In front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling mirror, Mo Gu was wearing an Eagle Flag Army-style military dress. His fair and almost transparent skin formed a sharp contrast with this black military uniform that revealed the Eagle Flag. His ink-like black hair fell on his shoulders in a coquettish manner, like top-notch silk satin. The dim lights in the room reflected the black eyes as dark as ink, and the bottomless eyes revealed a subtle sense of depression, but did not reveal any feelings.

Mo Gu is putting on makeup. This is the first time she has put on makeup in her life. She is worried that the makeup she has made is too dirty, so she dared not use some special cosmetics. She just put foundation and simple makeup on. She uses an eyelash pen to darken the tears moles that already exist in the corner of her eyes, and then moisturizes her lips with a light pink lip glaze, as if she is about to go to an important date.

Mo Gu is 39 years old this year. Although she is not very old, she is no longer young. She obviously has no chance of being "girl". However, she looks young and her evolutionary physique makes her aging less obvious. In addition, she carefully put on makeup today, and she seems to have suddenly become the little girl she was back then.

After applying the lip glaze, Mogu carefully put it into the storage box, but this action accidentally touched the letter placed next to him, and the documents contained in it fell on the ground and quietly opened it.

Except for the signature of the Eagle King, there is only one line of words on the document: Please ask General Blood Hou to drink with me.

Mo Gu picked up the documents, folded them gently, put them in the pocket of the Eagle Flag military uniform, stood up and faced the floor-to-ceiling mirror, tidied up every wrinkle on the clothes, smoothed them all.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. The visitor didn't even knock on the door and rushed in without saying a word.

Ye Zixiao was the first to rush in. He stared at Mo Gu directly, with resentment, anger, and helplessness in his eyes, but in the end they all became regretful in the relationship between more than 20 years. He said quietly: "Mo Gu, Leng Yuan asked you to go to the Northern King Capital, are you really going?"

Mo Gu nodded and said calmly: "I'll go alone."

Mo Qian's face was very serious and he said in a deep voice: "This is Hongmen Banquet, she will kill you."

Mo Gu didn't seem to hear Mo Qian's words. After she finished tidying up her clothes, she had only one tie and had not tied it yet. She picked up two tie on the table and compared it on her chest. She showed a little confusion in her eyes, and she tilted her head and said, "Which tie do you think looks good?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Ye Zixiao pressed Mo Gu's hand down and said anxiously, "You only have a dead end to the North. Do you understand? Leng Yuan will not give you a way out!"

Mo Gu raised his hand again and sent the red tie to her shirt collar. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Zi Xiao, will the red tie look too formal?"

Ye Zixiao walked to Mo Gu, grabbed her shoulder anxiously, and kept shaking her: "Do you understand?! You can't go by yourself! We all accompany you! Our entire Jiangnan army surrendered to Leng Yuan, and everyone advised you to protect your life!"

Mo Qian spoke directly and said with a gloomy face, "No, at this time, leading troops to the northern border, regardless of whether they really surrender or not, they will only be regarded as a military admonition by Leng Yuan. Once we cross the dividing line between the north and the south, we will be annihilated."

Ye Zixiao gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't go anywhere! Or... or we will attack the Western Regions! The Grand Marshal's Order did not say that no matter how unreasonable the action was, the whole country would cooperate unanimously. Then we will use this to hit him! What kind of hardship is there for Chang'an to swallow it himself!"

"Zi Xiao, you didn't understand the situation. Now is not the time to discuss how to fight the Grand Marshal Order. But facing this edict, there is no choice in the northern border. Leng Yuan can no longer tell whether we are enemies or friends. We have no way to prove that no matter what we do, whether we surrender, keep our troops in motion, or attack the Western Regions, for Leng Yuan, the best solution to the game is to annihilate us and the Western Regions, which is the greatest choice for her efficiency and benefits." Mo Qian's eyes sank, and he tightened his fists and said, "So, the biggest problem we are facing now is not to prove what, but how to survive."

As soon as Mo Qian finished speaking, a cold snorted outside the door, and a crisp voice came: "Mo Gu, your only way now is to betray Leng Yuan and Chang'an Central Committee to cooperate, take advantage of the situation and become the commander-in-chief of the entire Jiangnan Army, let the Western Regions and Jiangnan join forces to officially fight against the northern border, and find a way to survive."

Ye Zixiao looked outside and said that the person who came was nothing but Jing Chengkong. She lost the Douqi and was homeless. Mo Gu took her in, making her a member of the Linjiang Military Region. She has been taking good care of her for so many years. Although Jing Chengkong never said it and never showed anything, she must have feelings for Mo Gu in her heart.

After hearing Jing Chengkong's words, to be honest, Ye Zixiao was very dissatisfied. He looked at Mo Qian as if he wanted help, hoping that this person who was learning the strange strategy could give him a clever plan.

However, Mo Qian looked at Ye Zixiao's eyes and shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no other way, and this is the only way.

Ye Zixiao gritted his teeth tightly, his fist clattered. Suddenly, he raised his chest and said loudly: "Then let's carry it together! Chang'an wants us to be dogs, so we should be dogs! What's wrong with the North Frontier! What's wrong with the Eagle Flag Army and the Immortal Army?! The vanguard must be Luo You. I have seen Luo You've seen Luo You's tricks! We are not afraid of him... We are not afraid of me..."

As he spoke, Ye Zixiao was completely confident and couldn't continue to speak. He could only whisper in a trembling voice: "Mo Gu... We don't want to watch you die..."

Mo Gu looked at herself in the mirror, and her dark eyes fell on the red tie on her chest. She took it aside and put it on another dark purple tie. Then she smiled and said, "This tie is better, it's the same color as her eyes."

Ye Zixiao's emotions were a little uncontrollable. He grabbed Mo Gu's shoulder hard and pressed her on the mirror. Tears couldn't help but flow out, and he said with a hissing: "You can't go..."

Mo Gu finally looked up at Ye Zixiao. She raised her hand gently, wiped away the tears from Ye Zixiao with her sleeves, and said silently: "You are a good soldier, Ye Zixiao."

With this sentence coming to Ye Zixiao's eyes, he seemed to have returned to the past, staring at Mo Gu's shackles weighing hundreds of pounds, his bent body, his deformed bones and spine, the rats bitten to death on the ground, and his hands that were scarred due to self-harm.

The dark and depressing scene kept hitting Ye Zixiao's heart. In the nearly desperate darkness, looking at the dark bones watching alone in the dungeon, a faint light appeared in front of Ye Zixiao's eyes. He stretched out his hand and held the light in his hand, as if he had seen the closed truth.
