Chapter 106: McAka's Secret
In the following days, Mo Lan was still busy with business.
During this period, a snack shop, a milk tea bar, a jewelry store, and a daily department store were opened.
At the beginning, 'Yan Ruyu' not only sold cosmetics, but also sold skin care products for a limited time.
Business is booming, and naturally there are many red-eyed people who come to cause trouble.
Mo Lan opened another hot pot restaurant, and after returning from the camp every day, he invited the generals to dinner.
came and went, and no one dared to come to the door to cause trouble.
On the day of the army, Wen Feng waited at the gate of Mofu with a sad face.
"Since my aunt is here, why don't you go in?"
Wen Feng shook his head and said, "It's too late, I'll talk to you in detail when I get in the car." β
Both of them wore armor today, and as soon as they got into the carriage, they were very happy.
"This morning, the second princess asked for the order to be the deputy general and fight the bandits with you, and the emperor has already agreed."
"Come on, come on, she is the princess, she wants to stand up and win people's hearts, but the final credit is hers, I don't care."
Wen Feng slapped her on the head.
"Do you know that she has always wanted to win over your mother, you know, your mother is an upright person, she only has the safety of Qingyun Country in her heart, and she does not participate in this kind of partisan dispute, and now she is fighting bandits with you, which is to announce that General Shenwei is already the second princess in disguise!"
Mo Lan touched her chin, it was indeed a little difficult to do so.
The second and third princesses of the court are the most promising people in the competition for the crown prince.
The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have long been secretly standing in line.
If you want to win the world, nothing more than soldiers and money!
The father of the second emperor was born in a noble family, and he was a third-generation elder in the court.
That alone gave her a better chance of winning.
The family of the three emperors' daughters is an imperial businessman, and it can be said that they control the economic lifeline of Qingyun Kingdom.
Half of Qingyun's soldiers and horses are in the hands of the emperor, and the other half is in the hands of her Mo family.
She suddenly understood why Moman had to die!
It seems that the second princess has hit her with the idea.
It's a pity, I made a mistake!
Not to mention that she Mo Lan has never been at the mercy of others, let's just say that she does not have any feelings for her family and country in this Qingyun country, and naturally she will not go to a desperate situation like Mo Man.
"Auntie, don't worry, I know it in my heart."
When Wen Feng saw her hanging child, her expression was solemn and she sighed silently.
When he arrived at the gate of the imperial city, he saw a woman in a black military uniform standing at the front of the army against the scorching sun.
This is the second princess, Luo Yuying.
Before he could greet him, the voice of the palace people came from afar.
"The emperor has arrived!"
A group of people immediately straightened their clothes and got down on one knee.
"See the emperor!"
The empress nodded calmly, took out a talisman from the box on the side and handed it to Mo Lan.
"Today, you led the troops to suppress the bandits and rescue the people from fire and water, this order ink talisman once belonged to your mother, and now it is handed over to you, I hope you can use it well."
Mo Lan's head was sweating, and she took the ink talisman.
"The minister should swear allegiance to Qingyun and the emperor."
The empress smiled with satisfaction, pulled Mo Lan over, and whispered in her ear: "Ah Ying will be brought back by you with her experience, but you have to bring her back intact." β
"Yes."
Although the empress's voice was small, she was all cultivators present, and no matter how low her voice was, she could hear it clearly.
Looking at the ministers who exchanged words, she believed that this crackdown on bandits would be difficult.
Even if she returns safely, there will be a lot of trouble to find her.
Mo Lan didn't know who the empress intended to appoint as the prince, but she knew that it must not be the second empress.
If you really want to pass on the throne to her, you can make an order at any time.
made so much effort to let the ministers watch her be favored, but it just pushed her to the forefront.
What's more, the second emperor's father's family is in full swing in the court, but I am afraid that it has already become a thorn in her side.
Mo Lan turned over and got on his horse, waving his right hand with a wave of his arm.
"Let's go!"
Three days later
Mo Lan sat in front of the fire and roasted the meat, the fragrance overflowing.
The soldiers also slept lazily against the trees.
"Second Highness, what does this general mean? It's just 5,000 people and horses, and the road of 100 miles is only half of it today! β
"Yes, not only that, but she also asked Wen Feng to keep four thousand men and horses behind and follow slowly, isn't she afraid of the mountain bandits and dare not go?"
Inside the tent
Luo Yuying's two subordinates were chattering and persuading her to take a team of soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits.
returned to the court to visit Mo Lan and seized her military power.
"Stupid!"
Luo Yuying rubbed her forehead impatiently.
Two guys who only know how to invite merit will never come up with bad ideas!
If it weren't for the person sent by my grandmother, she would have been killed a long time ago!
If the mountain bandits in Cangshan were really as arrogant as the news came, the mother emperor would have sent troops to surrender that day!
The reason why she took the initiative to ask Ying was to get close to Mo Lan and take a look at what medicine was sold in the mother emperor's gourd by the way.
Mo Lan...
A waste who has been stupid for more than ten years, but he is completely sober three months after Mo Man's death.
It depends on the situation, she can still cultivate, and it is very likely that her strength is not below her.
However, in half a month, he turned the world upside down with the power of one person.
I'm afraid that the previous stupidity and waste wood are all pretended, maybe the mother queen also has some doubts, so she agrees to be her deputy general.
Today at the gate of the imperial city, the queen mother said that the ink charm belonged to Mo Man, which was obviously a temptation.
"You guys go down, this time I'm just going to experience as a vice president, General Mo is the main general, everything is up to her!"
It wasn't until the lights went out in the tent that Mo Lan's barbecue action stopped.
In the darkness, a book shuttled through the leaves, slowly returning to Mo Lan's side.
Mo Yuan repeated their conversation to Mo Lan, who ripped off a chicken leg and stuffed it into the space as a reward.
"If the people of the Shen family are willing to listen to the second princess, the position of the prince will already be hers!"
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, the two figures left the camp sneakily.
Mo Lan dodged into the space, leaving a mess behind, controlling the Book of Heaven to follow.
I saw the two of them leave the official road, turn to the sheep intestine path, and go deep into the forest.
"Family Master, Second Highness said that everything should be done according to Mo Lan's orders?"
Shen Yi!
Mo Lan landed on the tree and looked at the people below, there were hundreds of them.
"It's okay, it's business as planned!
The order went to the cottage and told Shen Bao that his people must not hurt His Royal Highness, as for that Mo Lan, it doesn't matter if he is injured or dead. β
I see!
There are people from the Shen family in Cangshan Mountain, presumably they are fully prepared, just waiting for her fat to automatically fly to the board.
After that, the second princess had a meritorious role in suppressing bandits, and her image was more perfect in the hearts of hundreds of officials and even in the hearts of the people.
Presumably the Empress knows everything, and she has to think of a foolproof solution!
Taking advantage of the night, Mo Lan moved forward quickly, and in the early morning of the second day, he had already arrived at the town under Cangshan Mountain.
"Why are you here, didn't you say to wait for my news? What should I do if I have an accident on the road? β
Wen Feng, who had already arrived alone and early, was a little angry and a little scared.
"The situation has changed, there is a Shen family in the Cangshan Mountain bandits, and this crackdown on bandits is used to help the second princess!"
Mo Lan told her everything she had heard.
"If you succeed in suppressing the bandits, you will offend the Shen family, and if you help the second princess to suppress the bandits, it means that you are on the side of the second princess! Your Majesty, I want you to show your attitude! β
Mo Lan smiled: "So I need your help, aunt, to spread the news that the Shenwei General Mo Lan was captured by the Cangshan Mountain Bandits!" β
"No, I know what you're going to do, I can't put you in danger!"
Wen Feng categorically refused, it was impossible for her to let Mo Lan have a little damage!
Mo Lan knew she would say that, but she had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Auntie, don't worry, just do what I say, there are a lot of good things in the jade note left by my mother, enough to keep me safe.
Now we have switched light and dark with the enemy, and we don't want to find ourselves in a dilemma, this is the only way. β
Wen Feng saw that she had made up her mind, her eyes were firm, and there was a confident smile on the corner of her mouth.
"You're exactly the same as your mother when she was young!"
Separated from Wen Fengbing, Mo Lan counted the time to wander around the town.
There was a shouting and scolding not far away, and Mo Lan used to hide in the crowd to watch the excitement.
Two gangster-looking big men, with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy under their feet.
"Stinky boy, it's always bad for us, and our brothers will abolish you today."
The young man had a ruthless look in his eyes, and he didn't forgive even if he was trampled on the ground.
"Bah, since the assassination of the big boss, you have been in cahoots with the surnamed Shen, hurting the heavens and reason, and oppressing the people, sooner or later you will die without a place to be buriedββ"
One of the big men kicked him in the jaw, and as a mouthful of blood spat out, several teeth fell out.
"Stinky boy, today we will clean up the portal for Cangshan!"
Cangshan!
Mo Lan easily pulled out the chopsticks on the stall on the side, and the aura condensed, directly shooting through the hand of the person wielding the knife.
The powerful momentum, after the chopsticks penetrated, fell to the ground with the people and smashed into the crowd of onlookers.
Mo Lan covered her mouth, a little surprised, like a child who had done something wrong.
I didn't expect this aura to be so lethal when used.
Looking at the injured person, Mo Lan turned her head and wanted to run.
A large knife blocked her way.
"Stinky girl! I hurt someone and want to run! β
Mo Lan dodged the somersault on his back, took the umbrella on the platform, and wrapped his spiritual energy on it.
Slashed at the big knife that swung again, directly shattering it.
The wrist flipped and the wind was cold, and the handle of the umbrella struck the man's chest, and he immediately flew far away and rolled to the ground.
This time, Mo Lan saw the direction and did not hurt the innocent. γ
"Go back and tell you that the great boss, the Shenwei general Mo Lan has come to suppress the bandits!"
With that, he pulled up the young man who was lying on the ground and looked stunned, and the aura was applied to the soles of his feet, and he disappeared into the street with a few jumps.
Looking at the young man tied to the chair, Mo Lan smiled wrizenly.
"Boy, are you a bandit on Cangshan Mountain? I see you're quite young, why can't you think of becoming a bandit? β
The boy turned his head to the side and remained silent.
Mo Lan took a fruit and shook it in front of his eyes, smiling evilly.
"Don't speak? Do you know that I have come to suppress the bandits, and if you are willing to submit to me and persuade the rest of the mountain to surrender, I will let my army stop and leave you alive. β
The boy still didn't speak, with a disdainful sneer on his face.
Mo Lan pouted and nodded: "Okay, it seems to be a hard bone, the imperial court is determined to suppress bandits this time, and I have also found out a lot of news along the way."
Cangshanzhai is not stable, a few months ago Liu Yu was killed by a traitor, Shenbao became a big boss, Cangshanzhai from the original robbery of the rich and helping the poor, helping the world and saving the people to oppress the people, all evil.
Those who refused to accept Shen Bao were either sent to work as coolies in the village, or they were driven out of the village, or even killed. β
Mo Lan shook her head and said the news that Wen Feng had discovered, and walked around in front of the young man.
While observing the changes in his mood, he verified the reliability of the message.
Yes, she didn't fully trust Wenfeng.
Power blinds people, and human nature cannot stand the test of all.
"If my army attacks the mountain, do you think that Shen Bao will easily take over the mountain and become the king?
It's not that those who disobey him are sent to take the lead and die in vain. β
With that, she could clearly see the boy's eyelashes flutter and his breathing became short.
It seems that the news found out by the wind is true.
Mo Lan walked to the back of the chair and untied the rope that bound him.
"I promise you, destroy Shen Bao and his henchmen, and I will let you leave the rest, and the court will not pursue it."
The boy finally looked up at her, and Mo Lan smiled confidently.
"Happy working together!"
At the door of Cangshan Cottage, Mo Lan stood in front of him with a snatched big knife.
With one foot on the stone, the posture was more like a mountain bandit than the mountain bandit guarding the door.
"Hey! Call your aunt and grandmother out, or I'll burn your bullshit cottage! β
One of them looked her up and down, and said, "Girl, if you want to find something to do, you should go somewhere else, our village owner is busy with affairs, and he has no time to pay attention to you." β
After saying that, a group of mountain bandits laughed, obviously not taking her seriously.
Mo Lan put the big knife on her shoulder, and according to Tong Mu's description, she set her sights on a target.
flew up directly and kicked over a person, and the big knife was across his neck.
"I don't want him to die, so I'll go and tell my aunt!"
Several people looked at each other at the door, and one of them ran to report the news.
Soon, a group of people came to the door of the cottage.
The person who is the leader, how to say it, is worthy of being called Shen Bao, and he looks the same as Shen Gongbao in the cartoon he watched when he was a child.
The man whose hand had been pierced by her snorted and chirped.
I didn't see the one that was knocked away, and it is estimated that the injury is not light, and I can't get out of bed.
"It's her, it's her, it's this stinky girl who hurt our brother, said that she was a Shenwei general, and captured Tong Mu!"
Shen Bao's index finger touched his mustache, and his eyes were full of disdain.
This is the legendary General Shenwei, but a yellow-haired girl.
I received an order last night, and I only said that I was not allowed to hurt the second princess, what kind of general is this.
Unexpectedly, she sent it to the door herself, and according to the news from his people, the marching brigade was at least twenty miles away from here.
It seems that this girl is a new official, eager to make meritorious service, and has left the army.
"General Shenwei, I have heard the general's name for a long time, and I admire it a lot, I don't know if I can enjoy my face and drink it in my village!"
Shen Bao was full of laughter, not looking at the person who was trampled on by her.
Mo Lan snorted coldly: "Hmph! I have heard the name for a long time, what you are talking about is my mother Moman, and it is your aunt and grandmother who are looking for you today, Mo Lan, who knows each other, and will be captured and returned to the imperial court, otherwise my army will come and step on your Cangshan cottage. β
"Presumptuous!"
Shen Bao roared angrily, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Mo Lan.
Mo Lan held the knife horizontally in front of him, blocking the oncoming palm.
However, Shen Bao's strength was not weak, and pushed her several meters away.
A group of merfolk rushed out and surrounded her.
After a few rounds, Mo Lan gradually struggled, and Shen Bao saw the opportunity and put an axe across her neck.
Mo Lan stopped moving, but Mo Yuan in the space was terrified!
"Let go of me!"
Mo Lan was tied up by Wumo, and Shen Bao's subordinates rudely pushed her forward.
"I'm telling you, my army will be here soon, you'd better let me go!"
Shen Bao turned his head and looked at her contemptuously: "With General Shenwei in my hands, such a good hostage, I am still afraid of a group of girls?" Tell you, Cangshan, the man is in charge! Take it down! β
