After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 389 Pretending to Cater
"You bastard thing!"

Li Yanqing kicked his aide.

"How could Li Yansheng regain the favor of the emperor when he has clearly been disliked by his father?"

His face was hideous and the anger in his heart was beyond words.

Li Yanqing felt that it was not enough, so he kicked his aide again.

The aide collapsed to the ground, looking bitter.

"Your Majesty, seeing that the Crown Prince is about to fall, who would have thought that the Emperor would be so soft-hearted!"

Li Yanqing glanced at his staff, "Soft-hearted?"

He felt it was incredible to use the word "soft-hearted" to describe Li Guoli.

"How can he be so soft-hearted?"

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to get our people to take action!"

The aide stood up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, it might be inappropriate to act now."

"Everyone in the court is watching you now!"

He not only stared at Li Yanqing, but also at Li Yanzhao.

Li Yanqing was vicious and surly, "So what if you're staring at me?"

"No one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"

When Li Yanzhao heard that Li Yansheng had regained favor, he actually felt relieved.

He slumped in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to be favored again!"

Now that he has regained favor, he won't have to worry about anything else.

Along with the relaxed and happy mood comes a hint of loss.

He understood that this sense of loss came from his desire for that position.

Let me ask you, who doesn’t want to stand at the top of power?

Just like Ayan said, if he stands at the top, no one in the Great Zhou Kingdom will be able to defeat him.

However, the education he received since childhood did not allow him to have any second thoughts.

Having made up his mind, he stood up.

It’s better to be the most advantageous spearhead of the Great Zhou!
Now that the decision has been made, we must focus on defending the Great Zhou.

Yesterday, Muzhaling attacked aggressively, but Li Yanzhao stopped the enemy with thundering means.

This is not a long-term solution.

The faster this battle goes on, the better.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Zhou Dynasty, whose treasury is already in deficit.

Naturally, Muzaling also understood this.

"General, those people still refuse to take the money. Do you think we should release my wife?"

The adjutant suggested this to Muzaling, but was afraid of being scolded.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, Muzaling gave him a sinister look.

"Why, do you also think that this general can't control these bastards?"

The adjutant dared not say anything more.

Muzaling snorted coldly and threw the secret letter in his hand onto the table.

"You are right. I must go and see that good lady."

"If I don't go, what will she think?"

When Muzhaling came to the yard, Muyan was really sewing the clothes in her hands.

She heard the noise but didn't even raise her head, continuing with what she was doing.

"Zhenzhen, did your child bother you today?"

Mu Yanzhen sneered, "General Mu actually cares about the baby in my belly?"

"I thought you had gone to another woman to have a baby since you hadn't been here for a few days!"

A murderous intent flashed in Muzaling's dark green eyes, and he clenched his fingers and tried his best to endure.

"What are you talking about? I just said it in anger that day. Don't take it to heart."

He placed a fruit basket in front of Mu Yanzhen.

Mu Yanzhen then looked up and saw a bunch of crystal clear grapes lying in the fruit basket.

It is thoughtful of Muzaling to be able to collect grapes in this season.

Mu Yanzhen felt warmth flowing in her heart, but when she thought of A Yan's death, she hardened her heart again.

I secretly cursed myself for being useless.

How could you be bought by such small favors?
Mu Yanzhen put down the half-sewn clothes in his hand and picked up the fruit basket with his index finger. "General Mu, this bunch of grapes is priceless. Mu Yanzhen is not worthy of it. Please take it back!"

She placed the fruit basket heavily on the spot where the Muzaling was and looked up at him.

He saw clearly the tenderness in Mu Yanzhen's eyes just now, which showed that Mu Yanzhen still had feelings for him.

Since they are in love, if he can lie to her once, he can lie to her a second time.

"Zhenzhen, if it's not priceless, how can I bring it to you?"

"I sent someone to buy this from a Persian merchant. I knew you liked it, so I sent it to you as soon as possible!"

He sat down in front of Mu Yanzhen, his eyes tender and affectionate.

The spark in Mu Zhaling's eyes burned along a line into Mu Yanzhen's heart.

This spark burst into splendor.

However, this bit of excitement could not offset the hatred between the two.

Mu Yanzhen closed her eyes to hide her expression.

She remembered what Yu Jia had said to her.

At that time, she came to Nanman to rescue Chang Haier.

"If I am captured, I must first pretend to surrender to calm the enemy, paralyze his nerves, and make them careless."

"Then find a chance to escape."

At that time, Mu Yanzhen sneered, "Sister, as the saying goes: A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. You are still a soldier, how can you lose your integrity?"

Yu Jia burst into laughter at her innocent tone.

"Zhenzhen, remember, nothing is worth mentioning in front of life."

"As long as I can live, what does it matter if I suffer these grievances?"

"Where there is life, there is hope!"

Mu Yanzhen opened her eyes with some cautious disbelief.

"A Ling, is that true? Are you telling the truth?"

Suddenly, her face was filled with sorrow. "Did you kill my mother?"

"If you really killed him, there will be a blood feud between us."

"Then how can I continue my relationship with you?"

Seeing that Mu Yanzhen's attitude had softened, Mu Zhaling was overjoyed.

"how come?"

"Zhenzhen, don't be provoked by the villain. Don't you still believe me?"

He was very anxious, "My mother is so good to me, how could I treat her like this?"

Mu Yanzhen was still a little hesitant, "I don't know either!"

She touched her belly with her hand and said, "Son, should I believe your father?"

Mu Zhaling reached out and grabbed Mu Yanzhen's hand, "Of course you have to believe me!"

"Who else can you trust besides me?"

"You go!"

Mu Yanzhen pulled Mu Zhaling's hand away and said, "I'm very confused. Please don't come over these few days!"

Having said that, Muzaling stayed in the yard and refused to leave.

He urgently needed to ease his relationship with Mu Yanzhen so that he could achieve his goal.

Mu Yanzhen also knew that Mu Zhaling was cautious, even sensitive and suspicious.

If she reconciled with him rashly, it would definitely arouse his suspicion.

Mu Yanzhen "struggled" and pulled, but finally chose to "follow" her heart.

Seeing that Mu Yanzhen had compromised, Mu Zhaling did not let down his guard.

He sent people to Mu Yanzhen's side.

"A Ling, where's Mammy?"

Mammy is the only person she can trust!
"Mammy was not feeling well a few days ago, so I asked her to go back and rest for a few days."

"When I recover, I will come back to take care of you!"

Mu Zhaling helped Mu Yanzhen walk across the arch bridge and looked at the bottom of the lake.

Take a rest forever and never cause trouble again!

Mu Yan felt really sad, fearing that the two of them were already separated by the Yin and Yang.

"OK then!"

Mu Yan was really forcing herself to smile. She was going to make Mu Zhaling pay her back double for this!
