Jiang Zhuojun went back to the room to see Li Luo. Jing Mo put the tiger-head jade pendant in Gu Xinglang's hand and said, "Be careful."<>
Gu Xinglang stuffed the jade pendant into his belt, glanced at Jing Mo, and asked, "Do you really want to meet Mo Wen alone?"
Jing Mo laughed and whispered, "How could that be? I don't want to die young."
Jing Mo's smile was very cunning, somewhat similar to the smile that Young Master Gu had when he was scheming against someone. Gu Xinglang frowned and said, "You lied to Jiang Zhuojun?"
Jing Mo put his arm around Gu Xinglang's shoulders and smiled softly, "I just want Zhuo Jun to feel at ease."
"What?" Gu Xinglang didn't understand what Jing Mo said.
Jing Mo said: "Don't you think Li Luo should do this?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Jing Mo.
Jing Mo said, "It's impossible for us to fight for Li Luo's throne while he, the real owner, does nothing, right?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Mo Wen won't kill Li Luo?"
Jing Mo smiled and said, "Does this have anything to do with you and me?"
Gu Xinglang thought about Jing Mo's words again and again, and said, "Then what are we busy with?" If it weren't for Li Luochenghuang, why would they be so busy? Helping people rebel is not fun at all.
Jing Mo said: "Don't underestimate this Fourth Prince. If he were just a good-for-nothing, he wouldn't have the guts to go against Mo Wen."
Gu Xinglang asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Tell Mo Wen where Li Luo is and mobilize the monks from the White Horse Temple," Jing Mo said, "In Suzaku, only the Long family is supported by Mo Wen. If Li Luo is really the real Long Tian, he can find a way to survive on his own."
"What if he's going to die?" Gu Xinglang asked.
"If he dies, his brothers will sit on the throne of Suzaku," Jing Mo said, "No matter who becomes the emperor, we will benefit. So Qinghui, how important is Li Luo's life and death to us?"
Gu Xinglang was speechless.
"I said I'm not a gentleman," Jing Mo patted Gu Xinglang's shoulder before taking his hand away and laughed softly, "Remember my words, don't be a gentleman to the emperor."
Gu Xinglang looked at Jing Mo. This guy also wanted to be the emperor. So, he wouldn't have to be a monarch in front of this guy in the future?
"But please treat me as an exception," Jing Mo looked at Gu Xinglang and smiled.
Gu Xinglang couldn't handle Jing Mo, who was sometimes friendly to him and sometimes calculating, so he simply said, "I'll go tell the princess."
Only after watching Gu Xinglang leave did Jing Mo put away the smile on his face.
The chief guard came close to Jing Mo and whispered, "Master?"
"Do you know how to go to Prime Minister Ai's mansion?" Jing Mo asked.
The chief guard said, "I know."
"Qinghui and his men will lead their troops into the city in two hours at most," Jing Mo said, "You should go hide near Ai's mansion first. When you hear shouting and killing coming from the Imperial Palace, kill Ai Xiang's entire mansion, leaving no one alive."
"Yes," the captain of the guards replied.
"Remember, no one should be left alive," Jing Mo emphasized to the captain of the guards.
The chief guard nodded in response and couldn't help but ask Jing Mo one more question: "Master, has this Ai Jingzhong ever had a grudge against you?"
Jing Mo smiled and said, "I am the emperor of Zhuri, and he is the prime minister of Suzaku. We may have a national feud, but we don't have a personal grudge."
The chief guard said, "Is it for the Fourth Prince?"
"Ai Jingzhong is a vicious dog that Mo Wen kept in Zhuque," Jing Mo whispered, "Kill the entire clan of this dog, and let the dogs that Mo Wen kept elsewhere know that their master is not as omnipotent as they think, and cannot protect them."
Jing Mo's words were so vicious that the captain guard's hair stood on end.
"Go and get ready," Jing Mo's tone immediately softened again.
The captain of the guards took the order and withdrew.
Jing Mo walked towards the front yard of the inn. He had to see Gu Xinglang and Jiang Zhuojun off at the gate.
Yu Xiaoxiao was sitting in the room eating a bowl of fried rice. Gu Xinglang was standing at the door and could hear the sound of his wife chewing fried rice in the room. The sound was gurgling and crunching, similar to the sound of a hamster gnawing on food.
Hearing this sound, a bloody battle was imminent, but Gu Shao couldn't help laughing. He pushed the door and walked into the house, asking, "What are you eating again?"
Yu Xiaoxiao subconsciously protected the bowl, then stopped the action and reminded herself again, this is not the end of the world, you have traveled through time!
Gu Xinglang walked up to Yu Xiaoxiao, stretched his head to look at the big bowl in his wife's arms, and then thought that this was probably the largest bowl that Nanny Wang could find.
Yu Xiaoxiao grabbed a handful of fried rice and gave it to Gu Xinglang, saying, "Mammy just fried it. It's still hot."
Gu Xinglang sat down and let Yu Xiaoxiao feed him a handful of fried rice.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked: "Is it delicious?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Very good."
Looking at the almost empty fried rice, Yu Xiaoxiao asked with a bit of pain: "Then do you still want to eat?"
"No," Gu Xinglang said, "Why are you sitting in the room alone?"
Yu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "Aunt said she didn't want to see me for the time being, so I came back."
Gu Xinglang said "Oh".
Yu Xiaoxiao asked: "Why doesn't she want to see me?"
Because you scared your aunt half to death. After these words turned around Gu Xinglang's mouth for a few times, he swallowed them back and said, "She just left the Imperial Palace and is not used to it. Give her some time."
Yu Xiaoxiao muttered, "Mammy told me the same thing."
Gu Xinglang touched Yu Xiaoxiao's face and whispered, "Li Xiaoyuan sent someone to look for Jing Mo."
Yu Xiaoxiao's heart sank. This person found out that she had taken a piece of jade and sent someone to ask for it back?
Gu Xinglang said: "He was trapped in the palace by Concubine Long."
"Really?" Yu Xiaoxiao scratched her head. She had just met this person not long ago. Was this person trapped in the palace?
Gu Xinglang said, "I will leave the city to mobilize troops in a moment. Xiaoxiao, you wait for me at the posthouse."
"Mobilize troops?" Yu Xiao: "Did Li Xiaoyuan give you these troops?"
Gu Xinglang nodded.
"Is he going to cooperate with you and Jing Mo again?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang said: "He wants Jing Mo and I to help him clear out the court."
"Clear the emperor's side?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang said: "He wants us to help him kill Long Fei and Ai Jingzhong's gang."
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "He knows about the affair between Long Fei and Ai Jingzhong?"
Gu Xinglang... why is it that when it comes to his wife, such a bloody matter as palace fighting, she just talks about having an affair? (Because apart from this, there is nothing else in her wife's mind ==)
Yu Xiao: "Oh my god, is Concubine Long going to be thrown into the pig cage? Nanny said that women who are unfaithful to their husbands must be treated cruelly like this."
Gu Xinglang fed Yu Xiaoxiao a mouthful of fried rice. Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao eating it sweetly, Gu Shao thought that this was indeed the food that suited his wife.
