When Mo Xiuyao heard others praise Ye Li, although he felt a little jealous, he was still happy. Although he only hoped that he was the only one in the world who could see how good Li was, he also hoped that the world would acknowledge Li and not allow anyone to look down on her. Moreover, the current Mo Xiuyao was no longer the Prince Ding from many years ago who was seriously injured and disfigured. He had been married to Ye Li for ten years, so there was no need to doubt the feelings between the two. He was even more confident that there was no one in the world who was more worthy of Li than him. His jealousy was just a kind of pleasure.
"I's Li Li is naturally the smartest woman in the world. Why do I need you to say that?" Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said.
Ye Li glanced at him helplessly and remained silent. She was also very self-aware. In terms of intelligence, she could not be considered the smartest one. What she relied on was that she had an extra lifetime of experience that was completely different from the people in this world.
Seeing the faint threat in Mo Xiuyao's eyes, Tan Jizhi could not help but smile bitterly. Even if he had the guts as big as the sky, he would not covet Princess Ding, okay? If it was in the past, he might have some thoughts. However, after being tormented by Mo Xiuyao for two years, he did not have any thoughts at all. Who in the world did not know that Prince Ding valued his princess more than his own life? Who would dare to provoke the Emperor Of Xiling? The vengeful spirits and Ren Qining in Xiling City were examples of what had happened. Moreover, Princess Ding herself was not easy to deal with. Those who did not have any ability to provoke her would only be asking for humiliation.
Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li temporarily stayed in Changqing City, but they were not in a hurry to deal with Ren Qining. Instead, they left these matters to Tan Jizhi to deal with. The two of them were idle and would walk around Changqing City from time to time. They were also very carefree.
On this day, when the two of them were having their meal, the shopkeeper came to report that the vanguard of the northern army had already set off for the Purple Thorns Pass. Ren Qining would also set off for the expedition in a few days. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "He's not worried at all. He's not afraid of a fire in his own backyard." Ye Li smiled and said, "It seems that even though the people of the Northern Territory are staunch and unyielding, they are not incapable of acting. I'm afraid that Ren Qining only thinks that the people of the Northern Territory don't get along with the old ministers of the previous dynasty. He never thought that they would rebel against him. " Mo Xiuyao said, "In Ren Qining's view, the northern tribes have long been like a group of dragons without a leader. Naturally, he didn't expect Queen Helan to have such ability. Speaking of which, the people of the Northern Region have long been accustomed to each tribe's own governance. I'm afraid that even without Queen Helan's secret coordination, sooner or later, they will rebel. "
"Go. Send the news to General Lenghuai at Redbud Pass," Mo Xiuyao instructed.
Just as the shopkeeper was about to leave, a burst of noise came from downstairs. Seeing the two of them frowning, the shopkeeper hurriedly excused himself and went to check. Mo Xiuyao suddenly smiled and said to Ye Li, "Li, let's go take a look too." The two of them went out of the wing room and looked down from the second floor. In the lobby downstairs, several men from the Central Plains in luxurious clothes were confronting several men who were obviously from the Northern Territory. Those people from the Northern Territory were all strong and sturdy. With a scowl, one could tell that they were not ordinary people who could be provoked. However, although those people from the Central Plains looked like weak and fair scholars, their momentum was not inferior in the slightest, and their words were as sharp as knives when they confronted each other.
The people of the Northern Territory were not good at arguing, so naturally, they were so angry that their faces turned red and their hair stood up. In a moment of anger, they were about to start a fight. Although those people from the Central Plains were weak, they were accompanied by many bodyguards who were highly skilled in martial arts. Even if they wanted to fight, they were not afraid.
As expected, the two sides started to fight as soon as they disagreed. The shopkeeper seemed to be used to this situation and hurriedly went up to persuade them with an anxious face. After he was pushed away, he hid behind the counter and stopped talking. In less than half a cup of tea's time, the lobby of the inn was in tatters and the floor was a mess.
These people were so engrossed in the fight that no one even noticed Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao coming down from upstairs. At the counter, the shopkeeper saw the two of them coming down and hurriedly went up to invite them to a more remote corner where they could not fight. Mo Xiuyao looked curiously at the center of the lobby where the fight was still ongoing. He asked with a smile, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"
The shopkeeper touched his forehead and said with a wry smile, "In Changqing City, there's not a day when there's not a fight. This is already the third time this month that this humble store of mine has been here. If it's a brothel, there's no need to talk about it … As long as the two sides meet, there's no way there won't be a fight. " Speaking of which, this inn was a hidden post set up by the Prince Ding Mansion. It would be good if it could make money, but it didn't matter if it lost money. If it was really an inn run by ordinary people, they would have packed up and left long ago. Nowadays, the so-called Northern Region King's City was very desolate. Other than those old officials of the previous dynasty and the nobles of the tribes in the Northern Region, the ordinary people were very poor. There were not many shops in the entire Changqing City, so the shopkeeper's inn, which was not very luxurious, was often in trouble.
Ye Li frowned and said, "Is there no one to take care of it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, "Who can take care of it? Those who dare to fight in the city are the nobles in the court. The leader of the Northern Region people is the youngest son of the leader of the former second largest tribe in the Northern Region. He can be considered Queen Helan's cousin. Those people from the Central Plains are the illegitimate sons of the Prime Minister conferred by the Northern Region King and the younger brother of Imperial Concubine Yun. "
Mo Xiuyao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "They are really extraordinary people."
As he said this, the people who were fighting gradually moved over. One of the men from the Central Plains was punched by a man from the Northern Region, and he just happened to be smashed in front of Ye Li. Mo Xiuyao snorted softly and waved his sleeve. The man's body stopped and fell to the side. However, after the man got up, he didn't rush to settle the score with the man who beat him up. Instead, his gaze fell on Ye Li's body. However, he was stunned for a moment. His eyes, which were clouded by alcohol, revealed a hint of lust.
Although Ye Li had changed her appearance, she was still graceful and elegant. Although the young man was the son of a high-ranking official under Ren Qining, he had only seen tall and beautiful women in the Northern Region for many years. After returning to Da Chu State, Changqing City was poor, but he had never seen a woman with such an outstanding temperament like Ye Li. Even Imperial Concubine Yun, who was the most favored in the palace, could not compare. At that moment, he did not care that he was still fighting with the man from the Northern Region. He looked at Ye Li's beautiful face with a lustful expression and said with a smile, "How should I address you, miss?"
Ye Li was slightly stunned and could not help but find it funny. She had encountered many things over the years. However, it was the first time that she had been molested in public like this. She could not help but smile and said, "How should I address you, sir?" Seeing that Ye Li wasn't the slightest bit shy like other girls, the man couldn't help but be overjoyed. "This Young Master is the son of the current Prime Minister. Miss, why don't you follow this Young Master to the Prime Minister's residence for a short period of time? It's better than wronging you in this shabby inn." The man glanced at Mo Xiuyao who was standing beside Ye Li and revealed a contemptuous smile.
The innkeeper at the side shrank back without a trace. The son of the Prime Minister had been domineering in Changqing City for more than a year. This time, he ran into the Prince and was really looking for death.
