414. The Thorny Throne
With the victory at Feihong Pass, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li set off for Licheng. Conquering the world could be achieved through military strength, though governing it could not rely solely on force. Even with Young Master Qingchen holding the fort, there were several matters in Licheng that required Mo Xiuyao's personal handling. From the time they set off from Licheng to the Northern Territory last year, the couple had been away for an astonishing ten months. Ten months sounded long, but considering the time taken to pacify the Northern Territory, expel Beirong, and defeat Nanchu and Xiling, it was surprisingly short. All these military accomplishments would have been glorious enough for any man to live off for three generations. Yet, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li had achieved them in merely ten months. When people recollected these formidable feats, aside from being astounded, there were truly no words to be spoken.
