Chapter 4412: Big News

Qiao Mu nodded. "Speaking of which, it actually has two younger brothers. It's called Little Red, the second brother is called Little Little Red, and the third brother is called Little Little Little Red."

Crown Prince Mo's expression at that moment was a bit hard to describe. He looked at Little Red with great sympathy, then lightly coughed and said, "But isn't it a black dragon?"

Calling it Little Black would probably sound better than Little Red, wouldn't it? It sounds so effeminate, like some helper in a brothel...

"But it's covered in scarlet blood patterns," the little girl argued, her small eyes glancing at the Crown Prince. "Do you think this name isn't good?"

I've been calling it that since a very, very long time ago!

The Crown Prince immediately shook his head without principle, indicating, "No, no, Qiao Qiao's name is really good."

This little broken dragon hadn't expressed any objections, and he wasn't so bored as to argue with his wife over such a trivial matter...

"This name is naturally good," Qiao Mu nodded her small head. "Just like me, my sister, and my brother, Qiao Mu, Qiao Lin, Qiao Sen—you can tell they're siblings! Blood relatives who can't be separated, just by hearing their names, you know they're a family."

"Yes, yes, yes," Crown Prince Mo nodded helplessly, stepped forward, hugged his wife, and kissed her hard. "Wife, do you want more sweet soup? Jujube and longan soup."

The little girl's eyes lit up.

The smile on Crown Prince Mo's lips widened. He looked down and saw that the little broken dragon's two round eyes also lit up. This little expression was truly as comical as its owner's.

Luyu Pass, Cangzhou

Since His Majesty personally arrived three days ago and took down the bandit leader with a single arrow, the morale of the central army has been greatly boosted. After many days of purging and encirclement, the scattered bandit groups, left with no choice, could only flee en masse towards the deep mountains and old forests.

Duan Yue ordered the mountains to be surrounded and hunted, killing them one by one.

"Who are you? You've been lurking here, peeking!"

A black-clad youth, riding alongside Duan Yue, looked back. He saw two soldiers pushing and shoving a person whose face was unclear.

The person cried out, "Ow!" and blurted, "Hey, let go, let go, quickly let go, my shoulder is about to be twisted off by you."

Duan Yue heard the familiar voice, glanced sideways, and slightly raised a hand.

The black-clad youth said, "Release her."

The two soldiers let go, pushing the person heavily in front of them. With a thud, Wu Ruomei's knees hit the ground hard, making her wince in pain.

"Wuyi, send her back." Duan Yue glanced at her, then turned to leave.

Wu Ruomei quickly called out, "Hey, wait, wait! Your Majesty, I came here with important news to report! I'm not just messing around."

The black-clad youth had already dismounted and walked to Miss Wu's side, intending to take this troublesome Miss Wu away, when he heard her continuously cry out, "Big news, big news! I, I have a letter, a letter to prove it!"

Duan Yue waved his hand, instructing someone to bring the letter to him. He lowered his head and read it once, then looked at her with slightly deepened eyes. "Does your father know about this?"

Wu Ruomei scratched her head with a playful smile. "My father, he... he probably doesn't know."

Duan Yue looked at her expressionlessly. "You didn't use a communication talisman, running back and forth for days and nights. By the time you inform me of this, it would have already become uncontrollable."

"Huh?" Wu Ruomei looked at him, a little confused, and cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, you already knew?"

She thought she had found a big piece of news in the market!
