Chapter 164: The Goddess Will Leave You
He opened his eyes wide in anger, rushed forward, and roared sternly.
"You actually dared to betray the Prince!"
Someone cried out, "Squad Leader Wu, it was the National Preceptor who held our families hostage; he ordered us to infiltrate the refugees and come to the Beijiang Camp to spy for information."
"Unforgivable!" Wu Er roared fiercely, kicking the person to the ground, "The Prince has not mistreated any of you, providing you with food and clothing, helping you build houses, and wanting everyone to live a peaceful life! And yet you leaked the military secrets of the Beijiang Army!"
A dozen or so spies knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy incessantly.
"Everyone says the Prince is benevolent and virtuous; we beg the Prince to spare us, and we guarantee we will not offend again in the future."
"We only leaked a little intelligence, and we didn't kill anyone or set any fires; even if we hadn't said anything, you wouldn't have been able to hide it for long."
"The Prince sent scouts to Yannan first; if he hadn't, nothing would have happened. We reclaimed land and farmed, which also contributed to the Beijiang; if the Prince spares us and lets us stay in the Beijiang, we will definitely repay you doubly in the future."
They had stayed in the Beijiang for several months and knew that Xiao Moting was very good to his subordinates, had no airs, and was generous with money.
Even Xiao Dabao, who spent all day idling and doing nothing proper, was left alone by Xiao Moting.
"You... you sold out military intelligence, and you still want to continue staying in the Beijiang to live a comfortable life? You are simply shameless," Wu Er roared.
Xiao Moting narrowed his eyes with amusement.
Had he been too good to these people?
So good that these people had forgotten his former nickname was "Beijiang War God."
A god of slaughter who had personally killed tens of thousands of enemy troops, whose name could stop children from crying at night in enemy nations!
Xiao Moting smiled slightly.
"You want to stay in the Beijiang?"
The eyes of the dozen or so people lit up, and they immediately nodded desperately.
"Yes, we want to stay. There aren't many farmers in the camp who know how to use the farming machines, but we do; we can continue to help you farm."
"Yannan is suffering from drought, while the Beijiang has water and fields; I don't want to go back to Yannan, I want to stay here, as long as the treatment is the same as before."
"We will absolutely never make mistakes again in the future; we beg the Prince to let us contribute to the Beijiang."
They had been short of clothes and food in Yannan, not even having enough to eat, but they had lived very comfortably in the Beijiang; everyone neither wanted to leave nor wanted to die.
"Good," Xiao Moting nodded, "Since you all want to stay, then stay, all of you."
The group immediately showed joy on their faces.
"Many thanks, Prince!"
"We knew it, of all people in Daliang, the Prince is the kindest..."
Before the words had even faded, Xiao Moting's calm voice rang out.
"Bury them in the farmland as fertilizer."
Let them stay here for the rest of their lives.
The faces of the dozen or so people all revealed expressions of astonishment.
After coming to their senses, they cried out in grievance.
Xiao Moting's expression was cold and ruthless.
"Dig a few pits in the farmland and bury the fertilizer inside."
Since they were fertilizer, then not a single drop of blood should be wasted.
Bury them all alive!
Someone began to laugh hysterically at the top of their lungs.
"Your deity is fake! The National Preceptor said that the Goddess will leave you and will never appear again; the National Preceptor is the true god!"
"Daliang will fall next year, everyone will die, and only the National Preceptor can save Daliang."
Before he could finish shouting, Qin Zhan smashed down hard with a shovel.
"A bunch of lunatics, acting like they're possessed! The National Preceptor has brainwashed you quite severely."
Before Xiao Moting could stop him, he saw Qin Zhan playing whack-a-mole, taking out those few people who were screaming frantically one shovel at a time and knocking them all into the pit.
His heart tightened!
... Would Bai Wei leave?
A trace of unease sprouted in his heart.
He did not want her to leave!
Bai Wei had come over; she was here to see if the surveillance was actually working.
Seeing Xiao Moting bury the spies alive, she couldn't help but twitch her eyelids.
The cold and ruthless Xiao Moting before her was like a completely different person from that 'Xiao Moting' who was obedient to her every word and even a bit shy.
This was his true appearance!
He truly was the young War God who had carved his way out of the battlefield!
Ruthless, sharp, and decisive... he was a Beijiang wolf that had grown up in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield!
Xiao Moting's order to bury the spies in the farmland as fertilizer intimidated the entire Beijiang Army; even Xiao Dabao dared not act like a slacker without restraint anymore. After eating seven Ham Sausages at noon, he honestly returned to the schoolhouse, picked up a first-grade Chinese textbook, and crookedly copied 'Heaven, Earth, Man'.
After executing the spies, Xiao Moting went to report to Bai Wei.
Bai Wei asked him, "Then what are your plans next?"
"Shennü Daren, the scouts reported that the captured Beijiang Army is being held in Shiya City. Shiya City is not far from the Beijiang; I want to lead troops to attack the city and rescue them!"
Bai Wei was startled.
"Attack the city? If you do that, it will be equivalent to starting a war with Yuan Canghai!"
"The National Preceptor's reach is growing longer and longer, and now he even wants to get his hands on the wardrobe; I cannot let him be arrogant any longer. That is why I specifically came to ask for your opinion. If you think it is inappropriate, I will make other plans."
Bai Wei bit her lip, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Between the Beijiang and Yannan, there would be a battle sooner or later.
She thought for a moment, "You are fighting Yuan Canghai; aren't you afraid the Rakshasa Kingdom will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"
"No need to worry. The Beijiang Army has recaptured the Altai Snow Mountain Mine. The Rakshasa have been beaten into fear and are wary of the Sniper Rifle in our hands, so they dare not act rashly. Therefore, I intend to take this opportunity to quell the hidden dangers within the Daliang Kingdom and attack Yuan Canghai."
"However, this is just my own thought; everything must still follow the arrangements of Shennü Daren."
Xiao Moting placed the power of decision into the hands of Bai Wei.
Bai Wei lowered her head in thought.
Deploying troops and generals was Xiao Moting's strength; she was not as good as him in this regard.
Currently, Xiao Moting was opposing the Imperial Court at every turn; though he had not said he would rebel, in the eyes of the Imperial Court, he was already a major threat.
This time, the Imperial Court dispatched fifty thousand troops to Yannan; on the surface, it was to help suppress rioters, but in reality, it was to bolster Yuan Canghai, allowing him to contend with the Beijiang.
The National Preceptor was causing trouble in the Yannan Region again, conjuring up some 'Tiansheng Army,' which was clearly meant to deal with the Beijiang.
Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it is better to strike first.
Now, the Beijiang had also rested and reorganized for a period of time, gathering its strength.
It was time to resolve the internal hidden dangers!
Bai Wei thought it through clearly and replied readily.
"Good, I support you! Xiao Moting, no matter what you want to do, just go ahead and do it, because I will help you."
She was the strongest backing for the Beijiang Army!
The note was delivered into the hands of Xiao Moting.
Xiao Moting lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the elegant handwriting line by line on the note, and an incomparable sense of being moved surged in his heart.
"Xiao Moting, if you want to fight, then fight; there is no need to worry about my thoughts. I only have one wish, and that is for the world to be at peace."
"I want the people of Daliang to be far from the chaos of war and to live a calm and peaceful life."
"But I cannot do all of this, yet I believe that you will certainly be able to do it..."
Xiao Moting closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes turning red.
If in this world, everyone else did not stand on his side, there was still one person who would never leave him.
This person was Bai Wei.
No matter what he wanted to do, she supported him unwaveringly.
Suddenly!
Xiao Moting opened his eyes all at once, a trace of panic flashing through his pitch-black pupils.
Just now, when executing the spy, someone said that Bai Wei would leave this place and never return again.
His heart tightened instantly!
No!
