Chapter 632.2 - Discovery, hiding place (Part 2) (2/2)
He was pleading guilty for yesterday’s mistrust and for allowing Lin Chujiu to face the danger alone.
Lin Chujiu sat down on the main seat but didn’t look at Mo Qingfeng, nor let him stand. She simply said: “What is the urgent matter that Mo Gongzi has to see me now?”
Xiao Tianyao said nicely that he will leave all military affairs to her and she will be fully in charge. But how would she handle military affairs as a woman?
In fact, Mo Qingfeng was completely in charge of military affairs. Her existence was just to come out to stabilize the people when encountering danger and trouble. And also, sacrifice herself for the whole army when necessary.
