Chapter 1092: The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (Part 4)
Haqi City.
The residence of Commander-in-Chief Ren Feng.
It was his mother's birthday, so Ren Feng held a grand banquet. The entire Ren Mansion was filled with guests and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.
Compared to the noise elsewhere, the courtyard in the front yard where people were singing was rather quiet.
Under the stage, the Governor, the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, and the Commander-in-Chief, the three highest-ranking officials in Liaodong, were sitting next to a handsome and noble young man, smiling and talking from time to time.
Xiao Moxi tapped the table lightly with his hand, watching the play on the stage with a smile, and casually chatting with the three people: "This king is really lucky. I met all three adults at once, which saved me from running back and forth."
Ren Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? If you summon us, we will come to you and ask for an audience. How dare we trouble Your Highness to come in person?"
Xiao Moxi's smile remained unchanged: "You three are the highest officials of the Ministry of Justice. You are busy with official duties every day. I cannot delay your work."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them changed their expressions.
Today is the fifth day of the Ren Mansion's banquet. If they were really busy with official duties, they would not appear here at this time.
This young Prince Xiao is warning them in disguise!
Just then, the play on the stage finished, and Xiao Moxi said directly, "Let's do the next play about serving the country with loyalty. Liaodong is located on the frontier, and the three of you are here to guard the gates of Daxia. You have done a great job and made great contributions."
"Your Highness is serious. This is the duty of the subordinates."
Ren Feng and the other two stood up at the same time, their eyes flickering, all trying to guess what Xiao Moxi meant.
Facing this young prince who had become famous among the officials of Daxia in just three years, the three men did not dare to be careless at all.
Although this man looks gentle and smiles constantly, the three of them have heard that he is a man who can take down officials in the midst of chatting and laughing.
Xiao Moxi smiled at the three of them and asked them to sit down in a friendly manner. Then, he chatted with them about all sorts of things.
After the play and dinner, it was getting dark, so Ren Feng invited Xiao Moxi and the accompanying Jinling Guards to stay at the Ren Mansion, and Xiao Moxi readily agreed.
Ren Feng personally accompanied Xiao Moxi to the guest house, while the governor and the provincial judge were escorted out of the house by Ren Feng's second brother, Master Ren Er.
"My humble abode is simple, please do not despise it, Your Highness."
Xiao Moxi smiled and shook his head: "Master Ren is too modest. This courtyard is very nice. We are so shameless to disturb you."
Ren Feng smiled and said, "As long as the prince is satisfied." Then he began to order the servants in the yard to serve him well.
At this moment, the mansion suddenly became noisy again.
"There's an assassin!"
"Someone come quickly, the second master is injured!"
Hearing the servants' shouting, Ren Feng's expression suddenly changed.
Xiao Moxi also heard it, frowned slightly, and then looked at Ren Feng: "Master Ren, please do as you please."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, Ren Feng left quickly.
Listening to the increasingly loud shouting, Xiao Moxi's eyes flickered.
Wu Yutang, who was standing by, looked at the messy Ren Mansion and asked in confusion, "Who would dare to come to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion to assassinate him?"
Xiao Moxi glanced at him and asked, "Who would come to assassinate a commander-in-chief who guards the safety of the border?"
Wu Yutang: "Yes, who is it? Could it be a Hu person?"
Xiao Mo hoped that no one outside the courtyard gate spoke.
Wu Yutang asked again: "Should we help?"
Xiao Moxi smiled and said, "When you are away from home, you should follow the host's wishes. Lord Ren didn't ask for our help just now, so it's better for us not to interfere."
Hearing this, Wu Yutang said nothing more and walked into the room with a shrug.
Xiao Moxi pondered for a moment, avoided the servants of the Ren Mansion, and jumped onto the roof.
They had been in Haqi City for some days. After taking over the Jinling Guards here, they secretly investigated and found out that the token obtained from the Hu people was actually made by Ren Feng a few years ago.
The Liaodong commander-in-chief was actually involved with the Hu people, so he had to come and find out.
While thinking, Xiao Moxi saw a masked man in black holding a sword rushing towards him. Behind the man in black were several guards from the Ren family.
Seeing the man in black getting closer, Xiao Moxi had no intention of taking action.
However, just as the man in black passed by the guest house, he seemed to notice someone on the roof and suddenly looked up.
Those eyes
Xiao Moxi frowned as he looked at the man in black who had run away. Seeing the guards of the Ren Mansion following closely behind him, he hesitated for a moment and quickly followed.
At the corner of the guest house, the man in black was caught up by the guards of the Ren Mansion, and the two sides were fighting for their lives.
Ye Yueying ignored the severe pain from her back, gritted her teeth, and fought hard to kill the guards of the Ren Mansion. Finally, she killed all of them before her strength was almost exhausted.
"who?!"
Ye Yueying knelt on one knee, supporting her body with her sword. Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly drew her sword and stood up, pointing it directly at Xiao Moxi who had suddenly appeared.
Looking at Xiao Moxi, Ye Yueying frowned, then raised her sword and rushed towards him without hesitation.
Xiao Moxi didn't expect Ye Yueying to be so decisive. He quickly dodged and retreated. During the fight, he grabbed Ye Yueying's wrist holding the sword: "Brother Ye!"
Seeing that Xiao Moxi recognized her, Ye Yueying broke free from Xiao Moxi's restraints, and her subsequent attacks became more and more fierce.
Her identity cannot be exposed, otherwise it will implicate her maternal family.
Ye Yueying's moves were deadly, something Xiao Moxi hadn't expected. Hearing the sound of someone approaching, he had to speak again: "Brother Ye, the guards from the Ren Mansion will be here soon. Are you sure you want to keep fighting with me?"
Hearing this, Ye Yueying hesitated for a moment, quickly withdrew her hand, and then ran towards the back door.
When he turned around, he was grabbed by Xiao Moxi.
Ye Yueying was completely annoyed: "Why, you want to hand me over to Ren Feng?"
Xiao Moxi heard Ye Yueying mention Ren Fengqi's name, and her tone was filled with hatred and murderous intent. Her eyes flashed: "Brother Ye, the back door must be surrounded now. If you believe me..."
"I don't believe it!" Ye Yueying interrupted Xiao Moxi and raised her sword to chop him.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Xiao Moxi could only forcibly take away Ye Yueying's sword and put his arm around her shoulders to hold her still: "Brother Ye, I have no ill intentions. Hush, the Ren Mansion guards are coming."
Without waiting for Ye Yueying to react, Xiao Moxi took her into the guest house.
In the room, Ye Yueying looked at Xiao Moxi warily: "Why did you save me?"
Xiao Moxi was as gentle as ever, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you forgot that you saved me at the post station. This is my way of repaying you for saving my life."
Hearing this, Ye Yueying's frown relaxed a little.
Xiao Moxi asked tentatively, "Brother Ye, Lord Ren is guarding the border and protecting the country. Why did you come to his house to assassinate him?"
Ye Yueying's eyes became sharp again, and she sneered, "Ren Feng, defending our country?" As she spoke, she pointed her sword at Xiao Moxi, "You are all birds of a feather."
Xiao Moxi rubbed his forehead helplessly, avoided the sword, and calmly walked to the chair and sat down: "Brother Ye, you are generalizing again."
Ye Yueying: "You live in the Ren Mansion, which shows that you have a close relationship with Ren Feng. Have I wronged you?"
Seeing Ye Yueying's growing hostility, Xiao Moxi was considering how to explain when he heard the voice of the security guards in the yard.
