An Xian and Xiaojiu walked into the room, and the eldest lady hurriedly pulled out the table and chairs and invited the two to sit down.

Although the house was small, it was spotless for the eldest lady to clean up, and the child also had a ruddy and healthy complexion.

An Xian lowered his head and took down the other money bag on his waist, took out three taels of silver from it, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of the eldest mother: "You take it, you have worked hard to take care of that child these days." ”

The eldest lady looked at the silver on the table, and hurriedly pushed it back: "What are you talking about, this is too much, when you came to me, I felt pity when I looked at this child, without my mother by my side, my father was imprisoned again, it was really pitiful." ”

His eyes fell on the fool on the side again: "I have good physical strength, I have children and daughters at home, and the children will come to see me with money every month, and the money on hand is not tight at all, if the girl can trust me, she will completely hand over the child to me to take care of." ”

An Xian saw the sincere expression on the eldest mother's face, and felt a lot more relieved: "Then you have to take it, live with him, how can it be expensed, you take care of him so well, you must accept this silver." ”

The eldest lady saw that she couldn't shirk it, so she took the silver.

An Xian took out some broken silver from his purse again.

Turning his head and signaling to Xiaojiu: "Go out and buy some meat and vegetables, let's stay here for dinner today, and go to the house to call Qiao Yu too." ”

Xiaojiu listened to the command and went out.

…………

In the imperial court, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly closed, his brows tightly locked, his whole body leaned on the back of the chair, holding a string of agate Buddha beads in one hand, with a displeased look.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Second prince, is there still no whereabouts?" ”

His hoarse voice echoed in the empty hall, and everyone lowered their heads, for fear that the emperor would anger them, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and they felt very nervous.

Who in the government and the opposition doesn't know that the current emperor is mediocre and moody, and for the sake of power, even his own son will always be on guard.

Mo Zhi leaned down, his face a little heavier: "Back to the emperor, there is still no whereabouts of the second prince, but the subordinates have tried their best to find it, and they will definitely bring the second prince back as soon as possible to return to you." ”

The displeasure on the emperor's face became even more obvious: "I give you time, and the capable ministers of the government and the opposition will also use it with you, if you can't track it down, I can ask you." ”

Before the words fell, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving a full house of people at a loss.

"Although these two princes are fleeing, no one will be stupid enough to stay in the capital, such a big country, how can this be caught?"

"Isn't this a problem for Mo Zhi, fortunately it didn't fall on us."

The ministers talked a lot, which made Mo Zhi's already irritable mood even heavier.

When Gonggong Gao saw the emperor leaving, he shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The ministers knelt down one after another: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Gonggong Gao quietly grabbed Mo Zhi and led him to a secluded corner of the palace.

After rolling his eyes, he looked around and saw that no one was following, so he lowered his voice: "What does the emperor mean today, do you understand?" As he spoke, he looked at Mo Zhi with a solemn face.

Mo Zhi looked at Grandpa Gao suspiciously, and bowed his hand: "Please also ask Grandpa Gao for advice." ”

Gao Gonggong hooked the corners of his mouth, stroked the dust, and said in a sharp voice: "You are really stupid, the second prince is the emperor's own son, ask you to arrest it, do you really dare to arrest it?" ”

He took two steps, and his eyes became a hook: "In front of the civil and military princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor naturally wants to say something to the end, so that those who have their own careful thoughts can settle down,"

As expected, the emperor must not be able to bear to kill his son.

Mo Zhi leaned down and replied in a low voice: "My subordinates understand, thank you for your advice." ”

"Whose will the old slave served, you must be able to guess, it's good that Commander Mo knows for himself, and some words still rot in his stomach."

Saying that, he glanced at Mo Zhi meaningfully, and straightened his clothes: "The old slave will not delay Commander Mo here, and will retire first." ”

Mo Zhi turned around and looked at the back of Grandpa Gao's departure: "Grandpa Gao walks slowly." ”

Even if the emperor cherishes his power, he will leave a way for his son to live, but Guan Qin's existence is always a big hidden danger to the crown prince and the whole country, and if he can't achieve his goal, Guan Qin will not give up.

Thinking of this, Mo Zhi calmed down, walked out of the palace gate, and hurried towards the direction of the princess's mansion.

In his heart, he is still looking forward to it, looking forward to Mo Chao being able to change his mind, thinking of the love of brothers in the past, and thinking of the child Qingyuan.

The vermilion gate was closed, and the guards at the door saw Mo Zhi coming, and they stepped forward to stop him: "Why did Commander Mo come to the princess's mansion?" ”

Mo Zhi looked at the closed door, frowned, and the expression in his eyes became dark: "I came to discuss some things with the horse, and I bothered the two brothers to go in and report it." ”

The two guards glanced at each other.

"The colt is not here today, Commander Mo is afraid that he will run for nothing, please come back another day."

Mo Zhi's face darkened.

Is this trying to get away from me? Don't want to have anything to do with me? Then an arrow rushed forward and slammed open the gate.

This frightened the two guards, this is the princess's mansion, how could I not expect Mo Zhi to behave like this.

The princess went to the temple on the mountain early in the morning to worship the Buddha, and the birth of the child made the princess very happy, and she would go to pray every month to add some incense money to the temple, and never fell once.

Mo Chao was drinking tea and admiring the flowers in the courtyard at this time, when he heard a noisy voice at the door, he frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Before the words fell, he saw Mo Zhi coming from the door with a murderous face.

The guards behind him hurriedly caught up: "Don't lead him, don't lead him......"

Mo Chao's face was full of displeasure, and he was already a little angry: "I know, you all go down." ”

The guards and maids around them retreated after listening to Mo Chao's words, and only Mo Chao and Mo Zhi were left in the courtyard at the moment.

When the two brothers met again, Mo Zhi felt a lot in his heart, this brother really couldn't do it, and in the end, the two confronted each other in such an identity.

Mo Zhi put away the silver sword, turned around and walked to the fence in the garden: "Mo Chao, don't you have a trace of brotherhood in your heart?" ”

Mo Chao was very tired of hearing him call his name, and snorted: "I am Changyang now, Mo Chao?" There is no such person in this world anymore. ”

Mo Zhi's hand holding the sword clenched tighter, and his eyebrows furrowed: "Qingyuan has passed the martial arts test, do you know." ”

Mo Chao's heart trembled, he lay down on the chair again, closed his eyes and combed the sideburns in his ears: "What does this have to do with me, are you here today to tell me about this?" ”

When Mo Zhi heard him say this, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, was there no affection at all? Even his own son can be put aside?

Mo Zhi turned around and drew his long sword, aiming at Mo Chao: "He is your own son, blood is thicker than water, but you threw it away for more than ten years, living in this huge mansion, enjoying the glory and wealth, don't you have any guilt?" ”

The sword flashed, and Mo Zhi's eyes revealed full of resentment and disappointment.

Mo Chao looked flustered, held his hand and stepped back, and said in a loud voice: "Since the day I entered the court, there has been no such person as Mo Chao in this world, and Mo Qingyuan has nothing to do with me. ”

Mo Zhi abandoned the sword in his hand, his breath was short, and his eyes were full of disappointment: "You have been away from home for many years and have not heard from you, your father and mother have passed away a long time ago, and only me and Qingyuan depend on each other." ”

Paused again: "I didn't expect you to become a court, looking at your current appearance, I hope you die cleaner." ”

Mo Chao sneered: "Heh, I chose this path by myself, and I have never regretted it, why did you come to me today?" ”

said that he glanced at Mo Zhi playfully, and teased: "Didn't you come to beg me, ask me to remember the former brotherhood and say a few good words to the emperor for you."

Mo Zhi's breathing became even more rapid, and his voice was hoarse: "In your heart, everyone is as despicable and shameless as you, selling their dignity for fame and fortune?" ”

Mo Chao was not annoyed when he heard this, he slowly got up from the chair, turned his back to Mo Zhi: "It's okay, just go, I don't want to waste time with you anymore, and you won't come to me again in the future." ”

"Where the hell is Guan Qin?" Mo Zhi asked sternly.

Mo Chao didn't show a trace of embarrassment when he heard this sudden question: "How do I know where he went, and I didn't kidnap him, I'm afraid you found the wrong person." ”

Mo Zhi's face was gloomy, and he stared at Mo Chao directly: "You have a very close relationship with the Yun family." ”

Mo Chao's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and his face gradually became difficult to see.

He continued: "The Yun family has been an official for generations, and has a very close relationship with the royal family, and one-third of the residences in the city have their share, and there are countless small properties in other counties. ”

At this moment, Mo Chao's face was ugly, and some beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"In this way, it's not difficult to hide someone, right?" Mo Zhi saw his uneasiness and immediately asked.

Mo Chao panicked, and simply became angry: "I said I don't know, are you still finished?" After speaking, he walked to the inner hall.

"Sending off!"

Mo Zhi pulled him back, his eyes full of anger: "Are you willing to be someone else's puppet and use it for others?" ”

Emotional, he threw Mo Chao on the chair at once, and his strong hand tightly restrained his wrist.

"You once taught me that what Dayao Kingdom needs is a good official, and what it needs is a good official who can pick up the burden and protect the family and defend the country, but what are you doing now?" The anger in Mo Zhi's heart exploded at this moment.

Mo Chao looked at the emotionally out of control person in front of him and wanted to struggle to break free.

After a moment, Mo Zhi gradually calmed down, and his clenched hand loosened a lot: "Mo Chao, I will catch Guan Qin one day!" ”

He stood up and glanced at Mo Chao one last time: "In the future, if you and I don't call each other brothers, you will not blame me for being merciless." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the gate, and the guards in the princess's mansion looked at Mo Zhi with a angry face, and they were very curious about what had just happened.

In the courtyard of the princess's mansion, Mo Chao was the only one lying on the chair in a panic.

Mo Chao looked at the sky with empty eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his wrist that was pinched red by Mo Zhi, and his heart was mixed.
