"Then congratulations." Mo Xiuyao said without much sincerity.
Mo Jingli stared irritably at Mo Xiuyao, who was sitting on the throne. A sense of helplessness rose in his heart. It had been like this since he was young. It was as if he could never gain the upper hand in front of Mo Xiuyao. No matter how bad Mo Xiuyao's situation was, in this dangerous situation, it was as if the one who always lost was him. If he had Ling Tiehan's or even Mu Qingcang's strength, he could take this opportunity to rush up and stab Mo Xiuyao. But even in this situation, he still didn't dare to get close to Mo Xiuyao. He was afraid of Mo Xiuyao. Mo Jingli couldn't help but admit this in his heart. This was a fact that he had always been ashamed to admit.
"Kill him for zhen!" Seeing Mo Xiuyao's calm appearance, Mo Jingli suddenly lost his patience and became more and more annoyed.
A black clothed man stepped forward and cautiously walked up the throne room. But when he saw that Mo Xiuyao didn't react, he became more confident that Mo Xiuyao was poisoned. He gathered his courage and took a few steps forward. The man was so agitated that the corners of his eyes twitched a few times. No one would be able to remain calm if they wanted to kill Prince Ding with their own hands. He finally drew his sword and slashed towards Mo Xiuyao. No one saw Mo Xiuyao make a move, but they heard the black clothed man scream. He was thrown down from the throne room and fell to the ground, spitting out blood. It was clear that he had been thrown down by someone with extremely high internal strength.
Everyone present let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that Mo Xiuyao was fine, they didn't know if they should feel lucky or regretful.
Mo Jingli's expression turned even uglier. "You're not poisoned?"
Mo Xiuyao ignored Mo Jingli's question and said indifferently, "You can't kill I. Now, what do you want to do?" Mo Jingli's face was extremely ugly. After a while, he sneered, "So what if I can't kill you? We don't believe that they aren't poisoned like you! Kill them all! "
The men in black who came with Mo Jingli were all fugitives who knew that they were going to die. When they heard Mo Jingli's order, they didn't care who the guests were and directly drew their swords to attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless arrows pierced through the air. At the same time, the guests all stood up. Those who knew martial arts stood up to fight back, while those who did not know martial arts dodged. In just a few moments, the men in black that Mo Jingli had brought with him all fell to the ground. He was not subdued by the guests present. Instead, he fell to the ground like the previous guests.
"This … what's going on?" Mo Jingli said angrily. Although he wasn't completely poisoned, the people around him, including Mo Jingyu, weren't spared.
"You have the nerve to use such a small trick like the Agarwood Intoxication!" Shen Yang's voice came from a corner of the hall. "The Agarwood Intoxication is indeed a very good knockout drug. It's colorless and tasteless. It can be mixed in water and can be burned. It's a pity that the antidote is easy to find. And … the most common antidote is the Ice Jade Orchid. But … if one takes the antidote made from the Agarwood Fruit and smells the Ice Jade Orchid, it will become another type of poison. "
Everyone then realized that the flowers used to decorate the hall were all orchids, and more than half of them were Ice Jade Orchids. Only, the Ice Jade Orchid was a type of orchid with very small flowers. It was placed among many other expensive orchids, and if one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to see it.
Mo Jingli's face turned black. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Yang! As expected, it's you who spoiled our plans again! "
Shen Yang smiled and said, "Prince Li is too kind. It's just a coincidence."
Coincidence my ass! How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Mo Xiuyao clearly knew of his plan long ago. He even knew clearly what kind of poison he was going to use.
"Prince Ding really has good methods. In order to capture us, he didn't hesitate to risk the lives of so many guests." Mo Jingli gritted his teeth and said. If he didn't care about anything when he first came in and just slashed randomly, even if Mo Xiuyao had people secretly protecting him, he definitely wouldn't be able to protect every single one of them. As expected, when these words were said, the guests' faces turned ugly. They didn't care if Prince Ding wanted to capture Mo Jingli, but if he used their lives as bait, that was too much.
"Prince Ding, what do you mean by this?" The envoy from the Western Regions knew Mo Xiuyao the least, so he took the initiative to question him.
Mo Xiuyao smiled calmly and said, "I've frightened everyone. It's just that … the song and dance are boring, so I invited everyone to watch a good show. I guarantee that no one will be hurt. "
"What guarantee does Prince Ding have?!" someone asked sharply.
"Based on the fact that no one is hurt. Jhennam King of Gojoseon, Crown Prince Yelu, Queen of Nanzhao, Princess He Lan, what do you think? "Mo Xiuyao asked with a smile. Lei Tengfeng sighed and said, "I admit defeat. Prince Ding is brilliant. I concede defeat."
Yelu Hong was even more direct. "This humble prince admits defeat. I'll add another thousand horses to Prince Ding." Since the horses had already been given, there wasn't much of a difference between ten thousand and eleven thousand horses. Yelu Hong admitted that he could afford to lose.
Princess Anxi was worried about her child. She nodded slightly and said, "I concede defeat as well."
Princess He Lan blinked and giggled. Everyone's eyes lit up and shone brightly. "It's said that the people of the Central Plains are very smart. Prince Ding is the smartest among them. I concede defeat as well. Within two years, I'll charge you 20% less for the furs and herbs that my Northern Tribes sells to the Prince Ding Mansion. "
Mo Xiuyao nodded satisfactorily and said with a smile, "Thank you. Since all of you are so generous, this Prince will kindly accept it. "
"Mo Xiuyao!" Mo Jingli couldn't help but roar. How could he not understand that he had been tricked by Mo Xiuyao? He was even used as a bet with the Northern Tribes and Nanzhao of Xiling. Such humiliation almost made Mo Jingli lose his mind.
Mo Jingyu, who had fallen to the ground, was pale and unfocused. It's over …
Mo Xiuyao said leisurely, "Jingli, I told you more than ten years ago that you shouldn't do things that require you to use your brain. That's not suitable for you. With your personality, if you have the upper hand, how can you make a clean move without humiliating I? If I were you, I wouldn't even enter this hall. I'd just shoot arrows from outside. "
"Do you think I only have these bargaining chips?" Mo Jingli sneered. Although he was extremely angry, Mo Jingli was no longer a teenager. He quickly controlled his anger.
Mo Xiuyao raised his brows and said, "What else do you want to say? Oh, right, the Prince of Nanzhao is in your hands, right? " Mo Jingli sneered but didn't say anything. Mo Xiuyao didn't care. He said calmly, "So what if he's in your hands? That child is in Glass City, right? Whose house are you hiding in? I don't believe you have many strongholds in Glass City. You … who can tell I where Mo Jingli is hiding the Prince of Nanzhao? "Mo Xiuyao looked down at the people below him.
No one spoke for a while. Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyes and said, "No one is willing to say? I wonder if your family members are willing to say? " Everyone's expression changed. Most of them were the heads or important figures of famous families. Their families were definitely not as simple as a normal family with a few dozen people. Hundreds of people were implicated. The calamity of extermination … everyone trembled.
