Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

The emperor gritted his teeth, suddenly picked up the teacup on the table beside him and smashed it against the door. "Everyone wants to divide my kingdom. Am I too kind?!"

Qi Minxiu glanced at the guard kneeling on the ground, made eye contact with him, then looked outside the door, signaling him to leave.

Seeing the emperor so angry, Qi Yue immediately stepped forward and took on the task: "Father, I am willing to lead the troops."

Qi Minxiu pushed the wheelchair and came up to the few people with a worried tone.

"Wang Pingjin has oppressed the people and deserves death. My brother is equally powerful and must be captured alive and brought back to the capital to face the laws of the Great Southern Yao."

Xiao Mo looked at the emperor silently, knowing that he was angry at the moment and did not dare to say anything.

The current situation, with internal and external troubles, cannot be solved by just a few words from her.

All she could do was wait.

The emperor looked at Qi Yue and Xiao Mo in turn, sighed, and his deep eyes gradually focused on Xiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo, listen to my orders. I want you to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to the Western Frontier to capture Wang Pingjin and take down the Kang clan."

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down to accept the order.

When Qi Yue and Qi Minxiu heard that the emperor wanted her to go to Western Xinjiang, their faces changed instantly.

"Father, the Western Frontier is extremely dangerous and horrific. It's best to let this son go. As for General Xiao, let her go to Nan'an to quell the rebellion of the King of Nan'an."

Qi Yue knelt on the ground, hoping that the emperor would adopt his suggestion.

The emperor looked at him calmly and said, "Since you want to send troops so much, then you should go to Prince Nan'an's side."

Qi Minxiu had originally persuaded the emperor to let Xiao Mo stay, but unexpectedly, an incident in the western border caught him off guard.

He, who was always calm and composed, was also bewildered. "Father, General Xiao's health has not yet recovered. Why not find another general from the court?"

The emperor glanced at him with a frown and snorted coldly, "Don't I know what you two are thinking? General Xiao is a pillar of the country. I am very relieved to let her go to the Western Frontier."

In fact, the emperor was just talking about Xiao Mo. After all, she had only led troops to fight in one battle, so it was hard to say whether she was strong or not.

But now there are no available generals in the court, and the ones that are available are some young generals who have never been to the front line and are serving as substitutes.

The other veteran figures who had fought in all directions were stationed at the border, and the only ones with some ability were Xiao Mo and Qi Yue.

These two people sent Qi Yue to pacify Nannan out of their own selfish motives.

Because in his heart, Qi Yue is his successor and there can't be any mistakes.

Moreover, letting him witness the rebellion of the royal family with his own eyes would also help him deal with the conflicts among his relatives after he ascends the throne.

As for Xiao Mo's trip to the Western Frontier, he would arrange reinforcements himself.

"Father, please revoke your order..."

"Please reconsider, Father..."

The emperor looked at the two of them with a firm gaze, and finally locked his gaze on Xiao Mo.

"I order you to immediately assemble your troops and prepare to march out tomorrow morning."

Xiao Mo lowered her eyes and responded calmly and forcefully, "I will obey your command."

Qi Minxiu watched her leave, feeling as if a huge stone was hanging in his heart.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the emperor, he could only retreat and catch up with Xiao Mo.

Outside the palace corridor, he stopped Xiao Mo who was walking quickly towards the military camp, and walked forward with an unhappy expression and pulled her over.

"Amo, why are you so stupid? You agree to everything the emperor says. You should have declined the Western Frontier matter. I don't believe there are no other generals in the court who can be entrusted with important tasks."

Xiao Mo pulled her hand back and looked at him with her eyes lowered: "This is the emperor's order. You can't persuade him, how can I refuse?"

Qi Yue followed closely behind and slapped Xiao Mo on the forehead, his face as dark as if Xiao Mo owed him hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.

"Do you have a brain? Why don't you just say you're feeling unwell? Qi Minxiu has already hinted that you're injured and have residual poison. You're so smart, why don't you just follow suit?!"

Xiao Mo pushed her cheek and raised her hand to hit back: "Why are you hitting me?! It's not me who brought it up. The fact that the emperor thought of me first proves that I am powerful in his heart.

You two don't trust me, so I'd like to see if I can return victorious."

After saying this, she turned around and strode away with her head held high.

When she returned to the Shangshu Mansion, Xiao Wenbo came to greet her with a smile on his face as soon as she entered the door.

Xiao Mo ignored her and went straight back to her yard.

He had just been demoted and his concubine was beaten so badly that everyone was making fun of him.

When he saw her, he didn't give her a cold shoulder, but instead came to greet her in person with a smile.

She knew without thinking that he must have known that the emperor had sent her to the western border to quell the rebellion.

If she came back with merit, there was a 90% chance that he would be reinstated. Now that she hadn't left yet, he had to curry favor with her first.

But he didn't want to see him, especially after knowing the truth of that year.

In the Suqiyuan room, she had just sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. Before she had time to drink it, Murong Shu walked in hurriedly.

As soon as she arrived, she took Xiao Mo's hand and asked her in a trembling voice, "I heard that the emperor sent you to lead troops to the western border to quell the rebellion?"

Xiao Mo responded softly, then changed her hand to pick up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

After receiving a positive answer, Murong Shu's eyes turned red for a moment, and then tears fell down like they were free.

"Mo'er, you are a woman, why don't you learn how to wield a sword and a gun?

The suffering in Western Xinjiang. I heard that Wang Pingjin is obscene and violent, and his methods are extremely cruel. If you can't catch him, and something happens to him, how will my mother survive? "

Xiao Mo looked at her with contempt, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. She asked, "How did you, a woman in the harem, know all this? And the methods used were extremely cruel. Was it Qi Yue or Qi Minxiu who told you?"

Murong Shu's expression froze. She wiped away her tears and turned away: "No matter who told me, just tell me whether you want to go or not."

Xiao Mo exhaled heavily, held his hands with both hands, turned her over and comforted her.

"The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, mother. You should support me, believe in me, and encourage me instead of denying me."
