Chapter 544 is a test for Nanyu

If this sentence had been said by Nan Yu earlier, Mo Jiuye would have reacted with indignation.

But as time went by, he became more indifferent. No matter what, as long as all the members of his Mo family were together, this was God's blessing to the Mo family. He was already satisfied to be able to reunite as a family.

After learning about the latest situation of the Mohist School, Nan Yu did not dwell on it too much. No matter what, in his opinion, loyal and good people should have a good ending.

His thoughts returned to the matter of getting the Mo family back to the court.

"Master Jiu, do you mean to stay in the northwest?"

"What's wrong with my Mohist sect staying in the northwest? The northwest is where the Dashun Sect checks and balances the barbarians. With my Mohist sect here, the imperial court will never have to worry about harassment from the barbarians."

Nan Yu could have thought of this even if Mo Jiuye hadn't said it.

Most of the wars during the Dashun period were caused by barbarians and southern Xinjiang.

Because the hatred between Dashun and Southern Xinjiang is much deeper than that between Nanyu and the barbarians, after Nanyu returned to his ancestral home, he had the idea of ​​completely wiping out Southern Xinjiang and the barbarians. Only in this way could he eliminate future troubles forever.

On the surface, the Dashun Empire seemed like a prosperous nation, but after he took power, he discovered that the country was a hollow shell, especially the treasury, which had been completely robbed by "thieves"...

In order to investigate the whereabouts of the national treasury funds, Nan Yu put a lot of effort into the Xue family, but in the end he was unable to find out their whereabouts, and the matter ended in vain.

Based on these circumstances, if Southern Xinjiang takes any action while the barbarians are attacking Dashun, Dashun will probably no longer be able to maintain the status quo.

If they follow Mo Jiuye's suggestion, the Mo family will not only be able to permanently protect Dashun's western border, but they can also be on guard against any actions in southern Xinjiang in advance.

Even though Nan Yu had just taken over these things, he knew in his heart that the foreign enemies had been trying their best for so many years but had not been able to capture a single city of Dashun, all because of the Mohist men's desperate defense for many years.

No matter how serious the situation is at the moment, Nan Yu firmly believes that as long as the Mo family is stationed at the border, Dashun will always be peaceful.

Besides, Nan Yu had unconditional trust in the Mo family and never thought that the Mo family would have any rebellious intentions.

Although Nan Yu did not object to the conditions proposed by Mo Jiuye, as a superior, it was impossible for him to agree without appearing to be at all embarrassed.

Moreover, he also hoped that the Mo family could help deal with any troubles that might arise in southern Xinjiang.

For Nan Yu, this was a good time to state his conditions.

"There's nothing wrong with the conditions proposed by the Ninth Young Master and Ninth Madam. I will go to the palace later to personally report this to my father, but..."

He deliberately acted hesitant, making Mo Jiuye think that he was in trouble.

Mo Jiuye knew that the conditions he proposed might be difficult for Nan Yu. Although Nan Yu was already in charge of most of the affairs of Dashun, he had only been back to the court for a short time. It was not easy for him to agree to such a big thing.

If the other party is in any difficulty, he can make some concessions as a sign of consideration for his friend.

However, He Zhiran thought differently from Mo Jiuye. She saw through Nan Yu's little thoughts at a glance.

Before Mo Jiuye could speak, she spoke first, "Is the Third Prince planning to have the Mo Clan send people to help defend the southern border? That way, you'll be more convincing when you raise this matter with the Emperor."

Nan Yu was obviously embarrassed when his thoughts were seen through. Since the matter had been made clear by He Zhiran, he was not the kind of person to hesitate.

"I do have such an idea. I'm sure you two are also aware of the current situation in the court. There are indeed no suitable generals available on the battlefield.

Although there is no news of troops being dispatched to southern Xinjiang yet, it is only a matter of time.

In other words, Dashun will sooner or later be attacked from all sides. To resolve this dilemma, I can only place my hopes on the Mo family."

After a pause, Nan Yu explained:

"I know this is a bit unreasonable. I'm already flattered that the Ninth Young Master has agreed to return to the court. However, you all know my current situation. My father thinks highly of me and has entrusted me with such an important task just after I returned to my roots. Under such circumstances, I must give it my all.

In other words, whether I can preserve the Dashun territory this time is also a test for me. If I fail, I may miss out on that position."

Nan Yu spoke from the bottom of his heart, and he did not even hide the fact that he wanted to sit in that position.

Perhaps this is his honest attitude towards those he recognizes.

What Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran admire most about Nan Yu is that no matter whether he is an emperor or a commoner, he will not lose his character because of his status.

In fact, even if Nanyu didn't say it, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had also considered this matter.

Since the Mohists have chosen to return to the court, they will certainly not stay out of anything, especially since they also regard Nan Yu as a close friend.

According to He Zhiran's understanding of history, during Nan Yu's reign, he not only made the country strong, but was also praised by everyone as a loyal and righteous emperor.

Mo Jiuye would not care about anything else, and would help out even for the sake of his friendship with Nan Yu.

What's more, the Mohists have already produced a large number of bombs. When they go to the border to fight the enemy, as long as they have bombs, they don't have to worry too much about casualties.

Not only that, as long as the Mo family brings bombs to the battlefield, the war will surely be resolved quickly with a crushing force, without wasting much time at all.

Moreover, the Mo family already hated Southern Xinjiang to the extreme. All the sufferings of the Mo family men were related to Southern Xinjiang, whether directly or indirectly.

It can be said that Southern Xinjiang is the number one enemy of Mohism.

Even if it is to avenge the sufferings suffered by their fathers and brothers, they will attack southern Xinjiang without hesitation. What's more, now that they have such a legitimate opportunity, Mo Jiuye will not let it go no matter who it is for.

There was also the matter of the bomb being exposed to light, which he and He Zhiran had discussed in advance.

In the future, the Mohist school will have the northwest as its fiefdom, and over time it will inevitably be feared by those with ulterior motives.

It would be different if people knew that they had a special and extremely powerful weapon in their hands. Anyone who wanted to have any bad intentions towards the Mohist School would have to consider his own weight, even Nan Yu!

Seeing that Nan Yu was speaking frankly, Mo Jiuye simply stopped keeping him in suspense.

"My Mohist sect can consider what the Third Prince said, but the prerequisite is to see the court's sincerity towards my Mohist sect."

The meaning of this statement is very clear. It is to ask the court to first settle the issues of the throne and fiefdom. The Mo family will take action immediately after obtaining these.
