Chapter 946 - 211: Cannot Be Accommodated by the World_4
At dawn, Mo Heng’s army had already cleared the corpses from both banks of the Huanghe River.
The rolling waters of the Huanghe continued eastward, waves churning as if the battle of the previous night had never happened.
The soldiers of the Mortar Barracks couldn’t help but feel proud, "The General’s brilliant strategy was truly unparalleled! We wiped out Wa Ci’s army of a hundred thousand without breaking a sweat!"
The victorious report traveled at an extraordinary speed to Emperor Chu Wen’s hands in Runing Prefecture.
After the great victory on the Huanghe battleground, the army had advanced and crushed Wa Ci’s main force. Emperor Chu Wen immediately issued an edict to personally summon Pei Qin.
Huaiqing Mansion was reclaimed and had become a safe place. Emperor Chu Wen couldn’t resist the urge to visit Huaiqing Mansion himself.
When Pei Qin received the decree, her whole face twisted with anxiety. If the Emperor really accused her of treason when the moment came, would she, who had just started to enjoy a few carefree days, be facing execution!?
Dou He, seeing her tangled expression, hurried over in concern, "Being summoned by the Emperor is a great honor. Han San, you have nothing to fear. You are a meritorious subject, the Emperor will surely reward you!"
"What if the Emperor rewards me with a wife!?" Pei Qin played with her telescope.
Dou He was taken aback. If the Emperor really rewarded him with a wife, then he... He would have to marry her! The thought of that scene made him uncomfortably uneasy. But seeing that Pei Qin was clearly reluctant, an idea shocked him, "If the Emperor bestows a wife upon you, that would be a marvelous thing! You couldn’t possibly be... " Could it be Mo Heng had seduced her, and she had taken a fancy to him!?
"I have someone I like!" Pei Qin, holding her telescope, gazed towards the mountaintop.
