Chapter 529 The Arrogant He Ming



Meanwhile, Yun Qingluo and her group were also on their march.

To make Yun Qingluo more comfortable on the road, Mo Beichen specially found a spacious carriage.

Yun Ying and Feng Tianxing sat on the carriage shaft, while Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen sat inside the carriage.

"That guy outside, surnamed He, seems to dislike you guys. You're still so ostentatious; be careful you don't get ambushed." Xiao Yi said idly, cracking sunflower seeds.

Yun Qingluo lay nonchalantly in the carriage, saying indifferently, "Even if you can't stand it, you have to watch. It's really putting him in a difficult position."

"As for plotting against me, he doesn't have the ability. Besides, he just doesn't like me, he doesn't want to kill me, so it's not a big problem," Yun Qingluo added.

Before setting off, fearing that Mo Beichen would be bored, she took out several military books from the system and showed them to him.

He watched with great interest, and would occasionally discuss it with her.

But Yun Qingluo really wasn't interested in military campaigns; she might be more interested in discussing medicine.

Mo Beichen later realized this as well, so he started studying military books on his own and stopped calling her.

She was finding it a little difficult to adjust.

To speed things up, the Xuan Army rarely rested along the way.

The Xuan army marched on horseback, and every ten days they would go to a different place to change their warhorses.

This extravagant gesture shocked Yun Qingluo.

How could one not be shocked by an army of millions, with enough warhorses to be ready to be replaced along the way?

Yun Qingluo also came to terms with reality: the Xuancang Continent's ability to far surpass other continents was indeed due to its formidable strength.

If it were the Sumeru Continent, they probably wouldn't even have enough horses, let alone spare warhorses.

On this day, the army rested in an open area and set up camp for two days, mainly to change warhorses and replenish supplies.

In order to get some fresh air, Yun Qingluo specifically instructed Yun Ying and Feng Tianxing to park the carriage further away.

The two stepped out of the carriage. Yun Qingluo looked at the dense army and warhorses in the distance and sighed, "If only we had that kind of strength."

Mo Beichen added from the side, "It will happen."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo smiled broadly and said, "You're right, it will happen."

"Yunying, let's have fish soup tonight. Send someone to see if there's a small town nearby to buy some tofu and fresh vegetables, and also have someone catch a couple of fish." Yun Qingluo was excited at the thought of cooking for herself that night.

For the past ten days, she had been eating dry rations to keep up with the journey, and it wasn't convenient to cook during rest breaks. Now that she finally had plenty of time, she was determined to treat herself well.

Not far from them were Long Tianque, the commander of the Xuan Army, and his deputies He Ming and Wei Chi.

Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words, He Ming snorted coldly and muttered, "I don't know what kind of bewitching potion His Highness has been given, that he actually got a lowly continent to help us. It's ridiculous."

Wei Chi's expression also looked somewhat unpleasant.

Long Tianque seemed not to hear, focusing intently on grilling the fish in his hands.

Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen had excellent hearing; upon hearing this, they simply exchanged a smile.

They'd heard this kind of talk far too many times along the way; they were used to it.

I just hope that when we get to the battlefield, we won't hold each other back.

Xiao Yi said in the system, "It's estimated that there will be heavy rain tomorrow. You're going to suffer if you camp here. You'd better find a place with higher ground."

Yun Qingluo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

She looked up at the sky, somewhat doubtful. "This weather doesn't look like it's going to rain at all, Xiao Yi, are you sure?"

Xiao Yi hummed in agreement. "Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe in China's high technology? It's like a torrential downpour, you know. The weather's still quite cool these days. If people get caught in the rain, a lot of them will definitely get sick. Do you want to tell them?"

Yun Qingluo hesitated.

Seeing that Yun Qingluo's expression was off, Mo Beichen asked in a low voice.

Yun Qingluo relayed Xiao Yi's words to Mo Beichen verbatim.

Mo Beichen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Along the way, Xuan Jun's contempt for them was evident to both him and Yun Qingluo.

Long Tianque wasn't as friendly to them as Xuan Ming had described. Thinking it best to avoid trouble, neither of them took the initiative to strike up a conversation with them.

They even planned that once they reached the battlefield and met with the Holy Sky Dynasty, they would hand over the items to the Holy Sky Dynasty and then leave.

Mo Beichen snapped out of his thoughts, looked at Yun Qingluo, and asked softly, "What are your thoughts, Luoluo?"

Yun Qingluo looked at the densely packed army, many of whom were teenagers.

Looking at those innocent faces, Yun Qingluo thought of the lovely people in China, and she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

After hesitating for a moment, she said to Mo Beichen, "Let me give them a heads-up. Whether they listen or not is up to them."

She can also have less of a burden.

Xiao Yi brought up the matter herself, and she knew it was partly due to her past experiences as a military doctor, risking her life alongside the soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen smiled, a slight upturn to his lips.

Yun Qingluo asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at?"

Mo Beichen's smile faded. "After enduring so many harsh words, I'm proud that you still have such a kind heart."

"You warm yourself by the fire first, I'll go talk to them." Mo Beichen led Yun Qingluo to the fire and let her sit down to warm herself.

Yun Qinglu glared at him, nodded, and threw a few pieces of firewood into the fire.

The bonfire was prepared in advance by the Dragon Guard.

While warming herself by the fire, Yun Qingluo kept an eye on Long Tianque's movements out of the corner of her eye.

After hearing Mo Beichen's words, He Ming laughed sarcastically, "The Sumeru King actually has the ability to observe the weather at night. It seems we were blind. However, it's just a coincidence that my ancestor was a national master of astronomy, and I just happened to inherit this ability. No matter how I look at it, I can't see that it will rain tomorrow. The Sumeru King's actions make people think a lot."

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen ignored He Ming and looked at Long Tianque, saying calmly, "The message has been delivered. General Long, you can make the final decision yourself. I won't bother you any further."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, a long sword was held horizontally in front of his chest. Upon seeing this, Mo Beichen's expression turned cold.

Do these people really think he has a good temper?

The one who made the move was none other than He Ming, who had been speaking sarcastically earlier.

He Ming stood in front of Mo Beichen, blocking his way, and said coldly, "You're just a king from a lowly continent. You think you're something just because I address you? Didn't you hear me talking to you? What are you pretending for?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen glanced at him casually, his tone tinged with surprise, "Did General He speak just now? I only heard the dogs barking, not General He speaking."

When Yun Qingluo saw He Ming draw his sword, she was initially a little nervous, but upon hearing Mo Beichen's words, she burst out laughing.

That's really cunning.

Feeling humiliated, He Ming's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Mo Beichen, are you looking for death?"

Mo Beichen's eyes were icy cold, and his voice carried a chilling edge. "In my opinion, you are the one who is courting death. Even your emperor has to show me respect. You are pointing your sword at me. What, is the successor of the Imperial Preceptor of the Heavenly Realm more noble than the King of Xuancang?"

He Ming's expression changed, and the sword in his hand veered off course.

The next second, he fell to his knees with a thud.

The people around were shocked by this sudden change and stood up.
