Chapter 120: Teach a Man to Fish
Since coming back, Mo Qinglan has been leaning against the railing like this, and has been sitting in the Wind Lotus Pavilion for a long time, without saying a word, with an indifferent expression. From the afterglow of the sunset to the starry sky, he maintained a posture of looking up, and no one dared to approach except for the ink dust.
A glass of wine blocked her view, and she reached out, caught it, and drank it all.
Soon, a glass of wine blocked her vision again, and she reached out, caught it, and drank it all.
In this way, repeatedly, after a while, a jar of wine was drunk by her cow like this.
"I don't want to say it." Mo Qinglan suddenly spoke, but what he said was clueless. She withdrew her gaze from the star and landed on the white hands that were opening the second jar of wine.
"Okay." Mo Chen smiled warmly, poured a full bottle of wine and handed it to Mo Qinglan's front.
"I don't drink anymore." Mo Qinglan waved his hand and stroked a few strands of long hair that were blown by the wind, feeling quite irritable.
"Good. Then I'll tell you a story. Mo Chen's mouth smiled unabated, he poured himself a glass, took a drink and put it down, and without waiting for Mo Qinglan to respond, he continued: "Once upon a time, two hungry people were gifted by an immortal: a fishing rod and a basket of fresh and huge fish. One of them asked for a basket of fish, and the other asked for a fishing rod, and the person who got the fish happily ate and drank for several days, and finally the fish were all eaten. Soon he starved to death by an empty fish basket. Another man began to fish for a living by fishing every day with a fishing rod, and after a few years, he not only built a house, but also a family, and had a fishing boat he built, and lived a happy and stable life. ”
"What do you want to say?" Mo Qinglan sat up straight and looked at Mo Chen fixedly. However, his well-known story touched a certain nerve in my heart.
"It's not so much what I want to say, it's better to say, what you're worried about." Mo Chen put down the wine glass in his hand, and his voice became softer and softer.
"You know it all." Mo Qinglan was noncommittal.
"You forgot that I came out of the Shadowless Valley." Mochen said.
"That news ......," Mo Qinglan wanted to say and stopped.
"That news is actually forcing you to come out of the shadows, and you have always been a big problem for her." Mo Chen took over the words and watched Mo Qinglan pick up the wine glass and drink it all.
Yes, when Mo Qinghan told her what Ye Shuangqian said, Mo Qinglan guessed the real intention behind this.
She wanted to take it slowly, wait for her follow-up plan to be implemented, rescue her parents, and take back the Huangci Kingdom, but Mo Qinghan only needs to wait behind her for the end of all this, and live the life that should belong to her, just like the sister who can save the Huangci Country as she said in the afternoon......
It's just that she didn't expect Ye Shuangqi to not give her a chance to breathe. The handing in of the talisman is equivalent to another complete defeat of the Huangci Kingdom. She Mo Qinglan will never accept this!
But if you resist......
She was afraid that Mo Qinghan would not be able to bear the next things, and if there was a war, she was worried that Mo Qinghan would be injured and even lose his life. Such a weak woman......
For the first time, Mo Qinglan's heart began to waver, and this feeling made her really irritable.
"If you don't let go, you won't be able to achieve great things. What the country needs is someone who can stand in the sun and be worthy of the worship of the people. You have to believe her, she is your Mo Qinglan's sister. Mo Chen looked at the dark night scene in the distance, and his face was rarely serious.
You have to believe her, she is your Mo Qinglan's sister.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!
Mo Qinghan's face was still expressionless, and he didn't even roll his eyelids, but his heart had already been set off by Mo Chen's words.
After a long time, she exhaled softly, and her cold eyes were covered with a layer of shallow warmth and looked at Mo Chen:
"You're right."
Mo Chen smiled warmly, put away the wine glass in front of her, got up, and left the Wind Lotus Pavilion.
Mo Qinglan also got up and did not return to his residence, but went straight to Mo Qinghan's bedroom. Ask for an audience outside the door.
Mo Qinghan just lay down, and when he heard that the eldest brother asked to see him late at night, he remembered that he left with a black face during the day, and although he had doubts in his heart, he still got up and dressed.
"I don't know if the eldest brother came to visit late at night, what's the matter?" Mo Qinghan asked.
"Second princess, during the day, you said that I looked like your sister." Mo Qinglan asked calmly.
"Brother Changzhi, my words are abrupt during the day, please don't take it to heart." Mo Qinghan was quite embarrassed in his words, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother who didn't sleep in the middle of the night actually came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.
Also, a good man is said to be a daughter, and no one is happy.
"Second Princess" Mo Qinglan paused, and looked straight at the past, this was the first time she looked at Mo Qinghan so directly, the face that was somewhat similar to her was reduced by a few points, it should be sleepless at night, and the dark shadow under her eyes was also clearly visible.
Mo Qinglan's hand hidden in his sleeve unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Mo Qinghan was taken aback by the initiative of the person in front of her, it was the first time she saw this face so unobstructed, her face was plain, but those shining eyes taught Mo Qinghan to take her eyes off for a while.
These eyes really look like my sister.
But Mo Qinghan quickly came back to his senses, and then laughed at himself: "It's called the big brother of the change again." ”
"Second princess, I have a way to make the country of Huangci come back without handing over the talisman." Mo Qinglan turned his face slightly and said.
"How?" Mo Qinghan hurriedly asked.
Mo Qinglan picked up a white square handkerchief, covered his face and only revealed his eyes, and a muffled voice came from behind the square handkerchief: "I have seen the portrait of the eldest princess and found that my eyes and shape are somewhat similar to hers. At that time, I will repair the book to Ye Shuangqi in the name of the eldest princess and exchange it for the second elder. ”
"This is too dangerous, even if the plan is successful, when the time comes, Emperor Ye will find out that he has been deceived, and you will be in danger of your life, I can't do this." Mo Qinghan flatly refused.
"This is just part of the plan, as long as the second princess cooperates, we can all get out of the way." Mo Qinglan saw that Mo Qinghan was worried about herself, her heart warmed, and her tone softened unconsciously.
"For such a big event, let's wait for my sister to come back and then make plans." Mo Qinghan hesitated, and his voice became quieter.
"Second princess, do you believe in yourself?" Mo Qinglan didn't answer the rhetorical question.
"What does that mean?" Mo Qinghan was puzzled.
"Second princess, for the sake of saving the people of Huangci from the suffering of war, you tied up the second elder and surrendered, and you are willing to bear the infamy. In order to strengthen the strength of the Huangci Kingdom, you will clear the rebel party and quell civil strife. Where was your sister while you were doing all this? Mo Qinglan said slowly.
"She is my belief, and I can't do this without my sister." Mo Qinghan muttered.
"No, Second Princess. It's none of her to do it, it's all up to you. You are brave, decisive, and you have to believe that you yourself will be a good emperor. And now the people of the country of Huangci only recognize you. Mo Qinglan said, and the firm tone made Mo Qinghan speechless for a while, and looked at her in a daze.
"You can protect the country of Huangci, instead of staying up for your sister, waiting for someone who doesn't know when he will come back or even if he will appear." Mo Qinglan said.
"Is there any difference between the two?" Mo Qinghan said confusedly.
"The former, you live for yourself, and if you are strong, the country will be strong. The latter, you are living for your sister. This is the essential difference. Mo Qinglan shook his head and patiently analyzed.
Qinghan, you are my Mo Qinglan's sister, believe in yourself, you can!
Seeing Mo Qinghan fall into deep thought, as if digesting her words.
Mo Qinghan needs time, and this long night is the only companion Mo Qinglan can give.
Fortunately, Mo Qinghan didn't let Mo Qinglan wait too long, only to see her get up and walk to the door, open the door, take a few deep breaths, and then say to the attendants beside her:
"Summoning Prime Minister Liu and others to enter the palace immediately, there is something important to discuss."
The attendant departed.
Mo Qinglan raised her eyebrows, such a resolute and resolute temperament was a bit like her, and at the same time, a stone fell to the ground in her heart.
Mo Qinghan returned to his original position, reached out and opened the covered white jade porcelain cup, poured the tea with his own hands, and brought it to Mo Qinglan, his tone was unusually delicate, and it was unusually firm: "No one has ever said such a thing to me before, but the big brother woke up the dreamer with a word today." I always look forward to my sister coming back and taking me and the people of Huangci to live a peaceful life. I never thought that one day I could protect them and protect my sister. If I can strengthen our country to fight against Yeyang Kingdom, my sister will not have any worries, and she will no longer have to hide in Tibet, and she will not be able to return to her home. We can be reunited as a family. Thank you, big brother. ”
Mo Qinghan's tone was excited, his bloodshot eyes were shining with light at the moment, and his body trembled slightly because of excitement.
Mo Qinglan looked at the bright light candle in front of the table in a daze, Mo Qinghan's words rang in his ears, and he didn't know when he took the teacup she handed over, only to feel that the tea began to be hot in his mouth, flowing down his throat and flowing into his limbs, immediately warming his whole body......
On this night, the Great Hall of the Council was brightly lit until dawn.
