Chapter 68 Mo Fei So if you want revenge, it’s against the royal family.
Yin hour.
Outside, dark clouds covered the sun and blew up strong winds.
Two figures quietly approached the house where Mu Xingchen was, and the six gourd brothers hanging on the tree had fallen to the ground at some point.
Zizhu walked towards the person on the bed with a lantern. She saw that the person's face was half covered by the quilt and his breathing was even.
Zizhu pulled back the quilt without hesitation. She narrowed her eyes at the woman on the bed, and the next second she said coldly, "It's not her." After that, she lifted the quilt again.
Li Yan pursed his lips outside the door and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zizhu turned around and sneered: "I'm sure it's definitely not that woman."
Although she had never seen that woman, she knew her very well. There were thousands of portraits of her in Qiansha Pavilion, including some of her sleeping. So she almost concluded at a glance that the woman on the bed was not her.
Li Yan outside the door became increasingly cold.
Zizhu walked out of the house and said coldly, "Don't worry, even if the person in the house is not that woman, I will still give you the news. Could it be that she is in Zuiqinglou now?"
Li Yan's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief: "What did you say!"
Seeing his shocked look, Zizhu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The top performers in Zuiqinglou have always been hers, Qianxun and Qianxun. Ha, you never thought, Prince Yan, she has been guarding against you for several years..." As she spoke, she clapped her hands in admiration, "As expected of the famous General Mo Fei, he has made a fool of you right under your nose. Interesting! Interesting! Hahahahahahaha!!!" The laughter became farther and farther away until it disappeared completely.
Li Yan clenched his fists, making a "crunching" sound.
Mu Xingchen, who was hiding on the rooftop, opened her lips in shock. She must have heard some shocking secret.
Xiao Qi was also shocked and said, "Mo Fei was such a famous figure! When he died, the whole country was in mourning for three days. But!!! In the memories of Mu Qing and the common people, he has always been a man!!!"
Mu Xingchen held her breath. She was truly shocked, from the inside out.
"Xiao Qi, explain in detail." She asked with great curiosity.
Xiao Qi: "Mo Fei is the eldest son of the Mo family, a family of generals. At the age of ten, he was already famous in Xiyao for his extraordinary talent. At the age of fifteen, he directly reached the Sky-Splitting Realm, and at the age of twenty, he reached the Soul-Burning Mirror. It can be said that before he died, his talent was almost overwhelmingly first, and Li Yan could only be second. Even compared to you, he was better than you. But unfortunately, something unfortunate happened."
"So what happened?"
"She went to the military camp for training when she was fifteen. When she was twenty, not long after she broke through to the Soul Burning Realm, she died in a battle with an enemy nation..."
Mu Xingchen frowned: "Died so easily?"
Xiao Qi: "According to Mu Qing's memory, she was defending a city on the border of Nanning. Reinforcements were slow to arrive, and she refused to abandon the city and flee. She held on alone to the end, and so she died in battle... Less than a day after her death, Li Yan arrived with his troops, defeated the enemy, and took their head to avenge her."
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived?"
"It's said that this was discovered to be the work of Mo Fei's stepmother. The Mo family has few children, with only Mo Fei as the eldest son and a second son. Her stepmother confessed that she didn't want Mo Fei to come back and interfere with her son's inheritance, so she, along with Zan Qing, who was then the deputy general, reported false news and intercepted the reinforcements. By the time Li Yan realized something was wrong and rushed to Nanning, it was too late."
Mu Xingchen sneered: "Li Yan is everywhere, then what?"
Xiao Qi: "Then the emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the stepmother and all her children. The woman's family was also executed. Mo Fei's father was also dismissed from his post and his military power was taken back due to negligence. Now the military power is in Xiao Su's hands. Li Yan was also beaten with a stick 100 times for his negligence."
Mu Xingchen: "It's funny. The last raindrop was bigger but caused less damage. I'm afraid it wasn't intentional."
Xiao Qi: "It should be. After all, the Mo family used to have such great prestige in the army and was very popular among the people. Not only did they hold military power for many years, but they also gave birth to such a talented son. Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Mu Xingchen sighed with some regret and jumped down from the house.
At this moment, Mo Fei in the room had already gotten up and was sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her makeup.
"You heard it all." She turned her head and said lightly.
Mu Xingchen looked at her with a complicated expression: "Did Li Yan do it?"
Mo Fei paused, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Or should I say, the royal family?" Mu Xingchen said incisively.
Mo Fei turned his head and looked directly at her, with an ambiguous smile on his face: "Mu Qing, you are really smart."
"So you want revenge, and it's directed at the royal family." Mu Xingchen's heart was in turmoil!
"So, our goal is the same." Mo Fei said with a smile.
If you want to destroy the royal family, the Mu family must die first, and Li Yan must die first.
"Purpose? The same?" Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes coldly.
Mo Fei laughed out loud. She removed her lip balm in front of the bronze mirror and said calmly, "The six dry-blooded people outside the door are the best proof."
Mu Xingchen's pupils turned cold.
"As expected of a famous major general back then, he even knows all this."
"But." Mu Xingchen walked over, sat on the bed and yawned lazily, "There is a blood feud between the Yuegan tribe and the human race. You cooperated with those half-demons to overthrow the royal family. Do you want to betray your tribe?" Mu Xingchen said slowly.
"Heh." Mo Fei chuckled softly, but the smile in her eyes completely disappeared the next second, replaced by a terrifying hatred: "Traitor? The feud between me and the royal family is a genocide. I will never reconcile until this hatred is avenged!"
Mu Xingchen frowned slightly. Exterminate the clan? But the emperor only exterminated her stepmother's clan...
"So you have a good relationship with your stepmother?" Mu Xingchen asked complicatedly.
"She is my biological mother." Mo Fei looked at himself in the mirror and sneered again.
Xiao Qi explained, "It seems her father died not long after her stepmother and two sons died because he couldn't bear the shock. Could it be that her father only had two sons, so it's right to say that the family was exterminated. Her father was a very good man and won countless battles. Mu Qing was sad for a few days when she learned of his death."
Mu Xingchen pursed her lips and said, "My condolences."
Mo Fei removed all her makeup, and she said coldly, "It's okay."
Mu Xingchen reminded: "The comb is in the drawer."
Mo Fei opened the drawer, and the next second her pupils shrank.
The reflection of the bronze mirror allowed Mu Xingchen to clearly see Mo Fei's expression, "What? Do you know that jade?" she asked curiously.
Besides the comb, there was only a piece of jade in there.
Mo Fei slowly picked up the jade from the drawer and gently stroked it with an expressionless face. After a while, she asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, Miss Mu, where did you get the jade?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened, "It fell from an old man in the dark cell."
"Dark...prison..." Mo Fei's lips curled up into a sinister smile, "Oh, no wonder."
"You have a grudge against him?" Mu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "The old man is already dead. He was tortured to death by slow slicing."
Mo Fei suddenly grasped the jade pendant in his hand. In the bronze mirror, he saw her eyes tinged with scarlet. Her eyes seemed to regret that he was dead, and also that she was not the one who tortured him to death.
"Hehehe" She smiled at the bronze mirror. Her smile was particularly low, like the storm that was coming outside.
A strange feeling flashed through Mu Xingchen's heart.
After a while, Mo Fei put the jade pendant back into the box. When she turned around, her expression had returned to normal. She kindly reminded him, "If you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to destroy it."
Mu Xingchen tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the bed and nodded: "Okay."
Mo Fei started to change his appearance again.
"How many days will you stay?" Mu Xingchen asked tentatively.
Mo Fei paused, and she said with understanding, "Kyoto will be in chaos tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here with Miss Mu for a few days. Let those people outside the door sleep for a few days. I'll let Yu'er deal with it."
Mu Xingchen frowned slightly.
Mo Fei continued: "Don't worry, he won't be back in the next few days."
"Do you know who he is?" Mu Xingchen laughed out loud.
Mo Fei smiled and said, "I only have a vague understanding."
Mu Xingchen suddenly became alert and said, "If you have any news to share, please tell me."
"Okay, I'll tell you what I know. Consider it my reward for staying with you these few days." Mo Fei said as he painted his eyebrows. "I only know one name for that man: Jing. I first fought him seven years ago during the Yuanzhou riot. Back then, his strength was already astonishing. Even the three hundred elite guards of the Mo family, plus myself, couldn't stop him. At the time, I suspected he was involved in the Yuanzhou riot, so I spent a lot of time investigating him."
"What did you find out?" Mu Xingchen asked.
Mo Fei smiled and said, "In recent years, the imperial court has spent a lot of manpower and resources trying to completely wipe out the Yuegan tribe. Do you know why?"
Mu Xingchen shook his head.
There was a hint of complexity in Mo Fei's eyes: "You really only care about the Mu family's affairs."
"Stop talking nonsense." Mu Xingchen said lazily.
Mo Fei put down the comb, turned around and said, "After the demon race was defeated a thousand years ago, the remaining demons hid in the human world to survive. They married and had children like ordinary people, and eventually gave birth to half-demon bloodlines. By the time humans discovered them, countless half-demon bloodlines had already existed. Hundreds of years ago, the ancestor emperor was worried that the human race's bloodline would be completely mixed, so he began to hunt down these half-demons. From then on, these half-demons began to hide even more severely, scattered here and there, and no one dared to reveal their identity."
"But over the past decade or so, they've suddenly begun to gather in an orderly manner, forming a well-organized force. You know, although they're few in number, they're highly talented. Once this force is fully formed, it will pose a formidable threat to humanity. And how did they manage to gather this force right under the nose of the imperial court?"
Mu Xingchen frowned and said, "You mean..." Could it be that she and Xiaoqi guessed wrong? Li Jing was not a manager, but a leading organizer.
