“Eldest Brother, why don’t you think it over some more! You really aren’t afraid that I’ll squander this kingdom that you entrusted to me.” Mo Yu looked pitifully at his eldest brother with a mournful little expression that had “I beg you not to go” plastered all over it.
Yet Crown Prince Mo couldn’t help but laugh as he flicked Mo Yu’s forehead. “Stop acting so cheeky. Would I be unaware of your capability?”
“Yu Xiu will escort Qiaoqiao to the Middle Six Prefectures with seven Hidden Night Pavilion members. The remaining people will be under your orders from now on. Keep the tokens safe and use them well. These resources in your hands will be your bastions of strength in the future.”
“Eldest Brother, how about you bring me along with you,” Mo Yu continued to beg.
“When your cultivation reaches level 13 and you have sensed the five spirits, Eldest Brother will bring you along.”
“Really?” Mo Yu’s eyes lit up. “Eldest Brother, then it’s a promise!”
Mo Lian couldn’t help but find it funny. He instructed him some more before asking him sternly, “Yu’er, have you realized anything after leading troops this time?”
Mo Yu said with a nod, “The Vassal Prince of An’nan is an expert at using troops. If not for Yu Xiu and Hui Fan helping me later on, perhaps the vassal prince would have escaped.”
“Don’t worry, Eldest Brother. Yu’er will properly learn from General Shi during this trip to the barracks.”
Mo Lian nodded, gratified. “Second Young Sir Shi will also be coming along with you and General Shi to defend the frontier pass. Even though the second young sir is frail and sickly, he has a distinctive way of deploying troops in battle formations. You must not feel ashamed to learn from him, understand?”
“Mhm, Eldest Brother. Yu’er will do so.”
Afterwards, Crown Prince Mo led his young brother by the hand to sit beside the table. “Yu’er, after Eldest Brother leaves, you must constantly go visit Royal Mother. You must not act like how you were in the past and run around naughtily, which made Royal Mother deeply worried and sick at heart.”
“I know, Eldest Brother.” Mo Yu’s eyes reddened as he abruptly reached out to hug Crown Prince Mo. “Eldest Brother, you must remember to come back.”
“Such a silly child. Eldest Brother will only be leaving home for a few years. I will be returning no matter what. What are you crying for? Real men don’t cry.”
“Her Majesty the Queen has arrived.”
Mo Yu hastily stood up and wiped the corners of his eyes as he said, “Royal Mother must have a lot to talk to you about. I will be leaving first.”
He feared that if he continued to stay here, he would be like his mom and weep bitterly while hugging Eldest Brother. If he acted like that, where would his pride go?
Mo Lian stood up to welcome Queen Zhao, leading her to sit down beside the table.
Queen Zhao dismissed the servants. When she looked at her son, her tears streamed down uncontrollably.
Mo Lian hastily went up and knelt well-behavedly in front of his mom. He soothed gently, “Royal Mother, this son will only be leaving home for a period of time. It is not like I won’t be coming back. Don’t be broken-hearted, okay.”
Even so, Queen Zhao bawled loudly, “My child, Royal Mother has long known that such a day would come. When your dad told me this morning, I simply couldn’t believe my ears. It turns out the Divine Province’s House of Elders had already sought you out long ago. How come you didn’t tell Royal Mother anything.”
“There is no need to trouble Mother with these trivial matters. Royal Mother, this son promises you that I will definitely be back in three years at the least and five years at the most, okay.”
Queen Zhao choked with sobs. “My child, do you know that even though Mother did not give birth to you, but Mother has watched you grow up bit by bit from a dumpling all the way to this fine young man today. Mother has long ingrained you into my own flesh and blood, linking our hearts together.. You are gouging out Mother’s heart by saying that you are leaving now.”
