"Xiao Bai, whether you can succeed or not depends on you."
Xiaobai seemed to be able to understand his master's words, and responded with a gentle cry.
Neither Fifth Brother nor Sixth Brother understands Ninth Brother's operation. They don't believe that Xiaobai just shouted that and it can be regarded as a response?
They even don't believe that Fantuan'er, who is obviously Mr. Simeng's pet, can become the ninth brother after being tamed?
After all, this little thing has been with Mr. Simeng for a longer time. If he meets the original owner, there is no guarantee that he will not recognize him as his master again.
Mo Jiuye didn't know that his two brothers were worried. He was also counting the time in his mind at the moment.
They rushed to the capital from the northwest and spent half a month working hard.
If the two southern Xinjiang people arrived in the northwest and successfully found Xiaobai, they would definitely return to the capital as quickly as possible.
Of course, what he calculated was the shortest time.
When the two southern Xinjiang people arrived in the northwest, even if everything went well, they would never be able to find Xiao Bai right away. Therefore, he planned to push back the time to avoid making the other party suspicious.
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, let's hold off on taking action for the next few days, find a place to settle down, and observe what's going on in the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Brother Six obviously didn't think as much as Mo Jiuye.
"Ninth brother, since we have discovered the clues, why didn't you go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to look for the person earlier?"
Mo Jiuye told his two brothers what he was thinking. The fifth brother agreed: "What the ninth brother said makes sense. We finally have a clue. We must not act recklessly."
In the end, the three brothers discussed and decided to temporarily hide in the yard of the two southern Xinjiang people.
Anyway, they are dead and will never come back. It is much safer than showing up to find an inn or renting a house.
Of course, they must also be wary of Mr. Simeng's spy finding this place, and try to avoid going out or taking other actions as much as possible.
The Mohist brothers have good facial features and are tall and strong, making them very conspicuous in the crowd.
Besides, many people in the capital recognize them, so it is very necessary to live in seclusion.
Of course, you can send one person out when purchasing some ingredients.
When Mo Jiuye left home, He Zhiran prepared some makeup tools for him. Although his skills were not so skilled as to completely change a person's appearance, he could still do it with a simple disguise.
The three brothers did not go through the main entrance, but used Qinggong to jump from the wall into the courtyard.
You can see by the moonlight that the yard is not big, but it is very neat. There is a well in the center, and there are two main rooms opposite the gate.
There is a small wing room in the east and west, one is empty, and the other is a kitchen.
The fifth brother and the sixth brother opened the doors of the two main rooms at the same time. The furnishings of the rooms were basically the same. Facing the door was a bed with a round table in the center and wardrobes on both sides.
For fear of being discovered, the brothers had no intention of lighting the oil lamp, but groped their way in by moonlight.
After checking and seeing that there was no danger, the fifth brother said, "Ninth brother, you have a room by yourself. Sixth brother and I are here."
"good."
After traveling for days, Mo Jiuye was indeed a little tired. After he responded, the brothers went to rest.
Mo Jiuye lay on the bed and did not fall asleep immediately.
He was thinking carefully about going to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to investigate.
According to the confessions of people in southern Xinjiang, they have never met Mr. Simeng, which means they do not know his appearance.
However, Mr. Simeng was looking for these two people to do something in the dark, so he would inevitably observe them secretly. Therefore, Mr. Simeng was very likely to know what these two people looked like.
If this is the case, even if they send Xiaobai to the Nine Princes' Mansion, their identity will definitely be discovered.
Even though he tried hard to disguise himself, their brothers' bodies were completely different from those of the two southerners.
In this case, there is no need for their brothers to hide it.
If people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion come out to get Xiaobai, their brothers will find an opportunity to sneak into the palace. Once Mr. Simeng comes to pick him up in person, they will have to catch him on the spot no matter how hard they work.
Of course, the forces of the Ninth Prince's Mansion also need to be wary. The Ninth Prince's ability to collude with Mr. Simeng must not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
But it does not rule out another possibility, that is, the Ninth Prince, like Nan Rui, has some leverage to be taken by Mr. Simeng, so he is willing to do this.
No matter what, these are matters in the Dashun court, and he will not care about the fights between those in power as long as they do not harm the interests of the people and his Mohist family.
Maybe it was because he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. The more Mo Jiuye thought about it, the more confused his mind became. At some point, he gradually fell asleep.
Mo Jiuye always slept lightly, and when a dim light filtered through the window paper, he felt the sound of slight footsteps.
He sat up suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "Who?"
While speaking, Mo Jiuye quickly pushed the door open.
"Ninth brother, it's me."
"Fifth brother, why did you get up so early?"
Fifth brother raised the bucket in his hand.
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up to fetch water and cook. I saw there was still some food in the kitchen. Let's just eat some."
Mo Jiuye originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but when she saw that her fifth brother was already up, she gave up that idea and helped prepare breakfast together.
In the Mo family, Mo Jiuye is the youngest son in the family. His brothers always love him very much and never let him do anything.
Fifth brother is still used to this.
"Ninth brother, don't be busy, I can do it alone."
It's not that he looks down on Mo Jiuye. Mo Jiuye is now married and has a family, but it's okay to let him take care of some outside things. I'm afraid he will become more and more busy with such small housework.
Mo Jiuye didn't know what Fifth Brother was thinking, so instead of going back to rest obediently, he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
There was a lot of food stored in the kitchen, but a few cabbages stacked in the corner were completely rotten, and there were no other vegetables.
Fortunately, there were a few palm-sized pieces of bacon and a bunch of dried radishes hanging from the rafters.
Mo Jiuye has now learned to be very cautious. Before cooking, he first took out the micro toxin detector that his wife gave him and checked all the ingredients. After making sure that there were no problems, he started cooking.
The fifth brother thought that the ninth brother would not do anything even if he went into the kitchen just to be polite to him.
As a result, when he came in after chopping firewood, he saw that Mo Jiuye had already washed the rice and put it into the pot, and the dried radish and bacon were all soaked in water.
Before he could say anything, Mo Jiuye had already taken the firewood he had chopped and quickly put it into the stove to light it.
"Fifth brother, I'll make breakfast."
The fifth brother was a little dumbfounded when he saw his skillful movements.
But in order not to dampen Ninth Brother's enthusiasm, he was already prepared to eat a dark meal.
Regardless of whether the food made by Ninth Brother is edible or not, he must finish it...
