Lib ReadKong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Ao Shun, Chen Tianshan, and Gao Xianzhi flew to the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 headquarters, feeling startled.
These experts tightly surrounded the place in the blink of an eye.
鈥淲hat鈥檚 going on?鈥?Kong Xuan arrived in a flash.
The buildings surrounding a small courtyard had exploded. There seemed to be a ritual array there earlier, isolating the inside from the outside.
Meng Tai was covered in blood, pressing his hand on a bleeding hole in his abdomen. He lay in a pool of blood but had not died yet.
Kong Xuan immediately placed his palm on Meng Tai鈥檚 back, helping him heal the injuries.
鈥淲hat鈥檚 going on? Your dantian was pierced through, destroying your nascent soul?鈥?Kong Xuan said in shock.
鈥淢ilord, who was it?鈥?a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards asked furiously.
Who nearly killed the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 envoy commander in the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 headquarters?
Many experts now flew over. Mo Yike, Chen Tianshan, and others arrived.
鈥淚t鈥檚 him! Mo Yike! He attacked us! Hurry! The crown prince is inside! The crown prince is going to die!鈥?Meng Tai glared hatefully.
鈥淲hat?鈥?The expressions of the surrounding officials changed.
Chen Tianshan rushed into the courtyard. Indeed, Crown Prince Gu Qin also lay in a pool of blood with a bleeding hole near his heart.
鈥淨uickly save the crown prince!鈥?Chen Tianshan shouted.
Shangguan Hen helped Gu Qin swallow a medicinal pill. Simultaneously, he placed his hand on Gu Qin鈥檚 back.
Wheeze! Gu Qin breathed out.
鈥淗e鈥檚 not dead. That was close. Very close!鈥?Shangguan Hen let out his bated breath.
鈥淨uickly capture Mo Yike! He is the spy!鈥?Meng Tai yelled while glaring.
鈥淵es!鈥?The Embroidered Uniform Guards wanted to charge Mo Yike.
鈥淲ho dares?!鈥?Qin Zibai shielded Mo Yike and glared at the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
鈥淗ow audacious!鈥?Chen Tianshan shouted, immediately stopping everyone.
However, Mo Yike calmly watched all this, in no rush to talk.
鈥淢eng Tai, what happened? You speak!鈥?Chen Tianshan said while glaring.
鈥淗is Highness the Crown Prince visited with a black-clad man earlier, saying he discovered the spy and wanted me to investigate. I happened to be outside then and immediately rushed back when I got word. I had just stepped into the hall when I saw His Highness collapse in a pool of blood. That black-clad man was Mo Yike. That鈥檚 right. It鈥檚 him! I pulled his hood off. He used that lush-green bamboo cane to stab His Highness鈥檚 chest, then knocked me aside upon seeing me. Before I could react, he pieced my dantian with his cane. He wanted to flee, but I risked my life to stop him. Even so, he managed to flee!鈥?Meng Tai looked at Mo Yike hatefully.
鈥淥h? You saw me kill the crown prince and destroy your dantian?鈥?Mo Yike鈥檚 face sank.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 right. I would recognize you even if you were reduced to ashes. You even laid a sound isolation barrier outside this courtyard. Otherwise, my subordinates would have been aware. When you fled, you activated the ritual array and disappeared in the fog. Hahaha! To think you dared to return?!鈥?Meng Tai glared.
The surrounding people glared coldly at Mo Yike.
However, no one tried to capture Mo Yike.
鈥淵ou did not see wrong?鈥?Chen Tianshan asked coldly.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 impossible! It is Mo Yike! Who would look so similar to him?!鈥?Meng Tai declared with a glare.
Now, Gu Qin slowly regained consciousness.
鈥淵our Highness, what happened? Who assassinated you?鈥?Chen Tianshan asked anxiously.
鈥淢o Yike came to my residence today, saying he found the spy. Then he invited me along to ask Meng Tai to investigate. As Meng Tai was not around, we waited here. Unexpectedly, Mo Yike suddenly attacked. I鈥?鈥?Gu Qin said with an unsightly expression as he coughed blood.
Everyone looked at Mo Yike.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 impossible! I was with my lord. We were outside earlier, preparing to head to Duke Tianshan鈥檚 residence in response to Duke Tianshan鈥檚 invitation!鈥?Qin Zibai yelled.
鈥淚 did not send you an invitation, right?鈥?Chen Tianshan felt slightly startled.
Qin Zibai said anxiously, 鈥淗ow is there鈥斺€?
However, Mo Yike stopped Qin Zibai.
鈥淲e all fell for a trap. Haha! You saw me assassinate His Highness and Envoy Commander Meng Tai, but why? Why would I assassinate you?鈥?Mo Yike said coldly.
鈥淵ou want to shift the blame to me? You were clad in black robes when you arrived. No one knew it was you. By killing the crown prince, I would be implicated and lose my position, which would foil the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 investigation into the Wu Imperial Dynasty!鈥?Meng Tai glared.
鈥淗ah! Did you clearly see me?鈥?Mo Yike said coldly.
鈥淚t was you! There鈥檚 no mistaking it!鈥?Meng Tai glared.
Gu Qin also frowned as he looked at Mo Yike. He did not see wrong, either.
鈥淭hat might not be the case!鈥?Kong Xuan frowned.
鈥淥h?鈥?
鈥淲hat you saw might not be true. What if someone else impersonated Lord Mo?鈥?Kong Xuan frowned.
鈥淗ah! Lord Kong, what do you mean?鈥?Shangguan Hen鈥檚 expression turned cold.
Few people knew that Shangguan Hen was capable of seventy-two transformations. However, those who knew happened to be here.
鈥淗uh?鈥?Everyone鈥檚 expression changed.
Mo Yike bowed slightly to Kong Xuan. 鈥淢any thanks for Lord Kong鈥檚 trust. However, I guess that Shangguan Hen is not the spy.鈥?
鈥淗uh?鈥?Everyone鈥檚 face sank.
If it is not Prime Shangguan, it is you?
鈥淲hat a chain of schemes! Who is it? To think that the scheme covered Duke Tianshan, Meng Tai, the crown prince, Shangguan Hen, and me in one assassination attempt?鈥?Mo Yike said with an unsightly expression.
Everyone kept their guard up against Mo Yike but did not take action.
Suddenly, a group of officials rushed over from outside the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 headquarters, apparently instigated.
鈥淢o Yike is the spy? He attempted to assassinate the crown prince and Lord Meng?鈥?
鈥淐apture the spy! Take revenge for the fallen soldiers on the frontline!鈥?
鈥淐apture Mo Yike! He is the spy! Take revenge for our soldiers!鈥?
鈥淜ill him!鈥?
A riot broke out outside.
Some of the major officials wanted to rush over.
鈥淒uke, the spy has been revealed! It is Mo Yike! Quickly capture him!鈥?
More officials poured in.
鈥淎bsolutely disgraceful! Who let you in?!鈥?Chen Tianshan said while glaring.
鈥淢ilord, my son died on the frontline because of him! My son should not have died! He should not have died! It鈥檚 all because of him!鈥?
鈥淢y Borderless Heavenly Capital sent many sons to war this time. His machinations cost their lives!鈥?
鈥淢ilord, take revenge for the grieving families!鈥?
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from innread.com.
Some officials exhorted anxiously.
Mo Yike looked at the restless officials coldly and revealed a faint sneer.𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎
鈥淪omeone is instigating them? Hah! Meng Tai, monitoring the officials is your Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 responsibility. To think that you did not discover so many spies among Borderless Heavenly Capital鈥檚 officials? You have failed in your job!鈥?Mo Yike glared at Meng Tai.
鈥淲hat nonsense! They are coming for you for revenge!鈥?Meng Tai immediately retorted furiously, glaring back.
Meng Tai had already made up his mind that it was Mo Yike. Now that Mo Yike blamed him, he naturally had to counterattack. Furthermore, it would indeed be his fault if there were too many spies in the city. How could he be at fault?
鈥淢o Yike, you did not manage to kill me earlier. It is all too late now. You had better surrender yourself!鈥?Meng Tai glared.
鈥淪hut up!鈥?Chen Tianshan shouted furiously.
However, the crowd was worked up. These people did not listen to Chen Tianshan, determined to take down Mo Yike as if the law would not apply to them.
Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Ao Shun, Gao Xianzhi, and the others showed unsightly expressions. They did not know who was speaking the truth.
However, they could tell that someone had instigated the situation before them.
As more officials heard the news and rushed over, the clamor to arrest Mo Yike intensified. Naturally, the officials in Mo Yike鈥檚 faction spoke up for him. An argument broke out, which resulted in an even bigger backlash that hardened those officials鈥?resolution to capture Mo Yike.
The entire Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 headquarters turned noisy.
Suddenly, a cold shout came from the sky when the officials鈥?emotions were at their peak.
鈥淒uke Tianshan, we left you in charge of the nation. How did things reach such a state? How lacking in decorum!鈥?
The voice was thunderous, suppressing all the officials鈥?voices.
Everyone鈥檚 expression changed as they looked up.
They saw Gu Hai standing in the sky. Then joy immediately appeared on their faces.
鈥淵our Reverence!鈥?the officials saluted in joy.
鈥淩espectfully welcoming back Your Reverence!鈥?Great joy also lit up Chen Tianshan鈥檚 face.
鈥淩espectfully welcoming back Your Reverence!鈥?everyone saluted respectfully.
When Mo Yike saw Gu Hai return, he also smiled faintly.
Mo Yike had never worried since the start, knowing Gu Hai would return today. While others were scheming, he had also laid a trap.
