Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 165: Yearning in the Heart

Mo Ye looked at Xia Qin's serious expression and couldn't help but smile slightly. There was a hint of teasing and mockery in his eyes. He slowly said, "To show those despicable and dirty things openly is what we call aboveboard. Now there are people in charge of monitoring here, so don't worry. How are the other aspects of the situation?"

After hearing what Mo Ye said, Xia Qin showed a relaxed smile on her face.

Her tone was very calm, and she answered slowly: "Ruo Tong led the Pingnan Army to advance southward, and the Japanese pirates in Jiaozhou barely put up any effective resistance. According to some captured Japanese pirates, there seemed to be a power struggle within their country, causing it to fall into chaos. Now, they are too busy to take care of themselves and have no time to pay attention to the situation in Daxia."

"It's really a troubled time, but it's also a good thing. It's a good opportunity to retake the entire Jiaozhou," Mo Ye thought. "Although Jiaozhou is remote, poor and sparsely populated, after taking Jiaozhou, our pressure will be much lighter. And if everything goes well in Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Jingzhou will be able to form a semi-encirclement of Yizhou. In this way, Yangzhou will have no pressure except Xuzhou in the north."

Xia Qin nodded and continued, "Speaking of Xuzhou, last time Brother Hong and his men destroyed their food supplies, Dongfang Yi seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and has already taken over half of Guangling County and Xiapi County. After achieving their strategic goals, the Zhenbei Army is now on the defensive and waiting for an attack."

"After all, he is a famous young general in the whole Daxia." Mo Ye was full of admiration for Dongfang Yi. "He is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immovable as a mountain. He is indeed a military genius. In this way, Brother Jinyu will have nothing to worry about on the eastern front."

"Brother, how could he be idle? These past few days, he has asked Senior Lu Cheng to make a large number of siege weapons. He said that Qin Haoran, Liu Yunhe and other Qin Party generals are not so easy to deal with. Whether in terms of military strength or control range, we are still generally at a disadvantage, so we should be on the safe side."

Mo Ye nodded, agreeing with Dongfang Jinyu's caution.

The battlefield changes rapidly and any negligence may lead to fatal consequences. Although certain victories have been achieved and everything seems to be going well, they must remain vigilant in the face of powerful enemies.

"Brother Jinyu is right," Mo Ye agreed with Mu Jinyu's words, "Although Qin Huiqi has colluded with Yuelan Kingdom, Xiongnu, Goryeo, and Wa Kingdom, and used these relationships to slowly replace almost all border army generals with Qin's party members, it does not mean that they are all useless."

Everyone knew very well that although these border army generals were controlled by the Qin Party, most of them had certain military talents and experience and could not be simply described as "waste".

"Mo Ye, hurry up and end it," Xia Qin thought. She had traveled through time and space to this foolish young lady, and the past year or so did not seem to be any easier than the days in her original world. In this world, she had experienced too many twists and turns and hardships. She hoped to end this dispute as soon as possible and live a peaceful life. "After Da Xia is stable, we will find a place to live in seclusion with my brother and Xiyue."

Xia Qin has always had this wish. She hopes to find a quiet place, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and enjoy a free and easy life.

Hearing Xia Qin's beautiful vision, Mo Ye looked at her calm yet somewhat sad face in the moonlight, his eyes full of pity.

He knew that Xia Qin had experienced too much suffering, and he had long decided to protect Xia Qin, fulfill her wishes, and let her live a happy life.

As he spoke, he gently held Xia Qin's hand, giving her warmth and comfort.

"Of course I will go with you, but do you know what Brother Jinyu thinks?"

"I know my brother. If it weren't for my father and me, he would have run away from home like you to find Xiyue's whereabouts," Xia Qin said confidently. "Although my brother is only 25, he has been on the battlefield for nearly ten years. He must have been tired over the years. Didn't you notice the look in his eyes when he saw Xiyue?"

Mo Ye asked curiously: "What kind of look?"

"It's like that, his eyes are filled with one person, with no room for anything else," Xia Qin rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "The whole world doesn't exist anymore, and he can't even see me, his sister."

"Oh." Mo Ye squeaked, took Xia Qin's hand and continued walking back.

"Oh what," Xia Qin muttered softly, "Did you understand?"

Mo Ye squeezed Xia Qin's little hand and said softly, "Of course I understand. Isn't it just the way I look at you?"

When Xia Qin heard Mo Ye's words, she suddenly felt dazed. Indeed, in order to save herself, Mo Ye had been searching for the Medicine King Valley in the martial arts world over the years. He had experienced so much and must have suffered a lot.

After rescuing me last year and bringing me to the bamboo forest to recuperate, he has appeared almost every time I was really needed.

Thinking of this, happiness flashed in Xia Qin's eyes and she held Mo Ye's hand tightly.

Mo Ye clearly felt Xia Qin's reaction, and felt relieved in his heart.

In December, Youzhou was covered with thick ice everywhere. Even in the magnificent Tianfu, the biting cold wind was raging like a knife. At this time, Gao Huanyang finally couldn't resist the invasion of the severe cold and fell ill on the bed.

Since Gongsun Xin's father Gongsun Yan was executed for treason, the queen's cousin Tian Yong has served as the governor of Youzhou for seven years.

He has a special affection for this land because it is located in a place with high mountains and long roads, far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.

As the Queen's cousin, he was like a local emperor, enjoying power, wealth and glory.

But now, the emperor is no longer far away, he is lying before him.

The emperor, who already had poor health, finally collapsed in this bitterly cold land of the Northeast after more than half a month of bumpy ride.

"Your Majesty, I asked the best doctor in Youzhou to examine you. Your Majesty is just suffering from yin deficiency. There is nothing serious."

Tian Yong stood by to comfort him. The queen was personally feeding Gao Huanyang medicine. Jia Yi and Crown Prince Gao Yin stood quietly by.

The whole room was dead silent.

Everyone, including the emperor himself, knew how credible Tian Yong's words were.

Sooner or later, the emperor might not survive this winter.

"Yin'er..." The emperor gently pushed away the medicine bowl and looked at his thin son.

"Father." Hearing this, Gao Yin quickly took a few steps and squatted in front of the bed. He said with hatred in his eyes: "When you get better, we will go all the way south and capture Qin Huiqi and his followers. Cut them into pieces!"

Hearing Gao Yin say this, Gao Huanyang couldn't help but smile faintly: "Yin'er, your words make me feel more at ease."

"Father..."

Gao Yin didn't understand, and the Queen, Jia Yi and others didn't understand what Gao Huanyang meant either. They all looked at the emperor who was about to die at any time with puzzled expressions, waiting for his final words.
