Chapter 1170: Trying to Cause Discord Again
ou are eager to question my fifth brother about his defeat in the last battle which resulted in the loss of a city. However, with the enemy attacking right now, why not give him a chance to redeem him...As for the topic that Mo Yunchen brought up, Mo Junyi pursed his lips and bowed his head, making it impossible for anyone to see what emotions were in his eyes.
Mo Yunchen tried to find something amiss on his face, but Mo Junyi was more composed than he expected. In this aspect, he resembled Mo Yunjing.
What makes Mo Yunchen angry about Mo Junyi is that he is his son, but his personality is exactly like Mo Yunjing's.
"Don't you really want to know what An Xuetang did to you"
Mo Junyi shook his head. "Your Majesty, I think there's no need."
"...."
Mo Yunchen narrowed his eyes, "You're serious You liked her so much before, don't you really want to know what she did to you all these days"
Mo Junyi let out a sudden smile. "Father, are you not believing that your son has already chosen to stand on the same side as you Since I agreed to help Father with the so-called explosives, I have chosen to stand by Your side. Therefore, no matter what Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt did, I don't care that much."
>"..."
No one expected him to say such things. Mo Yunchen naturally didn't believe it. After all, it was his own child; how could he not understand his temperament at all
But Mo Junyi wouldn't listen even if he didn't want to, because he wanted to say it.
He glanced at Mo Junyi thoughtfully, then chuckled softly, "Good! As expected of my good son. With the two of us joining forces, we'll surely be invincible in a hundred battles and this path will only lead upwards."
Mo Junyi curled his lips and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with what he said.
I thought Mo Yunchen would concede defeat and stop talking, but who knew he continued, "Well then, since you no longer have deep feelings for those two, there's nothing more Father needs to hide from you."
Mo Jun Yi: “...”
Just keep it to yourself. Honestly, I don't want to hear it.
Mo Yunchen didn't notice Mo Jinyi's impatient expression. At this moment, he spoke for himself, "Your fifth aunt is pregnant. This is also one of the reasons why your fifth uncle hasn't sent anyone to care about you recently. I guess you've already noticed it yourself. Your fifth uncle and fifth aunt have not been in touch with you for a long time, right"
“All of this is because they have their own child. No matter how good they were to you before, you are still my son after all. You’re just a stranger to An Xue Tang. Now that she has her own flesh and blood, it’s normal for her to ignore you. Of course, Father isn't telling you this for any other reason than to let you see the current situation clearly.”
Your fifth uncle and fifth aunt, having their own child, naturally would plan for their child's future. Therefore, Your Father recently received a secret letter revealing that your fifth uncle and fifth aunt have prepared to reclaim the North Border.
It seems your Uncle Five and Aunt Five want to rule this land, guarding the northern border and living their lives here.
"...That's all there is to it..."
Speaking of this, Mo Yunchen deliberately paused, took a deep look at Mo Juniyi, and sighed helplessly, "If that's the case, then our father and son will have no place to stand."
Mo Junyi seemed to casually interject, "How could that be It's probably the father king overthinking things. Fifth Uncle always cares about family. Even if he and Fifth Aunt return to Beijang and arrange for us to live in the city, it wouldn't be a difficult matter."
"You, you, still so naive. Don't you understand the saying 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers' Your father and your fifth uncle are not on the same path after all. Your fifth uncle won't help us, so once he comes back, we'll likely be kicked out."
"... "
Mo Junyi wasn't a fool. Since the conversation had reached this point, he knew Mo Yunchen was about to get to the heart of the matter.
As expected, after saying these words, Mo Yunchen patted Mo Junyi's shoulder with a seemingly helpless look. "So, your fifth uncle and aunt are making plans for their own children, and Father also wants to make plans for you. It wouldn't do for you to suffer along with Father."
Mo Junyi really didn't want to listen anymore. After all, his father wanted to find every way possible to seize his fifth uncle's possessions.
What they were plotting for him, the words sounded nice, but what was really going on in his mind, only he knew.
But since he'd said so much already, Mo Junyi could only continue, "So what does Father want to do"
"Keep the Beiqiang army firmly in our grasp. Even if we can't enter the capital in the future, we'll have hundreds of thousands of Beiqiang soldiers at our disposal. The emperor wouldn't dare to act against us lightly. You can still live a good life here."
"Zi Ling, you know better than anyone what my days have been like in the capital, don't you Confined to a dark and dreary prison day after day. Your father knows all too well what that kind of life is like, so he hopes with all his heart that you will never experience such a fate. Even if it means betraying your fifth uncle, your father will do everything in his power to secure your future here in the Northern Frontier."
"..."
Mo Jun, though his expression remained unchanged, had already sneered several times in his heart. No matter how eloquently Mo Yunchen spoke, it couldn't conceal his greedy intentions.
Mo Yunchen's gaze was always fixed on Mo Junyi's small face, wanting to capture every emotion he showed. "Ziling, what do you think of your father's actions"
"My father did all this for me. I would never be so ungrateful as to say a single bad word about him."
"Great! You said it!"
Mo Yunchen laughed heartily a few times, "Truly worthy of being Father King's good son. Since you also agree with Father King's actions, then... can you now safely hand over the military talisman in your hand"
"! "
Lei Hong's lips twitched, and she felt a pang of sympathy. She had heard what Mo Yunchen said just now, word for word. It was the first time she had ever heard him speak to them with such kindness and respect.
Whether the prince was moved, he didn't know, but just now he almost believed it.
Now... all he wants to do is roll his eyes. He thinks back on how much effort Mo Yunchen just wasted, and it turns out he was waiting for this.
Mo Junyi wasn't surprised at all. He didn't believe a word his father said. He knew exactly what his fifth uncle and aunt were like better than anyone else, so he wouldn't be swayed by other people's idle chatter.
He knew his father king must have a plan, but he didn't expect that his father king still had thoughts about the military orders.
Mo Junyi now wore a look of surprise, his expression filled with confusion as he stared at Mo Yunchen:
"Father, I believe I've already told you this. Fifth Uncle did give me the military talisman at first, but...but General Yunyi took it from me before he left. So, I truly don't have the talisman on me."
At his words, Mo Yunchen's face instantly darkened. "Mo Junyi, are you still going to choose to keep concealing it"y hadn't noticed anything amiss, and at this moment, he was incredibly bold. He had already rushed to the edge of the bed and stared curiously at Mo Junyi with his round eyes. He looked left and righ...
