Chapter 779: War, Peace?
"Giggle......" Peony suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "Ning Gongzi, the Dusk Snow Sword Immortal is beautiful, but it's a pity that she doesn't know what to be gentle and considerate, virtuous and virtuous, if you are wronged in Guiyue Palace, you can also come to me." ”
Peony laughed for fear of the world, and her body shook to the side to dodge. And at this moment, a sword light whistled by, almost rubbing the sleeve of the peony.
"Peony, stay away from my husband in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the love of the past. ”
"Giggle...... Don't be angry, people are just talking casually......" Peony said, the smile on her face gradually retracted, and her eyes slowly became sharper. Ning Yue couldn't understand the gaze that met Qianduxue's eyes, but he knew that Qianduxue and Peony both understood.
"It's over, and we should go back. Sons of the steppe, let's go back to the steppe—"
"Since the grassland Hulu is here, but now you want to slap your ass and leave?" Xiao Yunchang, the main general above Shen Cheng, suddenly shouted with all his might, "Your Majesty, the prince of Lantian County, can you let them go...... General Gongziyu and General Li Qifeng, they all died on the battlefield. Your Majesty, you want to avenge the general—"
Xiao Yunchang knelt down in front of Mo Wuxian with a thud, and as Xiao Yunchang knelt down, the 100,000 forbidden troops within Shen Cheng also knelt on the ground, "Please Emperor, the King of Lantian County will avenge the general-"
With the request of the soldiers of the forbidden army, the situation between the grassland and the Great Zhou instantly became tense. Ning Yue in the distance looked back at the steppe wolf rider who had condensed and risen again, and the grassland Tianzun who stood up silently and rippled with boundless momentum. On his forehead, a drop of cold sweat suddenly slowly dripped down.
"This ...... It's embarrassing......"
Mo Wuxian's face had turned iron blue standing on the city wall, he, like Ning Yue, didn't want to start a war at this time. Even, there is a more important thing to do in Mo Wuji's heart. is to use his limited time to pave the way for Mo Tianya's ascendancy.
However, the petition of the Shencheng Forbidden Army is also understandable. The steppes struck suddenly, and a war was waged. Although it did not have time to enter the Central Plains, although it did not cause harm to the Central Plains Kyushu, it was a heart-wrenching injury to the army of the Great Zhou.
A Jade Pillar general was killed in battle, and 150,000 Great Zhou soldiers were killed. These losses, let alone ten years, may be difficult to recover for twenty years. But can war really free the dead? Mo Wuxian shook his head, the only value of war is destruction. Whether it is to the grassland or to the Central Plains, it is harmful.
Countless thoughts poured out of Mo Wuxian's heart, but he couldn't say anything about the scolding. He can't let the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forget their lives chill, and he can't let so many soldiers who sacrificed their lives die in vain.
Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of Mo Wuxian's eyes, and a snow-white voice appeared in front of Mo Wuxian like a ghost. Peony looked at Mo Wuxian silently, without speaking, not even with an expression on his face.
However, Ning Yue, who saw this scene, was in a state of death. The figure flashed, and before he had time to think, the person had turned into a streamer and rushed towards Mo Wuxian, "Peony, don't-"
But fortunately, Peony doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move. Otherwise, not to mention that before Ning Yue arrived, even when Ning Yue shouted, she could kill Mo Wuxian several times.
"Zhou Tianzi, do you still want to fight this battle?" Peony stared at Mo Wuxian silently, and turned her face to look at Xiao Yunchang and a group of forbidden army soldiers who hurriedly rushed forward to protect Mo Wuxian behind him.
"The general of the Zhou Dynasty, as a general, you can lose, you can lose, you can make mistakes, but you can't see the situation in front of you clearly. Think you're going to win? Do you think we're leaving because you've won?
It's not that I look down on you, but ask your emperor, can you stop me if there are so many of you combined? I tell you, no! Even if all the masters of the Central Plains are here.
I retreated, not because I couldn't fight, but because I didn't want to. If it weren't for the fact that I had a friendship with your Lantian County King, you would still have lost this battle so far. You have died a Jade Pillar General and 150,000 soldiers? We have died a Khan in the grassland, and 500,000 elite wolf riders!
If you want to fight, our people of Immortal Heaven are willing to accompany you, if you want to fight, I can break Shen Cheng in half an instant, if you want to fight, my grassland people can set foot in Kyushu today, if you want to fight, I can immediately cut off your emperor's head. Do you still want to fight?"
was robbed of white by Peony domineeringly, and Xiao Yunchang's face turned pale. With blank eyes, he looked at Ning Yue, who was silent, and Mo Wuxian, whose face was darkened. In an instant, he seemed to understand, and understood why Emperor Fangcai, Ning Yue, and so many masters in Kyushu were watching from the side.
"Ahem-" Ning Yue coughed lightly, and raised her head lightly to look at Peony, "Peony, don't say so ugly." If we want to fight, our Central Plains Kyushu will definitely have an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, and the grassland dares to step on Kyushu, and I dare to guarantee that no grassland Hulu can leave the border of Kyushu alive.
We don't want to fight, it's not that we don't dare to fight. This war was originally a war provoked by people with good intentions, and this war should have been avoided. This battle, once we continue, will only lose both sides and allow the real conspirators to succeed.
Your Majesty, the Holy Maiden of the Prairie, since we have understood everything, why don't we sit down and have a good talk? If there are any contradictions, why should they be resolved on the battlefield if they can be resolved at the negotiating table? I sincerely invite the two of you to discuss to resolve the contradictions and disputes between the Prairie and my Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
Ning Yue's words immediately eased the atmosphere on both sides, Mo Wuxian slowly stepped out of the crowd, his eyes faintly swept over the group of forbidden army soldiers around him, "In the battle of Sheep's Head Fort, I lost 150,000 heroic soldiers, and I also lost my most relied on confidant Gongzi Yu.
Doesn't my heart hurt? Don't I want my soldiers to rest in peace under the Nine Springs? I still vividly remember the oath the Daredevils made during the final battle.
With my blood, forge the soul of my army. The night demon army died a heroic death, the 100,000 forbidden army died a heroic death, and my Jade Pillar Admiral Gongzi Yu died a heroic death. But what is the point of continuing the war? Is it to add more casualties, to have more soldiers die on the battlefield, to let more children lose their fathers, to let more women lose their husbands, and to let more elderly people lose their children?
The war must be launched only if greater benefits can be obtained. The army of our Great Zhou Dynasty fought for the country and for the protection of Kyushu, but it must not fight for righteousness and hatred. Do you understand these words?"
"Minister...... Minister...... The minister understood, and the minister obeyed the order-" Finally, Xiao Yunchang silently bowed down in the change of his face and knelt down in front of Mo Wuxian silently.
"The ministers understand, the ministers must obey the emperor's teachings, and the ministers are willing to obey the emperor's will——"
The sound was surging, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the unison answers of the soldiers of the forbidden army. It was in the void that all the Manchu civil and military forces on the front line looked at through the god capture token, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Mo Wuxian beckoned gently, and the god-catching token in the sky turned into a streamer and flew back into Mo Wuji's hand. Mo Wuxian gently opened his arms, his wide robe waving in the wind, "Your Highness the Holy Maiden of the Prairie, now that the war is over, I can agree to stop this meaningless war." However, I still hope to sign an armistice with you, and the friendship between the two countries will be based on an alliance. ”
Peony's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Ning Yue silently, and finally nodded slowly, "Okay-"
Saying that, Peony slowly turned around, "Grassland people, withdraw from the territory of Great Zhou and wait for my news." The Immortal Heavenly Palace is stationed here, and it must not conflict with the Great Zhou. ”
"Holy Maiden, please—"
"Zhou Tianzi, please!"
Under Xiao Yunchang's arrangement, Mo Wuxian Peony and Ning Yue came to Shen Cheng's military affairs command post. Originally, Ning Yue wanted to let Qianyue come in with her, but Qianduxue refused on the grounds that women did not interfere in men's affairs, and instead ran to the side of the Water Moon Palace Lord to accompany the Water Moon Palace Master.
The Water Moon Palace Lord who was holding Mo Junxie's corpse said a lot of words, and the muttering was only audible to herself. And Qianduxue, who didn't know how to comfort people, just stood silently by the side of the Lord of the Water Moon Palace.
The three of them sat on both sides, and Mo Wuxian had time to take a good look at Ning Yue, from head to toe, almost not letting go of any detail. Being stared at like this by Mo Wuxian, Ning Yue felt uncomfortable. Silently raised his head and showed a puzzled smile.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the minister, why do you look at the minister like this?" Ning Yue smiled awkwardly, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"I heard Prairie Tianzun say that you are dead, and I thought that Prairie Tianzun would not lie and did not disdain to lie, but now it seems that I have been deceived by them. It's good that you're okay, it's better that you're okay than anything else. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed a life of nine deaths, if it wasn't for the peony that rescued me in the end, maybe I would really die. Ning Yue's face also showed a hint of fear.
"Okay, now that the dust has settled, I won't ask those irrelevant ones, you can first tell me what you think about this matter, you said before that war was intentionally provoked by others? Who is that person?"
"It's really not clear who that person is, the ins and outs of this matter have to start from thirteen years ago......" Ning Yue then gushed to Mo Wuxian about everything that had happened in the grassland in the past thirteen years, including the mysterious forces occupying the Immortal Heavenly Palace after the disappearance of the Holy Maiden.
Then how to collude with Allah Khan and provoke a full-scale war in the Central Plains and the steppe. For this reason, he did not hesitate to go into battle shirtless and participate in the war in an all-round way. It wasn't until after listening to Ning Yue's explanation that Mo Wuji's brows had condensed into a river.
"Ning Yue, after the Nine Heavens Xuannu and King Qilian left last time, I went to consult the King of the Backers. From the mouth of the backer king, I learned that in the war fifty years ago, there seemed to be a shadow of a mysterious force behind it.
And the mastermind behind the scenes seems to be Asgard. Now, combined with what you said about who was behind the scenes, it is easy for me to think of the group of people fifty years ago...... It's time to strike again. But what is their purpose?
What good will it do them to cause chaos in the world and the collapse of the imperial dynasty? If it is said that they are to steal the throne in order to dominate the world, then it is understandable. But the Immortal Palace is beyond the world and almost never intervenes in the red dust, but it is so keen to oppose my Great Zhou Dynasty? Could it be that when did our Great Zhou Dynasty offend the Immortal Palace?"
