Resisting the Wind and Splendor

It has been decided that Chu Xiaohe will lead a large army to Southern Mongolia.

We must depart immediately.

The Duke's mansion just held a wedding banquet yesterday, and today is the farewell. Everyone is busy preparing for the young master's departure.

Although Huo Qing's heart had already flown to Nanmeng, her performance this time was indeed beyond Chu Yueli's expectations.

She remained calm, not only accepting the news calmly and holding her own, but also calmly preparing a lot of medicinal herbs for Chu Xiaohe.

Chu Xiaohe will set off after noon, leading the guards of the Duke's mansion. After leaving the city, Wan Yinghao will lead 30,000 royal troops to join him.

This can be considered as the Emperor's consideration for their Duke's Mansion. Thirty thousand royal troops will go to Qinyang with Chu Xiaohe.

After the Chu family army returned to Chu Yueli's hands, Chu Yueli ordered Nangong Ji to transfer the Chu family army to Qinyang for garrison. Qinyang is only a three-day journey from the capital, and if they travel at full speed, they can arrive in a little over a day.

After escorting Chu Xiaohe to Qinyang, Wan Yinghao will travel with Chu Xiaohe to Dingzhou.

As for how they would enter Southern Inner Mongolia and what their plans would be, they would decide after they arrived in Dingzhou.

To everyone's surprise, less than an hour later, Prince Mo arrived with an imperial edict to send troops.

"Your Highness wants to go to Southern Mongolia with me?" Chu Xiaohe was so surprised that he suddenly put down the cup in his hand.

He had just finished reviewing the guards' documents and had only come in for a sip of tea when Lu Beimo delivered this message.

Huo Qing and Miao Yucui were still organizing medicinal herbs in the hall when they heard this. Both of them were shocked and looked at Lu Beimo with excitement and emotion.

For the sake of their Duke's mansion and the Chu family army, King Mo was truly willing to disregard everything.

"This matter... Your mother and grandfather are unaware of it, is that right?" Chu Yueli asked softly.

Lu Beimo nodded.

Everyone felt an indescribable sense of emotion.

Regardless of what methods Prince Mo used to persuade the Emperor to allow him to go, the Emperor has now agreed.

At this point, arguing about whether it was right or wrong is pointless.

“Ali, since the Prince is about to depart, why don’t you… take him to say goodbye to his grandfather?” Chu Xiaohe reminded him.

The Duke is still fast asleep and doesn't even respond when you go to say goodbye.

Chu Xiaohe simply wanted to give Chu Yueli and Lu Beimo a chance to be alone together.

After all, we're about to set off.

The two left the hall and walked on the road leading to Huiyan Pavilion. Lu Beimo held Chu Yueli's hand the whole time and never let go.

“You knew I would go with my elder brother, didn’t you?” he asked.

Chu Yueli remained silent for a moment before nodding.

I did think about it, but I still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

They had just gotten married, and now they had to separate.

He suddenly stopped, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and stared intently into her complex eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I promise you, I will protect you with my life..."

But he didn't finish his sentence because Chu Yueli wouldn't allow him to.

She covered his lips, shook her head, and said, "I'm worried about my brother's safety, and I'm worried about you too. I don't want anyone to risk their life to protect anyone else. I want you both to come back safe and sound."

Her older brother was very important to her, and he was just as important to her.

Chu Yueli grasped his hand, intertwining their fingers: "I want you to remember that in this life, I, Chu Yueli, will only have one husband. If you want me to live a good life, you must promise me that you will come back to see me safe and sound!"
