Chapter 211: Power in Hand

However…

Mo Xiangbin didn’t lose temper, and even his expression didn’t change. He took out a jade token symbolizing the royal power from his pocket and gave it to Mo Junyang. “Take it, and then you can transfer all soldiers in the Mo Country. When anybody sees it, he sees me. Kill anybody who dares to disobey you!”

“Wow!”

There was another uproar in the crowd, but Mo Xiangbin was in a rage. Even if they had objections to his decision, they just looked at one another, and nobody dared to irritate him at the critical moment.

They had to watch Mo Junyang put the jade token which represented the supreme power of the Mo Country in his pocket.

After ordering, Mo Xiangbin closed his eyes and looked like a deflated ball, lying on the bed still.

Mo Junyu felt terribly worried to see that, but Mo Xiangbin didn’t give him a chance to speak.

He had no choice but to ask Mo Junyang, “Junyang, the rebel army came threateningly. How do you think we should resist?”

As he asked, it meant that the crown prince’s followers supported Mo Junyang as the leading role. Even if the fourth prince’s followers had objections, they could do nothing but hold back.

“You stay here to protect His Majesty, the officials and noblemen. I will give you two hundred elite imperial guards to guard outside the residences of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. Nobody is allowed to get close to them.” Mo Junyang came straight to the point and spoke out his arrangements without unnecessary words.

Mo Junyu agreed with him, but Mo Junhao was reluctant to do nothing important and said in public, “Since Junyu will stay here to protect my father, I should do my best to help. Junyang, please give me some soldiers as the officials’ families and common people in the capital city also need protection urgently.”

He mentioned what many people were thinking about. Everybody present had families at home. If the war continued, the first to be killed would be their families and relatives.

The fourth prince’s followers echoed Mo Junhao and hoped that he could hurry to lead the soldiers to protect their families, and even some of the crown prince’s followers looked at Mo Junhao expectantly.

They didn’t speak but showed anxiety and gratitude in their eyes.

Mo Junyu pursed his lips and noticed at a glance that Mo Junhao wanted to leave a better impression on all the officials and to win them over.

He asked with displeasure, “Junhao, you split the army. Then who will lead the soldiers to resist the betrayers?”

Mo Junhao passed the buck to Mo Junyang. “Father has told Junyang to capture the betrayers, so I don’t dare to take the credit for myself. I can only try to do what I can.”

He paused for a while and then glanced at Mo Junyu meaningfully, adding slowly, “Junyu, if you worry about it, you can assist Junyang. I can finish the easy job to protect Father.”

He could win the favor of the officials by protecting their families, while if he stayed in the imperial palace to guard the emperor and Empress Dowager, he would make a favorable impression on the emperor and could ensure his own safety. It was a lucrative job.

After all, nobody was willing to confront the rebel army.

It was dangerous and would give others a chance to comment.

Mo Junyu certainly couldn’t give it to Mo Junhao, but he couldn’t pester Mo Junhao at this hour.

After weighing, he had to give the most difficult job to Mo Junyang. “Junyang, thanks for leading the army to resist the enemies.”

The crown prince said that with difficulty and didn’t dare to look at Mo Junyang when he spoke.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang didn’t express any displeasure. His indifferent face was emotionless and nobody could see what was on his mind. He just responded impassively, “Okay.”

Then Mo Junyang gave more orders and told them how to guard the imperial palace and protect the families of the noblemen in the city.

He made everything messy in order.

The frightened noblemen, officials, generals and soldiers got relieved gradually and thought that this rebellion was not so terrifying.

“Everybody, if you have no objection, please do as His Excellency ordered as soon as possible.”

Mo Junyu gave the final word and set it in stone at last.

Meanwhile, he entrusted Mo Junyang seriously, “This time, many things are relevant. Junyang, hope you can do your best.”

Mo Junyang nodded and agreed silently.

Before leaving, he just summoned Wei Zichao and gave his order calmly. “Stay with Qingxue all the time to ensure her safety. You can’t let her get hurt.”

Wei Zichao didn’t feel a grievance as he was assigned to protect a woman when a war was coming. He ignored the weird expression in all people’s eyes around and stood straight, patting his chest to promise, “I will complete the task.”

But at this time, Qu Yuebai walked forward and pulled Mo Junyang to one side.

He looked worried and stated in a low voice, “I wanted to tell you about this matter just now.”

“What’s wrong?”

“When you told me to escort the women to the back earlier, I didn’t see Shi Qingxue walk there. At that time, I thought she stayed with you, so I didn’t care about it. But just now I searched the party and didn’t see her…”

Seeing that Mo Junyang’s face darkened in an instant, Qu Yuebai couldn’t continue what he wanted to say.

After seeing that, Mo Junyu thought it would be bad.

Mo Junyang’s beloved woman was missing, and how could they expect him to fight against the enemies?

The crown prince hurriedly told the servants to come and asked them one by one where Shi Qingxue was.

After he asked several servants, a eunuch who looked ordinary finally came out and whispered, “I seemed to see that Lady Qingxue followed this guard and went out.”

While speaking, he pointed to Wei Ziye.

“What?” Mo Junyu was shocked and didn’t dare to look at Mo Junyang’s face. Then he instantly summoned the guard who watched the palace gate and asked him.

The gate guard replied while trembling, “Lady Qingxue robbed a horse and went out of the palace on horseback.”

“Why didn’t you stop her?” Mo Junyu shouted in exasperation at the guard.

The young guard was frightened and shrank his neck, defending himself in a sobbing tone. “Lady Qingxue had the Empress Dowager’s token, and I couldn’t stop her.”

Moreover, at that time, Shi Qingxue looked irritable and waved the long whip, with killing intent. She would start a fight at any time.

No matter how bold the young guard was, he didn’t dare to stop her.

Qu Yuebai asked calmly, “Did you see where she went after leaving the palace?”

The young guard knew that and answered in a hurry, “I saw that she rode the horse to the north street. She must have returned to Duke Shi’s mansion.”

“Madam Shi didn’t attend the party in the palace today, and it’s understandable that Qingxue worried about her mother’s safety. Duke Shi’s mansion is not far away from here. I will go to their mansion first. We can dispatch the soldiers to go to the other mansions, and it won’t be delayed.” Mo Junhao asked to save Shi Qingxue, and meanwhile he didn’t ignore the other officials’ families.

All people agreed and urged Mo Junhao to set out.

Mo Junyang didn’t go against Mo Junhao because of Shi Qingxue. He only ordered Wei Zichao, “You go with him. After you find Qingxue, just stay with her.”

“Yes!” Wei Zichao nodded and replied. He was about to go away.

But Mo Junyu didn’t agree.

He stopped Wei Zichao and expressed unwillingly, “Junhao has taken so many people to save Lady Qingxue, and she will be fine. Zichao is so capable of fighting, and it’s better if he stays in the imperial palace to protect my father. If you still feel worried, just tell Zhou Ji to go to Duke Shi’s mansion with Junhao.”

Mo Junyang shook his head to refuse without thinking, and he spoke out his reason straightforwardly. “Zhou Ji is not powerful enough, and he is not good at fighting alone.”

After speaking, he ignored Mo Junyu’s changing expression and pushed Wei Zichao out directly.

Then he told Qu Yuebai something. Afterward, he brought a spear and left the imperial garden.

Zhou Ji felt unhappy as Mo Junyang disdained him directly.

But he didn’t dare to reveal his emotion in front of Mo Junyu who was about to explode. He just asked cautiously, “Your Highness, what shall we do next?”

Mo Junyu glanced at him coldly and said crossly, “Haven’t you heard His Excellency’s orders? Do as he said.”

“Uh… Yes!” Zhou Ji was affected by his master’s anger and became humbler.

Seeing Zhou Ji’s obedience and thinking of Wei Zichao’s face which was neither haughty nor humble, Mo Junyu felt more irritable.

Both of them were guards, but why were they greatly different?

The crown prince was depressed.

Mo Junyu’s fear of Mo Junyang rose to the extreme because Wei Zichao left. He clenched his fists, and cruelness flashed in his sharp eyes.

He made a decision in his heart secretly.

Hearing that the rebel army attacked the capital, Shi Qingxue realized that something bad would happen.

She was from a military family and was sensitive to such rebellion. And she had been taught many times.

As soon as a rebellion started, the first to be killed would be the powerless families of the generals and soldiers.

As long as a general’s family was under control, no matter how brave and skillful in fighting that general was, he would become weak and collapse at the first blow in front of his family’s life.

Even though the Shi Army was not in the capital for now, they would confront the rebel army sooner or later.

So the family members in Duke Shi’s mansion, especially Dong Hui couldn’t fall into the hands of the rebellious soldiers. Otherwise, everything would be messed up.

Shi Qingxue didn’t have time to tell Mo Junyang and immediately robbed a horse, rushing to the mansion.

However, when she reached the mansion after urging the horse, many soldiers surrounded at the gate.

Everybody was dressed in military officer’s uniform of the Mo Country, with a white cloth tied up on the right arm.

“What are you going to do? Let go of Madam! Let go of her!” A clamor came from the gate.

Several soldiers dragged Dong Hui to Mo Junjiu, and Mammy Zheng followed behind, pounding a soldier’s back repeatedly and trying to grab Dong Hui back.

Al last, that soldier got impatient and pushed Mammy Zheng away.

Mammy Zheng fell backward and bumped into the gate post. Then she went into a coma silently.

“Zheng!” Dong Hui shouted anxiously and wanted to look back.

Mo Junjiu instantly pulled her to him and threatened her without mercy. “Madam Shi, don’t move randomly. Otherwise, you will get injured later. I have reminded you.”

While speaking, he glanced at Dong Hui’s belly.

Dong Hui was scared and covered her belly with both hands. She stared at Mo Junjiu with fear and alertness, shouting while trembling, “Your Highness, my husband has never offended you. Why do you bully his family? Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?”

Mo Junjiu sneered and seemed to laugh at Dong Hui’s foolishness.

He said at leisure, “Now it’s time to change dynasties. Do you think I will care about this? I want to see how my father would blame me after the winner becomes the emperor.”

Dong Hui finally realized that Mo Junjiu was truly going to rebel. The blood drained from her pale face, and she started to tremble involuntarily, as if she were extremely frightened.

Mo Junjiu nodded with satisfaction and pushed Dong Hui back to his subordinates, telling them to watch her.

But before the man approached Dong Hui, she started to struggle desperately somehow, and his subordinates couldn’t even catch her.
