Chapter 225 It’s Not Easy for Me to Still Be Alive
Before leaving, Nan Rui solemnly warned: "Prefect Feng, this trip is just for fun. You should just pretend you didn't see me today."
Feng Zhifu promised repeatedly: "Your Highness, please rest assured."
Nan Rui glanced at Prefect Feng again as a warning before leaving with his men.
When he arrived in Yuncheng, the city gate had already been opened by Meng Huaining, which Nanrui found a little strange.
After entering the city, Nanrui went straight to the county government office.
Such a big thing happened in Yuncheng, even though it was just a misunderstanding, as the prince of Dashun, he also had to understand it carefully.
"Come with me to the county government office first." Nanrui instructed several subordinates.
"Yes." After the subordinates responded, they dispersed around Nanrui to provide protection.
Nanrui walked along the street and arrived at the county government office.
At this time, Mo Chuhan had just returned with a group of officials and was about to go out to inform the people that no one had smallpox. Unexpectedly, he met Nan Rui as soon as he reached the door.
He immediately became alert. His ninth brother had speculated that he was one of the assassins sent by Nanrui to assassinate his ninth brother.
In other words, even if the person who infected him with the puppet poison was not Nan Rui, he was definitely involved.
Therefore, the moment he saw Nan Rui, Mo Chuhan not only became alert, but also his anger was rising rapidly.
Nan Rui recognized Mo Chuhan at a glance. Unexpectedly, he met him here by chance. However, he didn't know Mo Chuhan's current situation and did not act rashly.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Chuhan still bowed to Nan Rui.
After all, before you fall out with the prince, you still have to put on some superficial effort when you meet him.
"Why is His Royal Highness Prince Rui here?"
Nan Rui frowned slightly. If the mother Gu in his hand met the baby Gu, it would definitely react. However, he was in such close contact with Mo Chuhan, but there was no reaction at all.
While he was puzzled, he raised his hand towards Mo Chuhan: "Mo...no need to be polite."
Nan Rui originally wanted to tell General Mo that there was no need to be so polite, but when he thought about what had happened to the Mo family, he didn't know how to address Mo Chuhan.
Mo Chuhan quickly stood up and didn't say anything else, intending to give the initiative to speak to Nan Rui.
At the same time, the group of officers following behind him were already standing there in a daze.
Just now, Captain Mo actually called the person in front of them "His Royal Highness Prince Rui". They didn't know how to react and even forgot the basic kneeling.
Nan Rui looked at Mo Chuhan again. Seeing that he was wearing the official uniform of a police chief, he asked curiously, "Are you working in the government office now?"
Mo Chuhan didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of implicating Meng Huaining.
"The county magistrate doesn't know my identity. I just want to find a job to support my family."
Believe it or not, Nanrui did not pursue the matter further.
What he is most concerned about right now is why his mother Gu cannot control Mo Chuhan.
Just when talking with the latter, Nan Rui tried to control the mother Gu, but Mo Chuhan didn't react at all.
He couldn't figure out what went wrong. If he hadn't taken action himself, Mo Chuhan's puppet Gu would have been impossible to remove.
"Your body?" Nan Rui wanted to ask something from Mo Chuhan.
At this moment, Mo Chuhan was completely certain that the puppet Gu he was infected with was directly related to Nan Rui.
Thinking of this, he no longer wanted to go around in circles with Nan Rui. The worst that could happen was a fight to the death. As for the dozen or so guards surrounding Nan Rui, Mo Chuhan didn't take them seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Mo Chuhan sneered: "Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, it's really not easy for me to still be alive."
Nan Rui's expression changed immediately when he heard this.
"What do you know?"
Mo Chuhan first looked at the officials behind him. He guessed that Nanrui came here because of him.
Even though his entire Mohist family had been exiled, it was not easy to talk about such things openly. However, Nan Rui actually asked about it so openly.
If he were so careless as to say it directly in front of the officials, the dark secrets between them would be exposed immediately.
"Your Highness really intends to say this here?"
After being reminded like this, Nanrui realized that there were not only the guards he brought with him, but also those officials. He was indeed careless.
Nan Rui immediately turned around and said, "Follow me."
Mo Chuhan sent away the frightened officials and strode away behind Nan Rui.
The two went directly to a nearby restaurant and asked for a private room.
Facing Nan Rui, Mo Chuhan was not polite at all and sat down directly in his seat.
Nan Rui was not annoyed. He sat opposite him and thought for a moment before he took the initiative to speak.
"This time, I came to the northwest to find you."
Mo Chuhan was not surprised to hear him say this.
"I wonder what King Rui wants to see me about?"
Nanrui didn't intend to beat around the bush and directly placed the small porcelain bottle in his hand on the table.
"This bottle contains a mother puppet Gu."
Mo Chuhan raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Nanrui shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"You actually know everything, so why do you need me to explain it so clearly?"
Mo Chuhan sneered and didn't intend to play dumb anymore.
"The men of the Mohist school shed blood on the battlefield to protect the Dashun territory. Now, we have been reduced to the point of exile. Can we still pose a threat to anyone?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Rui quickly explained: "You misunderstood. I didn't come here to harm the Mo family."
"In that case, I'll take my leave now." Mo Chuhan stood up and prepared to walk out.
Since it is not detrimental to the Mohist School, no matter what King Rui's purpose is, he does not want to participate.
As for the fact that his ninth brother's wife had cured him of the poison, he didn't want to explain it to Nanrui.
Seeing that Mo Chuhan was really about to leave, Nan Rui quickly stood up and stopped him.
"I'm also being threatened. Please sit down and listen to what I have to say."
Mo Chuhan glanced at Nan Rui sideways, then sat back down somewhat unwillingly.
Nan Rui sorted himself out and said, "Don't think that the mother Gu is in my hands now, but the puppet Gu in you was not planted by me.
You also know that my mother is not favored, and I have had a low sense of presence in the palace since I was a child. I also know that I do not have the talent to be an emperor. Therefore, I have always deliberately avoided those court disputes.
Despite this, I was still being targeted.”
As he spoke, Nanrui raised the porcelain bottle in his hand again to show Mo Chuhan.
"He was the former owner of this Mother Gu. He used my mother as a threat to force me to do things for him. Whatever you saw or heard about me was not my intention."
As soon as Nan Rui finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the guard came in to report: "Your Highness, the Ninth Master of the Mo Family and his wife are here."
Nanrui didn't expect Mo Jiuye to come here at this time.
