His mother smiled and comforted him, "Silly girl, who said that a girl can't be a pirate? As long as you are doing it for everyone's good and for everyone's benefit, no matter if you are a man or a woman, everyone will love and respect you in the future. Look, aren't there a lot of respectable people in our country that are girls? When women get stronger, one is equivalent to ten men. " The mother gently stroked her head.

"Really?" Hearing her mother say so, the little girl burst into tears and smiled.

"Alright, then I will not only be a female pirate, but also protect everyone, protect my mother, and be a great general."

"Okay, my good girl. Come, dry your eyes, and let's go. " As the woman spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the little girl's tears, and the two of them walked away.

When Wei Duohong heard these words, his heart immediately became cheerful, and the tangled matters in his heart also began to be relieved.

This little girl had been her dream ever since she was young. Becoming a general had always been her dream.

"I wonder what Leng Yue will choose?" At night, Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying were walking side by side on the beach. The night wind was blowing, but it couldn't blow away the worries on her face.

"She can only walk the path of peace." Mu Ying analyzed calmly.

"First of all, they can't compete with the imperial court, and the people on the island need a peaceful life. They can't live only with loot every day. Besides, Wei Duohong also wanted to regain his identity as a woman, to unload this heavy burden, and to be an upright and honorable person. After all, once we're old enough, we'll have to get married and have children, right? " As Mu Yong said this, he glanced at Xue Ruyun.

Xue Ruoyun shyly lowered his head. "I hope that's the case." Even though Mu Yong said this, Xue Ruoyun still didn't feel reassured.

The two of them walked forward in silence. As the tide came in, the afterglow of the setting sun caused their silhouettes to be long and close to each other. The sound of the sea breeze was distant and majestic.

The two of them only walked for a short distance before they saw a person walking towards them. It was Wei Duohong.

When Xue Ruyun saw her, he happily went up to her. "You're here."

Mu Sheng looked at Wei Duohong, who was still dressed as a man, looking handsome and confident. Seeing that they were so intimate, she couldn't help but begin to feel jealous again.

He quickly followed, pretending to be unintentionally separated the two, he took the lead and said, "You came down. How was it? Have you considered it?"

"I think you can call me Leng Yue from now on." Wei Duhong laughed.

"Really? "Great!" By saying this, Wei Duohong indicated that she had already thought things through. She wanted to accept the invitation, and she wanted to regain her identity as a woman.

"Have you really thought about it? It's great of you to think so. " Xue Moyan took her hand.

"Hmm, life is short, why is it only me? The world outside the island is still very big. Why don't I go take a look? " Wei Duhong turned around and lightly waved his fan. He still had an elegant and unrestrained look on his face.

"Alright, alright. Then, tomorrow we will go up the mountain and write a letter of acceptance. We will arrange the following matters." With Mu Sheng's arrangements, this matter was finally coming to an end. Once they were done, they could bring Xue Ruyun back to the capital with them.

"No rush." Wei Duohong said as he closed his folding fan.

"Why?" Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying were puzzled. Could it be that he was just speaking casually just now?

"What? You want to go back on your word?" Mu Ying stared at her with a cold expression.

"Accepting a visit is the only way out. It's just that I haven't decided how I'm going to explain it to everyone. This is also the reason why I'm here today. " Wei Duohong gloomily looked into the distance.

Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying looked at each other, confused. After a while, Wei Duohong finally spoke up.

"I have something that I need your help with."

"What is it? Please speak." Xue Luoyun asked.

"It's just that this matter is a bit difficult, I'm afraid that the Prince would not agree." Wei Duohong wanted to say something, but he hesitated as he looked at Mu Sheng.

"Tell me about it first."

"I would like to ask you to follow me up the mountain and persuade everyone."

"What, why is that?" Xue Ruyun didn't understand why he still needed to bring Mu Ying along, because this matter was truly difficult. After all, right now the two armies were at loggerheads.

"I know that this matter is indeed a little unreasonable. Forcing others to make things difficult is something that I have my own selfish motives." Wei Duohong said with a bit of shame.

"Because, one day, sister, you are deeply loved and respected by the people on the island. Everyone will definitely believe what you say, and it will be easier for you to agree to it. Secondly, you can help me confirm my identity as a woman. Because for the past few days, everyone has treated us like the divine couple on the island. Now, we are going to disappoint everyone. Thirdly, he wanted the prince to promise him everything he had said that day in front of everyone. I assure you that life on this island will be as peaceful as it is now. That way I can relax. " Wei Duhong had considered this matter carefully for a long time before coming up with anything.

"Alright, I promise you." As soon as Wei Duohong finished speaking, Mu Sheng agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, that's great. I'll be waiting for you in the main hall of the island tomorrow morning." Wei was relieved.

"Alright." Mu Sheng nodded.

After they finished talking, they all went back to their own camps.

"My lord, please don't. This is probably the enemy's plan to delay the war." When the generals in the tent heard that Wei Duhong wanted Mu Ying to go up the mountain, they hurriedly tried to stop him.

"No, please believe me. The people on the island are all good people and they want to live a stable life. They don't want to live a life of fear and trepidation. Great King, she just wanted the prince to personally promise them. Only the words of the Prince would have such conviction. I can assure you all that the prince will be all right. " Xue Luoyun promised.

"Hmph." Mu Ying's vice general, Solitary General, snorted coldly as he couldn't be bothered to deal with her. Even though he had a fiery temper, he was still sincere.

It could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with Xue Luoyun in his heart. If it weren't for the face of the prince, he would have already started to speak ill of her.

In their eyes, right now, the two armies were at a stalemate, and Xue Ruoyun's sudden change in direction aroused their suspicions.

In addition, she had previously betrayed the Prince, so everyone was puzzled and resentful towards her.

In addition, up until now, Xue Luoyun had yet to reveal her pure identity to everyone, so everyone looked at her with a strange gaze. It felt like she was an unclean woman.

"Your Highness, at this time, he is inviting Your Highness to the island. What if you lure him to the mountain, frame him, and then take advantage of the lack of a leader in the army to attack?" The deputy general was deep in thought and tried his best to dissuade him.

"Yes, Your Highness cannot go." Everyone felt that this was impossible.

"But if we don't go up the mountain and can't promise them anything, it would be hard to convince the masses." One of them said as he stood in the direction of Cheng'an.

"I have a plan. Your highness, why don't you let your subordinate take his place?" The deputy general beside him said.

"This is a good plan." Everyone agreed with him. He was also the commander in chief of the army, so letting him go would have the same effect.

"However, we have already promised Wei Duohong today. If we change tomorrow, it will give off the feeling of not trusting others, and they will worry about whether our promise to them is true or false." Xue Ruyun urged Mu Sheng in a low voice.

When a lone deputy general saw this, he couldn't help but feel somewhat angry in his heart. He loudly said, "We are currently discussing matters with the prince …." The meaning behind his words was that Xue Ruyun had something to say.

"Don't be rude!" Hearing him say that, Mu Ying reprimanded him angrily. He actually dared to speak like this to his woman.

They didn't understand the inner workings of this matter. Didn't Mu Sheng understand it yet?

"Your Highness, I …" Solitary General was also full of grievance.

"There's no need for that. I've already made up my mind. That's all." Mu Ying waved his hand as he spoke.

"Your Highness, please reconsider." All the generals kneeled in the tent.

"Everyone, don't worry. It seems like that Wei Duhong isn't a treacherous person. Furthermore, with my skill, everyone should be relieved. " Knowing that everyone was thinking for his sake, Mu Ying softened his stance and comforted everyone.

"Your Highness, it's not that we doubt your ability, but you have just recovered from a serious illness and are still recovering, so you shouldn't take this risk. Moreover, that group of bandits have done all sorts of evil deeds, there is no need for us to give them another chance, and now that they have lost, it's still fine if they take revenge, but if they don't agree, we can just force our way up the mountain, and there will be nothing they can do. " Although General Dan knew that Mu Ying was angry, he still risked his life to persuade him.

"You can't!" Xue Ruoyun hurriedly urged, "Most of the people on this mountain are women, and most of the people here are children. The pirates fought with you before and they suffered heavy injuries. Going up now was simply adding fuel to the fire. Moreover, you will be tricked by the Prince for his injustice. " Xue Ruyun hastily stopped him.

"Miss Xue is always defending that pirate. Are you on the same side as that pirate, or are you on the same side as us?" She could no longer hold back the resentment in her heart.

"How dare you!" Mu Ying threw the cup in his hand out. With a stern expression, he actually slandered his beloved woman. If it wasn't for the fact that he had followed her for so many years, Mu Ying would have long since pulled him out and cut him down.

"Prince, please calm your anger." Everyone quivered and did not dare to say anything else.

When Xue Ruyun saw this situation, he hurriedly advised, "General Dan, please trust me. I absolutely did not say anything that would harm everyone. I only hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully. I promise you, if tomorrow, I will also follow you up the mountain. If anything happens to you, your highness, I am willing to raise my head and meet you. " Xue Ruyun guaranteed with every word.

Hearing her say that, no one said anything else.

Mu Ying glanced at Xue Ruyun, then waved his hand at everyone. "You may leave."

"Yes." The crowd unwillingly retreated.

At this moment, only Xue Luoyun and Mu Ying were left in the tent.

"I'm sorry, but General Chen's reaction was too violent. He hurt you, so don't mind so much." Mu Rong Zhan was worried and comforted. He knew that General Dan was a person who didn't care about the situation. He only cared about the overall situation. They didn't know that Wei Duhong was a woman, so they misunderstood him.

"They don't know the truth, so some misunderstandings are unavoidable. Didn't you misunderstand me before as well? I don't blame you. On the contrary, I'm happy that you have such a bold general. "His heart is for you, and for our army. Such a general is a good general." Xue Muyun's heart was wide.
