420. Crazy Plan

Mo Suiyun, who was taken back to the inn by Mo Jingyu, naturally didn't know what the little brats said about him, and he didn't have the heart to think about it. As a newly enthroned little emperor who was not much better than a puppet at present, he was naturally advised and scolded by Mo Jingyu after returning. Therefore, Mo Suiyun also understood that before he could grasp the real power, he had no right to worry about Mo Xiaobao. Even if he didn't like the heartless young master of Dingwang Mansion and his few friends, he didn't care about them, unless he could grasp the real power of Da Chu, he didn't have the qualifications to compete with the young master of Dingwang Mansion. Therefore, Mo Suiyun soon put down today's affairs and focused all his attention on dealing with Mo Jingyu and the ministers of Da Chu.

At this time, the little emperor Mo Suiyun did not think that he, who was tricked out by the heartless Mo Xiaobao, whom he looked down upon, with just a few words, might be even more heartless than someone else, so that he suffered countless losses at the hands of that person later.

In the wine shop, Mo Xiaobao and his friends sent away Mo Suiyun, an outsider, and Feng Zhiyao, a man suspected of being a spy for Prince Ding, and then they closed the door and started to discuss. Mo Xiaobao held his chin and looked at Qin Lie and asked, "Father seems to be very optimistic about Mo Suiyun. Qin Lie, do you think Mo Suiyun will win in the end or will he be unlucky like Mo Suyun?"

Qin Lie thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Mo Suiyun is definitely more courageous and scheming than Mo Suiyun. I just don't know if Mo Jingyu has ambitions."

Leng Junhan lay on the couch and said lazily, "Isn't there still an old witch in Da Chu? She must be helping her grandson. Apart from Mo Suiyun, Da Chu should not have many princes, right? We can't just switch them around."

"The Empress Dowager of the Great Chu is also very old." Xu Zhirui said seriously with a cold face.

Mo Xiaobao blinked his eyes and said faintly, "So... Mo Suiyun still has a lot of advantages?"

"As long as he is not a fool. But... he seems a little silly." Leng Junhan said with some concern. In his opinion, anyone who can be fooled by Mo Xiaobao is stupid. People like Mo Xiaobao can't even trust his expression.

Mo Xiaobao rolled his eyes and said, "Then let's remind him. We are good friends."

"Whatever." Leng Junhan and Xu Zhirui didn't care. Leng Junhan continued to rub his belly, while Xu Zhirui sat aside and read a book with great interest. Qin Lie glanced at the three children who were several years younger than him. When he first met these guys, he felt that he was indeed a good person. After getting along with them for a while, he doubted whether he would still be a good person in the future.

In the other room, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao sat leisurely and listened to the children next door discussing their plans. Feng Zhiyao, Leng Haoyu and others sat on the side, looking at Mo Xiuyao with a smile on their faces. When they finished their discussion, they heard the footsteps of the children leaving outside. Feng Zhiyao couldn't help laughing, and shook his head in pain, saying, "What evil has this world done to give birth to so many evildoers?"

These kids are only a few years old, but they are already thinking about how to plot against the emperor of another country. Even when they were this age, they were still fighting and playing truant from school. What will happen in a few years?

Leng Haoyu sighed helplessly, "It's true that people get corrupted by being around people who are good at keeping company with others. Our Junhan has been corrupted." Thinking back to when his precious son was a cute little kid, of course his son is still cute now, but...his personality is a little twisted. It's definitely true that people get corrupted by being around people who are bad at keeping company with others. Leng Haoyu felt a little guilty. It was because he didn't have time to take care of his son that he let him get too close to Mo Xiaobao from Prince Ding's Mansion. It's true that people get corrupted by being around "bad" people!

"You make it sound like your son is innocent." Mo Xiuyao glanced at Leng Haoyu lazily. Mo Xiaobao looked mean, but the kid from the Leng family was just a silly person, plotting to kill people without mercy.

Feng Zhiyao asked curiously, "Looking at what Mo Xiaobao means, he wants to help the little emperor of Da Chu. Is that okay?" You know, the little emperor is no pushover. At such a young age, he already knows how to sow discord, and he hits the mark. Although he is a little immature and has not deceived Mo Xiaobao, you have to know that the little emperor has only been on the throne for less than two months. Before that, he was left alone without anyone to discipline him. From this perspective, as long as someone gives him some guidance, the little emperor's future achievements will be limitless.

Mo Xiu Yao said nonchalantly: "What kind of problem can there be? Even if there is a problem, it is his problem. Can I kill all the threatening people for him?" He is not a father who is used to children.

You can really rest assured. Feng Zhiyao and Leng Haoyu looked at each other and looked at Ye Li with disapproval. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "If the little emperor wants to control the real power of Da Chu, even if he has unique qualifications, it will take at least ten years. There is no need to worry now."

Rather than spending ten years letting Mo Jingyu or any other adult take control of the power, it is better to give the little emperor ten years to fight for power. Ten years later, both Mo Xiaobao and the entire Dingwang Mansion should have recovered from the two-year war. By that time, Mo Suiyun might not be able to truly control the real power of Da Chu 100%. To put it bluntly, Mo Xiaobao had no intention of helping Mo Suiyun, but just didn't want Mo Suiyun to die so soon. It must be said that in some ways, Mo Xiaobao has already begun to take on the shape of his father.

"Children nowadays are really amazing." Feng Zhiyao sighed. Or are the children of Prince Ding's Mansion particularly abnormal?

"Prince, Princess." Yao Ji asked for a meeting at the door.

Since returning to Licheng, Yao Ji returned to the restaurant she had run for several years and lived a peaceful life. However, she occasionally collected some information and gave it to Prince Ding's Mansion. Overall, she lived a dull life.

"It seems that Prince Yu has secretly sent someone to contact Prince Changxing." Yao Ji reported in a low voice.

Mo Xiuyao waved his hands and said, "As expected, what is the attitude of the King of Changxing?"

Yao Ji said, "Prince Changxing did not see the people sent by Prince Yu. He probably did not want to have too much to do with them." Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "The siblings are not stupid. As long as they do not make any unusual moves, we don't need to worry about them."

Leng Haoyu pondered for a moment and said, "I remember... Prince Changxing and Princess Zhenning have a younger brother in Nanjing. Will there be any trouble then?" Even if the Great Chu is now in a safe place in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it will never stay so peaceful. Maybe they will do something with the little prince, so we have to be on guard.

Mo Xiuyao said calmly: "As long as they live peacefully, I will not treat them unfairly. If they do something they shouldn't do, don't blame me for being merciless. Just keep an eye on them."

Yao Ji nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that someone saw Mo Jingli appear in the northwest."

"Mo Jingli?" Everyone was stunned. They were a little surprised to hear this name suddenly. Since Liyang was captured, Mo Jingli has lost his trace. It's not that I didn't think about eradicating him, but at the beginning, Feihong Pass was in danger and I had no time to spare. After that, when the show was pacified, Mo Jingli had long disappeared. In this world, if you really want to hide in such a vast sea of ​​people, it is really not an easy thing to find someone.

Moreover, Mo Jingli had been deposed from the throne, had no troops or power, and his martial arts skills were not that great, so not many people cared about his whereabouts.

"Are you sure?" Mo Xiu Yao asked with a frown.

Yao Ji shook her head and said, "I can't be sure yet."

Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and said, "Reveal this news to Mo Jingyu." Mo Jingyu, who now holds the power of Da Chu, must not want to see Mo Jingli appear again even more than they do, right?

"I obey your command." Yao Ji nodded in response.

In a hidden small village somewhere outside of Licheng, a man wearing coarse clothes and with a bearded face whose features were almost invisible was sitting in a simple room with a distorted expression, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty." A man dressed in ordinary clothes walked in and bowed his head.

The man turned his head and looked at him, and asked coldly: "What's the news in Licheng?"

The man said in a deep voice, "Prince Yu has brought the newly enthroned little emperor Mo Suiyun to Li City. Also arriving at the same time was Xiling's new Zhennan King Lei Tengfeng. Today... the young master of Prince Ding's mansion secretly took Mo Suiyun away, and Mo Jingyu almost overturned this Li City. In the end, the little emperor was found in a restaurant."

The man in plain clothes, Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he sneered: "Mo Jingyu really values ​​this Mo Suiyun! I didn't expect... that he would be the one who stabbed me in the back in the end!" In fact, it was not only Mo Jingyu who stabbed Mo Jingli in the back, but also the Empress Dowager, the ministers and dignitaries in the court, and even the entire Chu royal family. This shows how unpopular Mo Jingli is.

The man hesitated for a moment and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, should we..."

Mo Jingli sneered and said, "No, go and send a message to Mo Jingyu, telling him that I want to see him."

"This... Your Majesty, will this..." They are now considered fugitives, and whether they are caught by Prince Ding's Mansion or the Great Chu court, they will definitely not have a good ending. How can the emperor not worry if he wants to take the initiative to deliver himself to them at this time.

Mo Jingli said in a deep voice: "I know my limits, you go ahead and do it."

After hesitating for a moment, the man nodded and turned to leave.

Mo Jingli stared at the somewhat shabby and dirty table in front of him with a changing expression. If someone had told him two months ago that one day he would be wearing shabby and dirty coarse cloth and living in such a shabby house that could barely keep out the wind and rain, he would have torn that person into pieces. But in the past month or so, Mo Jingli has suffered a lot. In order to avoid the search and arrest by Prince Ding's Mansion and the Great Chu court, he not only disguised himself as an ordinary citizen and ate coarse food, but also disguised himself as a beggar and a vagrant. He suffered a lot and walked through many dangerous roads before he managed to avoid everyone's eyes and ears and sneaked to the vicinity of Licheng. Of course, his purpose was not just to come and take a look.

Although he is in such a state now, Mo Jingli has been a prince for decades and an emperor, so he still has some hidden cards in his hand. It is for this reason that he has the courage to sneak into the northwest and find the Mo family army's base camp, Licheng. But he is not in a hurry to enter the city. Licheng must be heavily guarded now. Although not many people can really recognize him, Mo Jingli has already experienced the power of the Mo family army's secret guards, so he does not want to take risks too hastily.

As for Mo Jingyu... Mo Jingli showed a cold smile. He dared to meet Mo Jingyu openly, so he must have enough chips to protect himself.

In an inconspicuous teahouse somewhere in Licheng, Mo Jingyu pushed open the door of the private room and saw the cloth-clothed man sitting inside. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite courageous." Indeed, he was quite brave. If it were anyone else, he would never dare to sneak into the base camp of the Mo family army.

Mo Jingli snorted, looked Mo Jingyu up and down for a moment, and said sarcastically: "You are in power now. I really didn't expect that in the end... you are the one who took advantage."

Mo Jingyu didn't care, he smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's just a coincidence. What do you want to talk to me about?" Mo Jingyu didn't take Mo Jingli seriously. In the past, he was the powerful King Li, the King of Chu, and now, he is the assistant prince of the Great Chu, while Mo Jingli is just a wolf-like dog hiding from his family. Thinking of this, Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

Mo Jingli said, "Of course there is something. I want you to help me with something."

"Why do you think I will agree?" Mo Jingyu raised his eyebrows.

Mo Jingli looked at him and asked, "So... do you want the jade seal of the Great Chu?"

"As expected, you took the jade seal away!" Mo Jingyu's face darkened and he said in a cold voice. Since Mo Jingli disappeared, the jade seal of the Great Chu has not been found in Nanjing or Liyang. The jade seal symbolizes the supreme imperial power. Although it is not impossible to make another one, the jade seal is lost, which is a huge laughing stock for the Great Chu royal family. If someone uses the jade seal to make trouble in the future, it will be even more troublesome. Therefore, the Great Chu royal family secretly sent people to search for Mo Jingli, one to root out the problem, and the other to find the whereabouts of the jade seal.

Mo Jingli smiled and said, "You don't have to help me. I can also hand over the jade seal to someone else... Of course, I can also give it to some of Prince Yu's little secrets." This someone else is naturally Mo Jingyu's political enemy. For example, since the new emperor ascended the throne, several brothers have gradually wanted to compete with him, or the Empress Dowager. Now that Mo Jingqi is dead, Mo Jingli is living abroad again. The Empress Dowager is old and the young emperor is young, so there are gradually more people with other ideas. If the jade seal falls into the hands of others, it will not be a good thing for Mo Jingyu.

"What do you want me to do?" Mo Jingyu asked in a deep voice.

Mo Jingli said coldly: "I want you to help me...get rid of Mo Suiyun and Mo Yuchen."

"You're crazy!" Mo Jingyu stood up and turned away.

"You really don't consider it?" Mo Jingli's voice came from behind. Mo Jingyu turned around and sneered, "Consider it? Do you think I'm stupid? Killing Mo Yuchen in Licheng? Not to mention killing Mo Yuchen, I'm afraid I'll die if I touch a hair on his body." The jade seal is very attractive, but even if you give him the throne, he has to live to enjoy it.

"You think I can't do it?" Mo Jingli was not nervous. Compared to Mo Jingyu, he really didn't need to be too nervous. He had already lost everything he could lose, and the only thing left was probably his own life. But he, Mo Jingli, couldn't hide and live like this forever. Instead of doing so, it would be better to fight to the death! But Mo Jingyu was different. He had endured for half a lifetime, and now he finally held power. Naturally, he was careful at every step, for fear of making mistakes.

Mo Jingyu smiled coldly, not even bothering to answer the question. As early as after Mo Xiuyao and Da Chu had drawn a clear line between their differences, he had never thought that Mo Jingli or Mo Jingqi could defeat him. Even Mo Jingli, who was once the king of a country, couldn't do it, let alone the Mo Jingli who was hiding from place to place now.

Mo Jingli didn't care about his contempt and said with a smile: "In that case, I can show you my sincerity first. How about Mo Xiaoyun?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Jingyu asked vigilantly.

Mo Jingli said: "Mo Xiaoyun and Zhen Ning lived a very carefree life in Licheng. It's true that they are Mo Jingqi's princes and princesses, but they took refuge in Dingwang Mansion. Even if it's for the sake of people's opinions, Dingwang Mansion will definitely protect them well. What do you think would happen if Mo Xiaoyun and Zhen Ning suddenly died under the protection of Dingwang Mansion?" What's more interesting is that they died on the eve of the first birthday banquet of the young master and princess of Dingwang Mansion. Mo Xiuyao's face must have become very good-looking!

"If you think it's not enough... how about adding a Queen of Nanzhao?" Mo Jingli continued, his eyes flashing with a strange look. Mo Jingyu looked at him calmly and said, "You want to ruin the banquet of Prince Ding's Mansion, what's the point?" Before the banquet of Prince Ding's Mansion, Prince Changxing and Princess Zhenning, who were under the protection of Prince Ding's Mansion, died, which naturally hit the face of Prince Ding's Mansion hard. And if something happened to the Queen of Nanzhao in Licheng, Prince Ding's Mansion would probably give Nanzhao an explanation.

"Meaning? I want to see Mo Xiuyao's expression change, is that okay?" Mo Jingli said with a happy smile.

"You are really crazy." Mo Jingyu said in a deep voice.

Mo Jingli's face turned pale and he said angrily, "That's right! I'm crazy! This is all forced by Mo Xiuyao! Forced by you! You...you traitors! Traitors and thieves!"

Mo Jingyu sneered, looking at Mo Jingli's crazy and twisted expression, and said indifferently: "You speak as if you are loyal to the emperor and love the country? Why do you think the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty unanimously agreed to depose you? Mo Jingli, even if you return to Jiangnan now, you will only be a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats. You killed two previous emperors with the secret medicine of Nanjiang. Who dares to recognize you as the master of such a madman?"

"Empress Dowager!" Mo Jingli gritted his teeth. Only the Empress Dowager knew the truth of these things.

Mo Jingyu smiled and said, "Isn't it? Even your own mother abandoned you, which shows how much of a failure you are. What qualifications do you have to call others traitors? What kind of betrayal is this? At most, we are expelling traitors and supporting the orthodoxy."

Unexpectedly, Mo Jingli did not get angry. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Do you want to help me?"

Mo Jingyu shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Goodbye."

"Three years ago...how did you spend the 300,000 taels of silver from Beirong?" Mo Jingli's voice came from behind him in a sinister voice.

"You!" Mo Jingyu turned around suddenly, staring at Mo Jingli with a sullen face, "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"It doesn't matter if they don't know... Others will keep it to themselves. For example, Uncle Wang or... the other brothers? What do you think?" Mo Jingli said with a cold smile. Mo Jingyu was silent for a long time, and finally walked back and sat down. He stared at Mo Jingli for a long time and said, "How do I know if you are lying to me?"

Mo Jingli smiled and said, "You can try it out. When you return to Nanjing, will you become a rat that everyone wants to kill like me? Tell me, between killing the king and seizing the throne and selling out the country, which one is more hated?"

Mo Jingyu's face was as dark as ink. After a long while, he said, "When did you..."

Mo Jingli snorted and said, "Of course I only found out after we moved the capital to Jiangnan. Otherwise, do you think I could tolerate you? I didn't want to tolerate you at that time, but... the court was already in chaos, and you were obedient, so I kept you. Now it seems... I was right to keep you." If it was someone else who had no handle on him this time, I'm afraid he would sell him to Mo Xiuyao.

Mo Jingli looked at him with a sinister smile, "You can go and tell Mo Xiuyao about this. At worst, we can die together. Anyway, I have nothing else to worry about."

"I need to think about it." Mo Jingyu closed his eyes and said in a deep voice. Obviously struggling fiercely in his heart, Mo Jingli shrugged and made a casual gesture. Mo Jingyu said: "If I help you, how can I get out of this? If it's the same death, I would rather go back to Jiangnan than die in the hands of Mo Xiuyao." He had heard a little about Mo Xiuyao's torture methods, but anyone with a little choice would never be willing to fall into Mo Xiuyao's hands.

Mo Jingli's eyes flashed with a sneer, and he said lightly: "Don't worry, I don't need you to do too much. As long as you handle it well, no one will find out. Then you can naturally return to Jiangnan with the jade seal safely and be your Prince Yu."

Mo Jingyu took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Mo Jingli nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. I will notify you when I am ready. You can go back first." Mo Jingyu stood up and walked towards the door. He stopped at the door and stared at Mo Jingli and said, "You'd better be careful. If something unexpected happens... we will all die together!"

Watching Mo Jingyu's figure disappear at the door, the smile on Mo Jingli's face became even more twisted and sinister.

"Haha... Of course we have to die together! Otherwise, why would I look for you? Unfortunately, you don't know that Mo Xiuyao is not best at torturing people, but... venting anger." Whether it is related to Mo Jingyu or not, whether there is evidence or not, as long as Mo Yichen is in trouble, Mo Xiuyao will definitely vent anger on everyone. Including... the Great Chu royal family far away in Jiangnan. Since you have betrayed me... then let's die together! It's just a pity... It would be even better if I could drag Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li to die together.
