Volume 1: The Storm of Regency 011 We've been outmaneuvered

  "Is this true?" Feng Ao Tian asked with a tone of disbelief.

  "A single word from a great man is like a nine-pedestal tripod, and even four horses cannot overtake it." Mu Han's voice was as firm as iron, if he didn't agree, then the entire Mu family army would be destroyed by his own hands.

  But in just a short half-hour, Feng Ao Tian had calculated everything. First, he led him into the forest, and then he lured the Mu family army to the woods, using this as leverage. Now, he had no other choice.

  "General, where are you?" Zuo also saw the pack of wolves slowly approaching them, their eyes fixed on the wolves' open jaws, with a ferocious expression as if they were about to swallow them whole. The war horses under them were also retreating in panic.

  "It's no big deal if we have to fight." Li Su drew his sword and shouted in a cold voice.

  Ji Bo is more stable than Li Su, now the general's life and death are uncertain, and the wolf group can also resist thousands of troops and horses, relying on them alone, even if they are brave and good at fighting, it is difficult to win, however, he always feels that there is something fishy in this.

  He fell into thought for a moment, his eyes dimming, "We've been tricked."

  "What's going on?" Li Su and the other generals turned their eyes to Ji Bai.

  Ji Bai's face turned cold, "The Regent King deliberately brought us here, it was to force the General to surrender, we have harmed the General."

  The generals heard this and their faces became even more somber, but now, what should they do?

  Feng Ao Tian nodded in satisfaction, lowered his eyes and observed the scene below. The moonlight was diffused, and Ji Bai wore a black armor, although his appearance was not as handsome as Mu Han Yao's, he could still be considered a handsome young man, especially those eyes, which were somewhat similar to Mu Han Yao's.

  His gaze, cold and distant, always fell on Feng Ao Tian, who was a foot away from him. He never believed that Feng Ao Tian had really taken a liking to him, but suddenly, he was inexplicably kidnapped into the military camp, threatened and ridiculed by him, while he himself was always at a disadvantage. Mu Han Yao had never lost so miserably before.

  Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze, but only gave a cold glance at Mu Han Yao. He was temporarily yielding for now, but in his heart, he was not convinced of himself. The future is long, and she must thoroughly tame this fierce horse, making it useful to her.

  "Since you're leaving it up to me, then come back to camp with me." Feng Ao Tian said, and reached out to grab his wrist, the two of them left the forest.

  "Regent King, what about the generals trapped in the forest?" Mu Han asked in a low and distant tone.

  "The night is quiet, since my treasure can't have a good meal, just looking at it is fine. Yesterday, I almost met with disaster, and not one person in the camp came to rescue me. Now, if it weren't for your face, they would still be safe and sound? Early this morning, they would have already entered my treasure's belly." Feng Ao Tian's eyes gleamed coldly, his tone full of bloodthirsty killing intent, which was even more chilling in the cold wind.

  Mo Han Yao naturally knew about yesterday's events, although he was in the quarry, but the affairs of the camp were still familiar to him. As for what the Regent Prince did in his tent, Mo Han Yao naturally understood it clearly. However, despite his careful calculations, he had not expected that Feng Ao Tian would unexpectedly set a trap, letting him fall into it on his own, unlike his usual impulsive self.

  In an instant, Feng Ao Tian brought Mu Han Yao into the tent, and knelt down. The green-robed man outside the tent was already confused, but he still felt a strong gust of cold wind blowing by his side, and saw two figures entering the tent.

  "Fourth Joy, prepare the bath." Feng Ao Tian's cold voice rang out.

  Hou and the four Xi outside the camp responded in a low voice, "Yes, I'll order someone to prepare." After speaking, he ignored the green-robed man kneeling not far away and quickly left.

  Feng Ao Tian had already relaxed his grip on Mu Han Yao's wrist and was reclining on the soft couch.

  Mo Han stood tall and upright on one side, the wrist that Feng Ao Tian had just grasped still lingering with a hint of coolness. He raised his eyes, gazing at Feng Ao Tian, his emotions extremely complicated. He had heard before that the Regent King's preferences were not ordinary, her harem was not lacking in handsome men with exceptional looks, and every time they were favored by her, the next day they would be carried out of the palace with injuries all over their bodies, and some even died on the spot.

  So, how should he treat himself tonight?

  His dark pupils flashed with a hint of desolation and the grandeur of staring death in the face. What pain had he not experienced? Even if tonight was worse than death, he couldn't be shaken. Compared to the humiliation he suffered at the hands of the Mu family army, this was nothing.

  Fourth Happiness had already prepared the bath water and hurriedly entered, bowing his body to report, "Your Highness, the bath water is ready."

  "Yes, I'll wait for General Mu to finish his bath and change." Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, playing with the warm jade in his hand, and said coldly.

  "Yes." Si Xi replied, stepping aside and saying, "General Mu, please!"

  Mo Han's face was cold and stern, without a hint of emotion. He turned around and walked out of the camp tent.

  After washing up, Mu Han changed into a brown casual outfit, with his black hair hanging down his back. The two eunuchs who were in charge of attending to him hurried forward to serve him.

  Mu Han Liao had been leading troops in battles for several years and was already accustomed to taking care of his own food, drink, and daily life. Seeing the two eunuchs approaching, he waved his hand and said, "No need."

  Si Xi signaled for the two eunuchs to withdraw, and he personally picked up the hairband in front of the dresser and handed it to Mu Han Yao. "General Mu, this is the king's most beloved hairband."

  He recalled the scene where Feng Ao Tian personally tied his hair for him in the forest just now. He lowered his eyes, took the hairband from Si Xi's hand, and felt the smoothness of the cloud-patterned satin. His slender fingers seemed to be stroking it unintentionally. As if possessed by a spirit, he raised his hand and used it to tie his hair, then walked steadily towards Feng Ao Tian's camp.

  As they approached the Regent's camp, Mu Han glanced at a young man kneeling in the distance. The man was handsome and slender, with a delicate complexion, like a willow tree swaying gently in the wind, and could be considered a rare beauty among men.

  Qing Yi raised her eyes, looking up at Mu Han's profound gaze, her thoughts sank, this person, she was most familiar with, hastily lowered her eyes, inwardly lamenting endlessly. The General Mu she had admired and respected since childhood, now, also had to be forced to have an affair with the Regent King, then, what hope did he still have for living? Thinking of this, he no longer had any desire to live.

  Mo Han Yao merely glanced at him, then indifferently turned around and stepped into the tent. There, he saw Feng Ao Tian still reclining on the soft couch, a hint of playful smile curling up at the corner of his mouth as he watched Mo Han enter.

  Si Xi hastily retreated from the tent, raised her eyes and took a glance at the sky, her complexion changing unpredictably.

  Feng Ao Tian put away the warm jade in his hand, got up from the soft couch, and walked step by step towards Mu Han Yao with a beautiful and bright face, with a hint of bloodthirsty smile. He raised his finger and pointed to the bed, "Go lie on the bed."

  Mo Han turned around calmly and walked steadily to the bed, but then heard a cold voice coming from behind his ear, "Take it off."

  He paused for a moment, raised his hand, untied his belt, and pulled it open with force. His casual clothes slid down, revealing his robust and toned physique.
