Chapter Ninety-Five: Southbound
95 southbound
The drums that gradually sounded on the battlefield broke the silence that belonged to this sweet couple. Murda stood up and pulled Mo Han up. Mo Han didn't speak, just looked at Moda with his eyes, and there seemed to be something to say to Moda in his flickering eyes. Murda took Mo Han's hand and said to her steadily
"Don't worry, I only have you in my heart. Either way, it's just you. Leave all the troublesome things to me, you just have to trust me. β
Mo Han didn't reply, because Mo Da had already said what she wanted to express, and this tacit understanding made her heart warm. She silently followed Meda back to Maudun Horse, only then did she notice the surprised expressions of everyone around her. Showing affection in public like this really made Mo Han embarrassed.
She also understood why everyone was so surprised, because almost everyone thought that Moda and Liu An were a couple, not to mention that the two of them had already been given marriage.
Mo Han didn't dare to look up again, because she was really worried about seeing Liu An's resentful eyes. However, Mo Da was very generous, helped Mo Han on his sloppy back, and then turned to say to everyone
"What are you doing in a daze? Let's go. Go back and discuss the next step. Big brother, I'll take my leave first. Mo Han was frightened yesterday and tied up all day, and she needs to recuperate, so I will send her back first. β
Mao Dun also nodded stunnedly, and Murda's series of actions made him unable to even speak. As the eldest brother and the big Shan Yu, he was both surprised and embarrassed. Or Mo Liang to break the siege
"Da Danyu, I see that the people of the Yue clan have gone far. We do need to put together a plan for the next step. Let's go back first. β
Mo Liang's interruption made Mao Dun slow down.
"That is, the armies will return to their garrisons, and we will come to my big tent in the evening to discuss matters."
The army of more than 100,000 Huns followed this like-minded couple back to the camp.
When they arrived at the camp, everyone sat neatly in the big tent and waited for the discussion. It's just that the atmosphere is weird, and it is estimated that it was all caused by Moda and Mo Han's actions just now. It's just that everyone is embarrassed to talk about it, and there are many people who still look at Liu An with sympathetic eyes. This Queen Donghu and Elder Green Wolf have just been married, and now that a royal princess has been killed halfway, how should the three of them get round?
"Everyone! Big order is here! β
Everyone no longer thought about the elusive feelings of these three people, and got up to greet Da Shan Yu. As soon as Mao Dun came in, he asked his entourage to open a topographic map of the Western Regions, pointed to the map and said to everyone
"Let's talk about it, everybody. How do we get there now? β
Iled and other new generals suggested taking advantage of the situation to attack the Yue Clan, while the older generals preferred to rest and recuperate. The stalemate between the two sides makes some sense. The attacking side thought that the Yue's spirit was now exhausted, and they hurriedly pursued the victory while they did not slow down. The cultivation faction felt that the Yue clan had become a vassal of the Xiongnu, and it was not appropriate to use the army again in treachery. Mao Dun couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to ask Mo Liang and Mo Xin for advice.
Mo Xin walked around the map a few times, and did not agree to the western expedition or be inclined to cultivation, but proposed another idea - the southern expedition.
"Now the Yue Clan is no longer a threat to us for a while, not only is the morale low, but the national prestige is gone. If we take advantage of the victory to pursue, it will indeed damage the faith of the Xiongnu. But if we fight south at this time, we can attack with all our troops without the containment of the Yue Clan. With the current strength of the Huns, it is easy to destroy Lou Fu and Aries. β
Mo Liang also stood up to agree with Mo Xin's statement, she added
Sun Tzu said: A hundred battles are won, and the good is not good; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. The Xiongnu soldiers are in full swing, and they can first overwhelm Lou Fu and the Aries Kingdom with their might. β
Moda automatically asked
"Da Danyu, let the younger brother take a trip to Lou Fu Country and Aries Country. Let's see if we can bring these two small nations into submission. If we could, wouldn't we have two more helpers? After convincing the two countries, you will send troops to the west to conquer the Yue Clan, and a war can determine the hegemony of the grassland. β
Maudon was very pleased with this arrangement. Moda has always been reliable, and he is very relieved to have him.
"Murda, it's just that these two countries don't have much contact with the Xiongnu, how can you convince them? Do you want me to send some soldiers and horses with you? β
Murda smiled
"Big brother, won't it be a challenge for you to let the soldiers and horses follow me? Since it is said to surrender, then don't stir up the people. I'm just going to ask you a few people. β
Everyone in the audience admired Murda's courage, and Mao Dun nodded and said
"Say it. I will send you all the people you want. β
Murda thought about it for a moment, one by one
"Mo Dian. The fat man's rice is well cooked, and we can also research some new dishes on the way. Ink horizontal. An invincible shooter who is definitely a good hand in case of emergency. Ink flute. The little girl is smart and clever, and there is joy with her. Ink is different. It's definitely going to take something clever to go along the way. Pure care. He's around, and we're all in for life. Besides, everyone is a senior brother of Shouyang Mountain, and they are also very happy together. And also...... Mohan. She'll drop things, and she'll definitely come in handy. β
The people who were ordered were very happy, but Liu An looked at Moda and the happy Mo Han leisurely, and was very unhappy in his heart. Murda continued
"It's inconvenient for the fourth brother Moxin to lead the army now, so I won't call the fourth brother to go. Fourth brother, don't mind! β
Moxin spread his hands
"I'm not as idle as you. I really hope to live an unrestrained life in Shouyang Mountain again. β
Murda looked at Yanagi and Mo Liang again
"Queen Liu'an needs to lead the Donghu army, and I don't think it's convenient to go. Mo Liang is the big brother's brain, and I can only rest assured that you are by my brother's side. Different ladies are not physically convenient, so don't go together. We won't be delaying too long, go and come back quickly. β
Seeing that Moda had already selected the men and distributed them a lot of horses, provisions, and money, Moda and his party said goodbye to Da Dan and headed south the next day.
It's been more than a year since he entered the steppe desert, and in addition to participating in endless wars, Meda is experiencing endless coups d'Γ©tat. Killing, intrigue, and adventure have become the main themes of his days, and although he has gained a lot of experience and glory, it is much paler than the relaxed mood he has now.
Besides, he and Mo Han have already made up their minds with each other, and that is more important than anything else. What's more, with her by her side all the way to the south this time, I feel that the road ahead must be full of fantasy and excitement.
A group of seven people galloped across the endless prairie, and this emptiness gave them endless imagination. It makes people completely forget the concept of time, as if this grassland can never be run and tread.
And this boundless grassland has also become a paradise for these seven people. Every day, Mo Dian searched for various animals and plants to develop his delicacies, and the endless prey on the grassland happened to be an excellent hunting ground for Mo Heng to practice archery.
The charm technique that Mo Di learned in Shouyang Mountain was also completely abandoned, and he accompanied Mo Heng to run around in the field every day, which also fulfilled the beauty and unrestrained character of the little girl's natural carving.
Chun Yuyi has long been obsessed with the inexhaustible vegetation of the grassland, and is busy recording and trying this rare herb every day.
He has always believed that talent is the god of creation, and that the exquisite skills and unique ingenuity of skilled craftsmen can create the most exquisite and sophisticated objects in the world. And getting along with the prairie day and night made him slowly realize that nature is the real magic workmanship. Every living thing is designed just right, and every design is in line with nature. Mo Wei began to be obsessed with exploring the mysteries of nature, and gradually let go of the life of hollowing out and creating objects.
And returning to the natural state has made him much easier. I used to think about creating an idea every day, and then use my own craft to realize that idea. Those days and nights of painstaking meditation made Mo Wei miserable. Now, all he needs to do is explore and feel nature, because inspiration is between heaven and earth, and this is the so-called unity of heaven and man. In the past, Mo Wei only thought about conquering nature with tools, but now he is thinking about returning to nature.
Mo Daquan saw the different changes of ink, and he found that the different faces of Mo were changing. In the past, he frowned, and at first glance he was a stubborn and stubborn person. Now his brow is furrowed, and he looks brisk and at ease. Murda thought that this prairie was really magical, how could such a stubborn KitKat maniac become so easy-going and pure.
Of course, the happiest are Moda and Mohan. These two people stick together like gummy candy every day. In addition to not sleeping in a tent, we watch the sunrise together, watch the sunset together, ride horses together, and chat quietly together. It seems that the two of them have endless topics to talk about all the time. Mo Da originally thought that Mo Han was a quiet and calm girl, but when Lu Dao walked into her heart, she found that this girl was also a small chatter. Even Mo Han himself felt strange, obviously he didn't have so many words, how could he be so willing to share in front of Mo Da? In fact, Mo Han is only so defenseless for people who can enter his heart. It's just that there are too few such people, and my best friend Jiang Niang is counted as one, and in addition to that, it is Moda.
Strange to say, Murda felt that he had a lot more to say, and he wanted to tell Mo Han all his stories in detail. As for Mo Han, I can't wait to tell Mo Da day by day from the first day of my memory. And Murda didn't get bored of listening, and from time to time he interjected a few sentences and made a lot of comments.
What everyone is most afraid of is waiting for Mo Da and Mo Han to eat, and these two people can't stop chatting every time. Originally, the meal cooked by Mo Dian was steaming, but in order to wait for the two of them to finish talking, it often turned into a cold meal. Later, everyone simply ignored the two of them, and started eating when they had the meal. However, Mo Da and Mo Han don't care, just two people just grab some game and barbecue to eat, which is also interesting.
However, Murda's craftsmanship is not very good, and it is either too salty or too mushy every time. But in Mo Han's eyes, these have all become the world's delicacies. When it is burnt, peel the skin and eat the tender meat inside, and when it is salty, add some wild vegetables as a meat and vegetable pairing. The other five had never seen such a glue-like pair, and they had not even heard half a word of argument.
Time flies so fast, and five days have passed in a flash. On the evening of the fifth day of the southward journey, Mo Han called Murda out of the tent, and the two of them paced to a small river, where they sat down and chatted as usual.
"Murda, do you think the stars in the sky can really reflect the good fortune and evil in the world?"
Mo Da didn't know why Mo Han asked like this, and after thinking about it, he replied
"yes. Heaven and man are one. Everything in the world changes with our state of mind, which is the state of mind that changes with our heart. So, of course, the stars reflect our hearts. It's just that I don't know astronomy, so I can't see the mystery in it. β
Mo Han didn't look at Murda, just focused on looking at the dazzling Milky Way in the sky. The night sky of the grassland is also vast and quiet, the stars can be seen very clearly on a sunny day, and the whole Milky Way is reflected in the river, so that the obsessive Mo Han can't distinguish between heaven and earth.
"If only I could unravel the secret of the starry sky. I really envy those who can see through the stars through the past and present lives. β
Moda looked at the thoughtful Mo Han and felt that this smart girl was really cute, and even the light in her eyes when she spoke was so moving. He looked at Mo Han in front of him blankly, the little girl dragging her chin and looking at the starry sky, against the background of the moonlight reflected on the river surface, it looked particularly haunting.
