Chapter 150: Northern Frontier, the Fierceness of a Tomboy

"What do you know?"

Shi Bao was furious and retorted indignantly: "Master, you are a prophet. Revealing the opportunity will shorten your life. If you don't work hard to cultivate and strive to live a few more years, your life would have been lost long ago."

"Besides, it's the master himself who is only focused on pursuing immortality and has no intention of getting married. Why is he blaming me?"

~

"That's right!"

Little Leaf was not happy with Jing Ling's rudeness to Shi Bao. She pouted her cheeks and rebuked him unhappily: "Shi Bao is the best. He only cares about his master. Don't blame others and bully Shi Bao."

"Ah."

Jing Lingqi laughed: "A tiny thing that just transformed, not even as big as a palm, dares to challenge your aunt?"

"Who are you calling a little one?"

Little Leaf was angry: "She is obviously a peerless beauty!"

"Just you? Beautiful lady?"

Jing Ling looked exactly like Shi Bao, with two hairpins on her hair. She was a cute little baby, and she laughed in a strangled voice like a rooster crowing.

"Hmph, I won't pay attention to you..."

The little leaf was stimulated and a little hurt, so it flapped its tender little wings and flew away.

"Hey, hey."

Shi Bao looked at the smug Mirror Spirit and was speechless: "You really know how to draw hatred for yourself."

"My pleasure."

The mirror spirit raised its eyebrows proudly, like a peacock spreading its tail, with high morale: "I just smiled, what can you do to me? Could it be that you have become that little guy and want to take revenge on me?"

"I won't tell you anymore."

Shi Bao couldn't stand her unreasonable behavior, so he just stayed away from her: "I'm going to find Xiao Ye."

"Cut~~"

Jing Ling was upset and complained angrily: "Go, go, who cares about you? Men are all pigs who forget their loyalty when they see a beautiful woman. If you meet a tough guy in the future and can't beat him, don't expect me to help you."

"You seem to have forgotten something."

After hearing her complaints, Shi Bao turned around in the air and flew back: "The person you want your master to marry is also a big pig's hoof. Moreover, the fox clan is the most promiscuous and not loyal in love. The fox king married one after another, had many sons, and had many concubines. You want your master to marry someone who is not loyal in love, which is really harming your master."

"He dares!"

Hearing this, Jing Ling glared with her beautiful eyes, pinched her slender waist, and showed her fierceness: "Hu Qianqiu married the master, so he must be loyal to her for life. He dared to have an affair with other women. He is sorry for the master. I will castrate him."

"Ah!"

Thousands of miles away in the northern border, Hu Qianqiu suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed for no apparent reason.

~~
"You can do it, you are right."

Shi Bao was also shocked by Mirror Spirit's ferocity. He stopped talking nonsense with her and flew away in a streak of light.

"No, this matter cannot be delayed. I have to urge the master to go home as soon as possible. I will not be at ease until I deal with that sickly young master."

Mirror Spirit didn't care about Shi Bao's coming and going. She was still thinking about her own little thoughts and didn't realize that her master had heard their entire conversation.

Mu Xueyan rubbed her brows in pain, feeling speechless about the pet spirit that liked to take over and interfere with her marriage.

Beichen Kingdom, northern border.

Five months passed in a flash, and the battle for the throne in Beichen was coming to an end.

The King of the Southwest, who had been entrenched in the southwestern fiefdom for many years and had kept a low profile, suddenly made a stunning move, killed his other brothers, gathered the remnants of his army, assembled an army of 500,000, and approached the capital city of Kyoto.

The prime minister was extremely anxious and went to the mountain to visit several times, but was turned away every time by Murongchen.

With the three generals of Yiliang guarding him, all his schemes and conspiracies could not stop him.

The Mu family army recruited soldiers and expanded, and has now increased from the previous 50,000 people to 100,000 people.

Even so, they were unable to contend with the Southwestern King's 500,000-strong army.

Murong Chen kept his promise that Mu Yunxi would not come out and inherit the throne. Therefore, the Mu family army remained dormant.

Mu Xiao and Mu Yunlong, uncle and nephew, were actively preparing for war, training new recruits, and waiting for the opportunity to come.

-

Xianjian Villa, Quanxiang Village.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

Jingle bells are ringing, and a team of horse-drawn carriages carrying military supplies are returning home with a full load after a half-month journey.

When the children in Quanxiang Village heard the sound of the bells, they all ran out of their homes and played around the convoy.

"Hey kids, I'm back."

Mu Yulin took out a handful of candies from her pocket and threw them into the air.

The toffee fell all over the ground like flowers scattered from heaven.

"Hello, Aunt Yulin."

"Aunt Yulin is back."

"Wow, so much candy. I have candy to eat again."

The children were innocent and scrambled to pick up the candies. Those who were quick on their feet ran back to the Mu family first to report the news.

"Yulin is back!"

When Qin heard that her daughter had returned, she excitedly lifted the door curtain and welcomed her outside the door.

"Mom, it's so cold, why are you out here?"

When Mu Yulin saw her mother, she jumped off the shaft of the cart and ran over to her.

"Mom isn't cold."

Qin smiled with relief, held her daughter's hand, and rubbed it vigorously for a few times: "But your hand is as cold as ice. Come into the house and warm it up quickly."

"I'm fine, I'm used to it."

Mu Yulin smiled indifferently and flicked the whip. The convoy heard the order and continued to move forward.

When an accompanying soldier passed by the Mu family courtyard, he took out a purple sandalwood box from the carriage and placed it at the gate.

"thanks everyone."

Mu Yulin patted his shoulder to show her gratitude, and then shouted heartily, saying goodbye to her companions: "Everyone, hold on for a while, we will soon reach the military camp. Go back and have a good rest for two days, and we will set off again the day after tomorrow."

"it is good!"

The soldiers responded with a smile, and when they passed by the gate of the Mu family's courtyard, they would deliberately jump off the shaft of the cart and greet Qin as a sign of respect.

Qin felt sad and relieved as she looked at her daughter, who was carrying a quiver and moving in a free and unrestrained manner, like a boy rather than a man.

"Mom, let's go home."

Mu Yulin watched the convoy pass through the door, bent down, and picked up the wooden box very naturally.

When Qin saw her actions, her eyelids twitched again and she felt an indescribable sadness.

-

Ten years ago, when the Mu family first arrived, there was no man to support the family.

The sisters Mu Yufu and Mu Yulin had to disguise themselves as men and lead a caravan to travel back and forth across the northern border to purchase daily necessities and do business with foreign people.

Now, ten years have passed in a flash.

The life of the Mu family has undergone tremendous changes, and the marriages of their daughters have been delayed.

As a mother, she felt pained seeing it all.

I want to find a good marriage for them.

However, the sisters' reputation for being tough and masculine was too well-known, and everyone in the surrounding area knew about them.

Even though she, as a mother, was anxious and asked people to act as matchmakers, there were only a few people who came to propose marriage.
