Chapter 167: Killing Enemies - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

 Chapter 167: Killing Enemies

"Old Hong, you better go back to your Southwest. I heard your son is about to marry, and you, a soon-to-be grandfather, why are you competing with us for the limelight? My lord, let me go instead. As you know about the relationship between my Su family and the Feng family, my father was also a general stationed in the northwest in his early years. With him there, the northwest will not fall!"

Su Cheng spoke earnestly. His words were not without reason; General Su was currently stationed in Lingzhou, guarding the safety of the Eastern Capital along with the officials from the Capital Region. However, if trouble arose in the northwest, the Su family would naturally step forward to fight.

"Su Cheng, you seem to have been slacking off. My son has not yet married a new bride, where did you get this talk about grandfathers and grandchildren!"

His eyebrows raised, making a gesture to duel.

"Tsk tsk, I heard that Young Master Su is a famous dandy in the Eastern Capital. Do you still remember how to wield a sword and kill enemies? Don't end up scaring yourself away when facing the Di Rong people, the scene will be ugly."

This was said by Mochun, very quick-witted with his tongue, especially when dealing with others.

He was known for his aggressive insults on the battlefield, having once mocked the enemy's generals so severely that they spat blood.

"How can you have such a sharp tongue? No wonder at your age, you still don't have a family. You're one of the few bachelors in the Ding Wang army. You have time to worry about me getting a chance to kill enemies, but you'd better worry about your own lifelong affairs. When the day comes that you die, there won't even be anyone to mourn your grave!"

Su Cheng retorted unwillingly but was interrupted by Yang Zhao.

"Enough jokes in front of war matters."

With one shout, the three of them quieted down.

Even though they challenged each other, none dared to act rashly. After all, Yang Zhao had been with the Prince for the longest time. What he learned or did not learn was unpredictable, but his methods were something they all witnessed. It was better not to provoke him.

Xiao Tingyi stared at the map of the Northwest's geographic location for a while before slowly saying, "There's no need to argue. Xiao Ji is most suitable for settling the unrest in the Northwest."

Xiao Ji was the second uncle of Xiao Mu Qian, the legitimate second son of Prince Kang's mansion, stationed in the Northwest Liangzhou for many years, understanding the local terrain and customs the most. With him stationed there, the Northwest was unlikely to be chaotic.

However, inevitably, there were others in the court who kept an eye on this piece of fat, such as the ninth prince, who was known for his military exploits, and the party that advocated for him.

They were looking forward to a war to consolidate the ninth prince's position in court.

"My lord, General Xiao Ji has not returned to the capital and is still in Liangzhou. With his insight, he's afraid he already knows the Di Rong's intentions. That's the military report at His Majesty's place..."

Yang Zhao asked, needing to handle the military report in advance, and maybe could prepare early.

"No, send my military order to the Iron Eagle Team to depart immediately for the Northwest to assist General Xiao Ji. With him there, the Northwest will not be broken. Also, let Xiao Muqian prepare early. He is a capable warrior under General Xiao Ji and should lead the reinforcements. There is hope for the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty in the Northwest."

After the order was issued, everyone responded loudly.

No one questioned the orders of the Ding Wang, because in the eyes of all the soldiers from Ding Wang, the Ding Wang was their god. Even if they knew it was a dead end ahead, they would not be afraid to advance, and they would treat death as home!

Moreover, the Iron Eagle Team sent out this time was the most mysterious army in the Ding Wang army. Even Yang Zhao only knew how to contact them. He had never met them, indicating how secretive their work was.

Except for the Ding Wang himself, no one in the world knew how many people were in this army, what military equipment they had, where they practiced military exercises, but they only knew that the Iron Eagle Team did not easily leave the mountain and had never been defeated once they came out.

With them, the Northwest of the Great Jin was safe.

When Su Cheng delivered the message to Xiao Mu Qian's hands, his face was solemn, without saying a word.

"My lord, when will we start?"

"Not yet, the military report has not yet reached the capital."

Xiao Mu Qian was a bit anxious to hear that. Although Xiao Ji was his second uncle, he had grown up with him in Liangzhou for many years, and they were as close as father and son. His uncle had never married or had children. At first, he had jokingly said that he would let Xiao Mu Qian take over his ambitions and guard the peace in a place like the Great Jin in the northwest.

But now, at a time of crisis in the northwest, he was far away, and he was starting to worry.

Su Cheng knew what he was thinking and patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Don't worry. My lord has already sent the Iron Eagle Team to reinforce first. With them there, they can protect the Northwest and General Xiao Ji. You should prepare well in the capital. My lord said that the reinforcements this time might be led by the ninth prince."

"The ninth prince?"

Although Xiao Mu Qian was incredulous, he thought of the so-called military exploits he had achieved in recent years, and if he really sent him, it would not be surprising.

"The people under the Duke of Wei have always been fighting for credit, making others fight to the death, and finally cutting the last knife themselves. All the credit goes to the ninth prince. Unfortunately, the Majesty is high up, and many things are not heard."

How the ninth prince's merits were obtained, these military people knew best.

It is feared that in order to greedily obtain the merits, the reinforcements were delayed, and it was feared that the death of his uncle and the soldiers of the Northwest would come to a point where nothing would be left but the Di Rong army.

"I know, you tell His Majesty that I will be ready here."

"Well."

Xiao Mu Qian would 'join' under the Ding Wang's mansion, purely by accident.

Su Cheng spent these years seemingly running around the streets of the Eastern Capital, but in fact, he had pulled in several ambitious young people and served as the Ding Wang's mansion.

With Xiao Mu Qian, with Feng Jinlin, of course, others.

It's just that they don't know each other's identity.

As night fell, the lights of the thousands of families in the Eastern Capital gradually lit up, and the Yunqi Acade!y on the mountain, Feng Yunhe and still studying hard in the room.

Following the academy, I learned what is outside the sky, people outside people.

He prided himself on being smart and clever from an early age, with praise for everything he learned and thought of, but it was unexpected that several young aristocratic sons younger than him would have memorized the Fourteen History Books of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, he would not give up every day and night.

When Yin Canwen and Feng Jinlin went to school, they returned to the house and saw his serious expression, shaking his head and swaying through the Fourteen History Books, without a hint of joking, serious and admirable.

"Yunhe, come and eat something. I heard that after school, you haven't eaten at the dining hall and rushed back to carry this thing, right?"

"Second uncle, I'm not hungry. I'll memorize this article soon. It's not too late to eat after I finish memorizing it!"
