"Quickly! Summon the imperial physician!"
Listening intently to the shouts coming from the General's Mansion, the group hiding in the alley breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cough cough..." Li Hao's face suddenly changed, turning deathly pale, and he coughed uncontrollably as his blood and qi surged.
"Young Master Li, are you alright?" Xiao Lü asked with a worried expression.
Li Hao waved his hand and hurriedly said, "I, I'm fine, little green girl."
Mo Chen looked at Li Hao, frowned, and said in a low voice, "They're bound to find us here. It's better to go back quickly."
“Why don’t you two come back to the Xianzhe Restaurant with me? Even General Yang Wei wouldn’t dare to act recklessly there,” Xiao Lü suggested.
Mo Chen shook his head. "No, we have other things to do, so we won't travel with you. It's getting late, Miss Xiao Lü, you should go back and rest."
Hearing that Mo Chen had refused her, Xiao Lü didn't press the matter further. She nodded and looked at Li Hao with concern, saying, "Alright then, you two be careful. Young Master Li, you should also be careful of Yang Qi. If he finds out where you are, he will definitely retaliate against you."
Li Hao nodded. "Don't worry, with Brother Mo Chen here, everything will be fine."
Xiao Lü nodded and looked at Mo Chen, "Brother Mo Chen, please be extra careful when you enter the palace for the competition tomorrow."
Mo Chen frowned slightly and nodded. "Okay, be careful on your way back."
After saying that, Mo Chen grabbed Li Hao and they soared into the air, disappearing into the night.
Xiao Lü watched the two of them leave in shock. "If the Mighty Dragon Kingdom truly has a powerful figure like Young Master Mo Chen protecting it, it will surely last for thousands of generations and unify the world..."
Mo Chen left in a hurry, but stopped not far away. Li Hao was pale and coughing up blood continuously.
"I didn't expect that guy to still manage to hurt you. Are you alright?" Mo Chen asked calmly.
Li Hao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but he still couldn't stop coughing. His chest hurt terribly, and he had some difficulty breathing.
"Come on, I'll take you to find Gu Liyan." Seeing that Li Hao's breathing was disordered, Mo Chen grabbed Li Hao and leaped up, disappearing into the night.
—Gu Liyan was feigning illness and lying in bed, just as she was thinking about how to sneak out unnoticed, when Mo Chen pushed open the window and entered!
With a creak, Mo Chen jumped in through the window and called out "Gu Liyan" to Gu Liyan, as if afraid that Gu Liyan hadn't heard him.
Gu Liyan said irritably, "Even if I'm blind, I'm not deaf. What are you yelling for!"
Mo Chen glanced at Gu Liyan, then pursed his lips and said, "Who knows why you were secretly faking illness?"
Gu Liyan shook his head with a wry smile, never expecting that Mo Chen would see through his feigned illness so easily.
Sitting up in bed, he removed the gauze from his eyes and asked, "Weren't you and my senior brother supposed to go to the Samurai Kingdom to gather intelligence? Why did you sneak back? Where's my senior brother? Didn't he come back with you?"
"Don't even mention it! When we arrived in the Samurai Kingdom, we found that the people there were a bunch of lunatics!" Mo Chen waved his hand dismissively.
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with surprise. "Oh? What's going on?"
Mo Chen recounted everything he had seen and heard in the Warrior Kingdom to Gu Liyan. Gu Liyan frowned. "The Bull Demon's bloodline is indeed peculiar; it must be the bloodline of some descendant. As for the Red Dust Wine you mentioned, I have tasted it before. It is indeed brewed from the spiritual blood of the Dragon and Tiger. Because I once received a favor from the Dragon and Tiger, I was unaffected. However, according to what you said, if they really use Red Dust Wine to raise the next generation, I'm afraid it would be against the natural order."
"Hmm, that's not all! Shangguan Honghuo also mentioned Qingge. As for what Qingge actually did, I don't believe him. That guy is just a hypocrite!" Mo Chen felt angry just thinking about Shangguan Honghuo's confident expression.
Gu Liyan thought for a moment and then said, "So, can I assume that the Warrior Kingdom initially declared itself a kingdom with the intention of one day unifying the world under their leadership?"
“Yes, Shangguan Honghuo has already revealed his ambition. I was worried that no one in Weilong Kingdom could stand against him, so I turned against him on the spot. Mo Han also saw through my intention to turn against him, and was also worried that they might have some backup plans, so he agreed to their alliance first, and then secretly sent me back first.” Mo Chen said.
“Well, now that our senior brother has become our informant, we can rest assured and don’t need to worry about anything else.” Gu Liyan thought for a moment and nodded.
Suddenly, Mo Chen slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, I ran into that kid Li Hao on my way back. We rescued a girl named Xiao Lü. She's injured now, so I left her at the inn for the time being. Should we tell Li Erniang to check on her when she has time?" Mo Chen asked.
Gu Liyan waved his hand, his face solemn. "Let's forget it. I feel that Li Erniang has been acting strangely lately. No, I should say that Li Jin makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Mo Chen smiled slightly, thinking that Gu Liyan must have noticed something, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked curiously, "What makes you say that?"
“At first I couldn’t see, but once I could, I noticed that Li Erniang’s gaze towards Li Jin was too gentle. Later, while I was pretending to be sick, Li Erniang came to me and asked me to help her with Li Jin. Then I started to suspect that Li Jin had some kind of relationship with her…”
"What can we do? Do you know? That kid Li Hao is obsessed with getting Li Erniang home right now, and he looks so depressed..." Mo Chen said.
“How about this, I’ll go and heal his wounds first, then leave a note telling him that it was Li Erniang who healed him, and let him go back to recuperate. That way, he’ll have something to look forward to.” Gu Liyan thought for a moment and said, “Most importantly, you’ll accompany me to the palace first thing tomorrow morning. I plan to take my senior brother’s place in the competition.”
