not have sufficient food and fodder, even more miserable in the coming winter.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The generals said tremblingly.

King Zhennan snorted coldly and said, "Calm down, calm down! Apart from calming down, you won't say anything else?"

Knowing that the prince was angry, the generals dared not say anything and could only look to Lei Tengfeng who was sitting beside them for help. Lei Tengfeng smiled faintly, stood up and said to the King of Zhennan: "Father, we all know that Mo Xiuyao is not easy to deal with. Father, please don't make things difficult for them. They have tried their best." The King of Zhennan snorted lightly, glanced at everyone coldly and said: "Go back. If you are beaten by the Mo family army again tomorrow, you can take off your armor and become pawns!" Everyone agreed, looked at Lei Tengfeng gratefully, and left the tent in disgrace.

Only the King of Zhennan and his son were left in the big tent, and there were no outsiders. Lei Tengfeng smiled and said, "Father, don't be anxious to deal with Mo Xiuyao. Although we have suffered a little loss in the past few days, we are not at a disadvantage in the current situation." King Zhennan sighed and said seriously, "How could I not know this? But... Tengfeng, don't underestimate Mo Xiuyao. In my opinion, Mo Xiuyao is more dangerous than Mo Liufang!" Lei Tengfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that his father would have such a high evaluation of Mo Xiuyao, who had only met him a few times. You know, Mo Liufang is Mo Xiuyao's father, and his father's biggest and only enemy in this life. Is it true that... the disciple is better than the master?

"If Mo Xiuyao had lived smoothly these years, I might not have paid so much attention to him. But you also know what kind of life he has lived these years and what kind of injuries he suffered. But look at the performance of the Mohist Army in the past few days. Mo Xiuyao is not at all unfamiliar, and is even more experienced than the legend. This shows that even though Mo Xiuyao has been sick and confined to the Dingguo Palace for seven or eight years, he is still able to fully control the power of the entire Mohist Army, and the Mohist Army is still convinced by him. This... Tengfeng, can you do it?" King Zhennan said lightly. Lei Tengfeng frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then raised his head with a solemn expression. His smile was filled with shame and reluctance, but he still shook his head and said, "My son is incompetent and can't do it." No one knew better than him how badly Mo Xiuyao had been injured. He asked himself if he could have controlled the Mo Army as perfectly as Mo Xiuyao under such circumstances. He might even have been beaten to death by such pain and torture or driven crazy by hatred.

King Zhennan nodded and said with some satisfaction: "It's a good thing to be able to see your own shortcomings clearly. Mo Liufang gave birth to a good son and a good daughter-in-law... He is really lucky."

Lei Tengfeng thought of the woman in white clothes who was as white as snow and talked and laughed calmly on the day of the hostage exchange, and he had to admit that Mo Xiuyao was indeed lucky. Marrying a woman like that, many heroes in the world would envy Mo Xiuyao to death.

"What are your plans, father?" Lei Tengfeng asked.

The King of Zhennan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think your father is planning?" Lei Tengfeng smiled and said, "Although your father looked very angry just now, he was not really angry. This shows that your father has already found a solution in his heart." If your father is really angry, let alone his plea, I am afraid that even the emperor will come and it will be useless. The King of Zhennan casually played with the jade ring on his hand, and smiled coldly, "Mo Xiuyao was lucky back then, and the Dingguo Palace was not destined to perish. This time... I want to see if he is still so lucky!"

Lei Tengfeng's heart moved, his expression changed slightly and he said: "Father, what are you going to do..."

Prince Zhennan smiled leisurely and said, "Prince Dingguo's Palace is not just a nuisance to me alone."

"Your Highness is right. Dingguo Palace is indeed a nuisance to many people. There are many people in this world who want it to disappear." A soft voice came from outside the tent. Lei Tengfeng frowned and a look of disgust flashed across his face. King Zhennan saw it and shook his head with amusement.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted from the outside, and a slender figure walked in. Turning the screen of Huxiao Mountain Forest, the woman who appeared in the big tent was dressed in pink palace dress, with dark eyebrows and red lips. Her appearance was exquisite and flawless, and there was nothing wrong with her. Her eyes turned, bringing with them a little starlight that made people intoxicated. Even though Lei Tengfeng seemed to hate her very much, she was still dazed for a moment when she looked at him. Seeing Lei Tengfeng's distraction, the woman's lips curled up slightly with a smile, and she slowly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Hello, Prince."

Prince Zhennan looked at her calmly and asked, "Why are you here? Doesn't the emperor need anyone?"

The woman smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. The Emperor is seriously ill in bed now. It is enough for him to have the Empress. Why does he need my service? Could it be that... Your Highness doesn't want to see me?"

King Zhennan smiled and said, "How could that be? You came just in time because I need your help with something."

The woman laughed even more happily, and when she laughed, the originally solemn tent seemed to become more colorful. "I will do my best to fulfill your orders, my lord." This woman was none other than Xiling's beautiful concubine Bai Long, and also Su Zuidie, the most beautiful woman in the Great Chu at that time.

Lei Tengfeng's absent-mindedness was only a matter of a moment. As soon as King Zhen opened his mouth to speak, he had come back to his senses and just listened to the conversation between the two in silence. His eyes were still full of disgust and disdain when he looked at Su Zuidie, as if he was looking at something dirty again, but there seemed to be something deeper struggling deep in his eyes. King Zhennan had been paying attention to his son's expression since he started talking, and he sighed slightly in his heart when he saw him like this. Tengfeng was indeed the best child among all his descendants and even the Xiling royal family, but it was a pity that he was still a little bit inferior to Mo Xiuyao.

"What instructions does your Highness have?" Su Zuidie asked with a smile.

King Zhennan looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Long'er hurried here, you must have known that Mo Xiuyao is in Xinyang City?" Su Zuidie was slightly startled, something flashed quickly in her eyes, but was quickly hidden by a charming smile, she glanced at King Zhennan lightly and said, "Long'er did know that Mo Xiuyao was in Xinyang, but when she knew it, Long'er was already halfway there. Could it be that I came here because I missed you? It turns out that you still don't want to see Long'er." King Zhennan leisurely admired the coquettish look of the stunning beauty in front of him, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, laughed loudly, "How could I not miss Long'er?"

"My Lord..." The beauty leaned on the King of Zhennan softly and called in a delicate voice.

Lei Tengfeng looked at the scene in front of him with an unpleasant expression, and finally couldn't help but said coldly: "Father, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

King Zhennan let go of Su Zuidie, looked at Lei Tengfeng and shook his head, saying: "You are good in everything, but you are too serious about everything." Lei Tengfeng's usual smile disappeared, and he glanced at Su Zuidie and said: "Son, there is no need to be serious about a slut who can be slept with by anyone. You just feel disgusted by her."

"You! Lei Tengfeng, you are going too far!" Su Zuidie's face turned red and white with anger. She turned to the King of Zhennan with red eyes and said unwillingly: "My Lord, look at what the prince said about me. I...Long'er is really too ashamed to live!"

"Okay, you two, stop quarreling as soon as you meet." The King of Zhennan put away his smile and frowned. Su Zuidi snorted and glanced at Lei Tengfeng, but for some reason she held back. Lei Tengfeng said, "If there's nothing else, my son will leave first."

King Zhennan shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk business. Long'er, what are your plans for Mo Xiuyao's matter?"

Su Zuidie frowned slightly, then raised her head and smiled coquettishly: "Does the prince want Long'er to go back to him?" The King of Zhennan smiled and said: "Go back to him? Do you think he will still accept you now? Who in the world doesn't know that Prince Dingguo has a deep affection for the princess?" Su Zuidie's eyes flashed with resentment, but she raised her head and still had a charming look, and said softly: "Does the prince not believe me? Long'er grew up with Prince Ding. Am I not as good as Ye Li, the daughter of a nobody?" What else did Ye Li have except a good family background? No, she didn't even have a good family background, but she had a good grandfather. It's a pity that Mr. Qingyun has been out of touch with worldly affairs for many years. She is the legitimate fiancée of Prince Ding and the most beautiful woman in the world... Could it be that she is not as beautiful as a woman with no talent or looks?

Lei Tengfeng snorted disdainfully, making his meaning very clear.

Su Zuidie glared at him angrily, and King Zhennan laughed and said, "How could that be? I absolutely believe that Long'er is the most beautiful woman in the world. How dare Mo Xiuyao not fall under Long'er's skirt?"

Su Zuidie smiled at Lei Tengfeng with a hint of pride, "What do you want me to do, Your Majesty?"

King Zhennan smiled but said nothing.

"Father, will Mo Xiuyao fall into the trap?" Lei Tengfeng asked with a frown after Su Zuidie left the tent.

King Zhennan looked at him and asked, "Do you think I will be obsessed with her?" Lei Tengfeng shook his head. He could see clearly that although his father had some relationship with Su Zuidi, he definitely had no real feelings for her. King Zhennan smiled and said, "Since I will not fall for it, how can Mo Xiuyao be?"

"Then father, is it too much to let her seduce Mo Xiu Yao?" If that woman had the ability to seduce Mo Xiu Yao, how could she appear in Xiling?

The King of Zhennan laughed and said, "Who said that I want her to seduce Mo Xiuyao? With a beautiful woman like Princess Dingguo, Bai Long is just a useless vase."

Lei Tengfeng frowned, then quickly raised his head and looked at King Zhennan and said, "Father has other plans."

"She is just asked to help me control Mo Xiuyao's sight. If she can't even do this, she will be of no use." King Zhennan smiled coldly, his voice was cold and ruthless, without any trace of tenderness and affection from before.
