Chapter 317 Unavoidable
Mo Taijie didn't know whether Aju had lived in dire straits or not, because early the next morning, he set out again and returned to the mountains.
At the same time, Ziying finally found out the reason why his name was leaked.
Fortunately, it was just the child's ignorance, and there was no spy around. Fortunately, they had kept it a secret from the beginning of the village, and apart from those who came with him, no one among the villagers who moved in later knew his true identity.
Even if it is a guess, people will only be led to guess that they are descendants of the Wei State.
"Master, that man is back."
When the attendant came to report, Ziying immediately put his thoughts aside and said he understood.
He must find an opportunity to meet with Mo Taijie alone. He has a hunch that this man must be hiding a big secret.
This opportunity came quickly. In the evening of that day, Mo Taijie took the initiative to come to the door.
In the dim room, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved. The occasional barking of dogs made the room even quieter.
The candle flame crackled and suddenly jumped up a few inches. The light from behind Mo Taijie hit Ziying's face, half bright and half dim, making it difficult to see his expression.
Ziying was dressed in a moon-white robe with a smooth white jade belt tied around his waist. He gently raised his hand to pour warm tea for the two of them. His movements were elegant and calm, pleasing to the eye, and carried an air of nobility that came from being raised in wealth since childhood.
Mo Taijie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ziying in front of him.
He was dressed in a dark robe. Although he was old, his back was still straight and his eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Mo Taijie took the teacup with a smile and said, "Master Xike, you are truly leisurely and elegant, and you have great concentration." The voice was low and slow, with a hint of imperceptible temptation.
"Haha, I'm just bored." Ziying chuckled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The warmth of the tea spread in his mouth, but it couldn't dispel the chill in his heart.
His gaze fell calmly on Mo Taijie. He seemed nonchalant, but in fact he was secretly observing the other party's every move.
Mo Taijie gently turned the teacup in his hand, his eyes wandering over Ziying, as if weighing his words. "Sir, you know that various forces in this village are eager to make a move, all wanting to take advantage of us. Sir, don't you want to do something about it?"
Ziying raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint arc appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Master Jie, how can we influence the affairs of these families? Besides, we are all pitiful people who have lost their families. Why should we quarrel when we share the same suffering?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Taijie shook his head slightly. "Young Master, you are not kindhearted and do not want to kill each other. However, now that each family is weak and surrounded by powerful enemies, if there are more treacherous people disturbing the internal affairs, I am afraid that great things will be difficult to accomplish. If you can raise your arms and call for action, you will surely be able to recruit many people with lofty ideals and win their hearts."
Ziying was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on the flickering candlelight, his thoughts seemingly drifting far away.
After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "Master Jie, it's not that I don't want to take action, but the situation is complicated right now. If I act rashly, I'm afraid I'll implicate even more people. Besides, I need time to prepare."
A subtle glint flashed in Mo Taijie's eyes. "Sir, you are absolutely right. However, time is of the essence, and you must make a decision quickly. I am willing to serve you at every turn and offer you advice."
Ziying looked at Mo Taijie with some doubts in his heart.
"Does Master Jie want to restore the country?"
Mo Taijie was slightly stunned when he heard this, then burst into laughter, "But did that Yan person come to you to talk about Xiang?"
Ziying nodded, saying without hiding anything, "Last night, Old Yan came to me and promised me that if I could only promise to keep his Yan territory intact, he would give me half of his ancestral property to help me accomplish my goal."
"Hahaha..." Mo Taijie laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny, but then suddenly stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes. "Short-sighted people! That group of people, even after their country was destroyed, are still so clueless."
Restoration of the country?
Simply ridiculous!
What they want is not something as simple as restoring their country.
Ziying nodded, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said nothing more.
The two of them were silent for a while. After finishing a cup of tea, Ziying continued, "I appreciate Master Jie's kindness. However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be accomplished overnight. We need to consider it in the long run."
Hearing this, Mo Taijie raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his body slightly, leaned sideways and lowered his eyes. The candlelight just happened to shine on his face, making his originally hazy facial features suddenly become clear and visible, as if carved in stone.
"Sir, do you really think that you can sleep peacefully and worry-free just by living in a remote corner?"
As soon as these words came out, Ziying's expression suddenly became serious. He leaned back slightly on the chair, and the originally relaxed atmosphere changed. He dropped his relaxed and leisurely tone and asked doubtfully, "Oh? What do you mean by this, Master Jie?"
Mo Taijie chuckled and said softly, "Nothing special, I just saw the shadow of the Black Armor Guard outside the mountain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ziying clenched his hands on his thighs, and a fierce light flashed in his lowered eyes.
There was murderous intent emanating from him, but Mo Taijie simply thought that it was Ziying's hatred for the Black Armor Guards.
"Haha, being young is good, full of emotions..."
These words sound like a teacher's rebuke.
Ziying ignored him, took a deep breath, turned around and asked, "Master Jie, is this tea to your taste?"
Mo Taijie was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, worthy of being the renowned Master Xike, haha, wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Mo Taijie's laughter echoed in the night, the fragrance of tea and laughter intertwined to form a unique harmony. However, Ziying's brow did not relax, but instead frowned even tighter.
"Mr. Jie is too kind. Xike is just a commoner. How can he deserve such praise?" Ziying's words were light but with obvious alienation.
Mo Taijie's laughter gradually died down, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He stroked his long beard and spoke slowly, "Sir, do you want to tell everyone about this?"
"Of course." Ziying's voice was filled with a barely perceptible chill. "What do you think, Master Jie, should I do?"
"The Black Armor Guards' appearance this time is targeting you. Surrounding without attacking is not in Ying Zheng's character. I'm sure they're waiting to capture you all in one fell swoop."
"Master Jie, what you mean is..."
Mo Taijie smiled slightly. He looked at Ziying and said slowly, "The Black Armored Guards have appeared at your door. Where else can you hide?"
Ziying's expression changed, and he raised his eyes to look at Mo Taijie.
"This world does not belong to the emperor, but to everyone in the world. My lord, there is no escape, you must face it head-on!"
The old voice was like the whisper of a devil, bewitching people's hearts.
In the darkness of the night, the two fell into silence again.
Their eyes met, and a silent contest exploded in the air.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Taijie got up and left, leaving behind a sentence "Time waits for no one", and walked into the night in a good mood.
Ziying was left alone in the room, frowning and thinking deeply.
