Then he smiled unpredictably: "That's it, the spring of Yushan came out of the sky. This child will have a great opportunity in the future. I'm afraid he will be stupid for a while after today. He will be completely awake after he reaches twenty."
Mo Man looked at Mo Lan, who was sleeping peacefully, and touched her head lovingly.
"Master means that Yan'er will become an idiot from today on, and will be normal after the age of twenty."
"This child has the appearance of an emperor. In the future, the world will be unified and the world will be unified..."
Mo Man suddenly lost control and shouted, "I don't care about the unification of the world, it has nothing to do with my Yan'er. I just want her to live out her life safely and happily!"
The old Taoist sighed and shook his head, "This is the fate of this child. It is already a sin for the old Taoist to reveal too many secrets today. I won't say more. I will leave this jade bead to her to protect her life."
Mo Lan looked at the bead with a faint blue light and felt familiar.
that is not!
A pearl in the ocean!
As if recognizing its owner, the bead automatically tied around the neck of five-year-old Mo Lan, and then disappeared.
Mo Lan, who was outside the scene, had a faint blue light emitting from his neck.
The scenes in front of him were constantly changing, all of which were scenes of Mo Man and her getting along.
Her heart suddenly felt a little clogged, her nose was sore, and she shed tears unconsciously.
Mo Man patted her shoulder and gave her a deep hug.
Mo Lan reached out and touched her chest. There seemed to be a warm current there. It was strange, but she didn't reject it.
The scene changes again.
This time, it was on the battlefield.
Mo Man sat in the big tent, listening to his subordinates report.
"General, the enemy seems to know our deployment, and most of our elite troops have been lost!"
Mo Man held the jade note in his hand and kept stroking it.
"Immediately organize a group of people and fight out with me. The rest of the people will wait and guard the city gate, waiting for reinforcements!"
"No general!"
"General!"
Mo Man refused to listen to the dissuasion and went to the Wenfeng Tent alone.
"If I want to defend the border and wait for reinforcements this time, I must die. After I die, I will give this sword to Yan'er when she regains consciousness."
After that, Mo Man died on the battlefield, and Wen Feng risked his life to bring her body back covered in blood.
Holding the jade paper tightly in my hand, I burst into tears!
"The happiest thing in my life is to have you by my side. Before I knew it, twenty years have passed. My biggest regret is that I can't watch you get married and have your children.
Forgive mother, for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the country and the stability of the court, mother must die! "
Mo Lan's tears kept falling, and she knew it was due to the mood swings of that soul.
"What about my dad?"
Mo Man wiped away her tears and looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of reluctance.
"He should be watching the sunset over the long river. If you have a chance to see him, Dai Niang tells him that I have done what I promised him!"
After saying that, he slowly disappeared from Mo Lan's eyes.
Mo Lan's heart became heavier at this moment, and she sat blankly at the table, holding the jade note in her hand, without saying a word.
Wenfeng counted the time, opened the door and came in, patting her shoulder comfortingly.
"Your mother-in-law and I went to relax. After receiving the news of the border invasion, we rushed there immediately without returning to Beijing.
What is suspicious is that the news that came out only said that a small army was repeatedly harassing the people.
When your mother and I arrived, we were faced with an army of 100,000 people.
Qi Shaoyu was stationed in the north and there was no time to mobilize.
We immediately sent a message back to Beijing, requesting the dispatch of troops stationed in the Ganges River, but we waited for half a month with no news.
After your mother died, reinforcements arrived within a day, so..."
Mo Lan interrupted Wen Feng's words and said angrily: "So, someone did it deliberately to kill my mother. Border invasion is a big deal. No one in the court dares to take such a risk. The only one who can control the army's schedule is the palace. That one, right?”
Wen Feng suddenly choked up, she had thought the same thing.
"That's what I thought at first. After the border war, I came back to investigate secretly, only to find that the emperor had already ordered the army to go there.
A spy appeared on the way, and the person delivering the order died on the way.
Or because there had been no news from the border, the emperor specially sent multiple teams to deliver the news, and the reinforcements arrived. "
Mo Lan remained silent, who wanted to put Mo Man to death?
If there is such a person in the Qingyun Kingdom, it will be a matter of time before the dynasty changes!
"We can only investigate this matter slowly. The most important thing right now is to suppress the bandits in seven days. Then we will have to trouble my aunt to do more."
When she heard Mo Lan call her aunt, her eyes instantly turned red.
In the days that followed, Mo Lan was still busy doing business.
During this period, snack shops, milk tea bars, jewelry stores, and daily necessities stores were opened.
In the beginning, 'Yan Ruyu' not only sold cosmetics, but also sold skin care products for a limited time.
Business is booming, so naturally there are many jealous people coming to cause trouble.
Mo Lan opened another hot pot restaurant, and every day after returning from the camp, he would treat the generals to dinner.
After a while, no one dared to come and cause trouble.
On the day when the troops were dispatched, Wen Feng waited at the door of Mo Mansion with a sad look on his face.
"Since aunt is here, why don't you go in?"
Wenfeng shook his head and said, "It's too late. I'll tell you in detail when we get in the car."
Both of them were wearing armor today, and they made a jingling sound as soon as they got on the carriage.
"This morning, the second princess asked you to be your deputy general and work with you to suppress the bandits. Your Majesty has agreed."
"Come on if you want. She is the princess. She wants to establish her authority and win over people's hearts. At worst, the credit in the end will all be hers. I don't care."
Wenfeng slapped her on the head.
"You know, she has always wanted to win over your mother. You know, your mother is an upright person. She only cares about the safety of Qingyun Country and does not participate in such partisan disputes. Now that she is suppressing bandits with you, she is declaring her power in disguise. The general is already the second princess’s son!”
Mo Lan touched his chin, it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with this.
The second and third princesses in the court are the most promising candidates to compete for the crown prince.
The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have already secretly taken sides.
If you want to conquer the world, you only need soldiers and money!
The father of the second emperor's daughter came from a noble family and was a senior figure in the court for three generations.
This alone makes her chances of winning even better.
The third emperor's daughter's father's family is an imperial merchant, and it can be said that they control the economic lifeline of Qingyun Kingdom.
Half of the Qingyun soldiers and horses are in the hands of the emperor, and the other half is in the hands of her Mo family.
She suddenly understood why Mo Man had to die!
It seemed that the second princess had her mind set on her.
Unfortunately, I got the wrong note!
Not to mention that she, Mo Lan, has never been manipulated by others, let's just say that she has no feelings about her family and country towards the Qingyun Kingdom, and naturally she will not reach the desperate situation like Mo Man.
"Don't worry, aunt, I know what's going on."
When Wenfeng saw her carefree look, she looked solemn and sighed silently.
When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they saw a woman in black military uniform standing at the front of the army against the scorching sun.
This is the second princess, Luo Yuying.
Before they could exchange greetings, the voice of a palace official came from afar.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
A group of people immediately arranged their clothes and knelt down on one knee.
"Meet the Emperor!"
The Queen nodded calmly, took out a military talisman from the box on the side and handed it to Mo Lan.
"Today you led the troops to suppress the bandits and rescued the people from the fire and water. This command ink talisman once belonged to your mother. Now it is given to you. I hope you will use it well."
Mo Lan sweated on his forehead and took the ink talisman.
"I must swear allegiance to Qingyun and the Emperor to the death."
The Queen smiled with satisfaction, pulled Mo Lan over, and whispered in her ear: "You will train Aying with her, but you must bring her back intact."
"yes."
Although the Queen's voice was low, there were all cultivators present, so she could hear her clearly no matter how low she was.
Looking at the ministers whispering among each other, she believed that the suppression of bandits this time would be difficult.
Even if she returns safely, there will be a lot of trouble for her.
Mo Lan didn't know who the queen intended to appoint as the crown prince, but she knew it would definitely not be the second princess.
If you really want to pass the throne to her, you can issue an edict to establish a throne at any time.
Putting so much effort into letting the officials see her favored only pushed her to the forefront.
What's more, the second emperor's daughter's father's family is very popular in the court, and I'm afraid it has already become a thorn in her side.
Mo Lan got on his horse and waved his right arm.
"Set off!"
three days later
Mo Lan sat in front of the fire, roasting meat, and the aroma was wafting out.
The soldiers also lazily slept against the trees.
"Your Highness, what does this general mean? There are only five thousand troops and a hundred miles of road, but only half of it has been covered today!"
"Yes, not only that, she also asked Wenfeng to keep four thousand men and horses to follow slowly. Could it be that she was afraid of bandits and didn't dare to go?"
Inside the tent
Luo Yuying's two subordinates were chattering and urging her to lead a team of soldiers to suppress the bandits.
He returned to the court and asked Mo Lan to take away her military power.
"madness!"
Luo Yuying rubbed her forehead impatiently.
Two guys who only know how to take credit will never come up with bad ideas!
If grandma hadn't sent the person, she would have killed him long ago!
If the bandits in Cangshan were really as arrogant as the news, the Queen Mother would have sent troops to capture them that day!
The reason why she took the initiative to ask for help was to get close to Mo Lan and see what kind of medicine the Queen Mother sold in her gourd.
Mo Lan...
A loser who had been stupid for more than ten years, but became completely sober three months after Mo Man's death.
Depending on the situation, he can still practice, but his strength may not be inferior to hers.
In less than half a month, one person's power turned Haojing upside down.
I'm afraid that her previous foolishness and good-for-nothing was just an act, and maybe the Queen Mother also had some suspicions before agreeing to make her the deputy general.
Today at the gate of the imperial city, the queen mother said that Mo Fu belonged to Mo Man, which was obviously a test.
"You guys go down. This time I'm just going to practice as the deputy general. General Mo is the chief general. Everything is subject to her orders!"
Mo Lan didn't stop grilling meat until the lights in the tent were turned off.
In the darkness, a book shuttled among the leaves, slowly returning to Mo Lan.
Mo Yuan repeated their conversation to Mo Lan, who pulled off a chicken leg and gave it to him in the space as a reward.
"If the Shen family were willing to listen to the second princess, the position of crown prince would have been hers long ago!"
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, two figures left the camp furtively.
Mo Lan dodged into the space, leaving a mess behind, and controlled the Heavenly Book to follow behind.
I saw the two of them leaving the official road, turning towards the narrow path, and heading deeper into the forest.
"Master, His Highness said that everything should be done according to Mo Lan's instructions. What should we do?"
Shen Yi!
Mo Lan landed on the tree and looked at the people below. There were hundreds of them.
"It doesn't matter, everything remains as planned!
Send an order to the stronghold and tell Shen Bao that his people must not hurt the Second Highness. As for Mo Lan, he is a loser. It doesn't matter whether he is injured or dead. "
I see!
There are members of the Shen family in the Cangshan bandits. They must have been fully prepared, waiting for her piece of fat to fly to the chopping board.
Then the second princess succeeded in suppressing the bandits, and her image became even more perfect in the hearts of the officials and even the people.
The Queen must know everything, she has to think of a perfect plan!
Taking advantage of the darkness, Mo Lan moved forward quickly. In the early morning of the next day, he had arrived at the small town under Cangshan Mountain.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were waiting for news from me? What if there is an accident on the road?"
Wenfeng, who had arrived early alone, was a little angry and a little scared.
"The situation has changed. There are Shen family members among the bandits in Cangshan Mountain. This bandit suppression operation is to help the Second Princess!"
Mo Lan told her everything he heard.
"If you successfully suppress the bandits, you will offend the Shen family. If you help the second princess suppress the bandits, it will show that you are on the side of the second princess! The emperor wants you to show your attitude!"
Mo Lan smiled: "So I need your help, aunt, to spread the news that the mighty general Mo Lan was captured by the Cangshan bandits!"
"No, I know what you are going to do, and I can't let you be in danger!"
Wenfeng flatly refused, there was no way she could let Mo Lan get hurt at all!
Mo Lan knew she would say this, but she had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Don't worry, aunt, just do as I say. There are many good things in the jade note my mother left behind, enough to keep me safe.
Now we are switching light and dark with the enemy. We don't want to fall into a dilemma. This is the only way. "
Wenfeng saw that she had made up her mind, with firm eyes and a confident smile on her lips.
"You look exactly like your mother when she was young!"
Parting ways with Wen Fengbing, Mo Lan counted the time and walked around the town.
There were shouts and curses not far away, and Mo Lan went over to hide in the crowd and watch the fun.
Two big men who looked like gangsters stepped on a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"You brat, you always spoil our good deeds. We brothers will destroy you today."
The young man's eyes were ruthless, and he would not spare his words even if he was stepped on the ground.
"Bah, ever since the head of the family was assassinated, you have been colluding with that surnamed Shen, harming the natural world, and oppressing the people. Sooner or later, you will die without a burial place-"
One of the big men kicked him on the chin, spitting out a mouthful of blood and causing several teeth to fall out.
"You brat, today we will clean up Cangshan!"
Cangshan!
Mo Lan smoothly pulled out the chopsticks on the stall nearby, condensed his spiritual energy, and shot it directly through the hand of the man wielding the knife.
The powerful momentum, after the chopsticks penetrated, knocked the person to the ground and hit the crowd of onlookers.
Mo Lan covered her mouth, a little surprised, feeling guilty like a child who had done something wrong.
I didn't expect this spiritual energy to be so lethal when used.
Seeing the injured person, Mo Lan turned around and wanted to run away.
A large knife blocked her path.
