Chapter 139: Fire on the Houseboat

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the Imperial Master made a few feints and reached into his arms with one hand.

He Zhiran had just finished releasing the second wave of his homemade 'Death Coming' towards the guards. Turning around, he realized that the Imperial Master's movements were not right.

If my guess is correct, she either wants to take out some hidden weapon or poison them.

How could He Zhiran give her such an opportunity?

She quickly took out the tranquilizer gun from the space and shot it at the national teacher's calf.

After hearing a muffled sound, the Imperial Master collapsed completely.

He Zhiran stepped forward and quickly sent the person into the space, and walked towards the first floor of the houseboat with Mo Jiuye.

By chance, at the stairs, he met Nan Heng, who was coming up surrounded by a group of guards and members of the Salt Gang.

He Zhiran whispered to Mo Jiuye, "Leave Nan Heng to you, I'll take care of the others."

Mo Jiuye nodded slightly, and also raised a tranquilizer gun and fired it at Nan Heng's shoulder.

As Nan Heng fell to the ground, He Zhiran sprinkled a handful of powder at the guards and the Salt Gang members.

Before the guards and the salt gang members could react to what was happening, they fell to the ground.

He Zhiran took the opportunity to step forward, grabbed Nan Heng's arm, and sent him into the space.

Today they came here just out of curiosity, wanting to know who is behind the Salt Gang.

Who knew there would be such a big harvest.

Seeing that the guards and the salt gang members were all dead, the two still did not dare to let their guard down.

Today's matter involves Prince Nan Heng, and no one can be left alive.

So, the two men searched the entire houseboat with torches, and except for the singers and dancers, no one was left alive.

Neither Mo Jiuye nor He Zhiran are the kind of people who kill innocent people.

They all knew that these Kabuki were people doing business on the pleasure boats.

Despite this, they did not dare to be too careless, as no one could guarantee whether there were any of Nan Heng's people among these Kabuki actors.

In desperation, He Zhiran could only take out a nerve-paralyzing drug from the space and give it to them, causing them all to lose their memories.

In order to save their lives, none of the singers and dancers dared to struggle and took the medicine she gave them.

After the matter was settled, He Zhiran drove all these people onto the small boat that the imperial teacher had taken when he came.

Then, He Zhiran took out several bottles of alcohol from the space, and together with Mo Jiuye, sprinkled them around the houseboat.

At the same time, He Zhiran collected all the items she liked that she passed by into her space.

Regardless of whether these things are good or bad, they are all antiques when sold in the shop.

After taking care of everything, He Zhiran took out the kayak from the space and threw it into the lake. Mo Jiuye put his arms around her waist and jumped lightly, and the two of them landed steadily on the kayak.

Mo Jiuye swung the torch in his hand casually, and it fell on the pleasure boat.

In the dark night sky, flames shot up into the sky...

The light here is too good. In order to prevent someone on the shore from noticing something wrong and coming here to check, Mo Jiuye used his internal strength and rowed the kayak to an extreme speed.

In the blink of an eye, the two returned to the shore.

They could hear footsteps coming from not far away.

This means that the flames rising from the pleasure boat have attracted the attention of people on the shore.

Fortunately, they got ashore quickly and were not discovered.

He Zhiran put away the kayak, and Mo Jiuye used his lightness skills to pick her up and leave quickly.

When they were about a hundred meters away from the camp, Mo Jiuye noticed a black shadow swaying in front of him.

It was a dark and windy night, and they couldn't see each other's identities. They could only walk cautiously towards the man, intending to find out what was going on.

Before Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran came closer, Mo Chuhan spoke.

"Is it my ninth brother and his wife?"

"Myna? Why are you here?" Both of them were obviously shocked.

When they left, they took a careful look and found nothing unusual.

"I saw you guys leave quietly, and I was worried that you would be in danger, so I stayed here and waited."

Upon hearing this, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye looked at each other.

It goes without saying that they were all wondering whether they should tell Mo Chuhan what they had just done.

If I don't tell you, Mo Yunfeng will have to find all kinds of excuses to cover up when he sees the truth in the future.

If they tell the truth, how are they going to explain Mo Yunfeng's current whereabouts?

Moreover, He Zhiran did not intend to give his opinion on this matter. After all, it was a matter between the Mo brothers.

Mo Jiuye thought for a while and said:

"Myna, we just went to check it out and ran into Nan Heng on a pleasure boat on the salt lake..."

Mo Jiuye told the truth about what happened on the houseboat and that Mo Yunfeng was still alive without hiding anything.

Of course, the methods used by the two to cheat must never be revealed.

When Mo Chuhan heard this, his expression was almost the same as when Mo Jiuye found out that he was alive.

"Ninth brother, you said that third brother is not dead? Where is he? Take me to see him quickly."

Mo Yunfeng is in He Zhiran's space now. How can Mo Jiuye take Mo Chuhan to find him?

In desperation, he could only tell a lie.

"My dear brother, we set fire to the pleasure boat and attracted many people to watch. Considering that bringing the third brother along would easily attract other people's attention, we hid the three of us in a deserted place.

When it's safer tomorrow, I'll take Ranran with me, help Third Brother remove the poison, and then bring him back."

Mo Chuhan did not doubt his words.

He could only suppress his anxiety and nodded: "That's fine, I'll go with you to pick up the third brother tomorrow."

Mo Jiuye quickly spoke out to stop them: "No, the situation around the Salt Lake has been quite unsettled lately. I'm worried about my family's safety. One of us brothers must stay behind to protect them."

It has to be said that Mo Jiuye is now very decisive in deceiving people. Although Mo Chuhan is somewhat unwilling, he has to admit that his ninth brother is right.

"In that case, Eighth Brother will stay and protect the family. Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law must be careful when they go out."

Seeing that Mo Chuhan had turned around and was about to go back, He Zhiran reminded him.

"Eighth brother, before we bring Third Brother back, don't tell mother and the sisters-in-law about this, so as not to make them worry too much."

In fact, He Zhiran did it for safety reasons.

Nan Heng’s disappearance is such a serious matter that there will definitely be soldiers and officers searching everywhere. If the female relatives are too nervous and the soldiers and officers find out something, it will be a waste of time.

Mo Chuhan nodded: "Yes, I understand."

The three of them returned to their respective tents quietly. Just when He Zhiran was about to take Mo Jiuye into the space, Liang Hao's voice came from outside the tent.

"Master Jiu, I have something important to report."

Mo Jiuye knew what the important matter Liang Hao was talking about, but he couldn't say that it was his doing.

He pretended to be sleepy and walked out of the tent.

"What is it?"

Liang Hao looked around and whispered, "Master Jiu, the largest pleasure boat on the salt lake is on fire. I saw Prince Heng and his men board the boat with my own eyes."

Mo Jiuye nodded: "Well, you guys continue to keep an eye on it, and report back as soon as you have any new news."

This time, Mo Jiuye was not perfunctory, but really wanted to know what would happen after the houseboat caught fire and Prince Heng disappeared.

Liang Hao took the order and left again, and Mo Jiuye then returned to the tent.

He Zhiran took him and flashed into the space.
