That morning, Murong Mingyue returned to the Longguo Palace, and the time she had left here added up to less than twenty days, but I don't know why, after coming back, she had a feeling that she had been gone for a long, long time.

After seeing her long-lost father and mother, Murong Mingyue didn't know why tears flowed, and Empress Yuzhen cried even more when she saw that Murong Mingyue had finally returned. Murong Kuo didn't cry like the two of them, but he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After talking about the parting feelings for a while, Murong Kuo ordered someone to set up a feast to wash the dust for Murong Mingyue. Murong Mingyue's other siblings and several other uncles all attended to celebrate Murong Mingyue's safe return. In order not to spoil everyone's interest, everyone tacitly did not mention the name Murong Changfeng.

When the banquet dispersed, Murong Kuo left Murong Mingyue alone and asked her about her trip. Knowing that Murong Changfeng's revenge had been avenged, Murong Kuan's brows stretched a little.

"I heard that the Demon Sect has killed three Venerables and three Dharma Protectors, and the other Spiritual Envoy has not seen anyone alive or dead, and my father is so worried that he can't eat, for fear that something will happen to you. Murong Kuo said: "Fortunately, the people of Lingyun Mountain in Rui Country are quite reasonable, and they didn't embarrass you." ”

"Well, my third and fourth uncles are also very good over there. Murong Mingyue said: "But my third uncle is quite worried, worried that you can't forgive him." Father, my brother's death happened in a dangerous place like the battlefield, and I can't blame the third uncle too much for this. I have seen with my own eyes what a battlefield is this time, and when the battle starts there, many of our people turn from living to corpses every day, and there are too many to count. The third uncle was taking care of such a big stall in the camp, and he was cautious enough about my brother's arrangements at that time, my brother had such a thing, it was not what he wanted or expected, so you don't blame the third uncle. ”

"Well, my father has already thought about this matter, especially when I saw you return safely, my father felt that God was ...... to me Hey, don't talk about it, you can rest well, you won't be allowed to run around like that again, you know?"

"Hmm. Murong Mingyue agreed softly, and her heart was in a mess. She originally wanted to tell Murong Kuo as soon as she came back, saying that she was going to marry Rui Guo far away, but seeing today's situation, she didn't know how to speak.

"Forget it, stay for a few days and wait until everyone's mood is stable. She lay on her large, comfortable bed and thought silently.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Mo Xiao returned to Shangpinxiang Restaurant. The restaurant had just sent off the noon guests, and a group of chefs were gathering together to chat and brag in a rare leisurely manner, when they suddenly saw Mo Xiao coming back, they were all a little surprised.

"Why are you the only one who came back, what about your sister?" Mo Yu originally thought that Mo Min was hiding and joking with herself, but she couldn't find Mo Min when she waited left and right, and then realized that Mo Min might really not come back.

"My second brother was a little injured, and my third sister was there to take care of him. In addition, we went to help the war as martial arts people, and now the battle is not over, and it is not easy for her to leave. Mo said with a smile.

"Then what's ......" Mo Yu originally wanted to say why you came back, she didn't come back, but after thinking about it, she felt that this sentence was a bit hurtful, so she stopped talking. In Mo Yu's heart, she hoped that it would be Mo Min who would come back, and Mo Xiao would stay there, because many things in the restaurant would indeed be a little inseparable from Mo Min. She paused and asked, "What about General Chen, he's not injured, is he?"

"She's very good, a lot of martial arts people are over there to protect her, don't worry!" Mo Xiao said.

"That's good. Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, that morning saw off Chen Ruoping and Mo Xiao Mo Min, Mo Yu's heart was very nervous, very worried about Chen Ruoping's safety, and now when she heard that Chen Ruoping was fine, a stone fell to the ground in her heart.

The other guys and chefs saw that the proprietress had finished asking, and they asked about the situation on the battlefield, they usually heard the guests talking, talking about how cruel the war was, how heavy the casualties were, and how fierce the enemy was, but there was no way to distinguish between the true and the false in the clouds, and now Mo Xiao had just returned from the border pass, and he had first-hand information about the war, so he must have to ask carefully.

"The army of the Long Kingdom is indeed very powerful, their equestrian skills are superb and the archery is accurate, they are fierce and tenacious and cunning in battle, it is indeed a headache and an awe-inspiring army, and it is not a fluke that the Long Kingdom can become the great enemy of our Rui Kingdom for hundreds of years. Mo smiled and sighed: "But our army is also good, this time many of our Rui's central army are new recruits, they lack battlefield experience, and the formation is not proficient, but the heart of protecting the family and defending the country is sincere." In the face of the murderous enemy, they did not back down, and used their blood and lives to protect the Rui Kingdom behind them, and many people left their lives in that place for the first time they went to the battlefield, they... It's all good!"

Everyone sighed when they heard it, and many people cried on the spot, and they didn't know whether they were moved or sad.

Mo Yu thought for a while with teary eyes, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Xiao, "You... Why did you start talking all of a sudden?"

She only now reacted.

The others were also stunned for a moment, and looked at Mo Xiao together.

"I'm not dumb, of course I can speak. Mo Xiaoyun smiled lightly, his smile was no longer as sad as before, no longer ugly than crying like before, but became calm, very transparent and comfortable.

"You went to the border this time, and the change is really big. Mo Yu felt that Mo Xiao not only spoke, but also changed a lot of feelings, but he couldn't say what it was.

"Yes, if you go out for a walk more, your mindset will naturally change. Mo Xiao nodded and said, "Miss Mo, I have something to tell you when I come back this time, my third sister... She may not come back for a long time, and even if she comes back in the future, it is unlikely that she will return to the restaurant to do things, so you should be prepared for this and find a suitable person to replace her as soon as possible. ”

"What, isn't she staying here well?" Mo Yu was surprised, feeling that she was usually very good to Mo Min, Mo Min was also happy to stay here, why didn't she go back to the restaurant all of a sudden.

"No, it's my second brother who doesn't want her to continue working in the restaurant, because he thinks it's too hard. Mo smiled and said: "But you don't care, even if my third sister doesn't go back to the restaurant, she is also friends with you, and she will often come to see you in the future." ”

"I heard that your second brother has made great contributions and served as the leader of the Central Army, and the imperial court has also given him a lot of rewards, is this news true?" Mo Yu thought for a while and asked. If it was because of this, it would be difficult for her to keep Mo Min in the restaurant, and a sister from the central military management department was serving dishes in the restaurant, this kind of thing really can't be said.

"The news is true, but my second brother didn't suddenly let my third sister not go back to the restaurant because of this. Mo Xiao shook his head, "Even if he is a Bai Dingqun, he doesn't want his sister to work hard, you may not be able to understand this mood." ”

"I can more or less understand. Mo Yu sighed, thinking that Mo Min still had two elder brothers who loved him, but his relatives were all gone, and his heart was sad. She thought for a moment and asked, "What about you, what are your plans?"

"Now that I'm back, I naturally plan to stay in the restaurant. Mo smiled and said, "Of course, if you have found a suitable person to replace me, I can also return to the Giant Spirit Pass immediately, and I can stay and go." ”

"Then you stay, after you are gone, the kitchen is busy every day, and it is said that many things will be highlighted at once you leave. Now that you're back, it's time to save a lot of worry in the back kitchen. Mo Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, then I'll stay. Mo Xiao nodded.

......

Mo Xiao was in the capital of Ruiguo, Murong Mingyue was in the palace of Longguo, their days were spent peacefully and peacefully, thousands of miles away from the Giant Spirit Pass, Mo Cong's thoughts had begun to erode his mind. Feelings of sadness, loss, emptiness and so on came one after another, firmly occupying all his emotions in the dead of night. When Murong Mingyue didn't leave, Mo Cong thought that he wouldn't be too sad, but after Murong Mingyue left for a few days, Mo Cong's sadness began to get worse day by day.

He was better during the day, either training soldiers and horses, or going out of the city to fight, or drinking and bragging about the battle formation with Chen Ruoping, Xu Hu, Lei Bao and others, anyway, he found a lot of things for himself to do, but at night, especially when everything was silent in the middle of the night, the mood of longing began to surge, making him almost go crazy when he practiced. Fortunately, Mo Min was by Mo Cong's side at night, and as soon as he heard that Mo Cong's breathing was uneven, he quickly asked him to stop, chatting and talking to make him happy.

The days passed like this, and the Flying Dragon Battalion became more and more prosperous under the leadership of Mo Cong, not only far ahead of other new battalions in terms of performance, but also not worse than veteran battalions such as the Pioneer Battalion, the Tiger Battalion, and the Leopard Battalion. The overall situation of the Juling Pass battlefield has gradually turned into a stalemate stage, the number of times the cavalry of the Rui Kingdom has taken the initiative to attack has gradually increased, and the rhythm of the siege of the Longguo army has not stopped, the two sides are like two giants, you punch me, I kick you a leg, the vast battlefield is staggered, the military commanders of both sides are familiar with the opponent every day, pondering the opponent, calculating the opponent, and always ready for the opponent to show a flaw and insert two knives. Murong Lie is getting better and better, Murong Duo is becoming more and more stable, Chen Ruoping is also changing according to the changes of his opponents, and the recruits of the Rui Kingdom are also transforming and maturing in the daily war. The battle between the two sides was fierce, but the casualties were not as heavy as at the beginning.

The two armies held each other until the beginning of May, and as spring gradually fell, the glaciers in the northern steppes thawed and rain fell, and the transportation of grain and grass began to appear in the Long army. The Xianbei people are not good at protracted warfare, they have always come and gone like the wind, as soon as they come up, they will be as fast as a tide, and once they lose, they will quickly retreat, but after the founding of the Long Kingdom, they have learned a lot of things from the Rui Kingdom by fighting against the Rui Kingdom for hundreds of years, and the Giant Spirit Pass is difficult to overcome, and the Long Kingdom relies on the previous set of blitzkrieg tactics that will not work at all, so it gradually began to learn protracted warfare like the Rui Kingdom, began to learn logistics supplies, hoarded grain and grass in peacetime, and transported to the front line during the war. However, after all, the climate and terrain on the grassland could not support the Longguo to fight for too long, and the war has been fought until now, and the Longguo army has gradually appeared to be weak.

On the second day of the fifth month of the Rui Kingdom calendar, Murong Mingyue was talking in the yurt with Empress Yuzhen, and vaguely heard that Murong Kuo was discussing the withdrawal of the army with several of her uncles and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, she had never cared about these before, but this time she was shocked when she heard it, and suddenly realized that she had been back for two months, and many things had to be said, otherwise as soon as the Long Kingdom withdrew, Mo Cong would also return to the Rui Kingdom, and when the Rui Kingdom was so big, even if she knew how to search for souls, it would add a lot of unnecessary difficulties to find Mo Cong.

That night, Murong Mingyue took advantage of the time to eat with Murong Kuo and Empress Yuzhen.

"Father, mother, daughter wants to tell you a very important thing. She poured Murong Kuo a glass of wine and said.

"Father is also about to tell you something very important. Murong Kuo took a sip of the wine glass and said, "Although my father is busy with state affairs, he has not left behind the events of your life. Now that it's spring, I've discussed it with a few of your uncles, and I've also discussed it with your mother, and I'm going to organize a large-scale spring hunt to choose a good husband for you. It's just that many of the warriors of our Long Kingdom are fighting at the Giant Spirit Pass, so the father thinks that it is better to wait for them to come back before it is officially carried out, so as not to cause many people to say that the father is biased, and specially take advantage of their absence to choose Lang Jun for you. You are the well-known pearl of the grassland, the flower of Xianbei, there are too many people who pursue you, and my father also has a headache, this time the spring hunt father will give you the right to choose, you choose by yourself, you can marry whoever you want, what do you think?"

"Father, I'm ......" Murong Mingyue blushed and said, "Do you really allow me to marry whoever I want?"

"Oh, my father thought you were saying you didn't want to marry again, as you did before. Murong Kuo was a little surprised.

"Yue'er, say so... Do you have someone in mind?" Empress Yuzhen was also a little surprised, and looked at Murong Mingyue with an inquiring gaze.

"Well, my daughter was about to tell you about it. Murong Mingyue blushed and nodded, her heart beating fast. She poured another glass of wine for Murong Kuo, settled her mind, and plucked up the courage to say: "My daughter went to Juling Pass this time to marry a Rui countryman, I want to marry him!"

"What?!" Murong Kuo's heart was shocked, and the wine glass he picked up fell on the table with a thud. "Thousands of warriors of the Avail of Bandung Kingdom, you can't look down on that one, you... Now you say that you want to marry a Rui countryman, do you want to be angry with me?" Murong Kuo's expression instantly became stern, he would never allow this matter. Even if he is an ordinary father, he can't accept the idea that his daughter wants to marry an enemy country, not to mention that he is still the emperor of Longguo.

"Yue'er, you... Are you really going to leave your father and mother?" Empress Yuzhen heard Murong Mingyue say this, shocked and reluctant.

"Father, mother, don't be angry, don't be anxious, listen to your daughter tell you slowly. Murong Mingyue expected this to be the case, sighed, and slowly recounted the words she had thought out in advance.

Speaking of Qi Lixie's attempt to rape himself with illusion, Murong Mingyue couldn't cry, Empress Yuzhen wept, and Murong Kuo clenched his fists and frowned, and a deep Sichuan character was twisted between his eyebrows.
