<h4>Chapter 276: Before the Great War</h4>
“General Xu is usually an extremely kind person... but never the slightest in battle,” said Han Moze with a smile.
“Speaking of battle... Ze, let me go up against this demon. Only my mes of Scorching Era canpletely eradicate the demon,” said Liu Rushuang with furrowed brows.
After some thought, Han Moze replied with a grin and furrowed brows, “Alright, then I’ll leave the demon to you.”
The next morning, Beiming set off with an army of six hundred thousand men.
Han Moze wore a suit of ck armor and Liu Rushuang wore a suit of silver armor as they led at the very front.
The army was as ferocious and fearless as lions.
They nonchntly headed directly for Yn City.
It took the five days to get there.
Han Moze and Liu Rushuang went to the mayor’s manor.
Lan Yan, the mayor of Yn, had been waiting outside the manor with dozens of his own servants in advance.
Liu Rushuang stared at Lan Yan, who stood at the very front, with slightly widened eyes. Was it trendy to be a handsome mayor now?
He seemed about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, about six foot five and he wore a mix of white textured clothes. Half of his pitch-ck hair was tied up into a dark green crown, as the rest fell naturally behind him. His bangs fell naturally to the sides. He had slightly thick and long shapely brows, deeply seductive eyes, a tall nose bridge, thin lips, and they looked delicately pretty beyondpare.
Liu Rushuang was pretty satisfied with the mayor of Yn’s appearance, but she noticed just how incredibly cold he seemed. He resembled her past self.
Lan Yan saw Han Moze and Liu Rushuang, and politely showed his respects in a voice as clear as wine.
“I, the mayor of Yn respectfully wee Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress. I am honored by your presence.”
“Mayor of Yn, you needn’t be overly courteous,” said Han Moze in a deep and resounding voice.
Lan Yan looked up at Han Moze and Liu Rushuang in slight shock for a moment, before replying with an emotionless expression on his face. “Your Majesties, if you don’t mind, please stay in my manor.”
“Then, we shall thank you for your hospitality!” replied Han Moze in a deep voice.
Han Moze and Liu Rushuang sat in the seats of honor in Yn City’s official hall. Lan Yan, General Xu, the deputy general and the rest were seated in the lower seating area.
“ording to reconnaisance, the Xixia army should be attacking Yn City the day after tomorrow at best. Yn City currently has one hundred thousand soldiers at Your Majesty’s disposal,” said Lan Yan tly.
“Alright, I understand. In a moment, I’ll order my men to join forces,” replied Han Moze with furrowed brows.
The conversationsted almost an hour before they had lunch and dispersed.
In the evening, Liu Rushuang looked at Han Moze, whose eyes were glued to the map, and blinked. “Ze, give it a rest already!”
Han Moze looked up and smiled. “Shuang’Er, let’s go to the rooftop and watch the moon. I can’t sleep right now.”
“Alright,” replied Liu Rushuang with a smile.
Han Moze and Liu Rushuang went to the rooftop for some fresh air.
Liu Rushuang leant on Han Moze’s body. “Ze, there are so many stars tonight!” Said Liu Rushuang with a smile.
Without uttering a word, Han Moze tightly hugged Liu Rushuang.
All of a sudden, they heard the beautiful sound of a flute.
“Ze, I wonder who’s ying the flute. They y it so well!” Liu Rushuang shut her eyes and embraced the sweet sound of the flute.
H turned to look in the direction of the flute and tly replied, “It’sing from the mayor’s courtyard. Lan Yan should be ying the flute.”
“There hasn’t been a day when I’ve seen Mayor Lan smile. What a truly strange person,” said a grinning Liu Rushuang.
Han Moze watched Liu Rushuang think about Lan Yan and felt a little ufortable for some reason. Then, he drew closer and kissed her neck.
“Ze, that really tickles! Haha!”ughed Liu Rushuang, as she pulled her neck back.
