The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 409

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights in the tent were bright. Mo Shaoxie was sitting at the table, his brows furrowed and his face solemn. His eyes revealed an unspeakable fatigue and anxiety, as if he was swallowed by the night, but a firm light flashed in the darkness.

"Master, we lost 3,568 soldiers tonight, 2,522 of them were lightly injured, and 865 were seriously injured." Mo Feng walked into the tent, his voice low and heavy. He knew very well that although this battle repelled the Xiliang army, the price paid was so heavy.

Mo Shaoxie's face instantly darkened as dark clouds covered his head when he heard this. He clenched his hands into fists, veins popping out, as if he wanted to vent all his anger and grief. He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"The Northern Army will arrive in ten days." Mo Feng continued, with a hint of joy in his voice.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes lit up. I wonder if Ling'er will come along? Mo Shaoxie felt very complicated. He wanted to see Ling'er, but he didn't want to see her appear.

He didn't want her to see the cruelty of the battlefield, and he was afraid that she would get tired from the long journey.

"How is Xue Zhiyan doing?" Mo Shaoxie suddenly asked.

Xue Zhiyan is currently developing an antidote in the camp.

"Doctor Xue has already prepared medicine and given it to the soldiers with symptoms. The situation has been brought under control." Mo Feng replied. There was a hint of relief in his words. At least the lives of the soldiers were guaranteed for now.

"We also found out that it was a Xiliang spy who put drugs in the wells in the city." Mo Feng continued, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "What a good trick. Doctor Xue has had people control the wells. Before the antidote is prepared, no water from the wells can be used."

There was a murderous intent in his words. He would never tolerate these spies.

"Let the generals come in." Mo Shaoxie suddenly said, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that the next decision would affect the direction of the entire battle.

Mo Feng left in response, and soon several generals entered the tent one after another. They all looked tired and anxious, but when they saw Mo Shaoxie, they all showed a determined look.

Mo Shaoxie discussed with several generals how to deploy next.

After discussing for a while, several generals nodded in agreement and left the tent.

Mo Feng walked in with a bowl of noodles, "Master, eat something."

Mo Shaoxie said in a cold voice, "We must find out how these spies sneaked into the city and whether they have other plans."

"Pass the order down, strengthen patrols and inspections in the city, and strictly interrogate any suspicious people." Mo Shaoxie ordered, "At the same time, send out an elite team to secretly search for the hiding place of the spies."

"Yes"

Mo Shaoxie ate the noodles in big mouthfuls and finished the whole bowl of noodles in no time.

Mo Feng packed up and walked out.

As the night deepened, the lights in the tent were still bright. Mo Shaoxie sat at the desk, holding a pen tightly in his hand, and was carefully reviewing the military and battle reports. His eyes were firm and deep.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent. Mo Feng walked in quickly, with a hint of nervousness and excitement on his face. "Master, there is news!" he whispered.

Mo Shaoxie raised his head, a gleam in his eyes. "Speak." He said briefly.

"We found the hiding place of the Xiliang spies, in an abandoned house in the south of the city." Mo Feng said, "And we also captured a few spies, they were trying to escape."

"Okay!" Mo Shaoxie stood up and slammed the table, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Take me to see them immediately!"

Mo Feng and Mo Shaoxie quickly left the tent and headed for the abandoned house in the south of the city. In the night, their figures shuttled through the streets like two flashes of lightning and soon arrived at their destination.

The abandoned house was brightly lit, and several soldiers were standing in the yard with a few spies.

Mo Shaoxie walked forward and looked at these spies coldly. They all had expressions of fear and despair on their faces, and they obviously knew their fate.

"Tell me, how did you sneak into the city? Do you have other accomplices?" Mo Shaoxie asked sternly.

The spies looked at each other, no one dared to speak. Mo Shaoxie sneered, suddenly made a move, grabbed one of them by the collar, and lifted him up.

"I'll ask you again, how did you sneak into the city?" Mo Shaoxie's tone was full of murderous intent.

The spy was so frightened that he trembled all over and finally told the truth. It turned out that they took advantage of the chaos in the city and the fatigue of the soldiers to sneak into the city. Their purpose was to create chaos in the city, weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, and create opportunities for the Xiliang army to attack.

After listening to the confession of the spy, a cold light flashed in Mo Shaoxie's eyes.

"Kill!" Mo Shaoxie ordered.

The soldiers took the order and took the spies away.

Mo Shaoxie and Mo Feng stood in the yard, looking at the stars in the night sky and fell into deep thought.

In the following days, they increased patrols and inspections in the city, and also strengthened the training and physical training of the soldiers to enable them to restore their combat effectiveness in the shortest time possible.

Thanks to Xue Zhiyan's efforts, the antidote was finally developed and distributed to the poisoned soldiers. Their condition was effectively controlled and gradually improved, which made Mo Shaoxie and the generals feel relieved.

At this moment, the general of the Northern Kingdom had arrived.

The moonlight is hazy and the stars are twinkling. The border town of the Dongyue Dynasty is usually quiet and peaceful.

Mo Feng walked in with a face full of joy. His steps were hurried, his sleeves fluttering, and he seemed to be filled with an indescribable excitement. He walked up to Mo Shaoxie who was deep in thought and reported in a low voice: "Master, good news! The Northern Kingdom's army has arrived. The spies reported that they will arrive in half an hour."

Mo Shaoxie's eyes flashed with a gleam of light when he heard this. He stood up, his figure as straight as a pine tree, like an unshakable mountain. He took a deep breath, as if absorbing the strength around him. Then, he ordered in a deep voice: "Okay, send a team of elite soldiers to follow me out of the city to welcome him."

"Yes!" Mo Feng responded and stepped back, quickly going to arrange the welcoming arrangements.

The war between the Dongyue Dynasty and Xiliang has been going on for several months, with both sides winning and losing.

Although he was about to take over Xiliang, it would be time-consuming and laborious. Once the Northern Kingdom arrived, he could end the war as soon as possible and defeat Xiliang. There was also the Southern Chu Kingdom in the south, which was always a threat.

Half an hour later, the Northern Kingdom's army arrived as expected. They rode on tall horses, wore iron armor, held spears, and were full of vigor. Mo Shaoxie led the soldiers of the East Moon Dynasty to meet them. When the two armies met, Mo Shaoxie shook hands with the Northern Kingdom's generals and discussed the next strategy together.
