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

Chapter 327: I Just Know~

When Xiao Mo led his troops back below Wei Kingdomʼs imperial capital, the siege battle was just beginning.

Qin Huo didnʼt expect to capture Wei Kingdomʼs imperial capital in a short time.

Now time was on Qin Huoʼs side.

He would slowly wear down the will of Wei Kingdomʼs imperial capital warriors, exhaust the capitalʼs food supplies, cutting flesh with a slow blade, bit by bit slaughtering the opponent.

And because since the great war began, Qin Huo had never harassed ordinary civilians and even treated prisoners well, Qin Huoʼs reputation was quite good.

Therefore, the resistance will of most civilians and soldiers in the city wasnʼt that firm.

A month passed.

Wei Kingdomʼs imperial capital gates opened. Wei Kingdomʼs ruler held the imperial seal and led civil and military officials out of the city to surrender!

Qin Huo, along with Xiao Mo and numerous commanders, accepted the surrender.

From this point, Wei Kingdom was annihilated.
Wei Kingdom completely became part of Qin Kingdom. As for Wei Kingdomʼs ruler and civil and military officials, they were all brought back to Qin Kingdomʼs court.

If nothing unexpected happened, capable officials from Wei Kingdom would be absorbed.

Wei Kingdomʼs ruler would be enfeoffed as an idle prince, living the life of a wealthy man.

After all, killing Wei Kingdomʼs ruler now had no meaning. On the contrary, at this time Wei Kingdomʼs ruler could serve as a good signboard, making future rulers of nations who wanted to fight to the death hesitate somewhat.

After the victory celebration banquet, Qin Huo left fifty thousand troops to garrison Wei Kingdomʼs imperial capital, then led Xiao Moʼs triumphant return to court.

At this time, since the great war began, a full four years had already passed.

Xiao Mo had grown from a sixteen-year-old child into a true man.

…

Qin Kingdomʼs imperial palace, imperial study.

Although Xiao Mo and the others hadnʼt yet returned to the imperial capital, battle reports had already reached the hands of the Qin Kingdom’s ruler.

Looking at the battle reports in his hands, the Qin Kingdom’s rulerʼs dragon countenance was greatly pleased!

He said ”good” three times in succession!

”When we annihilated Xiong Kingdom before, Your Majesty wasnʼt this happy.”

Empress Shi, who was attending at the side, smiled and poured a cup of tea for the Qin Kingdom’s ruler.

”Hahahaha, what makes me happiest isnʼt just that we annihilated Wei Kingdom, but this boy Xiao Mo.”

The Qin Kingdom’s ruler laughed and handed over the battle report.

”In these four years, this boy broke through twenty-one cities. Even because this boyʼs appearance is too handsome, he caught the attention of a musician cultivator who created ʼBreaking Through Shuanghong Array.ʼ Now itʼs gradually spreading throughout the realm. One war of national annihilation, and this boy really stole all the glory. Empress, tell me, how should I reward him?”

Empress Shi looked at His Majestyʼs pleased appearance and knew His Majesty was genuinely happy, ”How Your Majesty rewards him, this subject wife doesnʼt dare speak recklessly. According to normal standards, enfeoffing Xiao Mo as a marquis wouldnʼt be excessive.”

”Yes.” The Qin Kingdom’s ruler nodded, ”A twenty-year-old prince or marquis! If this got out! Everyone under heaven would be shocked!”

”However.” The Qin Kingdom’s ruler changed his tone, ”I have an even better reward.”

The Qin Kingdom’s ruler turned his head and asked Empress Shi, ”Shuiʼer, what do you think of Xiao Mo compared to the two legitimate sons of the Xiao Manor?”

”...”

”...”

As soon as the Qin Kingdom’s rulerʼs words fell, Empress Shiʼs heart jumped. She quickly understood His Majestyʼs meaning.

The Northern Pacification Prince Manor had hereditary succession without replacement, controlling the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry. It was already the fourth generation.

In Qin Kingdom, there were even rumors that the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry had become the Northern Pacification Prince Manorʼs private army.

Although the Northern Pacification Prince had no rebellious intentions and had even rendered considerable military service, how could His Majesty be completely at ease?

But if...

If the originally unqualified Xiao Mo controlled the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry...

First, Xiao Mo was the Northern Pacification Princeʼs son, a person of the Xiao Manor, flowing with the blood of the Northern Pacification Princeʼs lineage.

Second, Xiao Mo was selected by His Majesty. His Majestyʼs grace toward Xiao Mo was like rebirth!

One, it would win over Xiao Mo, this commander and generalʼs heart.

Two, it was equivalent to indirectly controlling the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry.

Killing two birds with one stone!

”Reporting to Your Majesty, compared to the Xiao Prince Manorʼs two legitimate sons, Xiao Mo naturally surpasses them considerably.” Empress Shi answered.

”Mm.”

The Qin Kingdom’s ruler nodded and stroked his beard.

”Iʼll think about it. Letʼs wait until Qin Huo and Xiao Mo return to court.”

…

”Speaking of that battle below Shuanghong City, when the two armies clashed, war drums shook the heavens.”

”And just then! Behold that young general mounted on his war horse, wielding his long spear, charging into the fray!”

”The young general charged in and out like a war god. He wore an Asura mask, harvesting the lives of enemy soldiers on the battlefield.”

”Shuanghong Cityʼs army was killed until not a single piece of armor remained. They scattered and fled. Behold that young commander standing with his horse and spear horizontal, removing his mask to reveal his incomparably handsome features.”

”Thereʼs a saying—

ʼCold iron armor reflects the moonʼs wheel, crossing spears on leaping horses trampling the beacon dust.

Splitting a thousand troops, wind and thunder move. One spear levels mountains and seas in spring.

Bloody battle through the night finally breaks the array. Removing half the helmet reveals heavenly bearing.

The enemy chieftain never expected such devastating beauty, already sent to the Yellow Springs where ten thousand ghosts seethe.ʼ”

”Excellent!”

”Reward him!”

”Again! You old fellow tells it best!”

In a teahouse, a storyteller was telling of that great battle Xiao Mo fought below Shuanghong City, provoking continuous applause from the audience.

And in a corner of the teahouse, a young lady who had already listened countless times had joy in her brows. Behind her veil, her world-toppling features were full of delight.

After having the maid Huasheng reward the storyteller with some silver, the young lady left the teahouse and walked happily on the main street.

At this time, on various small stalls throughout the imperial capital, fierce and menacing Asura masks were displayed because no one knew exactly what the maskʼs owner wore, these masks came in all varieties.

But this didnʼt prevent the cityʼs civilians from loving the masks, especially women.

After all, a man with handsome features, exceptional martial prowess, and the talent of a commander and general, how could he not make womenʼs hearts flutter?

Women in the city almost all had one mask per person, fantasizing about what this person named ”Xiao Mo” looked like and in various restaurants and brothels, musicians were all playing ”Breaking Through Shuanghong Array.”

At this time, Xiao Moʼs reputation far exceeded how many commanders.

Watching all this, the young lady felt genuinely happy for her childhood playmate.

”I wonder when Xiao Mo will return.” The maid Huasheng watched Her Highness the Princess playing with a mask, feeling quite emotional in her heart, ”Her Highness the Princess has already waited four years for him.”

”Soon.” Qin Siyao put the mask on Huashengʼs face, ”Xiao Mo will be back very soon.”

”How does Her Highness the Princess know?” Huasheng asked in confusion.

The young ladyʼs eyes curved into crescents, her smile blooming like a flower, ”I just know~”

At the same time, only five hundred li from the imperial capital, the returning army marched magnificently. They were expected to reach the imperial capital tomorrow.

Xiao Mo held the reins in one hand and a small clay figurine in the other.

”Big Brother Xiao, who is this clay figurine?”

Zhao Wei rode his horse to Xiao Moʼs side and asked curiously.

He had noticed that Big Brother Xiao would take out this somewhat ugly little clay figurine every day, holding it in his palm and looking at it.

”This clay figurine? It was made by a silly girl.” Xiao Mo smiled, ”Iʼm telling her Iʼm coming back.”

”This clay figurine has a formation? It can transmit sound?” Zhao Wei asked in confusion.

Xiao Mo shook his head, ”It doesnʼt.”

Zhao Wei was even more confused, ”Then how can she know Big Brother Xiao is returning?”

”Her?”

Xiao Mo raised his head, looking toward the imperial capitalʼs direction.

”She definitely knows.”
