God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Chapter 428: Heading to Mocheng

The entire court fell into a suffocating silence.

The emperor frowned, glanced at the ministers in his palace, and asked with a tone of anger and disappointment: "Is it possible that my great dynasty can't find a general who can go into battle and kill the enemy and resist foreign enemies?" His voice echoed in the hall, shaking everyone's heart.

The Grand Tutor coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence, and said slowly: "If the Duke of Zhenguo were still alive, with his bravery and strategy, he would be able to resolve this crisis. It's a pity... Alas!" As he said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After a long while, a faint discussion was heard among the crowd.

Finally, someone lowered his voice and said carefully: "I heard that the new general of the Liang army is brave and powerful. If we rashly send troops, I am afraid it will be dangerous."

At this moment, Prince Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a step forward, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and said, "Father, as the master of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country's future. He should stand up at this moment, share the country's worries, and set an example for all the ministers."

Jun Moyuan was waiting for Prince Yu to say this, and he was secretly delighted.

He took a step forward without hesitation, straightened his body, clasped his fists and said to the emperor with a firm and resolute expression: "Father, I am willing to personally lead the army to Mocheng and fight to the death with the Liang army, repel them in one fell swoop, and protect the peace of our people on the border!"

When the emperor heard that Jun Moyuan was going to Mocheng, he was extremely surprised. He opened his lips slightly and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking: "Prince, this trip to Mocheng is a long journey of thousands of miles! And according to the battle report from the front, the battle situation there is extremely dangerous and the enemy is coming fiercely. Have you really thought it through?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Moyuan clasped his fists and saluted the emperor without hesitation. He looked straight at the emperor with his bright and determined eyes and said loudly: "Father, please rest assured. As a prince, it is my unshirkable responsibility to protect my country! I have already thought about it carefully. This time when I go to Mocheng, even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles, I will definitely go all out and live up to my mission!"

The Prime Minister standing nearby also interrupted at this time. He frowned slightly and said solemnly: "Your Highness's courage is truly admirable, but the battle of Mocheng is of great importance and is by no means a trivial matter! We still need to think carefully and must not act rashly."

However, Jun Moyuan immediately retorted: "Mr. Prime Minister, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly and opportunities are fleeting. If we fail to dispatch troops decisively and take action quickly, I am afraid that Mo City will fall into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

The emperor weighed the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind. After a while, he looked up at Jun Moyuan and said solemnly: "Prince, since you are so determined, I believe in your ability and determination. I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this expedition to Mocheng. You must reorganize the army and set off as soon as possible! Remember, you must repel the Liang army and return triumphantly with the glory of victory!"

After Jun Moyuan heard the emperor's order, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. He clasped his fists again and responded loudly: "Your son will obey the emperor's order! I will live up to your expectations and honor your grace!"

The emperor nodded slightly to show his agreement. His deep eyes were filled with expectations and trust, as if he placed all his hopes on the person in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Shun, who was standing nearby, hurriedly shouted, "Adjourn the court!" The voice echoed in the empty court for a long time.

Jun Moyuan respectfully took the imperial edict and turned around without hesitation. He walked hurriedly, his figure as straight as a pine tree, and left the palace in the blink of an eye.

He was fully aware that this expedition was a heavy responsibility and time-sensitive, and that he had to race against time to prepare for various matters.

Eunuch Shun looked at Jun Moyuan's departing back and said to the emperor worriedly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is young and energetic. I am really worried about him going on this expedition."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Xiao Shunzi, I believe the prince has this ability, and this is also a major test for him."

漠城

After Lu Tingyan returned to the inn, Ling'er saw the young lady coming back and hurriedly went forward to greet her, asking anxiously: "Young lady, you are back? How are you?"

Lu Tingyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Yuan is already on his way to Mocheng."

When Ling'er heard this, a happy smile instantly broke out on her face, and she said excitedly: "That's great, Miss! Now the people are saved."

Lu Tingyan nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "I hope Brother Yuan can successfully repel the enemy this time and keep Mo City safe."

Ling Er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed: "It will definitely happen. The prince is so powerful, he will definitely be able to defeat those Liang troops."

Lu Tingyan turned to look at Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, we can't just sit there. We have to prepare some more supplies. Maybe we can help."

Ling Er responded, "Okay, with the young lady and the prince here, we will definitely be able to defeat the Liang army."

Prince's Mansion

On the other side, Jun Moyuan returned to the Prince's Mansion, summoned all the generals, and began to deploy the battle plan.

"Dear generals, this trip to Mocheng is related to the safety of the country and the survival of the people. We must go all out and cannot afford to make any mistakes." Jun Moyuan looked serious and his eyes were firm.

The generals responded in unison: "We are willing to obey your orders, His Royal Highness!"

The day of departure soon arrived. Jun Moyuan was wearing armor and riding on a tall horse, with a high-spirited army behind him.

The emperor, along with his civil and military officials, and the people of the capital also took to the streets to see off the soldiers who were about to go to the battle.

In front of the farewell team, the emperor walked up to the high platform, looked at Jun Moyuan solemnly, and said loudly:

"Prince, today you are leading the army to attack Mocheng. I am very worried, but also have high hopes. You are my beloved son, and you are also the pillar of the country. The journey to Mocheng is long and the battle is difficult, but I firmly believe that with your bravery, fearlessness, wisdom and strategy, you will be able to defeat the enemy and win, protect our territory and our people.

I hope you will always remember that behind you are the people of the country and the dignity of our dynasty. When fighting, you should prioritize strategy and not act rashly. I am in the capital, waiting for the good news of your triumphant return.

Go, Prince, with my expectations, the people's high hopes, and the glory of our dynasty, fight bravely and raise the prestige of our country!"

"May His Royal Highness be victorious!"

"Soldiers must return safely!"

"May His Royal Highness be victorious and bring glory to our country!"

"Soldiers are brave and fearless, you must return safely. We are waiting for your good news!"

"Your Highness, you are our hope. We must defeat the enemy!"

Jun Moyuan looked at the people and said loudly: "Thank you fellow villagers, we will definitely return victorious!"

Prince Yu was also among the people seeing him off. He walked up to Jun Moyuan with a glass of wine in his hand and said loudly, "I wish my brother a triumphant return!" Then he whispered into Jun Moyuan's ear, "My dear brother, please don't die outside."

Jun Moyuan's expression remained unchanged, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied: "Royal brother, I will live well, I have a strong life."

Prince Yu's face froze, and he forced a smile, saying, "Then my brother must keep his word."

Jun Moyuan ignored him and turned to look at the soldiers behind him. He raised his sword and shouted, "Soldiers, move forward!"

With an order, the army marched towards Mocheng in a mighty manner.
