Chapter 411
Goodbye Battlefield
On this day, Ye Mu was building her physique. She ate five meals a day now, more meals but in small portions, and the rest of the time was used to recuperate.
In the evening, Prime Minister Wen visited.
“Empress, Yuan Country has been defeated. Only Yue Country is resisting now. Yue Country was friends with us before and is still Empress’ home, so His Majesty didn’t want to fight them at first.
“But some people in Yue Country saw that Mo Country has fought so many countries and now is a spent arrow, and so instigated Yue’s monarch and our Mo Country to start a war.
“If this war is fought, it’s uncertain when His Majesty can come back.”
As soon as Ye Mu heard that Yue Country initiated a war with Mo Country, she was saddened because she had the deepest involvement with these two countries. She asked the prime minister, “If I want to go to the battlefield now, do you support?”
Prime Minister Wen was startled and quickly opposed.
“Empress, your body is very precious, how can you go to the battlefield? Furthermore, your body still has not completely recovered. If you go out now, what if something happens? How will I explain to His Majesty? No no, we can discuss anything else, but this is a definite no!”
Seeing such strong refusal from him, Ye Mu helplessly said, “Lately I’ve been feeling pretty much recovered, I have no problem walking outside. If you worry about my safety, you can send someone to escort me.”
Seeing Prime Minister Wen still wanted to refuse, Ye Mu said:
“I was never by his side in all the previous wars. I want to accompany him in this last war, and, maybe, if I leave, this war can be avoided? After all, Yue’s monarch and I are acquainted.”
Prime Minister Wen had wanted to stand his ground, but Ye Mu kept pestering him with her silver tongue. Finally, after a long while, Prime Minister Wen grudgingly agreed, but he also had a condition: Ye Mu must bring along enough people with her, or he would never agree to this!
Ye Mu had wanted to travel simply by carriage. After all, in time of emergency, she didn’t want to use too much manpower. But Prime Minister Wen persisted and she had no choice but to agree with Prime Minister Wen. Then, she rode the carriage.
That day, about a hundred troops set out from Mo Country, hurrying along toward Yue Country.
In this group of troops, everyone else was riding a horse; there was only one carriage, and Ye Mu was inside.
Ye Mu, who seemed to have little experience being in a carriage, felt bumpy. But so that she could see Mo Linyuan soon, she didn’t say a word. She should replenish her body’s nutrition every day. When the appropriate time came, she would go down to rest.
From here to Mo Linyuan’s location, with the slow pace of the carriage would take over a month. This was perfect in giving ample time for her to recuperate.
On the other side, Mo Country’s army and Yue Country’s met. Because Yue Country didn’t spend too much strength and received the biggest advantage in the previous five countries’ alliance, Yue Country expended the least strength right now.
Although Mo Country expanded, it had fought so many countries and was quite exhausted at this moment, so many people kept an eye on Yue Country in this battle.
The two armies had fought a small battle.
At this moment in the camp, Mo Linyuan and his subordinates were currently analyzing, how should they operate now?
Because they were actually at a disadvantage in this war. After all, they’d been fighting so many countries along the way. Although their demeanor was majestic, Mo Country’s army was actually in an exhausted state.
The number of troops of both sides actually were about the same, so Ye Xiaoliang thought if they wanted to win this war, they could only outsmart them.
Yue’s monarch personally led the troops.
Last time, Mo Linyuan didn’t kill him, and he couldn’t capture Mo Linyuan. After Mo Linyuan escaped from Yue Country, not long had passed and Qi Yan heard about Yuan Country surrendering.
Now only Mo Country and Yue Country remained in the world. Mo Country had occupied many territories, but because their troops were exhausted, Yue Country was likely to win this war!
Qi Yan didn’t think too much at first, but the people under him pestered him and told him, Mo Country had annexed the other five countries, and also said, as long as Yue Country could defeat Mo Country, Yue Country would be the new hegemon.
The former Yue Country never had this kind of thought, but with an opportunity placed before them, as if as long as they worked hard, they could attain the dream Yue Country had never thought of, the monarch of the world.
Ye Mu rushed to the border of the war at this particular moment!
Both countries did not give way to the other and would fight soon. After Ye Mu reached the border, she couldn’t rest and hastily went over in the direction of the battlefield.
Unfortunately, when Ye Mu rushed there, she happened to encounter the two countries in the phase of a battle.
At this moment, before they could fight, both sides’ armies stood facing each other. The situation looked tense.
Anyone who had eyes would not rush over and court death at this moment. Yue’s monarch personally led the troops, and to show respect, Mo Linyuan also took the lead.
Seeing Mo Linyuan, Qi Yan said, “I really don’t want to fight you, but since you wish to invade Yue Country, I will not go easy on you.”
Mo Linyuan stood firmly. The ruling of the world only lacked the last step. No matter if it was for Ye Mu or himself, or for the commoners, he had to accomplish it.
He wore silver armor, sitting on the horse’s back. He said word by word, “Bring it on, this war will decide the hegemon!”
Just as the drum had been hit, when they were about to fight, a group of troops hurriedly rushed over. Both sides froze.
Mo Linyuan, seeing that that carriage was from Mo Country’s imperial palace, felt puzzled.
Who from the palace would be looking for him at this time?
And the next second, he knew who had come looking for him. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes!
Ye Mu lifted the curtains and jumped down from the carriage. She was a few hundred meters away from Mo Linyuan, but to Ye Mu, this distance was a span of a few millenniums.
She knew she had really gone to the modern world, and only one soul left her body. It was clear her heart cared for him so much.
She also missed him. It had been such a long time; he had lost a lot of weight and was no better than her condition.
A lump formed in Ye Mu’s throat and she yelled:
“Husband!”
And she ran all out toward Mo Linyuan!
Mo Linyuan thought he was dreaming. The Ye Mu in front of him and before he left looked completely different. She had become lively and was not thin and weak as if she would die at any time.
She woke up, she really had woken up!
He didn’t know what he felt, Mo Linyuan only felt his chest squeeze. He could only watch her run up to him.
