Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 229 They have taken the lead

"...No, no, no, I'm afraid the old man will come and chop me with a knife after he finds out." Mo Junli waved his hands with a look of dejection on his face.

He is indeed very interested in the mystical skills of warlocks, but he is not obliged to learn them. Xiaoguoshi and Xie Sinian will be enough. He was forced to learn the art of weighing the emperor for two lifetimes. Now he really doesn't want to. Learn something else.

"Tsk, it's a pity." Mu Xici smacked his lips and shook his head. Like him, there are not many good seedlings who can carve very expressively with their hands without having practiced talismans. She has lived for two lives, and she has only seen such a one .

"It's such a pity, I didn't plan to learn it in the first place." The young man smiled, "Besides, if I remember correctly, isn't it better to learn this thing as early as possible?"

"At my age, I'm a little older."

"That's for people with average talents. The sooner the better, it's best to catch up before enlightenment." The little girl sighed lazily.

In her previous life, she started to practice Taoist Yishu with her master when she was ten years old. She was imprisoned in the mountains for six years. After she came out, she was still able to compare with most of the magicians in the world.

"For someone like you who hasn't practiced at the age of 15, it's indeed a bit late. The upper limit won't be too high. At most, he can be better than Xie Sinian."

Xie Sinian's level can be regarded as above-average among warlocks, and it's not bad.

"Look, isn't this boring?" Mo Junli rolled his eyes, seeing the little girl yawned unconsciously, he couldn't help but slow down slightly, "Master, let's not mention this."

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, go back and rest."

"It's rare that it's you who chased me away today, but I really have something to ask." Mu Xici raised her eyebrows, and slowly stretched out two slender and fair fingers, "Two things."

"Let's be serious first, the first day of next month will be the palace exam, are you all ready?" The little girl's voice was a little nervous, even if she had counted countless times, she would have thought of this matter , she will still be a little apprehensive.

The Marquis of Anping faction has taken root in the court for many years, and the roots are so strong that even Emperor Yunjing can't touch him easily.

After the spring exam fraud case was concluded in the previous life, the most punished were Chao Ling and the three bribe-paying scholars, who were sentenced to be executed in the street; followed by the fourth prince Mo Shucheng, who was stripped of his imperial jade certificate and demoted to a Common people.

The third is the entire Ministry of Rites, which has been cleaned up and down.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hou's Mansion, except for the loss of a few chess pieces that had been placed in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, were not implicated in the slightest, and they easily got rid of the scapegoat on their bodies.

After all, Lu Zixiu, the only witness at that time, had been silenced by them long ago, and the remaining Chao Ling and the others were afraid of the power of the Marquis House, fearing that they would turn against their parents and relatives, so they would rather die than confide in Zhu Sheng and the others unfavorable things.

Under such circumstances, even if Emperor Yun Jing wanted to attack the two palaces, he couldn't find a place to focus on, so he had to raise some words in the open and in the dark, and had no choice but to give up.

On the surface, it seemed that An Sheng had been taught, but in fact, they didn't take Emperor Yun Jing's words to heart at all.

Zhu Sheng's power has not diminished, and he is still happy to be Mo Shuyuan's solid backing. After that, many things that make her feel very bad even thinking about it now.

Thinking of this, Mu Xici slightly lowered her eyebrows, she obviously didn't want to let Mo Shuyuan be so relaxed and happy again in this life.

The little girl pursed her lips: "Don't make any mistakes again, teach that Marquis of Anping to escape again."

Mo Junli was startled when he heard this, he looked down at the inconspicuous tension in her eyes, and suddenly lost his words.

"...Don't worry, not to mention that it's safe, at least it's sure." After a long silence, the young man lowered his eyes and chuckled, then raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, "Don't be nervous."

"Look now, Lu Zixiu is not dead, Xie Sinian is your own; He Kangsheng was also persuaded by you, and he confessed to the old man a few months in advance, cousin Yun and the others have also mobilized their troops... Ah Ci, we It’s already taken the lead.”

Mo Junli said very solemnly: "In this life, we will definitely make them pay the price they deserve."

In his previous life, he was too young and immature. He always felt that as long as he didn't fight for it, he wouldn't be dragged into that mess.

Therefore, even though he understood what Mo Jingyao meant in his heart at that time, and knew that he was willing to open countless doors for him, as long as he wanted, he could even cultivate his own soldiers and horses, but he still wanted to pretend to be stupid, Turn a blind eye to all this and turn a deaf ear to it.

He hated the struggle for imperial power, and he naively thought that he could lead Le Wan to escape this power strife—until he was forced to feign death and escape from Qianping in the 26th year of Changle, he knew that he was so wrong.

"You're right, we have seized the opportunity in this life." Mu Xici thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "We have made so many preparations, this time we will never let them escape again."

As long as this matter can drag the Hou's mansion, Emperor Yun Jing will not give up this wonderful opportunity; as long as they can receive the beating they deserve, the follow-up actions will not be so frivolous.

It would buy her more time.

Maybe Mo Junli didn't want to ask for perfection, but she thought, she wanted to ask for the safety of everyone around her.

"The hexagram of great evil, they can't catch that bit of vitality every time." The little girl let out a long breath, "Then, the second thing."

"Do you know where Mu Shiyao from her previous life ended up?"

"Mu Shiyao?" The young man was stunned for a moment by her question, and it took a long time before he gradually came to his senses, "Are you asking about Mu Wenhua's second daughter?"

"Yes, it's her." Mu Xici raised her hand and pinched the center of her brows, "I want to ask her to help me with something, but I don't want to disturb innocent people."

"I wanted to ask first, what was the result of her previous life."

"She... Let me think about it. I remember hearing people mention it in my previous life." Mo Junli frowned, and snapped his fingers lightly after a while, "I remember."

"Not long after you left Beijing, Mu Shiyao was filled in by a fourth-rank civil servant who Xiao Shuhua married to Mo Shuyuan. That civil servant usually looks submissive, but in fact he is a coward and likes to treat his wife harshly."

"She had a very bad life in those few years. It wasn't until Mo Shuyuan died and I punished that civil servant that she was able to make peace with him and return to your second uncle to fulfill her filial piety."

"Do house filling—" Mu Xici couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, "How old are you doing house filling?"

"When she married, the civil servant was in his 40s or closer to [-]?" The young man pondered, "When I abolished his official position, he was already in his sixtieth year, half a year older than Mu Wenhua."

"Tsk... What about Ruan Meiyan? It's Mu Shiyao's own mother, how is she?" The little girl's eyes twitched slightly, she had a bad feeling.

"Her? She seemed to have died of illness not long after Mu Shiyao got married. I heard people said that it was due to internal depression. In addition, her body was already weak, and she was getting weaker every day. She died of exhaustion within two years."

Mo Junli scratched his head: "I don't know too many details, that's all I know."

"It's okay, these are enough." Mu Xici shook her head, since they didn't get good results in their previous lives, then it wouldn't be considered a bother if she went looking for her.

This is enough.

　Well, the pre-plot is over!

　　You can go to the palace test tomorrow!

　　Damn, I'm stuck
