The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

Seeing Marquis Mu Wei enter Mu Yan's tent, Ye Qing quickly stood up and saluted.

"You should go out and have a rest first." Mu Weihou said to Ye Qing.

Last night, Ye Qing followed Mu Yan to attack the Beiqi camp. He had been busy all night and had not had a rest yet. He bid farewell to Mu Weihou and his son and left Mu Yan's tent.

When Mu Weihou picked up the medicine that Ye Qing had just placed on Mu Yan's bedside, Mu Yan couldn't help but shrink his body and said hurriedly.

"Okay, Dad, Ye Qing has already applied it for me, so there's no need to apply it again."

In public, the father and son addressed each other as superior and inferior, but in private, Mu Yan would still call Mu Weihou "Dad".

Mu Yan knew that Marquis Mu Wei was very angry because he had secretly led the soldiers out of the camp this time. He was afraid that Marquis Mu Wei would vent his anger on the wound on his back, and then he would really lose the remaining half of his life.

Mu Weihou snorted in annoyance, but the hand that applied the medicine on Mu Yan's back was surprisingly gentle, much more comfortable than the one applied by Ye Qing.

Mu Yan was delighted, for he knew that Marquis Mu Wei's anger must have subsided a lot.

"Tell me what's going on at Camp Kitaki."

Mu Yan recounted the story of how he led a thousand elite soldiers to attack the Beiqi camp last night.

"That old thief Boerji is still waiting for us to fall for him on the Wolf Fang Hill, but we have already found his camp to the east and emptied his granary. There are still some that cannot be moved, so I will have people light a fire on the south side of the granary, and take advantage of the night to lead the fire to other tents in the north."

"We moved the food and cut off their horse trail before we started the fire. When those guys from Beiqi wanted to catch up, they found that the trail was cut off. They watched us leave without being able to do anything to us, and they were so angry that their thighs were swollen."

Mu Yan was talking to Mu Weihou complacently. Mu Weihou looked at his complacent look and exerted force on the hand that was applying the medicine.

"Ouch! It hurts! Dad, please be gentle."

Mu Weihou sneered and said, "Just one lucky break has made you so proud. Do you know that the arrogant will be defeated?"

"I understand. I won't dare to do it next time. But Dad, we submitted a military report to the court asking for food and people. Did the court reply?"

Marquis Mu Wei sighed and said, "Not yet. I sent three urgent reports to the capital, but I haven't received a response yet. This year, not only did our food in Dongyue disappear due to the heavy snow, but many cattle and sheep in Beiqi were also frozen to death. We can't wait, and neither can they. This time, they broke the friendship treaty between the two countries first and took our food first. It seems that they don't want to wait any longer."

"Dad, I went to Beiqi camp and heard from the Beiqi people that even the capital has been hit by the plague. I wonder if Ah Jin is okay."

"I just received a letter from the General's Mansion today, saying that Ah Jin returned to the General's Mansion to celebrate New Year's Eve. It seems that he is planning to divorce Su Yuntian and not leave. If he stays in the General's Mansion and does not leave, then there should be nothing to worry about."

After hearing what Marquis Mu Wei said, Mu Yan was able to put his worries about Mu Jin to rest.

"Then Dad, the court hasn't replied yet, so we are just going to wait?"

After helping Mu Yan apply the medicine, Marquis Mu Wei covered him with a warm blanket and said, "I have discussed this with the generals this morning. We can't just wait like this. We will move camp early tomorrow morning and retreat to the interior of the pass. We need to save some food and wait for the Southern Court Forbidden Army to lend us some food to get through this."

Mu Yan said: "When can we borrow food for the Southern Court's Imperial Guards?

"It's such a long journey, it will probably take a month to get there." Mu Wei said.

In the dining hall of the general's mansion in the capital, Qing'er was serving Mu Jin his meal.

"Have you counted all the dowry that was brought back yesterday?"

"Not yet. Miss, you can tell how many there are by looking at the cars lined up from the beginning to the end of the street yesterday."

"Is there so much? Then count them out, and sell the rest except for mother's dowry which will be left to my future sister-in-law."

Qing'er was surprised when she heard this: "Miss, why is this happening?

"This year's harvest is not good. Although Su Yuntian told me before that the court would not be short of food for the army, you also saw this time that Su Yi and I had to collect the food rations for the thousands of disaster victims outside the city. The amount provided by the court was not enough for the people outside the city to spend for two days."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, he paused and frowned.

"I'm worried that Daddy's army will run out of food. This time you should also take the more than 200,000 jewels in my room to Shuyu Tower and sell them. Last time I heard from Zhao Yefan that he could get 100,000 silver coins. Take them to the south together with the silver I got from selling my dowry and see if you can buy some food to send to Daddy at the border."

When Qing'er heard this, she nodded in agreement.

Mu Jin was about to finish his meal when Xiao Si came to report.

"Miss, King Yi and the Sixth Princess invite you to go out of the city for a spring outing. The carriage is already parked in front of the gate of the General's Mansion and waiting."

Mu Jin looked at the weather outside the yard and nodded. It was indeed a sunny day.

Mu Jin said to the servant, "Ask Princess Yi Wang to wait for a moment. I will change my clothes and go."

Mu Jin asked Qing'er to do a simple makeup and hair job for her, then stood up to go out. Qing'er followed her with a cloak in her hand.

"Miss, this spring day is warm, but the melting snow outside the city can still make you cold. You'd better put on a cloak."

Mu Jin looked at the pink cloak in Qing'er's hand and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She didn't say anything. After Qing'er helped her put on the cloak, she left the general's mansion.

Su Yi was used to enjoying himself. The carriage at the front today was as big as a small room, which looked a bit exaggerated.

Behind the big carriage were two slightly smaller carriages, probably used by the servants who served Su Yi and his sister.

When Su Yi saw Mu Jin walking out of the general's mansion, he smiled and squinted his eyes and smiled at Mu Jin.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Ah Jin is more beautiful than ever."

Mu Jin sneered: "Am I usually ugly?"

"No, absolutely not. It's because I can't speak. Please get in the carriage, Ajin." After Su Yi said this, he hurriedly helped Mu Jin open the curtain and let Mu Jin get in his carriage.

Mu Jin got on the carriage and found that besides Su Muxue, there was also Zhao Yefan in the carriage, which made her a little surprised.

When Su Muxue saw Mu Jin getting on the carriage, her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Ajin, you finally came out. I haven't seen you for a long time. This princess missed you so much."

Mu Jin glanced at Zhao Yefan, then at Su Muxue, and sat down next to Su Muxue with a meaningful smile on his face.

Su Muxue knew what Mu Jin's smile meant. When Mu Jin sat down, she couldn't help but pinch Mu Jin with her hand as a warning.

"Miss Mu." Zhao Yefan greeted Mu Jin who was sitting next to Su Muxue with a smile.

"Boss Zhao is so free today?"

"Ah~ It's a sad story. After the plague, everything was in ruins and the Shuyu Tower had no business. But when they knew King Yi was going out of town for a spring outing, they shamelessly followed him."

At this time, Su Yi also got on the carriage and sat next to Zhao Yefan, facing Mu Jin.

Su Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, looked up and said to Mu Jin with a smile.

"I heard that Ah Jin said in front of the emperor that he went through untold hardships and saved his life in that trap deep in the mountains?"

Mu Jin picked up the teacup and just put the tea into her mouth. When she heard Su Yi's words, she spurted out a mouthful of tea, which sprayed right onto Su Yi's face.
