After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

It was not until their stomachs protested that Xiao Yunxi and Chun Xiao finally calmed down.

Mo Ruochen had already ordered someone to prepare dinner and was waiting for the master and servant to discuss it.

Xiao Yunxi waved her hand in disdain at Chun Xiao, "Hurry up and have dinner. Your stomach is growling, it's really annoying."

Chun Xiao covered her stomach, lowered her head and muttered softly, "Your stomach is also very upset."

Xiao Yunxi blushed, glared at her fiercely, and gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't go to eat, I will copy the Analects ten times for me!"

What Chunxiao hates most is writing, especially "The Analects of Confucius". The numerous words and phrases make his hands sore, but his brain also feels dizzy.

She immediately lowered her head and took three steps back, "I'll take my leave." She turned around and trotted out, fearing that Xiao Yunxi would really punish her by making her copy "The Analects" ten times.

Mo Ruochen put down the military book in his hand, smiled and looked at Xiao Yunxi who was walking over, "Madam, you worked hard last night, and you have been racking your brains for a long time just now for this trip. Come and have a good rest."

Xiao Yunxi sighed in her heart, who could she blame for all the hard work she had last night?

Now he looks like a considerate and good husband, but last night he was like a hungry wolf, so cruel and impatient that no matter how much he begged for mercy, it was useless!

"Who am I to blame for being exhausted after a night of hard work? Who's coming?!"

Mo Ruochen looked at the angry Xiao Yunxi, then glanced at the closed door and said with a smile: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I really couldn't resist the temptation. I know I was wrong."

Xiao Yunxi rolled her eyes. This old man always knew he was wrong but refused to correct his mistakes. He just kept getting more and more unreasonable!

Mo Ruochen stood up very attentively, pulled Xiao Yunxi over, invited her to sit down, and served her another bowl of old duck soup.

He always believed that men need to have face, but that thing only needs to be maintained when they are outside.

If you still want to save face when you get home, you will have to sleep alone in the study with a cool pillow in your arms.

Mo Ruochen didn't feel that the study was uncomfortable. After all, he often handled official business until late at night and just slept there.

After all, the places where princes rest are all similar, they can’t be very bad.

But it would be much more painful without my lovely wife by my side.

Before, Mo Ruochen had never married or taken a concubine, and he devoted all his attention to official and military affairs, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

But since the wedding, the days of partying every night have been so comfortable that it would feel really bad if I had to sleep in the study for a few nights.

Maybe I'm extremely hungry. Although I had a full dinner yesterday, I also did a lot of exercise. So far today, I've only had a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup.

Xiao Yunxi was indeed hungry, so she didn't say anything and just sat on the chair and prepared to eat.

At a glance, she saw that all of them were her favorite foods. Although there were no spicy dishes, the crystal pork elbow and steamed chicken in lotus leaves were her favorites.

Xiao Yunxi, who was furious just now, now smiled with curved eyebrows and no longer choked people with words.

Seeing this, Mo Ruochen couldn't help but sigh that Qi Yan's method was very good, and it turned out that women all need to be coaxed.

Xiao Yunxi pulled Mo Ruochen to sit down and served him a bowl of soup, "Your Highness, please enjoy your meal."

"My Lord, when do we set out?"

Mo Ruochen drank the soup and felt that today's soup was exceptionally delicious.

"Two days later."

Xiao Yunxi felt unhappy because she had to wait two days before she could go out, but she also felt that there was not enough time to prepare since there were still two days before she had to go out. She was so conflicted that she frowned.

"Although the Zhennan Palace was surrounded by the Jinwu Guards, the border is still a long way from the capital, so the Zhennan Prince should not have received the news so quickly."

"But even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the King of Zhennan cannot have only one source of information."

Although Xiao Yunxi had never been to the battlefield, her mother, the eldest princess, had been there.

Since she was a child, Xie Yuanfeng had told her many stories about the battlefield, and sometimes he would also tell her some strategies and tactics of fighting.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and the outcome can be drastically different even if it’s just one day earlier.

"Then let's set off as soon as possible. Don't wait two days. We can set off tomorrow."

Mo Ruochen looked at Xiao Yunxi and smiled, "It's not that urgent."

“Even if the Prince of Zhennan knew that the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace was surrounded, he would not rebel now. Firstly, the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace deserved the punishment, and no one has been beheaded or imprisoned, so he has no legitimate reason to rebel.

Secondly, he does not have full control over the 100,000 troops on the border yet, so he naturally does not dare to take risks. "

“He has received news from the capital and will take precautions and make arrangements, but we must first go to Beidi and disrupt his allies.

If the Northern Di invade the border, he will fight back no matter what. This is our goal.

So we can give him time to react, but we can't give him time to prepare."

Those soldiers who are disloyal to Emperor Xuanwen and Dali will be sent to fight on the battlefield of Beidi.

Xiao Yunxi sighed, "It would be great if we could achieve this without bloodshed."

Mo Ruochen looked at her in surprise. "It's impossible to fight without bloodshed on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people. We can only try to reduce the casualties of our soldiers."

Beidi is close to the Great Desert and Dali, but its resources and wealth are not as good as those of the Great Desert, let alone Dali.

In recent years, Beidi, Dali and Damu have been fighting for many years, with the fighting going on and off.

Especially in winter, before the snow closed the mountains, the Northern Di would always invade and rob supplies, cattle and horses.

The people living along the border are suffering terribly.

The Prince of Zhennan guarded the border for many years, and his wars with the Northern Di had mixed results.

In the past five years, although the Northern Di have frequently invaded the border, there have been no large-scale battles.

However, the amount of food, wages and supplies that Prince Zhennan asked for from Emperor Xuanwen was increasing.

Mo Ruochen had sent people to investigate before, and found out that whenever the Northern Di invaded, the King of Zhennan would cry poor to the court.

Once the imperial court's food and wages arrive, the black market on the border will be bustling for ten days or half a month.

Who would believe it if there is no trick here?

Previously, the Prince of Zhennan captured the Prince of Beidi alive and sent him back to the capital, but in fact, the Prince of Beidi was just an abandoned pawn of Beidi.

If Emperor Xuanwen still couldn't see through Prince Zhennan's ambitions, he could just abdicate first.

Before, he was thinking of using Xiao Yunxi to find the treasures of the previous dynasty hidden by the old Prince of Zhennan, and kill the entire family of Prince Zhennan without any effort.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

After the eldest princess returned to Beijing, Emperor Xuanwen's strategy changed, but of course, it had to change.

Who made the people who faced Xiao Yunxi and Xie Yuanfeng so stupid and pretentious?

Fortunately, Xiao Jingchen and Mo Ruochen are both very powerful, especially Xiao Jingchen, who has planted a lot of mines for the Zhennan King's army hidden in the deep mountains and forests.

As long as the order is given, the turtle in the jar will be caught.

Emperor Xuanwen originally wanted to seek amnesty for those people, but Mo Ruochen opposed it.

Because the people hidden by Prince Zhennan were all generals of the previous dynasty who had a blood feud with Dali, it was impossible to persuade them to surrender.

Since they have always been loyal to the previous dynasty, let them be buried there and follow the emperor of the previous dynasty in the underworld.

After listening to Mo Ruochen's advice, Emperor Xuanwen no longer considered recruiting them. He just waited for the right time and let Xiao Jingchen send them off.
