We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 372: Waiting for Young Master to Return

The morning sun rose, its red dawn coloring the sky crimson.

In the distant sky, white hues faintly emerged at the horizon.

In the main courtyard of the Frost Princeʼs residence, a woman wearing a nightgown lay on the bed, breathing steadily.

Even covered with a blanket, it could not conceal the womanʼs curves.

”Xiao Mo... Can you... Can you let me look at you for a lifetime?”

The man sitting at the edge of the bed recalled the words the woman had said last night, and the smile she had shown after he answered her. The corners of the manʼs mouth curved up slightly.

Taking one last look at her, Xiao Mo brushed aside the hair by her ear, tucked in her blanket properly, then stood up and walked out of the room.

”Young Master Xiao is leaving already, you really donʼt need the princess to see you off?”

Outside the room, Huasheng had already gotten up and was standing in the courtyard waiting.

”No need,” Xiao Mo shook his head and glanced back at the room, ”Last time when Siyao saw me off, she cried terribly. This time, let Siyao have a good sleep. After noon, my technique will automatically dissolve, and by the time she wakes up, Iʼll be far away.”
Huashengʼs lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end, Huasheng sighed, ”This servant understands.”

”Sister Huasheng, during these days when Iʼm not here, Iʼll have to trouble Sister Huasheng to take extra care of Siyao.”

”Taking care of Her Highness the Princess is this servantʼs duty to begin with. Comparatively speaking, please take good care of yourself, Young Master. Her Highness the Princess and this servant will be waiting for Young Master to return.”

”Mm.” Xiao Mo nodded and bowed respectfully, ”Iʼm leaving now.”

”Respectfully seeing off Young Master.” Huasheng curtsied and saw Xiao Mo off.

Xiao Mo left the Frost Princeʼs residence and then went to the Xiao Manor to bid farewell to his mother.

When Xiao Mo arrived outside the imperial capital, Xiahou Nan, Lian Li, Xiao Gui, and the others were already waiting for him.

”Depart!” Looking at everyone, Xiao Mo spoke.

Everyone cupped their fists in salute, ”Yes! General!”

Half a month later, Xiao Mo and the others arrived at the border between Qin Kingdom and Nanshan Kingdom, Fengyu City.

Before Xiao Mo arrived, Fengyu City had already clashed with Chu Kingdomʼs army several times.

Although the lord of Fengyu City had managed to defend the city, each time was extremely brutal, and the city lord always felt that Fengyu City could be breached at any moment.

If even the city lord felt this way, how much confidence could the soldiers below have?

It could be said that with the morale of Fengyu Cityʼs soldiers, if Xiao Mo had arrived two days later, Fengyu City might have already fallen.

Therefore, when the lord of Fengyu City saw Xiao Mo, he was so moved he almost cried. To the city lord, Xiao Mo was now dearer than his own biological father.

The city lord immediately transferred military authority to Xiao Mo and when the soldiers of Fengyu City heard that the Frost Prince who had never lost a battle had arrived, everyoneʼs spirits lifted.

After the war that destroyed Zhei Kingdom, the two words ”Frost Prince” had become almost universally known, and even stories about Xiao Mo had been adapted in various ways.

In the hearts of these soldiers, Xiao Mo was nearly no different from a deity.

At the same time, Li Jing and Zhao Guang from the Northern Frontier army led two hundred thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry along with five hundred thousand Northern Frontier infantry.

Adding Fengyu Cityʼs original forces and soldiers assembled from nearby major provinces, Xiao Mo now commanded a total of one million troops!

The next day, Chu Kingdomʼs army attacked the city again.

Xiao Mo no longer defended from within the city.

Since he had an army of one million, it wasnʼt just about defending the city.

Otherwise, that would be too pathetic.

The Qin Kingdom’s ruler wanted Xiao Mo to destroy Nanshan Kingdom and then take one or two major provinces from Chu Kingdom but Xiao Mo wanted more!

Just as Chu Kingdomʼs army was attacking the city vigorously, Fengyu Cityʼs gates opened.

Chu Kingdomʼs great general Long Yuan saw a man holding a white spear, wearing a Shura mask, riding a snow-treading horse charging straight out.

Behind him were famous generals like Xiahou Nan, Lian Li, Zhao Guang, and Li Jing.

Under Xiao Moʼs command, the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry charged first, directly shattering the battlefield, followed by infantry surging into the battle.

The moment Xiao Mo swung his spear, phantoms of the ten ancient fierce beasts, Taotie, Qiongqi, Xiangliu, Hundun, and others leaped from Xiao Moʼs spear and pounced toward Chu Kingdomʼs army.

Xiao Mo fought continuously on the battlefield, and wherever he went, enemy troops were utterly destroyed.

These ancient fierce beasts were like guardian deities protecting Xiao Moʼs side.

Xiahou Nan, Lian Li, and the others each led a contingent of Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry, attacking Chu Kingdomʼs central army from different directions.

The Northern Frontier infantry followed closely behind in military formation.

In less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the Northern Frontier army had gained an enormous advantage.

As for the soldiers from Fengyu City and other major provinces, although they couldnʼt fight disadvantageous battles, couldnʼt they handle such an advantageous situation?

Under the bravery of the Northern Frontier army, they too charged forward, afraid that their military merits would be snatched away by the Northern Frontier army.

The unprepared Chu Kingdom armyʼs morale was on the verge of collapse.

Long Yuan sensed something was wrong and immediately sounded the gong to withdraw troops.

Xiao Mo led his army in pursuit for twenty li, slaying another seventy thousand men before leading his troops back to the city.

The more Long Yuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he thought about it.

As a veteran general of Chu Kingdom, although Long Yuan couldnʼt say he had never lost a battle, no matter what, he shouldnʼt be handled by that young brat!

Long Yuan wanted to regroup and fight Xiao Mo properly. However, who would have known that very night, Xiao Mo led his army to attack his camp.

Long Yuan could only lead his remaining troops to retreat to Liao City in Nanshan Kingdom.

In less than three days, the offensive and defensive positions had reversed.

Chu armyʼs commander-in-chief Gongsun Shi had anticipated that Long Yuan would be no match for Xiao Mo, but he hadnʼt expected him to be defeated so quickly. However, it didnʼt matter.

The Chu army was advancing in three routes, but could Xiao Mo split himself into three people?

Gongsun Shi dispatched reinforcements to Long Yuan, only asking him to hold off Xiao Mo. Meanwhile, the other two armies that had been prepared long ago were led by famous Chu Kingdom generals, bypassing Fengyu City to attack the border cities of Xia City and Tiansi City.

Xiao Mo also immediately responded by having Xiahou Nan lead an army to meet with that famous Chu Kingdom general named Zhao Yang but that other great Chu Kingdom general named Wu Qi was even more formidable. Xiao Mo couldnʼt make up his mind for a while.

”If the general trusts me, within thirty days, this subordinate will surely take Wu Qiʼs head and present it to Your Highness!” In the military tent, Li Jing cupped his fists and said loudly.

”Why trouble General Li to take action? I only need fifty thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry and one hundred thousand infantry to surely defeat Wu Qi!” Zhao Guang also shouted.

”This subordinate is willing to resist Wu Qi and will certainly not fail the generalʼs trust.” Lian Li also volunteered.

Looking at them, Xiao Mo always felt it wasnʼt quite enough.

It wasnʼt that Xiao Mo felt they would definitely be defeated by Wu Qi, but rather he felt that although they could hold off Wu Qi, they might not be able to repel him.

Finally, Xiao Mo looked toward Bai Qi, who was standing at the back of the tent.

After just one year of accumulating military merits, Bai Qi had already become a Thousand-Man Commander. Looking at the entire history of Qin Kingdom, his promotion speed was second only to Xiao Moʼs, and this Thousand-Man Commander position was personally appointed by the Northern Pacification Prince.

Noticing Xiao Moʼs gaze, Bai Qi seemed to understand something, his eyes flashing with excited light.

”Bai Qi.” Xiao Mo made up his mind, ”You will be the main general, with Lian Li and Zhao Guang as your deputy generals. You go deal with Wu Qi.”
