The next morning, Jingtian said goodbye to De Ling and Kong Yao, and followed the caravan to Tianyu Kingdom. At the same time, there were more and more refugees outside the Great Wall in Hanling Kingdom, and some houses were built outside the imperial city to accommodate refugees.

The meeting that was originally held once a week became once every two days because of the need to deal with the refugees. The ministers sat in front of a round table, and in the back row were various families in the capital. In this month, the prices of materials within the country were maliciously increased, and the Yihe Dynasty was finally repaired.

In the late summer, various merchants were warned to reduce the price of supplies. Some ministers and some families conspired to oppose the price reduction of supplies, and even opposed the regulations that refugees from outside the Great Wall could settle in Hanling Country.

Some people at the meeting chose to remain silent, while others resolutely opposed it. As the king, Mo Xiuyi felt annoyed, while Mo Xia, who was aside, had been silent since the beginning of the meeting. After a long time, Mo Xia's dull voice sounded.

"Since some people are unwilling, let this meeting end."

When Mo Xia stood up and was about to leave, a minister asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, the material problem has not been solved yet..."

"I will solve the material problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xia left. Everyone present was stunned. Mo Xiuyi felt there was annoyance in Mo Xia's words.

"Since he has taken on the material problem, let's adjourn the meeting." Mo Xiuyi shook his head helplessly and announced.

…

In the late summer, I was walking in the corridor of the palace, and all the palace residents passing by gave way to salute. Suddenly, a man caught up with me from behind.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Mo Xia stopped, turned sideways, looked at the person in front of him, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the business manager of the Hanling Guofeng family. I don't know how I can help with the collection of supplies."

The man thought to himself: Enoch and Miss Xuan Qing are already friends, and the Duke protected Miss Xuan Qing so much about the assassination incident. Their relationship must be unusual. And the Duke's strength is unfathomable, so it would be best to seize the opportunity to build a relationship...

Mo Xia frowned slightly and refused: "No need."

"There are so many supplies urgently needed now, and it may be difficult for the Duke to raise them..."

"Second brother, you are so presumptuous." A middle-aged man walked in and said slightly angrily.

"Brother."

The two people in front of him were the head of the Feng family and the second head of the Feng family. They were two brothers, and the brothers were harmonious. The head of the Feng family saluted Mo Xia and said: "The head of the Feng family in Hanling Country has met the Duke."

"Well, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."

"Your Excellency, the Duke, is leaving the imperial city?" asked the head of the Feng family.

"Um."

"You don't mind, let's go together?"

"Don't mind."

Mo Xia responded silently and walked for a while without saying anything along the way. When he was almost in front of the imperial city gate, he suddenly stopped and looked at the two people in front of the imperial city gate. And those two people were Xuan Xuan.

Qing and Feng Yinuo entered the imperial city talking and laughing, and then said goodbye in different ways. After Xuan Qing left, Feng Yinuo noticed his father and second uncle, and also saw Mo Xia next to him. He walked over

say hello……

"Enoch met his father, his second uncle, and the Duke."

"Nuo'er, you were just talking to Miss Xuan Qing..." asked the head of the Feng family.

"I just sent her back from outside. After all, the capital has recently been opened to refugees from outside the Great Wall, and the defense seems to have weakened a lot. I'm afraid there may be danger."

"That's it." The head of the Feng family thought for a while. In the past month, the defense of the capital had indeed weakened a lot.

"Then I can order you to go down and tighten the defense of the capital. I won't bother you to escort him." Mo Xia's dull voice sounded.

"Of course it is good to tighten the defense, but there seems to be something in your words, Sir Duke." Feng Yinuo heard it, "Master Duke, you are interfering in the matter between me and Xuan Qing."

"Don't get too close to Xuan Qing."

"Your Excellency, the Duke, likes Xuan Qing, right? I like Xuan Qing too. How about we put aside our respective identities and let's compete fairly?" Feng Yinuo directly confessed his love for Xuan Qing.

Mo Xia smiled helplessly, "I advise you to give up. Identity? My status as a duke is nothing more than a cover created by Mo Xiuyi. It is dispensable."

"A cover?" the three people present asked in confusion.

Mo Xiuyi didn't know where he came from, he clapped his hands and laughed alone and said: "It's really a cover, Mo Xia is just a student of Jiarwei. As for why I gave up half of my rights to Mo Xia, it's not just because

He is a Duke."

Mo Xia only gave Mo Xiuyi a look and left without saying a word.

Mo Xiuyi thought for a moment and stared at Feng Yinuo, "I'll give you a reason. Between you and Mo Xia, Xuan Qing will choose Mo Xia because they are in love."

"You... and he both have the last name Mo, what's the relationship?"

Mo Xiuyi smiled and said, "Why should I tell you about our relationship? The meeting has ended, you should go back."

Mo Xiuyi left alone and came to a deserted place. The pressure of being a king had long since disappeared, and he murmured to himself, "I am the minister, and he is the master. I am given the last name and will be a minister for life."

…

By the lake in the imperial city, I stood by the lake in late summer and looked at the lake. Suddenly the water on the shore froze, and I lost control of my emotions. A voice kept echoing in my mind, 'Support Jingtian to ascend... you must remember...'

The sound was accompanied by pain. Mo Xia subconsciously held his forehead and thought: Who is it... Why do I always execute it when I want to give up...

Xuan Qing, who was far away, saw Mo Xia and Bingshuang next to him. Out of worry, she walked over and asked, "Mo Xia? What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay..." Mo Xia turned around and looked at Xuan Qing a little tiredly. Suddenly, a misunderstanding flashed across his body.

Getting weaker...

Mo Xia suddenly held her breath, stepped forward and hugged Xuan Qing tightly, calling: "Xuan Qing..."

"Hmm..." Xuan Qing was confused by Mo Xia's inexplicable behavior.

Mo Xia came back to her senses and learned that it was a hallucination. She breathed a sigh of relief but was still a little scared, "Don't leave me..."

Xuan Qing felt that Mo Xia was a little trembling and even not calm, so she comforted him: "I'm here."

Mo Xia said nothing more, just held Xuan Qing quietly, thinking: The hallucination just now... looks familiar, is it related to that passage... If I don't support Jingtian, I will lose Qing'er in the future.

…

Suddenly, a call came to the ears of the two people, and they left.

"Your Majesty the Duke! Your Majesty the Duke..." A guard shouted for a long time and finally found Mo Xia.

"What's up?"

"I just received a report from the border... The civil war outside the Great Wall has ended, and the new king is sending troops to invade our border! There are even a large number of God's Favored Ones..."

"In such a hurry, I'm afraid Mo Xiuyi only knows now. What kind of person is Xinjun?" Mo Xia asked calmly.

"According to the news, the new king beyond the wall is a woman, wearing a priest's uniform. He should be a priest."

Mo Xia stood up and said to Xuan Qing: "I'll go find Mo Xiuyi first. You go back first."

Xuan Qing nodded, "Okay."
