Upon hearing the report from outside, Mo Junyi and Yun Yi’s expressions changed drastically.
Yun Yi jumped to his feet, “Young Master, you must leave with me today. The Crown Prince has likely already guessed that you came to see me.”
Mo Jun Yi’s expression was serious, his brow furrowed as he stood there lost in thought.
A moment later, Mo Junyi looked at Yun Yi and said firmly, “I can’t leave. My father king may not be coming for us. He could very well be bluffing, waiting for you to panic and jump out so he can catch all of you.”
Yun Yi frowned slightly, he actually felt that what the son said was reasonable.
This place they are in is usually not found.
Today, when the young master came, he was also certain that he wasn’t being followed. That means he didn’t expose himself.
If he panicked and left with his men because of the prince’s cunning ploy, then he would truly become the enemy agent the prince spoke of. The prince could then publicly order the capture of all the Yun family soldiers.
Thinking about this, Yun Yi at this time was actually calm. He looked at Mo Junyi, “What the young master said is reasonable. My subordinates are prepared to take a gamble and just continue staying here.”
Mo Junyi nodded in agreement, “Okay, but if my father can’t find you today, they won’t give up, so you still need to think of a way to leave quickly.”
“Speaking of which, Mo Junyi suddenly remembered something and continued, “By the way, Yun Yi, you don’t have to leave the dark guards to protect this prince. I have so many tigers around me, their strength you have seen. I won’t be in any danger. If the dark guards stay, what if they are discovered? Then this prince would really be exposed. All the hard work I put into hurting you before would be for nothing.”
Yun Yi hesitated, mainly because their Yun Family Army’s lifelong mission was to protect not only the Bei Jiang Wangfu but also the prince.
Mo Junyi seemed to know what he wanted to say. At this moment, with a mature demeanor beyond his years, he walked over and patted Yun Yi on the shoulder:
“Yun Yi, this prince is not someone who can be manipulated by others. I have my own plans. Besides, there are more than a dozen tigers left by my mother beside me. Ordinary people would find it difficult to hurt me. You just need to leave here safely. There’s still much to do next, and you mustn’t get into trouble.”
Yun Yi lowered his head slightly. He naturally knew what the prince meant. The prince’s ambition was exposed, and he had already discovered that he had met with several people from neighboring countries. Judging by this, the prince was very likely to take the most dangerous step: cooperate with the neighboring countries to destroy Tianba country.
While the Northern Border army is currently the strongest military force in the Tianba nation, if the Northern Border army and other cities are left weakened after a devastating battle, neighboring countries might betray us at this crucial moment. With only the prince’s meager forces and hundreds of thousands of depleted Northern Border soldiers, we wouldn’t stand a chance against their invasion!
By then, don’t even say that Beijang can’t be defended; I’m afraid that the Tianba Kingdom will completely perish and be divided up by other countries.
Lan Guo has always coveted the Northern Border. For over a hundred years, Lan Guo has wanted to conquer the Northern Border.
After all, for the Blue Nation, which is constantly plagued by freezing cold weather, the Northern Frontier boasts fertile soil. The grain production there is more than enough to feed its people.
Obviously, the prince hadn’t considered this at all. Right now, his mind was only on avenging the emperor of Tianba Country, and he hadn’t thought about the consequences of doing so.
Once those soldiers from neighboring countries are allowed into the city, who can guarantee they will leave on their own? If they do not leave, it will bring great disaster to the Heavenly Domination Nation.
And now neighboring countries are almost all aware that the prince and emperor are preparing for civil war. When that time comes, they will certainly take advantage of the situation to invade. With internal strife and external threats, things will be very difficult.
Yun Yi clasped his hands together. “Yes.”
Yun Yi and the others continued to stay here, while Mo Junyi hurried off to meet up with Lei Hong.
Not long after he found Lei Hong, Mo Yunchen came with thousands of elite soldiers.
Mo Junyi looked at him with disbelief, “Father, how did you get here?”
Mo Yunchen cast a thoughtful glance around, then glanced at Lei Hong and the dozen or so tigers before finally looking at Mo Junyi, “Have you made any progress today?”
Mo Junyi slightly nodded and immediately cupped his hands together, saying, “Reporting to Father King, I found some suspicious things here.”
“!”
Lei Hong, bowing her head, was startled by Mo Jun Yi’s words.
Does the prince even know what he’s saying? He hasn’t found anything here at all!
Thinking this way, Lei Hong couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
But seeing Mo Junyi’s confident demeanor, he suddenly felt a little more at ease.
Having been by the prince’s side for so long, he doesn’t seem to have noticed that the prince has done anything unreliable.
Mo Yunchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Mo J uninny, “Oh? What is it?”
Mo Junyi nodded slightly, his expression serious and solemn, “Father, come with me.”
After that, Mo Junyi took Mo Yunchen and the others into their respective courtyards.
This courtyard looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but Mo Junyi still managed to find a blood-stained garment.
This piece of clothing is no stranger to everyone, it’s Yun Yi’s general uniform.
Seeing this garment, Mo Yunchen narrowed his eyes, “Zi Ling, are you trying to say that Yun Yi stayed here after escaping the camp?”
“The humble son believes so.”
Mo Junyi then pointed to the medicinal residue under the tree, “Earlier, I have examined the composition of this medicine. It is just right for treating external injuries.”
Mo Yunchen stared intently at Mo Junyi, “Then what do you think, Yi Zilong? Is Yun Yi still in the city?”
Mo Junyi nodded slightly, “In my opinion, Yun Yi’s injuries are so severe that relying on these medicinal herbs alone is utterly useless. He is badly wounded and finding it difficult to leave Beijang City. What’s more, outside the city, Father has already sent people to guard it? Yun Yi cannot fly even if he had wings.”
After Mo Junyi finished speaking, Mo Yunchen didn’t say anything, just stared at him.
Just like he wanted to see something from Mo Junyi’s face, but Mo Junyi didn’t give him any clues at all.
After a brief stalemate, Mo Yunchen suddenly burst into laughter. He patted Mo Junyi on the shoulder, “Ziling, you truly are my good son. At such a young age, you understand so much. Your father is deeply pleased.”
Mo Junyi slightly bowed his head. “Thank you, Father King, for the praise. But my son still wants to continue looking for Yun’s whereabouts in the city with the tigers. Is that alright with Father King?”
Mo Yunchen naturally nodded in agreement at this time, “Okay, Father, I’ll bring you good news.”
“Yes.”
Mo Yunchen left most of his elite soldiers with Mo Jinyi, claiming it was to help him. However, both Mo Jinyi and Lei Hong knew that their presence was to keep an eye on them.
After Mo Yunchen left, Lei Hong took advantage of those people not paying attention and leaned into Mo Junyi’s ear and said, “Young Master, what are you up to?”
Mo Junyi clenched his fists, “Lei Hong, you’ll need to get hurt later.”
