Chapter 356: The Princess of the Two Countries

Put down the wine bowl, the battalions of the imperial army went out to arrange the evacuation of soldiers and horses, and the Montenegrin army also came out of the pass, and a team of sergeants who drove the cart came to pack up the weapons and equipment, and pulled back one cart after another, and everyone was filled with the joy of a bumper harvest while driving the car, saying that every time they fought a war, they could capture a lot of things, and they had a good harvest three times after three battles.

It took three days and three nights for the weapons and equipment of the 400,000 elite men and horses of the imperial army to be moved back to the deep pass of Montenegro, but Mo Cong and the others did not wait for the progress of the transportation here, and directly followed the first batch of carrying troops into the pass in front. Some court generals have been very worried from the time they set off to the time they entered the pass, worried that their subordinates would encounter accidents after they put down their weapons, but Deng Yong and Xu Hu said that there was no need to worry about this, they knew Mo Cong's personality very well, Gao Lingfei and others were also old friends, and they would not do such a thing of going back on their word.

A group of people rode horses and talked into the pass, Mo Cong said that the pass is not good to eat, drink, live well, rather than live here, it is better to go to the Mofu on the shore of Heilong Lake with him for a few days, everyone agreed when they heard it, saying that Mo Cong must be the host when they came, and then the group did not stop at all and followed Mo Cong directly to Mofu on the shore of Heilong Lake.

They set out in the afternoon and stayed overnight in a barracks along the way, and finally arrived at the shore of Heilong Lake the next morning. Black Mountain Lake is a freshwater lake near the main peak of Black Dragon Mountain, everyone travels along the lakeside and looks at the scenery along the way, surrounded by black and swarthy mountains, the huge Black Dragon Lake is as clear and bright as a mirror, calm and waveless, the blue sky and the shadows of the mountains are reflected on the lake, it looks both magnificent and spectacular.

Soon arrived at Mo Mansion, Mo Cong instructed his subordinates to prepare a sumptuous luncheon immediately, and then took the group to a conference living room by the lake to chat and drink tea together. While everyone was talking, Hang Rui came in from outside and asked when a group of generals would be able to withdraw their troops, so that she could go back to the capital with Mo Cong smoothly. A group of generals bowed and saluted. He said that some of the geographical characteristics of Montenegrin Province, such as the length of the province from north to south and the narrowness of the east and west, said that the large army has been withdrawing one after another, and it is expected that all the troops will be able to withdraw from the eastern front of Montenegro Province in about 10 days.

"That's good. Hang Rui didn't understand any military terms such as geographical features, marching mileage, etc., but when he heard it, he felt that ten days was not a long time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

"We've all met the seven princesses, what about your princess of Longguo, won't you let everyone see them?" Xu Hu said.

"That's it, I didn't see it at the last wedding wearing a hijab, so let's let everyone see it this time. Some others said the same.

"Okay, let's sit down for a while. Mo Cong nodded. Get up and go out.

After leaving the living room and arriving at Murong Mingyue's residence, Murong Mingyue was talking to a few palace maids of Longguo, and when she saw Mo Cong coming in, she stopped talking together.

"What are you talking about?" Mo Cong couldn't understand what they were saying, but asked curiously.

"They are saying that the prince of Ruiguo is going to go back to see her father, and my father also misses me, and before they leave, he specially explained that we are married, and it is useless for him to object, so that I can go back to Longguo to see some relatives when I have time. Murong Mingyue said.

"Your father is really well-intentioned, and he is still thinking of using a trick to trick you back. Where the army can't reach, the palace maids can get there. It's a good idea. Mo Cong sighed and shook his head.

"With my father's understanding, he may indeed have such an idea, after all, I didn't marry you with a public identity here, and as soon as I go back, he can join forces with my master to control me. So that people in both countries don't know that I'm married, and they can marry me off after washing away my memory. Murong Mingyue also sighed and said.

"Don't think about it, these are just our guesses, if your father really figured it out, he won't stop us anymore. Mo Cong saw that Murong Mingyue was a little depressed, so he comforted him. Although he himself thinks it is impossible. Judging from past experience, Murong Kuo has always wanted to get rid of his son-killing enemy, and it is impossible to figure it out so quickly. Let the most beloved daughter live with the most hated murderer for a lifetime.

"Then don't worry, I won't be fooled and won't go back easily. Murong Mingyue took Mo Cong's hand and said softly.

"Well, I came here to discuss with you, some good friends here want to meet you and see the peerless elegance of Princess Longguo, do you give them this face?" Mo Cong asked.

"Since we're good friends, let's go. Murong Mingyue said.

The two of them walked out of the house and came to the conference living room by the lake, and when everyone saw Murong Mingyue coming in, they were shocked, and they saluted and said Hello to Her Royal Highness the princess, they did not slack off at all because the other party was the princess of the enemy country. Murong Mingyue's aura was also too powerful, and as soon as she came in from the door, a noble and incomparably noble bearing rushed to her face, shocking everyone who didn't dare to look at her.

Murong Mingyue didn't sit down to speak, nor did she know who was who one by one, she just said hello in a general way, and then said that although she was the princess of Longguo, marrying Mo Cong was not instigating him to be a spy of Longguo, please tell the emperor of Ruiguo to reassure him, and then turn around and leave.

Only then did a group of people come back to their senses and say to Mo Cong that they really deserved their reputation.

"The last time Lei Bao said that this princess was a fairy-like figure, I thought he was bragging, but today I saw that it was true. Xu Hu said.

"I heard that this princess is a master of the Demon Sect, is it true?" Deng Yong asked.

A group of people asked a lot of questions in a mess, such as how did you meet, why did she marry you when you killed her brother, etc., and Mo Cong also answered simply.

In the following days, a group of generals lived in Mofu for seven or eight days, looking at the mountains and water every day, watching groups of Mofu girls practicing on the shore of Heilong Lake, and living a good life. This morning, Gao Lingfei rode over and said that the imperial army had been withdrawn and the generals could go back, and the generals were relieved and chatted with Gao Lingfei about the farewell and some of the situations of the battle between the two armies, and they all complained that Gao Lingfei was too cunning.

"Don't be discouraged, you are fighting with the immortals, not with us, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if you lose. Gao Lingfei also said politely.

"Commander Gao, is it really the people of the vanguard and the middle guard of the Central Army who help you defend the city, this is unlikely, I am the person of the avant-garde, my soldiers and horses have been staying in the county town, how can I run to the head of the city to help you guard?" asked a battalion leader of the vanguard cavalry of the Central Army in confusion.

"They are indeed the vanguard and central guard of the Central Army, but not now, but two years ago, our right guard is in the mountains, they are in the water, everyone has been saved by the gods, and they have only recently gotten together. Gao Lingfei said.

"I see. Everyone suddenly realized and couldn't believe it.

Everyone was talking here, Mo Cong and Hang Rui had already packed their things and were ready to go, Gao Lingfei asked if he wanted to send a Montenegrin army to accompany him, otherwise it would be too shabby for the princess to return to the palace without even a guard of honor, and others would laugh at Montenegro if she said it.

"There's no need to engage in those things, we are with Deng Commander and they are with them, and there are so many masters together that are better than any honor guard. Mo Cong said casually, and took Hang Rui and Xiaodongzi Xiaohuan Xiaopei to set off with everyone.

The crowd set out from the shore of Heilong Lake and marched all the way to the east, passing through the passes of the city and the road without hindrance, and left the province of Montenegro from the southeast in less than three days. When the generals left Montenegro, they went to meet their subordinates, Mo Cong said goodbye to them, saying that when the capital came back, he would go to the Zuowei garrison to visit Xu Hu, Peng Tianhua, Xiong Bin and others along the way, and then rode with Hang Rui and others on horseback and rode all the way to the capital.

Deng Yong saw that Mo Cong insisted that he didn't need to be accompanied, so he didn't say anything, but just sent a letter to the capital to report the situation, saying that everyone had withdrawn from Montenegro, and Mo Cong and the Seventh Princess were already marching in the direction of the capital, and then took the generals of the right guard to gather the right guard's men and horses and returned to the station.

Mo Cong rode the horse Xiaodongzi to drive the car, the five people marched all the way to the direction of the capital, and in the evening they entered a big city in the southeastern neighboring province of Montenegro Province, the officers guarding the city heard that it was Mo Cong and Hang Rui, and quickly let them go and reported to the authorities, the five people just entered the city and walked for a while before they met the local government to greet them, and then stayed in the local officials' mansions at night.

The next morning, Mo Cong and Hang Ruiwan refused the escort of the local government, and set off on their own to continue their march to the capital, so they drove for three days in a row, and finally met Yu Linwei who came from the capital to meet him on the fourth day.

"Her Royal Highness the princess has worked hard all the way, and Lord Mo has worked hard all the way. The leading general of Yulinwei bowed and saluted, and asked Mo Cong and Hang Rui to ride the phoenix chariot that came to pick up the car, Mo Cong said that he liked to ride a horse, and then rode a horse all the way.

The Yulinwei who came to greet them this time were the two Yulinwei squadrons that made a mistake last time, Hang Xiao said before they set off that this time they would make up for their merits, and they must take Hang Rui back quickly and safely, as long as nothing goes wrong, the previous things will be written off and there will be a reward when they come back, and everyone is relieved to see that they finally received it smoothly.

The crowd marched all the way like this, and the government and military horse farms along the way had already received the news, and the group finally arrived at the palace two days later.

Hang Rui came down from the phoenix chariot and saw the familiar palace that she had lived in for more than ten years, but she didn't know how to have a feeling of being in a different world, not long ago she wanted to escape from here every day, but now she felt very cordial when she came back. When the queen saw Hang Rui, she naturally cried, laughed, complained and said it back, although Hang Xiao didn't say anything, she was also very pleased, Mo Cong didn't know what to say when she saw the family reunion, so she had to silently not speak.
