ust want to be lazy."Mo Junyi stuck out his tongue and didn't bother to explain. He saw what An Xuetang had drawn with plum blossom charcoal and became curious, "Mother, what did you draw Is it a bow...Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, An Xue Tang knew what they were thinking. She shook her head and smiled, explaining:

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just making sure Ding Hua is well-prepared. I'm not saying I want to lead the Northern Army all the way back to the capital right now. I'm not stupid, I would never send the Northern Army unprepared to fight a losing battle."

She wouldn't fight back now, on the condition that the dog emperor absolutely didn't do anything to her A-Jing.

Otherwise, she would fight the emperor to the death, even if it meant sacrificing her life.

If she were to research explosives, even with less than 300,000 soldiers, it wouldn't matter. With the invention of explosives, she could raze that capital city, even if she only had a few thousand skilled warriors like those from Xintang Valley at her disposal.

Or, if something really happened to her A-Jing, she wouldn't hesitate to go all out, to weaponize herself, to make everyone who wronged A-Jing pay with their lives. Even if she did these cruel things, even if the world condemned her, what did it matter Nothing was more important than A-Jing.

At this moment, Feng Ming looked at An Xue Tang's increasingly grim expression. He spoke slowly, "Sister An, your brother has already sent some experts from Xuntang Valley to the capital. No matter what happens, King Beijang's life will at least be protected."

An Xuetang was instantly delighted and looked gratefully at Feng Ming, "Brother, you are so kind to me."

Although she had never met anyone from Xintang Valley, she could tell from Ning'er's skills that everyone there was extraordinary. Knowing they were protecting Ajing in the capital brought her some peace of mind.

After settling some matters with Ding Hua, An Xue Tang turned to Xiao Liu, "By the way, Xiao Liu, has no one been causing trouble at the clinic"

Little Liu smirked and shook her head, "Sister A Tang, not only is there no trouble at the clinic, but our business is doing very well. The women in town all know our reputation, and now the clinic's business is getting better and better. We can earn quite a bit of silver every day."

When it came to the medical hall, Xiao Liu was clearly excited, and An Xue Tang couldn't help but smile at her contagious enthusiasm.

What's even more interesting is that An Xuetang noticed Dong Ge, who was sitting beside her when Xiao Liu was speaking, kept staring at her with doting eyes.

An Xuetang seemed to have smelled something different. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Dong Ge'er, "Dong Ge'er, is there something on our little Liu's face"

“......”

Dong Ge instantly blushed, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head, too embarrassed to continue staring at Xiao Liu.

Ironically, everyone seemed to understand what An Xue Tang was implying except Xiao Liu. She touched her face and leaned closer to Dong Ge'er, looking confused:

"Brother Dong, is there something on my face"

"!"

Dong'er's Adam's apple bobbed, he subconsciously looked at An Xuetang, meeting her eyes that seemed to smile but not smile, his face flushed even redder, he pursed his lips and mumbled, "No...nothing."

Xiaoliu didn't believe it. She randomly touched her face, "Really nothing"

After saying that, she looked at An Xue Tang, "Sister A Tang, is there really nothing on my face"

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Xiao Liu, you should ask Dong Ge'er about this. He's been staring at your face the whole time. He probably thinks there's something on it."

Dong Ge'er, his face flushed with embarrassment, cleared his throat. "Sister, don't talk nonsense, I...I didn't."

An Xuetang and everyone present laughed at his blushing face.

An Xuetang also didn't let him continue to be embarrassed, and at this moment she said, "Xiao Liu, we were just joking, you don't have anything on your face."

Xiao Liu nodded blankly, "Oh."

"By the way, Dongge, how did you do on your exam"

When this topic came up, Dong Ge instantly forgot all about being shy. He couldn't wait to speak:

"Sister, the reason I came here is to tell you this good news. I passed the provincial examination, and in a few days I will go to the capital for the imperial examination."

An Xuetang frowned. "Are you going to take the imperial examinations in Beijing recently"

"Yes, elder sister, with my abilities, it won't be a problem to take the top spot on the exams."

If this were a normal country, a stable country, it would naturally be a good thing for Dong'er to pass the imperial examinations and become the top scholar. But in this current situation, if Dong'er were to enter the court, what if something happened

And, with the Emperor's power, if he were to find out that Dong Ge'er had some relation to her, then Dong Ge'er's situation would be very dangerous.

Dong Ge'er saw her pensive expression, and at this moment he raised his eyebrow, "Sister, what's wrong You don't seem happy for me."

An Xuetang sighed and then voiced her thoughts.

Even Lian Mojun Yi and the others felt that it was not a good time for Dong to go to Beijing for the imperial examinations. The current capital city was not a safe place.

But Dong Ge looked at Yun Yi and the others, his gaze fixed on Mo Junyi. Suddenly, he stood up and knelt solemnly before Mo Junyi.

Mo Junyi raised an eyebrow, "East Brother, what are you doing"

"Young Master," Dong'er bowed. "If I were to choose a virtuous ruler to serve, I believe Young Master is the only person I would wish to pledge my loyalty to."

An Xuetang and Mo Junyi looked at each other, both with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

Dong Ge'er continued, "I choose to enter the imperial service now, not because I want to glorify my ancestors. I just want to be the prince's eyes and ears. Doesn't the prince need such eyes and ears right now"

Mo Junyi raised an eyebrow, undeniably. "You should know, being the eyeliner isn't something everyone can handle. One careless misstep, and this so-called eyeliner might just plummet into an abyss, shattering to pieces."

"For the prosperity of the nation, I would gladly give my life. I will not avoid danger or hardship! For the sake of the crown prince's grand ambitions and the well-being of the people, I am willing to die without regret."

Feng Ming showed an appreciative smile. He was happy that his younger sister, A Tang, had chosen this brother-in-law; he seemed to be a good person.

And then, as if sensing An Xuetang's thoughts, Feng Ming glanced at her and said softly, "A-Tang, Zi Ling is also due to have his own person."

And this Dong Ge, is indeed a good choice.

An Xuetang looked at Mo Junyi. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at An Xuetang, obviously also wanting Dong'er to use it for him.

Mo Junyi did indeed think so. He had many ideas in mind, and now he needed to nurture his people step by step.

This Dong brother knows his roots and is also the son recognized by his mother, so he can be trusted.

An Xue Tang looked thoughtfully at Dong Ge'er, Dong Ge'er's eyes were firm, "Dong Ge'er, are you really sure about this"

"Sister, I've thought it over."

"You should know, being close to power is like walking with a tiger, especially now that you're entering the court. The emperor is a madman, and if you make even a small mistake, he will ruthlessly destroy your entire family!"

Dong Ge'er naturally understood these things. He smiled at this moment and said firmly, "Sister, to accomplish the affairs of the king and win fame both in life and after death."

That means he is not afraid of death, and neither are his family members. On this road, there will always be someone who sacrifices for it. If that person is him, he won't have a single complaint.
