Chapter 1487: Sheep Entering the Tiger's Den
The news of the crown prince... that single sentence was enough to send a wave of excitement through everyone present.
Finally... finally, I have news from the Crown Prince.
Although they haven't mentioned the prince these past few weeks, every one of them has been worried sick. Not a single day has passed without concern for him.
Since hearing from Yun Wu that the crown prince had jumped into a river and his whereabouts were unknown, they hadn't slept well. Let alone the king who treated the crown prince like his own son.
Their king's concern for his prince far exceeded that of anyone else, so no one could understand how he would feel upon learning of the prince's misfortune.
Now that we finally have news from the Crown Prince, they all looked towards Mo Yunjing.
...Just that Mo Yunjing has always been calmer than them, and more observant. Although he received news from Mo Junshi, looking at the messenger's expression, he knew that the so-called news was probably not good news. ...
He even felt that the news the scout was about to deliver would be more worrisome than Mo Junyi's disappearance.
As expected, the messenger after a few moments of hesitation, still gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, it is... news from Bei Jiang City, the young master he...he was taken back to Bei Jiang Camp."

“......”
One sentence instantly changed the expressions of Yunliu and the others.
The crown prince was taken back this time, and Yun Rui knew this person would definitely not let him go easily.
The thought of this immediately extinguished the elation that had come from winning. A shadow of gloom fell upon every face.
Mo Yunjing's face visibly darkened. The scene fell silent for a moment, and he only said, "Let's head back to the city first."
He rode away after saying that.
Yunliu and the others looked at each other in surprise, then spurred their horses to follow.
......
After returning to the city, Mo Yunjing went straight into the main tent without saying a word. He sat at his desk in silence for a moment, then began to grind ink, preparing to write a letter.
Hearing the sound of someone entering, he said without raising his head, "Carry on as usual. Do whatever needs to be done."

As usual, if he had said that, the people entering would have certainly listened and gone to prepare. However, there was something more important they needed to report to the prince at this moment.
Since they had just entered the city, another scout arrived. This time, he brought back more than just news; he brought two letters.
At this time, Yunliu took two letters from his scout beside him and walked up to Mo Yunjing. "My Prince," he said, "Perhaps you should read the letters first."
Mo Yunjing frowned, then slowly raised his head.
Yunliu's expression was extremely grave as she hurriedly handed over the two letters in her hand. "One is from Yunrui, and the other was sent back by someone from the Han Clan."
Mo Yunjing stopped grinding at this moment, he took the letter from Yunliu's hand, and first looked at the one sent by Yun Ruizhi.
The content of the letter was just as he had guessed, nothing more than a request for him to go alone and rescue Mo Junyi.
It wasn't in Beijang City, but rather a mountain not far from Youlan City.
Within three days, he couldn't catch up. All he could do was collect Mo Junyi's body.
Another letter came back from Han Yun. It turned out that he had also found Mo Junyi's whereabouts, but he was a step too late. By the time he arrived, Mo Junyi had already been taken away by Yun Rui.

Big Zi found him, and he also got the military talisman on Big Zi's neck.
But the family who had taken in Mo Junyi back then had all been silenced.
He had already found out that Mo Junyi was taken away by Yun Ruishen, and the direction they left in was roughly the same as the meeting place mentioned in Yun Ruishen's message.
Han Yun has now brought people to follow up, but the other party is Yun Rui's knowledge. Even if he catches up, he may not be able to safely bring Mo Junyi back.
To write back this letter is to ask him for something.
After reading the two letters, Mo Yunjing remained silent for a long time. Yunliu and the others guessed that the contents of these letters must be about the crown prince, and it wouldn't be good news.
For now, they couldn't guess what the news was about. Seeing their kingly lord’s eyes, like a dark sky, gradually tinged with pride and aloofness, becoming as deep an abyss that froze inch by inch, they knew this matter must be extremely difficult.
After a while, Mo Yunjing pushed the two letters forward. Yunliu and the others finally understood and picked them up to read.
Finally seeing the contents of the letter, everyone present instantly clasped their hands tightly, trembling slightly. They were both angry and saddened.
When Yunliu saw Yunrui's repeated demands in the letter that their prince go alone, his chest heaved violently, and his veins on his neck trembled with anger. His face flushed red with rage, gritting his teeth, he said, "These people are truly cunning and treacherous."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mo Yunjing with great excitement. “Your Highness, they must have set up a trap, waiting for Your Highness to jump in willingly. Your Highness, please don’t go alone.”
The rest of the people, hearing Yunliu say so, also chimed in, "That's right, Your Highness, you can't fall into their trap."
They had already made preparations, and the mountain terrain was even more complex and intricate. Your Highness, you cannot take this risk.
Everyone knows there's a trick to this, but can they persuade their king
It certainly cannot.
Although Mo Jun Yi is not the son of their prince, the relationship between their prince and the crown prince is like that of father and son. Under such circumstances, how could their prince, a man so affectionate and righteous, possibly listen to advice
As expected, after both of them had finished speaking, Mo Yunjing merely said, “This king has his own plans.”
After that, he continued to grind at a leisurely pace. Yunliu and the others looked at each other in confusion, "Your Highness..."
"Whatever needs to be prepared in the army, prepare it now. Today, Your Majesty took three thousand warhorses from the Red Nation. They won't dare to wage war again in a short time. Celebrate today if you must."
"...."

Then Yun Liu and the others finally understood their prince's good intentions.
I'm afraid that even if nothing happened today, their prince would have set off to look for the young master as soon as this battle ended.
The conditions the prince proposed to Chi Country today greatly reduced the Chi Country army's capabilities. Without horses, they would naturally not dare to act rashly.
They deliberately used the last batch of explosives to intimidate them, to make them realize their own limitations and see if they could withstand the power of the explosives.
Today's battle definitely had a deterrent effect. Even if Chiguo continues to be aggressive, after this battle, they will surely calm down for a while.
Their prince wanted to leave during this time and personally go search for the young master.
They only now understand their prince's intentions.
But to let the prince go alone to rescue the young master would be like sending a lamb into the tiger's mouth. How could they possibly feel at ease
But Mo Yunjing didn't care about their thoughts at this time. Seeing that they still didn't move, his brows furrowed. "Are you deaf"ty, and what they face is the destruction of their homes and families.So when someone took the lead, they came here almost without any thought, wanting the Northern Frontier Princess to appear and giv...
