When Xiang Wenqi rode his horse back, Deputy General Chang and his men also arrived at the fire.

Xiao Qianyue stretched her neck and saw that the Northern Army had taken off their armor halfway. When they reached the fire, they immediately took off their short shirts and kept beating the fire.

From a distance, Xiao Qianyue could hear someone yelling at the top of his lungs: "Water! Go get some water!"

"Erlang, you also said that Mo Qiandai is a smart person. Tonight... is he a little too deliberate?" Xiao Qianyue asked with a frown.

In order to ensure that Mo Yonglin could convey the message, Xiang Wenqiu waited until Mo Yonglin finished speaking before shooting the arrow.

Qiao Diyi shook his head when he heard this. After leaving his elder brother, whom he could rely on, Qiao Diyi's mind became active.

"Yue'er, since we have Mo Yonglin in our hands, this has been an open conspiracy."

“Mo Qiandai may come to his senses after his grief, but so what?”

"After all, we didn't spread rumors, and Mo Yonglin didn't lie. Prince Jin Yu did have murderous intentions towards the Mo family, and he just forbeared because the Mo family is still useful now."

"If what Big Brother guessed is correct, and Prince Jin Yu has surrounded the Mo family in Kyoto, then Mo Qiandai has no choice but to believe this."

At this point, Qiao Diyi's face showed a rare look of regret.

"Yue'er, if the monarch is not wise, no matter if you are loyal to the country or the monarch, you will probably not have a good ending."

"Mo Qiandai is doing this for the country. If he is given the opportunity, he will not hesitate to overthrow the Northern Kingdom and take that position himself."

"Even a loyal emperor would be suspected of everything, let alone Mo Qiandai, who commands a large army and is unruly and difficult to tame?"

At this time, Xiang Wenqi had already ridden his horse to the front, and Qiao Diyi immediately stopped talking.

These heartfelt words can only be told to my wife.

Before the horse came up to him, Xiang Wenqi had already dismounted and knelt directly in front of Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi hurriedly dismounted to help him. Xiang Wenqiu said in a trembling voice, "Master Qiao, thank you for fulfilling my wish. I am very grateful. I finally have an explanation to my brothers."

"Xiang used to live for his country, and now he lives for his brothers. As long as Mo Qiandai and Chang Youdao can pay for their blood debt with blood, I will obey Master Qiao's orders from now on!"

Xiang Wenqiu said this, bowing his head and completely surrendering at this moment.

Nowadays, the royal court in the north lives a life of extravagance, and the people are already living in dire straits. If they are conquered by the Yong Dynasty, who knows whether it will be a disaster or not a blessing?

You can say that Xiang Wenqiu was a traitor or a selfish person, he only knew that when his country was turning against him, it was his brothers who sacrificed their lives to protect him.

If he could find a way to survive for his brothers, even if Xiang Wenqi died afterwards, it would be considered as atonement, and he would have the face to go down and reunite with his brothers!

Qiao Diyi had expected this to happen, so his men used all their strength to help Xiang Wenqiu up, and said with a smile:

"Okay, we are all straightforward people, there is no need to do this. I have gained another brother tonight, which is a good thing!"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze into the distance, and then said seriously: "Tonight's plan has been completed. Since the other side has two to three thousand people, there is no need to entangle. Let's go back!"

"yes!"

Everyone behind him responded in unison.

The group turned their horses around and merged back into the night.

On the other side, the fire was finally put out. Deputy General Chang looked at Mo Yonglin, who was curled up on the ground and had been unrecognizable, and was horrified.

The Yong army in the distance had long disappeared. They came and went lightly, but they caused huge waves.

Deputy General Chang did not dare to delay. He ordered his men to lift Mo Yonglin up with a trembling voice, and hurriedly led a group of personal soldiers to the military camp.

————

Hand over the city lord's account.

Ever since Vice General Chang left, Mo Qiandai has been feeling uneasy.

My mother sent me two letters a few days ago, asking me why I hadn't written home in recent days.

Sheng'er is young and energetic, and a little domineering outside, but he is very filial to his elders at home. He always writes family letters frequently and is what his mother calls a good grandson.

He has not replied to the two letters from home yet. Given my mother and my wife's sensitive hearts, I'm afraid they have guessed something.

Now, whenever he thought about the possibility that Yonglin’s life might be in danger, he felt even more heartbroken. How could he begin to write after hearing two pieces of bad news in a row?

There was no one in the tent. Even someone as ruthless as Mo Qiandai couldn't help but cover his face and cry.

He was in deep sorrow when suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, followed by the voice of Deputy General Chang: "General!"

Deputy General Chang came back in a short time, which made Mo Qiandai's heart jump. He wiped his face quickly and stood up.

At this time, Deputy General Chang had already lifted the curtain and entered the tent. He knelt on the ground with red eyes and cried to Mo Qiandai: "General, I am incompetent. I never...never saved the young general!"

Although he had expected it in his heart, when his guess came true, Mo Qiandai still felt his mind go blank and the world was spinning.

Upon seeing this, Deputy General Chang hurriedly knelt forward and said in a sad voice: "General, please accept my condolences. Your subordinates... Your subordinates have brought back the body of the Major General."

When Mo Qiandai heard this, his whole body trembled violently. Without waiting for Deputy General Chang to finish speaking, he strode out through the curtain.

Deputy General Chang hurriedly caught up with him and said angrily: "General, the body of the Major General is damaged, and -"

However, at this time Mo Qiandai had already squatted down and pulled away the white cloth, and a corpse that was so charred that it was unrecognizable appeared in front of him.

Mo Qiandai's breathing suddenly stagnated. In his grief, a trace of unrealistic hope arose in his heart.

"Deputy General Chang, how...how do you know this is Yonglin?"

Deputy General Chang knelt beside him. Upon hearing this, he turned his head away in grief and spoke with difficulty: "General, I...I personally saw the Major General being..."

Before Deputy General Chang could finish his words, Mo Qiandai seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit. He could no longer control himself and tears rolled down his cheeks.

How could he not know... How could he not know that only someone who was burned to death would curl up like this? He just still had illusions.

Before he left, his eldest son was full of energy and looked lively, but when he came back, he was just a charred corpse.

"Yonglin, Yonglin, it's Dad who is sorry for you..."

Mo Qiandai whispered, his hands almost wanting to touch the charred face, but he stopped trembling.

He could no longer hold back and fell to the ground crying. At this moment, he was no longer the great general, but an old father who had lost two beloved sons.

Deputy General Chang had already dismissed the surrounding soldiers. He had followed Mo Qiandai for more than twenty years. Seeing Mo Qiandai in such pain, his eyes also turned red.

Just as Deputy General Chang was considering when to pass on Mo Yonglin's last words to Mo Qiandai, Mo Qiandai asked in a trembling voice:

"Yonglin...did you leave any message?"

If he died in flames, he would definitely leave behind a few words.

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chang immediately informed him of everything that had happened that night.

When he heard that King Jin Yu had issued a secret order for Shen Yuanbai to get rid of Mo Yonglin, Mo Qiandai suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his brows were twisted:

"What!"
