On the day Xiao Jue led his army back to the capital, the roadsides ten miles outside the city gates were lined with people.
"General Xiao, General Xiao is back!"
"Our guardian deity of the Sumeru Continent has returned! The guardian deity of the Sumeru Continent has returned! We have won! We have won!"
"It was the Emperor and Empress who arrived at the battlefield in time, leading the Divine Healer Valley, who launched a surprise attack on the enemy camp and killed the enemy leader, which led to our army's victory."
"The Emperor and Empress are too amazing. With them around, we will definitely not lose."
"When His Majesty was still the Regent, he protected the peace of the country. Now that he is the Emperor of the Sumeru Dynasty, he has led the Sumeru Army to repel enemies from overseas. As long as His Majesty is here, we have good days every day."
"Haha, we won a battle without even realizing it. Well done! It's so good that the Emperor and Empress are back."
Mo Beichen, along with his civil and military officials, welcomed the triumphant army back at the city gate.
Mo Beichen originally asked Yun Qingluo to accompany him, but Mo Junye and Mo Zhiyuan wanted to watch the spectacle, so Yun Qingluo, along with Mo Junye and Mo Zhiyuan, disguised themselves and watched the grand return of the army from a window-side room on the third floor of a restaurant on the side of the street.
Yun Qingluo had strong opinions about this victory.
She felt that since they had won against three continents, they should celebrate in a grand manner.
So she used one-third of the gold in her own space to purchase supplies, planning to hold another banquet on the main streets of the capital to celebrate for three days and three nights.
For these three days, the army can lay down their weapons and enjoy a feast in the city.
In the days leading up to the army's return to Beijing, Han Yixuan and Yun Ziyu were overseeing the matter.
Thick tents were erected along the main streets, with stoves underneath to keep them warm. The streets were adorned with colorful lanterns, which, when viewed from the city walls, resembled colorful rivers reverently converging towards the palace to form a vast ocean.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and a grand banquet was held to entertain the court officials and their families.
Yun Qingluo was initially worried that the ministers might have objections, but to her surprise, both civil and military officials praised the matter highly.
Ever since learning that there are nine other continents besides Sumeru Continent, Sumeru Continent has lived in constant fear, especially when spies from other continents come to Sumeru Continent to investigate.
The continent of Sumeru lived in constant fear of being besieged by other continents, and always lived cautiously.
Now, although all their worries have come true, they have won a battle, wiped away their previous humiliation, made a name for themselves in one fell swoop, and finally had a moment of triumph.
How could they not be excited?
The Empress only proposed to share the joy with the people; even if she wanted to grant a general amnesty, they would wholeheartedly agree.
This is so exciting!
The Emperor also brought them some exciting news.
The first continent, Xuancang Continent, and the second continent, Shengqiong Continent, are already friendly neighbors with Xumi Continent. The Ghost Continent and the Void Continent have been destroyed, and the Underworld Continent is also in the process of peace talks. With two continents as a safety net, Xumi will no longer have to fear any continent.
The Emperor also plans to send a large army to mine gold and iron mines next year, with a portion going to the Xuancang Continent and the Shengqiong Continent, and the rest for the country's use. The Xumi Continent will only become stronger.
How could the court officials not be excited?
"Mother, Mother, I saw Uncle Xiao! Third Uncle, come and see! You've definitely never seen Third Uncle before. Look, that handsome uncle over there in the silver-white battle robe is Uncle Xiao Jue!" Mo Zhiyuan leaned against the window, craning her neck to watch Xiao Jue walk into the city gate, her expression full of excitement.
Yun Zixie, who was standing next to her, kept his eyes on her, afraid that the little girl might accidentally fall out.
"Yes, I saw it. So tell me, is your Uncle Xiao Jue more handsome or your third uncle?" Yun Zixie asked with a grin.
He had already become familiar with Mo Junye and Mo Zhiyuan. The two children especially liked their lively and active third uncle who led them in playing some strange and wonderful games.
In Mo Zhiyuan's words, "My third uncle always brings me toys that I've never seen before, and I love my third uncle very much."
What Mo Junye liked was that Yun Zixie could always explain very complex and profound principles to him in plain language, which he really appreciated.
Yun Zixie also noticed that Mo Junye seemed to have a natural love for learning, so instead of preparing any toys for him, he hand-copied several current political classics for him, making Mo Junye unable to take his eyes off Yun Zixie whenever he saw him.
Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen were quite jealous about this.
"Of course, Third Uncle is the most handsome. Third Uncle is so amazing. Zhiyuan really likes Third Uncle." Mo Zhiyuan said coquettishly, holding Yun Zixie's hand.
As if performing a magic trick, Yun Zixie pulled out a delicate little sleeve from his sleeve.
"There's a hidden compartment in here. You can put poison or antidote in it without anyone noticing. Here you go."
"Wow, Third Uncle, thank you, Third Uncle! You're the best, Third Uncle! Why didn't Mother bring you back sooner?"
Hearing Mo Zhiyuan's complaints, Yun Qingluo laughed in exasperation, "Mo Zhiyuan, have some self-respect, will you? Your father walked by down there and you were completely unmoved?"
Mo Zhiyuan chuckled guiltily and muttered softly, "Oh dear, I can see Father every night, but I haven't seen Third Uncle for a long time. The last time I saw Third Uncle was twelve days ago. Third Uncle, Zhiyuan misses you so much."
Mo Zhiyuan's mouth was as sweet as honey, pouring out basket after basket of sweet words, making Yun Zixie's heart bloom with joy.
"Okay, after lunch, I'll take you and Junye to the horse farm for horseback riding this afternoon," Yun Zixie said happily.
Mo Junye was also very excited, "I'm going to train a horse that understands my heart. Thank you, Third Uncle."
