Chapter 192: A Game Within a Game
Hearing the word monk, Tang Yingying's first reaction was those fake monks in Pufo Temple: "Why did King An say that the person who came to you last night may be a monk?"
Mo Zhan didn't dare to look at Tang Yingying more, for fear that Mo Chen would kill him for this: "Some of this person's actions and his actions make him look very much like a monk. For example, he will unconsciously make gestures when the monk recites the Buddha's name, and so on."
Tang Yingying and Mo Chen exchanged a look, this alone could not mean that the person was a monk, it was possible that the person did it deliberately in order to confuse the Mo Zhan family.
"What else?" Tang Yingying asked.
Mo Zhan elaborated one by one: "That man would touch his own inch from time to time, he was an inch head, not with long hair, which is very unreasonable. Moreover, when he touched his own inch, he was a little embarrassed...... It's not that it's uncomfortable, it's a kind of emotion that I can't talk about."
Tang Yingying thought of the missing monks of the Pufo Temple, Mochen disposed of the monks of the Pufo Temple, but the monks such as Lianyin were missing, and so far they have not found out where these fake monks are hiding.
Suppose that the real or false monks who came to find Mo Zhan's family, is this matter related to Lianyin? It's also possible that someone is doing it in the shadows.
Anyone who is a fake monk can figure it out, if they can blame Lianyin for this, they can provoke the dispute between them and Lianyin to a greater extent, and that person will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"What did the man tell you to do?" She sat there indifferently, not showing a trace of emotion.
Mo Zhan: "The man said that if our family can do him a great favor, not only can our family enjoy a more noble and good life, but also help us avenge it."
"He didn't say anything to help, he just said that he wanted us to do what he said, and he would take care of the rest."
Tang Yingying's mind turned: "So, you sent someone to invite me and the regent to come over early in the morning?"
Mo Zhan didn't understand, and said suspiciously, "Miss Tang, what do you mean by this? We said yes, once someone comes to us, I'll tell you right away."
"Could it be that you and the Lord Regent want to go back on it?"
Tang Yingying looked at him with the eyes of the second fool: "King An, I really doubt how you have survived until now. Don't you see such obvious calculations and exploits?"
Mo Zhan really didn't see it, but at this moment, Tang Yingying pointed it out, and he didn't figure it out: "Where did the calculation and use come from? I think you and the Lord Regent want to go back on it!"
Tang Yingying snorted twice and asked, "King An, why isn't your precious son Mo Yongning here?"
Mo Zhan sighed in surprise and asked Princess An, "Where did Yongning go?" Didn't you tell him? The regent and Miss Tang are coming, so let him come and wait early."
Princess An's eyes quietly crossed a trace of calculation, and her face was very steady: "Where do I know where Yongning is, he is an adult, and I, as a mother, can't always control him."
Mo Zhan was suspicious, especially after so many things had happened, he didn't have much trust in his wife: "You really don't know where Yongning went?"
Princess An was saying that she really didn't know where Mo Yongning went, she pinched the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, not to mention how pitiful and aggrieved she looked: "I want me to give birth to children for the prince and manage the middle feed, but in the end, the prince treated me like this, I am really sad."
Mo Zhan didn't eat her at all, and when he heard this, he sent someone to find Mo Yongning, turned his head and said to Mo Chen and Tang Yingying flatteringly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, and I ask you two to wait a while, Yongning will come over soon."
Yong Ning must not do what he should not do, or he will kill this evil obstacle with his own hands.
"People have come." Mo Chen suddenly said this.
He protected Tang Yingying behind him and mobilized the secret guard to prevent something from going wrong.
Tang Yingying stretched out her head and looked out, and saw a large group of archers holding bows and arrows, aiming their bows and arrows at all the people present, and immediately sneered.
"Look at this big battle, people who don't know think that there is a wanted criminal in the imperial court here."
Her afterglow saw Mo Zhan, who was so frightened that his legs fell to the ground, and one
Princess An, whose face was in disbelief, rolled her eyes: "I said Princess An, I'm afraid you didn't expect your precious son to ignore your life, right?"
At this moment, Princess An still defended her son: "Miss Tang, don't talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with Yongning, someone is taking advantage of our family."
Tang Yingying didn't bother to talk nonsense with this woman, anyway, it would be better for this woman to wait a while: "Regent, you see that we are surrounded by groups, and we are all archers, what do you say?"
The hand she put in her sleeve quietly sprinkled a variety of medicinal powders, and her eyes stared coldly at those archers. In fact, at the beginning, she and Mo Chen guessed that this was a game against them, but they still came.
One is to see what tricks the other party is going to play, and the other is to see if you can find useful clues or catch a few key people.
But what they didn't expect was that the other side would send so many archers.
Mo Chen guarded Tang Yingying tightly: "It's going to be fine."
Tang Yingying was relieved when she heard this, the kind of peace of mind that came for no reason.
The broad and powerful back of the man in front of her gave her a great sense of security and stability. If he were there, there would be nothing in this world that could not be solved, and no one could hurt her.
These thoughts made Tang Yingying's heart ripple slightly, and the tip of her heart overflowed with sweetness and happiness, but she forcibly broke it up. She can't have any expectations and thoughts about this man, this man is not her lover and can't give her the happiness she wants.
She forced herself to calm down, forced herself to think about the bad things Mo Chen had done to her, and gradually cooled down, and even her expression returned to calm.
"Regent, it's not a question now, it's clear that the other party wants to kill us."
Before she could finish speaking, she heard an unfamiliar man's voice.
"Miss Tang's words are not right, we don't want your life and the regent's life."
Tang Yingying followed the voice and saw a masked man walking out of the archer, obviously this person was the leader: "What is wrong with what I said? Even now you don't want my life and that of the Lord Regent, and you will want both of us later."
"Besides, now you don't want my lives because you want to use me."
The masked man applauded, and his voice was like a puppet: "Miss Tang is worthy of Miss Tang, in a word." So, do you want to come with us now?"
"If you don't come with us, we'll have to be rude. I know you have made arrangements before you come, but don't ignore these archers...... Oh yes, those medicinal powders from Miss Tang won't work for us.
If you don't believe it, you'll find out later."
Tang Yingying believed it, and she sat there very calmly: "If you want me and the regent to go with you, are we going to go with you?" How old are you?"
At this moment, there was a "bang" sound.
Several archers were smashed into the air, and a large round stone appeared on the ground, and many archers were killed under the stone.
"You see, the tide is now reversed." Tang Yingying looked at the masked man whose face had changed with a shallow smile: "You said that the regent and I have been prepared for a long time, how can we not be prepared."
The masked man's face changed only for a moment, and he ordered, "Shoot the arrows!"
"Whoosh", countless sharp arrows headed towards Tang Yingying and Mo Chen.
Mo Chen waved his hand very calmly.
And he closed the door.
At the moment when the door was closed, all those sharp arrows were shot at the door, making a "knock knock" sound, which frightened Mo Zhan and his wife to hide under the table, for fear of being shot through by these sharp arrows.
Tang Yingying glanced at the couple with disgust, and then pulled Mo Chen to hide in a safe place: "Wait, or do it now?"
Mo Chen pondered for a moment: "Wait and see. I speculate that this is just the first wave of temptations, and that there will be more to come. This time, the other party invited you into the urn, I'm afraid they want to catch the two of us, and we are more valuable to live."
Tang Yingying also thought like this: "You say,
Is it Lianyin or someone else who invited you into the urn this time?"
Mo Chen said that it was difficult to say, "Let's not think about this now, and then think about this when we have dealt with the affairs here. Wait a little while you follow me, and I'll protect you."
Tang Yingying's heart jumped, and she suppressed these emotions as much as she could: "Well, there is the Regent of Lao. If you can't take care of me, it's the same to let the Secret Guard protect me. Besides, I'm kind of self-preservation."
Mo Chen stared at her deeply: "Tang Yingying, I can't understand why you are angry with me, why do you want me to think about those things clearly. But one thing I know is that I want to protect you and not let anything happen to you."
Tang Yingying crashed into his black eyes full of tenderness and sincerity, and his chest trembled slightly. Those pent-up feelings, like an erupting volcano, rushed all over her body at once, making her eyes hot.
"Mo Chen, what's the use of you talking about this now?"
Without waiting for Mo Chen to answer, she said, "There is a good saying, why bother with today."
Mo Chen knew this better than anyone else, and he also deeply realized it: "Tang Yingying, I know it's appropriate to say this now, but I still want to say it again, please give me another chance."
"I want to tell you that this time I will cherish you and never make the same mistake again."
Tang Yingying's heart was beating violently, and those hot emotions constantly stimulated her brain, trying to force her to act irrationally: "Mo Chen, you still don't understand, you really don't understand."
"I told you a long time ago, wait until you think about your heart, and then talk to me about it. However, before you could figure it out, you talked to me about it and said that you would cherish me. It's ironic, you know?"
