Chapter 195 It's Been Hard

"Mu Ji!"

Just as the sky lit up, a deafening roar rang out from the Mu Clan Army barracks.

Cui Ting, who was dressed in military uniform, brought hundreds of Great Xia soldiers into Mu Ji's tent angrily.

Seeing how arrogant he was, the old Mu Clan Army tribes around them felt quite indignant. However, considering their current situation, they had no choice but to suppress such indignation.

When Cui Ting brought a group of soldiers into the tent, Mu Ji was the only one sitting on the high platform drinking tea.

"Cui Guozhu, what made you so unhappy?" When he saw Cui Ting arrive, his face did not reveal the slightest bit of shock. She only raised her eyes to glance at him and asked.

Cui Ting was stunned. He really couldn't understand how Mu Ji could still sit here leisurely after such a big incident. Very quickly, this doubt turned into anger.

'"Good you, Mu Ji. You and I have spent a hundred thousand troops in just a few days. There are only forty thousand troops left. What about Big Yellow City? Where's Lin Shou? What did you promise me?"

Cui Ting roared at Mu Ji with a red face. The ferocious expression on his face made it impossible for anyone to find the demeanor that Lord Guozhu deserved.

'"What is Guozhu anxious about? This victory and defeat is a common occurrence in the military. Lin Shou is also known as the number one general under the heavens. If Big Yellow City is really that easy to break, how can it be my turn to take Mu Ji?" Mu Ji smiled and reached out to fill the teapot in front of the table, indicating for Cui Ting to drink.

How could Cui Ting have such thoughts? He took a step forward, picked up the teacup and smashed it to the ground. He pointed at Mu Ji's nose and scolded again, "Mu Ji, do you think that I, Cui Ting, am a three-year-old child? Are you trying to deceive me like this?"

"Those are 60,000 Great Xia elites. You didn't even touch the walls of Big Yellow City and you killed them all. Are you kidding me, Cui Ting?"

As he said this, the aura around Cui Ting surged, and the aura of the Great Evolution Realm spread out like a tide, as if killing intent had been activated.

Mu Ji, whose face was stained with water from the broken teacup, was not angry.

He reached out his sleeve and slowly wiped off the water stains on his face. His eyes were still as calm as a dead man's.

He raised his head to look at the angry Cui Ting and calmly asked, "Cui Dazhu, do you want to talk to me like this?" As he spoke, he used the corner of his eyes to gently glance at the hundreds of soldiers who had followed Cui Ting.

Cui Ting was stunned. The gaze in his eyes wandered for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "You guys go out!"

The hundreds of soldiers behind him hesitated slightly when they heard this, but they still didn't dare to disobey the intentions of the pillar and left the tent one after another.

The anger in Cui Ting's heart also calmed down a little. He pulled a wooden chair and sat down on the golden saber horse in front of Mu Ji. He stared fixedly at the white-clothed man in front of him and gritted his teeth. "I hope His Highness the King of Beijiang can give me a reasonable explanation," he said.

"Naturally." Seeing this, a rare smile appeared on Mu Ji's face. He reached out and picked up the teapot again, filled a cup for Cui Ting and handed it to him.

Perhaps Cui Ting was relieved by his attitude. He calmly took the teacup and didn't throw it to the ground like before.

"Something happened in Big Yellow City." At that moment, Mu Ji's voice sounded.

"What happened?"

"The Tian Ce Mansion is here."

Along with Mu Ji's calm voice, Cui Ting's hand that was holding the teacup trembled. The tea fell on his sleeve and invaded the cortex. However, he did not feel that the tea was warm. On the contrary, a chill inexplicably arose in his heart.

" Tian Ce Mansion? I've heard of news from Tian Ce Mansion. However, there are several hundred people. They are not comparable to those years ago. It is said that the new Manor Master is still a child who is still wet behind the ears." But he was Cui Ting after all, and he quickly calmed down.

"Of course these are correct." Mu Ji nodded his head. His lifeless eyes suddenly lifted up and looked at Cui Ting. "But Mr. Lu is still alive."

Cui Ting's pupils suddenly dilated, but before he could digest the news, Mu Ji's voice sounded again.

"Yuan Guilong is still alive."

Pa!

With a crisp sound, the teacup fell to the ground and the tiles shattered.



The tent fell into a deathly silence.

Gulu.

The arrogant Lord Guozhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the white-clothed man in front of him again, asking, "Is this true?"

"Yesterday, Mr. Lu killed more than 60 Heavenly Hunt Realm experts under me with his mighty Sacred Qi. Is this a lie?" Mu Ji replied indifferently, his expression still incomparably calm.

"Then what about Yuan Guilong?"

"There seems to be something else that hasn't arrived yet. However, I estimate that once he finishes doing that, he will definitely come to Big Yellow City to rescue him." At this point, Mu Ji paused for a moment before asking, "Does Lord Guozhu still think that I have wasted the lives of the 60,000 Great Xia soldiers?"

Gulu.

After finally digesting this shocking news, Cui Ting swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

"Then what do you think we should do with this matter?" This time, Cui Ting's tone could no longer hear his previous aggressiveness. Instead, he had more intentions of asking for advice.

Mu Ji glanced at him indifferently and then withdrew his gaze. He put the teacup in his hand to his mouth and took a sip. Only then did he ask calmly, "It depends on Lord Guozhu, just how determined is he to take down Big Yellow City?"

Hearing this, Cui Ting was stunned again. After a change of expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "What if this king insists on taking this city?"

The corner of Mu Ji's mouth hooked into a flash of a smile. He extended his hand and filled the two teacups in front of Cui Ting with tea.

Cui Ting was stunned and quickly understood what Mu Ji meant.

"Beijiang King is too much of a joke, isn't he? Earlier, you promised to help me take down Big Yellow City when you wanted to leave my 100,000 strong army, but now you want 200,000 more … Do you think that my Cui Ting's troops were blown over by the wind?"

He asked with a calm expression, and his tone was not good. Obviously, he was extremely displeased with Mu Ji's repeated words.

"Don't be angry, Cui Guozhu. Listen to me carefully." Cui Ting's reaction seemed to have been within Mu Ji's expectations. The man smiled and said softly, "Although Mr. Lu is capable, he is only a Confucian scholar. Today, he has activated his Nature Energy. I'm sure he won't dare to use it too much for the next few days. This is one of them."

'"Second, you know what Yuan Guilong is capable of. Not to mention being able to turn the country around by himself, it shouldn't be difficult to stop us soldiers and horses. Right now, he is trapped in the mortal world and doesn't dare to act recklessly. But if he comes to Big Yellow City after that, I'm afraid that the history of the 500,000 Xia Army's invasion 30 years ago will repeat itself."

"Thirdly, although Lin Shou has been crowned the number one general under the heavens, he is still very old. The Great Evolution Realm experts he has at his disposal have long since disappeared. Only the Hou Ling of the Tian Ce Mansion will be in chaos if we attack Lin Shou and find an opportunity to kill him."

"Together, the army is the best choice now."

Mu Ji's analysis naturally didn't have the slightest problem, but Cui Ting harbored a grudge against the Northern Region King. Handing over 200,000 troops to him was equivalent to handing over his future to him. Even Cui Ting had to hesitate for such a gamble.

"Lord Guozhu, it's easy to think about Mu's situation."

"I released 500,000 troops into the pass, which is equivalent to giving the whole of Jizhou to Li Yulin. Now everyone in Great Zhou treats me like a jackal and a wild dog. There is no place for me to live there. Where is Cui Guozhu? He has been defeated by the Tiger Leopard Cavalry in the Eastern Region of Great Xia. There are also some complaints compared to the Imperial Court."

'"Cui Guozhu wants this Big Yellow City to sit firmly in his seat. I also want this Big Yellow City to be a good candidate. You and I are on the same boat now. If Guozhu doesn't even trust me, who else can he trust?"

Hearing this, Cui Ting's expression changed again.

"Two hundred thousand, I'll give you another two hundred thousand. Are you sure you can take down Big Yellow City?" He gritted his teeth and asked in a voice that was almost squeezed out of his throat.

"How can there be a war that can be won? If there is, how can I, Mu Ji, do it?" Just as Cui Ting was about to lose his temper again, Mu Ji said, "But I can guarantee that if I can't take down Big Yellow City, I will compensate Guozhu for my life."

"Think of it as sacrificing hundreds of thousands of Great Xia soldiers. Why?"

Hearing this, Cui Ting, who was about to get angry again, immediately smiled and said, "Is this true?"

"Is there any joke in the army?" Mu Ji replied indifferently.

"Alright!" At that time, Cui Ting smiled happily. He picked up the two cups of tea on the table and drank them all in one gulp.



A hundred breaths later, Cui Ting, who had received his reply, left the camp with a smile on his face.

At this time, Mu Liang, who had been placing his hand on the hilt of the sword outside the tent, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He walked in and saw the white-clothed man carefully tidying up the tea set on the desk. He hurriedly took over the job.

"Did that fellow surnamed Cui agree?" Mu Liang asked.

Hearing this, Mu Ji, whose face was pale and slightly morbid, turned his head to look at the man who was more than ten years older than him. Unconsciously, his brother, who always had a silly smile on his face, now had white hair on his temples.

He was a little depressed, but in the end, he still nodded.

"Really?!" Seeing this, Mu Liang was overjoyed, and his face revealed the same smile as before.

"Half of the plan has succeeded." Mu Ji Yan said, "Go and give me a divorce letter to the Great Commander. Tell him that Mu Ji will remember this kindness."

"En, good!" Hearing this, Mu Liang nodded, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the tent.

"A Liang!" However, right at that moment, Mu Ji's shout suddenly came to mind behind him.

It had been a long time since Mu Liang had heard this name spit out from his younger brother's mouth. How long had it been before the Mu King's rebellion happened?

He was a little surprised and turned to look at the middle-aged man doubtfully.

At that time, Mu Ji's pale face revealed a genuine smile for the first time.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't laughed like this in too long, his smile wasn't good-looking.

Even because he was born with a pair of lifeless eyes, the smile on his face was somewhat strange.

Then, the Beijiang King, who had been in the Northern Region for nearly ten years, opened his bloodless lips.

Gently.

He said sincerely.

"It's been hard."
