On the battlefield in the distance, swords blew and horses roared, and the yellow sand in the sky was wrapped in bursts of blood, sweeping every soldier.

The banners fluttered, the war drums sounded, and the bones piled up under the horse's hooves formed a "mountain". Yan Qi got off the horse, found an open space, raised his head, and looked at Lexi's dilapidated Chixiao Gate.

The golden armored battle robe fluttered with the wind, and the once fair face was stained with drops of blood.

Although not unkempt, but after several days of hard fighting, even the battle-tested Yan Qi was exhausted.

This Xiongnu army has always been physically strong and violent, and every move and style is pouring down like a torrential rain.

Fortunately, the soldiers of Long Xia had the heart of serving the country and vowed to drive the Xiongnu back to Mobei and take back Lexi. Even though Long Xia's army suffered countless casualties, they did not show the slightest sign of cowardice.

"Attack now, or take it in one fell swoop after some repairs?"

General Stone held the ox horn wine glass and raised his head and poured a sip into his mouth, then raised his hand to wipe the wine stains from the corner of his mouth hastily.

Yan Qi took a deep breath, thinking about the number of remaining soldiers and provisions.

"How long will the reserve food and grass last for our army?"

"Less than seven days." Shitou's eyes dodged a little, and Yan Qi happened to catch him.

He asked suspiciously: "Can Liu Tian win Scarlet Cloud City?"

Taking Chixiao City, which the Huns regarded as their lifeblood, in six days was nothing short of a dream.

Regardless of how ferocious the Xiongnu were, the little food and grass left by Yan Qi's army was not enough to last three days.

Why didn't Yan Qi know that he was completely incapable of taking Scarlet Cloud City within three days, not to mention that the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers behind him depended on him.

At this time, what he was thinking in his mind was that he must take Scarlet Cloud City within a very short period of time, but also not let the soldiers die in vain.

Seeing him lost in thought, Shi Shi didn't want to disturb him any longer. He had a vague feeling that he was about to win.

Therefore, from the beginning when he attacked Le Xi, he was a little indifferent, because in his cognition, it was impossible for Yan Qi to lose, and it was even more impossible for Long Xia to lose.

"National Teacher! Master National Teacher! Go and see Your Majesty!" Luo Fu hurriedly rushed into the side room of the Yunzhong Hall with tears in his voice.

On the other side of the screen, Mo Ci had just finished bathing, and there were still drops of water on his hair, as if covered by a thick fog, making Mo Ci's face invisible, but the perfect body line could be vaguely seen.

Mo Ci put on his coat, facing the bronze mirror in front of him, and slowly wiped the water droplets from his hair, and then he seemed to realize that Luo Fu was there.

"Why are you so flustered?" He turned his back to Luo Fu, and the sky blue golden silk robe with rolling clouds on his body hurt Luo Fu's eyes.

This dress is exactly the same as the dilapidated robe that Mo Ci wore when he was taking Mo Ci's heart and blood in the dungeon that day.

If there is a difference, probably this one is brand new, while that one bears all the pain of Mo Ci.

Luo Fu knelt on the ground, his head so low that he almost stuck to the ground: "Your Majesty, he quarreled with the ministers in the court hall, and even brandished his sword and shouted to kill them!"

The movement of Mo Ci's hands stopped, he faced the mirror, looked at himself in there, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Understood, tell the Holy One that our national teacher will pass by in a while, and let him not be impulsive."

On the Golden Luan Hall, Chu Yue was like a irritated wolf, he snatched the sword from the waist of the guard and pointed at Li Jue, the closest prime minister.

Messy hair, scarlet eyes, not at all like the emperor on the ninety-five supreme position.

The leader of the forbidden army, Nian Guoyun, led a group of forbidden troops to appear in the Golden Luan Hall for an unprecedented time. He wanted to escort him, but he realized that it was not someone who wanted to kill the current emperor, but the current emperor wanted to kill someone.

This left him at a loss as to what to do.

"Boss Nian! Your Majesty is afraid of being insane, tell your people to get out of the palace gate! Otherwise, you and I will all die here!" The queen's father Chen Guogong Chen Yi suddenly shouted at Nian Guoyun.

Just at this moment when he was tangled and at a loss, a sword light attacked Chen Yi, but fortunately he was stopped by Situ Fang, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.

"My lord! Be sober!"

"Everyone of you who bullies and humiliates me should be killed!"

The person who bullied him was the abolished emperor Ning Yuan, and the person who insulted him was the people of the world. What he wanted to kill was not just a group of well-dressed ministers in the court, but all the people in the world.

"Your Majesty." Mo Ci's voice echoed in the Golden Luan Hall, but he arrived first before seeing his voice.

Under Nian Guoyun's instructions, the imperial army gave way to the gate of the palace, and Mo Ci walked steadily step by step into the narrow path left by the officials.

Chu Yue in the hall seemed to have heard Mo Ci's voice, but when he saw clearly that the person coming was coming against the light, he suddenly turned his back to Mo Ci and his highness and ministers.

"Don't come, don't come!" Chu Yue squatted down trembling all over, and buried his head in his arms.

"A Yue, don't be afraid, I'm here." Although the words were extremely gentle, the tone was extremely cold.

Mo Ci approached Chu Yue, squatted down slowly, and stretched out his hands to gather Chu Yue's hair scattered on his forehead behind his ears.

Chu Yue clenched his hands into fists, crossed them in front of his chest, his eyes were full of fear.

"National teacher! What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Situ Fang was quite worried about Chu Yue's physical condition.

He hoped that Chu Yue would do well more than anyone present, because until now, the only one who could compete with the national teacher Mo Ci was this—the emperor who Mo Ci personally supported.

Even though Mo Ci is in power, compared to the abolished emperor Ning Yuan, Chu Yue is superior in the depth of the city and has a beautiful strategy.

Mo Ci hugged Chu Yue horizontally: "The Holy Majesty just had a nightmare at night, sleepwalking, all the ministers, don't worry."

"I'm afraid that someone is acting as a hindrance, causing His Majesty to lose face in this golden palace!" Chen Yi rolled his eyes, and flicked his sleeve vigorously, as if to make everyone pay attention to him.

"Then I don't know who Chen Jungong is talking about?" Mo Ci's blue eyes narrowed slightly, Chu Yue in his arms kept moving, and he directly pinched Chu Yue's palm a little annoyed.

Chu Yue was in pain, but he didn't cry out, but looked at Mo Ci pitifully with his eyes that were dimly stained with tears.

This is not the first time for Chen Yi to confront Mo Ci directly in the courtroom. I wonder if Mo Ci is so used to pampering him that he dares to challenge him directly now.

"Who does the national teacher think can get close to the body of the sage? Who can the sage trust unconditionally?"

"Naturally, it's the Empress Empress who is respected by my mother, and also your daughter Chen Qingxuan, the Duke of the county, who has the ability to get close to the Holy One." Mo Ci didn't know that Chen Yi wanted to bring trouble to him again.

"Shut up! How can you shout out the name of empress directly!" Chen Yi's eyes lit up angrily, and his teeth were gritted.

Mo Ci weighed Chu Yue up, and smiled condescendingly at Chen Yi: "If I don't let you, do you think she can sit on this phoenix chair?"

If he refused, even Chu Yue would find it difficult to sit on the throne, let alone the daughter of a mere county prince.
