Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Master Mo had not yet spoken.

Chu Yueli then spoke first: "Your Highness, could you answer one question for me first?"

Yuwen Shu looked at her, and Master Mo was also looking at her.

Chu Yueli asked, "Do you really consider Master Mo your brother or your soldier? But he is from the Central Plains."

"So what if you're from the Central Plains? Master Mo and I have been through thick and thin together for so many years, we're practically brothers. Why should we care about each other's backgrounds?"

However, after Yuwen Shu finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was being subtly stirred in his heart.

Since no one cares about their background, why are they so fixated on the so-called origins?

Chu Yueli didn't continue speaking, but simply stood up.

Lu Beimo then stood up and helped her.

"Your Highness, please reminisce. I have prepared a banquet for you and Master Mo tonight."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Beimo.

Lu Beimo nodded: "I will do as my wife says."

They're gone.

Yuwen Shu looked at Master Mo, who said, "It wasn't them who captured me; I came to find you, Your Highness, on my own."

"Master Mo, sit down and let's talk."

They talked for a long time.

After Yuwen Shu was taken away by Lu Beimo, their army camp was leaderless. At that time, the Dongling army attacked, so Master Mo could only lead his soldiers to retreat back to Daganlu Alliance.

Mo Wang's Northern Cavalry and Chu Yue Li's Chu Family Army came with great force, and everyone was extremely difficult to defend the Da Gan Lu Alliance.

They thought they would soon be unable to hold out, but unexpectedly Yelü Han's reinforcements arrived.

The arrival of reinforcements brought a brief respite to the fighting, and while the two sides remained deadlocked, nothing major happened.

Winter has arrived, and finally, the flames of war have completely ceased.

Master Mo thought the army of the Urchin Alliance would return, but who knew that Yelü Han's men would come and not leave. Instead, while Yuwen Shu was away, they transferred away the generals of the Yuwen family one by one.

“I’ve inquired about it. The generals who were transferred were either assigned to the front lines as deputy generals, always leading the charge in every battle, or they were reassigned to the lowest ranks of junior officers.”

"At first, they could be made into junior generals, but gradually they became soldiers, and later they had to do hard labor. Many generals were dissatisfied and were convicted of being rebels. Generals Yuwen Qi and Yuwen Dong were falsely accused by Yelü Han's people of colluding with the Dongling army because they wanted to find you, General. They were... beheaded on the spot."

"Yelü Han!" Yuwen Shu slammed his fist on the table in anger.

The marble table was immediately smashed open, leaving a crack.

"Master Mo," he suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "Where is Ya'er?"

“Princess Ya…” Master Mo paused for a moment, somewhat hesitant.

Yuwen Shu felt a chill run down his spine and asked urgently, "Was Ya'er...was she also harmed by Yelü Han?"

"No, Princess Ya is doing very well right now. She...she followed Yelü Xiu and is now Yelü Xiu's favorite concubine."

"She! How could she become Yelü Xiu's concubine!"

Yuwen Shu closed his eyes. Although he was very angry, he seemed to have expected that his younger sister, Yuwen Ya, would find her own way out.

Perhaps, this is the best outcome for her.

But would Yelü Xiu really treat her well? After a while, once he gets tired of her, it probably won't end well for him.

Oh well, this younger sister has never been so simple-minded. Everyone has their own ambitions, and whatever path they choose, they have to bear the consequences.
