In the darkness, the fuse glowed blue.

"Bang~~" After a burst of thick smoke, a huge stone ball flew out of the barrel quickly towards the enemy camp.

The Yuanlong Kingdom's soldiers who were sleeping were hit by a huge iron ball and started howling like wolves and ghosts.

Dongfeng and others who were lurking in the dark lit the bombs on the arrows, then drew their bows and shot arrows. Countless explosive arrows flew towards the enemy camp, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant, with screams heard one after another.

A raging fire broke out in Yuanlongguo's tent.

The raging flames danced in the night like a group of violent monsters, devouring everything around them.

An Muxi stood on the city wall, watching the countless firemen running around on the opposite side, without a trace of pity in his heart. On the day he returned to the abandoned city, they slaughtered the people in the abandoned city, raped girls, ate human flesh, and did things worse than animals. Now they are being retaliated, which is fair!!!

Murong Yue looked at the enemy camp opposite and felt equally cold-hearted. Killing civilians in her own fiefdom was like slapping herself in the face.

The four cannons at the foot of the city wall fired iron balls again.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang,"

The enemy camp cried out again and fled.

Seeing that the soldiers on the opposite side had almost run away, Murong Yue looked at the messenger.

"Drum roll!"

"Boom, boom ...

The city gates were opened again, and two thousand new recruits rushed towards the enemy camp, followed by dozens of carriages loaded with explosives.

Mu Xi glanced at the explosive pack on the car and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to bury explosives in the place where the hole was just dug?"

"Yes! I have collected all the sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal from the abandoned city, and put porcelain fragments and poison in the explosives."

"That's cruel enough." Mu Xi glanced at Murong Yue, who had a stern face, and found that his eyes were full of ruthlessness at this moment. He was so cold, like a cheetah ready to pounce, and he only needed an opportunity to kill everyone.

That night, the soldiers were like ants moving house, constantly carrying all kinds of supplies into the barracks. Everyone had never been as excited as they were today.

The day finally dawned.

The military camp in the abandoned city was filled with a large amount of Yuanlong Kingdom's food, herbs, tents and various daily necessities. The things they looted back far exceeded the supplies they had taken away.

A dozen or so new recruits pulled the stolen war horses into the city gate.

It was the first time for everyone to see so much food and herbs, and they were all ecstatic and felt a great sense of accomplishment. Especially General Helian Cheng and the veterans, they felt a sense of revenge.

An old soldier knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "We won, we finally won, Mingwen, did you hear that? The prince led everyone to avenge you, you can rest in peace in that world!"

Another veteran ran on the ground with his arms open, tears on his face.

There was also a large group of veterans who kowtowed to Murong Yue on the city wall, and everyone was expressing their joy in their own way.

Seeing this scene, Murong Yue and Mu Xi both had tears in their eyes.

Only at this moment did they realize how important a victorious battle was, as it could comfort the wounded hearts of the soldiers. They had once stepped into the gates of hell, and had also witnessed the life and death of their comrades. The killing and determination on the battlefield were not something that ordinary people could endure. They had been suppressed for too long, and needed this victory to wash it away.

Half an hour later,

After the soldiers came back after burying the explosives, Murong Yue pulled Mu Xi down the city wall.

Dong Feng bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready!"

"Ok!"

An Muxi glanced at the piles of supplies on the ground and the ecstatic soldiers.

"Your Highness, are we going to celebrate?" he asked in a probing tone.

"No, I have to go to the government office. We have an appointment today! Since I came to the abandoned city, I have been busy fighting and have not met the local officials. In this Great Xia country, the princes of the fiefdoms have political power, military power, financial power, and the power to appoint and dismiss personnel, so I have to meet with the local governors and others so that we can communicate in the future."

"Oh, Your Majesty, are you going to take Xi'er with you?" Mu Xi looked down at her soldier's uniform and said, "Should I change my clothes? Why do I feel that this outfit doesn't look good?"

"No need, this outfit is perfect!" Murong Yue pulled Mu Xi and continued walking forward.

A caravan was coming from the opposite direction, and the carriages were full of food and herbs. When Murong Yue saw the people on the horses clearly, she showed her joy and strode over, "Mo Li, you're finally back!" There was joy in her voice.

Mo Li and a dozen other people on horseback jumped off their horses at the same time, and they all knelt down to pay their respects.

"My Lord, my Princess, congratulations on your great victory last night!"

Everyone looked at Mu Xi. They had always known that their prince had married the eldest daughter of the An family as his princess, and their relationship was not very harmonious. But just now they saw the two holding hands, and their relationship seemed to be good.

An Muxi smiled sweetly in response, and pinched the corner of her clothes unconsciously with her fingers, feeling a little embarrassed. How could she not be wearing a beautiful skirt?

"Everyone, get up quickly. You've worked hard along the way." Murong Yue made a lifting gesture and looked at the long carriage behind her. Her heart was filled with joy.

Mo Li, Shang Dong, Jin Jiang, Yang Zeming and others stood up, but their eyes were still on Mu Xi. Everyone knew that a girl who could capture the heart of her own prince must be extraordinary. But the princess seemed to have nothing else except moist skin and lively eyes.

Mo Peilan approached Murong Yue and shyly knelt down, "Prince, Lan'er misses you so much!!!" Her clear and beautiful eyes were filled with admiration. She had liked the prince since she was a child, but her brother insisted that she was not worthy of him.

Murong Yue was stunned for a moment, and when she saw clearly that it was Mo Li's sister, "Well, Lan'er has grown into a big girl, get up quickly!" She made a lifting gesture with her big hand.

An Muxi was also stunned for a moment, and after taking a closer look, he discovered that Mo Peilan was wearing men's clothes, was much stronger than himself, and had a more average appearance, otherwise how could he not have realized at first glance that she was a woman.

Mo Li pulled his sister over and lowered his voice, "Pei Lan, don't talk nonsense. There are so many brothers here, you really want to embarrass your brother, right?"

Mo Peilan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said loudly, "Brother, what's wrong with Lan'er liking the prince? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Besides, how could the prince have only one woman, the princess?" Her voice was full of resentment. After she finished speaking, she walked towards Mu Xi and knelt on the ground.

"Princess, please accept Peilan. Lan'er is willing to be a maid and serve you and the prince every day. It would be enough for me to see the prince every day!!!"

An Muxi held her forehead and smiled, "But I don't lack maids. Meilan and Cuizhu are enough!" Although her tone was calm, it was a ruthless rejection. Does this mean she has another love rival?

"Princess, you can't be so selfish and monopolize the prince's favor! Besides, everyone in Kyoto says you are uneducated and unskilled. I don't believe that the prince really likes you!!!"

"Yes, I am selfish. What's wrong with wanting to monopolize the prince?" She bent down, met Mo Peilan's jealous eyes, and took out the auspicious dragon and phoenix jade pendant from her neck.

"Look, this is the prince's heirloom. The fact that it's hung here means that the prince likes me, a person who is uneducated and unskilled. The prince may not be attracted by your talent. Remember, my man cannot be shared with others!" She has been busy seeing patients and saving lives these days, so she is happy to talk nonsense from time to time.

Looking at the dragon pattern on the soft, smooth and delicate mutton-fat jade pendant, Mo Peilan widened her eyes and looked at Murong Yue in disbelief. She had always known that the prince had married a princess he didn't like, so why did he give her such a precious jade pendant?
