Chapter 405: The Ninth Prince Became Silver-tongued

Mo Junzhan didn’t believe Xiao Qijun’s words. He winked at Wei Zichao, and the latter drew his long sword, aiming at Ye Zhixin without demur.

As the bright and sharp sword swept in front of Ye Zhixin’s eyes, she was so scared that her legs weakened and she turned pale.

If Dong Shuang didn’t grab her arm from behind, Ye Zhixin might sit on the floor.

Xiao Qijun was anxious to save Ye Zhixin, while Wei Zichao twisted his hand and the sharp sword was on Xiao Qijun’s neck.

If Wei Zichao took a step forward, it would be enough to make blood flow from his neck like water.

Mo Junzhan stated, “I will give you another chance. Tell me where you hid His Excellency.”

Xiao Qijun was still unyielding. “Why did you say that I hid His Excellency? I did everything under Lord Yan’s orders. If you want to know everything, why don’t you ask him, Your Highness?”

He was skilled in passing the buck.

By common sense, what he said was not wrong.

He worked for Yan Xu and followed his orders.

Even if he really did something to Mo Junyang, it was Yan Xu’s order.

If they wanted to know more truth, they should naturally ask Yan Xu.

Hearing Xiao Qijun’s words, Shi Qingxue instantly had the plan to get back at Yan Xu.

However, Mo Junzhan stopped her in advance and expressed calmly, “Qingxue, no hurry. We have time to interrogate Yan Xu. We have to force this guy to tell us where Junyang is.”

Not to mention others, even Xiao Qijun looked confused.

Why did Mo Junzhan believe that Xiao Qijun knew Mo Junyang’s whereabouts?

“Because before Junyang disappeared, he said that if he had an accident, I should ask you, and then I would know everything. If you are stubborn and refuse to confess, I can hurt Ye Zhixin. Then you will say it.”

Mo Junzhan said complacently as he saw all people’s confusion, with proud and admiration for Mo Junyang in his words.

His attitude changed so greatly.

Hearing that Mo Junyang ordered to harm her, Ye Zhixin instantly showed a miserable and pitiful expression, as if she were struck heavily, and she could hardly stand steadily.

However, except Xiao Qijun, nobody present would care about her life and death.

Shi Qingxue acutely noticed the unspeakable relationship between Ye Zhixin and Xiao Qijun. She turned to Ye Zhixin and guided patiently, “Miss Ye, don’t you want to save His Excellency? You know everything but refuse to say anything. I can see that you want to harm him instead of saving him.”

“I don’t!” Ye Zhixin seemed to have been insulted and shouted at Shi Qingxue in a rage.

Qingxue was completely indifferent and stated coldly, “Huh! If you really care about Junyang, how would you watch him in danger and do nothing? Don’t say that you care about him in the future, in case that it disgusts others.”

She said that without mercy, and she was really mad at Ye Zhixin.

If Ye Zhixin confessed earlier, Mo Junyang might have been saved.

As Mo Junzhan said, Ye Zhixin and Xiao Qijun colluded with each other. If they spoke it out earlier, perhaps the trip to Shang Village wouldn’t become like this.

Ye Zhixin was rebuked by Shi Qingxue repeatedly and blushed with shame. She couldn’t find proper words to retort.

However, Xiao Qijun couldn’t bear to see Ye Zhixin being treated unfairly. He howled at Shi Qingxue furiously, “Zhixin knows nothing. If you have something to ask, just ask me.”

Shi Qingxue squinted at him and asked scornfully, “What can you do?”

Xiao Qijun blurted out, “I know where His Excellency is.”

As soon as he finished his words, he showed a remorseful expression.

Why did he speak it out so soon?

Shi Qingxue didn’t give him time to regret it but asked anxiously, “Where is Junyang? Tell us now.”

Xiao Qijun lowered his head and avoided Shi Qingxue’s eyes, looking hesitant.

“Xiao, it’s pointless to hide it now. Just tell them,” Ye Zhixin seemed to have finally come round and talked to Xiao Qijun.

Afterward, she paused for a moment and then asked with hesitation, “And…what’s wrong with His Excellency? Is he okay now?”

Xiao Qijun finally sighed with relief. “I am one of the people who attacked His Excellency and His Highness in Shang Village, yet it was Yan Xu’s order, and I had to follow it. Later, I sent subordinates to save His Excellency in secret. If there is no accident, he must be still in the stockaded village now.”

“Stockaded village?”

Ye Zhixin explained to all people, “Before Xiao works for Yan Xu as a private assistant, he was the chief of Black Water Stockaded Village, which is…”

It seemed hard for her to speak it out. After a while, she continued in a low voice, “The people from Black Water Stockaded Village guard the strategic passages, the mountain paths to the small towns in the neighborhood in Jiangzhou City and do something illegal occasionally to provide for themselves…”

Her explanation was so tactful. Mo Junzhan made it clear mercilessly, “So Xiao is a chief of brigands?”

Ye Zhixin was speechless and looked embarrassed, while she nodded in the end. “Right, but Xiao and his subordinates never kill anybody. Even if they rob, they just rob the bad people who are wealthy yet cruel, so they are not evil. Moreover, if Xiao and the men in the stockaded village hadn’t helped me, I must have died earlier.”

Mo Junzhan interrupted Ye Zhixin’s long speech and asked impatiently, “What does it have to do with me?”

Ye Zhixin was speechless.

Fuck! Why were the people from the imperial palace so strange? Hadn’t they learnt to have compassion for womanhood and be friendly?

Ye Zhixin looked at Mo Junzhan with a grievance and weakness in her eyes, while the latter didn’t look at her but ordered Xiao Qijun, “Take us to Black Water Stockaded Village.”

Xiao Qijun also looked resentful and glared at the sword on his neck, frowning with displeasure. “Is this what you should do when you beg somebody?”

Mo Junzhan snorted with disdain. “Beg you? Stop Joking. I can pinch you to death with only one hand. I just keep you alive for now because you are useful. If you delay saving Junyang, I will let you feel what a living death is.

“Don’t pretend in front of me. Lead the way in the front now.”

Xiao Qijun finally realized that all these people were bosses, including the masters, guards and maids.

When they were bossy, they were more arbitrary than Yan Xu, and there was no chance to change them.

Xiao Qijun had to admit his destiny and answer, “Black Water Stockaded Village is not far away from here. It will take only more than two hours. Just follow me.”

Without delay, Shi Qingxue told Wei Zichao to capture Xiao Qijun, and they rushed to Black Water Stockaded Village.

Mo Junzhan was wounded seriously and just woke up, yet he didn’t let himself be free. He followed Shi Qingxue into the carriage.

Shi Qingxue could do nothing to Mo Junzhan who was obstinate but touch her forehead as she had a headache.

Mo Junzhan intentionally asked in surprise, “Qingxue, are you okay?”

Shi Qingxue glanced at him and responded in a gentle tone, “If it’s fine that I want to knock you to death, I am okay.”

They were almost the most treacherous words that Shi Qingxue had said to Mo Junzhan, while the listener didn’t get mad but showed a flattering smile, explaining with guilt, “Junyang saved me, and of course I should repay him and save him.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t object to Mo Junzhan’s intention, yet he hadn’t recovered from a serious injury, so perhaps he was even less powerful than her. If there was something wrong with him on the way, how could she explain to the emperor after going back?

Mo Junzhan seemed to see through Shi Qingxue and added in advance, “Anyway, I am in the carriage now. We have to hurry up and save Junyang. You can’t leave me on the way.”

It was more unrealistic to send Mo Junzhan back before they went to save Mo Junyang.

Shi Qingxue forced a smile. “You have a perfect plan. It’s said that people will have a completely new appraisal of somebody if they haven’t seen him for three days. I haven’t talked with you for several days, while you become so silver-tongued?”

Especially when Mo Junzhan retorted Xiao Qijun, Shi Qingxue didn’t know him seemingly.

Mo Junzhan smiled in embarrassment and rubbed his nose, saying in a low voice, “To be frank with you, Junyang taught me to say that.”

“What do you mean?” Shi Qingxue frowned. Why was Mo Junyang so influential after he disappeared?

“We were forced to the cliff last night. At that time, I and Junyang occupied an important place respectively and guarded it with difficulty. He made the best use of time and analyzed the current situation with me, telling me what I should do next. Later, I was injured seriously by the enemies and fell to the cliff when I didn’t notice it, and Junyang followed me in order to save me…

“I don’t know what happened later. When I woke up, I was at the bottom of the cliff, and our horse was next to me. I got on the horse’s back and came back, but since I can be alive in this condition, Junyang must be fine.”

Mo Junzhan told Shi Qingxue in detail what happened when they were in danger. In the end, he comforted her with certainty.

Shi Qingxue was absent-minded and nodded, in a daze.

She was certainly willing to believe that Mo Junyang was safe and sound, but the fact was that he didn’t come back.

Therefore, even if Mo Junyang was not injured, he must be confined and have no freedom.

When Shi Qingxue thought that Mo Junyang was so arrogant yet he was attacked sneakily and kidnapped by a group of unpresentable brigands, she felt bad and had to push Wei Zichao to urge the horses more.

In order to distract herself, she forced herself to think about the whole case. Xiao Qijun worked for Yan Xu on the surface but colluded with Ye Zhixin in secret. Ye Zhixin seemed to be wronged and fall for Mo Junyang. Xiao Qijun seemed to be against Mo Junyang and nobody knew the reason…

The puzzles intertwined. Till the carriage moved into the domain of Black Water Stockaded Village, she couldn’t figure it out.

Somebody shouted outside, “Our chief has come back.”

Shi Qingxue lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage had entered the stockaded village. The people on both sides of the carriage held long knives and spears and looked burly. They didn’t look like good people at a glance.

She ran her eyes and saw the back of a man sitting on the stone stool in the middle of the yard.

That man seemed to feel it and looked back.

Junyang.

Shi Qingxue opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

She acted more quickly than her consciousness and jumped out of the carriage before she realized it, running to Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang got up slowly and smiled at Shi Qingxue gently.

When Shi Qingxue almost ran close to Mo Junyang, the smile on the man’s face disappeared at once, and he leaned backward feebly.
