Father Su became even more depressed, looking as if he had lost all hope.
Some people cannot accept this result.
Su Qingyue looked at her father's expression and understood what he was thinking.
At this moment, she just found it ridiculous that her father's annoyance and regret were not for her, but for his own benefit.
What he regretted was that he had never treated her and Qingli well, but that he had missed out on the benefits of heaven and the benefits that they could gain behind the scenes.
He is really cruel and heartless!
"You have been hiding your identity in the past?"
Su's mother questioned, but her tone did not show any confidence. After receiving the indifferent looks from her daughter and son-in-law, she avoided their gazes at ease.
She knew she had no courage to ask, but she couldn't help herself.
Su Qingyue said calmly: "I didn't know about this before, but I only found out a few days ago. Besides, it's a serious matter, so I can't say anything casually. Mother, please forgive me."
When Su Qingyue said this, Mother Su immediately knew what else to say. Even though she was happy in her heart, she could only shut up.
"Qingyue, you are a blessed person."
Father Su spoke.
Su Qingyue nodded and said with a smile, "It is indeed my blessing to meet Mo Bai."
Father Su understood what she meant and felt sad, but what could he say?
With his identity exposed, He Mobai's team merged into the Xia Kingdom delegation and returned together.
Five days after the envoys from the two countries left, Qingli and Nangong Yanxiao prepared to set off to Xia Kingdom to find the two children.
At this time, Su Qingyue and others were almost reaching the territory of Xia Kingdom.
After a whole day's journey, they finally arrived at the territory of Xia Kingdom before dark.
After leaving the city, everyone went to the post station to rest. At night, Su Qingyue and Mo Bai were resting, and suddenly a sound was heard in the quiet room.
It was the sound of a window being poked. Although it was very slight, Mo Bai still noticed it.
A smell began to drift in the room. He held his breath and reached under the pillow to grasp the handle.
Su Qingyue beside him had inhaled the drug and fell into a coma.
Mo Bai didn't move and continued to lie there quietly.
A moment later, the window opened and a man jumped in.
Without vision, Mo Bai's hearing became very sensitive.
After that person landed, two more people came in one after another. There were three people in the room in total and the windows were closed.
The footsteps of three people were approaching the bed. The footsteps were steady, one step at a time, and the faint sound fell into Mo Bai's ears.
As the footsteps got closer, Mo Bai's expression became more and more focused.
Until the footsteps stopped in front of his bed.
Under the pillow, Mo Bai's fingers tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to strike at any time.
In the dark night, the man in black raised his sword high, a cold light flashed, and the tip of the sword stabbed towards Mo Bai.
After confirming that Mo Bai had been knocked unconscious, the three men in black relaxed their vigilance.
And the moment the cold light flashed, Mo Bai's hand moved.
His hand was faster than the man in black. Before the tip of the man's sword could pierce him, the sword in his hand had already cut the man's neck, a fatal blow.
The accident happened in just a moment. Mo Bai turned over and the sword flashed past, and another man in black who was closer and had not yet reacted was cut in the neck.
Two people died in one group, and the other man in black immediately became alert and dodged quickly, then attacked Mo Bai again.
In the dark night, sword shadows flashed frequently as the two men fought back and forth. Although the man in black was good at martial arts, Mo Bai was obviously better. After two rounds, the man in black was stabbed.
After hesitating for a moment, the man in black ran away. Knowing that if he continued to pester him, he would only die, so he made a choice quickly.
Mo Bai took out a firecracker from his arms and threw it outside. In an instant, several secret guards rushed in from the front. After the man in black jumped out of the window, he was immediately surrounded.
Seeing this, the men in black realized that they were doomed to never return tonight, and this was obviously a trap.
The man in black got together with the secret guards, but was soon arrested. He wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but was stopped in time, and a stick was immediately stuffed in his mouth, making him unable to move his mouth.
Mo Bai put on his clothes and walked out. At this time, the lights in the courtyard were already on, and the face of the man in black was seen.
"Master, how should we deal with this?"
He Yi asked.
Mo Bai looked at the man in black, squatted in front of him and looked at his face carefully, then said: "Who ordered you to kill me?"
The man in black was talking, he was chewing something and then he opened his mouth.
Mo Bai waved his hand, and He Yi and He Er came over immediately. They used something to pry open the black-clothed man's mouth while taking away the strips.
Then he took out a pair of pliers and pulled out all the teeth of the man in black.
The screams startled everyone in the inn, except Su Qingyue who was unconscious.
The lights in all the rooms were on, and Su's father, Su's mother, and Prince Zhao Mo Ting all ran out.
The tooth extraction was still going on. At this time, the man in black had a mouth full of blood and looked scary.
Su's father and mother, who ran out curiously, were frightened. They supported each other, with fear in their eyes.
King Zhao ran over and looked at the scene in surprise.
"What happened? Mo Bai."
King Zhao had obviously just been woken up and ran out in a hurry. His clothes were not put on properly and were a little messy.
Mo Tingxiao's eyes were half-closed and full of curiosity.
"It's okay. Did some assassins wake you up?"
Mo Bai spoke, his expression normal.
King Zhao's eyes fell on the figure in black, and he said with disgust, "Just kill him directly. It's disgusting to see him like this."
Mo Ting hurriedly said, "Brother, you...you might as well just kill him. It's too cruel to torture him like this."
The screams of the man in black continued, and the tooth extraction process was still going on.
Mo Ting didn't even dare to look at it. He only felt that his teeth were hurting badly.
Mo Bai glanced at his sixth brother and said, "This man is a professional killer. He must have been ordered to kill me. We haven't even asked him clearly yet, so how can we kill him?"
Mo Ting nodded, looking as if he suddenly understood.
"Yes, then Second Brother, please ask slowly. I'm going to sleep first."
Mo Ting really dared to watch this scene.
Seeing him leave like this, Mo Bai's doubts disappeared a little, and then he said to He Yi: "After the tooth is extracted, let He Shi come to check on him, don't let him die."
He Shi arrived late, tidying up his clothes and said hurriedly: "I'm here, I'm here."
He Shi ran over and was surprised for a moment when he saw the miserable state of the man in black. Then he hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry. Even if he dies, I will make sure he lives well and tells everything."
He eleven pills were given to the man in black to swallow, and then he said, "Master, you can start questioning. The blood will be contained soon."
Mo Bai cast a glance at He Yi, who immediately understood what was going on and began to interrogate the man in black.
Mo Bai sat on the chair brought by his subordinates, and the postmaster knelt in front of him, trembling.
"Please spare my life, Second Prince. It was my fault that the official failed in his duty and allowed the assassin to sneak in. I will investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation."
The postmaster had not expected such a thing to happen. Although he had never seen the Second Prince, he had heard of him. It was said that he was the Emperor's most beloved son, but it was a pity that he was missing.
Now that he was suddenly found, the emperor was very happy, and had already ordered all post stations and local officials to protect the second prince and bring him back to Tiandu safely.
Now that the second prince has been assassinated here, if anything happens to him, I'm afraid everyone in this post station will be buried with him.
Fortunately, the second prince was not in trouble and the assassin was caught.
Yicheng had a sense of luck in his heart, but he was actually relieved. As long as he could push all the blame onto the killer, he would have to bear much less responsibility.
