Chapter 942 Rushing to the Northern Frontier
Regardless of whether the rebels succeeded in seizing the throne or the old emperor quelled the civil strife, Qiao Ran was unwilling to leave the food and gold and silver treasures to them.
The most important point is that no matter which side wins, the first thing to do in order to secure their position is to seize the internal and external troubles in the northern border and attack the Dingbei Army to resolve the major threat.
Whether it was the old emperor, Prince Ping, or other princes and nobles, they all knew very well the loyalty of the Dingbei Army to the old prince and the Dingbei Palace.
It is almost impossible to incorporate an army led by the old prince.
Therefore, in order to eliminate future troubles, the Dingbei Army must be completely destroyed!
The goal of Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan is to protect the Dingbei Army, quell the civil unrest, resolve the external threat, and even...
This process must have been extremely difficult, and material resources, financial resources, soldiers, horses, and food were all indispensable.
Therefore, instead of leaving these properties and food to these selfish, narrow-minded and intolerant dog emperors, it is better to keep them for yourself. This can not only avoid more lives being lost, but also benefit more soldiers and civilians.
After a lot of collecting, the empty space in the space was basically full.
Qiao Ran couldn't help but think of the word "mountain of gold and silver". Isn't this mountain in her own space a mountain of gold and silver filled with gold, silver, jewelry and food?
Thinking about the fact that 90 percent of the wealth and food of the entire Daiyue were in his hands, even someone as brave as Qiao Ran felt it was unreal, like a dream.
The bold Qiao Ran was not satisfied after looting gold, silver, treasures and food, and he thought of weapons.
"Should we go to the Ministry of War's warehouse again? The Dingbei Army should also be in need of good weapons, right?"
Mo Beihan looked at her suddenly and smiled helplessly.
This girl is really brave.
However, it took two or three hours to search several warehouses from the palace to the Ministry of Revenue, and by then the sky was already beginning to dawn.
If we go to the heavily guarded arsenal of the Ministry of War at this time, I'm afraid there will be no way to avoid alerting anyone.
In desperation, the two men had to give up the idea of plundering the Ministry of War and quietly left the city before dawn.
There was a pavilion ten miles away in the suburbs, where Mu Yi and Mu Er were waiting with a few horses.
Qiao Ran thought they were going to Northern Frontier together, but she never expected that Mo Beihan just said a few simple words to them and then took the reins from them.
Mu Yi and Mu Er knelt down in front of the two of them and said goodbye:
"Master, Miss Qiao, please take care of yourself on this trip! We and our brothers are waiting for your safe return. Miss Qiao, please rest assured that the safety of Qingshui Village is in our hands! Unless all of us in the Muzi Hall are wiped out, we will never let Qingshui Village lose a single person!"
Qiao Ran quickly asked people to stand up, then looked up in surprise:
"They're not going together? Just the two of us?"
Mo Beihan looked at her tenderly:
"I asked you to leave Beijing to help me with such a big favor. Beijing is about to be in chaos. I know you must be worried about your family, so I left Mu Yi and the others behind to gather information in Beijing and protect everyone in the village. Besides, we are heading to the northern border in secret. There are too many people and we will be a big target. I am afraid that our whereabouts will be discovered."
Seeing how thoughtful he was, Qiao Ran smiled with relief and gratitude.
In fact, she had already made preparations for the villagers to take refuge in the event of chaos in the capital, and she had explained everything that needed to be said to her grandmother and parents last night.
The mechanism formation of the Devil Valley has been completed for the most part. With the Mo family here, the formation can play a greater role.
Moreover, even if the mechanism array was broken, she still left the villagers with a last escape route.
However, with the presence of experts like Mu Yi and Mu Er, who can not only find out the movements in the capital in a timely manner, but also protect everyone in the village, she feels more at ease.
She took out a few bottles of medicine from her bag and stuffed them into Mu Yi and Mu Er's hands:
"These are my special wound medicines, poisons, and antidotes. Take them with you. I also left some at home. If you need them, you can ask my parents and the ghost doctor for them."
The two of them were about to kneel down to thank him again, but Qiao Ran stopped them.
Under the reluctant gazes of Mu Yi and Mu Er, the two men each got on a horse and took a few empty horses with them. These were a few extra fine horses that Mo Beihan had instructed Mu Yi and the others to bring.
After they were out of Mu Yi and Mu Er's sight, Qiao Ran put the four horses into the space so that they could take turns riding them on the road. After all, the two of them could take turns to rest in the space, and the horses also needed to take turns to rest.
Along the way, in crowded places, the two tried their best to keep one person and one horse to go forward, while the other person went into the space to rest.
When there were no people or few people around, the two of them would walk together and talk.
In this way, we can keep moving, people won't get tired, and horses won't get tired even if they take turns to rest. We can also travel day and night without wasting time and reach the northern border as quickly as possible, and our tracks will not be discovered by those who are interested.
After all, sometimes there was one person, sometimes there were two people, and they were traveling so fast, who could have thought that it was the two of them?
"You left the capital suddenly. Aren't you afraid that the emperor might be suspicious?"
At dinner time in the evening, both of them ate in the space, and the horse was also put into the space.
During the day they took turns traveling, not wasting any time, and they only ate together at dinner time.
Mo Beihan helped while Qiao Ran prepared three dishes and a soup. The two of them sat at the dining table and enjoyed their delicious dinner.
Who could have imagined that there would be such a comfortable way to stay on the road?
Not only do they have delicious meals, but they also have a comfortable big bed and even a comfortable hot bath every day.
Mo Beihan felt that Ranran's place was truly a fairy palace sent by gods. It was so comfortable that people did not want to leave at all. It would be a pleasure to live here for the rest of their lives.
Mo Beihan felt extremely happy while eating his favorite sweet and sour spareribs made by Ranran herself.
Hearing her question, he put down his chopsticks:
"I guess the emperor has heard some rumors, so he sent me to Linzhou to do some work. I asked my men to disguise themselves as me and go to Linzhou. In the past, when I needed to do something secretly away from the emperor's eyes and ears, I always asked people to disguise themselves to cover for me. This mission will take at least more than a month. The emperor deliberately sent me away, but I didn't know that it happened to be what I wanted. Leaving the capital will make it easier for me to get away."
Qiao Ran understood that Mo Beihan had been openly helping the emperor while secretly developing his own power and increasing his ability to protect himself.
"What are you going to do when you go to Northern Xinjiang this time? How are you going to deal with the Shui family and Shui Baihong?"
Qiao Ran mentioned the purpose of this trip.
A chill appeared in Mo Beihan's eyes:
"Grandpa Shui was promoted by my grandfather. Now that Grandpa Shui is dead, the younger generation of the Shui family betrayed my grandfather and poisoned him, provoking civil strife in the Dingbei Army. I guess they are also colluding with the Northern Desert Barbarians, intending to completely destroy the Dingbei Army. Both publicly and privately, the Shui family has committed unforgivable crimes, and I will never show mercy!"
Qiao Ran looked at him like this, and even though she didn't have many friends, she still felt a little sorry for him.
Shui Baihong was his only friend who he grew up with, but now he has become his mortal enemy. He must feel bad.
Although she felt that Shui Baihong was not the kind of person who did not know right from wrong, she believed that the Shui family's rebellion must have been done by the Shui couple, and he was helplessly involved.
However, betrayal is betrayal. The Shui family has committed such a huge mistake that they deserve death. As a member of the Shui family, he must also bear the due punishment.
