Two days later, emissaries from various countries began their journeys home.

Chu Yuxiao ultimately did not agree to betroth Nanzhao Suya to Cang Mo, nor did he say how he rejected the proposal.

Su Yan felt a weight lifted from her heart.

To be honest, she genuinely did not want to see Yaya married to someone like Cang Mo.

If Chu Yuxiao had truly agreed, even if she would not have tried to stop it, she would still feel uncomfortable.

Luckily, Chu Yuxiao did not agree, so she didn’t have to feel troubled...

Winter passed quickly, and soon, early spring was approaching.

After months of preparation, Chu Yuxiao had arranged everything, ready for the troops to immediately set out to attack Moyan Country.

A portion of Moyan Country’s territory lies between Cangyue Country and Eastern Chu Country, so the Great Nan Dynasty’s army could pass through Fengling Country and then detour along the border of Eastern Chu Country to reach there.

Alternatively, they could pass through Xiliang Country and detour along the border of Cangyue Country to reach there.

However, Cangyue Country harbors ambitions, Xiliang Country is also a major force, while Fengling Country has maintained friendly relations with the Great Nan Dynasty, and Eastern Chu Country is a smaller nation.

Therefore, Chu Yuxiao decided to have the army pass through Fengling Country and then detour along the border of Eastern Chu Country to reach Moyan Country.

The army was ready to depart, led by General Gao commanding fifty thousand troops heading to Moyan Country.

On the day of departure, Su Yan also went, and she noticed someone.

The person stood behind General Gao, with somewhat youthful features but a body that was sturdy and strong.

It was the same officer who had kindly offered her a water pouch while traveling to the nomadic grassland.

He was a vice general in this campaign, and Su Yan only now learned he was General Gao’s brother, always battling alongside him, loyal both to the Emperor and General Gao.

Standing behind Chu Yuxiao, Su Yan maintained the demeanor of an Empress, listening as he delivered an impassioned speech, then raising her cup alongside him to toast to the generals.

The entire army lingered until late morning before setting off.

The grand procession departed in an orderly manner, with a neatly aligned formation, the soldiers all energetic and disciplined, showing the might of the Great Nan Dynasty’s army.
