If Mo Jiuye did not refute him, it meant that the other party had acquiesced, and it was also equivalent to the latter indirectly stating his position to Nan Yu.
Mo Jiuye did not refute, but it was not what Nan Rui thought.
The Mo family has already been persecuted by the imperial court, and it is impossible for them to do anything that may harm their own family just for the sake of loyalty in their hearts.
The reason why he didn't express his position was because he already had his own plan.
If Nan Yu really becomes the emperor of the ages as recorded in history, I believe that his own abilities must be great. Even without the help of the Mohist family, he will secure his position.
What's more, the Mohist family no longer exists in historical records, so in his mind, after the immediate crisis is resolved, the Mohist family has become dispensable to Nanyu.
And he himself has not forgotten his original intention. When he became the king of Zhenxi, he just hoped that the Mo family could have a paradise of their own.
Nan Yu also knew the meaning of Nan Rui's words. He also felt that Mo Jiuye was acquiescing if he didn't refute. In order to show his sincerity, he immediately stated his position.
"Ninth Young Master, don't worry. I, Nan Yu, will keep my promise. As long as I am here, I will definitely protect Mo's family from worries."
That's all Mo Jiuye heard. In addition to allowing his family to live and work in peace and contentment, he didn't want to ask for more.
Faced with this topic that he didn't really want to talk about, Mo Jiuye just brushed it off vaguely.
…
If things hadn't suddenly changed and Mo Jiuye had to rush back to the northwest to receive the order, he and He Zhiran would have waited until He Shangshu resigned smoothly and went back together.
As a result, the plan did not change quickly, and they had to go back at this time.
They have a big G, which will save a lot of time on the road, but others don’t know it.
No matter who is calculating, it will take them almost half a month to rush back to the northwest. Even if it is to cover up others' eyes, they must leave at this time.
Although it was to cover up others' eyes, the two still chose the Big G as their means of transportation.
On the way, they come out of space for one night every three days. When they reach poor areas, they will use the money they received from the treasury to provide relief.
Despite this deliberate delay, the two arrived in the northwest on the twelfth day after leaving Beijing.
As soon as they entered the northwest, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran felt a tense atmosphere.
The street, which was originally quite lively, can be described as deserted. Most of the business doors have been locked, and only a few are open. Even so, it is empty and there is no business at all.
The doors to people's homes are all tightly closed. Occasionally, you will see someone opening the door a crack to look outside, and then closing it again soon...
This kind of atmosphere is not unfamiliar to Mo Jiuye. Before his exile, he was stationed in the border area all year round. Once a war broke out there, the surrounding people would be in the same state as they are today.
Even in more severe cases, people will choose to abandon their homes and flee with their loved ones.
Therefore, from the state of the people in the northwest, we can preliminarily conclude that although the war has started here, it has not yet reached the point where the enemy will launch a large-scale attack. In other words, the barbarian army has not yet invaded.
But this situation is not optimistic. If it were not for the intense war, the people would not be so closed.
Anyway, he and He Zhiran returned to the northwest earlier than expected. No matter how fast the messenger sent by Emperor Shunwu was, it would probably take two days to arrive.
After Mo Jiuye discussed with He Zhiran, they decided to go to the Western Territory battlefield to inquire about the situation.
In this way, when the imperial edict arrives, he will be well aware of it when he is ordered to go to the battlefield.
The couple were dressed in ordinary people's daily attire. Apart from their outstanding appearance when walking on the street, there was nothing special about them. Therefore, they did not change their disguises this time.
The two headed straight to the northwest border. They found that the closer they got to their target location, the less likely they were to find people.
Suddenly, Mo Jiuye felt something was wrong, and he pulled He Zhiran to stand there.
He Zhiran was also a vigilant person. Mo Jiuye suddenly grabbed him, and he must have discovered something.
Just when she was about to ask, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from the jungle on the roadside.
At this time, Mo Jiuye was ready to take action. At the same time, he did not forget to tell He Zhiran: "Ranran, hide as soon as possible if there is danger."
As soon as Mo Jiuye finished speaking, two figures quickly jumped out of the jungle.
Before both parties could take action, the person who came immediately said: "Ninth brother, ninth brother and sister, how could it be you?"
"Second brother, third brother, why are you here?" the couple asked together.
The third brother took a look at the surroundings and said softly: "Ninth brother and sister-in-law, please follow me first. This is not the place to talk."
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both silently followed the two brothers into the jungle in tacit agreement.
After walking about a hundred meters into the jungle, the couple saw a team of about two hundred people in the open space ahead, looking in the direction they came from, and everyone was in a state of preparedness.
At this time, the third brother asked: "When did the ninth brother and the ninth brother and sister come back? Have the things in the capital been resolved?"
In Mo Yunfeng's view, he and his second brother had been ambushing here for seven or eight days. He guessed that Mo Jiuye and his wife should have returned to Xiling Village.
After learning that they had led people to ambush here, I came over specifically to check.
"We just came back from the capital. We saw that the situation in the northwest was not good. We planned to check it out before returning to Xiling Village. We didn't expect to meet the second and third brothers here."
After Mo Jiuye explained, he asked:
"Why did the second brother and the third brother lead people to ambush here?"
"Now that the barbarians are invading in large numbers, it doesn't matter if we are not in the northwest. Here, we cannot just watch the people become displaced because of the war.
After discussing with my father and brothers at home, and with everyone's unanimous consent, we led a team of people to ambush here.
If the barbarians on the other side of the border cannot withstand the barbarian attack and are invaded, we can also stop them here. "
The third brother spoke and pointed to the old troops in the clearing.
"Dad made the decision and asked everyone to bring five bombs each. We all have witnessed the power of the bombs. Regardless of the small number of people, we can still prevent the barbarians from entering the city."
In fact, there was no need for the third brother to explain so much, Mo Jiuye also understood the reason.
Although the Mohist man was disappointed with the court, his desire to protect the peace of the country or to let the people live and work in peace and contentment remained unchanged.
No one in the family wants to see the barbarians invade Dashun and oppress the people.
What's more, the Mo family now lives in the northwest. Although Yuncheng is some distance away from here, once the barbarians attack, they will reach there sooner or later.
