217. The Resentment of the Ill Scholar
The news of the Mo Family Army's break from Great Chu spread like wildfire in an alarmingly short period throughout the entire Great Chu and the surrounding countries. The enormity of its impact was something Mo Jingqi had not anticipated. Not only were the deceived common people and literati extremely displeased with the imperial court, but even the princes stationed across different regions began to grow restless. This was not to mention the increasingly frequent military maneuvers by neighboring countries. Aside from the Beirong in the north, who were eager to advance, even some small northern tribes began to sporadically instigate provocations at the border. While the monarch and officials in the Capital of Great Chu might still be cursing in rage, the common people of the various border regions of Great Chu had already experienced firsthand what it meant to lose the Mo Family Army.
