At the same time that Mo Rongzhan and the rest arrived at the imperial capital, Ming Xi and the rest also arrived at Weicheng City.
They did not immediately go to the General's Mansion to find Tang Zhen. Instead, they first found a place to stay and by the way, they inquired about the recent news from the capital.
"I don't think I've heard anything." Mo Rongyi frowned. They had been in the City of Wei for more than half a day. They had been sitting in the inn with the most information, but no one had mentioned anything about the capital.
"No news, which proves Marquis Jingning's status in the City of Wei." Ming Xi said, "When we entered the city, there were quite a few soldiers on the city walls. All of them had very solemn expressions on their faces. It didn't seem like nothing had happened."
Mo Rongyi stood up, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Tang Zhen now."
"Uncle Xiao Wang, don't worry, it's the same if we go find Marquis Jingning tomorrow." Ming Xi pulled Mo Rongyi's hand, "Moreover, we still have things to do."
"The most important thing for us is to find Tang Zhen and let him cooperate with us. If we don't tell him the truth, what if he really rebels?" Mo Rongyi's handsome face was filled with worry. He did not want the Jin Nation to be embroiled in internal strife before Zhao Ning was rescued.
Ming Xi said, "Marquis Jingning is a calm person and won't make rash decisions."
Mo Rongyi glanced at Ming Xi. Ming Xi was clearly a child, but for some reason, his words were so organized that he had no choice but to believe him.
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Mo Rongyi said in a deep voice.
"Little Uncle, do you want to return to the inn to rest first?" Ming Xi asked.
Mo Rongyi shook his head. "I've rested well. Do you have anything else to do?"
"We're going to spread a rumor." Ming Xi said softly, his red and black eyes flashing with a crafty light.
"What rumors?" Mo Rongyi asked.
Ming Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Tang Zhen and Shui Yichen colluded, intending to help Little Uncle ascend to the throne."
"..." Mo Rong Yi's eyes widened. What?
"How are we going to spread the rumor?" Shang'er blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
Ming Xi smiled as he said, "One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, and soon it has spread."
Shang'er looked at Ming Xi, not really understanding. "It's too complicated here."
"Rumors can't be trusted, you know?" Ming Xi said to Shang'er, "What you see with your own eyes, what you hear with your own ears, what you truly understand is the truth."
"Oh." Shang'er nodded.
Mo Rongyi shouted, "Do you know what effect this will have on Tang Zhen if word of this gets out?"
At that time, even if Murong Ke wanted to believe Tang Zhen, it would be difficult.
"I know." Ming Xi nodded. Since he was the one who spread the rumors, he naturally knew the consequences.
"If we don't do this, we won't be able to carry out the rest of the plan," Ming Xi said. He glanced at Fire Phoenix and Shang 'er. "Let's go."
Mo Rongyi had no idea what his nephew wanted to do. "Mingxi!"
"This was all agreed to by my father." Ming Xi said in a low voice, "Uncle Xiao Wang, don't worry, we know what to do."
Did Imperial Brother agree? Mo Rongyi stared blankly for a moment. Was this also part of Imperial Brother's plan?
On the road, Ming Xi had only told him that he was looking for Tang Zhen. He wanted Tang Zhen to pretend to cooperate with Murong Ke and show that he had the intention of betraying them and colluding with Shui Yichen … This was a bit serious.
"Ming Xi, what should we do next?" Fire Phoenix looked curious. He was looking forward to what would happen next. It would definitely be more interesting than in the capital.
"We'll go wherever there are the most people." Ming Xi smiled. "However, we have to change our appearance first."
After half an hour, the three children had completely changed their appearance. Mo Rongyi stared at the three strangers in front of him, dumbfounded. He didn't know how Ming Xi had become a young master. Although he was a little short, he didn't look childish at all. And Fire and Shang 'er had unexpectedly become young manservants.
"You …" Mo Rongyi exclaimed. "How did you do it?"
Ming Xi said with a smile. "Uncle Xiao Wang, you wait here for us. Tomorrow, we can go find Marquis Jingning."
…
…
Mo Rongyi was really curious about what these three children could do. After Mingxi and the others left the inn, he also followed them out, not too far nor too close. He saw that Mingxi and the others first went to the largest gambling house in Weicheng City. In less than an hour, the three of them came out of the gambling house with smiles, followed by two sturdy men who had a dark expression on their faces as they watched them leave.
Did these three children come out to play? Mo Mingxi felt that something was wrong.
He continued to follow them and they went to a tea house. The three ordered a table full of delicacies and left after a big meal.
When he saw them walk into the largest brothel in the capital, Mo Rongyi's eyeballs almost fell out.
If Imperial Brother knew that Ming Xi actually went to a brothel, he would definitely break his legs …
Ming Xi had changed his appearance to that of a young master. With one look, one could tell that he was a useless debauchee. Just as he entered the brothel, he was immediately ushered to the VIP room.
"He's still following us. Will he follow us in?" Fire Phoenix whispered in Ming Xi's ear. Today they had fun and food to eat. He didn't want it to be ruined by Mo Rongyi.
"Uncle Xiao Wang won't come in." Ming Xi said with a smile, indicating the Madam to call a few girls in.
Shang 'er's expression was not right. She clearly didn't like the environment here. "The smell here is too bad. Ming Xi, let's go somewhere else."
"The brothel is the easiest place to spread news. This is where we need to do our work." Ming Xi said in a low voice. "Bear with it."
"That's right. Look at those people downstairs. There are all kinds of people. As long as there's any news, it will definitely spread quickly." Fire Phoenix said.
Shang 'er pinched her nose and sat by the window. "Alright, I just don't like the smell here. And the looks of those girls. They're too ugly."
Very quickly, the Madam brought in a few girls for Ming Xi to choose from. Ming Xi glanced at them and gave the Madam three ingots of silver, asking her to keep all of them.
All of the girls' eyes lit up. This was a rich young master. He was really generous.
After the Madam left, Ming Xi drank a few mouthfuls of wine. He pretended to be drunk and revealed his background. He was originally from a noble family in the capital and was valued by the Emperor. However, the Emperor mysteriously disappeared and the new Emperor had his own confidants. Ming Xi was full of enthusiasm and had nowhere to vent it. From a diligent and ambitious youth, he became a playboy. He even said that he wanted to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. He killed all of the Emperor's former subordinates. Even Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen were forced to surrender to the Yuan Country.
He spoke intermittently, looking sorrowful and angry. The two servants at his side accompanied him in his scolding. The brothel girls listened with great interest. They still wanted to find out more news about the capital, but Ming Xi had already fallen asleep.
Fire Phoenix sent the brothel girls away and carried Ming Xi to his bed to rest.
In less than an hour, Ming Xi's words had already spread throughout the entire brothel. By the time someone came to look for him, the room was already empty.
