Chapter 48 After the War
Lord Mo and his companions resolved the crisis in Beijiang City. Outside the city, the armies were fighting each other, and corpses were everywhere.
Soon, the news of Kmerdal's death spread throughout the battlefield.
Lord Mo also ordered his men to cut off Kemmerdar's head and hang it high on the city wall of Beijiang City for public display.
Upon learning that Kemmerdar was killed by Lord Mo, the morale of the Northern Frontier City was high. In contrast, the morale of the barbarian army was shaken and they had no intention of fighting anymore. There were even signs that some of the army was retreating and escaping.
As one side gained strength while the other lost, the 200,000-strong barbarian army was defeated by the army of Beijiang City.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Barbarian General immediately ordered the army to withdraw to the grassland.
Their king is dead, what's the point of fighting?
Moreover, even Lord Mo, a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster, appeared on the battlefield. If he didn't run away, he would die.
A Grand Master can defeat thousands of troops alone, and a Grand Master can defeat a hundred thousand troops alone!
Now that Kemmerdar is dead, once Lord Mo starts a killing spree, no one will be able to stop him, and whoever he targets will die.
Even if the barbarian general faced the strongest foreign king in Dayan, he would have no choice but to die.
The 200,000-strong barbarian army retreated, and Beijiang City won a great victory.
Countless soldiers stood on the city walls and on the sea of blood and mountains of corpses in front of the city gate, waving their arms and cheering excitedly, with overwhelming momentum.
Lord Mo had no intention of pursuing the enemy any further, so he led his generals back into the city. The rest of the men were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and counting the military merits.
After the incident was settled, everyone in Beijiang City came out from the secret passage again.
Lord Mo ordered people to give appropriate compensation to those things that were damaged in the battle, and also asked people to help repair the destroyed houses.
Of course, the most serious damage was to Lord Mo's own Wuwang Mansion. It would take at least ten days or half a month to rebuild the destroyed area, and the amount of silver required was not a small amount.
Fortunately, the snowstorm in Beijiang City has not completely passed.
There are still many homeless refugees in Beijiang City at this moment, and the reconstruction of Beijiang City is a good opportunity for them to participate.
The Prince Wu's Palace could provide them with jobs, so that many people would not starve to death on the streets in this cold winter.
Lai Yang returned to his house near Prince Wu's Palace. However, before he entered the door, he found that the wall of his house close to Prince Wu's Palace had collapsed.
I opened the door and entered the front yard. Looking up, I saw gravel and wood chips everywhere. It was a headache at first glance and very troublesome to clean up.
Also, his house was missing a corner.
If he looked down from above, he would find that not only was a corner missing, but there was a big hole, as if something had smashed into it.
However, when Lai Yang entered the house to check the situation, he immediately saw the conspicuous hole that was one meter wide.
The cold wind was howling, and white snowflakes were falling into the cave from outside. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch twice.
He hadn't lived in this house for long before it was destroyed like this.
Fortunately, this house was given to him by Mo Ruyan, otherwise he would have really wanted to kill someone.
Lai Yang looked at the big hole in the roof and thought that it would be fine if he found someone to fix it.
Fortunately, there was no major damage to the house next door, only a big hole in the main house, which we can still live in after cleaning it up.
Otherwise, in the cold weather in Beijiang City, with such a big hole in the house, the wind and snow would blow in and freeze people to death.
"Lai Yang, are you home?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and Mo Ruyan walked in with someone.
When she saw the mess in the yard and the big hole on the main house, she immediately ordered people to clean up the yard and repair the big hole in the roof.
In less than half a day, the stones and wood chips in Lai Yang's yard were cleaned up by everyone, and the holes in the main house were also repaired by everyone.
Apart from the fact that the area with the hole was obviously newer than the material next to it, there was almost no difference, and the snow no longer fell into the house.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Mo Ruyan asked as if seeking credit.
"Yeah, it's good." Lai Yang nodded.
Seeing this, Mo Ruyan turned to look at everyone, waved her hand and said, "You can go now, go and do your business."
Everyone nodded and quickly left Lai Yang's yard, heading to other places in Beijiang City that needed help in reconstruction and repair.
After everyone left, Mo Ruyan hugged Lai Yang tightly from behind, greedily inhaling his breath, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air.
Lai Yang's heart was a little disturbed, and he asked knowingly: "What are you doing? Your father has not grounded you anymore. Aren't you afraid that he will be angry if you run out without permission?"
"Before, it was to deal with Kemmerdal. Now that Kemmerdal is dead, I naturally don't need to stay in Prince Wu's Mansion anymore." Mo Ruyan said softly.
"My father told me that Kmerdal was killed by a mysterious master."
"Isn't that a good thing? Now that Kmerdal is dead, your father won't have to worry about anything and can go south without any worries."
"What were you doing when you left the secret passage? Did you kill Kemmerdar?"
Lai Yang chuckled and slowly said, "You overestimate me. I wish I was that powerful enough to kill a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster."
Mo Ruyan didn't say anything. She obviously didn't believe what Lai Yang said.
Even though Lai Yang denied it himself, she felt that he must be the one who killed Kemmerdal.
Apart from Lord Tongwu, Mo Shenjun, the only person in the entire Beijiang City who has such ability is probably the person in front of her.
You know, Lord Mo and Xu Bo, two fifth-grade martial arts masters, once told her that they couldn't see through Lai Yang's true strength.
No one knew how strong he really was, or how much he had hidden.
Now, even if Lord Mo saw Lai Yang, he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger in his heart.
It was not because he saw Lai Yang's strength, but because of an instinctive intuition about facing danger formed from years of fighting on the battlefield.
The feeling was as if he had once faced Yan Chengtian, who was blessed with the power of national destiny, in the Great Yan Palace, and was unfathomable.
"Anyway, now that Kmerdar is dead, you don't have to marry into the grasslands anymore. Congratulations."
"Humph, if you don't want to admit it, forget it. Dad will hold a banquet at the Wuwang Mansion the day after tomorrow and invite many masters to the banquet. He specifically asked me to come and invite you to the banquet the day after tomorrow."
"I don't seem to have done anything? Do I have to go to the banquet too?"
"Of course, given our relationship, you will definitely be invited to my father's banquet."
Lai Yang thought about it and agreed.
Given his relationship with Mo Ruyan and the Prince Wu's Mansion, Lord Mo would naturally not leave him out when hosting a banquet.
Even if they suspected that Kmerdal was killed by him, he just had to deny it and there would be no problem at all.
Besides, it should just be a simple celebration banquet.
They repelled the barbarian army and eliminated Kemmerdar, the main threat to the Northern Frontier City.
Both things are worth celebrating.
"Okay, I get it, it's time to let go. You keep holding me like this, I want to practice my skills." Lai Yang said calmly.
Mo Ruyan pouted in dissatisfaction, then let go of her hand and said with some disappointment, "I've taken the initiative, but you don't feel the slightest bit of attraction towards me?"
Lai Yang turned around with a calm expression, placed his broad palm on Mo Ruyan's head, and gently rubbed her hair.
"Give each other a little more time. If love lasts forever, why would it matter if we were together day and night?"
"We have only been together for a short time. Besides, your father is preparing for something bad. Do you really think you can live peacefully with me forever?"
Thanks to Xingchenzhiyang for voting for 1 monthly ticket.
