I don't know if Nan Qi is a little sensitive. After hearing He Zhiran's somewhat sinister words, he immediately remembered the scene when he saw Fei Nanyu being bullied upstairs that day.
He observed for a long time at that time and saw that although Fei Nanyu was bullied by those people and was unable to fight back, his pride as a scholar was still intact.
Master Wuchen said that his noble man is definitely not a creature in the pond.
And his first impression when he saw Fei Nanyu was that he was definitely not a thing in the pool.
Just because he hesitated for a moment and wanted to confirm the time again, He Zhiran took the lead in rescuing people.
As a result, Nan Qi missed his first chance encounter with Fei Nanyu.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi looked at He Zhiran with sharp eyes.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is absolutely right. When the road is rough, draw your sword to help. I think everyone in the world will do this if they are bloody."
In fact, Nan Qi didn't know, but He knew that Ran Yi was clearly asking Nan Qi, but he was actually talking to Fei Nanyu.
With the depth of his city recorded in history books, it is impossible not to understand.
When he said that sentence, He Zhiran stared at Fei Nanyu's expression from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Fei Nanyu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to his original state.
He was wondering in his mind, did this woman know something?
Thinking about it carefully, he soon felt relieved that there was no way this woman would know such a big secret.
Although Fei Nanyu had some concerns in his mind, He Zhiran's words just now were clearly meant for Nan Qi. If he said anything more, he would be suspected of not having three hundred taels of silver in this place.
He Zhiran's goal was achieved and he stopped talking.
Nan Qi glanced around the environment of the inn and sighed.
"Jiuye, I'm really ashamed to say that I was exiled from the Protector's Palace. My mother-in-law has been unwell recently, and I have been busy looking for good doctors outside, so I haven't paid much attention to the news from the DPRK and China during this time.
When I learned about this, you were already on the road to exile, so I quickly rushed to Pingyuan County, thinking of helping the Mo family. "
Mo Jiuye tapped his fingers on the table as a habit, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart and continue to accompany him to perform the drama of brotherly love here.
"I would like to thank the prince for his concern on behalf of the Mo family. There is no need to take care of it. We are all prisoners exiled by the imperial court. We can live whatever life we want in the future. We don't dare to have any extravagant expectations."
Listening to 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 felt relieved. He did want Mo Jiuye's life, but he didn't have the courage to say so in front of the latter.
He knew Mo Jiuye's martial arts best. It was no exaggeration to say that one could defeat a hundred. Nan Qi was not stupid enough to confront him head-on.
If the assassination fails, the best way is to outsmart him. Nan Qi came here today not only to test whether Mo Jiuye was seriously injured, but also to find an opportunity to poison him.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi calmed down and said:
"We are brothers, and I was not here when the Protector's house was confiscated and exiled. You must give me a chance to see him off, right?"
Mo Jiuye lowered his eyes, and no one could see his ups and downs of emotions at this moment.
"In that case, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful." Mo Jiuye knew Nan Qi's conspiracy and did not refuse.
He wanted to see what other tricks Nan Qi would play.
He Zhiran was not at peace at the moment. Nan Qi proposed to see Mo Jiuye off. This was a rare opportunity to find out the other party's thoughts and he must not let it go.
Fortunately, Mo Jiuye agreed immediately, eliminating the need for her to remind him.
Nan Qi stood up: "In that case, I will hold a banquet at Tianfu Restaurant in Pingyuan County at noon tomorrow to see you off, brother."
By the time he finished speaking, Nan Qi had already walked to the door of the room, and finally said: "Don't worry about the officials, I will personally tell them to stay here for one more day."
Mo Jiuye did not stand up to see him off, but still sat in his original position.
Fei Nanyu followed Nan Qi with one hand behind his back and swayed back and forth in the direction of the two of them.
Both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran saw his little move.
"He probably means that he doesn't recommend that you go to 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 grudge between me and Nan Qi must be settled."
He Zhiran didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Are you planning to kill Nan Qi?"
Mo Jiuye shook his head: "No, once I do that, I can get temporary happiness, but if that happens, where will I put my family?"
He Zhiran was even more confused.
"Since you can't kill him, how can you settle the grudge?"
"I want to tell him the fact that I am from the Mo family, and let him know that I am not the one who fell out with him.
If I can successfully resolve the misunderstanding, I will cut off my ties with him on the spot, and the brotherhood will end here.
Although this does not mean much, at least it will save one person from plotting against us on the road to exile in the future. "
When dealing with people like Nan Qi, He Zhiran did feel like killing him quickly. However, what Mo Jiuye said did make sense.
In addition to himself, the Mo family has so many female relatives. The sisters-in-law and her natal family 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, can you take me with you to the banquet tomorrow?"
Mo Jiuye refused without even thinking, with a tone that left no room for doubt.
"No, I can't let you take risks with me."
He Zhiran naturally had certain considerations when he proposed to accompany him to the banquet.
Not to mention the various high-tech weapons in her space, the most important thing is that if Nan Qi poisons the food and wine, having her with him will give Mo Jiuye an extra layer of protection.
In order to convince Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran really tried his best.
She used the cover of her cuffs to take 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 iron lump in front of him that was no bigger than his own palm, and picked it up to play with with interest.
Seeing his hand touching the trigger, He Zhiran quickly warned him.
"There's a switch there, don't touch it."
Mo Jiuye was very obedient and her finger immediately left the trigger position.
He raised his head and looked at He Zhiran: "Why didn't I see that such a small iron lump could have such great power?"
Under the current circumstances, He Zhiran couldn't show Mo Jiuye the power of the mini pistol, so he could only explain patiently.
"Cao Ren's death was caused by weapons like this."
He Zhiran had already unconsciously admitted that Cao Ren's death was his own fault.
Speaking of Cao Ren's death, Mo Jiuye witnessed the entire assassination process with his own eyes.
