Chapter 26: Meet Liu Xu Again
Mo Ziyu took Lu Qiao and Xiaoyi out of the palace, and according to the previous plan, he went to the north to find his master.
There are still seven days left before the day of Mi Zi's accession to the throne, and she and Liu Xu should not meet.
Lu Qiao quietly asked her what she would do if she met His Highness.
Mo Ziyu was silent at the time, she didn't know, should she stab him again, scold him, or ignore him?
Heading towards the north, after walking for two days in a row, Mo Ziyu met an unexpected person, Situ Picking Stars.
On this day, the three of them were eating in an ordinary tavern, Situ Jiexing came in from outside, put the wine bottle in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Thirty years of flower carving, just started, it's cheap for you!"
"Situ Gongzi!" Mo Ziyu was surprised, "I heard senior brother talk about you, but I haven't seen you in the barracks, I thought you had returned to Northern Xia, why are you here?"
"Promise me to help Mi Zi do something, so he left first!" Situ Jiexing said, "It's good to see you safe and sound!"
Mo Ziyu picked up the flask and poured two glasses of wine: "I will borrow your wine to toast you today, thank you for your saving grace." ”
Situ Jiexing drank it happily, paused, raised his eyes to look at Mo Ziyu and said, "Do you know why I came to you?"
"Of course it's not just for a drink with us?" Mo Ziyu said with a smile, "Is there anything that Situ Gongzi needs us to do?"
Situ Juexing said: "Then I'll say it directly." Qi Zi didn't worry about Qi Muxuan, so I let me watch their every move behind my back, but I found out that they were preparing to do something, and I didn't tell Qi Zi about this first, because I wasn't sure if he would intervene, so I came to you first. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Mo Ziyu asked.
"Mi Zi ascended the throne, and the envoy sent by Northern Xia was the crown prince Liu Xu, and Qi Muxuan planned to ambush him, and then blame the head of Western Wei!" Situ Jiexing said.
"What?" Mo Ziyu frowned, "Qi Muxuan, this madman! Even if he blames the Western Wei, but if something happens to Nanchu, Nanchu still can't escape responsibility, how can Mi Zi not care about this matter?"
In fact, Mi Zi always thought that it was Northern Xia who killed his father and instigated the rebellion of King Yu Nan, and he actually hated Northern Xia in his heart. Situ Juexing said, "If something happens to Liu Xu, Northern Xia will inevitably fall into civil strife, and when Emperor Xuan and Western Wei go to war, there will be endless troubles...... Because of this, I didn't tell Mi Zi about this as soon as possible, but came to you first, hoping that you could save Liu Xu. ”
"Why should I save him?" Mo Ziyu smiled sarcastically, "You should know some grievances between me and him, even if I didn't kill him personally, it doesn't mean that I will save him! Besides, there are only three of us, since Liu Xu is coming to Nanchu, he must also bring enough guards, how can the three of us save him! You can't help but look down on us!"
"I'll answer your first question first, as soon as Liu Xu dies, Northern Xia will inevitably fall into turmoil, and I don't know how many people will suffer because of it, if the Western Wei Dynasty takes the opportunity to enter again, it will make the situation fall into turmoil, you are a native of Northern Xia, this is your birthright! I heard that the reason why you fell out with Liu Xu is because of the Mo family, the Mo family is loyal and righteous, and they have been defending the country all their lives, and they must not want to see Northern Xia suffered!" Situ Jiexing paused and said, "It's not for you to save people, you just need to remind him to pay attention to precautions." ”
"Since it's just a reminder, why don't you go yourself?" Mo Ziyu frowned.
"Because I still need to continue to stare at Qi Muxuan's every move, no one else can do this!" Situ Juexing looked at Mo Ziyu's eyes, "I hope you can put aside your personal grievances and think about the overall situation." ”
Mo Ziyu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "I promise you." ”
"Okay!" Situ picked up the stars and was overjoyed, "This matter is so decided, you go and inform Liu Xu to take precautions, I am staring at Qi Muxuan's next move, if he has other means, I will inform you as soon as possible!"
"Hmm. ”
"Then I'll take my leave first, you can keep this wine and drink it!" Situ Jiexing finished speaking, got up and left.
Mo Ziyu drank a glass of wine in silence, Lu Qiao bit her lip lightly, and said: "If the girl feels reluctant, let me go, I will go and inform His Highness, the girl and Xiaoyi continue to go, the girl rest assured, I will not reveal your whereabouts." ”
"The three of us can't be separated, you little girl, I won't be at ease. Mo Ziyu said, "Let's go together, although I don't want to see Liu Xu, but Situ Jiexing is right, if something happens to him, Beixia will definitely not be fine, how can I bear it?"
"But ......"
"It's nothing, this is Nan Chu, presumably he doesn't dare to come nonsense. Mo Ziyu said, "Let's go now!"
Mo Ziyu studied the map of Nanchu, estimated a few possible ambush points for Qi Muxuan, and combined with the speed of Liu Xu and his party, he speculated where they might land, and it took two days to rush over.
On the way to Linyuan, there is a long road that is deserted, and there is only one inn on the road, which is the foothold of travelers.
When Mo Ziyu and the three of them arrived at the inn, it was already night, and it was raining lightly outside.
"The shopkeeper wants two rooms!" Mo Ziyu shook the rain on his head and said to the shopkeeper.
"I'm sorry, this guest officer, our store is full!" said the shopkeeper, "I can't go to the village before and after the store, it's still raining outside, and it's not good for me to ask the guest officer to leave, if the guest officer doesn't dislike it, how about staying in this hall for one night?"
"Yes!" Mo Ziyu said, "But our clothes are wet, please arrange a place for the shopkeeper to let us change into clean clothes!"
"That's easy to say, two girls, please come with me!" said the shopkeeper and took Mo Ziyu and Lu Qiao upstairs.
Mo Ziyu was just about to lift the hem of his skirt and go upstairs, but his body stiffened, at the end of the stairs, there was a man standing, the man was handsome and handsome, his face was cold, who was it not Liu Xu?
The two looked at each other, and there was confusion in their eyes.
Mo Ziyu clenched his fists with both hands and closed his gaze.
Lu Qiao behind her saw Mo Ziyu's abnormal movements, looked up strangely, and when she saw Liu Xu's appearance, she was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she was about to kneel, but fortunately she asked Qin Yi behind her to help her.
She swallowed her saliva and whispered beside Mo Ziyu, "What should I do, girl?"
At this time, the shopkeeper walked a few steps, and seeing that Mo Ziyu did not follow, he turned around and urged: "Two girls, please, beware of catching a cold!"
Mo Ziyu had regained some composure, she lowered her eyes to keep up with the pace of the shopkeeper, and pretended not to see Liu Xu.
Liu Xu looked at Mo Ziyu's figure expressionlessly, and only grabbed her arm when he was close to him.
"Let go. Mo Ziyu said coldly, not looking at Liu Xu's expression.
Liu Xu's eyes never left her from the first time he saw Mo Ziyu, staring at her tightly, afraid that this was just an illusion, afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye, although he didn't understand why he saw her here, he didn't want to understand that at this moment, he just wanted to be closer to her, even if she hated herself and hated herself.
He sighed, let go of Mo Ziyu, and instructed Qing Yue behind him, "Free up three rooms and give them to them." ”
"Yes. Qing Yue glanced at Mo Ziyu, with defensiveness in his eyes and a little helplessness.
"This boy is willing to vacate three rooms, that's great!" said the shopkeeper, "Then I'll thank you for these three objectively first!" Girl, after this boy vacates the room, you can stay, I'll let the kitchen boil some hot water for you, so as not to get the cold!"
"Thank you shopkeeper!" Mo Ziyu nodded.
The shopkeeper went downstairs, Mo Ziyu was still stiff in place, she only felt that the blood in her whole body seemed to be solidified, and the rhythm of her breathing was completely messy, she wanted to ask him if he had recovered from his injuries, but when she thought of the Mo family's affairs, the anger and resentment that did not dissipate surged up together, making her thoughts and guilt all frozen, leaving only endless coldness.
"Why are you here?" Liu Xu asked, "Aren't you with Mi Zi?"
"I don't need you to care where I am. Mo Ziyu said lightly, and when she was about to leave, Lu Qiao reminded in a low voice: "Girl, don't forget our purpose, we originally came to find Your Highness, isn't it a good thing to meet Your Highness at this time?"
Mo Ziyu bit her lip lightly, she turned around, looked at Liu Xu, frowned and asked, "Why did you come back to Southern Chu? You are now the prince of Northern Xia, why do you want to take such risks?"
"I'm here for my reasons. Liu Xu looked at Mo Ziyu's eyes, "Don't you really know why I came here?"
Mo Ziyu gritted his teeth and continued: "I don't care why you came, I just want to remind you to be careful. From the moment you came here, you've been targeted!"
Liu Xu's eyes moved slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Are you caring about me?"
Mo Ziyu frowned: "Although I left Northern Xia, I am still from Northern Xia, you are the prince of Northern Xia, if something happens to you, Northern Xia will also have an accident, my father and brother have guarded Northern Xia for a lifetime, I don't want to see Northern Xia have another accident." Mulan is a thief and wants to provoke civil strife in Northern Xia, so do it!"
"My soldiers went to Nanchu Linyuan in two ways, and you happened to run into me instead of informing the other team, does this mean that there is still a spirit between us?" Liu Xu laughed softly.
