123 123 Confrontation
◎Don't be afraid! Hesitation will lead to failure!◎
It was the dead of night, dark and windy. Although Mo Yu lived in the palace, he had no one to serve him and slept alone on the couch.
It was not that Master Kang intended to treat him badly, because this arrangement was exactly what Mo Yu asked for, which was a bit like "luring someone into a trap".
As the saying goes, "there are only thieves who have been around for a thousand years, but there are no thieves who have been guarding against them for a thousand years." Rather than being on guard every day against someone who might come to assassinate him, it is better to "get rid of the problem once and for all" and lure the snake out of its hole and catch it all in one fell swoop.
Although theoretically, this statement is correct, but considering Mo Yu's age, this method is still a bit too risky.
Originally, Master Kang and the others did not agree, mainly because they were worried that swords and knives have no eyes, what if he got into danger.
Especially the Thirteenth Prince, who was furious when he heard that it was Mo Yu who came up with this "plan".
Last time in the enclosure, the Thirteenth Prince "heroically saved Yu" and injured his arm because he was too protective of Mo Yu and was afraid that he would fall and hurt himself. Now his arm is still in a sling.
Now he heard that Mo Yu actually wanted to use him as "bait", and he was furious.
"Lin Moyu! I risked my life to break my arm to save your life, and you are still showing off here... You are playing 'entering the trap' here, be careful or you will lose your life."
Mo Yu didn't expect that he was such a weak and helpless little boy in everyone's mind. He was a little embarrassed and moved. He persuaded the Thirteenth Prince to believe that this matter was foolproof.
He would not tell them that his useless golden finger system finally worked this time and suddenly told him that a hidden plot line was triggered...
The people who listened to Mo Yu's thoughts looked at each other in bewilderment: OK, so we are the part of some strange Prey again, right?
They immediately said that it was okay, they didn't care.
Although Mo Yu was somewhat surprised as to why the people who had greeted him so warmly just now suddenly left with cold faces, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he was still looking forward to the hidden plot or something - but there wasn't any.
Let's finish this plot quickly, it's really too embarrassing, please!
I didn't expect that the more I feared something, the more I would encounter it.
After he made this "luring the snake out of its hole" plan, no one visited for several days, making Mo Yu feel that his "brilliant plan" was in vain.
So this time someone really came to assassinate him, which made Mo Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and felt that the stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Because of "adequate preparation", no one came to rescue Mo Yu. But he was not afraid, instead he watched the man's performance quietly with his eyes closed, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Although he hadn't seen what this man looked like yet, Mo Yu always felt that this man was different from the one who shot an arrow at him last time when he was hunting in the enclosure. He
just didn't know if it was the same person behind the scenes as the last time.
He secretly held his breath and looked outside through the thin bed curtains, but saw that the man was thin and undersized, and actually looked like a half-grown child of twelve or thirteen years old.
Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of boss would hire a half-grown child as a killer?
What a beast.
I just hope that the person who came is not an antisocial personality. But System 006 has been keeping it a secret. When asked who the person is, it refuses to tell me. It also says that it is playing a "blind box" game...
Well, sometimes it is helpless to be a host alone.
Just stay together. What if you can leave...
Mo Yu is not interested in this rare "refined interest" of System 006, but to be honest, he is still a little curious.
He doesn't know who the person is. He wants to see how "scary" he is.
He saw that the person came into the room and walked towards the bed with ease. He seemed to be quite skilled in his job and his posture was very upright. At least he was not the child of an ordinary family.
Watching him approaching slowly, Mo Yu's heart started beating wildly, and he finally realized that he was afraid - why is this little boy so murderous at such a young age? Is he really going to get away with it today? No, he is still a baby...
Mo Yu subconsciously held his breath and watched the man's next move, ready to call for help if something went wrong - yes, this was also the signal he and Master Kang agreed on. He just wanted to try it, not to die, so he didn't dare to play such a big game.
After the man approached, he seemed to be looking at Mo Yu carefully, but as soon as he saw Mo Yu's appearance clearly, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was very surprised that the target of the assassination was actually a child like Mo Yu.
A moment later, something even more dramatic happened. This guy just turned around and left. He just turned around and left?
No way, brother, aren't you here to assassinate me?
Seeing him really turn around and want to leave, Mo Yu sighed and decided not to pretend anymore.
"I said, this assassin, since you are here, why don't you just chat for a few words and leave?"
The assassin really stopped and tensed up. He must be weighing whether to kill Mo Yu to silence him. Then he seemed to quickly realize that Mo Yu was still awake. His body froze. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to attack or continue to retreat.
As the saying goes, "If you hesitate, you will lose." At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Mo Yu whispered, "Hide in the closet over there first."
The man was startled, as if he didn't believe that Mo Yu was so kind, but the situation was critical, and he couldn't think about it carefully, so he could only hide for the time being.
The patrol guards who had been arranged to patrol the room gently pushed the door in to check, and left after finding nothing unusual. Mo Yu listened to their footsteps going away, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "They're gone, you come out."
This time, the assassin came out happily.
Not only did he come out, but he also sat down at the eight-immortal table in front of Mo Yu's bed.
He even poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, he smiled and said,
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."
The voice sounded very young, clear and melodious like spring water, and it was the voice of a twelve or thirteen-year-old who hadn't changed his voice yet.
Mo Yu also sat up from the bed with the quilt wrapped around him, and said with a smile, "Brother, you are so brave, aren't you afraid that I will call someone in to arrest you?"
The man smiled and said, "If you really wanted to catch me, you wouldn't have told me to dodge just now."
The two smiled at each other, and there was a bit of "no fight, no acquaintance" in the meaning - well, there was no fight at all, it was just a fake shot.
Since the topic has been opened, Mo Yu simply chatted with this young man.
This man spoke very clearly. He said that his surname was Liu, he was the second child, and he was called Liu Erlang. He had no parents and was hanging around outside. Today, he was asked by a friend to do something for his master. The
more Mo Yu listened, the more familiar this character sounded. When he said his name was "Liu Erlang", the case was finally solved.
[Emma, isn't this Liu Xianglian! It's said that System 006 is always keeping us in suspense! It turns out to be you! 】
The assassin brother Liu Xianglian was surprised when he heard Mo Yu's inner voice. He subconsciously wanted to ask back, "Do you know me?" But he
didn't know why he couldn't make any sound.
When he was wondering what was going on, Mo Yu started to speak again.
【In fact, you, Brother Liu, are the most well-known masters in the whole world of Red Mansions. Oh, I should say that you are second only to my cheap father Lin Ruhai. You follow the path of "admitting mistakes is the best way to improve", which can be regarded as a deeply affectionate character. 】
【Actually, it's a pity that you and Third Sister You are married. Although she is regarded as "morally deficient" in your world, she is also a very affectionate and beautiful woman. Of course, you should choose to forgive her. 】
【And this so-called "moral deficient" is really not a big deal for us. She later fell in love with you. I heard that her cheap brother-in-law said he wanted to match you two together. She really changed her ways and remained a virgin for you. Just for this reason, you should give her a chance to reform. Such a true-hearted beauty is really rare. 】
【But wait, she and her second sister should not have been "sold" to Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Lian and their brothers by their mother. If you have nowhere to go and wander around, you might as well try your luck in Youjiazhuang. 】
【Not to mention saving the mansion from collapse, at least it can be regarded as saving the dust. If it can also make a happy marriage, it will be a great thing, right? 】
【So, why did you come to the palace to assassinate if you had nothing to do? Is this a simple favor? You are simply stupid, right? 】
"Oh, by the way, that friend, that master, couldn't it be Jiang Yuhan and Prince Zhongshun?"
Mo Yu complained angrily, and then realized belatedly that he was too angry and blurted out the last sentence.
Fortunately, Liu Xianglian didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. After a moment of silence, he admitted it readily.
"Good! How did you know..."
Mo Yu smiled.
"Second brother Liu, if I tell you that I am a god who can know the past and the future, do you believe it?"
Liu Xianglian was silent for a moment again. Just when Mo Yu thought he was going to get angry and say that he was talking nonsense to make fun of him, he suddenly said "I believe it".
Well, it's really unexpected. This Liu Erge is really an honest boy...
After talking about this, I feel that there is nothing to talk about.
Mo Yu silently recalled the plot about Jiang Yuhan and Prince Zhongshun, and found that as expected, when it comes to Jia Baoyu, things will be a little pink...
This group of crooked people are having love and hatred, but they all have a good relationship with Liu Erge.
At least Jiang Yuhan is only twelve or thirteen years old now, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and he can persuade Liu Xianglian to help his master, Prince Zhongshun, assassinate him. Obviously, they have a deep friendship.
Mo Yu was curious and wanted to take a look at Liu Xianglian's appearance. He wanted to know if it was really like what was said in the original novel, making Xue Pan, that big fool, lose his composure on the spot. Unfortunately, Brother Liu covered it up so well that nothing could be seen.
Well, it seems that this is the only way.
The two said goodbye tacitly, and promised to meet again if they were destined to. Then Liu Xianglian left.
He was light and glided into the night like a cat. He really came and went without a trace.
Mo Yu took a look and then lay back on the couch and fell asleep. He had no dreams that night. The next day, before he got up, he heard the sound of the door being slammed. Someone came to settle accounts with him.
