Chapter 874: Three Birds with One Arrow
Yunjing, then secretly tugged on An Xuetang's sleeve, "Sister, don't look."An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Why""You... you shouldn't do that."An Xuetang looked at him blankly, "What's wrong with that"...Seeing that Mo Yunchen was just unwilling to let go of his tigers, Mo Juni's dagger was placed at his own neck.
"Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in unison, 'Young Master, absolutely not!'"
Mo Yunchen clenched his fists, his cold eyes stared at Mo Junshi, gritting his teeth as he said, "Mo Junshi, are you threatening me with your own life"
Mo Junyi's face was expressionless, "Father, my son dare not."
"Dare you"
Mo Yunchen laughed in exasperation, gritting his teeth, "Is this what you call not daring Mo Junyi, did you learn all these bad habits from that woman, An Xuetang I knew that woman could teach you something good, but I didn't expect her to teach you how to do such despicable and low things."
"......"
Mo Junyi heard him slander An Xuetang. He clenched his hands, his lips moving slightly, wanting to subconsciously retort, but thinking of his purpose, he forcibly held back.
"Father, these tigers must not die under any circumstances. They not only protect me but also serve as formidable foes against enemies. Such loyal companions should be cherished by you, Father. Why would you order their execution"
"Heh."
Mo Yunchen let out a cold laugh. "They are like a knife. In my hand, they can be a powerful tool. But if the blade is pointed at me, they become a sharp weapon that will wound me all over."
Mo Junyi pursed his lips, "But they only listen to me. Father doesn't believe me Or does Father think I would make them attack you"
"Mo Junyi, don't try to make excuses for yourself. Today, these beasts will die without a doubt."
"Father."
Mò Jùn Yì couldn't help raising his voice, his stubborn little eyes fixed on Mò Yún Chén, "Father King, what is the reason that makes you so afraid of them Are you afraid of them or afraid of your uncle and aunt"
I have to say, Mo Junyi's question hit Mo Yunchen's sore spot. Mo Yunchen suddenly became furious and slammed his fist on the table beside him, "Mo Junyi, do you really think I dare not touch you"
“Your son dares not, but your son guarantees that these tigers will never turn against you. They only obey your son. In the future, if you truly clash with your imperial aunt, your son will make them protect you. Your son only asks that you spare their lives.”
Mo Yunchen clenched his fists, his cold eyes fixed on Mo Jyunyi, gritting his teeth and saying word by word, "What if I don't want to"
"Then today, this son shall advance and retreat with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Junyi's dagger plunged into his own neck, blood welling up from the wound.
Everyone exclaimed, "Young Master, reconsider!"
Lei Hong watched from the side, terrified. He wanted to step forward like everyone else to try and stop Mo Junyi, but when he looked at those frenzied tigers and then at Mo Junyi's resolute face, he suddenly froze. He didn't move forward or backward, and even Dr. Liu, the military physician who was about to step forward, was pulled back by him.
Dr. Liu was originally very anxious, but seeing Lei Hong's complicated eyes, he pondered for a moment, glanced at the tigers who were delirious but hadn't taken any further action, and immediately understood.
He pursed his lips and waited for a moment.
While Mo Yunchen and Mo Juniyi were still locked in a stalemate, Dr. Liu saw that the blood flowing from Mo Juniyi's neck was already quite a lot. He took a few cautious steps forward and spoke softly, "Your Highness, the young master's wound is very deep. If he continues to bleed like this, he could be in danger."
Mo Yunchen ignored Dr. Liu, his cold eyes fixed on Mo Junyi, then after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Mo Junyi, do you really want to rebel against your father for these animals"
Mo Junyi's face had turned pale from blood loss, and his voice was no longer as loud as before. "Father King, just because I am your blood, I will never go against you for the rest of my life. All I want is to protect what I care about. Perhaps Father doesn't know, although they are beasts, to me, they are more like companions, even protectors. Naturally, I won't stand by and watch them be executed."
Mo Yunchen looked at the tigers beside him. They were now quiet and showed no signs of attacking.
The more Ke Yi looked at this thing, the more he wanted to kill them all.
Mo Jun Yi doesn't seem to be joking. If these beasts lose a son because of this, the deal is obviously not worth it.
Thinking this way, Mo Yunchen finally relented. He sighed and waved his hand, "Alright, all of you, withdraw."
Mo Junyi heard this and immediately bowed to Mo Yunchen, "Thank you, Father."
At this time, Lei Hong and Dr. Liu hurried forward to help Mo Junyi up.
Mo Junyi pushed the two aside. He walked to the tigers and rubbed their heads one by one, soothingly like he was coaxing a child. "Don't worry, I'll never abandon you again. Don't be angry, okay"
These tigers seemed to understand as if they could truly hear, and they all roared in response to Mo Junyi.
Mo Junyi's neck was covered in blood, and his pale face made him look like someone who had almost fainted.
Mo Mo Yun Chen finally sighed, helplessly saying, "Doctor Liu, quickly take the young master to be treated. If anything happens to the young master, you will be held responsible."
"Yes," said Dr. Liu, bowing slightly.
Mo Junyi gave the tigers an order, they led the way, while Mo Junyi was supported by Dr. Liu and Lei Hong as he left.
Mo Yunchen looked at Mo Junyi's back, his eyes narrowed slightly.
No one knows what he's thinking.
After a moment, Mo Yunchen turned his head to look at the subordinate beside him, "Send someone to keep an eye on the young master. Report any movements to me immediately."
Then the subordinate immediately bowed, "Yes."
"Have you heard any news from the capital"
"Your Highness, Master Jiang has sent a message. He says he personally delivered your letter to the King of Bei Jiang, but..."
Mo Yunchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Just how"
"...But the King of Beijiang didn't offer any further explanation. He only asked you...asked you to remember what a true ruler should and should not do."
"Damn it!"
As expected, Mo Yunchen's face darkened the moment he heard this, "Does a Mingjun need reminding by someone like Mo Yunjing"
That subordinate lowered his head, not daring to speak another word. Only worry lingered in his eyes, unable to be concealed. In truth, the King of Beijiang had never considered making an enemy of their Highness.
And given the Prince of Northern Xinjiang's respect for Your Highness, if Your Highness wanted that position, the Prince would certainly lend a hand. But why does Your Highness insist on going against the Prince of Northern Xinjiang
They actually don't quite understand this.
At this time, Mo Junyi was already lying in bed, Dr. Liu applying medicine to the wound on his neck.
Lei Hong was tending to the minor wounds on the tigers. While they hadn't sustained any major injuries, their bodies were scratched by swords in several places.
Mo Junyi's gaze remained fixed on Lei Hong. After he finished treating his wounds, he spoke, "Lei Hong, from today onwards, you must be at my side every step of the way."
Doctor Liu's eyes changed when he heard this. He looked up at Lei Hong, who was bewildered, and suddenly shook his head with a chuckle, "Your Highness, this move is truly remarkable, killing three birds with one stone. The old man is truly impressed."
