"Slave Zhi, we're going back to the palace!"
Reluctantly, Empress Zhangsun placed her grandson by Princess Changle's bedside. Looking at Princess Changle, who was gradually recovering, and looking at her chubby grandson, she could not help but have a doting expression on her face.
"So soon. Brother-in-law hasn't finished telling me about the Western Expedition!"
Li Zhi came over with little interest. He was very curious about Meton's Western Expedition and was asking Meton all kinds of questions. It was not easy to get the opportunity to go back so soon.
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "Meton is back. There will be plenty of time to ask for advice in the future."
"Brother-in-law, goodbye! In a few days, you must teach me a few things. " Li Zhi waved to Meton reluctantly. Now Li Zhi had grown up to be an elegant young master. It was no longer Mo Jiazi's problem.
Princess Changle was still lying in bed to recuperate. She couldn't help but smile and said, "It's inconvenient for me. Let Meton send my mother off!"
"Empress, please!" Meton stepped forward and said.
Under the leadership of Meton, Empress Zhangsun and others walked out of the Women and Children's Hospital. They immediately found that many people were staring at Meton.
"Ah! It's really Mo Jiazi! "
"Which one?" Someone wondered.
"The one with the darkest skin!"
Princess Changle was about to give birth. Everyone knew that once Mo Jiazi returned, he would definitely come back as soon as possible. Of course, there were many spies outside the Women and Children's Hospital. As expected, they found Meton's figure.
Meton had been in the Immensity Sea for too long and had been tanned. Now that he was pointed out in public, he couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly.
Seeing this, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Well, Changle is still in confinement. You'd better go back and take care of her. Don't send her off again!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
Meton stopped and watched as Empress Zhangsun boarded the carriage. He waved to the onlookers and then turned back to the Women and Children's Hospital.
"It really is Mo Jiazi! Mo Jiazi is back! "Everyone was in an uproar, and they immediately flew back to spread the news.
Soon, the news of Mo Jiazi's appearance at the Women's and Children's Hospital spread throughout the city of Chang 'an. Only then did the people of Chang' an believe that Mo Jiazi had returned safely.
As for Mo Jiazi's tanned skin, it was a hot topic. Of course, no one mocked him. Instead, they respected him even more.
The Mo Family and the Mo Family's Village were even more jubilant. The previous gloomy atmosphere and worries about the future of the Mo Family changed. Mo Jiazi's return made the Mo Family have a backbone again.
Of course, there were also people who were secretly sighing in disappointment. This was the best opportunity to control the Mo Family, but the Mo Family's son had avoided this calamity. However, they did not show it on the surface, and could only secretly hide their little thoughts in the dark corners of their hearts.
Three days passed quickly. Soon, it was the day when Princess Changle was discharged from the hospital. When the family of four just returned to the Mo Family's Mansion, the high-ranking officials and noble ladies around them came one after another.
"Ah! The princess gave birth to a little Marquis. Congratulations, Merton. The Mo Family has a successor! " The noble ladies said one after another. When they saw that Meton really came back while they were visiting Changle and their child, they all let out a sigh of relief.
It should be known that they had been trying to persuade Changle to let Meton come back as soon as possible, but they fell into Tubo's trap. Now that Meton came back safely, it could be said that this matter was over.
Modun tactfully left some space for Changle and a group of high-ranking officials and noble ladies. Not only did Changle have visitors, but he also had a constant stream of visitors.
The Minister of Agriculture, Su Lingnong, learned the secret skills of brewing wine and weaving in the Western Regions from Meton and left contentedly.
Li Jing visited for an hour. He put the paper that recorded the fighting methods and skills of gunpowder into his bosom like a treasure and hurried back to revise his military book.
Li Tai took the map of the Western Regions and asked about the terrain of the Eight Hundred Miles Immensity Sea, and immediately went back to write his own map.
Qin Huaiyu and others visited their little nephew and laughed at Meton's dark face. When they left with their heads held high, Meton's face became even darker.
…
It was not until nightfall that Meton had time to meet the people of the Mo Family who had been waiting for him for a whole day.
"Young master, you have come back safely. Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors of the Mo Family!"
Li Yi saw that Meton came back safely and could not help crying. These days, they seemed to have full confidence in Meton and firmly believed that Meton would come back safely, but they were tormented in their hearts. The Mo Family could be what it was today only because of Meton. If Meton really died in the desert, the current situation of the Mo Family would only be a flash in the pan. Then the Mo Family would probably continue to sink and no one knew when it could be revived.
"Uncle Li, don't be sad. Didn't I come back?" Meton comforted.
Li Yi begged: "Young master, don't put yourself in danger in the future. The Mo Family can't bear the risk of losing you."
The other elders of the Mo Family's village also started to persuade Mo Dun. It seemed that if Mo Dun didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to pass the test. It was too dangerous this time. Almost all the elders of the Mo Family's village couldn't sleep at night.
"This is nonsense. Who dares to disobey the emperor's order? Besides, if the young master did not risk his life outside, the Mo Family would not be what it is today." Uncle Fu reprimanded. The Mo Family could get Li Shimin's support because the Mo Family and Meton had made great contributions to the imperial court. If the Mo Family did not do anything, how could they get the support of the imperial court and revive the Mo Family?
Suddenly, the Mo Family was divided into two factions and began to quarrel.
Meton could not help but feel helpless. He slapped the table and said: "That's enough. The revival of the Mo Family is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall behind. I have already provoked the Hundred Schools of Thought. It is wishful thinking to stay out of it."
Li Yi and the others could not help but sigh. How could he not know this? However, Meton repeatedly put himself in danger. The Mo Family could not bear the consequences of losing Meton.
Meton changed the topic and said: "But in the future, I will also strengthen my own safety. This time, I got a little inspiration and am going to make a peerless weapon. With this weapon, I will be invincible in the world."
Meton picked up a pen and paper and drew a pattern quickly. It was the famous revolver in the future. This time, the enemies of Tubo and the Tang dynasty used Changle's pregnancy to lure him and the firearms supervisor to come back alone. This made Meton realize that someone in Chang 'an wanted to kill him. Now, he had to use a cheat to save his life. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to defend against a stab in the dark. If he had the protection of the revolver, his safety would be greatly guaranteed.
After all, no matter how powerful one's Kung Fu was, he could be knocked down by a gun. As for whether the Mo Family's Village could make the revolver, Meton was not worried at all. If there was a place in the world that could make the revolver, it must be the Mo Family's Village. Now the Mo Family's Village was in its peak state. The new generation of machinery was endless. The traditional handicrafts of the older generation were also exquisite. Even if it was polished by hand, it could also be made.
Hearing Meton's description of the power of the revolver, the eyes of the elders of the Mo Family's Village lit up. It was easy to carry and could shoot continuously. What's more, it was a powerful weapon. It was indeed the best self-defense weapon for the young master.
"Don't worry, young master. The Mo Family's Village will definitely make it as soon as possible for you to protect yourself." Li Yi repeatedly promised.
The other elders of the Mo Family's Village also felt relieved. With this weapon, they were much more assured about Meton's safety. They no longer urged Meton to cherish himself.
"I have been away for more than half a year. How is the Mo Family's Village now?" Meton asked about the current situation of the Mo Family's Village.
Hearing Meton's question, the elders of the Mo Family's Village couldn't help showing a trace of pride. They said, "Don't worry, young master. With the princess's care, no one dares to make trouble for the Mo Family's Village. Now the Mo Family's Village can be said to be developing rapidly. Especially Mei Niang, she has been working hard in the market outside. The name of the eldest senior sister of the Mo Family is well-known all over the world. The Mo Family's Village is even better than before."
Meton suddenly understood. No wonder he didn't see Wu Meiniang when he came back. It turned out that she had been working hard outside. Meton was on the expedition to the west. As the eldest senior sister of the Mo Family, Wu Meiniang was the name card of the Mo Family. She had been running around outside.
"But Mei Niang will definitely come back as soon as she heard that young master is back and the little young master is born." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Meton nodded and listened carefully to the report of the Mo Family's Village. When he found that everything was well in the Mo Family's Village, he felt relieved and went back to the room to accompany Changle.
