"Oh? What good idea?" Bei Yanming looked at her warily.
Su Bei took a bite of the skewer and said, "We have been looking for a man named Mo Gai Shi. I heard that he has assembled an army of 300,000..."
"Oh? Didn't I hear that his entire family was executed?" Bei Yanming remained calm.
He thought he hadn't revealed anything, but he didn't know that with the tacit understanding between Su Bei and Chu Younan, Chu Younan had already set her eyes on him after just looking at him.
It turns out that Mo Gai Shi not only has connections with Miaojiang, but also has a close relationship with the North. One of the important reasons why Bei Yanming came to Wu Country this time was that Mo Gai Shi promised him that if he could work together to capture the capital, he would divide Wu Country with him and they would each be kings in the future.
I have to say that Mo Gaishi is really an old fox. He has tricked people from Miaojiang and the North into coming here.
Bei Yanming thought he was doing it without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that Chu Younan had clearly read his intention to join forces with Mo Gaishi first.
Su Bei sighed, "His entire family was executed, but who knew he would escape. I heard that Liuying came to Beijing this time just to cooperate with him to take down the Wu Kingdom."
Bei Yanming remained calm, but his heart was tense.
If Miao Jiang joins forces with Mo Gai Shi first, he will be at a disadvantage. If Mo Gai Shi and Liu Ying join forces again, his precarious Northland will be destroyed.
He stood up hurriedly and said, "I'm done eating. I'll leave first."
"Eat a few more before you leave!" Su Bei said, holding up the skewers.
But Bei Yanming left without looking back.
About a quarter of an hour later, a carrier pigeon flew across the sky. Chu Younan jumped into the air and grabbed it.
There was also a note tied to the pigeon's foot, which read, "The Emperor and the Regent of Ukraine are under my control. Please send 300,000 troops to help."
Ha! Judging from the flight direction of the two pigeons, Mo Gai Shi should be close to Miaojiang. How can his conspiracy succeed? Then Chu Younan's "Chu" must be written upside down!
When the carrier pigeon took off again, the note on its foot had been replaced, but Bei Yanming had no idea.
Mo Gaishi had been waiting for the carrier pigeon for half a month, and he was rubbing his hands in anticipation, waiting for this moment.
The letter said: "Keep your troops still, sneak in in batches, lie in ambush outside the capital, and wait for news at any time."
The handwriting looked like Bei Yanming's, so Mo Gai Shi didn't suspect anything.
He was about to collapse. Although the actual number of people was not 300,000, more than 100,000 people were dependent on him for their livelihood, and Mo Liao was late in returning, so he could no longer afford to pay for their food expenses.
It is better to sneak in in batches. This way they can find food for themselves, and they only need to be promised 20 taels of silver per person when they reach the outskirts of the capital.
Mo Gaishi asked someone to exchange the last silver note for a silver ingot, and then took it to the temporary military camp.
Two hundred taels of silver could only be exchanged for twenty silver ingots, but they looked like a lot when placed on the tray. When the temporary soldiers, who were hungry and famished, saw them, their eyes lit up.
Mo Gaishi began to deceive, "This little bit of silver is nothing. I have a cellar in the capital, which is full of gold ingots..."
Everyone is ready to go.
"But Chu Yan confiscated my Mo family and wiped out the family just for my treasures..."
Everyone's eyes darkened.
Mo Gaishi continued, "But how could he possibly find the things I, Mo Gaishi, hid? The people I sent earlier have already found the cellar where I hid my treasures, and all the treasures are there!"
Cheers broke out everywhere.
Mo Gaishi enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. "Don't worry, everyone. I, Mo Gaishi, have always been a righteous man. Chu Yan was so cruel to my Mo family. I must make them receive the punishment they deserve!"
The ragtag army was all in an uproar.
Although they were all honest farmers, they had listened to many stories during the time they were summoned by Mo Gaishi.
For example, how Chu Yan bullied the Mo family, how pitiful and miserable the Mo family was, and the stories of how the dynasties overthrew brutal rule, as well as the stories of ordinary soldiers who accidentally made great military achievements and their entire family rose to prominence...
They had never been to school and it was impossible for them to rely on the imperial examinations, so this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing completely met their expectations for a better life.
So, they formed teams of five and set off towards the capital.
In the Regent's Palace, Liuying was extremely anxious.
She tried to see the regent and also tried to escape, but she failed. She was not good at martial arts, her strength was the use of Gu.
However, Xiao Han had already set up a tight net outside this yard. As soon as you step out of the door, the sleeping insect will immediately target you.
For example, Liuying's maid was forced out of the yard by Liuying, and now Liuying is the only one left in the whole yard.
Her Gu was very powerful, but in just a few days, she turned into a three-year-old child, unable to take care of herself with eating and dressing, let alone fighting with others.
Looking back on the years when I was a saint, although I couldn’t go out and my whole life was just about refining poison, it was still a thousand times better than it is now.
She felt a little regretful.
When Su Bei and Chu Younan came, Liuying had regressed one year, and was probably less than two years old.
She couldn't even speak clearly, let alone put on a curse. She even couldn't help crying when she thought about her miserable life.
"Tsk tsk tsk, he looks so pitiful. Isn't it not appropriate for us to leave such a young child here alone?" Su Bei looked regretful.
It was all because she was already a mother. Seeing Liuying's face full of black marks from crying and her body covered in vegetable soup and rice grains, she felt a little bit sorry for her.
But Chu Younan curled his lips and said, "Send someone to take care of her? Aren't you afraid that she will be cursed?"
"That's true." Liuying's life is a life, but so are the lives of the servants in the palace. Why should the people in the palace be sacrificed? When Liuying heard this, she cried even harder, like a willful child.
Su Bei couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he turned around and walked out.
She hated to see children cry. She felt like her heart was being torn apart when she saw them cry.
I can only avoid it and pretend I didn't see or hear it.
Liuying has become like this, basically there is no danger anymore. Su Bei then went to the Biluo Temple with peace of mind.
Poor Mu Hui has been living in the nunnery for half a month. I really don’t know if she has shaved her hair. You know, Ling Ziyou loves her very much. She has had a hard time swallowing food for the past half month.
Biluo Temple is near the imperial palace. The environment is quite quiet and peaceful. The nuns in the temple look very kind and not overbearing at all.
Su Bei thought about Mu Hui suffering here, but she didn't expect that Mu Hui was actually angry with her and refused to see her.
Is it easy to pick her up with a big belly?
Su Bei really wanted to slap her twice.
But when she was walking towards the backyard, holding her waist, she saw a person coming out of the moon gate in front of her.
Although he was wearing monk's robes and had no makeup on his face, his noble demeanor could not be concealed.
"Who is this person?"
"This is Master Ci Xin, the best practitioner in our nunnery!" The little nun looked at Master Ci Xin with eyes full of longing and envy.
