The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

"Does Your Majesty mean you're not considering peace talks?" The Fifth Prince of Nasha smiled as he looked at the Emperor, who was sitting on the high throne, his eyes filled with a confident smile.

The emperor knew that the Sand Kingdom was just like in his previous life; even if peace was negotiated now, they would still break the treaty, and the princess who came as part of the dowry would only become a funerary object for them to enjoy.

However, the Moon Kingdom also needs a chance to catch its breath.

After years of continuous warfare, the Yue Kingdom is now exhausted. If it could pause for a year or two, allowing all the corrupt officials to be eliminated and their ill-gotten gains to be deposited into the national treasury, coupled with Yunnan's familiarity with Nasha's military formations, a great victory would surely be achieved, and the Yue Kingdom could be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Mu Yunchao looked at the Fifth Prince standing on the platform, not believing that he really wanted to negotiate peace, but just feeling that this man wanted to make something of this marriage alliance. "Does the Fifth Prince have his own plans? Has he taken a fancy to a girl from the Yue Kingdom?"

The Fifth Prince looked in Mu Yunnan's direction, raised his wine cup towards General Mu, and said, "Naturally, it's General Mu Yunnan..."

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

Those old ministers who had previously been critical of Mu Yunnan stood up one by one and resolutely refused.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

If it weren't for the absurd rule that envoys are not to be killed during wartime, he would have already had him dragged away and torn to pieces.

The emperor squinted and his gaze swept across the man's neck.

"The orphan girl that General Mu brought home." The Fifth Prince looked at Mu Yunnan with a smile.

Mu Yunnan leaped into the air, his long sword slashing directly at the Fifth Prince of Nasha. "A five-year-old child, you dare to dream like this."

The Seventh Prince used a long bench to block Mu Yunnan's knife and shouted, "In times of war, envoys are not to be killed. General Mu, are you trying to break off relations?"

"Don't kill the envoy?" Mu Yunnan looked at them with red eyes.

Yun Chao was assassinated by them during the peace negotiations.

What ridiculous rules.

Mu Yunnan chopped the long bench in the Seventh Prince's hand.

I don't care!

Mu Yunchao jumped onto the stage and grabbed Yunnan's wrist, "Yunnan."

"No."

She cannot be the one to break the treaty.

Mu Yunnan snapped out of his daze and looked at the smile on the Fifth Prince's face, finding it utterly displeasing.

"General Mu has the same fiery temper as always. She's just an orphan girl, and General Mu can't even bear to part with her?"

Mu Yunnan pressed his long sword against his neck. "That's my sister. If you say another word, my sword might end up somewhere."

"General Mu's opinion doesn't quite count, does it? I wonder what His Majesty's thoughts are? Will he negotiate peace or continue the war?"

The Emperor stood up, narrowing his eyes slightly, "None of those from the Sand Kingdom will be spared."

Mu Yunnan slashed at the Fifth Prince's abdomen, piercing right through his body. "Fifth Prince, does it feel good?"

The fifth prince stared in disbelief, his eyes wide, and collapsed.

He clearly knew that the Yue Kingdom's treasury was empty and that the Yue Kingdom would definitely agree to sue for peace this time, so he could take this opportunity to humiliate Mu Yunnan.

Why does this happen?

Yunnan drew her long sword, straightened up, and looked at the Fifth Prince lying in a pool of blood. She had noticed something was wrong from the moment she entered the palace banquet.

This was the first time she entered the palace. Her knife was not confiscated, and the soldiers who were inspecting her told her, "General, please keep your weapon safe."

She then knew that this life was different from the last.

The two countries are at war without cutting off the envoys.

Shit.

Mu Yunchao fought the Seventh Prince for dozens of rounds with a short sword.

The Seventh Prince never imagined that the Second Young Master Mu was skilled in martial arts. He had always thought of the Second Young Master Mu as a scholar, refined and easygoing, but also cunning and treacherous. He even felt that the defeat of Nasha this time was most likely due to him.

After all, they had fought against Mu Yunnan for many years and had discovered her irritable nature. They used this to design a trap specifically for Mu Yunnan, but she was able to avoid it perfectly.

This is definitely not normal; someone must be directing things behind the scenes.

Then Mu Yunchao's first place in the literary examination of this month is highly suspicious.

Mu Yunchao unleashed a series of deadly moves.

The Seventh Prince staggered aside, "Second Young Master Mu, I don't think I've offended you, have I?"

Mu Yunchao raised his eyes, leaped forward, and plunged the short blade deep into the Seventh Prince's heart.

"National hatred, family feuds, and personal grudges."

Mu Yunchao straightened up and looked down at the already dead Seventh Prince, just as the Seventh Prince had done in his previous life.

All the things from the past life have truly changed at this moment.

Several civil officials were startled by Mu Yunchao. They often argued with him in court and never imagined that he could appreciate his killing without batting an eye after committing murder.

That's absolutely terrifying!

The entire Mu family is full of lunatics!

After Xie Yaochuan calmly dealt with one of Na Sha's guards, he looked at the emperor standing at the highest point with some confusion, Mu Yunnan who had taken several lives with his sword and was still killing people, and Mu Yunchao who had never drawn a sword but could kill people without changing his expression.

He had assumed that, given the Emperor's cowardly nature, he would surely agree to Nasha's request for peace. He also felt that agreeing to the request for peace might be the best solution. However, feeling resentful, he could only leave the banquet first.

Unexpectedly, things turned out differently than he had imagined.

Xie Yaochuan raised his hand and killed one of the fleeing guards from Nasha Kingdom. He then looked at Mu Yunchao, who was staring at the corpse of the seventh prince of Nasha Kingdom, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Yunchao was not skilled in martial arts, but the moves he made with the Seventh Prince were not amateurish; he had genuinely studied them for a long time.

Just two months ago, he was a frail scholar who couldn't lift a finger or carry anything heavy.

Xie Yaochuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Could it be that he's just pretending because he's too lazy to do anything?

Damn, it's actually quite possible that this heartless person would do something like that.

The banquet gradually quieted down.

Only Mu Yunnan and Mu Yunchao remained on the stage.

A civil official stood up and said, "We have already broken off relations with that Sand Kingdom. Only by pressing our advantage can we truly gain a chance to catch our breath."

Mu Yunnan understood the implication of this person's words: she should return to the battlefield and stop blocking their path in the capital.

She has raided the homes of a bunch of corrupt officials recently, and these people must be scared and want to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Although Yun Chao held a high official position, he had no real power and could not, like her, directly barge into an official's residence and act first and report later.

But Yun Chao will only be more ruthless than her.

Mu Yunnan turned around and knelt down, "This humble general is willing to lead the army into battle and annihilate the Nasha Kingdom in one fell swoop."

Yun Chao gently twisted the tip of the dagger in his left hand. Although he knew that Yunnan would definitely return to the battlefield, there were no eyes for swords on the battlefield, and she was prone to impulsiveness. He was really afraid that something would happen to her in this life.

The Emperor looked at her resolute attitude, his fingertips curling slightly.

She was like this in her past life; she protected his land in this way, while he did nothing at all.

Just as the people said, the Yue Kingdom was defeated by him.

In that case, it would be better for him to come and protect the Moon Kingdom once.

"The Prince of Huaiqing is hereby appointed as Crown Prince, and the Empress Dowager will oversee the state."

"I, the Emperor, will personally lead the expedition."

Mu Yunnan looked up at him in disbelief.

A personal expedition?
