Chapter 579: Only Borrowing the Road, No Troops

Seeing that Chen Mo had not made any move, Xiao Yunxi simply took Xiao Ya's hand and pushed it into Chen Mo's arms.

The slender and graceful girl immediately pressed against Chen Mo's body.

Now that it has come to this point, what else can Chen Mo say.

Just as Xiao Ya was being electrocuted and subconsciously wanted to distance herself from Chen Mo, two arms were gently wrapped around her waist, hugging her tightly.

Because Chen Mo and Xiao Yunxi ended in the middle, and the delicate body was in his arms, the anger in Chen Mo's heart suddenly emerged again, and his body reacted instinctively.

Xiao Ya herself felt as if she had been stung by a wasp on her butt. She then waved her hand to scare away the wasp that stung her. At the moment of contact, Xiao Ya's face turned red. When she lowered her head, she saw that the wasp was stinging her. Seeing the nervous look, his hand retracted in panic.

She already knew what the wasp was.

She had seen it when she first broke into the room.

I was even thinking that if I was like my aunt and was bullied by Brother Mo on the table, I might... die.

Xiao Yunxi glanced at Chen Mo and asked him to speak quickly.

Chen Mo looked at Xiao Ya, gently pinched the girl's delicate and smooth chin, and said softly: "Xiao Ya, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you. I was just being intimate with your aunt just now. This is normal. Xiaoya doesn’t need to be too nervous about the couple’s behavior.”

Xiao Ya was looking directly at Chen Mo, her face was hot, and she said hurriedly: "Brother Mo, my aunt is so good to me, I won't tell anyone, and I won't tell anyone."

But in my mind, I was thinking about normal couple behavior. Oh my god, can I hold on?

Xiao Ya's heart was beating wildly. Just when she was about to shyly look away from Chen Mo, she saw a wave of warmth and softness coming over her. The girl's eyes widened in an instant: "Hmm."

"Brother Mo, he actually kissed me." Xiao Ya's little face, as red as an apple, was as red as drunkenness, whether from joy or shyness. Her eyes flickered and she closed her eyes in shame.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Chen Mo gently hugged Xiao Ya's shoulders, looked at her bright eyes, and whispered: "Xiao Ya, just stay with me from now on. After the provincial examination, I will admit you and let you and Yun Xi is a companion.”

At this time, Xiao Ya didn't know if she was confused by Chen Mo's kiss and didn't respond. But she didn't know if she was shy or nervous. She shrank her head in Chen Mo's arms, seemingly silent.

When Xiao Yunxi heard this, her face turned a little red, because after hearing this, she thought of herself and Xiaoya lying side by side on the bed, being bullied by Chen Mo.

Chen Mo gently let go of Xiao Ya, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yunxi, and said: "You hold Xiao Ya, her body suddenly becomes limp. Let's go over and have dinner."

Seasons flow.

Soon, Chen Mo had lived in Xiao Mansion for ten days.

On the third day after Zhihua was imprisoned in the Xiao Mansion, Chen Mo announced to the public that Zhihua committed suicide out of fear of crime and died in prison. His body had been cremated.

This was a fake death plan arranged by Chen Mo for Zhihua to paralyze the spy of King Huai in Qinhuai City.

After that, Chen Mo lifted the blockade of Huaxiang Tower and took the three girls Xiao Yunxi, Yue Ruyan, and Xiao Ya around Qinhuai City all day long.

When Chen Mo was lingering among the flowers and immersed in the fragrance of makeup and powder, in the blink of an eye, it was July 1st, the second year of Yong'an.

In the past few days, the controversy surrounding Tingxuanlou Zhihua's assassination of An Guogong has long been calm and has become a gossip among the people.

Occasionally, the young master would lament in private, saying that the most outstanding oiran selected by Huaxianglou over the years had just passed away.

The deserted tavern in Qinhuaicheng has reopened.

An old customer of the tavern came in and saw the shopkeeper putting down the bench on the table. He found his old seat and sat down, ordered a few small drinks, and then asked casually: "Shopkeeper, what are you doing these days?" What are you doing? The store has been closed for so long and is no longer in business? "

The shopkeeper showed a hint of sadness and said: "An old friend of mine has passed away. He is alone and there is no one at home. It is not up to me to take care of the posthumous affairs, and I have been friends with him for so many years. "

"The shopkeeper is so generous, give me another plate of peanuts."

"Okay, wait a minute."

After these old customers finished their drinks and went out, at a fortune-telling booth opposite the tavern, a middle-aged fortune teller whispered: "The first customer after the tavern opens, follow him."

The person doing the calculations responded, got up and followed.

The two of them had just left one after another when two noble gentlemen came outside the tavern. One of them, holding a folding fan, said: "Brother Qin Che, you are used to going to big restaurants and taverns, but you don't know that the wine in this small tavern is... "It's more delicious. I'll take you in to try a bowl today."

Two noble men walked into the tavern.

When the shopkeeper saw the two of them, he was startled and said, "Are you two gentlemen here to drink?"

The noble man holding a folding fan smiled and said: "What a joke, what are you doing in the tavern if you don't come to drink?"

"Then, please sit down, you two. If you want something to drink, I'll prepare it for you."

The noble young master holding a folding fan glanced at it, took his friend to sit down at a clean table, and said casually: "I heard outside that you have Chongzhou famous wine Tusu, but I haven't tried it yet. This time I brought my friend here to try it. Taste it and have some more beef.”

The smile on the shopkeeper's face froze slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

"This tavern also has wine from Chongzhou. Brother Xiao, where did you hear about it?" Qin Che asked his friend Xiao Ge beside him after the shopkeeper left.

"I heard from a friend in Chongzhou that the wife of the tavern owner is from Chongzhou and can make Tusu wine." Xiao Ge said.

"oh."

While talking, the shopkeeper brought up the wine and beef that Xiao Ge asked for.

As soon as the things were put down, Xiao Ge said: "Brother Qin, you drink first, and I'll relieve myself."

Then he asked the shopkeeper where the latrine was.

The shopkeeper said it was in the backyard and took Xiao Ge there.

Arriving at the backyard of the tavern, Xiao Ge immediately read the code.

After confirming his identity, the shopkeeper said: "A drunkard in spy clothes from Prince Huai's Mansion."

"Xiao Ge, the spy of Prince Huai's Mansion," said Xiao Ge.

"Xiao Ge? Your surname is Xiao. Are you from the Xiao family?"

"I'm just a concubine of the Xiao family." A gloomy look flashed in Xiao Ge's eyes, and he immediately said: "Hua Ying is dead, and now I am responsible for connecting with you. Although I am only a concubine of the Xiao family, your tavern is too shabby. If It’s not appropriate for me to come here all the time. If anything happens in the future, you can come here to find me.”

Xiao Ge gave the shopkeeper a note, then turned around and left.

The shopkeeper suddenly called Xiao Ge, who was stunned: "Is something wrong?"

"Hua Ying really committed suicide out of fear of crime?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Is this important?" Xiao Ge narrowed his eyes and said, "Her mission failed and her identity was exposed. Whether she dies or not, she will be of no use to the prince."

The shopkeeper smiled coquettishly, and then said: "That's right. None of our dark spots in Qin Huai were exposed, which shows that she kept the secret before."

"Isn't her brother in our hands? For the safety of her brother, she has no choice but to commit suicide." Qin Ge said.

The shopkeeper grinned and said: "Mr. Qin doesn't know, her brother died the year before last. And don't you think the way of death is ridiculous? Her brother also committed suicide. The two siblings died one way."

…

Chongzhou, Prince Huai's Mansion.

Although it is nominally a royal palace, in terms of specifications, it is not as good as the mansions of wealthy merchants in the city, let alone compared to Prince Chong's palace, which is less than one-tenth.

In the garden of the mansion, King Huai was listening to the reports from the people below.

Jiangnan's mission to poison Chen Mo failed.

In response, King Huai just sighed and was not too surprised.

After all, if Chen Mo could be killed so easily, he would not be reduced to this.

Even though he knew there was little hope, he still did this because he was angry at the time and because he was now in Chongzhou and his control over Jiangnan was really limited.

So for him, Jiangnan's spy clothes were dispensable in his heart. Even if the mission failed, it would not cause him any loss. He might as well give it a try in case he succeeded.

"Drone also said that he promised Hua Ying that no matter whether the assassination mission failed or not, he would ask the prince to let her brother and parents go. Now that her brother is dead, what about her parents?" the housekeeper looked at Prince Huai and said.

"You can make your own decision on this little matter." King Huai didn't care. He didn't care whether the family of a little chess piece lived or died.

"promise."

The butler retreated, but not long after, the butler came over again and said that King Chong was here.

As soon as he finished his report, King Chong came to the garden minding his own business.

This made King Huai frown. He came in without permission, which was obviously a slight against him.

King Huai suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Yan, why did you come here in person?"

"I heard that Fourth Brother sent people to assassinate Chen Mo in Jiangnan. I wonder if he succeeded?" King Chong said.

King Huai was stunned for a moment, feeling even more aggrieved, and said, "Brother Yan, your information is quite good."

King Chong smiled and said nothing.

"Chen Mo saw through it and the assassination failed." Prince Huai said.

King Chong was not surprised. He already knew the result in advance, and he knew the consultant well. He immediately said: "Fourth brother, your beauty trap is useless against others. Chen Mo is a good wife. If you send a wife with status, maybe you can Success, a poor man is too lowly."

"What do you mean by Brother Yan?" Prince Huai frowned. He felt that the other party was mocking him.

Prince Chong did not answer, but took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Uncle Wang has answered."

"Are you willing to join the alliance?" King Huai asked quickly.

King Chong shook his head.

King Huai's expression changed and he said: "That shouldn't be the case. Uncle Wang is used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He will help whoever is more powerful. Now that Lu Sheng has agreed to us and agrees to deal with Chen Mo with us, how dare he refuse?" ?”

"Uncle Wang doesn't count as a refusal. He said that he would allow us to use the road, but he would not send troops. He would not want any of the territory we conquered or the things we gained." King Chong said.

King Huai laughed angrily when he heard this: "He is so greedy for life and afraid of death, he doesn't deserve the surname Chu."

King Chong did not answer.

"When will Lu Sheng plan to send troops?" King Huai continued.

"I've already written to you and you'll know by the middle of the month."

…

Yanzhou, Anping Palace.

At that time, when King Anping wrote back to King Chong, the prefect Zhang Le was out of town. After learning the news, he hurried back immediately, and then rushed to the palace of Prince Anping to ask for an audience with King Anping Chu Ji.

In the study room of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Lu Sheng inherited Xu Guozhong's army. Although Xu's army suffered heavy losses in the last battle of King Qin, it was not damaged to the core and its strength is still strong. Now it has wiped out the Qiang people and gained the West. Liang's territory has grown in strength.

Now that Lu Sheng, King Chong and King Huai have joined forces, their strength has surpassed Chen Mo, and if we refuse to join forces with them, wouldn't it be bad? If they join forces to eliminate Chen Mo, then we..." Zhang Le was very worried. He said worriedly.

"Destroy Chen Mo? I don't think so."

Hearing this, Chu Ji couldn't help but laugh a few times, and immediately placed a piece of white paper on the desk.

Zhang Le stepped forward to study ink for Chu Ji.

Chu Jidao: "Then what kind of person is the King of Huai? King Qin's alliance leads an army of more than 200,000, and it is such a glorious sight to beat the Xu army and flee. But now, Huaizhou has been captured, Fengzhou has been occupied, and his wife and children have been separated." Scattered, living in exile to the point of being taken in by King Chong.

On the other hand, Chen Mo escaped from Tianshi, defeated Liang Song, attacked Linzhou, defeated the King of Huai, married the Wu and Xiao families, won an alliance with Shu Mansion and Xiliang, and drove out the eyeing Jin Xia army, gaining a large number of Even if Lu Sheng unites with them, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose. "

Zhang Le was stunned and said: "Does the prince like Chen Mo?"

"I don't like anyone, I only care about the results?"

"???" Zhang Le said he didn't quite understand.

"Let them fight. Whoever wins, will I help?" Chu Ji said.

"But if this is the case, wouldn't it mean that we are inferior?" Zhang Le wanted to say that there would be no good end for those who live on the wall.

"The victory I am talking about does not mean that one party has completely won, but when it has the absolute upper hand, I will help again."

At this time, the ink was also ground. Chu Ji picked up the pen, slightly dipped it in the ink, and wrote the word "steady" on the white paper.

…

Qinhuai, the ancestral home of the Xiao family.

Martial arts training ground.

"Crack."

There was a crisp cracking sound, and another long bow was broken by Chen Mo. The teenagers around him exclaimed in exclamation.

It turned out that Chen Mo came to the martial arts training ground while wandering around the Xiao residence today. He saw the young disciples of the Xiao family practicing martial arts, so he stood aside and watched on a whim.

Unexpectedly, among this group of teenagers, there were many people who admired Chen Mo.

Some people say that Chen Mo has strong archery skills and want Chen Mo to show off his skills.

Feeling the earnest eyes, Chen Mo couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

What happened next was the current scene.

Because these young people are all underage, and many are just entering the level, or even just starting to practice, the long bows placed on the weapon racks are all light bows used for practice.

Chen Mo didn't know, so he pulled it and broke it.

Once again, I couldn't control my strength and it broke again.

Fortunately, the third time, Chen Mo finally gained control of his strength, but because he subconsciously used the sun-shooting arrow, it still broke.

At this time, a young man brought the bow and arrow used by his father. This time Chen Mo controlled his strength and did not use the sun-shooting arrow.

Bend the bow and nock an arrow, aim, and let go.

Two hundred steps away, the glass beads on the eaves shattered with the sound.

"Okay." There was cheers from teenagers all around.
