Yaoji nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems like someone saw Mo Jingli appear in the northwest."
"Mo Jingli?" Everyone was stunned. They were surprised to hear this name. Ever since Liyang was broken, Mo Jingli had disappeared without a trace. It wasn't that they didn't think of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, but it was because Feihong Pass was in a state of emergency that they couldn't find the time to do so. After that, when the display was over, Mo Jingli had already disappeared without a trace. In this world, there was a sea of people. If one really wanted to hide, it wouldn't be easy to find someone.
Moreover, Mo Jingli had been stripped of his throne. He didn't have any troops or power in his hands. His martial arts weren't that high either, so not many people cared about his whereabouts.
"Are you sure?" Mo Xiuyao frowned and asked.
Yaoji shook her head and said, "I can't be sure for now."
Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and said, "Reveal this news to Mo Jingyu." Mo Jingyu, who now held the power of the Da Chu State, probably didn't want to see Mo Jingli appear more than them, right?
"This subordinate obeys." Yaoji nodded and replied.
In a small hidden village outside of Glass City, a man wearing coarse clothes with a face full of beard sat in a simple room with a twisted expression, lost in thought.
"Your Majesty." A similarly dressed man walked in and bowed.
The man turned to look at him and said coldly, "Is there any news from Glass City?"
The man said in a deep voice, "King Yu has already brought the newly ascended emperor, Mo Suiyun, to Glass City. At the same time, the newly appointed Jhennam Of Gojoseon, Lei Tengfeng, also arrived. Today … the little heir of Prince Ding's residence secretly brought Mo Suiyun and sneaked out. Mo Jingyu almost overturned this glass city. In the end, he found the little emperor in a restaurant. "
The man in coarse clothes, Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. He sneered and said, "Mo Jingyu really thinks highly of this Mo Suiyun! I didn't expect … that the one who would stab me in the back would be him! " In fact, Mo Jingli wasn't the only one who had stabbed him in the back. The Empress Dowager, the ministers and nobles in the court, and even the entire Da Chu State's imperial family. From this, it could be seen how unpopular Mo Jingli was.
The man hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "Your Majesty, should we …"
Mo Jingli sneered. "No, send a message to Mo Jingyu. Tell him that We want to see him."
"This … Your Majesty, could this be …" They could be considered to be fugitives right now. No matter if they were caught by the Prince Ding Mansion or the Da Chu State's imperial court, they would definitely not have a good ending. At this time, the Emperor still wanted to take the initiative to deliver himself to the door. How could people not worry?
Mo Jingli said in a low voice, "We only know what to do. Go and do it."
After hesitating for a moment, the man nodded and turned to leave.
Mo Jingli lowered his eyes to stare at the somewhat crude and dirty table in front of him. His expression kept changing. Two months ago, if someone had told him that he would one day wear crude and dirty rags and live in this shabby room that could barely shelter him from the wind and rain, he would definitely have torn that person to pieces. But in this month, Mo Jingli could be said to have suffered a lot. In order to avoid the Prince Ding Mansion and the Da Chu State's imperial court's search, he not only disguised himself as a commoner and ate coarse food, but he even had to deal with beggars and vagabonds. He suffered a lot and took countless dangerous paths to avoid everyone's eyes and ears to sneak into the vicinity of Glass City. His goal naturally wasn't just to take a look.
Although he was in such dire straits right now, Mo Jingli had been a Prince and an Emperor for decades. He more or less had some hidden cards in his hands that no one knew about. It was because of this that he had the courage to sneak into the Northwest and find his way to the Mohist army's headquarters, Glass City. But he wasn't in a hurry to enter the city. Right now, Glass City was definitely heavily guarded. Although there weren't many people who could recognize him, Mo Jingli had already experienced the power of the Mohist army's Shadow Guard. So he didn't want to be too impatient and take the risk.
As for Mo Jingli … A cold smile appeared on Mo Jingli's face. He dared to meet Mo Jingyu openly, so he naturally had enough chips to protect himself.
In an inconspicuous little teahouse in Glass City, Mo Jingyu pushed open the door to a side room and saw the man in plain clothes sitting inside. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You're quite daring." Indeed, he was quite daring. If it was someone else, they definitely wouldn't dare to sneak into the Mohist army's headquarters.
Mo Jingli lightly snorted. He sized up Mo Jingyu for a moment and said mockingly, "You're holding great power now. We really didn't expect that in the end … the one who would benefit from it would be you. "
Mo Jingyu didn't mind. He cupped his hands and smiled, "You're too polite. It's just a coincidence. What business do you have with me? "Mo Jingyu didn't place Mo Jingli in his eyes at all. In the past, he was the powerful Prince Li, Emperor Chu. But now, he was the assistant Prince of the Da Chu State. And Mo Jingli was just a stray dog who had to hide in a sorry state. Thinking of this, Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with a trace of pleasure.
Mo Jingli said, "Of course there's a business. I want you to help me do something. "
"Why do you think I'll agree?" Mo Jingyu raised his eyebrows.
Mo Jingli looked at him and asked, "Then … do you want the Da Chu State's imperial jade seal?"
"So it was you who took the imperial jade seal!" Mo Jingyu's face darkened as he said coldly. Ever since Mo Jingli's disappearance, whether it was in Nanjing or Liyang, the Da Chu State's imperial jade seal had not been found. The imperial jade seal symbolized the supreme imperial power. Although it wasn't impossible to make another one, if the imperial jade seal was left outside, it would be a huge joke to the Da Chu State's imperial family. If someone came out with the imperial jade seal to cause trouble in the future, it would be even more troublesome. So the Da Chu State's imperial family secretly sent people to search for Mo Jingli. One reason was to get rid of him, and the other was to find the imperial jade seal's whereabouts.
Mo Jingli smiled, "You don't have to help me. We can also give the imperial jade seal to someone else … Of course, there's also Prince Yu's smiling face." This someone else was naturally his political enemy. For example, ever since the new Emperor ascended the throne, his brothers who gradually wanted to compete with him, or the Empress Dowager. Right now, Mo Jingqi was dead, and Mo Jingli was stranded outside. The Empress Dowager was old, and the Emperor was young. There were more and more people who had other thoughts. If the imperial jade seal fell into someone else's hands, it wouldn't be a good thing for Mo Jingyu.
"What do you want me to do?" Mo Jingyu asked in a low voice.
Mo Jingli said coldly, "I want you to help me … get rid of Mo Suiyun and Mo Yuchen."
"You're crazy!" Mo Jingyu stood up and turned to leave.
"You really won't consider it?" Mo Jingli's voice came from behind. Mo Jingyu turned around and sneered, "Consider it? Do you think I'm stupid? Kill Mo Yuchen in Glass City? Don't mention killing Mo Yuchen, I'm afraid if I touch a single hair on his head, I'll die without a complete corpse. "The imperial jade seal was very attractive, but even if he gave the throne to him, he had to be alive to enjoy it.
"You think I can't do it?" Mo Jingli wasn't nervous at all. Compared to Mo Jingyu, he didn't need to be too nervous. He had already lost everything he could. The only thing he had left was probably his own life. However, he, Mo Jingli, couldn't live in hiding forever. Rather than that, he might as well fight to the death! But Mo Jingyu was different. He had endured for half his life. Now that he finally had power, he naturally had to be careful with every step, afraid that he would make a mistake.
