Chapter 1: The Regent's Stormy Weather 015 Made Grandfather Laugh, and He'll Tell You

  "Where is your war horse?" Feng Ao Tian turned around, now her eyes had no one else but Mu Han Yao, and when she looked at him with her eyebrows and eyes, she showed doting, soft voice and gentle tone, which was softer than the spring breeze.

  Mo Han was clearly not used to being gazed at so gently by a man, and the voice sounded like a spring breeze. This scene made him feel a warmth in his heart. He had been fighting for many years, and in the past three years, he had been working in the quarry with little contact with women. Most of the time, he was with a group of old men who spoke loudly and coarsely. How could Feng Ao Tian be so gentle, like a woman? Mo Han felt dazed, and suddenly, a strange thought flashed through his mind.

  Put your fingers to your lips, whistle softly, and a dark brown horse comes galloping, with a pair of black eyes, running at the fastest speed to Mu Han's side, rubbing his chest with his head.

  Mu Han's eyes gleamed with a faint smile as he stroked the horse's mane, about to speak when a cold and stern light shot towards him.

  He raised his eyes and saw Feng Ao Tian staring at him with a gloomy face. He looked back at her in confusion, what had he done wrong again to displease her?

  "What was it that I said?" Feng Ao Tian asked in a cold tone.

  The cold and distant gaze dimmed for a moment, and he suddenly realized, speechless. He said in a low voice, "Crown Prince, he is my kin, and also the brother who fought side by side with me."

  What's more, it is just a horse, not a human being, can't get close?

  "This king allows it to get close to you, but remember that in the future, if you smile at it so charmingly again, every time you do, you must smile a hundred times for this king. Also, except in front of this king, don't smile at anyone else." Feng Ao Tian Ba said.

  Mu Han Yao's face stiffened, and he raised his eyes to gaze at Feng Ao Tian. Her smile was not as good as never smiling for a lifetime. He expressionlessly reined in his emotions, thinking that it didn't matter if he never smiled at anyone again. A bitter smile echoed in his heart - when did Mu Han Yao become so helpless? Yet, despite her overbearing and unreasonable orders, he couldn't muster up any discontent or anger; instead, he felt a sense of helplessness, as if there were other emotions mixed in.

  "I understand." Mu Han replied coldly.

  Feng Ao Tian was also a finger snap to rush to the sky, and then a snow-white horse came galloping, she led the horse, looking at Mu Han Yao, "The morning air is very good, follow this king to take a stroll."

  "Yes." Mu Han Yao was worried about Qi Bo and others, but now, he didn't dare to refuse even a little bit.

  The two men each led a horse out of the military camp, and the soldiers on patrol duty saw off the blue and silver figures disappearing into the vast grassland, feeling sad. General Mu had entrusted himself to the Regent King for the safety of the Mu family army, and with his own body, he had preserved the lives of 100,000 soldiers in the camp. This selfless righteousness made them respect Mu Han more, and they secretly made up their minds to follow General Mu to the death.

  Si Xi remained standing outside the camp, watching as Feng Ao Tian and Mu Han Yao departed into the distance. He turned his gaze to look at Qing Yi, but said nothing.

  Qing Yi gazed into the distance, sighing softly. Why did the Regent King have to be like this? Wasn't he afraid that if she truly became powerful, she would kill him?

  On the vast grassland, Feng Ao Tian held Mu Han Yao's hand and walked towards the forest five miles away with a leisurely pace. In her mind, memories of the original owner floated up. She glanced sideways at Mu Han Yao's cold and stern profile and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

  He had never held hands with anyone like this before, strolling on horseback. He used to dream that one day he would meet the woman of his dreams and they could ride horses together across the vast grasslands, but now, the hand he was holding belonged to a man, "Nothing."

  Feng Ao Tian seemed to see through his inner bitterness, but didn't expose it. His pride and glory were now tightly grasped by her. A majestic general of a nation had become a male concubine. That he could endure this showed how deep his thoughts were.

  "Mu Han Yao, do you believe that I, the king, will one day become the ruler of this continent?" Feng Ao Tian turned his gaze, his eyes sharp as a chasm, exuding an unyielding majesty.

  Mo Han was taken aback, gazing at Feng Ao's stunningly beautiful face, an aura of dominance gathered around her, such a cold and stern atmosphere, no one could resist, nor would they doubt the truth or falsehood of her words.

  He hesitated for a moment, her cruelty was well-known to all, if this continent were ruled by her, the people would surely be miserable and suffering, how could he help her become tyrannical?

  "What? You don't believe me?" Feng Ao Tian naturally knew that Mu Han Yao wouldn't believe him, and even if she did, with her current reputation, even if she unified the world, she would still be a tyrant who brought disaster to the country and its people.

  Mo Han Yao intended to remain silent, but as he gazed into her resolute eyes once more, he inexplicably blurted out two words, "I believe."

  Feng Ao Tian listened, a comforting smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. At first glance, she knew Mu Han Yao's temperament. She had gone to such great lengths to bring him under her wing, also believing in his bravery and foresight. Even though he was not willingly serving her now, however, one day, she would make him willing to surrender at Feng Ao Tian's feet.

  "Remember what you said today." Feng Ao Tian's smile faded away, and he spoke in a cold tone, "I will let you see that day come."

  He silently endured the cold and distant silence, should he have seen that day? Now, he was just a pawn in her hands, as long as he was there, he would never let the people suffer.

  When the two of them arrived at the forest, it was already noon. The wolf pack did not retreat but instead surrounded the leader led by Ji Bai within the forest. Only when they heard the sound of footsteps and horseshoes coming from a distance did the wolf pack open up a path to let Feng Ao Tian and Mu Han Yao enter.

  Ji Bai and the others turned their heads, looking at Mu Han Yao with joyful faces. When they saw his tightly clasped hands with Feng Ao Tian, everyone's face turned pale. They had already guessed that General Mu had surrendered to the Regent for their sake.

  Mu Han's expression remained unchanged as he swept his gaze over the crowd, his voice cold and detached. "The Regent has reinstated me to my position as General. From now on, you will all follow me to guard the border, swearing loyalty to the Regent until death."

  Ji Bo and Li Su exchanged a glance, although they were indignant in their hearts, but after yesterday's terror, now General Mu was also like this, what else could they say?

  Hurriedly dismounting and kneeling on the ground, "Your subordinate etc. wishes to have already regarded General Ma as a model for generations, swearing to die in loyalty to the Regent King."

  That day, the entire camp fell into a silence, and Ji Bai and others returned from the forest, each doing their own job, without much words, but their thoughts became increasingly heavy.

  Inside the tent, Feng Ao Tian had just finished bathing and was wearing casual clothes. He saw Mu Han standing beside the desk, arranging his troops. He walked forward leisurely, "Any doubts?"

  "What to do with this place?" Mu Han Yao stared at the topographic map, where there was a treacherous terrain that had always been their Achilles' heel. Even if Qian Ye were here now, he would be at a loss for what to do.

  Feng Ao Tian looked in the direction that Mu Han Yao was pointing, his mouth slightly hooked, he raised his hand and hooked Mu's chin, their eyes met, "This king has a way."

  Mu Han's deep and profound eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, looking at Feng Ao Tian, "I wish to hear more about it."

  "However, since you laughed at a horse today, you'll have to laugh for me a hundred times. Come on, laugh for me, and I'll tell you." Feng Ao Tian said with an enchanting smile, his body slightly leaning forward, as he spoke in a charming tone, exhaling a faint breath through his nostrils.
