EBE Chapter 141 The Bound Mo Jingchun
Chapter 141 The Bound Mo Jingchun
All I think about is eating.
Xiao Zhengdu was annoyed by her innocent look. Was she pretending not to know to divert his attention?
So that people will stop focusing on that wild man and protect him.
However, after being out of the capital for more than half a month, he couldn't wait to provoke a dirty thing that was nothing.
What is Li Huaiqing doing? Can't we stop her with her head full of calculations?
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let someone prepare a full table for you when you get out. Why bother eating their dry food?"
Xiao Zhengdu's tone slowed down, and he finally remembered to ask her what was going on.
"Didn't they say you were buried by a collapsed mine? They are still digging. Every time they dig up a body, they are terrified, fearing that it was you. How did you end up here?"
Lou Xiao felt a little ashamed. It was all because of his miscalculation when he rashly entered the mine. Who would have thought that he would cause so much trouble.
"The mine collapsed and we couldn't get out, so we had to find another way out. Mo Jingchun came down to save me on his own, and he was familiar with the mine road."
With several guards clearing the way, the mountain road was much easier to walk on, but there were always branches blocking the way.
Lou Xiao raised her hand to push it away, and talked about Mo Jingchun's peculiarity.
"He has been at the mine for many years and is very familiar with everything. If we want to find the person behind the scenes, we have to question him carefully."
It turned out to be the case.
She mentioned his name and it was very familiar to him, which made him risk his life to save her.
The relationship between the two is ironclad and extraordinary.
No matter how unhappy Xiao Zhengdu was, he couldn't say anything sarcastic when it came to business.
He pondered and said, "The guard said that the totem on his waist is not that of an ordinary person. Do you know his identity?"
After hesitating for a while, she still told the truth. Lou Xiao couldn't find any reason to hide it, especially in front of Xiao Zhengdu who came from afar to save her.
“He is a Nanzi who was expelled.”
"Nanzi."
As the King of Youshan who has always been at the center of power, he certainly knows what Nanzi means.
He immediately thought of the chaotic state of Nanzi and wondered who dared to open a mine privately.
Nanzi was not completely under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so it was unknown whether he had other intentions at this time.
Lou Xiao mentioned what she noticed, that besides Nanzi, there should be other forces.
"There are many people from the underworld involved. Have you encountered any of them when you entered the forest? Have you found out where they came from?"
She has been missing for quite some time. Now that we have mobilized so many troops here,
With Li Huaiqing and Xiao Zhengdu here, there must be an investigation.
“Of course I met them. They were quite skilled and it took some effort to catch them.
The guards around Erliu and Li Huaiqing were quite capable and helped a lot. But they failed to protect you, so even though they were able to find the account book and were of great help, they still have to be punished."
Lou Xiao felt so sorry that she almost fainted. She couldn't even open her mouth to plead for them.
As soon as Xiao Zhengdu left the palace, he had the bearing of the King of Youshan, and he was awe-inspiring and could not be ignored.
He is indeed of royal blood, and his every word and action is full of power.
It made Lou Xiao feel strange and familiar.
"It's good to have the account book. No one can escape the truth after getting to the bottom of it. Where are the stones from the mines taken? Do you know who is refining them?"
The road ahead gradually widened, and the dense forest gradually heard more human voices.
As they were about to leave the woods, Lou Xiao looked back at the dejected Mo Jingchun and once again reminded the people around him,
"Ask someone to look after his injuries. He almost died before."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Mo Jingchun being tied up. Business was more important, and Xiao Zhengdu's guards would not deliberately make things difficult for him.
But Xiao Zhengdu himself would deliberately embarrass her,
"A Nanzi barbarian is worthy of the Duke of Zhenguo's attention."
"Don't say that. What's the difference between a barbarian and an ordinary person? Nanzi is also a subject of your majesty."
Lou Xiao really didn't like the contempt in his words. Even if the court did want to use Nan Zi,
But after all, they have already surrendered to the imperial court, so they should be treated equally.
"The imperial court sent people to educate them. Reading and knowing etiquette are the basics. Do you know what happened to the private school teachers who entered Nanzi?"
Lou Xiao really didn't know about this. In her opinion, Mo Jingchun was not an ignorant person. It seemed that Nan Zi was not lacking in education.
"--what happens?"
Glancing back at Mo Jingchun who was being escorted by the guards, Xiao Zhengdu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Either they will die of a sudden illness, or they will tremble in fear. Nanzi has special skills and is good at witchcraft. He regards human life as worthless.
He has no idea about respecting teachers and ethical principles.
He ate raw meat and drank blood, was brave and fierce, and openly opposed the control of the imperial officials.
If it weren’t for the incident in the northern border, which had overwhelmed us, how could we have allowed them to govern themselves until now?”
He was explaining and also warning Lou Xiaonan about human nature, telling her not to be seduced by beauty.
"The recalled officials reported that in village fights, the winners would even capture the loser's children, eat them, and then string the children's bones on their chests as a sign of honor."
Xiao Zhengdu's face was full of disdain, "Are you not a barbarian if you do this?"
Lou Xiao was speechless. She didn't even know Nan Zi as well as Xiao Zhengdu, who lived in Beijing for a long time.
Except for Mo Jingchun who was also treated as a slave after being captured, I have never heard Mo Jingchun mention anything else.
She also turned her head and gave Mo Jingchun a complicated look. He seemed to have noticed something, and lowered his head with his eyelashes fluttering, but in the end he still didn't speak.
Xiao Zhengdu noticed her actions, snorted lightly, flicked his long sleeves and strode forward to shake them off.
Lou Xiao stood in front of Mo Jingchun, not knowing how to ask him whether what Xiao Zhengdu said was true.
In the end, he just turned around in silence and followed Xiao Zhengdu, allowing the guards to take him away and imprison him.
After she left, Mo Jingchun raised his head and looked at her and the nobleman's backs, without saying anything for a long time.
"What are you looking at? Don't think you can climb up the ladder. The Zhenguo Mansion is not for people like you to enter."
The talkative guard slapped him on the back, interrupting Mo Jingchun's sight.
He staggered and spit out blood, his vision went black, and he almost fell down.
It was a big deal that a good person was hurt by me. Although I thought that the wild man was insignificant, I was still afraid that Miss Lou, the Duke of Zhenguo, would find out and blame me.
He hurriedly helped him to steady himself, then threw him into the dark room and left him there.
Only Mo Jingchun was left in the darkness, repeatedly thinking about the man who suddenly appeared today.
The man who calls himself "this king"
As expected of——
Lord Zhenguogong,
He did guess that she was an official, but since she had such a close relationship with the royal family, it was no wonder that everyone around her treated him like a nobody.
Mo Jingchun is just a worthless person and is indeed not as good as them.
His deep laughter echoed in the darkness, intermittent, and ended with an unbearable cough.
At this time, she was surrounded by people, asking about her well-being and wearing fine clothes.
And he fell into darkness again, waiting for the judgment that would come at an unknown time.
What on earth is he?
