Nanyang has fallen, the Qingzhou army almost entirely obliterated. After the city's fall, the Prefect of Qingzhou, Xia Liangqing, chose to die a martyr.
The refugees heading south are increasing in number.
This news is undoubtedly bad for Pingting County and the government office.
But for Chen Mo, it's actually good news.
Moreover, Chen Mo has to admit, he hopes the Celestial Master Army in the north can win.
After all, he's also embarked on the path of rebellion, trading private salt, committing crimes beyond redemption.
If the Celestial Master Army were to be defeated, the court would surely follow up with relentless persecution, and he wouldn't be able to escape far.
Now that the Celestial Master Army has won, there will be a tall figure to bear the brunt, and the court's attention will be entirely on them, providing him with time to grow.
As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there's a tall person to hold it up.
