The World is Shocked 96. Treason

Compared to the two armies still in confrontation in Yonglin City, Ye Li and his group seemed to be too relaxed by the Yunlan River. As soon as they left Yonglin City, Feng Zhiyuan took the Black Cloud Cavalry and ran off to who knows where. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao took their attendants and Shen Yang who had just arrived and prepared to return to the capital. Poor Shen, the great doctor, was helpless and could not help.

In ten days, they rode as fast as they could from Chujing to Yongzhou, but before they could even catch their breath, they were told to return to Beijing. Shen Yang pointed at Mo Xiuyao, panting and shaking his fingers, and said angrily, "I owed you Mos in my last life!" Ever since he gave the Phoenix Grass to a certain prince who didn't listen to the doctor's advice,

After that, Doctor Shen's temper became more and more irritable.

"Mr. Shen." The group set up camp by the Yunlan River. Mo Xiuyao took Yun Ting and others to hunt. Ye Li finally had time to talk to Shen Yang. Shen Yang was sitting by the river holding a medical book that was thick enough to kill someone. He was reading and pondering carefully while frowning. He turned around and looked at Ye Li when he heard her. He wanted to stand up and greet her. Ye Li

Ye Li waved her hand and said, "There is no outsider here, Mr. Shen, there is no need to do this." Shen Yang did not hesitate to sit back and put the medical book aside and said with a smile, "The princess acted decisively to defend Yonglin this time, which made the Black Cloud Cavalry very impressed. I also admire her very much. The princess is worthy of being a heroine at that time." Ye Li shook her head.

She smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Shen, why do you have to be so polite? The so-called contemporary female hero is just forced by the situation. Sir, you should know what Ye Li is doing?"

Shen Yang looked at Ye Li for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Bringing back that harmful Phoenix Grass, I really don't know whether it is right or wrong."

Ye Li shook her head and said softly, "It was the prince's idea to take the Phoenix Grass. Mr. Shen has already told the prince the consequences. It was the prince's choice anyway. Besides, since it has already happened, it is useless to pursue the responsibility now. Ye Li just wants to know how the prince is doing now? Is there any way to

Solved?" Shen Yang looked at Ye Li with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said seriously: "In the past six months, I have carefully studied Phoenix Grass and read many ancient medical books. Phoenix Grass is not unique to the East China Sea. Phoenix Grass is also called Phoenix Tail. It also grew in the Central Plains in ancient times. Ancient books record that this medicine is extremely strong and poisonous. But it is the same as

It is the nemesis of most poisons in the world. It even has the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow, so it is called a miracle medicine. But for some reason, the Central Plains no longer saw any trace of this Phoenix Grass, so there is almost no record of it in the current medical science. The cold poison that the prince was infected with happened to be the most yin and cold poison in the world. Although Phoenix Tail can counteract it,

But it is not enough to remove the toxicity. In this way, the two poisons of fire and cold exist in the prince's body at the same time. Now it can only be said that a temporary balance has been reached. However, this balance is extremely dangerous and may even collapse at any time. At that time, even the Fiery Lotus Seed will be of no use. "

Ye Li nodded, "Mr. Shen once said that the two poisons would change in the prince's body."

Shen Yang said, "That's right. If the cold poison and phoenix tail can cancel each other out, there are other ways to deal with it. But now the two poisons in the prince's body are acting independently. The cold is getting colder, and the fire is getting hotter. If ordinary people eat the Fiery Lotus Seed by mistake, it will burn their internal organs to ashes in a short time. If the Fiery Lotus Seed is combined with the phoenix tail, I'm afraid... the cold poison

Before the problem was solved, the prince died of fire poison."

Ye Li frowned, "Mr. Shen, is the Blue Sky Grass useful to the prince?"

Shen Yang was startled, and then he began to think again. After a long while, he said, "The Blue Sky Grass and the Phoenix Grass are both long-lost miraculous medicines. Legend has it that they can revive the dead and prolong life. But... I am not sure if they can cure the poison in the prince. After all, the Blue Sky Grass has been extinct for a longer time than the Phoenix Grass.

I have only heard my ancestors mention it occasionally." Ye Li nodded and said, "I understand, but it is always good to have more hope." Shen Yang asked curiously, "Could it be that the princess knows where the blue grass is?" Ye Li nodded slightly, "I will find it as soon as possible. Mr. Shen, please don't mention this to the prince for now." Want to get it from the sick scholar

If you want to get the Blue Sky Grass, you must not use anyone from the palace. Given the hatred that the sick scholar has for Mo Xiuyao, I'm afraid he would rather not destroy the Blue Sky Grass himself than let anyone from Ding Wangfu get it. "How long can the prince's body hold on?"

Shen Yang lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "As long as nothing unexpected happens, there won't be any problems within a year or so. Moreover, the effect of Phoenix Grass in clearing the meridians and washing the marrow is not a continuation of the tradition. Your health is indeed much better now than before. But... every month when the moon is full, the cold and fire will mix together, and it must be painful. In summer and autumn, the fire poison will burn the body, and in spring and winter, the cold poison will attack the heart.

Whether it is cold poison or fire poison, it is destined to be ten times more painful than the previous cold poison attack." Ye Li thought of the scene she saw when she stepped into the room that day, and couldn't imagine how much pain it would take to make someone like Mo Xiuyao so ferocious.

"Painkillers...?"

Shen Yang shook his head sadly and said, "The painkillers are completely ineffective. Not only that... I'm afraid that any painkillers or even drugs will be ineffective against you in the future."

Ye Li felt a chill in her heart, this meant that even if Mo Xiuyao was injured in the future, he would not be able to use painkillers or anesthetics.

"Ali..." Ye Li turned around and saw the man in white walking towards her with a smile. She lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes and walked towards him. Mo Xiuyao looked at Shen Yang who had picked up the medical codex and was about to continue reading, then smiled at Ye Li, "Ali, what are you talking to Mr. Shen about?" Ye Li smiled, "Ask Mr. Shen something about herbs. Didn't you see several strange herbs when you went to Nanzhao this time? Ask Mr. Shen what they are useful for." Mo Xiuyao smiled, "Ali has a wide range of interests, even interested in medicine?" Ye Li shook her head, "I don't have any talent for medicine, but some knowledge of herbs is indeed necessary." Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li towards the camp, smiling, "I know, I heard that you asked the people around you to memorize the herbal pharmacopoeia and follow the doctor to identify herbs?" Ye Li smiled, "They are just some common herbs. It's not that you can carry medicine with you all the time, right?"

"Ali is right. Maybe we can let Heiyunqi learn from them as well." Mo Xiuyao thought.

Ye Li smiled and said, "The Black Cloud Cavalry is different from them. They only need a certain number of doctors to accompany them or some of them must be doctors themselves."

Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyebrows and looked at Ye Li and said, "Ah Li, do you have any special ideas that you don't want to tell me?"

Ye Li shook her head. "No, it's just a prototype. When I finish it, maybe I can give you a surprise."

Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "Then I will wait for Ah Li's surprise. Let's go have dinner, and then we will go to see a play together."

The play that Mo Xiuyao described was indeed a good play. There were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses hidden in Yongzhou and Yongzhou. Ye Li finally knew what Feng Zhiyao had done with the 20,000 Black Cloud Cavalry. Overnight, many mountain strongholds in Yongzhou and Yongzhou were destroyed. Countless people who pretended to be bandits but were obviously well-trained were killed by the Black Cloud Cavalry. The rest fled to the border between Yongzhou and Xiling. Mo Xiuyao waited at the border with Ye Li and others. When a group of delighted remnants of soldiers and generals saw the iron cavalry, they couldn't help but reveal a look of despair in their eyes.

Yongzhou officials, both big and small, knelt on the ground with pale faces, looking at the pair of people sitting side by side in front of them with fear. The man was gentle and elegant, and the woman was beautiful and graceful, but the eyes of them were more terrifying than the demons that devoured people. Two days ago, they were invited to the presence of King Ding with a token, but King Ding said nothing and just took them. Wherever King Ding went, they went there. They watched helplessly as the strongholds, some visible and some hidden, were destroyed by the Black Cloud Cavalry. More than 20,000 people seemed like ants, not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Black Cloud Cavalry. These remnants of soldiers and generals in front of them were the last few who escaped the net, but they were still blocked by King Ding on this small hillside less than five miles away from the border.

Mo Xiuyao calmly looked at the Yongzhou governor who was kneeling closest to him, and asked calmly, "Sir, do you know why the Yongzhou governor died?"

The Yongzhou governor's face turned pale, and he trembled and said, "Treason... treason!" The Yongzhou governor was killed by the secret guards of the Dingguo Palace even though he was protected by the Li Wang's army. This matter had spread all over the world before today. It also made many officials tense up. Mo Xiuyao smiled lightly and said, "Treason? Yes, it is indeed a capital crime. Then... do you know what treason is?"

"This... Your Majesty! Your Majesty... I dare not do that. I am loyal to the Great Chu..."

"What a loyal man!" Mo Xiuyao sneered, "Loyal man, where did these tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou come from? Why did General Wu Chengliang and the 20,000 Yongzhou garrison troops die?"

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant really doesn't know..." the Yongzhou governor cried, "Your humble servant is innocent, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "Whether you are wronged or not is not my business. You can talk to the emperor yourself. I invited you here today to let you see the Black Cloud Cavalry pay tribute to the Yongzhou garrison and General Wu. Although the civil officials and military generals have no subordinates, they are colleagues after all. Everyone present should send them off." Feng Zhiyuan, who was standing behind Mo Xiuyao, waved his hand, "Kill!"

Tens of thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the trapped Xiling remnants fell to the ground and died in a moment. The officials kneeling on the ground smelled the pungent smell of blood in the air, and vomited one after another. Mo Xiuyao seemed not to see it, pulled Ye Li up, turned around and ordered: "Send the adults back to their respective homes, and throw these Xiling people to the border, don't pollute the land of my Great Chu."

"Yes, sir."

Mo Xiuyao nodded with satisfaction, turned around and smiled at Ye Li, "Ah Li, it's time for us to return to Beijing."

Ye Li nodded calmly and followed Mo Xiuyao. It seemed unnecessary to say that they would not kill or capture prisoners...

Although he received the emperor's urgent order to return to the capital, it was clear that Mo Xiuyao did not take it to heart. Instead, he let Feng Zhiyao ride away with Heiyun, and he led Ye Li and his group to the north leisurely. It took nearly ten days to reach Guangling City. Since there was no purpose for coming to Guangling City for the second time, Ye Li seemed much more relaxed. It was only when Mo Xiuyao took her to the door of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower that she looked back at the man beside her in surprise.

Mo Xiuyao just smiled and said nothing.

In the broad daylight, Qingfeng Mingyue Tower had not yet opened for business. However, there were still people at the door to greet them. Looking at the young man standing at the door with a serious face, Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "Tianyi Pavilion is indeed well-informed. It seems that Han Mingyue's years have not been in vain." The young man's smile was a little stiff, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has ordered me to welcome you and your wife here. Please come in."

After entering Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, the young man led the two of them directly into the backyard. It was the same pavilion where Ye Li had seen Han Mingxi last time. Han Mingxi and Han Mingyue sat opposite each other. Seeing Ye Li, Han Mingxi's eyes flashed with a trace of trance, and then he smiled at her after he came to his senses. Han Mingyue put down the teacup, stood up and greeted her, smiling gently, "Xiu Yao, it's really good to not see you for a long time..."

Before he could finish his words, Mo Xiuyao swung out a powerful palm wind, attacking the handsome man like a tidal wave. Han Mingyue's voice suddenly stopped, and he turned over in a wolfish way to avoid Mo Xiuyao's palm. But the powerful palm wind still made him breathless. He coughed a few times and smiled bitterly: "Xiuyao, you treat me like this after not seeing me for a long time?" Mo Xiuyao snorted lightly, stepped forward and slapped him continuously. Each palm was a real fight, and there was absolutely no intention of joking. Han Mingyue had to put away his smile and deal with it carefully. The two of them started fighting back and forth in the garden.

The fight was in full swing over there. Han Mingxi also stood up and walked to Ye Li's side. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Jun Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you here to see me? Just come and see me. Why did you bring him here?"

Ye Li raised her hand and pointed at the man in white in the garden, indicating that he was the one who was coming.

Han Mingxi glanced sideways, the smile on his face was a little forced after all, "Jun Wei..."

Ye Li said calmly, "Don't worry, the prince won't kill him." If he really wanted Han Mingyue's life, Mo Xiuyao didn't need to do it himself. No matter how powerful Tianyi Pavilion was, could it stop the iron cavalry of Heiyunqi or the secret guards of Dingguo Palace? Han Mingxi smiled bitterly and said, "But Prince Ding didn't intend to show mercy." Mo Xiuyao was in his twenties, and in Feng Zhiyao's eyes, none of the masters who could be compared with him were equals to him. You can imagine the distance between him and Han Mingyue. While the two were talking, Han Mingyue was slapped back to the ground by a palm, and fell not far from the two of them, spitting out a mouthful of blood. With Ye Li's eyes, he could see at a glance that two ribs were broken. Han Mingxi hurried forward to help him up, but Han Mingyue waved her hand to stop him. She looked up at Mo Xiuyao who was walking over and asked, "Xiuyao, are you no longer angry?"

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows lightly, "Do you know why I didn't kill you this time?"

Han Mingyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao said calmly: "Since Ah Li promised Han Mingxi to let you go, I will spare you this time. But you'd better remember that my patience is limited. If you attack Ah Li again... you might as well try to see how far I can go!" Han Mingyue covered her chest and coughed violently, looking at Mo Xiuyao helplessly and said: "Xiuyao, in your eyes... is Ye Li more important than our friendship since childhood?" Mo Xiuyao raised an eyebrow, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, "In your eyes, have you ever thought that our friendship from childhood to adulthood is important?" Han Mingyue was speechless. Yes, he betrayed their friendship first. But... "In my eyes, you will always be my best friend." Han Mingyue said in a deep voice.

Mo Xiuyao snorted and said calmly: "Since you said you are my friend, I promise you... If you fall into my hands again next time, I will not kill you."

Han Mingyue was stunned, but her face changed in the face of Han Mingxi and Ye Li's curiosity and confusion, "Xiu Yao! No! It's none of her business, these things are all my ideas!" After hearing his words, Han Mingxi's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted unhappily and swallowed his words of plea. Anyway, Prince Ding didn't intend to kill him, so he had to torture him until he had no energy to run around anymore! Mo Xiuyao was not interested in whose idea it was, and turned to Han Mingxi and said, "If you want him to live well, keep an eye on him." Han Mingxi said coldly with a sullen face, "Don't bother, Your Majesty!" Mo Xiuyao took Ye Li's hand and turned around to leave. Han Mingyue on the ground said, "Xiuyao, you made a detour to Guangling, didn't you just want to beat me up?"

Mo Xiuyao stopped, looked back at him and said, "By the way, I'll tell you something. If you don't know how to play power games, then make your money well. Don't shoot yourself in the foot and then feel bad later." Watching the two of them leave without looking back, Han Mingyue couldn't help but frown and think about what Mo Xiuyao said. Not knowing how to play power games... He really has no interest in power games, and has never been involved in them, only... His face changed, and Han Mingyue turned around and said to Han Mingxi, "Quick! Let someone check what happened in Xiling!"

Han Mingxi felt the veins on his forehead throbbing violently. Who said Master Mingyue was smart? He is dumber than a donkey, okay? Others will not turn back until they hit the wall, but he still won't turn back even after hitting his head and bleeding! "What the hell! Why should I, a citizen of the Great Chu, care about Xiling's life or death? Come on, bring me the best softening powder! Whoever dares to give him the antidote, I will skin him alive! Now I have seen what beautiful women are. I don't believe that there are no women in the world except that bitch. I will destroy her face tomorrow, and when no one wants her, I will buy her back and give her to you to be your maid!" After saying that, Han Mingxi was too lazy to care about his elder brother who was stuck on the ground and unable to move, and left angrily.

"Han Mingxi, stop right there!" Han Mingyue said sternly.

Han Mingxi paused as he was about to rush out, and turned back with gritted teeth, waiting for his brother who looked 70% like him. In his heart, he wanted to skin and suck the skin off that troublesome person. He had admired this brother since he was a child, but he really couldn't praise his brother's taste in choosing women. Seeing Han Mingxi glaring at him with a cold face, Han Mingyue's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, and his voice slowed down and said: "Mingxi, stop making trouble. Big brother promises not to do anything again. Mo Xiuyao broke two of my ribs, come and help me." Han Mingxi was stunned, looking at Han Mingyue's pale face, and finally stepped forward with a soft heart to help his brother up.

"You! Han Mingyue!" After a moment, Han Mingxi's voice was filled with anger and resentment. Unfortunately, his whole body seemed to be frozen and unable to move. His handsome face was distorted as he stared at the pale man in front of him who was covering his chest. Han Mingyue looked at his brother with guilt in his eyes, "Sorry, Mingxi." Seeing him turn around and leave, Han Mingxi shouted in despair: "Han Mingyue, you idiot, I'm poisoned! You really want Ye Li to kill me!" Han Mingyue turned around and looked at him with a smile, shaking his head and said: "What a silly boy, Mingxi, since you claim to be better at judging people than me, how can you not see that Ye Li will not kill you at all. And he didn't poison you?" Han Mingxi said coldly: "So you have been trying to confirm whether there is poison in my body these days, and now that you are sure, you are leaving again?"

"Don't worry, I won't attack your friends again. Mo Xiuyao... I can't afford to offend him either." Han Mingyue looked at her brother gently, and after thinking for a while, she warned him, "Mingxi, stay away from Ye Li, she is not someone you can mess with." Han Mingxi's face froze, and he said disdainfully, "Do you have the qualifications to say that to me?" Han Mingyue shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you think you are smarter than me? Mingxi, I can compete with everyone in the world, but I have never thought about competing with "Do you know what Xiu Yao is trying to steal?" Han Mingxi sneered, "Yes, you can choose your opponent, but you can't choose a woman. Did that woman take advantage of you and look at you straight in the eye? Even if Jun Wei doesn't like me, at least he will save me, feel guilty for me, and show mercy to you because of me. What have you gained in these years?" The smile on Han Mingyue's face gradually turned into bitterness and helplessness, and finally he had to admit that his brother was right. He could only turn around and leave without saying a word.

After a long time, the young man who had led the way appeared in the garden. "Second Master, the Master has left."

Han Mingxi, whose acupuncture points had just been untied, was very annoyed. "He left, and when did he ever take us seriously?"

The young man bowed his head and said, "The young master said he would never come back. All the banknotes in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and Qianzhuang will be left to the second young master. Tianyi Pavilion...will no longer obey the second young master's orders in the future."

"He had made plans long ago! If Prince Ding hadn't come today, would he have planned to leave quietly? Han Mingyue, you are so cruel!" Han Mingxi gritted his teeth. The young man bowed his head and said nothing. Han Mingxi snorted coldly and said, "You bastard, just wait for me!"

In the best inn in Guangling City, Ye Li and his group booked the best courtyard in the inn for temporary stay.

"Xiu Yao, today you..." Looking at the man who was reading a book beside her, Ye Li frowned slightly and asked hesitantly.

Mo Xiuyao put down the book and smiled, "Ah Li, are you asking me why I went out of my way to look for Han Mingyue?"

Ye Li nodded. If she just wanted to beat him up to vent her anger, it would be too much trouble. Mo Xiuyao said calmly, "If it goes as I expected, Han Mingyue will go to Xiling soon."

"Going to Xiling?"

Mo Xiuyao nodded, "Yes, rather than letting him go quietly, I will send him off. Although the Han family is not ranked at the top in Da Chu, it is at least in the top ten. If he takes everything to Xiling, it will not be a good thing." Ye Li's eyes flashed, "You mean Han Mingyue wants to..." The word "treason" was not said, but Mo Xiuyao nodded lightly, "I know Han Mingyue. Family, country and the world are nothing in his eyes. There is no difference in his eyes whether he changes from a Da Chu person to a Xiling person or a Beirong person."

"If that's the case, why not just root it out?" Ye Li was puzzled. Even if Mo Xiuyao really valued his friendship with Han Mingyue, he would never consider him more important than the country of Da Chu. Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "Tianyi Pavilion is spread across the four countries. Once Han Mingyue is killed, there will be a lot of trouble. If he wants to leave, let him go. I said he is not suitable for political tactics. And since he has openly betrayed the country, there is no need for Tianyi Pavilion to exist in Da Chu anymore." The most important reason for coming to Guangling this time is to wipe out Tianyi Pavilion. The southern part of Da Chu, especially Guangling City, is the base camp of Tianyi Pavilion. How can it be so easy for Han Mingyue to withdraw people and vehicles from under his nose?

"Han Mingxi..." Ye Li asked with frowned eyebrows.

Mo Xiuyao said: "If we change the method, Han Mingxi may indeed follow Han Mingyue, but he can't leave today. If Han Mingxi is really smart, he will come to me."

Ye Li looked at him, "Did you deliberately provoke Han Mingyue so that he would take action in advance and alienate the brothers?"

Mo Xiuyao did not deny it either. He rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "It's a good thing that Han Mingxi stayed. If they all left... the Han family would have to kill everyone." The Han family is not just the Han Mingyue brothers. It is impossible for any big family, main family, branch family, side branch, or clan to take away all the people. Once they are implicated, the scope of the involvement is shocking.

"Will Han Mingyue surrender to the Xiling court?"

"He is not an ordinary citizen. The Han family is rich and powerful, and Tianyi Pavilion has even wider connections. As long as he goes to Xiling, both the Xiling Emperor and the Zhennan King will definitely win him over. Regardless of whether he will be used by them or not, he is already a traitor in the eyes of the royal family." The royal family can't tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes. As long as Han Mingyue goes to Xiling, it is a betrayal. Even if he didn't commit treason, the royal family would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

Ye Li sighed silently. She never understood Han Mingyue. "Han Mingyue... is he doing this for a woman?"

Mo Xiuyao was startled, looked up at Ye Li for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, it was indeed for a woman."

Ye Li frowned, feeling that this woman was of special status, and was a little hesitant whether to continue the topic. Mo Xiuyao looked at her quietly, with a calm and warm smile, "Ali, you can ask anything you want to know."

"Is this woman...someone you know?"

Mo Xiuyao nodded and was about to speak when An San came in from outside the door and reported, "My Lord, Princess. Young Master Han wants to see you."

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Ye Li apologetically and said, "Please ask him to come in."

－－－－－－－A side note－－－－－－－

Han Mingyue is a bit strange~ How should I put it? He has no ambitions. If he meets a good woman, he will definitely be the best husband, best friend, and best brother. But he happened to meet a bad woman. Besides his brother, the two most important people to him, his sweetheart and his best friend Mo Xiuyao, have exactly the opposite stance. So... should he stick his neck out for his brother or stick his neck out for the woman? It became his choice... So... Young Master Mingyue is actually the unlucky cannon fodder.
