Chapter 1012: Metamorphosis 86

ould guarantee that Liu, the deputy general, would be loyal to him.Dugu Cheng said dejectedly, "Even so, you can't just shove me like this into her arms. You know I don't like concubines, I only like...After Empress Cen's death, the entire Great Yuan Dynasty underwent a massive purge. Dugu Xiu, seeking to eliminate all of Empress Cen's loyalists, rounded them up and disposed of them under various pretexts, causing discontent among court officials. However, this discontent quickly coalesced into a new force.

The disposed confidants turned against each other, flocking to King Su Dugu Su and rebelling against the tyranny of Dugu Xiu.

Amidst the turmoil in the court, Empress Dowager Cen passed away. Those nations that had been eyeing the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty began to stir once more. In Linxi County, Duke Dugu stood firm, and the surrounding small countries and tribes naturally dared not move against him. However, other places were a different story altogether.

After the death of Empress Dowager, Dugu Xiu's tyranny triggered civil war. Before internal strife could be quelled, external threats arose again.

"Fourth King, the Emperor's tyranny is an excellent opportunity."

General Li spoke, at this Linxi County military camp meeting, Dugu City showed no intention of returning to the capital at all.

"General Li, there is King Su in the capital. This time when I returned to the capital, it was to take advantage of the situation. What does King Su think What does the Emperor think Besides, since ancient times, there has been an order of seniority. Even if the throne rotates, it wouldn't reach me."

Dugu City's eyes sank slightly, "Furthermore, the Third Prince did indeed hold an imperial edict to support this king at the time, but now, how things truly stand, General Li must also see clearly. Returning to the capital at this time is tantamount to proclaiming to the world that this king plots treason."

General Li was extremely annoyed, "I'll have to wait for a long time again."

"General Li, what's truly frightening isn't this itself, but being used by them, becoming their pawn."

Feng Yu Mo opened his mouth, “As everyone can see, the current situation is clear. The throne will undoubtedly go to King Su. While Third Prince Dugu Yu appears to be agreeing with King Su on the surface, I believe everyone knows what he truly thinks.”

Dugu Cheng nodded in approval. In these years, Yu Mo had learned a lot from General Li. This calm demeanor made him even more admirable.

"This subordinate's thoughts were lacking, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Dugu City raised his hand, "General Li, there's no need to be so polite. Since this is a discussion, there's nothing we can't say. Besides, General Li is doing this for my own good. It's just that the timing isn't right. We won't interfere in this struggle."

"The surrounding area is in chaos, should we send troops to quell it"

Wind Feather Ink thought that the wars raging around had caused great suffering for the common people. Finding a place of peace and safety had become nearly impossible.

"What I mean is, we shall turn a blind eye to border disturbances and court affairs. Let them run their course."

This great Yuan Dynasty was founded by his father, and he guards the empire. As for the court, he doesn't care about it at all.

"The last general obeys."

General Li received the order, and Feng Yu Mo spoke up, "Brother-in-law, this time going out to quell the unrest, can I go out to hone my skills I haven't had any real combat experience during this time following General Li. I want to gain some."

Upon hearing this from Feng Yu Mo, General Li burst into laughter.

"My lord, this is quite possible. The young general is exceptionally intelligent. If given time, he will surely become an excellent military commander."

Feng Yu Mo's face was filled with excitement. He remembered General Li's cultivation grace deeply. He wanted to become strong, a true general, to repay his sister and brother-in-law for their promotion.

"Since you have the heart for it, I grant you permission to lead troops to quell the disturbances. Remember, and remember well, do not alarm the populace, do not linger in battle, put the well-being of the people above all else."

Feng Yu Mo's face was full of joy, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Feng Yumo's news of setting out for war quickly reached Feng Lingxi's ears. Upon learning this, Feng Yumo had already come to her family estate to apologize to her. To Feng Lingxi, his older sister, Feng Yumo truly treated her as his own blood sister.

"Sister, Yumo will be fine on this expedition, I guarantee it. Not even a single hair will be missing."

"Just as I thought, a tightwad."

Feng Yu Mo let out a sly grin, seeing that his sister wasn't angry. He hurried forward to help, "Sister, you can't blame your brother-in-law. This time, I volunteered to go on this campaign. You promised me before, remember That I would become a general. I'm not a child anymore. I've learned a lot from General Li. Now it's time for me to gain some experience."

"Your sister didn't blame you, she just wants you to take good care of yourself."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Yumo, "Don't let me and grandpa worry."

Speaking of grandpa, Feng Yu Mo only just remembered that a while ago his grandpa said he wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be coming here, staying at home to recuperate. And he hadn't had time to go back and see him.

"Sister, when I return this time, let's go back and see Grandpa, shall we He wrote a letter saying he wasn't feeling well and couldn't travel long distances. Let's go see him and take Wan'er along."

"Okay."

Feng Ling Xi patted Feng Yu Mo's head, "Remember what you promised your elder sister, be sure to take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, sister. Yumo will take good care of himself."

Looking at the excitement in his eyes, Feng Lingxi knew that Yu Mo had always wanted to be a great general like Dugu City these years, but he never had the chance. Now that the opportunity has come, he must want to go through trials and tribulations.

"Uncle."

Wan'er called out in a sweet voice, appearing before them at some point. She hugged Feng Yumo's big leg. Feng Yumo was taken aback and bent down to pick up Wan'er. Looking at Wan'er's smiling face, he felt an indescribable happiness.

"Sister, this Wan'er really looks like you."

When Waner heard Feng Yumo's words, she didn't get angry at all. She giggled and hugged Feng Yumo's neck.

"An An."

"Good girl!"

Feng Yu Mo kissed her on the cheek, his eyes full of tenderness, "Your uncle will definitely come back safely. Wan'er has to listen to mother and father, and wait for your uncle to come back before playing with you."

Wan'er glanced at Feng Lingxi, nodded, hugged Feng Yumo's neck, and kissed his face.

"Your Highness, how did Wan'er get here In the blink of an eye, she was gone."

Wan'er looked at Feng Yu Mo holding Wan'er in his arms, panting heavily.

"Shy, silly."

Wan'er made a silly face at Xiao Li, her playful expression making Xiao Li stomp her feet in annoyance.

"Next time like this, I won't play with you."

Wan'er was not afraid at all. She continued to make faces at Xiao Li. Her adorable appearance made Feng Yu Mo even more doting. He stroked Wan'er's head and said, "Wan'er, you can't run around next time. There are many outsiders outside. You have to stay within their sight. Otherwise, your elder sister and brother-in-law will be worried."

Wan'er obediently nodded, looking at Feng Yu Mo, rubbing against him and planting a kiss on his handsome face, "Like, uncle."

"Uncle also likes Wan'er."

Feng Yu Mo heard Wan'er say this, feeling extremely good.

"Sister, Wan'er is so adorable. Grandfather will surely be very happy to see her."

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er. Although Wan'er was close to her and willing to play with her, she still refused to call her "mama." Even though she was almost one year and three months old, she hadn't called her "mama" yet.

"It's been a while since I last saw Grandpa. I miss him a bit."

This General's Mansion is quite splendid now, General Feng Aotian truly brings glory to the family. However, besides Feng Yuxi and Feng Yihao, there are no other people left in this General's Mansion.
