In the main hall of the Ye manor, Mo Jingli sat and drank tea with a gloomy expression. Only his tightly clenched hands showed the anxiety and anger in his heart. After thinking about it all night, he still couldn't relax. He originally wanted to come to the Ye manor to see if he could get the most important thing from Ye Yue and then find a way to send her out of the city. But he didn't think that he would still be one step too late and let Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li beat him to it. No matter how powerful Mo Jingli was in Jiangnan, in Li City, he could only tolerate Mo Xiuyao's family. It was just like the saying, a strong dragon can't beat a local snake. In the land of the Northwest, no matter how powerful one was, even a tiger had to lie down and a dragon had to coil up.
Glancing at the black-clothed guards standing respectfully at the door, Mo Jingli's expression darkened. He finally suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
"Why has Prince Li come to the Ye manor so early in the morning?" Mo Xiuyao's voice carried a lazy smile from the door. The corners of Mo Jingli's eyes twitched. He raised his head and saw a pair of shadows walk in hand in hand. His gaze fell on the two holding hands. Mo Jingli's expression became even uglier. He looked at Mo Xiuyao with a fake smile and said, "Didn't Prince Ding and Princess Ding arrive earlier than I?"
Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li to the main seat and sat down. He smiled and said, "This … yesterday, someone came to report that the Ye manor found a fugitive that the Prince Ding Mansion has been chasing for many years. I and Princess Li were worried about the safety of the Ye family so we came early in the morning to take a look. Could it be that Prince Li also received the news? "Mo Jingli said indifferently," Prince Ding is joking. I haven't heard of it. "Mo Jingli laughed coldly in his heart. How could he not understand Mo Xiuyao? Even if the Ye family died in front of him, he might not even bat an eyelid. Coming up with such a lie was clearly just to brush him off.
"King Li hasn't told I yet. Why is King Li here so early?" Mo Xiuyao asked in a good mood.
Mo Jingli said coldly, "Can't I come to the Ye Residence?"
Mo Xiuyao shrugged, "Prince Li is also the son-in-law of the Ye family, so of course he can come. Whatever, Prince Li is a guest. I don't want others to think that my Prince Ding Mansion does not treat guests well. Then Prince Li, please take a seat. I just obtained something interesting in the residence and was planning to go back and study it. " A strange light flashed across Mo Jingli's eyes. He didn't expect Ye Yue to be able to withstand Mo Xiuyao's attacks. But when he heard Mo Xiuyao say this, he couldn't help but feel resentful. If he had known this would happen, he would have taken Ye Yue back to the posthouse even if Mo Xiuyao found out. The women of the Ye family, other than Ye Li, were all incompetent!
After saying this, Mo Xiuyao was no longer in a hurry. He leaned against the chair and played with Ye Li's hair while waiting for Mo Jingli's reaction. In any case, the bargaining chip was in his hands, so he had the final say in the price. From the looks of it, Ye Yue had really given him a big gift.
After a long time, Mo Jingli stared at Mo Xiuyao and said in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows in confusion, as if he didn't understand Mo Jingli's meaning. "What does Prince Li mean? I don't understand." Mo Jingli's eyes were filled with anger. He stared fiercely at Mo Xiuyao and said, "What will it take for you to give me the thing you took from Ye Yue!" Yesterday, he had only taken a small portion of it from Ye Yue. After a doctor's examination, it was confirmed that it was the only true antidote that Mo Jingqi had given him. But the amount was so small that it could be ignored.
"This …" Mo Xiuyao looked at Mo Jingli with interest. He was like a cat that had been set on fire, so he was in a good mood. He happily rubbed Ye Li's hair and asked softly, "Li, if there's anything you want, quickly ask Prince Li. Prince Li occupies Jiangnan and is not as barren as the Northwest. It's rare that Prince Li is so generous. "
Ye Li looked at Mo Jingli's angry expression with amusement. She couldn't blame Mo Jingli for being so angry. Any man would be furious if they were caught in such a situation. Of course, Ye Li didn't know that the reason Mo Jingli was so angry was because Ye Li was sitting right in front of them and listening to their conversation. Even though he had been drugged by Mo Jingqi, but no matter what, a man with this kind of problem would always make him feel awkward and unable to raise his head. Especially in front of a woman that he had always wanted.
Mo Jingli sat in the chair and panted heavily. His eyes were red as he stared at Mo Xiuyao. If it weren't for the fact that the difference in strength was too great, Ye Li believed that Mo Jingli would definitely pounce on Mo Xiuyao without hesitation.
After thinking seriously, Ye Li shook her head slightly and said, "I don't think there's anything I want." For a moment, Ye Li really couldn't think of anything valuable to ask Mo Jingli that Mo Jingli was willing to give. Mo Xiuyao smiled gently and said, "Since Li can't think of anything, then let I think." Ye Li looked at him without commenting. Wasn't he the one who wanted to extort Mo Jingli?
Mo Xiuyao rubbed his chin and thought seriously for a moment before saying, "Since Prince Li is so generous, I won't be polite. Thousand Threads Snow Robe, White Jade Phoenix Zither, Nine Dragons Nation Guarding Seal, and Titan Emperor Incineration Sword. In addition, your nieces and nephews just turned a month old. Prince Li hasn't had time to send gifts. I remember that there's a shop called Agarwood Square. The children there are pretty good. It should be fine, right? Also … "
"Mo Xiuyao!" Mo Jingli's eyes were almost bloodshot. His eyes staring at Mo Xiuyao could no longer be described with hatred. It wasn't that Mo Jingli was too stingy, but that Mo Xiuyao was too greedy. That so-called little Agarwood Square was the most profitable of all of Mo Jingli's private properties. For example, the four items he wanted, although they were only four items, the value of these four items was something that even if the entire treasury of the Chu Imperial Palace was sold, it might not be able to match.
The Thousand Threads Snow Robe was made from the silk of snow silkworms that grew at the peak of the snowy lands. It was said that the number of snow silkworms was extremely small. Only a few of them died in a year. It would take more than a hundred years to gather enough silk to weave a single piece of clothing. The Snow Robe was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was impervious to fire and water. It could be said to be the world's best defensive treasure. Most importantly, the art of weaving silk had long been lost in the world. The one in Da Chu State's Imperial Palace was the only Thousand Threads Snow Robe in the world. If it hadn't been kept in the Da Chu State's Imperial Palace, it would have caused a bloodbath in the world. The value of the other three items was also not below the Snow Robe. Among them, the Incineration Sword was said to be the first recorded sword of the Titan Emperor. Not to mention how the sword was still sharp after thousands of years, the sword itself was the symbol of the Imperial Palace's orthodox lineage.
Mo Xiuyao immediately asked for these four items. It could be said that he had dug up more than half of the Da Chu State's Imperial Palace's treasury. This made Mo Jingli's heart ache. His heart was about to break. Moreover, he dared to ask for more!
Seeing Mo Jingli bristle with anger, Mo Xiuyao seemed to be even happier. He calmly continued, "Also, King Li left behind some things in the north that he didn't dare to leave behind. King Li, do you want to take them back yourself or give them to I? "Mo Jingli's pupils shrank. Of course, he understood what Mo Xiuyao was talking about. Although the Da Chu State's Imperial Court had already moved south, whether it was the Chu capital or the northwest, Mo Jingli still had many spies. And Mo Xiuyao wanted him to remove all of them?!
