Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said calmly, "The Emperor Of Xiling's City is not suitable to be the capital." The Emperor Of Xiling's City was grand and majestic, but it was too far away from the Central Plains. Any ruler with ambitions to conquer the Central Plains would not choose this place as their capital. After all, the heroes who grew up with the culture of the Central Plains wanted to unite the Central Plains and not dominate the Western Regions. Back then, the founding ancestor of Xiling had chosen this place mostly because the Chu at the time was too powerful.
Bai Yuncheng was not a mediocre person. He understood what Mo Xiuyao said after thinking about it for a while. His heart couldn't help but tremble as he looked at Mo Xiuyao with even more respect. There were many people who were secretly debating whether Mo Xiuyao's sudden attack on Xiling was coincidental or premeditated. But looking at the white-robed, white-haired young ruler in front of him, Bai Yuncheng suddenly believed that Mo Xiuyao had premeditated this. Thinking of this, Bai Yuncheng's eyes shone brighter and his determination became more resolute.
"The Prince is ambitious and I admire you. The Bai Family is willing to serve you faithfully. I hope the Prince will not abandon us, "Bai Yuncheng said respectfully.
Mo Xiuyao looked up and calmly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Bai Yuncheng seemed to feel a strange pressure coming from all directions. If he hadn't been careful, he would have knelt down on the spot. Even when facing Zhennan Wang, he didn't feel this kind of pressure that seemed to have materialized. Bai Yuncheng maintained a respectful appearance, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. After a long time, Mo Xiuyao said indifferently, "Patriarch Bai, you don't have to be so courteous. This King will return to Glass City soon. In the future, I will need Patriarch Bai's help in many matters here."
Bai Yuncheng was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "Many thanks, Your Highness. The Bai family will not dare to disappoint Your Highness."
Mo Xiuyao nodded and was about to say something when Zhuo Jing came in and reported, "Prince, the master of the Sun Family wishes to see you."
Hearing this, Bai Yuncheng's heart sank. Originally, the Bai Family and the Sun Family did not have much to do with each other. One was in politics and the other was in business. There was no deep hatred between the two families. But when Jhennam Of Gojoseon was in power, although the Sun Family was not loyal to the royal family, they did not like Jhennam Of Gojoseon. Jhennam Of Gojoseon had plundered a lot of gold and silver from the Sun Family many times through the hands of the Bai Family. By the time the Bai Family understood that Jhennam Of Gojoseon wanted to sow discord between the two families, the hatred had already been formed. In the past few years, the Sun Family and the Bai Family had been fighting openly and secretly. Jhennam Of Gojoseon did not help either side and allowed them to fight. When one side was weaker, he would even lend a helping hand. As a result, the hatred between the two families became deeper and deeper. Now, no one was in the mood to resolve it.
Bai Yuncheng had just joined the Prince Ding Mansion. Naturally, he did not want the Sun Family to be more powerful than him. Unfortunately, he could not make the decision now. Mo Xiuyao would not refuse to see the Sun Family even if it was because of the top quality warm jade.
As expected, after hearing Zhuo Jing's words, Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."
Not long after, the head of the Sun family had already strode in. Unlike Bai Yuncheng, who was over 50 years old, the master of the Sun Family was completely different from the master of the Bai Family. More importantly, she was a woman. The master of the Sun Family was not yet 30 years old. Her appearance was not very outstanding, but she was still dignified. There was a valiant and neat aura between her eyebrows that ordinary women did not have. At first glance, one could tell that she was a woman of character. No wonder she dared to make things difficult for Princess Lingyun. She was the wife of the previous master of the Sun Family. The previous master of the Sun Family had been ill since he was young. After Madam Sun married into the Sun Family, she took care of most of the Sun Family's affairs. Three years ago, the master of the Sun Family died of illness. Madam Sun, who only had one daughter, used her identity as a woman to suppress the side branches who coveted the Sun Family's wealth. She became the master of the Sun Family as a widow and waited for her only daughter to grow up and find a son-in-law to inherit the Sun Family's bloodline. Although Xi Ling's restrictions on women were not as strict as the Da Chu State, Madam Sun was able to stand firm as a widow in this imperial city surrounded by strong enemies. Her methods and knowledge were ordinary.
"I am Sun Yushi Hui Niang. Greetings to Prince Ding." Madam Sun was not like ordinary women who called themselves servants or concubines. Instead, she called herself "I am" like a man. Her bearing was free and easy, natural and unrestrained. It made people have a good impression at first sight.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "I have long heard that the master of the Sun Family is a woman who is not inferior to men. Today, I see that you live up to your reputation. Madam Sun, please sit. "
Madam Sun smiled and thanked him. She did not mind sitting down on a rock not far from Mo Xiuyao's side. Mo Xiuyao turned his head and said to Lin Han behind him, "Go and see if Wang Fei is free. Didn't she say that she wanted to see Madam Sun the day before yesterday?" Madam Sun quickly said, "I don't dare. I should go and pay my respects to Wang Fei."
Mo Xiuyao waved his hand faintly and said, "Li Li does not care about this." Moreover, the courier station was not as big as the original I's residence. The temporary residence in the inner courtyard, whether it was Ye Li or Mo Xiuyao, was not willing for outsiders to set foot in.
Lin Han accepted the order and left. Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "Master Bai and Madam Sun must be old acquaintances?"
With his insight, even if he did not know beforehand, it was impossible for him not to see that these two families did not get along. But neither Madam Sun nor Bai Yuncheng dared to show it in front of him. Both of them were superiors and naturally understood Prince Ding's thoughts. As superiors, it was impossible for them to use a large amount of time to reconcile the conflicts of their subordinates. It was also impossible for them to give up on one family just because they did not get along. As long as it did not interfere with the matters of the Prince Ding Mansion, Prince Ding had no intention of interfering in the conflict between the two families. But they could not let the conflict between the two families annoy Prince Ding.
Madam Sun smiled faintly and said, "Prince Ding is right. The Sun and Bai families have lived in the imperial city for a long time and are naturally old acquaintances. To be able to see Master Bai here today, this one is not honored. "
Bai Yuncheng pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Madam Sun is too humble. Madam Sun has been busy. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still as elegant as ever." A cold light flashed through Madam Sun's eyes, but she said with a smile, "Master Bai is too kind." As a widow, even Madam Sun had to be careful. What she hated the most was others talking about her appearance. First, as a widow, she could not dress up too beautifully. Second, if someone thought too deeply about her appearance, they would think that she was not a woman.
"Wang Fei has come."
Hearing the voice of the guard at the door, Mo Xiuyao immediately put down Bai and Sun who had been talking and went to greet her. Bai Yuncheng and Madam Sun looked over curiously. They wanted to see what this Princess Ding, who was famous in the world and had caused Prince Ding to be so affectionate, really looked like. Ye Li was only wearing a light blue robe with dark embroidery today, her hair loosely tied up in a bun. A tasseled hairpin was inserted at an angle. As she moved, the jade bead hanging by her cheek swayed slightly, making her appear even more fragile. When they walked closer, they saw that her face was slightly pale, and there seemed to be a shadow between her brows. It seemed that Prince Ding was not lying when he said that Wang Fei was not feeling well. However, the famous Princess Ding was not known for her beauty, but for her talent and martial arts. The two of them had not seen her when she entered the city that day, so they did not dare to believe it. How could the Princess Ding, who was said to be skilled in battle, be such a delicate young woman?
