Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Father will definitely agree." Chu Yueli's words were firm and resolute.

Lu Fengjin frowned deeply.

Lu Yunfei wanted to speak, but suddenly, he seemed to understand that this time, he had no power to stop them.

It should be said that once Chu Yueli made a decision, when had he ever been able to stop her?

Every single time, wasn't it a desperate yet helpless compromise?

"Fifth brother, if you are truly willing to help, I will not treat you unfairly, unless we are unable to take over Nanmeng. If we can, I will give you the core leadership of the Urchin Alliance."

Chu Yueli's words caused Lu Yunfei and Jing Lei's expressions to change simultaneously!

Urchin League is the current garrison of the Khitan King and the political center of Southern Mongolia. It can be said that whoever can take over Urchin League will be the greatest contributor to the conquest of Southern Mongolia.

If the Urchin Alliance is handed over to Prince Jin, does that mean that even if their prince eventually conquers Southern Mongolia, he will still hand over the entire Southern Mongolia to Prince Jin?

Shouldn't we discuss this with the Prince?

Lu Fengjin was also taken aback: "You...you think you can make that decision?"

"I can make the decision."

"princess……"

"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law!"

Jing Lei and Lu Yunfei felt a chill run down their spines.

Chu Yueli looked at them and smiled, "You've been by Bei Mo's side for so long, don't you know him well enough? When has he ever wanted to take over this country? If he really wanted to, he wouldn't have only brought three thousand personal guards with him this time."

“In Bei Mo’s heart, the greatest wish is for the world to be at peace and for the people to live in harmony. If Prince Jin can really do his best to recover Nanmeng and let the people of Nanmeng live a good life and no longer suffer from the pain of death, your prince will be satisfied.”

These words made Jing Lei and Lu Yunfei feel ashamed.

Lu Fengjin had mixed feelings; he was filled with excitement, but also felt a little ashamed.

After years of military service, what was he thinking about? To make a name for himself and seize this country.

He assumed everyone thought the same way, or at least Lu Beimo must have thought so too.

But the fact that his fourth brother only brought three thousand personal guards back this time was indeed unexpected.

Does the fourth prince truly not care about the empire? Are only the common people truly important?

So, what he has been pursuing all these years, is it right or wrong?

“But… even if we don’t stop him, the Emperor might not agree,” Jing Lei whispered.

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps sounded outside.

The guards were reporting something to Liu Yun. Not long after, Liu Yun returned from the courtyard and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, the Emperor has ordered you two to enter the palace for an audience immediately."

……

The Emperor was so anxious because he had just received a battle report from Southern Mongolia.

Both Prince Mo and Marquis Dingbei have disappeared without a trace.

They have no way of knowing the exact situation in southern Mongolia today.

Because they knew nothing, everyone was even more anxious.

At this moment, even the old Duke of Qin has arrived, along with Consort Yu and his younger brother-in-law Qin Jianye.

"Greetings, Father Emperor. Greetings, Consort Yu."

"Your subject pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Chu Yueli and Lu Fengjin entered the palace at the same time. According to An Delu, Prince Jin was also at the Mo Prince's residence today and was with Princess Mo.

The Emperor's gaze toward the two men always held a hint of something strange.

However, this was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. He was still feeling uneasy: "An urgent report came from Nanmeng that Mo'er and the Marquis of Dingbei have disappeared. Do you two know about this as well?"
