Chapter 80 I thank the prince for his concern on behalf of the Mo family
I don’t know if Nan Qi is a little sensitive, but after hearing He Zhiran’s sarcastic words, he immediately remembered the scene that day when he saw Fei Nanyu being bullied upstairs.
He observed for a long time at that time and saw that although Fei Nanyu was bullied by those people and had no ability to fight back, he still had the pride of a scholar.
Master Wu Chen said that his benefactor was definitely not an ordinary person.
And his first impression of Fei Nanyu was that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Just because he hesitated for a moment and wanted to confirm the time again, He Zhiran took the lead in saving people.
As a result, Nan Qi missed her first encounter with Fei Nanyu.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi looked at He Zhiran with sharp eyes.
"My sister-in-law is absolutely right. Seeing injustice, we should draw our swords and help. I think anyone with a bit of blood in their veins would do the same."
In fact, Nan Qi didn't know that He Zhiran's question, which was asked with a hint of meaning, was apparently asked to Nan Qi, but was actually spoken to Fei Nanyu.
Judging from the historical records of his cunningness, it is impossible for him not to understand.
When saying that, He Zhiran would occasionally stare at Fei Nanyu's expression out of the corner of his eyes.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Fei Nanyu was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He was wondering in his heart, could it be that this woman knew something?
After thinking about it carefully, he soon let it go. There was no way this woman could know such a big secret.
Although Fei Nanyu had a plan in mind, He Zhiran's words just now were clearly directed at Nan Qi. If he said anything more, he would be suspected of trying to cover up his guilt.
He Zhiran achieved his goal and stopped talking.
Nan Qi glanced around the inn and sighed.
"Jiuye, I'm really ashamed to say that the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was exiled. My mother has been unwell recently, and I've been busy looking for a good doctor. As a result, I haven't paid much attention to the news in the court during this period.
When I learned of this, you had already embarked on the road to exile, so I rushed to Pingyuan County at full speed, intending to help the Mo family. "
Mo Jiuye tapped the table with his fingers out of habit, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and continued to accompany him here to perform the drama of deep brotherly love.
"I thank the prince for his concern on behalf of the Mo family. There's no need to arrange anything. We are all prisoners exiled by the court. We will live our future lives as they are meant to be. We don't dare to have any extravagant expectations."
Hearing the tone of Mo Jiuye's speech, Nan Qi suddenly felt that the person in front of him who had grown up with him seemed to have become a stranger.
Could it be that Mo Jiuye discovered something?
But he soon let it go. He did want Mo Jiuye's life, but he didn't have the courage to say it in front of the latter.
He knew Mo Jiuye's martial arts best. It was no exaggeration to say that he could fight against a hundred people at once. Nan Qi was not stupid enough to confront him head-on.
If the assassination fails, the best way is to use wits. Nan Qi came here today, on the one hand to test the severity of Mo Jiuye's injury, and on the other hand to find an opportunity to poison him.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi calmed down and said:
"We are brothers. I wasn't there when the Duke of Protectorate's mansion was confiscated and exiled. You should at least give me a chance to see him off, right?"
Mo Jiuye lowered his eyes, and no one could see the fluctuations in his emotions at the moment.
"In that case, I'd better obey your command." Mo Jiuye knew Nan Qi's conspiracy and did not refuse.
He wanted to see what tricks Nan Qi would play next.
He Zhiran was also feeling uneasy at this moment. Nan Qi offered to see Mo Jiuye off. This was a rare opportunity to find out the other person's thoughts, and he must not miss it.
Fortunately, Mo Jiuye agreed immediately, saving her the trouble of reminding him.
Nan Qi stood up and said, "In that case, I will host a banquet at Tianfu Restaurant in Pingyuan County at noon tomorrow to see you off, brother."
Nan Qi had already walked to the door of the room when he finished speaking. He finally said, "Don't worry about the officials. I will personally tell them to stay here for another day."
Mo Jiuye did not stand up to see him off, but remained sitting in his original seat.
Fei Nanyu followed behind Nan Qi, with one hand behind his back, swaying back and forth in the direction of the two of them.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both saw his little movements.
"He probably means that he doesn't recommend you to attend the banquet." This is how He Zhiran understood Fei Nanyu's actions.
Mo Jiuye still maintained his original sitting posture.
"I must go. No matter what, the feud between Nan Qi and I must be resolved."
He Zhiran didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Are you planning to kill Nan Qi?"
Mo Jiuye shook his head: "No, if I do that, I will feel happy for a while, but if I do that, where will my family be?"
He Zhiran was even more confused.
"Since you can't kill him, how can we settle the grudge?"
"I want to tell him that I am a member of the Mo family, so that he knows that I am not the one who switched things with him.
If I can successfully resolve the misunderstanding, I will sever all ties with him right then and there, and our brotherhood will end there.
Although this may not be very meaningful, at least it will prevent someone from plotting against us in the future of Path of Exile."
When dealing with someone like Nan Qi, He Zhiran did feel like killing him as soon as possible. However, what Mo Jiuye said did make sense.
Besides himself, there are so many female relatives in the Mo family. His sisters-in-law and their families are all in the capital. Once Nan Qi is killed, the emperor will be furious, and those relatives will definitely be implicated.
"In that case, could you take me with you to the banquet tomorrow?"
Mo Jiuye refused without a second thought, his tone leaving no room for questioning.
"No, I can't let you take this risk with me."
He Zhiran proposed to accompany him to the banquet, naturally he had certain considerations.
Not to mention that there are various high-tech weapons in her space, the most important thing is that if Nan Qi poisons the food and wine, with her along, Mo Jiuye will have an extra layer of protection.
In order to convince Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran really tried his best.
Using her sleeves as a cover, she pulled out a mini pistol from the space.
She placed the pistol in front of Mo Jiuye.
"Do you believe it or not? Even with your kung fu, you can't escape this weapon of mine?"
Mo Jiuye looked at the lump of iron in front of him, which was not even as big as his palm, and picked it up to play with it with great interest.
Seeing his hand touching the trigger, He Zhiran quickly reminded him.
"That's the switch, don't touch it."
Mo Jiuye was very obedient and immediately took his finger off the trigger.
He looked up at He Zhiran: "How come I didn't realize that such a small piece of iron could have such great power?"
Under the current circumstances, He Zhiran was unable to demonstrate the power of the mini pistol to Mo Jiuye, and could only patiently explain.
"Cao Ren's death was caused by weapons like this."
He Zhiran has implicitly admitted that Cao Ren's death was his fault.
Speaking of Cao Ren’s death, Mo Jiuye witnessed the entire assassination process with his own eyes.
