Chapter 239: The Ins and Outs of the Martial Arts Conference
Just when everyone was happily discussing the matter of inviting merit and rewards, Mo Cong and the four maids were buying things in a small town dozens of miles ahead to restore their horsepower. From the morning to now has been chased by the tail of more than 100 miles, now the tail is thrown off, the trouble is lifted, and finally you can rest assured that you can go shopping and buy things, the girls are very happy, and they have selected the things that are ready to be taken back, and the special snacks of the mountain and wild fruits are hung and worn to play, and everything is bought. Mo Cong also looked forward to buying Mo Min some gadgets and all kinds of food all the way, and everyone walked out of the town in this way, and there were many more things on horseback than when they first entered the town.
Several people have been driving for five days to come down from Zhongmuro Mountain, but since they only drove a few dozen miles on the first day, they still have more than 200 miles to reach the capital. Everyone went out of the city and hurried another fifty or sixty miles, bought a lot of things along the way, and found an inn to live in when it was dark.
"It's so fast, I'm going home tomorrow. In the guest room, the maids took a shower and sorted out the big bags and small bags of things they bought, thinking that they would be home tomorrow afternoon, and they couldn't help sighing.
"What, don't you want to go back sooner?" asked Mo Cong.
"I think about it and don't want to, I miss the young grandmother and Sister Xiaomei very much, but after I go back, I can't accompany the young master all the way during the day every day like these days, and sleep with the young master at night, I feel very bad when I think about it. Xiaoting said.
"Speaking of which... You have been busy shopping and sleeping in the past few days, and you haven't practiced very well, and you must practice hard when you go back, otherwise you will be surpassed by others, not only will I have no reason to take you out again, but your young grandmother will also worry that you will fall behind once you come out, and I will not agree to you follow me out again. Mo Cong said.
"We've been practicing hard, whenever we have time, riding on horses, and when we're shopping, and we haven't fallen behind at all. Xiao Wan said.
"Yes, we have already completed the second layer when we were on the middle room mountain, and we have started to practice the third layer. Xiaoting also said that she was not lazy.
"What about you?" Mo Cong asked Xiaoyue Xiaolan.
"I'm pretty much the same, mainly because when I practice those three mantras, I often have to accurately control the internal force to go to various places, so I have unconsciously completed the second layer, and I have already walked a lot on the third layer. Satsuki said.
Xiaolan nodded, indicating that she was the same.
"Okay, then you're all good, but be sure to keep up with your arrogance. Mo Cong encouraged everyone.
The five of them slept soundly at the inn, set off early the next morning, and finally arrived in the capital in the afternoon.
As soon as they returned to Mofu, Mo Cong and the four maids immediately received cordial condolences and warm onlookers from everyone. The five people brought back a lot of things, what to eat, drink, wear, wear, play everything, after the purchase of the two of them directly two horses on a horse, the two horses vacated are used to camel these things.
In the large dining room where the main courtyard entered first, all the people of the Mo Mansion gathered together, and Xiaolan Xiaoyue and Xiaowan Xiaoting distributed various things to everyone, sharing some things that could be said along the way. The maids and the little guys were either given a piece of clothing or food and drink, and a few of the little girls were still playing happily with shadow puppet clay figures.
"Sister Xiaoyue, Sister Xiaolan, the four of you are really lucky, when can we go out with the young master like this to have a good time. "Many girls are envious.
"The young master went to the barracks last time to take me and Xiaozhu and them, this time I took Xiaoyue and them, it can be seen that the young master also consciously took everyone out in batches, so it will be your turn to go out next time, don't worry, take your time." Xiaomei comforted as the leader.
Everyone was playing here, and Mo Cong and Mo Min were talking in the main room, complaining about the pain of parting and lovesickness.
"You're going crazy when you go out this time, look at Xiaolan's expression and so many things you brought back to me, I know that you are thieves. Mo Min shrunk into Mo Cong's arms and pouted.
"When we went, we lived in the wilderness, at that time in the forest to practice tracking anti-tracking point to set up a bonfire to roast a rabbit is a little fun, when I come back is more boring, the first five days are the narrow road is chased and killed or deliberately chased up to let people kill, the last day finally dealt with these troubles and rushed back non-stop, anyway... That's basically it. Mo Cong said and gave a general introduction to the situation.
"I didn't want to go this time because I didn't want to run into these messy people and things to block myself, but I didn't expect you to run into it. Then what should I do now, the people from the Qingsong Sect who participated in the martial arts conference suddenly all disappeared, won't anyone track down this kind of thing?" Mo Min asked worriedly.
"They have angered the entire martial arts, and the head of the sect is a dead person in everyone's eyes, such a group of dragons and leaderless people are walking in the rivers and lakes of hatred everywhere, their way back to the Qingsong faction is originally a road of no return, and it is normal to disappear, even if they are traced, they can't trace anyone. And they withdrew from the martial arts conference on the first day, and according to the route, they had already returned to Qingsong Mountain to sleep and get up to eat when I was still in Zhongmuro Mountain, so they wouldn't track me down anyway. Mo Cong said indifferently.
"What about the Five Poisons Sect, two holy envoys disappeared at once, this is also a major event that caused a sensation in the martial arts. Mo Min said.
"The Five Poisons Sect is located in Miao Jiang, and the means of clearing the portal in the sect have not been known for hundreds of years, and the disappearance of a dozen people on their side will not cause a sensation in the martial arts. Mo Cong said.
"Then what about the head catcher of the six gates, why haven't I heard any news about this in the capital?" Mo Min asked.
"I told him that this matter involves the reputation of many girls, and it also involves the reputation of many sects, so it must be investigated secretly, who knows how he is investigating now? But this matter is indeed a trouble, the Criminal Department may send someone to me to investigate, and as the commander of the military police, I will also be charged with bullying the king, and the emperor may also inquire about this matter, and Brother Chen may also be implicated. But think about the evil people who finally got the evil retribution, everything is worth it, it's a big deal I'll go and tell the emperor about the cause and effect of the matter now, anyway, the evidence is ironclad, and with the investigation of the Criminal Department and the Six Doors in the later stage, even if the army wants to exonerate those two people, he can't exonerate it. Mo Cong said.
"Well, this matter is such a big move, you must deal with it properly. Mo Min nodded.
The two talked again, and Mo Cong took a shower, changed his clothes, and rode to the palace.
In the imperial study, Mo Cong presented the relevant letterheads, confessions, and military quartermaster boxes to Hang Xiao, and told the ins and outs of the matter as they were.
"I thought it was a bit strange at the time, but considering that Ruoping was not a messy person, I didn't ask, and today I suddenly became clear when you said this. Hang Xiao nodded.
"The last general feels that it is related to the innocence of many girls and the reputation of many sects, so there is no way to announce it truthfully, please Your Majesty to find out. Mo Cong said.
"You did the right thing, if these things were announced at that time, then there would be no need to fight in the Giant Spirit Pass, and before the Long Kingdom came over, there was a bloody storm and vendetta in the Giant Spirit Pass, many officers and generals were originally from various sects, and everyone was stirred together with a pot of porridge, it would be more lively than fighting. Fortunately, you listened to Ruoping's persuasion, and you didn't make this situation even in anger. Hang Xiao said with relief. "But this matter is really difficult to deal with, those two people are dead, the head of the Qingsong faction also apologized and committed suicide, many of the girl's family members are reluctant to reveal their scars after a long time or are afraid that the family scandal will be publicized, and I am afraid that it will backfire if I forcibly start the investigation, so I received the report from Lang Xuan and temporarily suppressed the matter, so he did not expand the investigation for the time being, but just verified the known victim girl as soon as possible, and then reported it to the Criminal Department for processing. This one...... You also have to understand. ”
Mo Cong knew that Hang Xiao was in the way of joining the army or hindering the Qingsong faction, and he didn't want to make things all over the city, so he nodded and praised the emperor Shengming, this is really a good solution, as long as the charges of the two are announced, many victims or relatives of the victims will have their own hearts and minds, which can be regarded as seeking justice for those victimized girls.
After the two finished chatting about the Qingsong faction, Mo Cong was about to get up and leave, Hang Xiao asked the eunuch to inform the imperial dining room to send the dinner to the Warm Heart Pavilion, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold Mo Cong and said that he would leave after eating.
When he arrived at the Warm Heart Pavilion, tasting the imperial meals served by the palace maids, and drinking the fragrant and sweet imperial wine, Hang Xiao asked about some things about the martial arts conference, and Mo Cong explained some of the situation in detail.
"I really envy you people, the next time there is a martial arts conference, I will also change into civilian clothes and take a few servants to participate quietly, and have a good experience of the excitement in the martial arts. Hang Xiao touched the cup with Mo Cong and drank the wine in the cup, and said with regret.
Mo Cong said that he was a little unsuccessful this time, and he lived up to His Majesty's grace, and now that he is back, he is ready to pack up and go to the garrison to deal with military affairs. Hang Xiao said that the wounded soldiers have been retired and the recruits have not yet been recruited, and the so-called military affairs are to arrange daily training for patrols, which is not a big deal, and after the recruits are stationed, just go over and catch the training of recruits, and the rest of the time can still be arranged calmly, anyway, the principle is not to make yourself too tired.
As the two were talking, a fragrant wind came in from outside with the sound of ringing.
"I also said that my father is here to eat today, it turns out that General Mo is here. Seventh Princess Hang Rui sat next to Hang Xiao all the way, and she didn't know if she was talking to Hang Xiao or Mo Cong.
