Less than two days after Ren Qining arrived at Glass City, Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting also arrived. Moreover, the two parties arrived at about the same time. Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li were welcoming Lei Zhenting at the entrance when someone came to report that Da Chu State's Prince Li, Mo Jingli, had arrived. Although Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli didn't have any conflicts, they were separated by a river. Lei Zhenting's people also occupied a small corner of Jiangbei. As the saying goes, how can one allow others to sleep beside one's bed? Naturally, the atmosphere wasn't good when the two met.
However, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao didn't mind. Because the atmosphere wasn't good when Mo Xiuyao and Lei Zhenting met. Previously, Mo Xiuyao ruthlessly schemed against Lei Zhenting. He even took advantage of Lei Zhenting's army to take over the Emperor Of Xiling's city. He also killed a few of Lei Zhenting's trusted aides. It would be strange if Lei Zhenting wasn't angry at Mo Xiuyao. However, even if Lei Zhenting wanted to whip Mo Xiuyao's corpse, he still had to calmly attend Master Qingyun's birthday banquet. Because even if he didn't come, the Emperor Of Xiling would come. Now that Lei Zhenting had lost the advantage of suppressing the Emperor Of Xiling, he naturally couldn't let him mix with the Prince Ding Mansion and scheme against him.
Mo Jingli now had great power in his hands. Compared to a few years ago, his extravagance was even grander. Behind him were guards and eunuchs. The number of people and extravagance wasn't much worse than the emperor of a country. However, the people by his side were still Ye Ying and Princess Xixia. Now that Mo Jingli had control of the Da Chu State, Ye Ying didn't become graceful and elegant. Instead, she became even thinner and more haggard. On the other hand, Princess Xixia, who stood to the right of Mo Jingli, was still as beautiful as ever. Seeing this, Ye Li somewhat understood why the Ye family didn't go to Jiangnan and instead came to the Northwest. Ye Ying's life in Jiangnan probably wasn't going well.
Mo Jingli's expression was as cold and arrogant as ever, his eyes untainted. However, when he saw Mo standing next to Ye, he became even more sinister. Mo Xiuyao clearly wasn't in the mood to greet him. He only raised his eyebrows slightly. Mo Jingli looked at Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao. He then looked at Lei Zhenting, who had obviously just arrived. He snorted softly and said, "So Jhennam Of Gojoseon is already here. Why aren't you going in? Why are you standing at the door?"
Lei Zhenting didn't take his small provocation seriously. He laughed loudly and said, "I was just chatting with Prince Ding and Princess Consort again. I didn't expect Prince Li to be here. Let's go in together. "
"Oh? What are you all talking about? May I have the honor of hearing? "Mo Jingli stared at Lei Zhenting and said lightly.
Lei Zhenting smiled and said, "I was just congratulating Prince Ding for having just taken over Changxing City and having a son. It's a double blessing."
Hearing this, Mo Jingli's expression instantly darkened. Lei Zhenting was talking about Changxing City right now. It was no different from slapping him in the face. Wasn't Chu Jing abandoned by him? Raising his eyes to look at Lei Zhenting, Mo Jingli squeezed out a cold smile. "It's not just your knees. Didn't you just take over the Emperor Of Xiling City last year? Is Jhennam Of Gojoseon Heir and his family well? "Chu Jing had fallen into Mo Xiuyao's hands, but hadn't the Emperor Of Xiling City also fallen into Mo Xiuyao's hands? Not only that, Lei Zhenting's trusted grandson and granddaughter had all been killed by Mo Xiuyao. It was hard to tell who was uglier in comparison.
Hearing this, Lei Zhenting couldn't laugh anymore. Although the Emperor Of Xiling City wasn't lost in his hands, it was because he didn't have time to send reinforcements.
Standing on the steps, Ye Li sighed helplessly in her heart. Choosing this time to treat them was really asking for trouble. Now, all the surrounding countries didn't seem to be friends with the Prince Ding Mansion, especially these two in front of her. Was it really okay to stand at the entrance and discuss the lost city? Or were they hoping that Mo Xiuyao would spit out what he had taken?
Smiling faintly, Ye Li said softly, "Prince Ding Mansion and Prince Ding Mansion have come from afar and must be tired from the journey. Why don't we have a cup of tea before catching up? "
Hearing this, the two looked at each other with disgust. Who wanted to catch up? Besides, they didn't have anything to talk about.
Leading the group into the mansion, Ye Li waited for the servant to serve tea before saying with a smile, "Grandfather is old and has been tired recently. I'm afraid he won't be able to see you two. Please don't blame him."
Both of them knew that Master Qingyun was already eighty years old. Ye Li's reason naturally couldn't be found wrong. Lei Zhenting nodded and said, "We're here to celebrate Master Qingyun's birthday. How can we trouble him? It's better if we wait until the day of the birthday banquet to celebrate Master Qingyun's birthday. "
Ye Li smiled and thanked him. The atmosphere in the hall became a bit strange. The three men present clearly weren't friends with each other. Naturally, they didn't have anything to say. Ye Li also didn't have a good impression of Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli. Thus, she wasn't in the mood to adjust the atmosphere. Tilting her head, she smiled at Mo Xiuyao and said, "I have something to say to Fourth Sister. I'll have to trouble Prince to entertain Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Prince Li."
Mo Xiuyao nodded indifferently. Ye Li then stood up and said to Ye Ying, who was sitting next to Mo Jingli, with a faint smile, "Fourth Sister, let's go out for a walk."
Ye Ying clearly had something to say to Ye Li. She didn't say anything and stood up to follow Ye Li. Once the two left, only Princess Xi Xia was left in the hall. Princess Xi Xia looked at the door and stood up, "I'll also go out for a walk."
Soon, only the three men were left in the large hall. The atmosphere became even more solemn.
After a while, Mo Jingli laughed coldly and said, "Mo Xiuyao, you've got some tricks up your sleeve. Last year, everyone in the world was fooled by you, right?" Lei Zhenting looked at Mo Xiuyao with a gloomy expression. It could be said that in the past year, no one had truly gained an advantage over the other countries. The one who had truly benefited was the white-haired man who was lazily leaning on the chair. The Prince Ding Mansion didn't just gain a large piece of land and two capitals in Xi Ling and Da Chu State. More importantly, this time, the Mohist army had truly and completely gotten rid of the burden and shackles of Da Chu State. Right now, no matter where the Mo Family Army wanted to attack, it was perfectly justifiable, and no one could say anything about it. Therefore, from the beginning, Mo Xiuyao had been waiting, waiting for the Northern Tribes and Xi Ling to attack Da Chu State. Because as a former subject of Da Chu State, even if they had broken off relations with Da Chu State, they definitely couldn't attack Da Chu State first. Now, this restriction had been completely broken.
Although a long time had passed and anyone could understand the mystery, it was too late now. But it was too late to think about it now. Mo Xiuyao had already taken advantage of the one year's time. Even someone as arrogant as Lei Zhenting couldn't help but sigh at Mo Xiuyao's patience and scheming.
Mo Xiuyao looked lazily at Mo Jingli, his lips curling into a mocking smile. "I am magnanimous. I don't mind the loser shouting a few words."
"Mo Xiuyao!" Mo Jingli roared angrily. Facing Mo Xiuyao, he seemed to always be the loser. But Mo Jingli had never had such a strong hope that Mo Xiuyao had never existed in this world. Because of his scheming, he had lost half of Da Chu State, lost Da Chu State's capital, and could only live in a corner. Even in Jiangnan, he held great power and his words were absolute. But every time he heard someone talking about Mo Xiuyao, he seemed to hear the ridicule and dissatisfaction in their hearts. Because the capital he had lost was saved by Prince Ding. And the capital that was saved was no longer Da Chu State's. All of this was because of Mo Xiuyao …
