Chapter 349

There was still a long time before dawn, so he simply took Shadow's corpse out of the Fei Residence with him.

In order not to cause trouble in the future, Mo Jiuye directly used his lightness martial arts skill to take Shadow's corpse to the nearest mountain from the Fei Residence at the fastest speed, and then dug a pit and buried it.

Returning to Fei Nanyu again, it was almost dawn.

Fei Nanyu must have been sleepless all night, still sitting at the desk.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye had been out for so long, he knew that Mo Jiuye must have taken the corpse far away in consideration of not giving Nan Qi a handle before disposing of it.

At the same time, his reliance on Mo Jiuye became even stronger.

His cheap father emperor really had old and blurry eyes, pushing such a capable minister and fierce general thousands of miles away, and even using such indecent means to persecute him.

If it were up to him, someone like this would not be held in high enough esteem.

Mo Jiuye did not know what Fei Nanyu was thinking.

"Fortunately I have not failed you. Master Fei does not need to worry about future troubles."

Fei Nanyu nodded gratefully, then handed Mo Jiuye a package.

"These are the clothes my entourage usually wears, I'll have to trouble Ninth Gentleman."

Mo Jiuye took the clothes and quickly changed into them.

It dawned soon.

Fei Nanyu exhorted: "Shadow has always kept his head low in front of Nan Qi. Just do as I said, if Nan Qi asks about me, just shake your head to indicate that I haven't done anything these days."

"Okay, I took note of it." Mo Jiuye replied.

Nan Qi and Fei Nanyu had agreed to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion after the morning court, that is, before the Chen time.

Fei Nanyu ordered the outside that he was hungry and asked the kitchen to prepare more breakfast and send it in, but no one doubted it.

It was only after eating breakfast that the two left the study. As soon as they walked out the study door, Mo Jiuye signaled Little White with a wave of his hand when Fei Nanyu was not paying attention, indicating it to stick close to him.

Little White was very obedient. Seeing its owner gesture to it, it immediately spread its wings and flew up, hovering not far from him.

After all, Fei Nanyu was still Nan Qi’s subordinate. It would be better for it to arrive a little earlier when following him on errands too.

Therefore, after eating breakfast with Mo Jiuye and seeing that it was almost time, Fei Nanyu set off from the Fei Residence.

Fei Nanyu only brought Mo Jiuye with him this time, and all the other guards stayed at the residence, so Mo Jiuye did not have to worry that his actions would give him away on the way.

When they arrived at the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, there were already guests entering the mansion one after another, and the steward at the door was enthusiastically welcoming them.

In order to wait for Nan Qi, Fei Nanyu did not enter immediately, but stood with Mo Jiuye not far from the main entrance of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

After waiting for about half a hour, Nan Qi finally arrived.

Seeing him from a distance, Mo Jiuye almost didn’t recognize him.

Nan Qi was obviously much fatter, and the number of followers and guards around him had also increased significantly, indicating that he was really thriving now.

Seeing him arrive, Fei Nanyu hurriedly came forward to salute with clasped fists.

"Prince Nan."

With his hands behind his back, Nan Qi looked high and mighty.

"Well, exempt courtesy!"

With this attitude, he must be completely different from the person Mo Jiuye had known before.

It was understandable too. Once a person felt that he had reached the pinnacle of life, it was inevitable that he would become arrogant.

Presumably Nan Qi was no exception. Now he was flattered by the civil and military officials of the whole court and had completely lost himself.

Similarly, Mo Jiuye also saluted Nan Qi with Fei Nanyu.

As expected, Nan Qi still did not trust Fei Nanyu. As they straightened up, his gaze involuntarily fell on Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye kept his head low all the time, but he could still see Nan Qi’s actions out of the corner of his eye.

So he shook his head slightly as Fei Nanyu had prompted him to.

Sure enough, after Nan Qi saw his hint, he shifted his gaze.

"Master Fei must have waited for a long time. Come with Zhen to enter the mansion now."

Fei Nanyu respectfully nodded and led Mo Jiuye to follow behind Nan Qi.

Nan Qi was after all a prince of Da Shun, and was universally recognized as the future emperor. It was not unreasonable for him to bring more people with him when paying a birthday visit to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

Therefore, he took a group of people into the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, and no one really dared to stop him. However, according to the rules over the centuries, the master could enter the main hall of the main courtyard, while the entourage brought along had to be arranged in separate places prepared.

Once the master needed something, there would be someone to inform them specially.

Although Nan Qi was arrogant now, he would not break the rules that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

He only took Fei Nanyu with him into the main hall of the main courtyard.

Mo Jiuye was led with those people brought by Nan Qi to a small courtyard on the west side.

This place was relatively close to the back courtyard. Mo Jiuye was afraid that Little White would appear rashly and startle them, so before he left with the prince’s men, he signaled Little White to fly a little higher and just keep an eye on his location.

When he arrived at the small courtyard, many followers of nobles had already gathered there, and those who were acquainted had started chatting together.

Mo Jiuye found a corner and sat on a rockery.

He looked around habitually and found that there were more than a dozen hidden guards lurking in the tall trees.

In principle, even if guests had brought hidden guards with them, the guards would also hide around their masters to protect them instead of being arranged here to watch these attendants.

From this it could be inferred that these people were not brought by the guests, but arranged by the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

Mo Jiuye found this very suspicious.

Even if the Ninth Prince held a birthday banquet and arranged hidden guards in the mansion for protection, he would not arrange them here.

That is to say, it was very likely that these people were secretly protecting Si Meng.

The more Mo Jiuye thought about it, the more he felt he had grasped the truth. He carefully observed where those hidden guards were hiding, planning how to take them down all at once, so that he could also take the opportunity to go out and search around.

The anesthetic gun that his wife gave him worked best, it’s just that the thing made a lot of noise when used, and would startle them as soon as it was used, so it was not the best choice.

Mo Jiuye looked at the mini sleeve arrows tied under his sleeves. These sleeve arrows could continuously shoot ten arrows.

Even if his shooting was accurate, he could only take out ten hidden guards at most.

There were still two people left. If they could not be solved at the same time, they would definitely be startled. Not only would his plan fail, more importantly, with Si Meng’s vigilance, he was afraid that Si Meng would flee before he could find him.

Since this was the case, he had no choice but to use the anesthetic his wife gave him.

Mo Jiuye observed that the distance between six hidden guards was relatively close, and it was also the place closest to this small courtyard.

He decided to start with those six people first.

Having made up his mind, under the excuse of going to the toilet, Mo Jiuye went out through the back door of the small courtyard.

Fortunately, there were many people here, and those hidden guards would not pay attention to just him alone, not to mention that he deliberately avoided their sight too.

After leaving the small courtyard, Mo Jiuye quickly hid behind a big tree, and aimed the semi-automatic crossbow in his sleeve at the six hidden guards he planned to take out first.
