In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Mo Jinyi said this not from the perspective of an emperor, but from the role of a benevolent father.

Just a simple sentence, but it carries a father's sincere blessing.

"Brother Crown Prince, Brother Three, this is the amulet that Changle got for you from the temple. You must take it with you."

With tears in her eyes, Changle handed over the thing in her hand.

Mo Sheng looked at the Crown Prince and the Third Prince with a serious tone.

"Brother Crown Prince, Brother Three, Sheng'er will be waiting for you to come back. You must come back safely."

After seeing off the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, they went to the city wall to see off Beiyun's soldiers.

At this time, they were all very depressed and thought that this battle would last a long time.

Unexpectedly, only two months later, good news came from the border that various countries demanded surrender and peace.

So fast

Mo Sheng was a little surprised. She knew that their current military strength was not something that a country that was still in the era of cold weapons could resist.

But unexpectedly, these people surrendered before they could even hold on for a month.

You have to know that they still have one month left on the journey out of the two months.

[This is good, it will be quicker and won’t cost a lot of money and manpower, and it can minimize Beiyun’s losses.]

Mo Jinyi also took a breath of excitement when he heard this.

In the past, wars always lasted for one or two years, wasted people's money and labor, and finally drained the country's strength.

This time they calculated for a long time and thought that although Beiyun’s treasury would not be empty due to the war like in the past, there would not be much left.

I didn't expect that this time it exceeded their budget so much.

Not to mention them, even the Third Prince and the Crown Prince who were far away at the border did not expect it to be so easy.

After a few bombs, the enemy was caught off guard and died in large numbers. It was only later that their general reacted.

If they quickly retreated to the pass, they could also directly use explosives to break down the city wall.

First of all, fighting is so effortless.

The generals were in great spirits.

If they hadn't been afraid that they would advance too quickly and that subsequent war preparations would not be able to keep up, and if other countries hadn't known the times and surrendered in a timely manner.

They really want to attack the capitals of various countries directly and fulfill Your Majesty's ambition to unify the world.

But now the result is not bad. All countries will respect Beiyun when seeking peace.

It depends on how the envoys of various countries talk. If the talks fail, the worst that can happen is that they fight again.

This time, the countries were not so lucky. They were directly escorted to the capital by Beiyun’s army returning home.

By the time the soldiers returned to their homeland, another two months had passed.

Because the envoys were unwilling to ask for peace so quickly, they dragged their feet and made all kinds of trouble on the way.

This resulted in a slow progress in the army's overall return to the city.

........................

The people who had heard that the Beiyun army was returning to the capital had already been waiting on the streets when the army arrived in the suburbs of the capital.

Each of them looked towards the city gate with excitement, hoping to see the heroic army returning victoriously.

"This is the fastest battle we've ever fought in Beiyun."

"I heard from my relatives at the border that those bastards from the neighboring country are really inhumane. They launched a sneak attack at night. Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly and drove them out."

"That's still the lightest thing. I heard they want to cut off our food supply."

"Hey, why did I hear that Beiyun was able to win the battle this time because of some new type of weapon?"

As soon as this man finished speaking, the people around him suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him with inquiring eyes.

Why do this person's words sound so weird, as if he is trying to get words out of people like them.

However, they are just ordinary people, what secrets of Beiyun can they know?

They don't know anything.

The smart man turned his head and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"What are you talking about? What new type of weapon? How come we don't know about it? Hasn't the army always been fighting with real swords and guns?"

As soon as he said this, the others also reacted. They looked around at the crowded pedestrians on the street with confused faces, and followed this man's words.

"Yes, if this is true, there is no reason why those of us living near the capital wouldn't know about it, right?"

"I don't know where you heard these rumors, brother."

"No, someone told me that Beiyun was able to win this battle because of some new type of weapon. Otherwise, Beiyun would not have the strength to resist the joint attack of the four countries."

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

“………………”I’m afraid there’s something wrong with this person.

"What do you think we can get from this negotiation?"

Someone immediately changed the subject and started talking about something else.

"This matter is not something that ordinary people like us can know, but at least the higher-ups will not treat us unfairly."

In recent years, people living in Beiyun have clearly felt that their lives have improved.

The people support the court that can provide them with enough food.

Naturally, they would not resist the court's decision.

The man who was trying to get the words out saw that the people all looked confused and didn't respond to him, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

These people are really extremely ignorant.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information from the crowd, he wanted to turn around and leave the crowd to get information somewhere else.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't get information about Beiyun today.

Unfortunately, he wanted to leave but couldn't. The people of the capital were constantly taught by Mo Jinyi how to identify spies.

And some of the spies' rhetoric.

Even before the spy finished speaking, the people had surrounded him, believing that they would rather kill the innocent than let him go.

Now that he wants to leave, there is no possibility at all.

They tied the man up in no time and prepared to send him to the authorities.

"Alas, the government office is still a little far from here. If we send him there, he will be late for the army to enter the city."

"Yeah, this guy is really a troublemaker."

"But if we don't send him to the government office immediately, what if he runs away?"

Everyone was talking about it, but no one was willing to move and send people to the government office.

Finally, someone came up with a solution.

He saw that some vegetable farmers' baskets were already empty, so he suggested tying the person up tightly and covering him in the basket, and then having someone sit on him so that he would not be able to escape.

After they have watched the army enter the city, they will send people to the government office.

………………

In Huaqing Palace.

Because of the army's return, the Imperial College was closed, and Mo Sheng finally had a rest without having to go to class.

He was still sleeping soundly in bed.

Yin Zhu, the maid chosen for her by Concubine Rong, walked in anxiously and saw Mo Sheng was still sleeping.

He took a deep breath and handed the things in his hand to the other palace servants following behind him.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... is up..."

Mo Sheng became impatient with her noise and turned over to continue sleeping.

Yin Zhu pursed her lips. It was really a big task to wake Princess Zhaoyang up.

Moreover, Yin Zhu discovered that the older Princess Zhaoyang got, the more she liked to stay in bed.

I had to keep building myself up in my mind and continue to call on people.

You must know that today is the grand day when the Beiyun soldiers return victoriously, and Your Highness the Princess cannot be late.
