"Princess Wanyu is in shock? How could this be? His Majesty asked me to receive all of you, but I have failed in my duty. Mr. Goode, please allow me to visit Princess Wanyu and express my apologies. Moreover, I, Daewon, have many calming treasures. If Princess Wanyu needs them, I will get them immediately! "Mo Yike immediately said.
Mo Yike wanted to confirm whether Princess Wanyu was there.
Gu Hai looked at Mo Yike, but his heart sank slightly. Indeed, this Mo Yike was too shrewd. He had already guessed what was going on just now.
"Alright!" Gu Hai smiled slightly.
Mo Yike also stared at Gu Hai, trying to find clues from Gu Hai's expression. In his heart, Mo Yike was also very anxious.
Previously, when he met His Majesty, he understood the general situation and instantly understood the importance of Long Wanyu.
Mo Yike had rushed here before anyone realized anything was wrong. He wanted to confirm whether Long Wanyu was in the capital city.
If she was not, he had to get her back immediately! Even if he had to use force, he had to get her back.
One had to know that Ram Saint had disappeared and been captured by the Da Qian people. The capital city was in ruins. Ram Saint would definitely guess something. The Da Qian people would definitely take action. This was the foundation of the Lu Tian Dynasty.
The most effective way to stop the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty's actions was to seize their lifeline, which was Long Wanyu.
Mo Yike rushed over hurriedly. His previous courtesy was just to see Long Wanyu.
He stared at Gu Hai, wanting to see Gu Hai reject him, but Gu Hai just smiled and nodded.
Mo Yike frowned slightly, but he did not say anything. After all, it would be best if Long Wanyu was in the capital city.
"Mr. Mo, why don't you wait for a while? I will go and ask the princess. How about that?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Alright!" Mo Yike nodded.
Gu Hai did not invite Mo Yike into the manor. The manor had a large array set up by Gu Hai, and fog rose from all directions.
Gu Hai entered the fog.
Once he entered the fog, Gu Hai's face sank. "Quick, inform Li Shenji to come back! There's a change in the situation! "
"Yes!" Ju Lu answered and quickly disappeared into the ground.
Gu Hai looked at the outside world through the fog, and his face was gloomy.
If it were someone else, Gu Hai would think of a way to lure them away. But this was Mo Yike, and he was not a simple character. He would not give up until he saw Long Wanyu.
Could he only fall out with him? However, Long Wanyu had just left the city and had not gone far. Even with Ye Shenzhen's protection, if Xiyu The Great went after her personally, it was inevitable that something would happen. Moreover, Gu Hai was not sure of Ye Shenzhen's abilities.
Delay?
He could only delay now! Give Long Wanyu more time to leave.
In the outside world, Mo Yike frowned as he watched Gu Hai enter the fog.
"Men!" Mo Yike said in a low voice.
"Yes, sir!"
"Send people to scout the surroundings and see if there are any red-crowned crane carriages leaving. Also, inform the guards at the city gates to check all the carriages that enter and leave!" Mo Yike said in a low voice.
"Yes, sir!"
"Inform the Ministry of Works to activate the underground array in the Capital City. Activate it immediately so that no one can escape. At the very least, as long as someone digs an underground tunnel, they will be found immediately!" Mo Yike ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, Gu Hai walked out of the fog again and saw Mo Yike.
"Mr. Goode, can you visit the princess now?" Mo Yike smiled.
"Sorry, Mr. Mo, the princess is resting …! Why don't you come back tomorrow? "Gu Hai shook his head with a bitter smile.
"It's okay, I'll just wait for the princess!" Mo Yike's expression changed, and he said firmly.
"In that case, as you wish!" Gu Hai shook his head.
Mo Yike also frowned. Gu Hai didn't invite him into his manor?
However, considering the unpleasantness at the Mo Residence not long ago, Mo Yike couldn't force him.
Looking at the fog in front of him, Mo Yike raised his eyebrows and felt anxious. Gu Hai's excuse was to prevent him from acting rashly? But could he just wait?
No, he had to go in and take a look!
Mo Yike had a bad feeling. Long Wanyu was no longer around. However, they hadn't fallen out, so he couldn't force his way in.
"Men!" Mo Yike called.
"Yes, sir!"
"Is the little prince nearby?" Mo Yike looked at the subordinate.
"Yes, the Crown Prince is in the newly built restaurant not far away!" the subordinate said respectfully.
"His Highness wants to apologize to Envoy Qian in Dayou Hall, but he still needs to wait a few more days to show his sincerity. Go and ask the little prince to come here and apologize on his behalf!" Mo Yike ordered.
The subordinate was stunned, but he finally answered, "Yes, sir!"
The subordinate left quickly.
"The little prince?" Gu Hai asked in confusion.
"The son of Heokkang Of Silla, Xiyong!" Mo Yike nodded.
"Oh? Xiyong? "Gu Hai frowned slightly.
He had been studying the information of the top nobles in Daewon these days. Xiyong? Like Mo Yike and Qin Zibai, he was also a second-generation aristocrat. However, Xiyong didn't have Mo Yike's wisdom or Qin Zibai's martial arts. The only thing that made him different from ordinary people was that he was hot-tempered and always caused trouble everywhere.
Why did Mo Yike ask him to come?
Gu Hai instantly understood Mo Yike's plan.
Gu Hai's expression darkened, but he couldn't show it. After all, Mo Yike said that he wanted Xiyong to apologize on behalf of his father.
"Rumble!"
Xiyong hadn't arrived yet. Another group of people rushed over.
It was Qin Zibai and a few subordinates. They quickly arrived at Gu Hai's manor.
"Lord Mo is here too?" Qin Zibai frowned slightly.
"Lord Qin?" Mo Yike frowned.
Qin Zibai nodded with a smile.
Qin Zibai immediately looked at Gu Hai.
"Mr. Goode!" Qin Zibai walked up to Gu Hai and suddenly bowed respectfully.
Gu Hai immediately dodged. "Lord Qin, what are you doing?"
Qin Zibai smiled bitterly. "Mr. Goode, thank you for helping me in the northern part of the city! Otherwise, I would have been killed by the second army's commander. Qin Zibai owes you one more time! "
"You're too polite, Lord Qin. I was invited by Mr. Mo to help!" Gu Hai immediately smiled.
Mo Yike smiled bitterly. Naturally, he could tell that Gu Hai's words were directed at him. Gu Hai had just given you face and helped you a lot, but now you're trying to undermine him. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?
Mo Yike sighed in his heart. If you're not in your position, you can't do your job! As an official of the Daewon, he had to put the interests of the Daewon first.
After hearing Gu Hai's words, Mo Yike didn't dare to say anything.
Qin Zibai shook his head and said, "That's another matter. When I returned home, my father repeatedly asked me to thank Mr. Goode. At the same time, my father also asked me to thank Princess Wanyu in person no matter what. Thank you for letting bygones be bygones and letting Mr. Gu take action! "
"Oh?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
The head of the Qin family?
Gu Hai looked at Mo Yike. Obviously, if Mo Yike thought of it, then the head of the Qin family also thought of it. Worried that Long Wanyu would leave?
"Right, before I left, my father said that the princess might be frightened, so he asked me to bring a Calming Pearl for the princess to calm her nerves. He asked me to personally give it to the princess!" Solemnly, Qin Zibai took out a jade box.
At the side, Mo Yike smiled bitterly. Qin Zibai's father was blind, but his heart was clear. He even guessed Gu Hai's excuse and sent a Calming Pearl?
Gu Hai frowned and shook his head. "I'm sorry, the princess is already resting. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"
"No, my father said that if the princess is resting, I should wait here! Only then can I show my sincerity! "Solemnly, Qin Zibai said.
"Alright!" Gu Hai smiled bitterly.
"Mo Yike, why did you call me here?" Suddenly, an angry shout came from the other side of the street.
"Hmm?" Everyone turned to look.
A young man in a red robe walked over with a group of followers behind him. He had a gloomy expression on his face.
"Young master!" Mo Yike smiled.
"Xi Yong?" Qin Zibai raised his eyebrows.
The red-robed man, Xi Yong, suddenly saw Gu Hai and the rest.
"Oh? Gu Hai? "Xi Yong narrowed his eyes as a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
These days, Gu Hai had been in the limelight countless times, but in Xi Yong's eyes, he was extremely hated. Not long ago, in Wu Yue Academy, his father, Heokkang Of Silla, had been slapped in the face by Gu Hai in front of the entire city.
It was a great humiliation!
If not for Heokkang Of Silla's order not to disturb Envoy Gan, Xi Yong would have found him long ago.
Xi Yong might not be as capable as Qin Zibai and Mo Yike, but he was still the most honorable young master of the Xi family.
He was fine in the restaurant just now, but Mo Yike's people came over and asked him to apologize to Gu Hai?
Xi Yong took advantage of the alcohol and walked over with reddened eyes.
"Young master!" Gu Hai smiled.
Mo Yike immediately said, "Young master, His Majesty has ordered Heokkang Of Silla to apologize to Da Qian's envoy in front of all the officials in Great Leisure Hall for his rudeness in front of the Mo Estate! After all, it was a misunderstanding. I saw you nearby just now, so I asked someone to invite you here. You can apologize to the princess on behalf of His Majesty! "
"What? You want my royal father to apologize to that little girl in front of all the civil and military officials in the Great Hall? "Xi Yong was suddenly enraged.
"That's right!" Mo Yike nodded.
Gu Hai could tell that Mo Yike was using Xi Yong to cause trouble so that he could investigate whether Long Wanyu was still around.
"Mr. Mo, do you think the Da Qian envoy isn't chaotic enough?" Gu Hai said in a low voice.
"Mr. Goode!" Mo Yike turned around to explain.
"You don't have to say anything. Young master Xi Yong? Please go back. Heh, we don't need your apology! "Gu Hai said in a low voice.
"Huh? You want me to go back? It's not that easy. Gu Hai, didn't you want me to apologize on behalf of His Majesty? Come on, let's go! Let me go see that little girl. Hmph! I'll apologize on behalf of my Imperial Father, and everything from before will be written off! "Xi Yong immediately took a step forward and intended to enter the formation.
"Hold it right there!" Gu Hai glared at him.
Xi Yong didn't seem to care about Gu Hai at all.
Gu Hai's expression darkened. His voice suddenly became much louder, spreading in all directions in an instant.
"The Great Qian Dynasty's envoys came with friendship, but you insulted us again and again. Is this how Daewon treats its guests? Wuyue Academy humiliated us with calligraphy. In the Mo Estate, you led troops to search the Da Qian envoy and humiliated us. You forced us to buy another manor. When Daewon was in danger, the Da Qian envoy didn't forget the friendship between our two countries and risked our lives to help. Some of the people in the envoy were frightened and wanted to rest. Why can't I rest in the manor I bought? You want to conduct another search? Xi Yong, you've gone too far! "Gu Hai suddenly shouted.
"Boom!"
Gu Hai's voice immediately spread in all directions. In an instant, countless people in Da Qian City heard Gu Hai's voice.
Xi Yong's eyes widened. He couldn't argue. I haven't made a fuss yet. If you stop me again, I won't barge in. What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for? I didn't …!
