“Wow!”
Lei Hong was instantly startled by Yun Wu’s sudden voice and fell back in her seat, “You… You… General Yun Wu, are you alright?”
Yun Wu sat up and rubbed his temples. “What? Do you hope I have something happen to me? Are you so eager to offer incense to me?”
“hahaha”
Mo Junyi and Xun Tanggu’s several brothers couldn’t help but laugh a few times.
Leihong awkwardly scratched her head, “General Yunwu, I…I was just too nervous.”
Yun Wu patted his head, looking serious and saying, “However, I took what you said seriously just now. If I still haven’t left a son or daughter before I die, remember to burn more paper for me.”
He had never in his life imagined becoming a father, and what he told Lei Hong was just a joke.
After finishing his words, Yun Wu turned to Mo Jun Yi and the tiger at his feet. “Thankfully, Da Zi and the others arrived in time. Otherwise, once I fell, His Highness would have likely been taken away by them.”
“What?” Before Mo Junyi could speak, Lei Hong’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Young Master, what happened? What about them? Who are they?”
Mo Junyi shook his head. “A man and a woman. This prince doesn’t know their identities.”
As they spoke, he looked up at Yunwu, “But just now, Yunwu, you seemed to know who they were.”
Yun Wu nodded slightly, “I didn’t see the woman’s appearance, but I did recognize the man. He is the Ming Deng Master that the Princess has been searching for.”
“If my guess is correct, the woman beside him is none other than Chi’er, who spent some time at the palace.”
This is also the reason why he was so surprised when he saw the lantern clearly.
At the beginning, knowing that two people were deliberately waiting here, he racked his brains, trying to think of any possible mastermind behind the scenes. It could be the Bai Guang Palace, or perhaps someone in Beijing: the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, or even the Third Princess.
All the people he had in mind were highly likely to attack the prince, but he never dreamed that the two tonight would be the master of the Ming Deng and the woman named Zhi’er.
Since the Master Ming Deng took Zhi Er away from the palace, their King and Queen have been sending people to look for their whereabouts.
strangely enough, the two people seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter how many people they sent out to look for them, they couldn’t be found.
I didn’t expect them to be here, and they even wanted to capture their young master.
<<>>
Yun Wu shook his head slightly, “My subordinate can’t guess either. The Crown Princess has been taking good care of that woman. Even if she wakes up and truly wants to leave the Prince’s Mansion, the Crown Princess won’t stop her. I just don’t know what she’s thinking. She actually conspired with Ming Deng to daze the people in the Prince’s Mansion and left using escape.”
Lei Hong pursed her lips, “That’s just crazy, isn’t it? The princess has been so kind to her, yet she still wants to run away.”
He’s a real ingrate.
Mo Junyi didn’t want to waste his energy criticizing that woman and what kind of a white-eyed wolf she was. He just wanted to know why she targeted his mother.
If she were to truly catch him, what would she do to use him against his mother?
Now that his mother is pregnant again, he certainly doesn’t want her to have even the slightest problem.
Next time he meets those two, he must find a way to kill them.
The sudden appearance of Ming Deng and Zhi Er solidified Mo Jun Yi’s resolve to return to the capital and be by his mother’s side. He had always thought that his mother would be safer staying in the Prince’s residence, but it seemed now that she had become the target of many.
Whether they were officials in the court or martial artists in the Jianghu, everyone wanted to capture his mother. Knowing this, he couldn’t rest easy if he wasn’t by her side.
Thinking about this, Mo Junyi looked around at the people present, “Everyone, have a good rest tonight. When the sky brightens, we will set off and return to the capital as soon as possible.”
Everyone bowed and said, “Yes.”
……
Ming Deng and Zhi Er were not too far apart, but they also knew that such fierce beasts as tigers were very sensitive. If they were too close, the tigers would surely notice them.
Chi’er failed to catch Mo Jun Yi, and after stopping, she kicked a stone by her foot fiercely, gritting her teeth and saying, “That drug should have worked. How could they be fine?”
The Ming Deng shook his head slightly, he didn’t know either.
Their daze, the drug usually took effect immediately, but who would have thought that the two of them never fell down.
And the reason why Zhi’er wasted so many words with Mo Junyi was because they didn’t fall as expected.
Their Western Regions tribe’s poison was failing for the first time.
Mingming had fainted those people instantly when she was at the Bei Jiang Wangfu before. Why didn’t it work this time?
As soon as she thought about how she had spent so long lying in wait and still hadn’t caught Mo Junyi, the anger in her heart couldn’t be suppressed.
Ming Deng pursed her lips and said no more.
In terms of martial arts, he and Zhi’er were no match for Yunwu. Not to mention that Mo Jiumu himself was skilled in martial arts. The poison and medicine had no effect, so the two of them had no chance of winning.
The first attempt wasn’t successful, and now things are even harder.
Having thought of this, Ming Deng looked at Zhi’er, “Master, shall we continue to find a way to follow them?”
Zhi’er frowned and remained silent for a moment, “Since the poison had no effect on them, with just the two of us, we couldn’t even defeat Yun Wu by Mo Jun Yi’s side, let alone Mo Jun Yi who also has masters from Xun Tang Gu.”
And after what just happened, the people around Mo Junyi will definitely be more cautious. They probably won’t have a chance to make a move.
Then there was a moment of silence. Zi’er didn’t know what she was thinking, but the corner of her mouth suddenly curled into a sinister smile. “Fine, since we can’t catch him with our own abilities, let those who are capable come and lead the way.”
By then, the mantis stalks the cicada while the yellow bird waits in the wings. Who knows into whose hands Mo Junyi will ultimately fall?
Ming Deng understood Chi Er’s plan at once, and a slight smile played on his lips. “Understood.”
……
Ming Deng and Zhi Er could never have imagined that An Xue Tang had long since developed a counter-formula for those Western Regions demon tribe’s sorcery and drugs to prevent them from using them again, and even made sachets containing the remedy.
And the sachet that Mo Junyi was wearing today happened to be the one that An Xue Tang had concocted.
This sachet was originally on Yun Wu’s person, but during their time at the Bei Jiang camp, Yun Wu had already given it to Mo Jun Yi.
That is why Mo Junyi has always been fine.
While Yunwu Station was closer to Mo Junyi than the others, he didn’t immediately faint.
