Chapter 243: Why Not Appear?

ld no longer stop the imperial inspectors sent by the emperor to interfere with the war.But these officials were all scholars who didn't understand military strategy or battlefield tactics. They had n..."Wasn't Lan Qing guarding the Heavenly Domination Country and returning to the Blue Country around 16 years old"

"Uh-huh."

An Xue Tang gasped, "That's terrifying, a sixteen-year-old boy can make a fourteen-year-old girl pregnant, truly terrifying!"

After questioning Mo Yunjing, An Xuetang turned to Lan Chuxiao, "Your father was over thirty when he had you"

Lan Chu Xiao nodded slightly, "Father's focus in the first half of his life was not on women because he needed energy to seize the throne. Lan Chu Rong and I are only five years apart."

According to them, An Xuetang quickly concluded that Lan Chu Xiao was the late emperor of Lan Country's son. No wonder Mo Yun Jing and Lan Chu Xiao were about the same age!

Wow… This news is truly astounding!

Lan Chu Xiao fell silent for a long while before looking at Mo Yun Jing and saying, “That...that the world all says that you look exactly like the former emperor of Tianba Country, is this true”

Mo Yunjing's lips curled into a mocking smile. "In the eyes of those who are truly observant, as long as you resemble him in some way, they will perceive you as being like him. If someone has ulterior motives, they naturally won't be able to tolerate anything else."

Once he said it like that, everyone understood. It wasn't that Mo Yunjing really resembled the former emperor of Tianba Country, but rather that the current emperor was driven by paranoia and couldn't bear having Mo Yunjing around.

Then, Ah Jing, how did the former emperor of Lan recognize you

"I had sent him letters, Imperial Mother had already told me her life story and she even had tokens. After the battle ten years ago, I wrote to my maternal grandfather and he came to see me that very night."

It was during that all-night conversation that he finally understood. Lan Qingshou wasn't unwilling to keep his promise; rather, after he returned home, he was targeted by other princes. No one wanted him there, and they all wanted him dead.

How could he possibly bring Su Lan over in that state

Only when he was targeted by various forces did he understand how important power, imperial authority, and wealth are in this world.

To be able to protect the woman he loved, he had to protect himself and also have the ability to protect her. Therefore, he needed power.

As a result, he could only devote himself wholeheartedly to the struggle for the throne during that time.

At last, he won!

On the day he was to ascend the throne, he received a devastating piece of news... Tianba Kingdom's Minister of State's eldest daughter, Su Lan, had died from illness.

That day, he sat on the dragon throne and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He thought to himself, he had gained power and influence, but in the end, he had forever lost her. Was it all worth it

So he wasn't indifferent to love or deliberately choosing not to marry and have children. He just had a reserved position for the Empress, and no one was deemed worthy of it yet.

If it weren't for the ministers who were anxious for him and schemed for him, perhaps... he would never have had children with another woman in his lifetime!

Although he was born into the imperial family, he was not his own master. He had to inherit the throne and ensure the continuation of his dynasty. Therefore, he was forced to favor one concubine after another, ultimately fulfilling the desires of those ministers and giving birth to several princes!

That night, Lan Qing shou had a long talk with him and left behind a will and military talisman. In fact, his throne was originally intended for Mo Yun Jing, which shows how much Lan Qing shou loved Su Lan.

Kemoyun Jing declined the throne, Lan Qing shou could only pass it on to Lan Chuxiao, who had a personality somewhat similar to his.

Actually, Lan Qing shou had already noticed something was wrong with Lan Chu Rong at that time, knowing he would make a big move. But he didn't expect his actions to be so fast, assassinating him the day Lan Qing shou returned to Lan Guo from Bei Jiang!

Successfully seized the throne and forged a will.

And the eunuch who had always been by Lan Qing Shou's side naturally knew about Lan Qing Shou having sought out Mo Yun Jing, and also knew about the relationship between Mo Yun Jing and Lan Qing Shou.

He desperately fled the palace, barely alive, to find Lan Chu Xiao. He could only manage to tell him to seek out the King of Beijiang for the imperial edict and military talisman before he died, unable to utter any further words.

"After asking what she wanted to know, Lan Chu Xiao remained silent for a long time. "Then how did you recognize me How did you know my identity"

Mo Yunjing curled her lips, "Lan Chu Xiao, haven't you noticed that your eyes are extremely similar to mine"

"Is that all"

"Of course not, there's also this..."

As they spoke, Mo Yunjing rolled up his sleeve, revealing a wolf head tattoo on his arm.

This is the emblem of the Blue Nation's royal family.

Mo Yunjing stared at his arm and said, "Even if you deliberately cover up the traces, how can you guarantee that you won't reveal your flaws every time"

This tattoo was done by Lan Qing Shou when he came looking for him, so seeing the mark on Lan Chu Xiao's arm, he naturally knew what it meant.

Over the years, he didn't make it clear just to see how far he could learn from him and whether he had the ability to rule Lan Guo well.

From years of observation, he thought... Lan Chu Xiao was acceptable. He had been waiting for him to confess his identity.

He had already decided that after the last battle, even if Lan Chu Xiao didn't bring it up, he should take the initiative to mention the military talisman and the imperial edict to him.

At that time, what he thought was good happened. The Blue Nation suffered a defeat, and the soldiers of Lan Chu Rong suffered heavy losses, their morale low. This was the perfect time for Lan Chu Xiao to return and seize power more easily.

But man is no match for heaven's calculations, he Mo Yunjing unexpectedly almost lost his life in that battle defeat.

Everything he had envisioned did not come to pass. He did not entrust the military mandate and imperial edict to Lan Chu Xiao, and Lan Chu Xiao did not have time to return and seize power.

Now, Lan Chu Xiao has a mature mind and possesses the capability. Some things are due to be returned to him!

Mo Yunjing handed the imperial edict and military talisman to Lan Chu Xiao without a trace of hesitation. An Xuetang moved her lips, but in the end, she said nothing.

Everyone dispersed and returned to camp. An Xue Tang couldn't wait any longer, "A-Jing, you have the military talisman of the Blue Nation in your hands. Why don't you take this opportunity to rebel against the current emperor of Tian Ba"

Mo Yunjing smiled and explained slowly, "I knew you'd ask this, Tangtang. Unless I attack the capital in the name of Lan Guo, with Lan Guo's soldiers, and every city I capture must be planted with Lan Guo's flag and belong to Lan Guo."

This means that I, leading hundreds of thousands of troops from Beijang, have joined the Blue Nation. This might be a homecoming for me, but for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Beijang... they would feel like they are becoming rebels. Does Tangtang think they can still loyally follow me

The soldiers of the Lan Kingdom are still like this. Do you think they would be willing to march and fight for me, the King of the North Frontier of the Tianba Kingdom

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "So complicated, it seems. I probably still suit taking tasks directly and waging a massacre. These twists and turns of national affairs are truly beyond my comprehension."

Mo Yunjing chuckled, "You don't need to think, just stay by my side peacefully."

"Well, since you've given the will and military command to Lan Chu Xiao, then do we still need to fight Lan"

"Hit."

Then you and Lan Chu Xiao are not enemies anymore

"If I don't fight this battle, relying on Lan Chu Xiao himself and the hundreds of thousands of secret troops left by my grandfather, they wouldn't be able to defeat Lan Chu Rong."

Therefore, this battle not only needs to be fought, but the opponent must also be beaten to a pulp, in order to create better conditions for Lan Chu Xiao to seize power

Mo Yunjing rubbed her head and chuckled, "Tangtang is so smart."

The two of them cuddled in the camp for a long time, chatting for ages. However, Mo Yunjing suddenly turned cold. "Since everyone else is here, why not show yourself"ust quietly stayed in his arms at the moment, letting him hold her.After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yunjing finally let go of her. "I told Eleven to prepare water. Wash up and get some rest early."...
