After reading the last word, Mo Qiandai slowly closed his eyes and did not move for a long time.

Deputy General Chang stood aside. Although he had not seen the contents of the letter in person, the news he received was enough to terrify him.

After all, the general had just learned of the death of the young general, which was inevitably caused by the king. Now the king has imprisoned the Mo family because of rumors. This...

"Okay...Okay..."

Mo Qiandai suddenly spoke, his voice low and trembling.

Upon seeing this, Deputy General Chang hurriedly waved to the messenger, fearing that others might hear something they shouldn't.

Seeing that man retreat, Deputy General Chang called out softly, "General?"

Mo Qiandai did not answer. He turned around abruptly, opened the curtain, and stepped in. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

There was a scarlet bloodstain right next to Mo Yonglin's body, which was shocking to see.

When Deputy General Chang saw this, he felt heartbroken and sad. He hurried forward to support Mo Qiandai and shouted, "General!"

Mo Qiandai did not push Deputy General Chang away, but instead tightly grasped Deputy General Chang's arm. His brows were sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully:

"He pushed me to this point, he pushed me to this point!!!"

Although Deputy General Chang is always afraid of Mo Qiandai, his loyalty is unquestionable.

He looked around the tent, his eyes fell on the map set up beside him, staring at the capital city that was specially marked on it, and suddenly summoned up the courage to speak:

"General, why don't you just rebel?"

This sentence has been circling in Deputy General Chang's mind for many years. As soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, all the grievances that had been accumulated for Mo Qiandai over the years burst out.

"General, the king is so incompetent. If you hadn't guarded Jiaocheng and the national border all these years, how could he, a weakling, sit firmly on the throne?"

"He is suspicious and fickle by nature, and he can't tolerate others. This rumor is spreading like wildfire. Why don't we go with the flow and make him lose the support of the people?"

"General, you and Princess Yu Liu have a good reputation in the country. Why don't you return to the capital under the pretext of 'removing the tyrant and seeking justice for the princess'? In this way, your ascension to the throne will be legitimate and popular!"

In his eyes, the general is a man of great talent and strategy, who is good at making decisions. Compared with the Jin family members who indulge in luxury and are ignorant of the suffering of the people, the general is a good king who can lead the Northern Kingdom for thousands of years!

As for the heavy killing that he feared, the Northern Kingdom had long been in disarray. If the general did not shock people with his iron-blooded tactics, how could he control it?

"General, you are rebelling! I swear to follow you till death. I will not seek glory in success, and I will have no regrets in death!"

When Deputy General Chang said this, he leaned over and kowtowed heavily to Mo Qiandai, making a muffled sound.

When Mo Qiandai heard this, he slowly raised his head.

His gaze lingered on Deputy General Chang, and then fell on Mo Yonglin's body beside him.

With just one glance, he felt a sour and bitter taste in his throat, and felt like dying.

The words in my mother's letter, "Take good care of your dear grandson Yonglin," were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart.

Gone... Both sons are gone...

Prince Jin Yu first had murderous intentions towards Yonglin, and then attacked the Mo family out of suspicion. Isn't this just forcing him!

He had said long ago that his family in Beijing was his last bottom line!

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai gritted his teeth in hatred and leaned over to help Deputy General Chang up.

Deputy General Chang raised his head in a hurry, and heard Mo Qiandai's hoarse but cold voice, "Deputy General Chang, this matter needs to be considered carefully."

Hearing this, Deputy General Chang was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he quickly responded, "All is up to the general's orders!"

It seems that the general has finally made up his mind!

At this time, Mo Qiandai walked to Mo Yonglin's body and squatted down. He reached out and touched the curled black arm, and said slowly:

"Deputy General Chang, bring a good coffin. Yonglin... should be buried in peace."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chang hurriedly took the order and left. The tent became quiet again. Mo Qiandai tried to hold back his tears, but they still wet his clothes.

After a while, he spoke in a low voice, full of regret.

"Yonglin, maybe Dad should have listened to you earlier instead of waiting for the so-called opportunity again and again..."

Mo Yonglin's funeral was very low-key. Now that the war is imminent, it is not appropriate to make it public.

Mo Qiandai, along with Deputy General Chang and his personal soldiers, buried Mo Yonglin next to Mo Yongsheng's cenotaph.

It is located on the slope in the eastern suburbs of Jiaocheng. Standing here, you can see the Wuding City of Yong State from afar.

Mo Qiandai had already stopped crying. At this moment, he poured strong liquor in front of the grave and said in a hoarse voice:

"Yonglin, Yongsheng, I'm sorry to have you stay here for now. Just wait and see until Dad conquers Wuding and kills Qiao Zhongguo to comfort your souls in heaven."

Deputy General Chang was standing nearby, and upon hearing this he understood Mo Qiandai's plan.

It seems that the general has figured it out. He should deal with Qiao Zhongguo first before starting a rebellion.

Deputy General Chang guessed correctly, Mo Qiandai had indeed made a decision.

Although he suffered two consecutive blows, he was not an ordinary person after all, and he would never allow himself to indulge in pain.

He knew very well that although the Mo Mansion had been besieged, Prince Jin Yu would not kill anyone in the short term in order to threaten him with his family.

Moreover, he had already written his speculation about Shen Yuanbai in a secret letter and sent it to Beijing a few days ago, and it should have arrived today.

If Prince Jin Yu saw the letter, he would know that he had no intention of rebelling before, so the lives of his family members should not be in danger this time.

However, King Jin Yu pushed him too far time and time again, and he had already made up his mind to rebel. He only needed to resolve the external threat of Qiao Zhongguo and at the same time order his people to rescue all his family members at all costs, and then he could march north without any hesitation!

Now, we might as well make sure of the Yu Liu incident first, so that King Jin Yu will lose the support of the people and build momentum for the rebellion later!

At this point, Mo Qiandai only had one thing that made him hesitate, and that was - Qiao Zhongguo!

Mo Qiandai would not hesitate to praise Qiao Zhongguo in his heart. Whether from the perspective of an enemy or a fellow general, Qiao Zhongguo was the strongest and most difficult person he had ever met.

When the two armies faced off, he could see that Qiao Zhongguo was not good at cunning. He always deployed his troops in a bold and open manner, but he often achieved miraculous results.

But now, after Qiao Zhongguo came to Wuding, he has not made any big moves and always sends his youngest son to carry out deceitful tactics.

Especially the burning of Yonglin this time, it can be said that it was a well-planned plan, and it was almost unlike Qiao Zhongguo's style.

Could it be that, because of his strategy of "using the epidemic to eliminate Yong", the Wuding army was abolished, and Qiao Zhongguo was really left with nothing to do but to resort to the tactics of a counselor?

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai couldn't help but frown.

He didn't want to look down on Qiao Zhongguo in the slightest.

If we think that Qiao Zhongguo is even more powerful, could there be some other deeper meaning behind his actions these days?

Mo Qiandai's mind raced, and he couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Wuding City in the distance, where a cluster of thick smoke continued to rise and spread day and night...

At this moment, for some reason, Mo Qiandai suddenly had an absurd suspicion in his heart:

Wu Ding’s 200,000-strong army...are they really all useless?

There is no cure for epidemics, it has always been like this, but...

Mo Qiandai's thoughts had just reached this point when suddenly a personal soldier came quickly from a distance. Seeing Mo Qiandai from a distance, he shouted:

"General, Qiao Zhongguo has made his move! He has transferred 10,000 troops from Beiding and surrounded Wuding City!"

"Wuding is rioting!"
