Hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, Feng Zhiyao felt his heart suddenly become clear. He smiled with some shame and said, "I'm thinking too much. Prince probably already has an idea. Then … the Mohist army will be on high alert and wait for the enemy to come. However … this subordinate thinks that it's best not to face Mo Jingqi's people from the start. " Mo Xiuyao looked at him with raised eyebrows. Feng Zhiyao said, "Mo Jingqi is wantonly slandering Prince. If we face Mo Jingqi from the start, I'm afraid that Prince will be accused of plotting a rebellion."
Mo Xiuyao gave a light snort and clearly didn't care. He only asked, "What is the reaction of the Mohist army's soldiers?"
"The Mohist army has been suppressed by Mo Jingqi all these years. They are very clear about this matter. Naturally, they will follow Prince's orders." Feng Zhiyao felt a bit helpless. He really didn't understand why Prince didn't even consider refuting the dirty water that Mo Jingqi had poured on him. Even he was clear about the importance of the people's hearts, but Prince didn't seem to care about this problem at all. As if he saw through Feng Zhiyao's thoughts, Mo Xiuyao said lightly, "No matter how you argue, the Mohist army is gradually leaving Da Chu State. No matter how much you say, in the eyes of many people, you're just trying to cover it up. Mo Jingqi likes to play, so I will play with him. He has been spoiled by the late emperor and empress dowager. The world of those who win the hearts of the people … does he think it's that easy to win the hearts of the people? Don't worry about Mo Jingqi. Send a message to Han Mingxi and ask him to come back to see I. Also, tell Leng Haoyu to come back as soon as possible. I have something to tell them. "
Feng Zhiyao nodded in agreement. When Leng Haoyu was mentioned, Feng Zhiyao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Prince, do you think General Murong should …" Murong Shen was also considered a famous general of Da Chu State, and had once followed Mo Liufang. Now, Murong Shen's only daughter was the wife of Leng Haoyu, one of Mo Xiuyao's most trusted men. So it was natural to draw Murong Shen to his side. Mo Xiuyao pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Not for now. General Murong is definitely Mo Jingqi's first suspect, and he is definitely surrounded by spies. As long as Mo Jingqi doesn't do anything to General Murong, there's no need to alert him for the time being. The South … also needs a reliable general to guard it. Although I don't like Mo Jingqi, I don't want those Southern Barbarians to set foot inside the Great Pass! "Hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, Feng Zhiyao knew what to do. Mo Xiuyao obviously had confidence in Murong Shen, but now he still needed Murong Shen to stay in the South. Tilting his head and thinking, Feng Zhiyao also understood Mo Xiuyao's idea. If talking about the surrounding countries, which one did Feng Zhiyao hate the most, he would definitely choose Nanzhao. Different from the valiant Xiling and Northern Tribes, the Nanzhao tribes had different fierce customs, but they were definitely the most xenophobic of all the countries. And those messy and dazzling poisonous insects and ants, Feng Zhiyao really didn't want to imagine what would happen if they turned the beautiful and rich Central Plains into a place full of poisonous insects and snakes.
"I understand. I'll do it immediately."
Mo Xiuyao nodded and asked Feng Zhiyao to leave. Feng Zhiyao cupped his hands and left. Looking at Mo Xiuyao, who was sitting behind the desk and lost in thought, he moved his lips and wanted to say something. But in the end, he swallowed his words and quietly left the study.
Ye Li walked back with a basket of wild vegetables in the sunset. Her beautiful face was a healthy red in the sun, and small beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Although she was already well, it was still a bit difficult for her to go up the mountain while being more than seven months pregnant. Taking advantage of the good weather today, she went to the small river where Doctor Lin found her. The winding but rapidly-flowing river was obviously not the same as the one she fell from. It was not even a branch of the river. At the end of the river was a waterfall falling from a high place, but Ye Li knew that she definitely didn't fall from the waterfall. That waterfall was at least twenty meters high, and there was also the shallow river below. Even if the gravity of the fall didn't kill her, it would definitely be enough to kill her. So, it was very likely that there was an underground river below the waterfall, and she might have been washed out from there. Unfortunately … Looking at the rapidness of the water, even if her guess was correct, it was not a suitable way to go back. Furthermore, she was pregnant, so it was even more impossible. Helplessly giving up on the idea of going in to investigate, Ye Li gathered some wild vegetables and fruits that she could use before strolling back to the small village she had lived in for several months.
Doctor Lin and Ye Li's hut was at the outermost edge of the small village. At this time, it was already time for smoke to rise from the chimneys of the houses. In the small village, there was not a single person to be seen. From afar, Ye Li saw that there was no smoke coming from Doctor Lin's hut. She raised her eyebrows in confusion. Master hasn't returned yet? Didn't he say that he wouldn't go out today? Slowly walking into two small wooden huts not far from each other, Ye Li's beautiful eyebrows gradually furrowed. There were people in Doctor Lin's hut, and there was more than one. Normally, there wouldn't be anyone in the village at this time of the year, and … from the sounds, it seemed like they were trained.
Putting down the basket, Ye Li carefully held her belly and walked to the back of Doctor Lin's hut. Near the study, there was a small window. Although Doctor Lin didn't like to read those books, he cherished them very much and often opened the window to let in some fresh air. As she approached the opened window, she heard the sounds from inside become clearer. It was obvious that these people were in the study. Ye Li carefully held her breath and walked to the window. Through the gap, she looked inside. Doctor Lin sat on an old chair with a cold face. There were two men standing in the study. One of them was talking to Doctor Lin, while the other was rummaging through the rows of bookshelves, looking for something. The books on the bookshelves were all messed up and scattered all over the floor.
"Old Mister Lin, we don't want to hurt you. Please take out the thing. It's useless for you to keep it. Why don't you teach it to us and save us some trouble? " The middle-aged man standing in front of Doctor Lin said with a calm smile. It was obvious that he didn't want to be rough with Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin's eyelids twitched, and he indifferently said, "This old man doesn't know what you're talking about." The middle-aged man didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Doctor Lin, why are you playing dumb? You should know that since we've found this place, we won't be fooled by you. You've already lived here for thirty years. I'm sure you want to continue enjoying your old age. That thing is just a pile of waste paper to you, but it's extremely important to me. Seeing that you and I have a good relationship, why don't you help him? "
Hearing this, Doctor Lin's face slightly changed. The corner of his lips trembled. It was obvious that his mood was somewhat disturbed. After a long time, he coldly snorted and said, "What do you mean by I, this old man, don't understand. I don't know what you're talking about either. "
The middle-aged man frowned. He looked at Doctor Lin with displeasure and said, "Old Mister Lin, that thing was originally my family's heirloom. It's only natural that we want it back. If you keep it for yourself, you're going too far. "Doctor Lin coldly snorted. He closed his eyes and didn't say anything else. The other man had already searched the entire study but didn't find anything. He said with annoyance, "It's not here!" The middle-aged man didn't have much patience. He looked at Doctor Lin with an unfriendly gaze. "Doctor Lin, I've told you that because of your kindness in raising me, we have to be polite to you. However … it's best that you don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." Doctor Lin opened his eyes and looked at him. He indifferently said, "This old man hasn't drunk wine for thirty years. You can leave. If he wants something, let him tell me. "
