Chapter 618 Leading you into an urn
As soon as Liu Enze finished speaking, they heard a series of fireworks bursting into the sky. Liu Enze and the Crown Prince both looked in that direction and saw many fireworks exploding in the night sky, forming a row of words: "A Hundred Years of Harmony, A Grand Wedding Ceremony, Welcome to the Event".
The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, his face cold: "Yi Moxu!"
In the courtyard of the city's inner city garrison, Yi Moxu was also watching fireworks.
Xing Jun and He Chang'an stood on either side of Yi Moxu, waiting for the words to disappear from the night sky. Xing Jun then lowered his head and clicked his tongue twice: "Although it was a bit rushed, the effect of the fireworks was still excellent."
"Ah."
Xing Jun stroked his chin: "What you've done is really too much of a target of hatred. Right now, in the Siyou Kingdom's army camp, Liu Enze and the Crown Prince probably wish they could kill you."
Upon hearing this, Yi Moxu laughed: "It's not just that he wishes he could kill me."
Yi Moxu lowered his head and instructed, "Tomorrow, find a woman from our pavilion whose figure is similar to Ye Qing'an's, disguise her as Ye Qing'an, and have her stay in the city magistrate's mansion. Have the servants in the mansion secretly send food to her courtyard every day, making it look like she is there."
"Isn't my sister-in-law supposed to come to the ceremony in three days? Isn't it unnecessary?"
He Chang'an, however, understood the meaning behind Yi Moxu's words: "Does Your Majesty believe that the Crown Prince of Siyou Kingdom will send someone to rescue them?"
He Chang'an pondered for a moment: "Does Your Majesty intend to put on a show for them, lure them into a trap, and then catch them like turtles in a jar?"
"Hmm." Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes and looked up at the night sky, which had returned to calm: "And I suspect that the person who infiltrated our Anzhi City to rescue people is most likely Liu Enze."
"Liu Enze?" Xing Jun blinked. "It shouldn't be, right? Isn't Liu Enze's spiritual power very weak? If he comes, wouldn't that be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?"
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes: "Although his Xuanling technique is not strong, he can bewitch people and weave illusions to trap and kill them. Moreover, his five senses and six perceptions are very sharp, so it is an extremely simple thing for him to sneak into the city to gather information."
"Weave an illusion to trap someone to death?" Xing Jun asked, puzzled. "What kind of magic is that? Does Liu Enze know how to do that?"
"This is... Nightshade's skill, isn't it?"
There were only the three of them here, and Yi Moxu no longer hid anything, simply nodding slightly: "It is indeed Ye Mei's skill. Liu Enze is Ye Mei."
"Liu Enze is Nightshade?" Xing Jun and He Chang'an exclaimed almost in unison.
After the two finished shouting, they fell silent again. It took Xing Jun a while to recover: "Liu Enze is Night Demon? How is that possible? Liu Enze is a human! Moreover, he is the head of the Liu family, who is quite famous in Siyou Kingdom. He has lived under the gaze of everyone since birth."
"Nightmare's appearance is so distinctive that you can recognize her at a glance."
Yi Moxu's face was full of nonchalance: "If a Night Demon mates with a human, the offspring can be Night Demons that look like humans."
"These Night Elves can then live among humans just like ordinary people, concealing their identities. It's not just Liu Enze..."
"Nightmare and a human..." Xing Jun's eyes widened in shock. "Who is it that would be interested in Nightmare? And even be with Nightmare..."
Xing Jun bent his two thumbs and gently touched them together: "Can you even have a child with Ye Mei? This is... way too... unless you're blind?"
He Chang'an wasn't particularly surprised: "The world is vast and full of wonders. But how did Your Excellency discover this?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Moxu's gaze softened instantly: "It wasn't me who discovered it, it was Ye Qing'an."
"When she was at the Ye residence, her stepmother was also a Night Demon. She wanted to harm her, but she saw through her plan and that's how she discovered the truth."
As Yi Moxu spoke, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile: "She's very smart and capable, isn't she?"
"..." Xing Jun couldn't help but shudder when he saw Yi Moxu's appearance. What... what strange thing possessed his master?
Why would he show such an expression?
My goodness, this is terrifying!
He Chang'an nodded: "If that's the case, then many things seem to make sense."
"However, if Liu Enze is Nightshade, then things seem to be a bit more difficult."
Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly: "It is a bit difficult, but it's not entirely without a solution. After all, you just said that Liu Enze's Xuanling Technique is not strong."
"Since I dared to lure him here, I naturally have a way to make sure he can't go back."
"Liu Enze wants to use the art of night to weave an illusion and trap people in it. Or perhaps he wants to bewitch people and make them do what he says. But first, he needs to see the person."
"If we can't see the person, then everything we've done will have been in vain."
Upon hearing Yi Moxu's words, Xing Jun chuckled: "The Siyou Kingdom's army has no idea why we, who previously captured two cities with lightning speed, have stalled here in Anzhi City."
"They will never know the hidden secrets and mysteries of Anzhi City."
“Yes.” Yi Moxu’s eyes shone brightly. “We’ve been planning for so long, it’s just right to let the Siyou Kingdom’s army see what we’ve got.”
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, she turned around and said, "Let's go back."
Xing Jun responded, but noticed that Yi Moxu was walking in a direction that was not towards his own courtyard.
"Where is Your Excellency going so late?"
“Go back to Li Huo Pavilion.” Yi Moxu raised his hand and waved. “Gu Duo’s remnant soul has been found. I need to bring Gu Duo’s remnant soul back to Li Huo Pavilion to awaken Gu Duo.”
"Gu Duo's secrets have been hidden for so many years. It's time for them to see the light of day again."
Upon hearing this, Xing Jun's eyes lit up immediately: "I want to go too, I want to go too! Gu Duo is a legend, I've wanted to meet him for a while, but I've been staying here and haven't had the chance. Did you bring Gu Duo with you? Where is he?"
"You can't see it."
Yi Moxu sneered, and then vanished from the spot right in front of the two of them.
"Gone...gone?" Xing Jun's eyes widened. "Where did the Venerable One go? How could he suddenly disappear? Could it be...that the Venerable One's power has improved again?"
He Chang'an glanced at Xing Jun: "You're being far too slow-witted. The Lord only took a few days to travel back and forth to the Monster Forest twice. But how long would it take you to get there from here?"
"That's right." Xing Jun woke up. "Why didn't I think of that?"
"The Lord is uncovering more and more secrets, but he is growing stronger, which is a good thing for us."
