As a result, while maintaining a basic level of calm, many representatives of local powers, or nobles in Luoyang who had close ties with local powers, began to quietly leave Luoyang. Perhaps only the remaining residents of Luoyang were unaware of what was about to happen.

As a result, many industries in Luoyang began to be sold off collectively at relatively low prices. After all, this is war, and judging from the current situation, war may really be brewing.

Once war really breaks out, bullets and shells have no eyes. A shell might land in your own factory or estate, turning your once high-value property into a worthless ruin. It would be better to sell it now for a lower price.

At this time, people were surprised to find that the Qilin Talent who had recently risen to fame not only had the wisdom to plan for the world, but also seemed to be quite wealthy. While others were eager to sell off their wealth in Luoyang, this Qilin Talent did the opposite and bought up all of it in large quantities.

Furthermore, the talented scholar was quite generous, paying entirely in cash, which greatly increased the goodwill of the wealthy group towards him. Many even secretly met with Mo Mo to tell him that Luoyang was about to face war and wanted to persuade him to flee together.

Mo Mo did something incomprehensible to these honest and kind-hearted people: he converted all the cash he used to buy their properties into gold.

Although the well-meaning people were completely confused, they did not refuse. They assumed that Momo probably didn't have enough cash on hand and that settling in gold would be more convenient.

And with war about to break out, gold is more readily accepted than paper money in times of chaos. Although these kind-hearted people were completely bewildered, they still happily accepted Mo Mo's gold.

The same thing was happening not only in Luoyang City, but throughout the entire Luoyang Military Region. And there seemed to be many wealthy people like Mo Mo who were blind to the situation. Many suddenly appearing rich people were waving banknotes and buying up properties throughout the Luoyang Military Region.

This strange phenomenon baffled many people, but everyone was in a hurry to leave, and no one bothered to think about why it was happening.

Third update

With the big battle imminent, Momo chose to show off her love.

As the days passed, both sides were making preparations. Although Luoyang City appeared old and desolate, various high-ranking officials and nobles still flocked to it. After all, it was the capital of the Chinese Federation, and its popularity should still be guaranteed.

However, as nobles quietly left Luoyang, and more commoners were recruited to work in factories due to the ever-expanding military production, the entire city of Luoyang gradually became empty. Even the most ignorant people gradually realized that something was wrong.

Perhaps the only reassuring thing was the Qilin Scholar who would occasionally appear in Luoyang, accompanied by a white-haired girl and his green-haired beauty. Many people even started to greet Mo Mo proactively; seeing such an important figure as Mo Mo still around gave them a sense of peace.

"Teacher... is there going to be a war?"

Jiang Lihua seemed to sense this sense of loss as well. She also seemed to have learned a lot from various sources, and she held Mo Mo's hand and asked him in a low voice.

"What is it, Lihua? Is there something you want to ask?"

Mo Mo did not deny Jiang Lihua's question, which seemed to make Jiang Lihua understand something. She then asked, "Teacher, why is there a war? Why are they attacking us? What did we do wrong?"

Mo Mo stroked Jiang Lihua's little head, pondering how to introduce this cruel world to her. Although Jiang Lihua was a child, she was essentially destined to be the future emperor. Mo Mo didn't want Jiang Lihua to become a princess living in a fairy tale; the future of this country still needed her to shoulder some responsibility.

"Lihua, let me give you an example."

"Ah."

"If you had a piece of candy and Karen was right next to you, and you wanted to eat it, and Karen also wanted to eat it, would you give it to Karen?"

Jiang Lihua answered almost immediately, saying, "I will give Karen some; Karen is my good friend!"

"So, will Karen let you have some?"

"Of course I will! I'm Karen's good friend too!"

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "That's right, Li Hua, you and Karen are good friends and willing to share this piece of candy. So, if you saw a little beggar you didn't know on the street, would you be willing to give him your candy?"

Jiang Lihua hesitated for a second, then nodded and said, "He must have never eaten delicious candy before. I have eaten some, so I will give it to him."

"Then the teacher asks in return, do you think the little beggar would give you the candy in his hand?"

This time, Mo Mo finally stumped Jiang Lihua. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lihua shook her head and said, "Lihua doesn't know...maybe not?"

Mo Mo nodded and said, "That's the way it is."

“Lihua, we did nothing wrong. If the world were a piece of candy, Lihua, you would be willing to share it with others, but others would not be willing to share it with you. You would be willing to let everyone share the sweetness of the candy, but there are many bad people in the world who want to hold onto the candy and eat it themselves.”

"Your father and I don't want the candy to fall into the hands of such bad people, so your father and I will take the candy and distribute it to everyone in the world who wants to eat candy. Do you understand what I'm saying, Lihua?"

Jiang Lihua's eyes lit up, and she nodded, her expression seemingly heavy. She said, "Lihua should understand now. They are bad people, and they are unwilling to share no matter what, so that's why we have to fight, right?"

“That’s right, Lihua, that’s exactly it. As the emperor, you are willing to share the world with all people, but a small number of people want to seize the world for themselves. These people are your enemies. You can’t reason with them, and in the end, there is only one way out: war.”

"Is there... no other way, teacher... Lihua is a little scared. So many people died in the palace that day. Lihua keeps having nightmares. She can only fall asleep when Karen is with her."

Jiang Lihua lowered her voice. It seems that some people's nature is hard to change. Perhaps if Jiang Lihua had the chance to not take on this heavy responsibility and simply be a truly innocent princess, that would be a better life for her.

"There is a way."

At this moment, Mo Mo encouraged Jiang Lihua, which brought hope back to her eyes. She looked directly at Mo Mo quietly, waiting for him to give her an answer.

Mo Mo smiled and opened Jiang Lihua's hand, placing a colorfully wrapped candy in it, saying, "This is a candy. If you encounter someone who doesn't want to share with you, you have no choice but to fight them."

"but……"

Mo Mo reached out and touched her, and Jiang Lihua felt her palm sink. Her eyes widened as she realized that another candy had appeared in her hand.

"You can learn some methods to increase the amount of candy you have, so that you can share it with more people. Those who were originally at odds with you will also make peace with you because they have candy to eat."

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Lihua's lips as she said, "Teacher, do you know how to make more candy? Can you teach me?"

"Of course, I am your teacher, Lihua. But this is not something you can learn in a day. Lihua, you need to be prepared for a tough learning experience."

"Ok!"

"Oh, right, Lihua, you must remember. Even if you have more and more candy, there will still be pure villains whose greed knows no bounds. When facing such people, not only should you not give them more candy, but even if it means war, you must make them understand that although you have the heart to share the world, you are not a child who can be easily bullied."

This time, Jiang Lihua did not hesitate. Instead, she nodded and said, "Lihua understands. For those who are willing to share with me, I must defeat those purely evil people."

Mo Mo smiled and patted Jiang Lihua's head, then unwrapped a candy and popped one into her mouth. Jiang Lihua tasted the sweetness of the candy and grinned.

"Alright, Lihua, that's enough for today. Come back to see the teacher tomorrow."

Jiang Lihua was still somewhat clumsy in operating the neural connection device. She checked the time, nodded, waved goodbye to Mo Mo, and then left Mo Mo's side.

The plainclothes imperial guards and the maids who had been following from a distance also came over and took Jiang Lihua away from Mo Mo.

However, to Mo Mo's surprise, Li Xingke deliberately lagged behind the group and bowed respectfully to Mo Mo.

"What is it, Li Xingke? Is there something you want to say to me?"

"No, it's nothing. I've just corrected my impression of you, Lord Qilin."

"Hmm, I guess it's mostly because Gao Hai often speaks ill of me to you, right? Actually, Gao Hai is right, he really hates me. And the reason he speaks ill of me to you is definitely because he values ​​you, so serve Gao Hai well, Li Xingke. After this, your mission as the Embroidered Uniform Guard is very heavy, and you are also the most steadfast team in your loyalty to the Emperor."

When Li Xingke heard Mo Mo reveal the truth, he was a little embarrassed. However, after hearing what Mo Mo said next, the embarrassment on his face disappeared, and only respect remained.

Under Li Xingke's respectful gaze, Mo Mo took CC's hand and walked towards his new home, the Mo Mansion, which belonged to him and the girl beside him.

This was originally a nobleman's mansion, a vast one. In Luoyang, where land is incredibly valuable, the worth of such a mansion is self-evident. However, because the nobleman's surname was Cao, he packed his bags and fled almost the very night the news arrived, and the mansion was sold for a very low price. Perhaps he feared that if war were truly declared, those Imperial Guards wearing five-pointed star caps would make it impossible for him to leave Luoyang forever?

Mo Mo and CC stopped directly in front of the gate. Mo Mo looked at his residence and revealed a meaningful smile.

CC stared at him intently, her eyes seemingly filled with curiosity.

"What's wrong, Sisi? Is there something you want to say?"

"I've been curious ever since. Your performance just now really made you seem like a great scholar who cares deeply about his country and is loyal to the emperor. If I didn't know your true nature, I probably would have been fooled by you too. I'm very curious, how were you able to make it so convincing?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo shook his head slightly and said, "Nature? Qianqian, don't say that. Although I am a man, and it seems easier to guess a man's nature than a woman's, that's for ordinary men, not for someone as honest as me, Mo Mo."

"Don't say you understand me so easily. Do you really understand me, Sisi?"

“Of course I know you,” CC said, not so easily fooled by Mo Mo. “I know your length, width, and temperature perfectly. Even my body, which can constantly regenerate, has developed memories due to repeated occurrences and has gradually shown signs of change. Do you think I don’t know your true nature?”

"Ahem, don't be so vulgar, okay? Be elegant, don't you understand? Being vulgar all the time is a sign of impurity."

"So, your act of deceiving the little girl and the honest man just now was a sign of purity?"

"At least it looks innocent, doesn't it?"

Mo Mo shrugged, returning to his solemn demeanor. He reached out and pulled CC into the Mo residence, saying, "We'll be staying here for a long time now. Isn't it nice to have our own home? Qianqian, from today onwards, this is our home."

"Family?"

CC's tone changed slightly as she looked at the antique building and said, "Home... I have a home again..."

A faint smile appeared on CC's lips.

"That's right, a sweet home, I want a home where we can have sex all the time."

CC's smile instantly turned to frost as she said, "Disgusting man, don't you already have three legitimate wives? Go have sex with them."

"Aren't they not here?"

"So you came to me? What do you take me for, your flesh slave?"

"Huh," Mo Mo said in surprise, looking at CC's disappointed expression, "Isn't that right?"

CC's tone turned somber as she said, "You're such a disappointment."

After saying that, CC turned to leave, but at that moment Mo Mo said, "If you don't like being my sex slave, how about being my wife?"

Author's Note:

Fourth update

090 Purge the court of corrupt officials, with an army of 300,000!

The word "wife" made CC stop in her tracks. She sighed and said, "Mo Mo, if you weren't so glib most of the time and could be a little more serious, I feel your charm could be even greater."

"Although I don't know how you managed to win over those three girls, I'm a witch, you know. How could a witch be deceived by your sweet words? I don't know how many people proposed to me back then. Do you think a marriage proposal can make me grateful and shed tears?"

Mo Mo pinched his chin and said, "At least I'm a little better than them, right? After all, you remembered my length, width, and temperature. That should be unique, right?"

"...You're really...awful. Even if you're trying to find something good about yourself, can't you find something pure?"

"Has it suddenly switched to innocent mode? The advantages of innocence... let me think about it some more..."

"What, you really can't think of anything?"

"No, there are too many advantages to list."

CC, still with her back to Mo Mo, snorted coldly and said, "If there aren't any new lines, then I'll leave. If you really can't resist having sex, you can always come and raid me in the middle of the night. After all, I'm just your sex slave."

"Ah, I've got it."

Mo Mo suddenly cried out in surprise, "I can continue to live like you, live forever, and sink into this eternal hell with you... wouldn't that be considered an advantage?"

CC, who was about to leave, paused and stopped again. She didn't want to admit that Mo Mo's condition had worked on her, but her body's instincts made her stop.

"I will never be your eternal flesh slave; that would only disgust me."

"So, as I just said, being my wife, a husband who will live with you forever, this must be a truly first time for you, right?"

CC stood still and fell silent. After a few seconds, she said, "Come here, come to my side."
