Chapter 150 Mu Jinyu and Bu Xiyue
Without any surprise, hundreds of Japanese pirates were quickly controlled, and several leaders were brought to Xia Qin and Mo Ye.
But before they started asking questions, the questions had been answered.
Because Mu Jinyu personally led the army to chase after them.
"Brother?" Xia Qin was surprised to see Mu Jinyu galloping over on horseback. "Why are you in Nanye City?"
Mu Jinyu dismounted and came to Xia Qin: "Xiaoyan, didn't you say you were going to march from the sea and attack Longyan City? I was worried that something might happen to you, so I took Lu Shaoqing and Cen Hua to lead the troops to take Nanye City first for support. The other battlefields are guarded by the guards and Wu Baipeng, so I don't have to worry!"
"Is that so?" Xia Qin looked at Mu Jinyu. Her brother always made her feel at ease. She smiled brightly, "Brother, Mo Ye and I met someone we know. Guess who it is?"
"Acquaintance?" Mu Jinyu frowned slightly when he heard Xia Qin's words, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face. "This place where the Japanese pirates in the southeast have been entrenched for many years, how could we have acquaintances there?"
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from not far away: "Brother Jinyu!"
When Mu Jinyu heard this familiar voice, his body shook violently. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with light steps running towards him.
When Mu Jinyu saw Bu Xiyue, he felt as if he had been electrocuted and froze in place.
His pupils dilated rapidly, then quickly contracted, as if he wanted to see everything in front of him clearly to confirm that this was not a dream.
The image of the fourteen-year-old girl flashed through his mind thousands of times in just a few seconds, and those once beautiful memories flooded into his heart like a tide.
These days, he had been feeling very heavy-hearted because of his mother's blood feud, and his originally resolute and steady face had become a little haggard and gloomy, but at this moment it suddenly glowed with vitality and brilliance.
"Xiyue," Mu Jinyu's lips trembled slightly, his eyes flashing with excitement. He hadn't lost his composure like this in a long time. "You're still alive. All these years you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiyue had already flown in front of him like a happy little bird and hugged him tightly.
However, the hug did not last long, as Xiyue quickly let go of her hand, seeming a little embarrassed.
"I'm fine. Besides, Brother Jinyu fought against Yuelan Kingdom in the Western Regions, fought against the Xiongnu in the North, and then came to the southeast to fight against the Japanese pirates. Xiyue knows all about it." Bu Xiyue still had a warm smile on her face. "Brother Jinyu has become a powerful general just as I said when I was a child."
Then, she looked at Mu Jinyan and said, "Jinyan is the same, she has become a female general as powerful as Brother Jinyu."
Mu Jinyu looked at Bu Xiyue's somewhat cracked skin and felt a pain in his heart.
He reached out his hand with concern and gently wiped the dust off her face, hoping to make her look neater.
"That year, when the Bu family was in trouble, I had just followed my father to the Western Regions," Mu Jinyu said, his eyes full of self-blame and guilt, "By the time we got back, it was too late."
He remembered that at that time, he was far away in the Western Regions and could not get to the Bu family in time to help them.
Although, he knew that even if he and his father were there, nothing could be changed.
Now, facing Bu Xiyue in front of him, he felt extremely guilty, but he didn't know how to make up for the regrets of the past.
"I know, Brother Jinyu," Bu Xiyue looked at Mu Jinyu gently, "Thank you, it has not been easy for you and Jinyan these years, but my medical skills are not good enough to help Jinyan, and I don't have the opportunity to return to the capital."
Mu Jinyu didn't say anything else, but just looked at Bu Xiyue tenderly, as if he wanted to make up for the years of separation in this way.
When Xia Qin saw that her brother could be so gentle, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Brother Jinyu, Xiyue," Mo Ye reminded quietly, "Let's go back to the city first."
"Yes," Mu Jinyu seemed to remember something, "Shaoqing and Cen Hua are still in Nanye City. It's cold outside. Let's go back and talk about it."
After returning to Nanye City, Bu Xiyue sat beside Mu Jinyu and told him in detail about her experiences over the years. Compared with what she had told Xia Qin and Mo Ye before, this time was much more detailed.
Mu Jinyu listened quietly, feeling worried about the hardships she had gone through, and feeling fortunate that she had finally escaped from the predicament.
At the end, Bu Xiyue smiled cheerfully: "Over the years, I have always believed that I will see Brother Jinyu again, and I have never doubted it!"
Xia Qin stood aside, watching them silently, feeling a myriad of emotions in her heart.
In my memory, Bu Xiyue is always full of energy, with a smile as bright as the sun on her face.
I didn't expect that even after experiencing so many hardships, she could still maintain such an optimistic and positive attitude, which makes people admire her.
Mo Ye approached Xia Qin and whispered, "Xia Xia, Brother Jin Yu has not married for so many years, is it because of Xiyue?"
"Maybe. You know my brother. He is usually very serious and never talks about his worries." At this point, Xia Qin suddenly looked at Mo Ye, "If I disappeared, would you still wait for me?"
"Haven't you been waiting all these years?" Mo Ye blinked a few times and said jokingly, "Otherwise, how many female heroes would cling to me, Mr. Mo, the lover of love."
"How dare you say that," Xia Qin thought of those female heroes and couldn't help but sneer, "My brother is brave and handsome, and has made outstanding military achievements, so why doesn't he have the title of a romantic general?"
This question made Mo Ye speechless, and he could only explain: "People in the martial arts world always like to give people weird nicknames. Brother Jin Yu is a general of Da Xia, who dares to say anything nonsense?"
"That's just a bunch of twisted ideas. My brother has never been chased to the mansion by any young lady or female general."
Mo Ye scratched his head, regretting that he had brought up this topic. He turned to Mu Jinyu and said, "Brother Jinyu, Ruotong will arrive in Jinghai County in the next few days. I will give Xiyue a big gift then."
"A great gift?" Mo Ye's sudden words made Bu Xiyue stunned for a moment, "What great gift?"
"You'll know when the time comes," Mo Ye said with a laugh, "It's getting late. We'll probably have to march again tomorrow. I'm going to rest first."
"By the way, where is Brother Shaoqing?" Mo Ye suddenly remembered that he did not see Lu Shaoqing when he arrived in Nanye City.
"He and Captain Cen have gone to observe the terrain nearby. This place is less than 20 miles away from Jiaozhou. It is better to be cautious. It will be dawn in two hours. Let's all rest in the tent for a while."
The next day was an even busier one.
Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu's two armies were combined, totaling more than 20,000 people. After discussion, each military commander led a thousand people and divided them into 20 armies, taking the township as the unit, to carry out a comprehensive clearing from south to north.
On the one hand, they cooperated with each other to ensure that there were no more Japanese pirates hiding in Yangzhou. On the other hand, they absorbed local anti-Japanese organizations like Longming and expanded their personnel.
Two thousand defenders were left in Longyan City and Nanye City respectively, garrisoned by Long Ming and Lu Shaoqing, and commanded by Lu Shaoqing.
It was Lu Shaoqing who took the initiative to request to garrison Nanye City together with Cen Hua.
"Brother Shaoqing, are you really not going back to Jinghai County with us?" Mo Ye asked again before leaving.
Lu Shaoqing has been fighting outside these days, and his original melancholy temperament has dissipated a lot, and he has become much more tough.
Lu Shaoqing seemed to have made up his mind long ago: "When everything is settled, you and I will drink together. After fighting with the Japanese pirates these days, I think it's time to change the way of life."
Mo Ye looked at him, then looked at Cen Hua beside him and said, "Well, I'll come back in a few days, and I'll leave this place to you."
"Don't worry!" Lu Shaoqing and Mo Ye patted each other gently.
"Brother Long Ming, thank you for your care over the years!" On the other side, Bu Xiyue expressed her gratitude to Long Ming very solemnly.
"Xiyue, that's too formal. Besides, we should thank you. Without you, we would have died of illness countless times," Long Ming said with a hearty smile. After all these years of fighting wits and courage with the Japanese pirates and hiding from place to place, he has finally made it through. Then he looked at Luo Cheng and earnestly advised, "Little carrot, learn well from Young Master Mo Ye in the future."
"Don't worry, Brother Long!" Luo Cheng's eyes were red, and Mo Ye patted his shoulder to comfort him.
After that, everyone returned to Jinghai County, where someone was waiting for them.
