The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 425

Bei Suqi was very angry. Shangguan Ziling saw the sword wound on Bei Suqi's arm, her heart sank, and she said, "Cousin, are you injured? Bandage it first."

Bei Suqi waved his hands, "It's just a minor injury. What makes me angry is that you escaped in such a miserable way. How despicable!"

"Cousin, you bandage your wounds first and take a rest. We will fight back and avenge our previous defeat!"

Bei Suqi noticed the look Mo Shaoxie was giving him and was stunned. Damn it! What's going on? Why do I feel a little scared?

Bei Suqi smiled awkwardly, "Okay, cousin, you're pregnant, so don't fight all day long! We are enough for you."

As soon as Bei Suqi finished speaking, he felt that the pressure on his body was gone.

Bei Suqi was speechless. The rumors about the regent of the Dongyue Dynasty were indeed true! Just a glance at him made him feel under great pressure.

Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and said softly: "Ling'er, your cousin is right, you don't have to worry about these things, just leave them to the secret guards."

When Shangguan Ziling wanted to speak, the words that were about to come out froze into silence in front of Mo Shaoxie's deep eyes.

Those eyes were like a deep lake, reflecting the stars and the sky, and seemed to hide endless storms and tenderness.

At that moment, Shangguan Ziling seemed to understand the worries and concerns in Mo Shaoxie's heart.

The little fat man in the space could naturally feel the mood swings of his master. He said softly, "Master, the master is also worried about you. After all, your belly is getting bigger now, and you can't stand the tossing and turning."

Shangguan Ziling took a deep breath, calmed down, and responded: "Yes, I know. If the secret guards hadn't been fighting with those assassins just now, I really wanted to throw out the poison."

The little fat boy laughed and continued, "Haha! Master, for the sake of the baby, you have to start accumulating merits now and don't have any murderous thoughts. If it's someone you must kill, don't get involved."

Shangguan Ziling fell into deep thought after hearing what Xiao Pangdun said. She thought about it and finally nodded: "Xiao Pangdun, do you believe this too?"

The little fat boy replied: "Some things have to be believed, Master. Just think of it as accumulating blessings for the baby!"

Shangguan Ziling felt a warm current in her heart after hearing what Xiao Pangdun said. She knew that Xiao Pangdun was right, and she should let go of the killing for the sake of her baby and her future.

So she gently stroked her belly and said softly, "Well, little fat boy, I know."

Shangguan Ziling then took out stacks of dry food, exquisite pastries and fresh fruits from the space and placed them in front of everyone.

The food gave off an enticing aroma, instantly dispelling their fatigue and hunger from the journey.

Everyone sat in a circle, enjoying this rare quiet time, their hearts filled with gratitude.

After resting for a few hours, it was getting dark and everyone had recovered their strength.

Just then, a burst of brisk footsteps was heard, and Mo Feng's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"Master, Princess, I'm back." Mo Feng bowed respectfully to Mo Shaoxie.

Mo Shaoxie said calmly: "How is the investigation going?"

"Master, Princess, you won't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked!"

"You kid, why don't you just tell me quickly? Why are you keeping me in suspense?" Bei Suqi slapped Mo Feng's shoulder fiercely.

"Master, Princess, after an in-depth investigation, I have discovered an astonishing secret." Mo Feng's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force. "The county magistrate's name is Chu Xiong. He was the top scorer in the imperial examination seven years ago. The emperor valued his talent and wanted to keep him, but Chu Xiong said he wanted to return to Rongcheng to be the county magistrate and benefit the people. At that time, the county magistrate of Rongcheng was old and retired to his hometown, so the emperor agreed."

Mo Shaoxie said coldly: "Speak to the point!"

Mo Feng immediately said: "Hey, this Chu Xiong actually secretly refined weapons in Tengwu Mountain and trained soldiers in secret."

Shangguan Ziling frowned upon hearing this, with a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes: "Ah? Does this county magistrate want to rebel? He is also training troops?"

Mo Feng took a deep breath and replied, "Princess, our subordinates dare not get too close, so as not to alert the enemy. But according to our observation, there are many masters patrolling nearby, and the number of soldiers is huge, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of people!"

This number shocked Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie. Tens of thousands of people is not a small number. If there is any illegal behavior, the consequences will be disastrous.

Mo Feng continued, "Master, Princess, there is one more thing I need to report. This county magistrate Chu Xiong has a special identity. He is from Xiliang."

"A person from Xiliang?" There was a hint of coldness in Mo Shaoxie's voice.

You have to know that Xiliang and their Dongyue Dynasty had just ended a war, and it ended with Xiliang's defeat, so they signed a letter of surrender and ceded land and paid compensation.

Now, a county magistrate who is from Xiliang is refining weapons and training soldiers in the mountains, which cannot but arouse people's suspicion.

Mo Ying glared at Mo Feng and added, "Master, Princess, Chu Xiong's biological father is from the Dongyue Dynasty, and his biological mother is from Xiliang. His mother was originally just a farm girl from the border. By chance, Chu Xiong's biological father met Chu Xiong's mother when he went to Xiliang for business. He was tempted by her beauty and forced her to have sex with him. He then brought her back to the Dongyue Dynasty. Later, Chu Xiong's mother became pregnant and gave birth to Chu Xiong."

"However, Chuxiong's father was not a good man." Mo Ying's voice revealed his contempt for Chuxiong's father. "He was fickle and soon fell in love with another woman. After returning home, he would beat or scold Chuxiong's mother if he was not satisfied with her. In the end, in a fierce argument, he beat Chuxiong's mother to death."

"Chu Xiong was only twelve years old at the time, and he witnessed his mother being beaten to death by his father." Mo Ying's tone was heavy, "Since then, he has harbored a deep hatred in his heart. He vowed to avenge himself and his mother. Later, he passed the imperial examination with his own efforts, and when he had the ability, he killed his father with his own hands."

"Now, he is full of resentment towards the people of the Dongyue Dynasty."

After hearing this, Shangguan Ziling and his group fell silent.

After a while, Shangguan Ziling said: "I didn't expect that after the jade pendant was stolen, such a series of things would happen. It's a good thing that we stayed in Rongcheng and didn't leave in a hurry. Otherwise, this county magistrate would be a hidden danger to the Dongyue Dynasty."

Mo Shaoxie threw the token to Mo Ying, "Mo Ying, go to the border immediately and ask Deputy General Li Mu to bring 50,000 troops to Rongcheng."

"Yes." Mo Ying put the token into his arms and quickly disappeared.
