Chapter 230: I won't bring this up again
ly confidential matters. Now that so many of them have left, they can only rely on the Northern Border Army to fill their roles.Yun San led people away, Mo Jun Yi's eyes held some worry, he looked at...“......”
Mo Junyi's face flushed red immediately, and he whispered shyly, "Mother, I'm still here."
"It's nothing, mother is just teaching you how to get along with your wife in the future."
"!"
Mom, can we have some dignity
I'm still a child!!
Mo Junyi still thought that Mo Yunjing would at least consider that he was still a child, but who knew that Mo Yunjing suddenly said, "Mo Junyi, close your eyes."
Mo Junyi : "..."
He wanted to resist, but subconsciously closed his eyes!
For the next few minutes, he had no idea what was happening or if those two had calmed down at all!!
A quarter of an hour later, An Xuetang smiled and patted his face, "Zi Ling, can you not frown You look like we've done something wrong. Go to sleep."
Mò Jūn Yì thought to himself silently, "What are you all doing!!""
Faced with the enigmatic look in Mokyun's eyes, he simply closed his mouth and remained silent.
Three people were lying down, but none of them felt sleepy. Mo Junyi was preoccupied with something on his mind, and Mo Yunjing knew he was hiding something, waiting for him to speak up.
Finally, Mo Junyi finally said in a soft voice, "Mother, Fifth Uncle, I want to return to the capital."
One word instantly rippled the water. An Xuetang stared at him in shock, "Zi Ling, what did you say Do you want to return to Beijing"
"Well, Mother, you heard right. I want to return to the capital."
Mò Yún Jǐng pursed her lips and said in a flat tone, "Reason."
As for Mo Junyi's desire to return to the capital, he wasn't curious at all. In fact, he had been waiting for Mo Junyi to bring it up himself. He understood this child; his little thoughts were transparent to him.
"It's been ages since I last saw my father. Now he's back at the manor. As long as I go back, I'll be able to see him."
"Do you think you can go back at this crucial juncture" Mo Yunjing's voice was devoid of emotion. "Mo Junyi, if you encounter danger, will you be able to retreat unscathed Do you know how many people from the Yun army were lost when they risked their lives to smuggle you out of prison"
Every word that Mo Yunjing spoke pierced Mo Junyi's heart like a knife.
He knew, of course he knew, that countless Yun Family Army soldiers had died to save him from prison. But he… only wanted to see his father once more.
An Xuetang saw the tears in Mo Junyi's eyes, she reached out and gently wiped them away, her voice as gentle and warm as jade:
"Ziling, your fifth uncle isn't blaming you. He just doesn't want you to take risks. You barely escaped that place in the capital. Going back now is like walking into a trap. This simply won't work. Don't even mention that your fifth uncle wouldn't approve, your mother certainly wouldn't either!"
Under the Emperor's feet, there was little they could do. Knowing how dangerous this situation was, how could she let Mo Junyi risk going back
Besides, for that emperor, one hostage was enough. If the emperor wanted to kill either Mo Yunchen or Mo Junshi, there was nothing Mo Yunjing could do about it here.
After all, as long as the puppet emperor still has hostages in his hands, Mo Yunjing will always be on the defensive.
Mo Junyi pursed his lips, he knew Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang would not agree.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Uncle Five, Mother, please rest assured. I won't mention this again."
If his going back would cause trouble for people, then he'd just bear it.
An Xuetang knew he was sensible, so she patted his head at this moment, "Be good, go to sleep. Your Uncle Wu will take care of other things."
"Hmm."
Mo Junyi closed his eyes, so as not to worry them.
An Xue Tang looked at Mo Yun Jing, the two of them silently staring at each other, not knowing what to say.
The two were still awake until Mo Junyi beside them gradually breathed steadily, and when he fell asleep, An Xuetang lowered her voice, "Ah Jing, there's something I've always wanted to know."
"Hmm" Mo Yunjing reached out and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong"
"A Jing, have you never thought about rebelling"
Mo Yunjing touched it, "Never."
"Why"
"I don't want to be emperor."
"But you should understand now how important imperial power and wealth are in this world," An Xue Tang said with a slight smile.
"Well," Mo Yunjing kissed her forehead, "Would Tangtang like imperial power and wealth"
"No," An Xuetang's answer came almost without hesitation. She pursed her lips, "Ah Jing, if it were possible, I would rather spend the most ordinary days with you, even without power or status. As long as we are safe and happy."
Perhaps it was because of her past life as a killer, constantly on the run and facing danger, that she so desperately craved a peaceful and stable life in this one.
Moyu Jing curled her lips, "I don't want any imperial power or wealth. Before Tangtang appeared, I only wanted to protect my brother and Zilong. After Tangtang appeared, besides protecting them, I found that I had something even more important."
An Xuetang curled her lips, “Ah Jing, are you referring to me Am I the most important person to Ah Jing”
Mo Yunjing chuckled, "Well, yes."
"An Xuetang was in a good mood, but she still returned to the topic. "Ah Jing, let's be serious, the emperor can't tolerate you, your brother, and Ziling now. Haven't you considered rebelling by now"
Just say what you want, and I will do my best to help you!
Mo Yunjing pondered for a moment before answering An Xuetang's question, "I don't want to, but I have to resist!"
To save him and those he wants to save, one must be willing to die for them.
So, even if he doesn't want to fight back, he has to fight back, and he has to fight back thoroughly!
An Xuetang curled her lips and rubbed her little head against his chest, "Then what are you planning on doing Are we going to directly raise troops and fight our way back to the capital"
Mo Yunjing smiled, "Then it's highly likely that we won't even make it to the foot of the capital."
"Huh"
"My Northern Xinjiang army is down to 300,000 men, Tangtang. How many Imperial Guards are there in the capital"
"Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand"
"Two hundred thousand."
"An Xue Tang was stunned, but after a moment's thought, she could understand. The emperor was so afraid of death, and the Imperial Forest Army existed to protect him, so it wasn't surprising that there were so many people in the Imperial Forest Army!"
Mo Yunjing continued to explain, "Besides the Imperial Forest Army, when we return from Beijang to the capital, we need to pass through five cities. Each city has 200,000 troops guarding it, which means that if we want to fight our way back, we have to go through many battles and eliminate these one million soldiers first. Tangtang, although I am confident in myself, fighting thirty thousand against one million is still a bit risky."
"!!"
An Xuetang, upon hearing his words, suddenly realized that her own thoughts were truly simplistic and naive.
No wonder she had suffered so much grievance over the years without ever fighting back. There must be so many twists and turns behind this.
An Xuetang fell silent for a long time, “Ah Jing, perhaps we should think things over carefully before plotting a rebellion.”
Mo Yunjing smiled and rubbed her head with his big palm, "Well, since you've decided to go against it, I'll have a plan. Don't worry about it, Tangtang."
"Well, well, I don't worry about it."Feng Ming soon left the capital city of Xiliang, heading north all the way to the city where Han Yun was.After so many days of fussing around, An Xuetang had long since left her confinement period.Und...
