Seeing himself covered in tears and snot, Mu Yanxuan sighed and bent down to cover the sleeping Ji Yueyao with a blanket.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he raised his hand and gently stroked Ji Yueyao's cheek, wiping away the tear stains that were still wet at the corners of her eyes.
Ji Yueyao... I hope this is the last time you cry.
He got up and went out, carefully closing the door behind him. He wanted her to rest first; he also had a lot of documents to deal with... He needed to finish them quickly before he could spend time with her.
"My lord." Snow Fox had been standing outside the door for a long time. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Yanxuan finally come out. He was about to speak when he noticed a large wet stain on Mu Yanxuan's chest. His face twisted for a moment, and then he quickly turned around and grabbed a new shirt. "My lord, please change your clothes."
Mu Yanxuan glanced at the patch on his chest, hesitated for a moment, then took off his clothes and put on the shirt that Xuehu had brought.
Snow Fox took the shirt and was about to take it away when Mu Yanxuan stopped her, "Don't take it away, fold it up and put it away for me."
"..." Snow Fox looked at the clothes in his hand, then at the wise and mighty adult in his heart, and a shadow fell over his heart... The adult has this kind of hobby?!
Mu Yanxuan didn't care what Xuehu thought. He calmly sat down and began to review the documents. That was the only piece of clothing he owned that bore Ji Yueyao's tears, and he had to keep it as a memento.
Snow Fox quickly and carefully folded the clothes and put them away. Then she strode over to Mu Yanxuan's side and hurriedly said, "My lord, Lord Ling has sent encrypted intelligence."
"Give it to me." Mu Yanxuan took the document handed to him by Xuehu. He looked at the words on the paper without changing his expression, but the atmosphere around him became subtly dangerous.
Yu Zhenlong actually colluded with people from country B to try to break through country C's western defense line? Does this idiot really want to get rid of him? Once the defense line is breached... Although he might have a headache for a while, how could country B tolerate such a hindrance as the Western Yu Base?
On one hand, he's trying to please Qin Lichang, and on the other hand, he's secretly colluding with people from country B. What is Yu Zhenlong thinking...? Has he really gone too far with his impulsiveness?
"An eyesore." Mu Yanxuan raised his eyes and said coldly, "Snow Fox, order Ling Yang to strengthen the defense of the western border, and at the same time contact Xiao Linyuan. The troublemakers in B country are getting in my way."
"Yes." Snow Fox firmly remembered Mu Yanxuan's order. He lowered his head but did not leave immediately. "My lord, there is one more thing."
"What is it?" Mu Yanxuan picked up a new document from the table, looking down as he asked.
"It seems that Qin Lichang's men have also arrived at the Xiyu base," Snow Fox said directly.
"His people came to the Xiyu base..." Mu Yanxuan said calmly, "Now Yu Zhenlong is officially Qin Lichang's man, so it's not surprising that he came to the Xiyu base."
Seeing that Mu Yanxuan didn't seem to care much, Xuehu didn't say anything more and could only sigh inwardly before retreating.
If the adult hadn't so brazenly moved into the Xiyu base, how could Qin Lichang's men have arrived so quickly? It's obvious this is aimed at the adult, and the adult's composure is truly admirable.
"Besides... we probably won't be staying at the Xiyu base for very long," Mu Yanxuan murmured, his voice so soft that even the superhuman Snow Fox couldn't hear him.
Only he knew that his murmured words carried a light and cheerful tone. Wasn't Ji Yueyao's purpose in coming to the Xiyu base to take Wei Kang away? Now that Wei Kang was definitely not going with her, Ji Yueyao would naturally leave the Xiyu base as well... Perhaps, if possible, he could also find a way to take Ji Yueyao to visit the military region.
With her own plans in mind, Mu Yanxuan happily opened the documents in front of her and leaned back on the sofa to read them comfortably.
Meanwhile, Yu Zhenlong was also secretly receiving Qin Lichang's people.
"The lord has made it very clear: stop Mu Yanxuan and don't let him step out of the Xiyu base." The person who came sat on the sofa and looked at Yu Zhenlong, who was sitting opposite him drinking light tea. His voice was absolute and undeniable.
“That might be a bit difficult…” Yu Zhenlong put down his water glass and said with some difficulty, “After all, Mu Yanxuan is the commander of the military region. Even if he comes to my Xiyu base alone, I can’t guarantee that I can stop him one hundred percent.”
"Lord Qin has already sent elite troops to support you." The man said in a suppressed voice. Qin Lichang was indeed very angry this time. He had waited for so many years for an opportunity to get rid of Mu Yanxuan. He finally waited for Mu Yanxuan to enter the Forbidden Forest. Qin Lichang even used his hidden cards, but Mu Yanxuan still escaped. How could he not be angry?
This time, Qin Lichang was going all in, sending 90% of his elite troops, determined to deliver a fatal blow to Mu Yanxuan.
In fact, Qin Lichang's anger was not only due to Mu Yanxuan's escape, but also because Mu Yanxuan's provocative behavior of not hiding his whereabouts made Qin Lichang lose his mind.
Now all the major forces are well aware that the Xiyu base has essentially submitted to Qin Lichang's Northern Military Region, and how can it not be infuriating that Mu Yanxuan is still living there so openly? So it seems that Qin Lichang has really gone all out this time.
Qin Lichang thought it was very easy, but for Yu Zhenlong, this was really not good news. Qin Lichang sent a large number of elite troops to his territory, and he didn't even have the right to refuse!
"I will remain at the Xiyu base to assist you during this time." The newcomer raised his head, looked at Yu Zhenlong who was lost in thought and said calmly, "My name is Yan Yu, please just call me Yan Yu. I will be taking my leave for now."
"Alright." Support? More like surveillance. Yu Zhenlong concealed all his emotions the instant he lowered his head to drink water, then looked up and nodded as if in agreement. "Yan Yu…that name sounds familiar. May I ask who my father is?"
“My father is Yan Zhiyang,” Yan Yu said calmly.
Yu Zhenlong then slapped his thigh in realization and said, "You mean Yan Zhiyang, who is known as Lord Qin's right-hand man? If you are his son... I remember you should be a water-type ability user."
"Hmm." Yan Yu nodded, a dark shadow in his eyes. It seemed that Yu Zhenlong also had a formidable information network. "So Lord Qin sent me here because he values you. I hope you will not disappoint him."
“I know, you can completely put Lord Qin’s mind at ease.” Yu Zhenlong nodded, lowered his eyes and chuckled, “You look to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, right? Young talents are indeed emerging, Lord Qin’s subordinates are truly full of talent.”
"You flatter me." The gloom in Yan Yu's eyes lessened slightly, and he looked like an ordinary teenager. "It's all thanks to my parents' good upbringing."
"But you also put in your own effort." Yu Zhenlong's expression remained unchanged as he waved to the guards at the door to pay attention. "You've come all this way, you must be tired. Zhenke, take Yan Yu to a place to rest." (To be continued.)
