After speaking, her gaze calmly swept across Mo Jingli's face. As expected, she saw Mo Jingli's expression change slightly. Mo Jingli showed a rare smile on his cold face, which made people feel uncomfortable. "So Noble Concubine Liu thinks that my brother doesn't deserve to be the emperor? I didn't know until now that you are such a noble concubine. It's really an eye-opener. "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Noble Concubine Liu glared at Mo Jingli. Mo Jingli even respected Mo Jingqi because of his mood these years. How could he be afraid of Noble Concubine Liu? She sneered, "Wasn't it Noble Concubine Liu who said that?"
"Your Highness!" Prime Minister Liu looked at his daughter with displeasure. Although he could keep some thoughts to himself, what Noble Concubine Liu said was too much. It was not the time for them to offend Prince Ding. Obviously, the bottom line of not offending Prince Ding was Princess Ding. Offending Princess Ding was more important than offending Prince Ding. However, his daughter couldn't see the situation clearly. She talked nonsense and challenged Princess Ding's bottom line. "Your Highness just made a slip of the tongue. Prince Li, please be careful."
Mo Jingli snorted disdainfully. A slip of the tongue? It was not the first time for him to know Noble Concubine Liu. She was always arrogant, as if everyone in the world only deserved to be the dust under her feet. Mo Jingli didn't doubt that she looked down on her brother and thought that he didn't deserve to be the emperor.
While Mo Jingli and Noble Concubine Liu were quarreling, Mo Xiuyao was pouring tea for Ye Li attentively and saying sweet words to Ye Li without any scruples. It almost blinded the eyes of all the unloved people on the scene.
Lei Tengfeng looked at the two of them thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Prince Ding and Princess Ding's relationship is really good. It really makes me envious." Even if they had a good relationship, there was no need to show it in public, right?
Mo Xiuyao nodded in agreement, "As the saying goes, one should marry a virtuous wife. As a man, having a good wife is of utmost importance. For those who were lucky, for example, I married Mr. Li. Those who are unlucky … "
Mo Xiuyao didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant. However, they all had their own choices for the unlucky person. Everyone looked at Ye Li at the same time. They couldn't help but admit that Mo Xiuyao was indeed lucky.
Princess Ding. Princess Ding was not only beautiful and had a natural temperament, but she was also good at governing the country. Nowadays, the most feared Qi Lin in the northwest was trained by Princess Ding. The fourth and fifth sons of the Xu family led the people in the north to cultivate wastelands and plant farmland. It was said that it was Princess Ding's idea to bring the originally barren north to a peaceful and happy life. Even without these, just the fact that Ding Wang Fei had Xu Hongyu and Xu Hongyan's two uncles, as well as that Fifth Brother's cousin, if people knew that the Xu Family valued Ye Li this much, it was likely that all the men in the world would fight to marry this beauty.
Ever since Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li got married, Mo Xiuyao, who was originally living in seclusion in the Prince Ding Mansion with a crippled leg and a disfigured face, had managed to rule the northwest in just a few years. He was healthy and even had a son. What kind of luck was this? In this process, Mo Xiuyao had only paid the price of a head of white hair. More importantly, ever since his hair turned white, Mo Xiuyao seemed to have become even more dazzling!
Even Ye Li blushed at Mo Xiuyao's shameless words. Her face was as calm as water, but she secretly pinched his waist mercilessly. Mo Xiuyao's face immediately fell. "Wife …"
Seeing that the two were getting more and more out of hand, Xu Qingchen coughed lightly to remind them that there were still outsiders around.
Ye Li was too lazy to pay attention to Mo Xiuyao's antics. She looked at the place where the fighting was still going on and asked, "Shu Manlin has mobilized the Nanzhao city guards?" Xu Qingchen nodded slightly and smiled. "Li 'er, don't worry. Princess Anxi is not a weak woman who can be bullied. The tribes that came to the wedding this time, including the Pu' a family and Princess Anxi's grandfather's family, all brought many people."
Sitting by the window, Mo Jingli stared at a certain place for a long time. Suddenly, he turned around and shouted at Mo Xiuyao, "There … Mo Xiuyao, you didn't keep your word!" Mo Xiuyao lazily leaned his head on Ye Li's shoulder and glanced at Mo Jingli with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?"
Mo Jingli sneered. "You dare say that those people are not from the Northwest? Not Qi Lin? "Hearing his words, the others immediately stood up and walked to the window to take a closer look. Sure enough, they saw a group of people cutting through the chaos like a hot knife through butter. Wherever they went, they were invincible. Even in the dark, they could clearly see the astonishing speed at which they were advancing. Even if the enemy was several times stronger than them, they could not stop them at all. Everyone looked at Mo Xiuyao. Apart from the Northwest and Qi Lin, no one else had that kind of fighting power.
"Oh, we've been discovered. Li, what should we do? "Mo Xiuyao did not shirk away. He blinked innocently and looked at Ye Li.
Ye Li could not help but smile. It was now dark. Even if Shu Manlin had thousands of people in her hands. If Qi Lin did not want to be discovered, he would not have revealed himself. This was clearly Mo Xiuyao's intention. Was he … supporting Princess Anxi?
Mo Jingli said angrily, "Mo Xiuyao, we agreed that no one could interfere in Nanjiang's affairs. You're clearly breaking the agreement!"
Mo Xiuyao scornfully curled his lips. I did break the agreement. What do you want? Bite me? Clearly reading the meaning of Mo Xiuyao's expression, Mo Jingli's facial muscles could not help but twitch. Lei Tengfeng still had some sense. He did not intend to interfere in Nanjiang's affairs. Nanzhao and Xiling shared a large area of land. For many years, there had been friction and they could not be friends. Jhennam Of Gojoseon already had some plans. If he could not break into the Da Chu State in the short term, then he would start with Nanzhao. Therefore, it did not matter to him who had Nanzhao in their hands.
"Prince Ding, since we have an agreement, you should give us a reasonable explanation for acting rashly?" Lei Tengfeng said politely.
Mo Xiuyao smiled. "Explanation? It's nothing. Of course, it's because I promised you before I promised Princess Anxi. Moreover, I did not intend to interfere in Nanjiang's affairs. It's just that Princess Anxi suspected that someone would take advantage of the wedding to cause trouble. She asked I for a few guards to protect the newlyweds and the wedding guests. Princess Anxi and Young Master Qingchen are best friends. She is also quite close to I's beloved concubine. How can I not agree to such a small matter? Also, I did not give it to you for free. Princess Anxi asked I to lend each guard 5,000 taels of silver. If they were injured or killed in battle, they would have to pay another 500 taels of silver for medical expenses or 10,000 taels of silver as compensation. This is a fair and cost-effective deal. I can do it even if we are not friends. "
Hearing this, everyone silently vomited blood in their hearts.
Ye Li was thoughtful. She did not expect Mo Xiuyao to have understood the essence of mercenary army. Speaking of which, if Qi Lin became a mercenary army … Not only could they make a lot of money, but more importantly, they could have a lot of opportunities for actual combat. After all, the northwest had been too peaceful in recent years. No amount of training could compare to the effect of actual combat. Of course, this was just Ye Li's imagination. She could not turn the well-trained Qi Lin into a mercenary army.
"What is Li thinking?" Mo Xiuyao asked in a low voice when he saw Ye Li lowering her head and thinking. He knew that she must have some plans in mind. Ye Li shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Mo Xiuyao also knew that this was not the place to talk. He glanced at the people who were intentionally or unintentionally glancing in their direction. He stood up openly and hugged Ye Li to stand by the window to watch the battle. Ye Li had undergone special training and Mo Xiuyao had profound skills. The two of them naturally had better night vision than the people present. Looking at the performance of the Qi Lin in the distance, Ye Li nodded with satisfaction. The five years of training were not in vain. The Qi Lin members were basically mature and experienced. They could completely carry out different kinds of missions on their own.
Mo Xiuyao pointed in the distance and said, "Shu Manlin's people have begun to attack the princess residence."
Ye Li frowned and said, "At this time, Princess Anxi should not be in the princess residence, right?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Of course not. Is she waiting to die in the princess residence at this time? " Princess Anxi probably did not expect that her father would give the token to Shu Manlin to mobilize the guards in the city. Facing seven to eight thousand soldiers and hundreds of masters, even with Mo Xiuyao's support, Qi Lin could only avoid the attack. It was impossible for them to fight head-on. After all, Mo Xiuyao did not bring many people to Nanjiang. It was impossible for him to mobilize all the forces of the Prince Ding Mansion in Nanjiang for Princess Anxi.
"Li, do you want to guess where Princess Anxi is now?" Mo Xiuyao asked cheerfully.
Everyone, except Xu Qingchen, pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation. Ye Li frowned and stared at the scene outside for a long time before slowly saying, "To catch the bandits, first catch the leader." Princess Anxi was not in the princess residence at this time. Naturally, she could not fight in the city. Then they could only go find Shu Manlin. Only by getting the token in Shu Manlin's hand could they stop the killing in the city. The guards in Nanzhao city only listened to the chief and did not recognize the person. Without the token, even the King of Nanzhao might not be able to do anything.
"Where is Shu Manlin?"
Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li with a smile and said, "Of course she is in the Nanzhao palace. That woman wants to be the King of Nanzhao so badly. If she is not in the palace, where else can she be?"
Ye Li frowned slightly. The King of Nanzhao was still in the palace. Although there were people left behind to deal with the aftermath, if they were not careful, they might not be able to find the King of Nanzhao so quickly. However, if Shu Manlin found the King of Nanzhao first, it would not be good for Princess Anxi.
Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "Li, don't worry. It would be good if the King of Nanzhao knows his place. If he still wants to rely on Shu Manlin, I'm afraid … he will be in big trouble. Don't forget to stay by Shu Manlin's side … "
Ye Li understood. Shu Manlin still had Tan Jizhi by her side. He was not someone easy to deal with. If Shu Manlin won, Tan Jizhi would never let the King of Nanzhao live. If the King of Nanzhao died, Shu Manlin's position would be unstable.
