Chapter 342 Why didn’t you go to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to look for someone earlier?

"Xiaobai, whether we can succeed depends on you."

Xiaobai seemed to understand what his master said and barked softly in response.

The fifth and sixth brothers did not understand the ninth brother's actions. They did not believe that Xiaobai's mere call could be considered a response?

They were even more unconvinced. Since Fantuan was clearly Mr. Simeng's beloved pet, could he become the Ninth Brother after being tamed?

After all, this little thing has been with Mr. Simeng for a longer time. If it meets its original owner, it is hard to guarantee that it will not recognize him as its master again.

Mo Jiuye didn't know that his two brothers were worried. He was also calculating the time in his mind at this moment.

They rushed to the capital from the northwest, and it took them half a month to get there at full speed.

If the two people from southern Xinjiang reach the northwest and successfully find Xiaobai, they will definitely return to the capital as quickly as possible.

Of course, he always calculated the shortest time.

Even if everything went well for the two people from southern Xinjiang when they arrived in the northwest, it would be impossible for them to find Xiaobai immediately. Therefore, he planned to postpone the time so as to avoid arousing the other party's suspicion.

"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, let's hold off on our actions for a few days. Let's find a place to settle down first and observe what's going on in the Ninth Prince's Palace."

Sixth brother obviously didn’t think as much as Mo Jiuye.

"Ninth brother, since you have found the clue, why don't you go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to look for him earlier?"

Mo Jiuye told his two brothers what he was thinking. The fifth brother agreed, "Ninth brother, what you said makes sense. We finally got a clue, so we must not act rashly."

In the end, the three brothers discussed and decided to temporarily hide in the yard of the two people from southern Xinjiang.

Anyway, they are dead and will never come back, so it is much safer than showing up in public to find an inn or rent a house.

Of course, they also have to be wary of Mr. Simeng's spies coming here, and try to reduce going out or other actions.

The Mo brothers have regular facial features and are tall and strong, making them very conspicuous in the crowd.

Besides, many people in the capital know them, so it is very necessary to stay at home as little as possible.

Of course, you can send someone out to buy some ingredients.

When Mo Jiuye left home, He Zhiran prepared some makeup tools for him. Although his skills were not so skilled as to completely change a person's appearance, he could still do a simple disguise.

The three brothers did not go through the main gate, but instead used their lightness skills to jump over the wall into the yard.

In the moonlight, you can see that the yard is not big, but very tidy. There is a well in the center and two main rooms facing the gate.

There are two small side rooms on the east and west sides, one of which is empty and the other is the kitchen.

The fifth and sixth brothers pushed open the doors of the two main rooms at the same time. The furnishings of the rooms were basically the same. Facing the door was a bed, with a round table in the middle and wardrobes on both sides.

For fear of being discovered, the brothers did not plan to light the oil lamp, but groped their way in by the moonlight.

After checking and seeing that there was no danger, the fifth brother said, "Ninth brother, you can stay in one room by yourself. Sixth brother and I will stay here."

"good."

After traveling for days, Mo Jiuye was indeed a little tired. After he responded, his brothers went to rest.

Mo Jiuye lay on the bed but did not fall asleep immediately.

He was thinking carefully about going to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to investigate.

According to the confessions of the people in southern Xinjiang, they had never met Mr. Simeng, which means that they did not know what Mr. Simeng looked like.

However, since Mr. Simeng was looking for two people to do something in secret, he would inevitably observe them secretly. Therefore, it is very likely that Mr. Simeng knew what these two people looked like.

If that were the case, even if they sent Xiaobai to the Ninth Prince's Palace, their identities would definitely be discovered.

Even if he tried hard to disguise himself, the brothers' physiques were completely different from those of the two people from southern Xinjiang.

In this case, there is no need for the brothers to hide it.

If someone from the Ninth Prince's Mansion came out to take Xiaobai, they brothers would find an opportunity to sneak into the palace. If it was Mr. Simeng who came in person to take Xiaobai, they would catch him on the spot even if they had to risk their lives.

Of course, we also need to be wary of the power of the Ninth Prince's Mansion. The fact that the Ninth Prince can collude with Mr. Simeng must not be as simple as it seems.

But another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the Ninth Prince is like Nan Rui, and Mr. Simeng has some handle on him, so he is willing to do so.

No matter what, these are all matters of the Dashun court. He doesn't care about the struggles between the superiors as long as they do not harm the interests of the people and his Mohist school.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, the more Mo Jiuye thought about it, the more confused his mind became. He didn't know when he fell asleep.

Mo Jiuye has always been a light sleeper. When a faint light came through the window paper, he felt the sound of slight footsteps.

He sat up suddenly and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

As he spoke, Mo Jiuye quickly pushed the door open.

"Ninth brother, it's me."

"Fifth brother, why are you up so early?"

The fifth brother raised the bucket in his hand.

"If you can't sleep, get some water and cook. I see there's still some food in the kitchen. Let's have a simple meal."

Mo Jiuye originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but seeing that his fifth brother was already up, he gave up the idea and helped prepare breakfast.

In the Mo family, Mo Jiuye is the youngest son in the family. His brothers usually take good care of him and never let him do anything.

Fifth brother is still used to it.

"Ninth brother, don't bother. I can do it alone."

It's not that he looks down on Mo Jiuye. Mo Jiuye is now married and has a family. It's okay to let him take care of some things outside, but if he helps with these small housework, he's afraid that he will make things worse.

Mo Jiuye didn't know what his fifth brother was thinking. Instead of going back to rest as he was told, he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

There was quite a bit of food stored in the kitchen, but the few cabbages piled in the corner had completely rotted, and there were no other vegetables.

Fortunately, there were a few palm-sized pieces of dried bacon and a bunch of dried radishes hanging on the beams.

Mo Jiuye has learned to be very cautious now. Before cooking, he takes out the micro-toxin detector given to him by his wife and checks all the ingredients. Only after making sure that there are no problems does he start cooking.

The fifth brother thought that the ninth brother was just being polite to him and would not do anything when he entered the kitchen.

As a result, when he came in after chopping the firewood, he saw that Mo Jiuye had already washed the rice and put it in the pot, and the dried radish and bacon were all soaked in water.

Before he could say anything, Mo Jiuye had already taken the firewood he had chopped and quickly put it into the stove and lit it.

"Fifth brother, I'll make breakfast."

The fifth brother was dumbfounded when he saw his skillful movements.

But in order not to dampen his ninth brother's enthusiasm, he was already prepared to eat a dark meal.

No matter whether the food made by the ninth brother is edible or not, he must finish it...
