Chapter 199: Another Big Task

The next day, Mo Xiaobai woke up early and started organizing his troops.

Since this was a Dynasty Instance, leaving soldiers to guard the home base made no difference, so this time Mo Xiaobai decided to take everyone he could with him.

Li Ji, Li Guang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and He Chun, the five Great Generals of Daming Town, were all ready to fight. In addition, Guo Jia and Liu Ye would also go to the Instance as accompanying Military Advisors.

After so many days of recovery, Guo Jia’s health had improved a lot. Even taking him on a long trip back and forth to the Western Regions would not break him, so Mo Xiaobai was naturally at ease taking him along.

His soldiers, including 300 Rattan Armor Soldiers, 200 Heavy Halberd Soldiers, 100 Light Cavalry, and 300 Village Soldiers, a total of 900 Soldiers, were all to be taken away by Mo Xiaobai.

This Instance was different from the previous Battle of Guandu. At Guandu, Mo Xiaobai could be said to have used a bug that was not actually a bug to suddenly skyrocket his Merit Value.

In this Inscription on Langjuxu Mountain Instance, the Great Han was at its peak, having all the soldiers, generals, grain, and horses it could possibly need.

Could you really get thousands of Merit just by delivering the grain stored in a Granary?

It was completely impossible!

Moreover, since they were raiding the Western Regions, the only people Mo Xiaobai truly trusted were his own territory’s soldiers. Without the 900 Soldiers of Daming Town following him, Mo Xiaobai could not do anything no matter what ideas he had.

Once the troops and horses were arranged, Mo Xiaobai took some commercial items from his Territory as usual.

It did not matter if they were useful or not; taking them was always the right choice.

With everything ready, Mo Xiaobai had nothing else to do, so he quietly waited within his manor for Bai Hualin and A-Dai to arrive.

When the clock passed 10 AM, Bai Hualin reined in her horse outside Daming Town and jumped down. Half an hour later, A-Dai and his wife brought Yang Zhi to the gathering.

The group gathered to rest for a while, and soon it was noon.

The entrance to the Inscription on Langjuxu Mountain Instance officially opened!

…

Shuofang, the far northern region of the Yellow River basin.

This was a critical border defense point of the Great Han. If you looked north a couple of times, you could see the towering and continuous Great Wall of the Han.

After Mo Xiaobai and his soldiers entered the Instance, unlike the Guandu Instance where players “spawned” at a large fort, Mo Xiaobai was directly inserted into the Han Army system with the rank of Colonel.

He was not even sure exactly which battalion he was in, but after looking around, he did not see any other players spawning nearby.

“Is this a Dynasty Instance? Hiss~ It seems a bit cold.” Beside Mo Xiaobai, Bai Hualin had barely steadied herself before she started rubbing her hands and clutching the reins of her Precious Horse.

“Think about where we are; how could it be warm in Inner Mongolia, Huaxia, during autumn?” Mo Xiaobai, foreseeing the cold when entering the Instance, had worn a wolf fur coat and now felt no chill.

“It’s too cold; even if I wore a down jacket, I couldn’t handle it.” Frosty breath escaped from Bai Hualin’s lips, but by the time the heat reached her hands, it had turned into cold air.

The harsh climate needed no further explanation.

“How can we fight in this weather?”

“That is exactly why everyone normal would say it’s impossible. That is why Dou Xian struck a fatal blow when the Xiongnu were suffering the most. You have to admit, he was a strategic genius. In terms of deception strategies and planning before acting, he was three times better than Wei Qing.”

Mo Xiaobai nodded simply, then looked at his mother and Xiaoyou who had come to the Instance with him: “Mom, Xiaoyou, and Xiao Bai, you should not follow me this time.”

It was never Mo Xiaobai’s mother’s or Xiaoyou’s intention to earn Merit or complete tasks; they just wanted to bring their daughter out for some fun, so they naturally did not oppose Mo Xiaobai’s words.

But upon hearing Mo Xiaobai say this, Bai Hualin was not happy.

“If I don’t follow you, where can I go? No way, I’m going to the Western Regions too!”

“The climate in the Western Regions is even worse than here. Are you sure you can handle it? Don’t go to the Western Regions and end up with a yellow face.”

Mo Xiaobai chuckled and shook his head: “You should not go to the Western Regions this time. Actually, there is another big task for this Instance. I was not comfortable telling everyone in the channel yesterday, but now I can tell you.”

“What task?” Bai Hualin tilted her mouth, looking somewhat unwilling.

However, as Mo Xiaobai finished telling her about the “other big task,” Bai Hualin’s eyes widened, and she stared at Mo Xiaobai for a long time without saying a word.

A-Dai and Xin Yue nearby also heard it and looked equally shocked.

Even Mother Mo unconsciously frowned.

Without hesitation, Bai Hualin directly shook her head to refuse: “I won’t do it!”

“Why? What you do will be a good thing.”

“What good thing? It is clearly framing someone.”

“Whether it is framing or not, you will know once you get to Luoyang. You can investigate first; you will surely find something.” Mo Xiaobai shrugged. He believed that once Bai Hualin went to Luoyang, she would believe what he said.

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true. Also, A-Dai, you two, will Little Yue go to the Western Regions with us, or choose to stay?”

“I will go to Luoyang!”

The spunky girl made her decision before A-Dai could even speak, her eyes shimmering with interest: “I am quite interested in what you, Great God, said. Also, Luoyang at this time must be very prosperous; I have never seen a true ancient Imperial City.”

“Alright, please take good care of my mother and my sister on the way.” Mo Xiaobai nodded immediately. Going all the way to the Western Regions with several girls was indeed too conspicuous. Now that he was sending them all away, it was the best thing to do.

Seeing that Little Yue had chosen to go to Luoyang, Bai Hualin weighed her cold-resistance Attribute one last time and finally had to submit to Mo Xiaobai’s “persuasion.”

To Luoyang!

“Let’s go, I will send you out first.”

People could not walk around freely inside the Military Camp, so Mo Xiaobai had to personally escort the women out. He also wanted to know exactly which general he was assigned to, and he still needed to find Fatty, so he might as well go out of the camp to get everything done at once.

The entire Han Army Fort was not small. Mo Xiaobai asked for directions and left, walking for a long time before finally reaching the southeast side of the Fortress.

This was where the Players “spawned,” with gates for entering and exiting the Camp on both sides.

Once he got here, it was very simple for Mo Xiaobai to find Fatty.

Although many Players crowded around, Luyu, riding the White Qilin Horse and shaking his hips, stood out like a fat goose among chicks.

“Fatty, don’t blind people’s eyes here; come out quickly!” Communication could not be used inside the Instance, so Mo Xiaobai had to walk over and wave at him.

Seeing someone wave, Luyu paused for a moment, then a smile immediately appeared on his face: “Bro, I finally found you. Let’s go, let’s go talk outside.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luyu called over a young soldier nearby, leading a group of dozens on horseback to clear a path out of the Player Camp.

Once everyone emerged from the chaotic Camp, Fatty jumped off his horse: “We have known each other in this Plane for so long, but today is actually our first time meeting, right?”

“It is not late to meet now; let me introduce you.”

Mo Xiaobai nodded with a smile and pointed beside him: “These two beauties are Xiao Bai and Little Yue. Next to Little Yue is her boyfriend A-Dai. This is my mother, and this is my sister. They will be going to Luoyang and will not travel with us. This time, only the three of us men will go to the Western Regions. Can you handle it, Fatty?”
