Chapter 80: I thank the Prince for the Mohism’s concern

Chapter 80

Nan Qi did not know if he was somewhat sensitive, but after hearing He Zhiran's words that were a little yin and yang, he suddenly remembered the scene he saw upstairs that day when Fei Nanyu was being bullied.

At that time, he had observed for a long time and saw that although Fei Nanyu was bullied by those people and had no power to fight back, the pride of a scholar still remained.

Master Wu Chen said that his noble person was by no means an ordinary person.

And his first feeling when he saw Fei Nanyu had a little meaning of being by no means an ordinary person.

Just because he hesitated for that moment, wanting to confirm again, the matter of saving people was seized by He Zhiran.

So Nan Qi and Fei Nanyu's first affinity was lost.

Thinking of these things, Nan Qi looked sharply at He Zhiran.

"Sister-in-law is right. To draw the sword to help the unfair, I think anyone in the world who has some blood would do the same."

In fact, Nan Qi did not know that when He Zhiran asked the question with meaning, ostensibly she was asking Nan Qi, but she was actually speaking for Fei Nanyu to hear.

With her depth of wisdom recorded in the history books, she could not have failed to understand.

When she said those words, He Zhiran's side vision kept staring at Fei Nanyu's expression from time to time.

Sure enough, after Fei Nanyu heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

He wondered in his heart, could this woman know something?

After thinking about it carefully, he soon let it go. With such a big secret, this woman could not possibly know.

Although Fei Nanyu had doubts in his heart, He Zhiran had just spoken to Nan Qi. If he said more, it would appear suspicious.

He Zhiran achieved her goal and did not speak again.

Nan Qi looked around the inn environment and sighed.

"Jiu Ye, I am really ashamed about the banishment of the Duke of Protector’s residence. Recently my imperial concubine mother has been in poor health, and I have been busy looking for a good doctor, so I did not pay much attention to court news during this period.

When I learned about this, you were already on the road to exile in Pingyuan County, so I hurried here, thinking of helping the Mo Family settle down."

Mo Jiuye tapped the table habitually with his fingers, trying hard to restrain the anger in his heart, and continued to act out the play of deep brotherhood with him here.

Although this is not very meaningful, at least there will be one less person calculating against us on the road to exile in the future."

For someone like Nan Qi, He Zhiran indeed felt a sense of satisfaction from killing him, but what Mo Jiuye said made sense.

In addition to himself, the Mo family had so many women and children. His sisters-in-law and their natal families were all in the capital city. Once Nan Qi died, the emperor's wrath would surely implicate those relatives.

"In that case, may I accompany you to the banquet tomorrow?"

Mo Jiuye rejected without even thinking about it, in an unquestionable tone.

"No, I cannot let you take the risk with me."

He Zhiran’s proposal to accompany him to the banquet naturally had some consideration.

Not to mention the various high-tech weapons in her space, the most important thing was that if Nan Qi poisoned the food and wine, with her by his side, Mo Jiuye would have an extra layer of protection.

In order to persuade Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran really went all out.

Taking advantage of her sleeve to conceal her actions, she took out a mini pistol from her space.

She placed the gun in front of Mo Jiuye.

"Do you believe that even with your skills, you cannot escape my weapon?"

Mo Jiuye looked at the piece of iron in front of him not even as big as his palm, and picked it up with great interest to play with it.

Seeing that his hand touched the trigger, He Zhiran hurriedly reminded him verbally.

"That's the switch, don't mess with it."

Mo Jiuye was very obedient, and his fingers immediately left the trigger position.

He looked up at He Zhiran, "I didn't see that such a small piece of iron could have such great power?"

In the current environment, He Zhiran could not demonstrate the power of the mini pistol to Mo Jiuye either, so she could only explain patiently.

"Cao Ren's death was caused by a similar weapon."

He Zhiran had already implicitly admitted that Cao Ren's death was her doing.

Speaking of Cao Ren's death, Mo Jiuye had witnessed the entire assassination process with his own eyes.
