Mo Xiuyao sneered, "Wait. If we don't teach Mo Jingqi a lesson, he won't know what it means to stop. Even though we're not afraid of him, mosquitoes and flies can be a nuisance. "
Hearing Mo Xiuyao's words, Ye Li didn't say anything more. She leaned against the horse next to her and observed the fight. The horses of the Prince Ding Mansion were all excellent warhorses. Even though they were fighting on the official road, the horses only ran to the grass on the side of the road and quietly grazed on the grass. They didn't seem frightened at all. Some of the horses even stood on the official road and took the opportunity to trample on the black-clothed assassins who had been knocked to the ground.
Even though the assassins tried their best to stall for time, it only took a little more than a quarter of an hour before the group of assassins were all lying flat on the ground. The bodyguards who followed Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li to the South had already had enough of being watched from the shadows no matter where they went. It wasn't easy for them to get some exercise, so naturally they couldn't hold back. When they stopped, they still complained that their opponents were too weak.
Mo Xiuyao naturally couldn't really stop and wait for the other party to come knocking on his door. The group could only continue on their way. As for the corpses on the official road, no one paid any attention to them. After all, commoners didn't walk on the official road, so they didn't have to worry about scaring people.
The group knew that they were nearing Shattered Snow Pass by the next day, but they still didn't see anyone chasing after them. If it was Mo Jingqi's men, they wouldn't be so slow. Mo Xiuyao frowned and waved his hand, ordering, "You guys go back and tie up all the Deputy Generals along the way." Several Qi Lin men heard the order and immediately went forward to ask, "Prince, should we kill them?" Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "Tie them up if you can, kill them if you can't."
"This subordinate obeys!" How could they, the Qi Lin, not have a mission that they couldn't complete? Immediately, the group decided that they had to kidnap all of the Deputy Generals of the eleven Da Chu State cities that were seriously ill and bring them back to the northwest. Although it was a bit of a pity, why didn't the Prince give the order to kidnap the general? The position of Deputy General did not sound too difficult.
Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao asked curiously, "Prince, didn't they stop chasing us? Looks like he's quite tactful. " Mo Jingqi definitely wouldn't just send a group of people to assassinate them, and they didn't hide their tracks along the way. The only explanation was that the generals guarding the city had no intention of chasing after them.
The corners of Mo Xiuyao's lips curled up slightly as he said coldly, "There's a price to pay for making I wait for nothing."
Feng Zhiyao couldn't help but shiver. In the end, it was Mo Jingqi who had provoked the Prince, right? Thinking about Mo Jingqi's expression when the news of all the Deputy Generals suddenly being kidnapped and disappearing reached the Chu capital, Feng Zhiyao was secretly amused. If they could kidnap the Deputy Generals, they could naturally kidnap the general. He believed that their journey back from Nanzhao would be much smoother and cleaner.
"Prince, Shattered Snow Pass is up ahead. Do you think General Murong would … "
Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said, "General Murong is a righteous and upright person. Mo Jingqi would never give him such an order. Even if Mo Jingqi's people were at Shattered Snow Pass, it wouldn't be easy to move troops without permission. "
Feng Zhiyao nodded, "That's true."
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and said to Ye Li, "How about we rest for a day in Yonglin and come out the day after tomorrow?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "You can decide. Big brother should also be waiting for us in Yonglin." Looking at the city that was already in sight, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the blink of an eye, five or six years had already passed. Six years ago, she was still doing her best to protect this small city. But now, this place already seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Sure enough, Xu Qingchen was waiting for them in Yonglin.
When everyone arrived at the small city of Yonglin, Young Master Qingchen was sitting leisurely in the best teahouse in Yonglin City, drinking tea. Seeing them come in, Xu Qingchen smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I've already booked an inn. How about we rest for a day in Yonglin before coming out?" Ye Li smiled and said, "Big brother is very thoughtful. Xiuyao and I also have the same plan." Everyone took a seat. Xu Qingchen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems that everyone didn't have enough fun on the way?"
Hearing this, Feng Zhiyao was immediately filled with resentment and complained, "Isn't that so? Young Master Qingchen, you don't know. We've been walking and waiting all this time. In the end, we've already passed the Cloud Mist River, but those cowards still haven't caught up with us. You made me look forward to it! " These past few years had been too peaceful. In the northwest, there were even people fighting to suppress bandits. So much so that there weren't even any bandits in the northwest now. Really … his hands were itching. "Mo Jingqi is really boring. If he gives the order to kill us, he'll definitely kill us. If he gave an order, how would those generals dare to disobey? I also want to experience the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of soldiers. Look at now, the people below are cutting corners … If Mo Jingqi knew that we left Shattered Snow Pass without losing a single soldier, I wonder if he would die of anger?! "
Xu Qingchen shook his head and said with a smile, "Feng San, you're thinking too much. Mo Jingqi can't possibly make an announcement. Once it's announced to the world, it's tantamount to officially declaring war on the Mohist army. I'm afraid that before he can kill us, the Mohist army will march to Feihong Pass. If they can really kill the Prince with all they have, then it's fine. But if the Prince comes to the northwest … "The anger of Prince Ding and the nearly one million Mohist army wasn't something that just anyone could bear. After listening to Xu Qingchen's analysis, Feng San could only express regret for Mo Jingqi's cowardice.
"Reporting to Prince, downstairs, an envoy from Da Chu State requests an audience." An imperial bodyguard came up to report.
"An envoy from Da Chu State?" Feng Zhiyao was somewhat astonished. He looked at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li and asked, "In this kind of situation, an envoy from Da Chu State can still request an audience with the Prince?" Xu Qingchen smiled indifferently and said, "Feng San, why don't you guess who the envoy from Da Chu State is?" Feng Zhiyao looked at him and said, "Could it be that Young Master Qingchen has already met him?" Xu Qingchen shook his head and said, "I haven't, but I can make a few guesses. Nanzhao has sent a letter of credence to invite the rulers and dignitaries of various countries to attend Princess Anxi's wedding. Da Chu State can't send an envoy that's too low in rank, but … with Mo Jingqi's personality, he won't come in person. "Mo Jingqi was someone who valued his status the most and was also very vigilant about his own safety. Mo Jingqi hadn't even been a hundred li away from the capital, much less come to Nanzhao, which was thousands of li away. Usually, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would stay within the heavily guarded palace and would never take half a step out of the palace.
"Mo Jingqi already knew that Prince Li has some connections with Nanjiang. This time, he won't let Prince Li get ahead of him. In the entire capital, Mo Jingqi can only trust the Liu family. "Xu Qingchen smiled faintly, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile. When Mo Jingqi suddenly decided to make an example of the Xu family, the Liu family must have instigated it. Mo Xiuyao frowned and said, "Liu Chunfeng?" Feng Zhiyao blinked and asked, "Who is Liu Chunfeng?" Zhuo Jing laughed softly and said, "Young Master Feng, Liu Chunfeng is Prime Minister Liu, Noble Consort Liu's father." It was no wonder that Feng Zhiyao didn't know. Although Noble Consort Liu was about the same age as Mo Xiuyao and the others, Liu Chunfeng himself was only two years younger than Duke of Hua. In Feng Zhiyao's memory, he was Prime Minister Liu by the time he noticed this person. Naturally, he didn't remember his name.
