Chapter 976 is extremely disadvantageous to us.
"Mo'er, please don't take offense, your third uncle is just..." Chu Yihang, who was usually not good with words, was somewhat anxious at this moment.
Huo Qing quickly smiled and said, "Mo'er didn't mean anything by it. You haven't known him for long and don't know his feelings. In fact, Mo'er has no desire for power. If possible, he would rather go back to the Northern Frontier with Ali and Bao'er to live a peaceful life."
Huo Qing's words immediately made things clear to Chu Yihang.
Chu Yihang laughed and said, "Then I won't hide anything. If the Emperor makes things difficult for you, the Duke's Mansion and the Prince of Mo's Mansion don't need to linger. Just take Consort Yu back to the Northern Frontier or go to Southern Mongolia."
"No matter what Mo'er does in the future, my Chu family army will definitely provide full support and have no other intentions!"
The phrase "without any ulterior motives" clearly expresses their stance.
The Emperor chilled their hearts. Back then, the Chu family army was completely wiped out, and the general defending Dingzhou disappeared without a trace. In the end, the Emperor did not pursue the matter any further.
With no reinforcements arriving, the Chu family army died in battle without explanation.
The soldiers who were devoted to the country have yet to be recognized, and many are buried far from home, their bravery unknown even after their deaths.
The emperor never intended to give them any honor; this is an eternal regret and pain for the soldiers.
Now, it was Mo Wang and his sister Chu Yueli who came in person to protect this territory.
From now on, their loyalty will be to the King of Mo and the Chu siblings. As for the Emperor?
The emperor is far away and doesn't care about them, so they don't need to be devoted to him anymore.
Lu Beimo gently embraced Chu Yueli and solemnly said to Chu Yihang, "If we cannot protect A-Li in the capital, then let's return here together. We are of one mind in the South and the North, and besides, A-Li's maternal grandfather is in the South."
If this line were truly connected, it would also represent a vast territory.
They weren't plotting a rebellion; they simply wanted to find a place to settle down and live a peaceful life alongside the common people.
"Alright, Mo'er, Xiao He, Ali, take care!"
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, take care!"
Therefore, Lu Beimo and Chu Yueli, along with Chu Xiaohe, Tuoba Liuli, Miao Yucui, and others, returned to the capital with only three thousand personal guards.
A month later, finally, we were about to enter the capital.
Chu Yueli, however, instructed his brothers to slow their pace thirty miles outside the city.
"Does Ali want to go back and find out some information first?"
Lu Beimo understood her intention, but Lu Yunfei was still somewhat worried: "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, the army returned to the city and did not report to Father Emperor immediately. I wonder if this will arouse Father Emperor's suspicion."
In fact, they had already sent people back to the city ahead of time to gather information, but the scouts have not returned yet.
Because of this, Chu Yue felt inexplicably uneasy.
“It’s been two days, and there’s been no news from the capital. If our spies haven’t been detained, then… they’ve met with danger.” Chu Yueli looked at Lu Beimo.
Lu Beimo's eyes darkened.
Lu Yunfei's expression immediately changed: "Whether we are detained or in danger, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us. Is there a force in the capital that wants to deal with us?"
"Don't worry, I've sent another group of men. It's getting late and we're exhausted. It's only natural that we rest here for the night."
Chu Yueli looked at Lu Beimo and said, "Even if we arrive in the capital tomorrow and enter the palace, and we tell Father Emperor this, Father Emperor should not have any objections to us."
After all, a month of marching had left everyone exhausted.
Entering the city a day later is understandable.
