Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 639 The Young Master in a Terrible Mood

Although, most likely Murong Jing was worried about her, that's why he was here!
But she really wanted to avoid him!

In a short moment, Hong Xiaoduo went through several internal struggles. She picked up and put down her binoculars, looking again and again. After confirming that the master and servants were not in danger, she got up and put the massage chair and other items into her spatial storage.

After taking Xiao Hei out of the space, he said apologetically to the master and servants who had been wreaking havoc in the military camp, "I'm sorry, everyone."

Then he mounted his horse, determined the direction, and left without any conscience or loyalty.

She had no choice but to run. She wasn't afraid of Murong Jing as a person, but she was afraid of the invisible yet very real web of love that he had cast upon her.

Upon learning that Hong Xiaoduo might have come to Stone City alone, Gong Wei became increasingly worried and personally led three thousand cavalry to meet her. They finally arrived before dawn.

Although it was risky, he couldn't just wait around in Red Willow City, both for his own sake and his personal life.

Hong Xiaoduo came here alone, which was her own decision, but who was she doing it for? Wasn't it for the soldiers and officers, to prevent them from suffering potentially heavy casualties?
Before setting off, he openly told his soldiers about the situation, and they responded loudly, wanting to come and bring Hong Xiaoniangzi back unharmed, even if it meant fighting a bloody battle with the enemy.

They had prepared for the worst along the way, but before the three thousand soldiers had even reached their destination, they encountered scattered enemy troops fleeing in disarray. Only after interrogating them did they learn what had happened in the White Stone City military camp.

Gong Wei and the soldiers at the front were truly bewildered after hearing this. They quickened their pace and arrived at their destination just as dawn was breaking.

Looking at the chaotic enemy camp before them, Gong Wei and the others gasped. They had witnessed Hong Xiao Niangzi's methods before. With Mu Shizi and the others as helpers, it wasn't impossible for the five of them to wipe out the entire enemy camp.

However, even though I had already witnessed the divine power of Miss Hong, the scene before me was still incredibly shocking.

Although there are certainly some fleeing remnants elsewhere, on the battlefield, it's not that a complete annihilation means that not a single soldier or general is left alive.

"Young Master Mu, where is Miss Hong?" Gong Wei asked anxiously when he saw Murong Jing and his three servants covered in blood but did not see Hong Xiaoduo.

“General, we’ve only been here a short while, and there have been explosions all over the enemy camp, but we still haven’t seen Lady Hong. Didn’t you encounter her on the main road you came from?” Yuanxi quickly spoke up when she saw that her young master’s expression was not good and he was not responding.

So that's why she looked so pale. Gong Wei understood: "Although we didn't see her, Your Highness, don't worry. She was able to wipe out the enemy camp, so she's naturally not in danger."

Perhaps she took a side path after succeeding, which is why we didn't run into her.

"General Gong, if this explanation could comfort me, you wouldn't have led your army here in the first place, would you?" Murong Jing was in a terrible mood because he hadn't seen the person he was looking for, and he replied irritably.

Upon hearing their young master's words, Yuanxi and the other two were extremely worried and dared not offer any explanation.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Men, pass down the order to search carefully for Lady Hong in the surrounding area." Gong Wei wasn't angry at Murong Jing's attitude; instead, he almost laughed.

Isn't that so? His Majesty's most trusted right-hand man is over twenty years old but refuses to get married. There have long been rumors in the capital that the young master Mu may have an unspeakable hidden illness, making him unable to have sex, and some even say that he has homosexual tendencies.

Who would have thought? It turns out the reason this young master refused to marry was because he hadn't met someone he liked.

Look, once someone has someone they like, their mood has become less calm.

"General, there's no need to look anymore, she should have left." Murong Jing realized his attitude was inappropriate and spoke up.

Hearing this, Gong Wei knew that before he arrived, Prince Mu and his men must have already searched every possible place carefully.

Gong Wei then reached out to stop his personal guard, who was about to relay his order to find someone.

"Your Highness probably knows better than I how much Miss Hong cares about Tian Shu and the others. Now that she has succeeded here, she should be in a hurry to take a shortcut back to be with them," Gong Wei said to Murong Jing after thinking for a moment.

Yes, he certainly knew how important those children were to her. Having achieved her purpose here, she was undoubtedly eager to return to those children. "General, my men have captured and interrogated an enemy lieutenant. The location where the weapon of mass destruction was forged has been bombed, and it was the first place to explode. My men have also inspected it; there are steel plates and fragments everywhere. As for Xuanjizi, who forged the weapon of mass destruction, and his three apprentices, only some limbs and remains were found. Judging from the tattered robes, they weren't military uniforms."

"The enemy has identified them; they're not from the military. So it must be Xuanjizi and his group." After calming down, Murong Jing told them what he already knew, saving Gong Wei the trouble of sending someone to investigate further.

After hearing Murong Jing's words, Gong Wei looked around again. Within his line of sight, there were still some seriously injured but alive. However, seeing the Fengliang Kingdom's troops there, he endured the pain and dared not make a sound.

"All soldiers, listen to my command! Mount your horses and return!" Gong Wei mounted his horse and gave the order loudly.

“General, now that we’re here, and the garrison in Baishi City has been dealt with by Lady Hong, I’ve already found out that there are no soldiers in Baishi City, only thirty-six constables and yamen runners. Don’t you think it’s a pity to just leave like this?” Murong Jing said loudly to Gong Wei on horseback without mounting his horse.

Upon hearing this, Gong Wei was taken aback and glanced at the tightly closed city gate not far away: "I understand what the young master means. It's not about entering the city to kill and plunder before leaving. However, without His Majesty's decree, this general crossed the border and occupied the enemy country's Red Willow City. I'm not afraid to tell the young master the truth: I wonder how His Majesty will react when he finds out about this."

Furthermore, the young master should also know the principle that one cannot bite off more than one can chew, and that haste makes waste.

We have just captured Hongliu City, and we only managed to borrow a thousand soldiers from the Northwest Army. It was only through Deputy General Dong's efforts that we were able to get another thousand soldiers. Now, I am confident that our troops and supplies can hold Hongliu City.

However, without any planning, the capture of Baishi City, which is more than 300 miles away from Hongliu City, has divided up the troops again. It will probably not be so easy to defend this city later.

The troops currently remaining in Huazhou City absolutely cannot be mobilized again.

Therefore, even if we could easily take this city, this general cannot be greedy and enter it.

"General, you are wise. I admire you. However, it was Miss Hong who went to great lengths to eliminate the garrison here. If we just leave like this, wouldn't it be a waste of Miss Hong's hard work?"
Of course, the general's concerns are not without merit, but there is no need for the general to worry about the military strength. I have a jade pendant representing His Majesty, which can mobilize the military strength of the whole country.

The troops in the distance won't arrive so quickly, but those nearby will definitely be fine.

If the general wants to take this city, I can quickly mobilize enough troops for his needs. As for His Majesty in the capital, I will also mediate and ensure that His Majesty does not make a decision that would offend the general and the soldiers.

"So, General, do you dare to take this city?" Murong Jing asked very seriously.

After listening, Gong Wei only thought for a moment before making a decision: "Since Prince Mu is here to help, what is there for me, Gong Wei, to be afraid of? Over the years, Yunwu Kingdom has repeatedly offended our borders. Taking over one more of their cities will be a way to recoup some interest for my Fengliang Kingdom."

Seeing that Gong Wei had expressed his opinion, Murong Jing immediately took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his bosom: "Yuanxi, Ziming, listen to my command. You two take this jade pendant and go to the nearest garrison in Huazhou City to mobilize troops. The necessary provisions should be provided by the garrisons in each region. In the prefectures, counties, and cities you pass through, use the jade pendant to have the local officials collect provisions and transport them over. Then you can move on to the garrisons further away."

"Your subordinates obey orders." Yuan Xi and Zi Ming stepped forward to take the jade pendant, and without delay, mounted their horses and rode away.

Having already decided to take over White Stone City, even if it wouldn't be troublesome, it was still no small matter. Murong Jing wanted to immediately return to Red Willow City to confirm whether that person had returned safely.

However, it was his suggestion to take over White Stone City, and he couldn't just leave like that, so he ordered Hai Dong to quickly return to Red Willow City and check on her to see if she had gone back.

Gong Wei also arranged for someone to go back with Hai Dong to inform his subordinates and wife of the situation.

An hour later, after the Gong family army shouted twice at the city gate, the city gate creaked open, and the prefect, a fifth-rank official, knelt inside the city with a group of yamen runners, his face pale and covered in cold sweat, to accept the surrender.

The people inside didn't resist either; those who hadn't had time to hide back home huddled against the wall, trembling, too afraid to even lift their heads.

The capture of Baishi City went very smoothly. If we disregard the bloody military camp outside the city, it could be said that not a single soldier was lost, and no blood was shed. Gong Wei pretended to be calm while waiting for reinforcements, while Murong Jing anxiously awaited Hai Dong. The next day, Hai Dong returned first. When Murong Jing saw Hai Dong's expression, his heart sank...
