Although Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen were eager to return to the capital, they could only watch helplessly.
After all, things here aren't so easy to handle.
It would take a very long time to compile and register millions of soldiers.
Moreover, it seems that food supplies are running low.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have burned their supplies. I regret it so much," Yun Xin said, raising an eyebrow.
Yun Qingluo smiled upon hearing this, "Even if you don't burn those grains and fodder, you won't last long."
“These idiots! Who would have thought that the Netherworld Army would send two million soldiers without any provisions? If we had just defended and not attacked, they would have run out of food in less than ten days, and we could have won with fewer casualties. They were really careless,” Murong Zirui interjected.
Several people were in the tent discussing the soldiers' rations.
Mo Beichen glanced at Xiao Jue, who was slumped in the main seat, half asleep, and threw the cup in his hand at him.
Xiao Jue sensed something and quickly opened his eyes. He saw a cup in front of him, and as he turned his head to avoid it, he reached out and caught the cup.
"What are you doing? If you don't like me, just say so. What are you doing?" Xiao Jue looked at Mo Beichen and said with dissatisfaction.
Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow. "The army is short of food supplies, yet General Xiao can still sleep soundly. It seems he already had a plan."
Just as Yun Ju was about to change Xiao Jue's dressing, she heard Mo Beichen's words and immediately slapped Xiao Jue.
"Ouch, my wound! Be gentle, I didn't do anything to you today." Xiao Jue clutched his arm, wincing in pain.
Yun Ju said coldly, "Since you already had a plan, why didn't you say so earlier? Are you happy to just watch us worry here?"
Xiao Jue pouted helplessly, "I've been busy dealing with the enemy's affairs these past few days and haven't had a good rest. Can't you even let me relax a little? You really have no sense of kinship at all."
"I sent a message to Ziyi when I came to the battlefield of Sunset Glow, so they should be arriving soon." Xiao Jue yawned.
"Did the purple-clad guards deliver the grain?" Yun Qingluo asked with a smile.
Xiao Jue nodded, giving him an affirmative look. "Of course, you can absolutely trust me to get things done."
Yunxin poured tea for everyone and said with a smile, "Luckily, we sent a message to the Mo family army in time, telling them to go back and transport supplies first. Otherwise, if they had come directly, we probably would have been eating tree bark."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Yunxin made a round, refilled the tea, returned to her seat, and continued, "But the Mo family army has also gone to transport grain and fodder, so we'll probably have to make room for it to be stored, and that's no small amount."
Yun Qingluo smiled and glanced at Yun Xin, "It's been half a year since we last met. Yun Xin has become more thoughtful in her considerations. Not bad."
Yunxin chuckled, "By following Granny Gong around, I naturally absorbed what she learned."
Yun Qingluo quickly asked, "How is Granny Gong?"
Yunxin answered "all is well," hesitated for a moment, and then explained in detail the situation of Yun Qingluo's parents, brothers, and two children.
She understood that Yun Qingluo was feeling apprehensive about returning home, which was why she dared not ask any more questions about her family.
Yun Qingluo listened silently to Yun Xin's words, her breathing so light it was almost inaudible.
"Why don't we go back first?" Mo Beichen said, turning to Yun Qingluo who was frequently lost in thought.
Yun Qingluo didn't react at first, until someone grabbed her hand and she came to her senses.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Yun Qingluo turned around and looked at Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen asked with a smile, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Yun Qingluo blushed as she recalled the events of last night. She glared at him and quickly walked out.
Mo Beichen turned to look at everyone, "Luo Luo and I will return to the capital first. You will return to the capital with the army. I will lead all the civil and military officials to welcome your triumphant return at the city gate."
Realizing the seriousness in Mo Beichen's words, everyone quickly stood up and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
During this period, Mo Beichen forbade them from being overly polite, and it was at this moment that they realized that this man's imperial majesty had not been diminished in the slightest.
Mo Beichen nodded and went out to chase after Yun Qingluo.
Yunxin looked at Yunju, "Then what about us?"
Yunju tugged at her sleeve, "Don't be so tactless. The Emperor clearly wants to spend some time alone with the Empress. Once they return to the capital, the Crown Prince and the Princess will be keeping them occupied. The only time they can enjoy some time alone together is on the way back to the capital."
Yunxin is absolutely wrong.
“The Emperor and Empress have been gone for so long, they must really want to see His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess, otherwise they wouldn’t be in such a hurry to return to the capital,” Yun Xin retorted to Yun Ju.
A little head popped out, "Haven't you all heard that when a child comes home, the first three days are sweet, but after that, you can't stand them no matter what?"
Everyone looked over, and Yunju and Yunxin laughed, "Xiao Yi! You're out of seclusion!"
Everyone knew that Yun Qingluo had brought back a younger brother, who was said to have saved her life.
But ever since he returned to the camp, he has been hiding in his tent and refusing to come out, claiming it was for seclusion and cultivation.
The crowd was puzzled, but Yun Qingluo said to let him be, so they could only go along with him.
Some busybodies, like Xiao Jue, went to see it, but were mercilessly driven out by the guards left by Mo Beichen at the door, and he eventually gave up on the idea.
Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Xiao Yi's reason for not meeting everyone is simple: he is still not used to it and needs to mentally prepare himself.
Yun Qingluo originally wanted to make a few jokes, but seeing that Xiao Yi seemed really nervous, and that his expression and the sweat on his palms didn't seem fake, she didn't dare to say anything more and just went along with Xiao Yi.
"Alright, go ahead and cultivate in seclusion if you want. Just don't get bored. We'll let you know when we return to the capital," Yun Qingluo agreed to Xiao Yi.
