Chapter 549: Will Definitely Protect the Mo Family
If Mo Jiuye did not refute him, it would mean that the other party had acquiesced, which was equivalent to the latter indirectly expressing his position to Nan Yu.
Mo Jiuye did not refute, but he did not think what Nanrui thought.
The Mohists had already been persecuted by the imperial court, and it was impossible for them to do anything that might harm their own family members just for the sake of the sense of loyalty in their hearts.
The reason why he didn't express his opinion was that he already had his own plans.
If Nan Yu really became the greatest emperor of all time as recorded in history, I believe that his own abilities would be extraordinary, and he would be able to hold on to that position even without the help of the Mohist school.
What's more, the existence of Mohism no longer existed in historical records. So, in his mind, after resolving the current crisis, the Mohism was no longer necessary for Nan Yu.
He himself did not forget his original intention. He became the King of Zhenxi just because he hoped that the Mohist school could have a paradise of its own.
Nan Yu also understood what Nan Rui meant. He also felt that Mo Jiuye's lack of rebuttal meant that he acquiesced. In order to show his sincerity, he immediately stated his position.
"Don't worry, Ninth Young Master. I, Nan Yu, keep my word. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect the Mo family from worry."
Mo Jiuye just listened to this. Apart from letting his family live and work in peace and contentment, he didn't want to ask for more.
Faced with this topic that he didn't want to talk about, Mo Jiuye just glossed over it.
…
If things had not changed suddenly and Mo Jiuye had not needed to rush back to the northwest to receive the imperial edict, he and He Zhiran would have waited until Minister He had successfully resigned before going back together.
As a result, the plan did not change quickly enough, and they had to go back now.
They have a G-Class, which saves a lot of time on the road, but others don't know about it.
No matter how anyone calculated it, it would take them almost half a month to rush back to the northwest at full speed. Even if it was to conceal their tracks, they had to set off at this time.
Although it was to conceal their tracks, the two still chose the G-Class as their means of transportation.
On the way, they came out of the space every three days and traveled for one night. When they arrived at the poor areas, they would use the money and supplies they had taken from the national treasury to provide relief.
Despite this deliberate delay, the two arrived in the northwest on the twelfth day after leaving Beijing.
As soon as they entered the northwest, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran felt a tense atmosphere.
The street, which was once quite bustling, can now be described as deserted. Most of the shops have their doors locked, with only a very few open. Even so, there are few customers and no business at all.
The doors of the people's homes were all tightly shut. Occasionally, someone would open the door a crack to look outside, then quickly close it again...
This kind of atmosphere was not unfamiliar to Mo Jiuye. Before he was exiled, he had been stationed in the border areas for many years. Whenever a war broke out there, the people around him would be in the same situation as today.
Even in more serious cases, people would choose to abandon their homes and flee with their loved ones.
Therefore, from the state of the people in the northwest, it can be preliminarily concluded that although the war has started here, it has not yet reached the point where the enemy launches a large-scale attack, or in other words, the barbarian army has not yet attacked.
But this situation is not optimistic. If the war were not so intense, the people would not have to stay at home like this.
Anyway, he and He Zhiran returned to the northwest earlier than expected. Even if the messenger sent by Emperor Shunwu was faster, it would probably take two days for him to arrive.
After Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran discussed it, they decided to go to the western battlefield first to find out the situation.
In this way, when the imperial edict arrives, he will be able to know what to do when he is ordered to go to the battlefield.
The couple were dressed like ordinary people in their daily attire. There was nothing special about them walking on the street except that they looked a little outstanding. Therefore, they did not disguise themselves this time.
The two men headed straight for the northwest border, and they found that the closer they got to their target location, the fewer people there were.
Suddenly, Mo Jiuye felt something was wrong, and he pulled He Zhiran to stand still.
He Zhiran was also a vigilant person. Mo Jiuye suddenly grabbed him, which meant he must have discovered something.
Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from the jungle beside the road.
At this time, Mo Jiuye was ready to take action. At the same time, he also reminded He Zhiran: "Ranran, hide immediately if there is any danger."
As soon as Mo Jiuye finished speaking, two figures quickly jumped out of the jungle.
Before either side could start fighting, the person who came immediately said, "Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, why is it you?"
"Second brother, third brother, why are you here?" the couple asked together.
The third brother took a look at the surroundings and said softly, "Ninth brother and sister-in-law, come with me first. This is not the place to talk."
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran tacitly kept silent and followed their two brothers into the jungle.
After walking about a hundred meters into the jungle, the couple saw a group of about two hundred people in an open space in front of them. They were looking in the direction they were coming from, and all of them were on high alert.
At this time, the third brother asked, "When did Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law come back? Have the things in the capital been resolved?"
In Mo Yunfeng's opinion, he and his second brother had been lying in ambush here for seven or eight days. He guessed that Mo Jiuye and his wife should have returned to Xiling Village.
After learning that they had ambushed here, I rushed over to check it out.
"We just came back from the capital. Seeing that the situation in the northwest was not good, we planned to check it out before returning to Xiling Village. We didn't expect to meet the second and third brothers here."
After Mo Jiuye explained, he asked:
"Why did the second and third brothers lead people to ambush here?"
"Now that the barbarians are invading en masse, it's fine if we're not in the northwest, but we can't just sit here and watch the people become displaced by the war.
After discussing with my father and brothers at home, and with everyone's unanimous agreement, we led a team to ambush here.
If the border cannot withstand the barbarians' attack and they break in, we can stop them here."
As the third brother spoke, he pointed to his old subordinates in the open space.
"Dad made the decision and asked everyone to bring five bombs. We have all witnessed the power of bombs. Even though we have a small number of people, we can still stop the barbarians from entering the city."
In fact, there was no need for the third brother to explain so much, Mo Jiuye also understood the reason.
Although the Mohist men were disappointed with the imperial court, their desire to protect peace in their area and to ensure the people's peaceful and prosperous lives remained unchanged.
No one in the family would want to see barbarians invade Dashun and oppress the people.
What's more, the Mohist school now lives in the northwest. Although Yuncheng is some distance away from here, once the barbarians attack, they will sooner or later reach there.
