Chapter 111: Each Going on Their Own Journey
Hearing this, Gu Feicheng quickly put away his smile and looked at him seriously: "I won't smile anymore. It's better for us to go together."
"No, I've made up my mind. I'm not happy with you following me." Mu Xingci's tone was unbearable: "You guys go first! Don't get in my way."
"I understand. Then I won't disturb your love. I'll leave now." Gu Feicheng glanced at the woman dressed as a man with a knowing look, then turned around and got on the carriage.
Mu Xingci watched them leave, then looked at the woman beside him: "Let's get in the car too."
Yun Wansheng responded lightly and got on the carriage one after another.
With Mu Xingci's order, their group of more than ten people did not walk fast and soon distanced themselves from the group in front.
"Is Sucheng far away?" Yun Wansheng asked casually as she sat next to the man.
"It's not far, we'll be there in an hour." Mu Xingci kneaded her little hand and said softly.
"My lord, since your Mu family has the title of the Mu Family Army, I think the men in your Mu family are all very outstanding. Why don't you let your brother Mu Xinghan come here to support you, but instead let you come all the way from the southwest?" Yun Wansheng asked the question in his heart.
"You don't know this. There are many young men from the Mu family who followed me. They are all brave and good at fighting. Unfortunately, they can only follow me as ordinary soldiers. Do you know why?" A sharp look flashed in Mu Xingci's eyes.
Yun Wansheng thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "I think the person above is probably afraid that your Mu family will rebel, so he doesn't dare to give all the real power to the men of your Mu family?"
"Smart! Therefore, my brother, as a bastard of the Mu family, can only stay in the capital and seek an idle position. This time, I came here in his name, just to use the name of the Mu family army to intimidate the enemy country."
Mu Xingci did not hide anything from her. Subconsciously, he believed in this woman because the aura she exuded was full of righteousness. Moreover, she helped him create the most lethal bed crossbow, which made him trust her very much.
"It seems that your Mu family is not as glorious as it seems! No matter how great your achievements are or how high your status is, you are still restricted by others." Yun Wansheng said.
“This is the power and strategy of the superior. He can’t let the power of a family go far beyond his control.
This time it is because I am determined to attack the Eastern Qiang Kingdom. In order to destroy the Eastern Qiang villains as soon as possible and not give the Dazhao Kingdom time to react, I must take down the Eastern Qiang Kingdom within a year.
But if we want to win this war, we must have sufficient manpower, so I submitted a petition to the court to borrow 200,000 troops from the northeast.
In this way, I have sufficient soldiers and good generals, which makes my attack on the Eastern Qiang Kingdom much smoother.
Unexpectedly, the Eastern Qiang Kingdom was not as easy to defeat as I had imagined. Although we had penetrated into their heartland in just over a year and were about to reach the imperial city, it still took a year longer than I had expected.
At this time, the Dazhao Kingdom finally sensed the danger and quickly launched an attack on the Shunshang Kingdom.
After hearing this, the person above blamed me for putting the country in danger of extinction and ordered me to do everything I could to drive the Dazhao Kingdom out, otherwise I would bear the consequences.
"I can't help it. I have to bear the consequences of this misfortune, so I brought my troops here to support you. Fortunately, everything happened in time." Mu Xingci said slowly with disdain.
After hearing what he said, Yun Wansheng said jokingly, "You too, why are you risking your life for that little salary? The country doesn't belong to your Mu family."
Mu Xingci was originally feeling a little sad because he was not understood, but he couldn't help laughing at her mocking tone. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and then rested his forehead against the woman's.
"Wan Sheng, I'm much happier with you. I don't know if I'll regret it in the future without you."
"No, people are very forgetful. When we each have our own lives, the memories of the past will gradually fade away." Yun Wansheng said with his eyes lowered.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman closely and saw that she was not looking at him, as if it was embarrassing for him to hug her like this.
"Will you forget me?"
"Yes! I had almost forgotten about you, but you broke into my life again." Yun Wansheng pushed him away and did not touch her forehead with the man, but leaned in his arms.
"Did you really forget it?"
"Of course! I think my reaction when we met again said it all. You can judge for yourself whether it's true or not."
Mu Xingci looked at the woman's serious expression and raised his hand to pinch her face: "Heartless woman."
Thinking back, she was indeed very cold when he first met her. If he hadn't been so shameless and kept threatening her, they might not even be acquaintances now.
The carriage continued to move forward, and Yun Wansheng felt sleepy. After chatting for a few words, she fell asleep in the man's arms.
Mu Xingci looked at the unsuspecting woman sleeping in his arms and smiled bitterly. He didn't know whether he would forget her in the future. He only knew that since she left him, he had never forgotten this ruthless woman for a single day.
At noon, when they arrived in Sucheng, Gu Feicheng's servants came forward to greet them and told them that his master had arranged a luxurious inn for them instead of a government office or an inn.
Mu Xingci was very satisfied with this arrangement. Staying in an inn was much more comfortable than staying in a government office or an inn.
When they arrived at the inn and just went up to the second floor, they saw Gu Feicheng walking over: "Hey! You're finally here, I've been waiting for a long time."
Mu Xingci looked at him with a meaningful smile and gave him a warning look, indicating that he should stop joking.
Gu Feicheng noticed his sharp eyes and smiled wisely, "Your guest room is in room three. I have already arranged it. You can go in and rest first. I will ask someone to get you some water to wash your faces." After saying that, he was about to go downstairs.
"Gu Feicheng, are you too enthusiastic? I have personal guards to serve me, so why should you worry about my daily life? If you have nothing to do, just go and scratch the wall." Mu Xingci grabbed the back of his collar with one hand to stop him from doing anything unnecessary.
"Let go, let go. I just brought this cloak from the capital. It's very valuable."
Gu Feicheng pushed him away with a worried look on his face, fearing that this brother would be too careful and tear his new clothes.
"If you tear it, I'll give you one." Mu Xingci said it coldly, but he used his hands to tidy up his cloak that he had torn.
Yun Wansheng was very envious watching their interaction. This was the meaning of good brothers. They could quarrel, scold each other, and also care for each other.
"Who wants you to accompany me? Even if I'm poor, I still have money for clothes. You guys go back to the room! I'll go downstairs and order some delicious food for you." Gu Feicheng punched Mu Xingci's shoulder in annoyance and went to the first floor.
Mu Xingci watched him come down with a smile in his eyes, then took Yun Wansheng's hand and said, "Don't worry about him, let's go to the guest room."
"Um!"
