After all, the Mo family has a special status and has completely lost confidence in the imperial court.
To put it bluntly, they were loyal even before they rebelled.
As the head catcher, Mo Chuhan knew the situation in Yuncheng very well.
"Brother Meng, such a big thing has happened, I suggest you ask the state capital for help."
Meng Huaining nodded: "This can only be the case for now. Yuncheng does not have the troops to guard it. Once the barbarians invade again, it will be the innocent people who will be harmed."
Although he said this, he knew clearly in his heart that the northwest was barren and did not receive the attention of the imperial court at all. Even the military strength of the state capital was incomparable to other places.
Even if he raised the matter with the prefect, he might not have the troops to support him.
In any case, after such a big thing happened, it was inevitable for him to report it to his superiors. As for whether the military strength could be solved, Meng Huaining had no hope at all. I am afraid that he would have to find a solution by himself in the end.
In fact, the Mohist brothers were more optimistic than Meng Huaining about the problem of barbarians.
"If nothing else goes wrong, the barbarians failed to rob us this time and injured so many people, so they will probably not make any more moves in a short time.
The common people are timid. If they didn't really have food to survive, they would probably not be willing to take risks.
My only worry is that the barbarians are already thinking of attacking Dashun. If the army attacks, it will be impossible to enter Xiling Village.
After all, the mountains here are high and the roads are steep, making it very inconvenient for them to carry food and grass.
The court should be the one to worry about, and the most dangerous place right now is the Western Region. "
Meng Huaining has been a county magistrate since he became an official. After all, he is a civilian official and his position is not high. During this period, he focused on local governance, and his military insight was far less than that of the Mohist brothers.
After hearing what Seventh Brother said, Meng Huaining could be said to be enlightened.
"Although Yuncheng is far away from the Western Territory, once the war starts, the people there will definitely defect in this direction. It seems that I have to make some preparations in advance."
As the parent official of Yuncheng, he cannot stretch his hands too far, but he must ensure that the people under his rule are protected.
Thinking of this, Meng Huaining felt that he needed to plan carefully.
He cupped his fists at the two Mo brothers and said, "Thank you two brothers for reminding me. I'll go back and figure out how to arrange everything."
After such a big thing happened, the Mo brothers knew that Meng Huaining still had many things to deal with, so they did not try to persuade him to stay and sent him to the entrance of the village before turning back.
Time goes back to the beginning of Chenshi.
On the official road three hundred miles away from the capital.
"Ninth brother, the old man is awake." The fifth brother's voice was a little hoarse. Ever since they took out the poisonous blood from Mr. Simeng's body, he had been keeping a close eye on him for fear of any unexpected situation.
At this time, Mo Jiuye was in charge of driving the carriage, while Sixth Brother rode on horseback.
Hearing Fifth Brother's call, Mo Jiuye quickly drove the carriage into the jungle on the roadside, parked it, and then entered the carriage.
Brother Six also wanted to take a look inside the carriage, but for everyone's safety, he could only stand outside the carriage and do his job as a sentry.
The fifth brother has been staring at Mr. Simeng, and he will notice if there is anything strange at all.
Therefore, when he informed Mo Jiuye, Mr. Simeng only moved his eyelids.
But Mr. Simeng is indeed about to wake up.
He was probably in pain from his wounds, or was numb due to his hands and feet being tied up. Before his eyes were fully opened, he first let out a painful groan.
"Don't continue to pretend to be dead when you wake up." Mo Jiuye had no patience at all for his biggest enemy. If he didn't have more questions to ask, he would have killed him now.
Hearing this voice, Mr. Simeng's brain, which was still a little dazed, suddenly became clear.
He forcefully opened his heavy eyelids, and what caught his eye was the angry glares from the Mo brothers.
He didn't know that he had lost the poisonous blood in his heart, and thought that the pain in his body was from being beaten by the Mo brothers.
"I say it again, don't treat me like this. I believe you won't be stupid enough to want to be buried with me, right?"
After saying this, Mr. Simeng let out a series of sneers in order to show his superiority.
I thought that continuing to threaten like this would have the same effect, but unexpectedly, the Mo brothers looked at him with increasingly playful eyes, and even felt like they were treating him as a fool.
Mr. Simeng subconsciously felt something was wrong, especially the position of his chest, which seemed to be particularly painful. The pain was somewhat different from the pain after being beaten.
His expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became a little uneasy.
"You...what did you do to me?"
Mr. Simeng couldn't believe this was true. While he was speaking, he tried to communicate with his natal Gu, but there was no response at all.
When he thought of Mo Jinnian appearing in front of him alive, he could conclude that the Mo family must have found some expert to control his natal Gu, otherwise, he would not be able to communicate with his natal Gu at this moment.
At the same time, he also felt a heartbreaking pain in his heart, and that location was where he hid the poisonous blood in his heart.
Could it be that the poisonous blood in his heart has also disappeared?
I have to say that Mr. Simeng is still very smart.
Although he didn't know how the other party did it, he was already aware of the seriousness of the problem.
Looking at the fearless looks in the Mo brothers' eyes, he felt that he was the truth even more.
"You are so despicable!"
"Despicable? You are the one who is despicable." Fifth Brother replied through gritted teeth.
Mo Jiuye was much calmer today and did not attack Mr. Simeng out of anger.
He had only one purpose, and that was to find out the whereabouts of his father and brother.
"Now, even wanting to die is a luxury for you."
This was his last reminder. He hoped that Mr. Simeng would be more aware of the current situation and not let their brother's interrogation be too strenuous.
Mr. Simeng has always thought highly of himself, but when he was caught by the Mo brothers, he originally thought that even if he died, he would die proudly, so dragging their brothers along with him was worth it.
Unexpectedly, the poisonous blood in his heart disappeared inexplicably, and he could no longer control his life Gu. This caught him off guard. At the same time, he was threatened by Mo Jiuye's words, which made him instantly realize that his situation was very bad.
However, he no longer has the capital to threaten the other party.
Moreover, with the hatred the Mo brothers had towards him, he would really do what Mo Jiuye said, asking for death would be a luxury.
Realizing this, Mr. Simeng had already begun to panic.
What he is afraid of now is not death, but not being able to avenge his beloved woman, and the possibility of facing torture that would be worse than death.
Seeing that Mr. Simeng didn't speak for a long time, Mo Jiuye knew that he had understood his situation clearly.
"If you don't want to be tortured, just tell me the whereabouts of my father and brother honestly, and I will consider giving you a good time."
Mr. Simeng still ignored Mo Jiuye. His thoughts at this moment had drifted far away, to thirty years ago...
