The 79th war is imminent

  The three of them each had their own thoughts as they ate lunch. Yan'er had been sleeping since she arrived at the inn yesterday, and she slept for a whole day and night, which showed what kind of life she had been living these days.

  "Can we go now?" Guan Canghai saw Yan'er finish eating and stop moving her chopsticks.

  "Hmm." He glanced at Baili Muru and suddenly reached out to grab her hand, exerting some force to press it.

  Watching the vast ocean, he doesn't say a word. If he can win back Baili Mingwei through his face, it wouldn't be a bad thing. However, Baili Mingwei has always been loyal to Pan Yueyang, so he will still have some reservations about him and won't open up his heart. It's all because there is a face that can restrain Baili Mingwei, this person doesn't pose a threat to himself and definitely won't help Pan Yueyang.

  "I understand." Baili Muru awkwardly stood up, protecting Yan'er's back, and the three of them, with two fast horses and a horse carriage, rushed towards Nanmen Yuecheng.

  Three people rushed to hurry on the road, so they slept wherever they went at night, most of the time in the wild. Two men with high martial arts skills could sleep by leaning against a tree, while Yan slept in the carriage. At this time, it was already late May, and they were heading south, so sleeping outdoors wasn't too uncomfortable for Yan. Except for the one bath she took previously, she had been following the two big men on the road for over ten days. Tonight, Yan couldn't sleep, so she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the two men leaning against two trees each. She shook her head and put down the curtain.

  Early or late, she had to tell Baili Moye about her own affairs. She could hide it for a while, but not forever. If Baili found out later, the consequences might be even more severe. Yan'er was thinking about finding an opportunity to tell Baili about what happened that night under the mountain cliff.

  In the blink of an eye, the three had arrived at Moon City. With just three more days to go, they would reach the capital of Tianfeng Nation - Tianzhao City.

  "You can just stay in Moon City." Guan Canghai looked at Yan'er's face.

  "Am I not going back to Tian Chao City with you?" Yan'er looked calmly at Guan Canghai, who seemed increasingly anxious the closer they got to Tian Feng.

  "I've just ascended to the throne, and it's probably not suitable for me to suddenly bring you into the palace from outside." Guan Canghai thought about many things.

  "Hmph, another weak-willed man, having experienced the cowardly side of men, I coldly smiled to myself."

  "Don't think too much, at this moment the Tian Dynasty is gathering its forces to prepare for war against Pan Long. I'll take you back and place you in the rear palace. I won't be able to take care of you personally, it's safer for you in the Moon City. If...you can ensure the child's safety." Guan Canghai had grand ambitions but couldn't help but consider the consequences of victory or defeat.

  Her face showed understanding of Cang Hai's thoughts in his heart, and she gently nodded: "Everything will be alright."

  Her face felt that Guan Canghai's words made her feel a bit better, at least what he said was very right. The war is imminent, if she were in the imperial palace, this battle would be easy to win, but if they lost, it would be a disaster. If they failed, Tianfeng might be annexed by Panlong country, and when the army occupied the imperial palace of Tianfeng, her own fate would not be much better. Moreover, if Guan Canghai was not by her side during this period, she could find an opportunity to explain things to Baili Muyue.

  Guan Canghai brought Yan'er and Baili Mu to a large mansion, it seems that Guan Canghai had already made plans for himself, otherwise why would he rush to this house as soon as he entered the Moon City.

  "Mu Bai, I have something to tell you." Yan'er said as she walked into the room.

  ——

  Looking out at the vast ocean, he rode his swift horse back to the Heavenly City. As soon as he entered the palace, his newly appointed Prime Minister Li Zuo requested an audience.

  "Cang Hai, where have you been all this time?" Li Zuo had always supported him in his ascension to the throne, and now was a crucial moment. Cang Hai's sudden disappearance would lead to another dead end for Tian Feng, who was already an emperor and shouldn't be so capricious.

  "I went out to take care of some things, has anything big happened in the past few days?" Guan Canghai flipped through the memorials on his desk, all of which had been reviewed by Li Zuo on his behalf.

  "There's nothing major to worry about now, our troops have already gathered and deployed, just waiting for the order to launch a full-scale attack on Panlong." Li looked at Guan Canghai with confidence.

  "Are you going to lead the troops yourself?" Guan Canghai looked at Li Zuo's appearance as if that was what he meant.

  "Didn't you already meet Pan Yu Yang last time? Am I not still unfamiliar with this so-called Dragon Plate God General?" Li Zuo looked at Guan Canghai with a hint of arrogance.

  "This time out, the martial brother with high martial arts skills beside Pan Yu Yang will not be able to fight." This is also Guan Canghai's greatest gain on this trip. As for Yan Er, he likes her, but official business takes precedence over a woman.

  "Oh? That's unexpected, but I've only heard you mention this person and haven't actually met them." Li was not one to concede easily.

  "I never speak lightly, the details of this trip will be discussed later, pass down the order, tomorrow we will review the troops and prepare to set out, this time I will take the field myself." Guan Yu stood up.

  "Impossible!" The last time, Li Zuo was worried to death: "You are now the emperor of a country, if something happens to Tian Feng, there will be no one to guard."

  "Our goal is to swallow Pan Long whole! If we fail, then let Pan Long swallow us in one mouthful. Victory or defeat will be decided in this one battle!" The waters of the Cang Hai have always only had two choices: life or death.

  "You're too impulsive!" Li Zu angrily flung open his sleeves.

  "I've always had a sense of proportion in what I do!" He would never do something that wouldn't work out, having observed the vastness of the ocean.

  "What about the Moon City affair? Pan Yu Yang simply delayed and easily recovered Moon City without losing a single soldier, how do you explain that?" Li Zuo was very concerned about the previous battle at Moon City. If he had led the troops, Moon City would have been an easy capture.

  "Lure the enemy into a trap." A hint of evil appeared on the inscrutable face of Guan Canghai.

  Li Zuo blinked his eyes, looking at Guan Canghai, silently turned around and left the imperial study room. If Guan Canghai had made up his mind to do something, there was no point in saying anything more.

  "I have something to tell you truthfully, Mo Bai." Yan'er looked at Baili Mo Bai with a serious expression, her chest heavy with suppressed breathing.

  "Yan'er, I've always felt that you're hiding something from me," Baili Muru wasn't stupid, it's just that he had always been indulgent towards Yan'er due to his youthful infatuation.

  "You can't go help Yu Yang." Yan Er said a sentence that was completely unrelated.

  "What's the reason?" Baili Muru knew it wasn't just a simple matter of whether or not to help his senior brother.

  "My child is indeed Mochizuki's. " Her face stroked her belly, revealing a maternal glow: "But he is also Kanzaki's."

  For a moment, Bai Mu was stunned and stared blankly at Qian's face, quickly analyzing the meaning of his words in her mind: "You said you guys..."

  "I know you can't accept this fact." Yan'er raised her head and gazed out the window: "I don't want to accept it either, it happened on that night when I was taken away by him."

  "I'll go kill him!" Ba Li Mu Bai furiously stood up, he wouldn't allow Yan's purity to be tainted by any man other than his senior brother.

  "Can you change the fact by killing him?!" Yan'er also stood up, she didn't stop Mu Bai, but instead growled lowly behind him.

  "What can we do now!" Bai Li Mu's eyes turned red.

  "Sit down." Seeing Baili Mengbai calm down a bit, he felt relieved.

  Baili Muru slammed back into his seat, clenching his fists and glaring at Yan'er. He really couldn't understand how Yan'er, who was so kind and innocent without any guile, could have such an unfortunate fate. A surge of nameless anger welled up in his heart for Yan'er's sake.

  "Alas, I've been through too much and I'm no longer the gentle and simple Wanwan of the past. No matter how kind and pure one is, it's no match for the worldly devouring. I had thought of a countermeasure long ago." Yan'er looked at Baili Mu Bai's expression and slowly spoke: "Since that night by the Cang Hai River, he was certain that the child was his, which coincidentally fulfilled my plan. As for Yueshang, he is powerless against me, but if only he had been brave enough to stand up and truly protect me, I, Yan'er, wouldn't have fallen into this situation time and again. The matter of the child, Yueshang doesn't know about it, not because I intentionally hid it from him, but because there was no opportunity to tell him..." Yan'er picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of water: "During this period, based on my understanding, Panlong and Tianfeng will inevitably clash. Guan Canghai's ambition is clear as day, while Panlong only has Yueshang alone to resist, with no other great generals in the army who can contend against Guan Canghai. Therefore, you must go help your Shixiong. However, Mu Bai, can you calm down? Let's not discuss for now who will win or lose this battle, but whoever loses will suffer greatly. I must ensure my own safety and give birth to this child for Yueshang!"

  "You've said so much but it all boils down to telling me not to help Shixiong." Baili Murong snorted in disdain.

  "I've said all this so you can understand that I'm leaving behind the only bloodline for your senior brother!" Yan Er looked at Baili Mu Bai, her eyes shining with sincerity.

  "Senior brother will not lose." Baili Murong looked at Yan'er with pride.

  "Not necessarily! The world of Panlong is not under the rule of Moyang, it belongs to Xuan Emperor. That foolish ruler has been in power for so many years and done countless absurd things, aren't you aware? I, Yan'er, am naturally kind-hearted and don't like to make enemies, but how did I end up in this situation? Don't you understand, and doesn't your Shifu's sister understand either? If I, Yan'er, had done something that harmed the heavens and defied reason, why would your Shifu's sister suffer a branding for my sake?" Yan'er slammed down her teacup in agitation.

  "I... " Xue Qing had told him about Yan'er's encounter, and he also knew that the royal family could harm Yan'er for a trivial matter of favoritism without regard for good or evil. He was originally a Jianghu person, and court affairs had nothing to do with him.

  "You have nothing to say, right?" Yan'er smiled faintly: "Protect me, for the sake of Moyang's descendants, whether it succeeds or fails is not something we common people can decide. For the sake of this child, help me raise him together, okay? Muran." Yan'er knelt halfway on the floor, looking up at Baili Muran.

  "Xiaoli, I've had something on my mind that I haven't told you, Oulan is also pregnant."
