Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The most important thing in Chapter 869 is to capture the Ink King alive.

Chu Yueli finally realized that this Master Mo was actually the prince's strategist.

She guessed that the person below was most likely Yuwen Shu.

When Yuwen Shu spoke with Master Mo, he specifically used the Central Plains dialect to communicate with him, which shows how highly respected Master Mo was in Yuwen Shu's heart.

However, just by looking at his analysis of the reasons for the Northern Cavalry's march, Chu Yueli knew that they had indeed met their match this time.

Master Mo is a talented individual, not someone to be trifled with easily.

Yuwen Shu looked at Master Mo and asked, "Then, in your opinion, what should I do now? Should I immediately send troops to meet the enemy?"

"No need. They're the ones coming this time. We just need to stay put."

Master Mo smiled and said dismissively, "Although Lu Xiao's Northern Cavalry is formidable, this is the northern part of Sukulu. There are many mud pits and depressions in the north. If you're not careful, you can fall into a mud pit and not be able to get out, and die in the depths of the mud."

"In this terrain, whoever moves will die first. They're courting death. We can just watch the show. If we engage in battle, we'll fall into their trap and turn our advantage into a disadvantage."

Yuwen Shu nodded. "Yes, that makes sense. They're clearly courting death by coming here."

Chu Yueli, perched atop the tent, was somewhat alarmed. This Master Mo was even more intelligent than she had imagined.

Master Mo added, "They're probably just trying to scare us. They won't actually come to the north until Lu Beimo goes back."

An army needs a leader. With Prince Mo absent, the brothers' morale is low, and how can they win a battle?

"Unless Lu Beimo is actually found and brought back by them, the Northern Cavalry will not pose any threat for the time being."

"But I've heard that Lu Beimo's princess has arrived. Strategist, tell me, does this woman pose any threat to us?"

Upon hearing this, Master Mo laughed loudly, "What threat could a mere woman pose? Her elder brother, Chu Xiaohe, is the commander of the Chu family army, yet he fell for our trap. Before long, Chu Xiaohe will be one of ours. At that time, the Chu family army will be in danger, and neither will the Northern Cavalry Army!"

"But I've also heard that this Miss Li is far more capable than her brother." Yuwen Shu was still somewhat uneasy.

He traveled all the way from Daghanlu League, and there absolutely cannot be any loss on his part.

He wouldn't have come to this place if it weren't for capturing Lu Beimo alive.

If anything goes wrong after leaving his military camp to come here, his Daganlu Alliance will definitely be seized by that fellow Yelü Xiu.

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry about Princess Mo. The most important thing right now is to capture Lu Beimo. As long as Prince Mo is in our hands, why should we be afraid that the Northern Cavalry won't obey us?"

That finally got to the point.

Chu Yueli, who was lying on top of the tent, immediately perked up her ears.

Master Mo then said, "Given the terrain of Wansui Valley, if you want to..."

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a soldier's voice came from outside: "Assassin!"

Chu Yue felt a tightness in her chest, a mixture of resentment and anxiety.

She didn't know who the assassin who had been discovered was, but she could no longer stay here.

But they were so close! They were about to reveal the location of the Ink King!

Yuwen Shu strode out of the tent and roared, "Kill them all without mercy!"

Chaos erupted around them. Chu Yueli took a deep breath and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, suddenly leaped up and quickly moved away.
