I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law

Chapter 460

The servant who stood by her side asked, Princess, where are we going?

Mu Mingtang shook her head she didnt know either.

In her heart, she said goodbye to the capital silently.

The next day, news of the departure of Xie Xuanchens army was relayed to the court. In the morning, Xie Xuanji stood in the palace and heard the court officials report, Beirong has withdrawn its troops from the river. It seems that it has suffered heavy losses on the water and wants to return to the land to restock and recuperate their strength. Yesterday, King An led his 8,000 troops across the Yellow River and went north to pursue King Dongdan.

The Minister who spoke expressed a deep sense of disbelief. Its incredible enough that 8,000 people defeated 100,000, but whats more impressive was the fact that the enemy was even beaten and chased away by the same 8,000 men?

Oh, by the way, there were no longer 100,000 men in Ye Lujis troops now. On the first day they decided to cross the river, Ye Luji lost more than 10,000 men. In the following days, they were sporadically wounded by Xie Xuanchen. Currently, Ye Luji probably only had a little over 80,000 men left.

The imperial court had never encountered such a scenario before. They had always been the ones pursued and beaten thousands of miles away, but this was the first time they had ever emerged victorious against overwhelming odds.

Later, the courtiers discussed whether they should launch a counterattack with their men here. Some people advocated that the enemy should not be pursued. The crisis in the capital had been resolved, so there was no need to pursue the Beirong people. Others were worried that Ye Luji was doing this on purpose and deliberately retreated to create a trap

After all, conservatives still made up the majority in the court. Later, everyone agreed that it was better to keep the 100,000 forbidden troops for self-protection, so there was no need for them to send their troops over. If Xie Xuanchen needed support, he would ask the court for help.

Throughout the morning, everyone was talking about Xie Xuanchen. The gossip didnt limit itself to one day either. Ever since the Beirongs sneak attack on the border on New Years Eve, the focus of everyone in the court had revolved around Xie Xuanchen.

Xie Xuanji felt helpless in his heart. During this period, the Emperor had vigorously built momentum for him and he himself felt that he was a rare genius despite the commotion. But after all, praises like this did not last long. When there was any disturbance, the person who stepped forward and went full force ahead could show themselves the best.

As expected, his Elder Brother would always remain his Elder Brother. If Xie Xuanchen didnt die, Xie Xuanji would never have the chance to shine.
