Yun Qingluo looked at Mo Beichen with unwavering determination and said resolutely, "No matter what, I will follow you! Who knows what kind of trap that Long Tianque has dug for us?"
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows, seemingly full of confidence in her decision.
In fact, the reason why Yun Qingluo was so determined to follow was not only because of her curiosity, but also because she had Xiao Yi, who was like a cheat code.
She felt confident enough to face any possible situation.
Mo Beichen shook his head helplessly. He knew that once Yun Qingluo made up her mind, it would be difficult for her to change it.
In the end, he had no choice but to nod and agree to take her along.
The two stepped off the carriage one after the other, walking in unison towards the direction where Long Tianque was.
At this moment, Xiao Yi in the system couldn't help but start complaining: "Oh dear, it's just going over to take a look, it's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh. Look at how nervous you are. Besides, you're the only delicate woman in this whole army, so it's understandable that your man doesn't want you to come along."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Yun Qingluo's expression changed, and several black lines appeared on her forehead.
She replied irritably, "Shut your mouth, Xiao Yi. Please, can you stop reading those mindless novels that lower your IQ? What are you thinking?"
"Ah Chen didn't let me come along because he was worried that seeing He Ming's cold and sullen face would upset him, not like what you said!"
After being rebuked by Yun Qingluo, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
He quickly explained, "Oh, I see. Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I spoke without thinking. Alright, I'd better go check if my newly refined pills have been successful. This time, it's a top-quality medicine specially made to regulate the spleen and stomach."
As he spoke, Xiao Yi's figure disappeared from the system.
Yun Qingluo looked surprised and asked incredulously, "Why are you making this kind of medicine?"
Xiao Yi was busy in the pharmacy, muttering an explanation: "You don't understand. Nine out of ten domineering CEOs suffer from stomach problems, and the remaining one is either disabled or seriously injured. I prepared this especially for your man."
Hearing this, Yun Qingluo felt a surge of warmth in her heart and said gratefully, "Xiao Yi, you are truly my lucky star. With you here, nothing unexpected will happen."
Xiao Yi chuckled.
As Yun Qingluo walked, she suddenly felt something was wrong. "Achen, do you have a stomach problem? I didn't know that."
Mo Beichen was slightly taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly asked that question.
But he honestly shook his head, "No."
Yun Qinglu thought for a moment and then understood, "Xiao Yi, have you been greedy again?"
As expected, the system was completely silent.
Yun Qingluo's lips twitched. This guy doesn't even bother to think before he lies anymore.
Mo Beichen noticed Yun Qingluo's helpless expression and inquired about the situation.
Yun Qingluo told Mo Beichen about her conversation with Xiao Yi, which made Mo Beichen smile slightly.
"why are you laughing?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen shook his head and remained silent.
He can't just laugh at it for reaping what it sowed.
Xiao Yi rolled her eyes at Mo Beichen in the system; this guy was definitely not as likable as before.
Upon seeing Long Tianque, Mo Beichen immediately asked, "General Long, what brings you here?"
When Long Tianque saw Yun Qingluo standing next to Mo Beichen, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
“We military officers are discussing matters, so your wife doesn’t need to listen in, does she?” He Ming said quickly after receiving Long Tianque’s gaze.
Just as Yun Qingluo was about to speak, she saw Mo Beichen grab her hand and turn to leave.
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.
This Sumeru King doesn't play by the rules at all!
He Ming quickly took a few steps to stop Mo Beichen, "My general has something to say to the strategist, what is the meaning of this, strategist?"
Mo Beichen stared coldly at the arm blocking his way, as if he were about to draw his sword and cut off the obstructive arm at any moment.
He Ming awkwardly withdrew his arm, his eyes turning cold. "What exactly does the general mean?"
Mo Beichen said calmly, "If you just want to mock my wife, then you don't need to come looking for me."
After saying that, he turned to leave again.
Long Tianque coughed twice and said, "Strategist, please stay. It's nothing serious. If your wife wants to hear it, please stay and listen."
Mo Beichen glanced at Yun Qingluo, who tugged at his sleeve and nodded gently.
She immediately knew that Long Tianque's visit to her was definitely not for anything good, but even if they didn't want to listen, they would probably find another way to tell them, and might even do something unexpected. It was better to just keep listening and see.
Mo Beichen turned around and asked, "What is it?"
Long Tianque glanced at He Ming.
He Ming began, “It’s like this, there are two routes ahead. One route is shorter, but the scouts reported that there are rocks blocking the way, so it might be difficult to travel. The other route is longer, but safer. The general is hesitant and would like to ask the strategist which route we should choose.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo felt a surge of anger rising within her.
These people just never seem to have a moment's peace.
If they choose the shorter route, the army will inevitably suffer minor losses. The rocky obstacles may not be the real problem; there may be more dangerous situations.
If they choose a longer route, the army will have already lost a day's journey. If there is any further delay, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the Xuancang court. Moreover, this decision was made by King Sumeru, and it may cause dissatisfaction and suspicion in the Holy Sky Continent in the future.
It's full of traps.
Yun Qingluo lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
Mo Beichen said directly, "It's alright, just choose a longer route. Before we set off, I had already reviewed with Xuanming the various situations we would encounter along the way. We had discussed and decided on many details. This choice was also the result of Xuanming's discussion with me. General Long can just give the order. Also, if you encounter similar problems, feel free to ask me for advice."
After Mo Beichen finished speaking, he stared intently at Long Tianque, making Long Tianque feel somewhat guilty.
