Chapter 63: While the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Benefits

"Don't you know how tall this tree is?"

"How old are you? You're taking a child up a tree. What if he falls and gets hurt?"

In response to this, Shen Hechuan raised his head slightly and muttered softly.

"I was watching him, how could he fall down?"

After he finished speaking, Gu Jinxi beside him also muttered something.

"Yes, uncle has been holding me. Besides, I'm fine."

The two looked at each other silently while talking, and reached a tacit consensus.

When Gu Jingchun heard this, his eyes suddenly became as cold as ice.

The two of them immediately shut up and lowered their heads.

"You dare to talk back?"

"Just tell me, what you did was right?"

"wrong."

"Are you wrong?"

"Wrong."

"Will you dare to do it again in the future?"

"I don't dare anymore!"

Seeing both of them admit their mistakes in unison, Gu Jingchun's anger subsided a little.

But there was still some resentment in her eyes when she looked at Chen Hechuan.

She thought Shen Hechuan was a steady person, but she didn't expect that he would be so reckless when taking care of children.

Chen Hechuan also knew that he had not thought it through this time, so he lowered his head and let Gu Jingchun scold him.

Luo Ziqian just watched this scene quietly.

Her eyes lingered between Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan who let her scold her, her gaze deep and thoughtful.

At this time, on the northern border of Dayong, a haggard man dodged the heavy pursuit behind him, crossed mountains and rivers, and finally set foot on the land of Da Qi.

Looking at the vast grassland in front of him, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief and fainted completely.

In the evening.

The man woke up in the palace of Da Qi.

Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, he suddenly stood up and quickly took defensive actions.

But when he saw the man in front of him clearly, he suddenly stopped and knelt down immediately.

"Your servant Yuanchen of Zhaixing Pavilion pays homage to the Lord."

At this time, sitting in front of him was the monarch of Da Qi, Mo Junxing, who was wearing a black dragon robe.

His face looked as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were narrow and deep, and there was a bone-chilling coldness in the darkness, as if he were a bottomless cold pond, and seemed to be able to see through all the vanity in the world.

He only took a quick glance at the kneeling man and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, not daring to look at him again.

At this moment, he was playing with a thin wooden bracelet in his hand and looking at the kneeling man casually.

"I'm back."

These three short words made the man breathe a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on his back instantly dissipated a lot.

"I am ashamed. I sacrificed the lives of several of my companions and received your protection, so I was able to bring back half of the Darong defense map."

As he spoke, he quickly unbuttoned his upper body clothes and took out a dagger from his sleeve.

The eunuch Dasheng behind Mo Junxing was immediately shocked and took a step forward.

"How dare you..."

“Back off!”

Mo Junxing's two short words made Dasheng retreat immediately.

At the same time, the man stabbed the dagger in his hand into the left side of his abdomen.

In an instant, blood flowed and flesh and blood were blurred.

But he endured the pain and put his fingers into the wound and tapped it back and forth.

Until a wax ball fell out from it.

He stopped, picked up the wax ball, held it in his hand, raised it high above his head, and presented it to Mo Junxing.

Mo Junxing watched the whole scene indifferently.

After a long while, he finally uttered three words.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After receiving recognition, the man immediately bowed his head, as devout as a believer.

After the man left, Dasheng had already cleaned the wax ball, opened it, and presented it to Mo Junxing.

But Mo Junxing threw it aside without even looking at it.

"It's useless. Darong Tiandu's defense map changes at any time. By the time we prepare according to the map, we'll be walking into a trap."

Dasheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Then why did you, Your Majesty, waste so much manpower and resources to scramble for the defense map?"

Hearing this, Mo Junxing chuckled.

"I am not trying to seize this defense map, but rather using it as an opportunity to cause chaos in the Dacheng court."

The great victory is inexplicable.

Mo Junxing was in a good mood today, so he simply explained it again.

"Over the years, Dacheng has grown stronger and stronger, far surpassing us in both military and financial resources.

As for our Great Qi, internal strife has led to national turmoil and an empty treasury.

If this continues, it will be easy for Dacheng to deal with us."

As Mo Junxing spoke, his slender fingers gently moved the beads in his hand, as if he was caressing his lover's skin.

"However, over the years, Emperor Rongcheng has favored the Imperial Concubine and supported Prince Rui, which has gradually led to a rift in the court."

"Tell me, if Prince Rui knew that this defense map had arrived in Da Qi from under the Crown Prince's nose, what would he do?"

Dasheng suddenly realized what was going on and immediately said, "Of course it's dog-eat-dog.

And we can benefit from the conflict between the two parties."

Mo Junxing nodded, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly with a hint of coolness.

"The Crown Prince of Dacheng is no ordinary man. I never thought that he could actually bring back the defense map this time."

Upon hearing this, Dasheng quickly poured Mo Junxing a cup of tea and then said:

“This old servant has already asked Yuanchen.

He said that when they were in Tiandu, the two of them split up into two groups, and it was thanks to the signal flares you sent out that delayed them and allowed them to escape."

"But I've also checked. Our stronghold in Tiandu was completely wiped out by that Dacheng Crown Prince Shen Hechuan a long time ago. How could we afford to buy them time?"

Hearing this, Mo Junxing raised his eyebrows.

"oh?"

"So, there are actually people secretly helping us Da Qi.

In that case, we must investigate thoroughly so that we can thank them."

Dasheng understood that Mo Junxing was trying to win him over, so he immediately went down to investigate.

Mo Junxing added another sentence.

"Any news about the person you were looking for?"

Upon hearing this, Dasheng immediately knelt down and broke out in a cold sweat.

"We are searching. Your Majesty, please be patient. I will inform you immediately when I have any news."

Hearing this, Mo Junxing's face instantly turned cold.

The teacup in his hand also broke into pieces.

"Useless things, you can't even find anyone, what use are you."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."

"It's not that I can't find it, it's just that the cliff is so steep. If you fall from such a high place, you will definitely..."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. Until now, you haven't even found a body. How dare you tell me that he's dead?"

"That woman is very smart, and she has a child. She won't die so easily. She must be hiding somewhere and living well now."

"I will give you another three months. If you still can't find the person, bring your head to me."

Hearing this, Dasheng quickly agreed and retreated tremblingly.
