Qi Hu's matter had finally come to an end. The entire Imperial City seemed to have regained its calm, leaving behind only Xu Tianshu and Liu Li, the two of them being the influential generals of the Imperial Court. If the two of them were to be eliminated, then there was nothing left for Mo Yu to do.

"Your Highness, the emperor invites you to visit the Imperial Hall …" It was Eunuch Li's voice, and Duan Xingyi was slightly shocked in his heart. He had accompanied Duan Chen to drink tea in the morning, but when it came to tea, Duan Xingyi couldn't help but admire Duan Chen's body. This type of tea contained poison that was specially made by him.

"Did royal father say what it was?" Duan Xingyi walked out of the palace door and looked at Eunuch Li with suspicion.

"In reply to Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor did not say anything, but …" Just now, around and around the general had sought the emperor's help. As for what it is, this old servant does not know. " Eunuch Li said truthfully.

"Is that so …" Duan Xingyi's gaze turned slightly cold. He was just thinking of how to deal with these two old fogeys when he didn't expect that he would come knocking on his door! He wanted to see what kind of tricks Xu Tianshu and Liu Li could pull! Duan Xingyi confidently walked towards the Imperial Hall.

Even before arriving at the Imperial Hall, Duan Xingyi had already heard Duan Chen's sigh.

"This son greets royal father. May I ask why royal father sighs?" Duan Xingyi respectfully saluted and spoke worriedly.

"Sigh …" "I'm thinking that I've gone too far with Dou Jing and Qi Hu …" Duan Chen sat at the side of the table, his gaze devoid of any trace of the luster from the past. Seeing Duan Chen so dejectedly standing there, Duan Xingyi could not help but snort disdainfully.

"Why did royal father suddenly think of all these?" Duan Xingyi stood up and walked over to Duan Chen's side as he questioned him suspiciously.

"General Xu Tianshu and Liu Li both came to ask for their leave just now, saying that they would return home from old age. How old are they?" He is more than ten years younger than me, how can he be older? Perhaps it was because they had seen the result of Dou Jing and Qi Hu's actions that their hearts had been chilled? "Just because they didn't say anything doesn't mean that I don't know. As for Zhu Xu, he hasn't shown up in court very often recently and said that he was sick in bed. But I know that Dou Jing's matter has made him sad …" Duan Chen said dejectedly, his eyes filled with mist. He didn't know why, but he had been dreaming about Dou Jing recently, dreaming about the past. However, when he woke up, when he looked in the mirror, he saw that he was already an old man with white hair.

"Father, it's all your fault. If it wasn't for you taking over a peaceful Mo River for your son, I wouldn't be so harsh to Dou Jing and Qi Hu. They don't understand your pains, I, Ke Er, do!" royal father … It was this son who made things difficult for you. " Duan Xingyi looked at Duan Chen with gratitude, but he was actually a bit surprised. Xu Tianshu and Liu Li would return home because of their age? Even so, they could not live in this world. If there was any trouble, with their temperament, they would naturally return. Only the dead could never go to war.

"Yi'er, it's best that you understand royal father's painstaking efforts. royal father loves those old subjects, but royal father loves you even more, and loves the Great Mo River Mountain even more. "As long as you can sit safely in my place, everything that I have done is worth it." Duan Chen's eyes were filled with hope as he looked at Duan Xingyi, and his eyes emitted deep love and concern.

"Father, don't worry. This son will definitely not disappoint you. Then …" royal father will allow the two generals to leave? " Duan Xingyi probed.

Yi'er, royal father's health is getting worse and worse, and soon, he will be giving you the throne. From now on, it will be time for you to cultivate your own strength, and once you go to court, you will have one court official after another. If you do what you want, Royal Father will definitely support you! Duan Chen earnestly said, full of hope for his son.

"This son will definitely not disappoint royal father!" Duan Chen, oh Duan Chen, don't worry. When you're still alive, I will definitely overturn the Mo Clan. When that time comes, I really want to see what kind of expression you have on your face.

At the Spring Festival, Duan Moyan was listening to Yan Wuhen's report. Luckily, Qi Hu had been rescued by her, so there was an extra helper when he attacked Duan Chen the other day.

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, this one also heard another piece of news. It was on the day of Qi Hu's funeral, and it seems that General Zuo had mentioned he wanted to return to his homeland!" From the looks of it, they don't seem to be fake! " Yan Wuhen recalled.

Even though I'm not in the imperial court, I'm still clear on the personality of those people. Xu Tianshu and Liu Li are naturally rare generals, but they aren't as stubborn as Dou Jing. Now that the imperial court seems to be trying to persecute the martial general, they can naturally feel that it's not a bad idea for them to return to their hometowns. The reason why the Mo Clan was so indestructible was partly because of the authority of these old officials of theirs. Once they switched generals, the military would definitely be in chaos. If an enemy invaded at this time, the consequences would be dire.

"Pavilion Master, do you think Xu Tianshu and Liu Li will join us?" Yan Wuhen asked doubtfully.

If they return to their hometowns, they will definitely send someone to protect them in the dark. If they can return to their hometowns safely, then we can let Dou Jing rebel against them in the future. If we encounter any ambushes along the way, we can just bring them in. Duan Mu Yan calmly analyzed.

"The Pavilion Master thinks that someone will try to assassinate them?"

"Maybe. Judging by how Duan Xingyi chased after Dou Jing and Qi Hu, it's not hard to guess what happened to Xu Tianshu and Liu Li." When he thought of Duan Xingyi, an indescribable emotion suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart. Even though Duan Xingyi was ruthless and merciless, from the very beginning to the end, when he was in the greatest danger, it was him who kept his out of danger. Even though he did not want to owe him so much, the truth was like this.

At this moment, Yan Wuhen's sword-like eyebrows slightly knitted together.

"Pavilion Master, a strong martial arts expert has arrived! "Since it's inconvenient for me to stay, I will take my leave first!" Duan Mu Yan's eyes flickered as he faintly nodded his head. Just as Yan Wuhen left, Yao'er's voice rang out from outside.

"Sir, are you following the rules?" Yao'er's voice was loud, obviously informing Duan Mu Yan within the room.

"Of course, otherwise would Sister Hua let me come up?" Yao'er had seen Xiao Yuxuan, seen Xiao Lingfeng and Duan Xingyi, but compared to the man in front of her, the man in front of her was a lot more captivating, and even though Yao'er was a person with a clear mind like this, she couldn't help but stare blankly at the scene.

"Miss, may I ask if Miss Meng Yan is here?" Sensing Yao'er's absent-mindedness, Shangguan Wuye pursed his lips and asked softly.

"Ugh …" Miss is inside... "Please wait a moment …" When Yao'er pushed the door open, Duan Mu Yan caught sight of her peerless beauty through the crack in the door. Her impression of Shangguan Wuye was still at the stage where he had intentionally been frivolous in the Palace of the Moon, and as for the antidote he had given her later, it was most likely not on his own volition. Naturally, she would not accept that kindness. However, she did not understand why the dignified Palace Master Yue Hua would suddenly appear here. Furthermore, he even mentioned by name that he wanted to meet her. The Holy Maiden by his side was as beautiful as a flower … Uh! Duan Mu Yan was startled. Yes, Lady Cai Die was someone from the Moon Flower Hall. Without a doubt, she must have told Shangguan Wu Ye about her disguise, which was why he had investigated everything.

"Miss, outside …" Before Yao'er could open her mouth, Duan Mu Yan nodded to her. Yao'er understood tacitly, turning around to invite Shangguan Wuye into the house, before closing the door tightly behind her.

"Young master, what's your name?" Duan Muyan said in a gentle voice, looking at Shangguan Wuye. She was clearly a man, but she looked even more charming than a woman.

"My name is Shangguan Wuye. Lady Meng Yan, you can call me Wuye …" Shangguan Wuye sat opposite Duan Muyan as she spoke, her phoenix-like eyes sized up the girl in front of him. According to Cai Die, this person could change her appearance, and could easily turn into such a celestial beauty, she must be a very beautiful person. Although Shangguan Wuye was not a good person, but he was very interested in this person.

"Let's still call him Master Shangguan? I wonder if Sir came to the Purple Butterfly Pavilion to listen to a song or if Sir wanted to go against me by reciting a poem? " Her soft voice contained a trace of coldness, Duan Muyan did not like Shangguan Wuye's exceptionally enchanting smile. Somehow, the moment she saw Shangguan Wuye, she would think of Gui Luosha. At this moment, she even suspected that Shangguan Wuye was also a dual cultivator.

"Cough, cough …" [I may be a man of peerless beauty, but I am definitely a man in blood!] If Miss Meng Yan does not believe it, you can experience it for yourself! " Shangguan Wu Ye could feel the disdain in Duan Mu Yan's gaze. This was the first time he had been despised because of his looks.

"Meng Yan doesn't understand what Master Shangguan means?" Duan Mu Yan was surprised by Shangguan Wu Ye's observation skills. She had only suspected a little herself, and he had already seen through her with a single glance.

"Although the Moon Palace is not a powerful place, nothing that happens in the martial arts world can still be hidden from the Moon Palace. I heard that Miss and some people killed Gui Luosha in the wilderness, I am really curious about what kind of woman has such ability. I think Gui Luosha is not someone that can be dealt with by normal people!" Shangguan Wuye really wanted to guess Duan Mu Yan's identity from the clues, but when he first entered, he felt his aura. If she wasn't hiding his powers too deeply, it was because she didn't know any martial arts.

"Young master, are you talking about Ni Chang? This person is a scum, Meng Yan only helped her because she accepted the request of the servant girl beside her. As for killing Ni Chang, that has nothing to do with Meng Yan, since Meng Yan doesn't know martial arts, so how could she be a match for Ni Chang? " Duan Mu Yan did not expect Shangguan Wu Ye to introduce himself, so she replied softly.

"In any case, young lady is quite bold and knowledgeable. It's a pity that you're staying at the Spring Festival. If young lady is willing, I can bring young lady back to the Moon Flower Palace and bestow her the title of Saint Girl. Compared to this place, the Moon Flower Palace can be considered as a home, right?" Shangguan Wuye's voice was sincere.
