As for the reinforcements.

At this point, they probably won’t be coming. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zhao Qianyi looked at the snowflakes swirling outside the city, and in a daze, it seemed like she had returned to her childhood.

...

Since Chen Mo wants to return to the capital.

The intention definitely can’t be exposed in advance.

Chen Mo openly wrote a letter to Xiao Yunqi, explaining that he would return to the capital with his troops to discuss the deployment to attack Zhao Jiang in detail, and he even wrote down the specific number of troops in the letter.

This kind of straightforward approach would instead make Xiao Yunqi lower his guard.

And while waiting for Xiao Yunqi’s reply, Chen Mo also handed over the affairs of Nanyang County, one by one, to his subordinates.

As for the military power of Nanyang County, it was handed over to Jiang Ruoqing for control.

It is worth mentioning that, with the help of dual cultivation and the Nine Yin True Stone, Jiang Ruoqing successfully broke through to the First Grade.

Perhaps due to breaking through to the First Grade, Jiang Ruoqing’s confidence increased greatly, thinking herself able to contend with Chen Mo, her courage grew rapidly, and she voiced some discontent with things she could not tolerate on usual days.

Moreover, Jiang Ruoqing was no longer willing to cooperate with those strange postures proposed by Chen Mo.

And Chen Mo enjoyed this kind of personality in her, his interest in guiding her increased significantly.

The one-hundred-and-forty-seventh day of the Great Upheaval.

It’s already the end of January.

The time when the Great Song Imperial Dynasty was established, which is March 3rd.

The Great Song Imperial Dynasty also designated this day as National Day, a day for universal celebration.

It holds the same significance as the Spring Festival.

And now, there’s just over a month left until this day.

But there is no sign of festivity rising.

Night fell.

Nanyang City was shrouded in darkness, the snow had stopped, but there wasn’t a hint of moonlight, leaving the place very silent.

Chen Mo once again came to Jiang Ruoqing’s room.

Upon seeing Chen Mo, Jiang Ruoqing’s expression immediately became stern: "Why are you here again?"

"I’m your man, why can’t I come." Chen Mo closed the door, directly pulling her to the couch, joking, "Ruoqing, I noticed since you reached the First Grade, you also toughened up quite a bit when talking to me, do you feel capable now?"

Jiang Ruoqing was about to create some distance between them and sit aside, but unexpectedly, with a pull from Chen Mo, she fell directly into his arms.

She struggled immediately.

It’s not that after reaching the First Grade, she wanted to sever ties with Chen Mo.

Rather, she wanted to hold the reins of conversation, deciding by herself that only when she was willing, and he sought her, could they share a bed.

Instead of him seeking her anytime and having her bow to him and be bullied for a while.

She didn’t want to be like other women, at Chen Mo’s beck and call.

"Let go of me." Jiang Ruoqing twisted her waist.

"Let go of you? Weren’t you not like this a couple of days ago." Chen Mo lightly pushed her shoulder, and as she fell onto the bed, he pressed upon her.

It was at this moment, Chen Mo sensed her True Qi surging inside her body.

This took him aback, but immediately, it piqued his interest.

Among the women in the backyard, whether it be Zhao Jiangning or Ye Wanqiu, they basically went along with him now, not refusing him at all.

This routine for so long made Chen Mo feel a bit monotonous.

And now that Jiang Ruoqing was resisting, it made Chen Mo find it interesting again.

Chen Mo released her and retreated a bit, tidied his robe, one hand placed behind, and with the other hand, signaled Jiang Ruoqing: "Come, don’t hold back."

"You..."

This condescending attitude truly infuriated Jiang Ruoqing, she slapped the couch reflexively and stood up, True Qi swirling underfoot, her right leg whipping towards Chen Mo’s side face like a steel whip.

She knew Chen Mo’s strength, and she had just entered the First Grade, knowing she couldn’t harm him. Yet she wanted Chen Mo to see her seriously, therefore she didn’t hold back.

Her long leg swung, lifting her skirt, exposing the scenery below to Chen Mo’s eyes.

"Floral?"

Chen Mo did not dodge, directly raising his hand to catch Jiang Ruoqing’s kicking right foot.

"Boom." A thudding sound resonated, and despite Jiang Ruoqing’s fierce attack, it was not only blocked by Chen Mo but her right foot was also caught by him.

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Ruoqing became even more humiliated and angry: "Let go."

Chen Mo has always been considerate towards women, especially when it came to his own woman, so he fulfilled her wish and released her.

However, just as he released her, she spun around, and her elbow struck Chen Mo’s body, causing him to take two steps back, knocking over a vase.

Chen Mo theatrically rubbed his chest: "Ruoqing, aren’t you lacking martial virtue now?"

In fact, Chen Mo deliberately let her hit him, just to coax her.

"Haven’t you bullied me enough?" These days, Jiang Ruoqing had been tormented by his various antics, so she wouldn’t speak of martial virtue to him.

"Ahem..." Chen Mo cleared his throat twice: "Isn’t this different?"

"Stop talking nonsense, here I come." Qian surged in the palm, forming a cyan cyclone, as Jiang Ruoqing slapped towards Chen Mo, realizing the blow aimed at his head, instantly changed the target.

With a "bang," the bookshelf not far behind Chen Mo shattered into pieces.

"Wow, you’re committing domestic violence!"

Chen Mo turned his head to look, eyes widening, noticing that Ruoqing had used martial arts.

Seeing Jiang Ruoqing was about to make a chaotic mess of the room, Chen Mo knew he couldn’t let her have her way anymore, and immediately fought back.

Noticing Chen Mo’s speed suddenly increased, Jiang Ruoqing’s pupils slightly contracted, realizing that wasn’t even his fastest speed earlier.
