Chapter 946: Chapter 211: Cannot Be Accommodated by the World_4

At dawn, Mo Heng’s army had already cleared the corpses from both banks of the Huanghe River.

The rolling waters of the Huanghe continued eastward, waves churning as if the battle of the previous night had never happened.

The soldiers of the Mortar Barracks couldn’t help but feel proud, "The General’s brilliant strategy was truly unparalleled! We wiped out Wa Ci’s army of a hundred thousand without breaking a sweat!"

The victorious report traveled at an extraordinary speed to Emperor Chu Wen’s hands in Runing Prefecture.

After the great victory on the Huanghe battleground, the army had advanced and crushed Wa Ci’s main force. Emperor Chu Wen immediately issued an edict to personally summon Pei Qin.

Huaiqing Mansion was reclaimed and had become a safe place. Emperor Chu Wen couldn’t resist the urge to visit Huaiqing Mansion himself.

When Pei Qin received the decree, her whole face twisted with anxiety. If the Emperor really accused her of treason when the moment came, would she, who had just started to enjoy a few carefree days, be facing execution!?

Dou He, seeing her tangled expression, hurried over in concern, "Being summoned by the Emperor is a great honor. Han San, you have nothing to fear. You are a meritorious subject, the Emperor will surely reward you!"

"What if the Emperor rewards me with a wife!?" Pei Qin played with her telescope.

Dou He was taken aback. If the Emperor really rewarded him with a wife, then he... He would have to marry her! The thought of that scene made him uncomfortably uneasy. But seeing that Pei Qin was clearly reluctant, an idea shocked him, "If the Emperor bestows a wife upon you, that would be a marvelous thing! You couldn’t possibly be... " Could it be Mo Heng had seduced her, and she had taken a fancy to him!?

"I have someone I like!" Pei Qin, holding her telescope, gazed towards the mountaintop.

Dou He froze completely, his blood seemingly turning to ice. Han San... Really fell for Mo Heng!?

Pei Qin jumped down from the city wall, called out a greeting, and went to find Mo Heng. She definitely couldn’t ignore the Emperor’s summons and needed to consult with him for a strategy. Otherwise, she would be scolded again for not discussing things with him and making decisions on her own.

Coming down from the city wall, Dou He inquired about Pei Qin’s whereabouts and, learning she had gone to find Mo Heng, his face darkened and he immediately followed.

Having just reclaimed Huaiqing Mansion, there were many complex affairs that needed attention and repair.

Feng Wei and the others had all been dispatched.

Dou He hurried over, and Pei Qin’s personal soldiers didn’t stop him, so he went straight in through the door.

Upon entering, he saw Mo Heng with one hand on Pei Qin’s ear, rubbing and stroking in a very teasing and frivolous manner. He strode forward, "Han San! You... " How could you be seduced by this pretty boy!? You were fine before, how could you like a man!? Even if you liked men, you should, should like... someone else...

In an instant, Dou He nearly jumped in shock. He actually felt that Pei Hansan should like him, could it be that he had also begun to like men!? But he had never liked men before; even though Mo Heng was so beautiful, he didn’t have feelings for him, yet had them for Pei Hansan, this dark-skinned boy!?

Mo Heng watched his changing expressions with a sharp gaze, "Dou He!"

Dou He turned abruptly, confronting his piercing eyes, and then meeting Pei Qin’s clear, expectant gaze. He suddenly felt the urge to flee, dropping the words, "Whenever you go to see the Emperor, make sure everything is prepared. You need to hurry!" And with that, he left in a rush.

"What’s wrong with him?" Pei Qin turned and asked.

Mo Heng gazed at her, his anger wanting to manifest as gritted teeth and even more to take a few bites out of her. She had painted herself so dark, yet still managed to attract unwanted attention! However, Mo Heng, angry as he was, decided not to tell Pei Qin about Dou He’s thoughts, as it would only make her pay more attention to him, "He probably thinks you should go see the Emperor together." Blackening her.

Pei Qin nodded, understanding that most commanding officers who lead troops into battle wanted to establish meritorious deeds and have their spouse ennobled and children granted imperial favor. This was completely understandable. As for herself, "Let’s pack up and go see the Emperor. If there’s to be a beheading, whether I accept it or resist, the outcome is the same!"

"Hmm!" Mo Heng had already made thorough preparations to ensure that even if Emperor Chu Wen was inclined, he wouldn’t dare harm Pei Qin in the slightest.
