Not only Mo Xiao, but others also noticed the flow of the thick fog around them and the increasingly clear vision.

Tuoba Xuan was concentrating on drinking soup, but the noise in his ears became louder and louder. Until he raised his head, he saw a pot of soup boiling with white smoke not far away... He could not see anything just now, and the bowl of mutton soup in his hand was brought to him by the soldiers below who heard the sound and groped their way to it.

Tuoba Xuan suddenly stood up, looked around, and shouted in surprise: "The fog is about to dissipate."

Mo Xiao was standing opposite him. His usually gloomy face showed a rare smile. He hummed softly, "Yes, the fog is about to dissipate."

Mo Xiao turned to look at Tuoba Xuan and said with a half-smile: "Congratulations, you are right this time."

Tuoba Xuan felt a chill in his heart, and the joy he had felt before completely disappeared. He had no doubt that if the fog didn't dissipate, Mo Xiao would kill him with a knife.

He didn't say anything else, just raised his hand and drank up all the remaining mutton soup in the bowl. He knew that he would face a tough battle next, and he couldn't let himself be embarrassed. He had to stand up straight and proudly in front of his father and brother.

Mo Xiao was no longer looking at him. Instead, he faced the soldiers who were gradually gathering around him and said loudly, "Soldiers, the fog is about to dissipate. We have a tough battle ahead. Are you all ready?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "We are ready."

"Long live your Majesty!"

Mo Xiao smiled, looked at everyone, and said word by word: "Okay, I will advance and retreat with you."

One sentence once again brought cheers from the soldiers.

Mo Xiao used his courage and sincerity to win the respect and support of the soldiers. His words were echoed by hundreds of people.

Mo Xiao turned around, the smile on his face faded a little, and he lowered his head to adjust his sleeves while saying, "Pass the order down, we will set off in half an hour."

The moment the order was issued, the crowd that had just been shouting and cheering instantly dispersed and began to do their respective jobs, preparing to evacuate this hellish place that had been trapped by fog for several days.

Tuoba Xuan was still walking beside Mo Xiao, with several secret guards following him, in the name of protection but actually for surveillance.

He followed Mo Xiao and said in a low voice, "Go north. I know there is a path there that will bypass the dense forest ahead and lead directly to the Black River. As long as we cross the Black River and go another fifty miles, we will reach the royal court."

"No one else knows about that road. Look at the map of mountains and rivers I gave you. It's on it."

Mo Xiao didn't even turn his head. He walked forward and said, "You know, how could others not know?"

"Believe me, that road is really close, and no one knows about it." Tuoba Xuan said quickly, "We have been trapped here for three days, and have already delayed the opportunity to fight. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the situation will change. Taking this path can at least shorten the distance by half, and we can get to the Black River faster to meet up with General Chen Yuan's vanguard camp."

Mo Xiao: "How can I trust you? If someone else knows that road, the royal court will set up an ambush there, and we will be caught in one fell swoop as soon as we step in."

Tuoba Xuan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "My mother told me that path."

Mo Xiao finally stopped and looked back at Tuoba Xuan.

Tuoba Xuan seemed extremely reluctant, but still said: "This road was discovered by you Han people. My mother was taken outside the Great Wall by human traffickers along this road."
