"Prince Xuanyuan, your words are a bit too serious. Although war and chaos have arisen between Heavenly Sage and Wu Huan, it does not affect the original intention of me to invite Prince Xuanyuan. " Mo Yun explained.
However, these words could not be analyzed in detail.
Xuanyuan Chen turned his head to the side slightly, causing Mo Yun to immediately hide his gloomy face, and return to his harmless appearance.
"There's no need for Elder Mo to say such exaggerated words to me. There's Wu Huan standing behind Elder Mo and the Heavenly Saint standing behind him alone. Regardless of what Elder Mo's original intention was, it could not change the opposing stance between Elder Gu and Elder Mo. Therefore, there's no need for this banquet. "
Xuanyuan Chen said in a cold voice, the meaning hidden behind his words clearly stating his position.
However, Elder Mo acted as if he did not feel anything. He smirked and said, "Since Crown Prince Xuanyuan is so merciless, I can't say anything more. However, I hope that Crown Prince Xuanyuan can give me some face and help me out of this banquet."
Seeing Xuanyuan Chen's cold and handsome face, a few traces of hesitation flashed across. Then, he said, "Could it be that Prince Xuanyuan isn't even willing to give me this little face? Today's banquet did not talk about national affairs, nor about family matters. "It's just that I'm a bit too thin."
After Xuanyuan Chen heard Mo Yun's words, he seemed to be a little hesitant and glanced sideways at Xie Qingrong. Xie Qingrong immediately understood and thought that she had done it in an extremely secretive manner, but in reality, she was intentionally exposing herself in front of Mo Yun.
Pulling on Xuanyuan Chen's sleeve, he nodded at him.
Xuanyuan Chen then revealed a smile, "Since Elder Mo has already asked me to keep you here, I think it would not be good for me to give Elder Mo any more face."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Xie Qingrong's hand and returned to his seat.
Although there was a smile on Mo Yun's face, the anger in his heart burned hotter and hotter. The hand hidden in his sleeve tightened, then relaxed, and tightened again.
In this banquet, the two people who wanted to probe each other had not found the result they wanted, but Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong had not lost a single bit of face, and had even caused Mo Yun to lose face.
However, Mo Yun was not feeling so good anymore.
The hand with the handkerchief wiped it vigorously, as if venting its anger.
As a result, he also missed the chance for Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen to be surprised when they saw him take out her handkerchief.
After seeing Mo Yun excessively wipe it out, and throwing it aside, Xie Qingrong smiled and probed: "Clan Elder Mo is making this handkerchief somewhat exquisite, I wonder where this embroidery lady would get such an extraordinary beauty. When I saw it, she also wanted to ask this embroidery lady to embroider a beautiful kernels for him. "
Hearing Xie Qingrong's words, Mo Yun looked at the handkerchief that he had casually thrown away and sneered in his heart, "It's just a kernels, since it's something that the Crown Princess likes. I just need to take out a new piece of kernels and give it to the princess.
As he said that, he took out a new handkerchief and handed it over to Xie Qingrong.
This time, Xuanyuan Chen was for the first time not jealous, nor did he secretly mock Mo Yun's actions. Instead, he looked at his handkerchief with a thoughtful expression.
"Crown Prince Xuanyuan, if it's possible, please help me pass a message to Emperor Xuanyuan." Mo Yun requested.
"Hmm? What do you mean? " Xuanyuan Chen asked with a bit of hesitation in his heart.
"Help me tell Emperor Xuanyuan, 'I, Mo Yun, will use my own way to seek justice for whatever Emperor Taizu did to the Mo Family.'"
After Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen bid farewell to Mo Yun, they sat in the carriage heading back to the barracks. Xie Qingrong carefully examined the handkerchief Mo Yun had just given her.
He felt that the pattern on the handkerchief was a bit familiar. It seemed that he had seen it before but couldn't recall where.
That was why she wanted to probe him out with her words. She didn't expect Mo Yun to just give her the handkerchief.
"Chen, have you seen this picture before?" Xie Qingrong asked as she pointed the pattern on the handkerchief to Xuanyuan Chen's line of sight.
Xuanyuan Chen muttered to himself for a bit and replied: "It looks a bit familiar."
Something flashed in his mind and then disappeared. When he tried to carefully search for it, he couldn't find any trace of it.
"I also feel that it's a bit familiar." Xie Qingrong thought for a while, then continued: "What Mo Yun said just now, are you really going to tell royal father?"
She was slightly worried, as if something was out of her control.
Xuanyuan Chen held onto Xie Qingrong's fingertip, nodded at Xie Qingrong and said: "I will tell royal father about this matter, but I will still have to ask royal father in more detail what exactly happened between Emperor Taizu and the Mo family back then."
After returning to the army camp, Xie Qingrong opened a wooden box she brought with him before. Inside the wooden box was a barbed needle, and this barb had almost stolen Xie Qingrong's name.
At that time, after searching for a long time, he could not find out where the pattern on the reverse spike came from.
Xie Qingrong held the blade in one hand and the kernels that Mo Yun had just gave her in the other. Compared to the pattern between the two, it was exactly the same.
Could it be that this barb came from the Mo family?
"Could it be that this pattern is the totem of the Mo family?" Xie Qingrong asked as she handed the handkerchief and the barbed needle to Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen caressed the smooth barb and pondered for a moment before speaking, "The patterns on the barb just happen to match the ones on the handkerchief. If it was a coincidence, it might not have been such a coincidence. However, I have something that I don't understand. Why did Mo Yun attack you at that time? "
Hearing that, Xie Qingrong frowned, she suddenly thought of something, "Back then, before I fell into the water, I saw a servant, but when I was fixing up the general's residence, that servant seemed to have disappeared, as if she had never appeared."
At that time, she had no foundation in the capital, so she could not openly or covertly send people to search for the whereabouts of that servant girl. After the profound mechanism was established, there was not a single trace of that servant girl.
Xuanyuan Chen returned to his chair and poured himself a cup of hot tea. With both hands holding the teacup, the hot air made it difficult to see his expression, which made his handsome appearance even more handsome.
"That maid is very suspicious. Shadow first searched for a month, but was unable to find any trace of her presence. After appearing out of thin air and disappearing into thin air, it's extremely strange. " Xuanyuan Chen said coldly with an inexplicable expression.
Xie Qingrong rubbed her forehead that was hurting a little, "Leave the maid matter to the side for now, no matter who it is, as long as she appears, they will definitely reveal it, it's just a matter of time. The most important thing to do now is to make sure that the pattern on the kernels and reverse prick are really the totems of the Mo family. "
If it was confirmed that this pattern was the totem of the Mo family, then it would be known that the three Lifesteal Feather Arrows were the doing of the Mo family. If it was really the doing of the Mo family, then what was their goal?
