Chapter 66 I Like Disobedience Most
Mo Yunzhu pulled the man down from the courtyard wall and lifted up his bamboo hat. She saw a face of a man in his forties. She had never seen him before, but he looked like a ruthless man.
She searched his body and found a black tube with a lid. Mo Yunzhu did not open it and continued searching. She found a sharp long dagger on his waist, a short dagger in his boots, a lot of banknotes and some gold abscess medicine.
Mo Yunzhu couldn't find any clues to the person's identity, so she didn't waste time and left the person in the dark under a tree. Normally, even if someone passed by, they wouldn't be able to see anyone unless they looked carefully.
She immediately returned to her house through the back door and stood on a higher place. She saw two black shadows fighting on the roof of Caixia Courtyard. It was very fierce and fast, but there was little movement.
That was Mo Huaiqing's yard. Mo Yunzhu's mouth twitched and she hurriedly went to change her clothes. When she came out, the two black shadows were gone.
Mo Yunzhu came to the side door, and sure enough, Long Yi appeared soon, smelling of blood.
"Are you injured?" Mo Yunzhu frowned.
"It's just a minor injury. Are you okay, Miss?"
"I have captured the dwarf alive. He is under the tree at the back door. You take him back to Prince Lan's Mansion and lock him up. I will go there tomorrow." Mo Yunzhu instructed, "Here is the best medicine for treating golden sores."
"Thank you, Miss." Long Yi felt a little ashamed. The Miss looked intact and he almost messed up the situation. Fortunately, he had killed her, otherwise he would not know how to explain it.
Mo Yunzhu didn't ask any more questions. To her, there was not much difference between one alive and two alive, so she returned to her yard with peace of mind.
"Miss, is everything okay?" Yuan Qing looked around for her and asked anxiously when he saw her come back.
"It's all right now. You can sleep peacefully now." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile, "Tomorrow we will know who wants to kill me."
Yuan Qing was terrified and said anxiously, "Miss, you need some strong martial arts people around you."
"Dad had two good guards before, but after Dad came back, he no longer needed them. I'll go ask Dad where they are."
Yuan Qing nodded immediately, and Mo Yunzhu went to Mo Tiancheng with an umbrella.
Mo Tiancheng had been waiting for her to come back in the study. After all, Mo Yunzhu had been out for the whole day. Fortunately, his informants reported that Mo Yunzhu had left the palace safely and had gone shopping.
"Dad." Mo Yunzhu's voice outside the door made Mo Tiancheng look up immediately, then he put down the military book in his hand and stood up.
"Yun Zhu, are you okay? The emperor..." Mo Tiancheng felt that he didn't want to be the emperor's father-in-law at all.
He just couldn't understand how the emperor, who was three years older than him, had the nerve to fall in love with his beautiful 18-year-old daughter.
"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry." Mo Yunzhu immediately took his hand and acted coquettishly, "I know exactly what the emperor means, but he won't have a chance."
"What if he issues an order directly..." Mo Tiancheng and everyone else had the same idea.
"Not for now. He just lost face a few times and doesn't want to lose face again so soon. Postponing my wedding with Prince Lan means he needs time."
"Has the renovation of Prince Lan's Mansion been completed?"
"Dad, by then, many things may have happened. He may hate me, or Prince Lan and I may have already gotten married. Will he still want to take advantage of me? So, you don't have to worry at all. Even if I am forced to enter the palace, he won't be able to touch me."
"Yun Zhu, Dad is really too worried. The emperor is lustful by nature, and he has really lost his mind this time." Mo Tiancheng never expected this.
"He was originally a tyrant." Mo Yunzhu had heard this before, but what she saw and heard today further confirmed this point.
"Hush!" Mo Tiancheng was startled and quickly told her to be quiet, "You can't say that. If someone hears it, your entire clan will be exterminated."
"Hehe, Dad, I'm just telling you this."
"Girl, why don't you worry about anything? Dad was really scared today. Fortunately, Huaiqing is fine..." Mo Tiancheng felt like he was the eunuch who was anxious while the emperor was not.
"Dad, it's not a big deal. My second sister is definitely fine now. You and mom can rest assured. Leave the rest to me. Dad, I'm grown up."
"You've changed so much all of a sudden. Maybe you've been stimulated a lot."
"Hehe, people always have to grow up. If you want to be strong, you have to be tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. The more stimulation I receive, the stronger I will be in the future. Dad, there are no male heirs in our family. My eldest uncle and third uncle are both in the frontier. It's my turn to protect the general's mansion."
"Girl, you..." Mo Tiancheng's old eyes were moist.
"Dad, you just need to be good to mom, and leave everything else to me." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
Mo Tiancheng nodded with great satisfaction and said, "The Queen, the Crown Prince, Minister Sun, and the Zhang family will not let you go."
"I know. Since they all want me dead, I will not be polite. By the way, Dad, where are the two very capable guards who were with you before?"
"You want them?" Mo Tiancheng knew immediately. "I sent them to your uncle's place. Ningxi Country is not peaceful, but Chang Teng and Chang Qing are still in the Imperial City. Dad is in the Imperial City and does not need them to protect him. So I sent them to Muyun Courtyard to train guards. If you want them, Dad will send them back."
“Are they reliable?”
"Of course, their fathers are brothers who have been through thick and thin with you. Now they are being wasted. They may be unwilling to follow you."
"I just like to make those who are not convinced convinced! Dad, please let them come back. I encountered an assassin tonight. I am afraid that the general's mansion will be unsafe in the future. Please call more guards back."
"You were stabbed tonight? You weren't hurt? What happened?"
Mo Yunzhu could only tell the truth: "Don't worry, I will know who wants to kill me tomorrow."
"Yun Zhu, you'd better be careful. Now that you are not the Crown Princess, many people will step on our General's Mansion. The more they wanted to win us over in the past, the more they want to step on us now."
"Dad, I understand. I will let them know one by one that even if the General's Mansion has no backers, we have the power to convince them!"
A sharp and confident light shone from Mo Yunzhu's beautiful eyes.
"Okay, Dad will ask someone to bring them back immediately." Mo Tiancheng was inexplicably excited. He was originally a general who fought on the battlefield, but now he was left in the imperial city to teach military law in the Ministry of War. He felt very depressed.
Early the next morning, Yuan Qing and Moli were excitedly talking to the new guards Chang Teng and Chang Qing.
Mo Yunzhu was dressed in a fancy outfit and walked into the yard with a smile.
"My name is Chang Teng, my name is Chang Qing, nice to meet the young lady." The two guards, who were about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, had ordinary looks but were very manly. They saluted Mo Yunzhu with their fists.
There was just a hint of indifference in their expressions. They had always wanted to follow the general to the battlefield, but they didn't expect that now they were asked to protect the young lady. What's more, they had to protect the young lady together, which made them feel that they were wasting their talents.
Sure enough, I am a little unconvinced.
"You're welcome. Now that you're here, you're one of us from now on. Come on and show me how strong you are." Mo Yunzhu jumped away and assumed a fighting stance.
The two men were stunned. After looking at each other, Chang Teng raised his lips with a sneer of contempt and said, "Well, then I have overstepped my authority!"
