Chapter 58: Threats
Behind him, there were still voices of dissatisfaction from the people, as well as the voices of officers and soldiers scolding.
"Brother Li, what's going on?" Tian Yao asked suspiciously.
Glancing around, "Find a place and talk about it in detail, this must be Lin Zhi's hands and feet." He lowered his voice and walked quickly.
In front of me is a good inn, and there are really a lot of people coming in and out.
"Let's stay here for now." glanced at the signboard, and pulled Tian Yao to stride in.
After arranging everything, Mo Jingli hurriedly sent Tian Yao to her room to rest.
"You go to sleep first, don't think about anything, I'm in charge of everything."
Seeing Tian Yao lying down obediently, Mo Jingli returned to his room with peace of mind, sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't sleep, and quietly thought about countermeasures.
There was a soft knock on the door, and he knew it was his guards coming, so he let them in.
Two guards came in, and they looked at Mo Jingli respectfully, "Your Highness, what should I do next?" The two of them stepped forward to salute and ask about the plan.
After pondering for a moment, Mo Jingli stood up, his slender arms behind his back, and his angular face was raised, "The city gate is blocked, it must be Lin Zhi targeting me, you go to the original inn to investigate, and then talk." ”
The two of them were ordered to go out, and Mo Jingli continued to stand in front of the window thinking about countermeasures.
Originally, there were those unknown black-clothed people chasing and killing, and now they are provoking the city lord Lin Zhi, Mo Jingli is very worried, and the most worried is Tian Yao next door, he knows that in his heart, no one can replace her position.
Half a pillar of incense, the two guards went and returned, their eyes full of panic.
"Your Highness, as you expected, it is indeed surrounded there!"
Mo Jingli waved his hand, and was just about to speak to ask them to retreat first, when Tian Yao pushed the door in, with a melancholy look on his face.
"Brother Li, what should Lin Zhi do if he searches us everywhere like this?" She heard the guards outside the door.
Seeing Tian Yao's worried look on her face, Mo Jingli looked at her firmly, "Don't worry, just wait, we will definitely have a way to get out of the city." There was affection in her eyes, which reassured her.
Tian Yao had no choice but to go back to the room, and after the guards left, Mo Jingli lay on the bed and thought of a way.
The city gate was sealed, and he and A-Yao became trapped beasts, those people couldn't find themselves in the original inn, and sooner or later they would come here to search, if they didn't think of countermeasures as soon as possible, it was really dangerous.
Thinking of this, he came to Tian Yao's room.
"Brother Li, is there any way?" Tian Yao saw that his face was wrong, and asked suspiciously.
His eyes looked at Tian Yao with concern, and his thin lips opened slightly, "Sooner or later, they will search here, and the only way is to change their appearance." ”
Tian Yao nodded slightly, there was no other way.
When the crescent moon appeared in the mist, the inn began to be noisy, and what they feared finally happened, and the search of the guards upstairs and downstairs disturbed the guests, and the floors were trampled on with a shocking sound.
They shouted for a man and a woman, and they made a fuss for a long time before leaving.
Fortunately, Mo Jingli disguised himself as an old man and disguised Tian Yao into a man, so he escaped this search.
"Brother Li, will they come again?" Tian Yao asked in a low voice, but she was worried.
Mo Jingli comforted her and said that it shouldn't be.
But Tian Yao's heart was always very worried, and she didn't sleep well all night.
The next day, Mo Jing got up very early, so he went downstairs to buy some snacks and the like, made a pot of tea, and held it on a tray to knock on Tian Yao's door.
"A-Yao, are you up?" The corners of his mouth hung with pleasure, quietly waiting for an echo.
I only heard Tian Yao yawning, and the sound of footsteps came slowly, "Brother Li, come in." She opened the door, her smiling face tired, her beautiful eyes still red and swollen.
Looking at those delicate snacks and fragrant tea, Tian Yao rubbed his eyes.
"It smells so good!" Her tiredness receded a little, and her pretty face was full of gratitude.
Putting down the tray and looking at Tian Yao carefully, he found that his face lacked luster and looked a little haggard.
"Didn't you get a good night's sleep last night, did you? Ah Yao, why are you so unenergetic? His eyes were full of concern.
Nodding slightly, he moved two steps closer, and his eyes were slightly worried.
"I'm worried that those people will come back, and now that they have arrested us all over the city, and the city gates have been closed again, we really have no way out!"
Seeing her so worried and anxious, Mo Jingli was very distressed, her big knuckled hands covered the woman's fragrant shoulders, and her eyes looked intently at the slightly tired face.
"The city gate will open in two days, it's not difficult for us to leave, don't worry, eat something first, and then make up for last night's sleep, I don't want to see you look so haggard!"
After listening, Tian Yao looked at him gratefully, with a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't quite understand what Mo Jingli meant.
Seeing Tian Yao's doubts, Mo Jingli patiently explained, and his voice was extremely soft, "City Lord Lin Zhi doesn't dare to arrest people unscrupulously, that will cause panic among the people, and then his position as the city lord will be difficult to do, he will definitely pay attention to the impact." ”
Tian Yao nodded slowly, feeling that what he said made sense.
Under the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Lin Xuan gradually woke up, and the moment he opened his eyes, his face was still full of horror, and the bloody human head was still floating in his mind.
Someone reported to Lin Zhi, so he hurriedly came to visit his son.
"Daddy, you must kill Mo Jingli for the child, this time he is fateful, and he failed to take his life! I'm not reconciled! Lin Xuan was unwilling to ask, and also said that he had missed the matter of assassinating Mo Jingli.
When he heard this, Lin Zhi was very annoyed, it turned out that he really caused trouble again, "It's better for you to cause less trouble for me!" It's really uncompromising! Lin Zhi put his hands behind his back, not wanting to look at him anymore.
Lin Xuan turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, a little anxious, "As long as you can catch that Tian Yao girl back and kill Mo Jingli, what else is there to worry about?" He is a strong dragon and can't suppress the head snake, what about the prince! His nose was panting heavily, and he was injured by Mo Jingli several times, and he also disturbed his good deeds, and his angry teeth bited.
"It's so easy for you to think, how can there be such a simple thing?" His face was pale, Lin Zhi's expression was very helpless, and he was anxious that if too many things about his city protector were known from above, it would be very bad, and he wanted to stop there.
Lin Xuan was about to say something more, Lin Zhi glared at him angrily, and for a while Lin Xuan really didn't dare to speak.
If it weren't for his son who caused the accident in the first place, how could he be in an embarrassing situation where it didn't end well? Flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and strode out of Lin Xuan's station.
"Leave me alone, I'll figure it out myself!" Patting his thigh, Lin Xuan looked out the window angrily, feeling very aggrieved.
Thinking that he was only one step away from Tian Yao and could do a good thing, he stirred up Mo Jingli at the critical moment, and beat himself up, he couldn't swallow this breath.
Now he was even more angry that his father refused to help him, and he was very angry, and kicked twice on the stool to vent his resentment.
Because Lin Xuan was in a coma before, Lin Zhi withdrew the guards guarding him, and at this moment, when he came outside, he wanted to lead some people to deal with Mo Jingli by himself, and then arrest Tian Yao back, he really didn't know how thick the sky was.
"I don't believe I can't catch you, Mo Jingli, I must retaliate!" With a low roar, he secretly found some guards, secretly left the City Lord's Mansion, and went to find Mo Jingli and Tian Yao in person.
Those guards didn't know what to do at first, but they were all worried when they found out, they all knew that Mo Jingli and those subordinates were powerful, so they were afraid to give their lives, and they didn't want to offend the identity of the prince.
Lin Xuan, who was unwilling, led these people everywhere to find Mo Jing and leave them, and after wandering around for most of the day, he didn't see anyone, and he was very angry.
"You guys look for it separately, and then you will meet here, just leave two people for me, and we will act together if we find someone!" Lin Xuan deployed it seriously, but he didn't know that these people didn't dare to really play for him.
They were looking for Mo Jingli, and Mo Jingli's secret guards were also looking for news everywhere, and finally found out about Lin Xuan's movements, so they hurried back to report to Mo Jingli.
"He really doesn't know what he can do! Still trying to go against me? Hum! ...... No matter what, get that kid for me, and I'll see what tricks he can do. Mo Jingli looked out the window with disdain, feeling that Lin Xuan was much easier to deal with.
The secret guards came to arrest Lin Xuan, and after symbolic resistance, those subordinates all ran away, only leaving Lin Xuan, who was a fox and a fake tiger, still there.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan began to be scared, and shrunk into a ball and begged for mercy.
"Go back and talk to our highness! Something for the faint of heart! The two secret guards dragged Lin Xuan back, and Lin Xuan was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Seeing the virtue of being greedy for life and afraid of death, Mo Jingli didn't bother to look at him more.
Tian Yao was extremely angry, if it wasn't for Brother Ah Li's timely appearance, his innocence would have been ruined by the bastard in front of him, how could he let him go at this moment.
"You bastard, I'll kill you! Brute! Tian Yao rushed up and was about to hit someone, but was stopped by Mo Jingli.
Mo Jingli glared angrily at Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the ground, and pointed his finger at his nose, "You dare to come to His Highness again, it's really bold, see how I clean you up today!" The voice was loud, and it poured straight into Lin Xuan's eardrums.
"Huh? Your Highness spares your life! The little one was confused for a while, and he didn't dare, he didn't dare! He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and he lost all of his dignity as a man.
Seeing his virtue, Tian Yao sat in the chair disdainfully to see how Mo Jingli dealt with him.
Mo Jingli couldn't cry or laugh, his anger disappeared a little, and he also sat next to him, and the anger on his face was gone.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan looked at Tian Yao with the courage to look at Tian Yao again, "I don't mean anything else, it's just for Miss Tian Yao, she is beautiful, it's really exciting, if she can be married by me......" At this moment, he didn't forget to tease Tian Yao, and really thought she was a maidservant.
"You bastard!" Tian Yao got up and was about to step forward and hit someone directly, and her red lips trembled with anger.
