C10 The Inner Barrier

Yuu Qing dragged Chen Xiaowu back to the cemetery in the west of the city. When he saw a person lying next to the coffin, he immediately became alert.

He carefully walked forward and took a closer look. He found that the person was none other than Prefectural Governor of Suzhou, Xu Huawen. His bones were broken and he had died a long time ago.

Yuu Qing sighed sadly and recited a Dao language. He hurriedly put down the unconscious Chen Xiaowu in another place.

Yuu Qing sat down and closed his eyes to concentrate. He controlled the thoughts on the other side of Chen Xiaowu's mind.

"Dugu Jian has such a temper. Don't blame him when you wake up."

Chen Xiaowu replied in a daze while he was unconscious, "Okay..."

Yuu Qing paused. "Forget about your admiration for me. From now on, you can't keep pestering me."

Chen Xiaowu closed his eyes and frowned. He was a little angry. "I don't like men. How could I pester you..."

After hesitating for a while, Yuu Qing asked curiously. "Then who do you like?"

Chen Xiaowu, who was in a coma, suddenly felt sad and happy. A tear dripped down from the corner of his eye. "Of course it is red jade. Although she is already married..."

Yuu Qing looked at Chen Xiaowu's hedgehog like face. After a moment of silence, a complicated emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At this time, not far away, Mo Yan was standing there with wounds all over his body. As he was too far away, he could not see Yuu Qing's face clearly.

Out of caution, Mo Yan berated.

"Who is there?"

Yuu Qing turned around and looked at Mo Yan. His expression was calm. "Commander Mo, it's been a long time since we last met."

Mo Yan was surprised. "State Advisor? Why are you here if you weren't ordered to pray for the people of Suzhou?"

Yuu Qing pointed at the wounds on Mo Yan's body. "It's a long story. Commander Mo should treat his wounds first."

Mo Yan covered his wounds and slowly walked over. When he got closer, he saw that Chen Xiaowu's face was full of silver needles. There was a moment of panic in his eyes.

"Who made him look like this?"

"When I arrived here, Xu Prefectural Governor and he were in such a miserable state. Fortunately, the assassin saved Governor Li's life."

Yuu Qing shut his mouth and did not mention Dugu Jian capturing people. He calmly pulled out the silver needles on Chen Xiaowu's face and bandaged his wound.

Mo Yan had lost too much blood and his face was pale. Fortunately, these wounds were not fatal. He applied the herbs he had just picked and wrapped them tightly with his torn clothes.

After resting for a while, Mo Yan forced himself to stand up and said to Yuu Qing.

"This matter must be reported to the Emperor immediately. Otherwise, once the Emperor sends troops over, I'm afraid we will be ambushed by the enemy."

Yuu Qing did not reply. After a long time, he silently looked at Mo Yan. His expression was one of sadness and joy.

"Commander Mo, have you thought about why the Emperor wants to promote a son of a historical official and also send the two of you to Su Province to handle the case alone?"

Mo Yan was also a little puzzled about this but it still made sense.

Mo Yan said, "That's because in the Imperial Court, no one dares to offend the Prime Minister Zuo. The Emperor's actions are just to fool people and make them think that he messed up and relax their vigilance."

When Yuu Qing heard this, he looked at Mo Yan as if he was looking at a fool and suddenly laughed coldly.

"You're wrong, Commander Mo. The Emperor's true goal is to uproot the old forces in the Imperial Court and nurture a new batch of officials."

Mo Yan glared at Yuu Qing. "What do you mean by all this? What does it have to do with me?"

"If a cunning rabbit dies, the dog will be cooked." He said coldly, "Commander Mo, you know too many of the Emperor's secrets. In his eyes, it has always been a thorn."

Mo Yan shook his head, unable to accept this sudden truth.

"Impossible, the Emperor trusts me so much, how could he treat me as a thorn in his eyes. State Advisor, don't try to fool the crowd with your demonic words!"

Yuu Qing changed the topic and directed Mo Yan's thoughts towards the incident at the dam by the river.

"If I say that the dam by the river started with the allocation of funds, although it was under the banner of maintenance, it was actually destroyed on purpose, what would you do?"

Mo Yan was shocked. He pointed at Yuu Qing and scolded, "You are a dignified State Advisor. How could you say such treasonous words?"

Yuu Qing smiled faintly. There was a sense of relief in his eyes.

"Commander Mo, you are not talented. I have already resigned from the position of State Advisor to the Emperor. After Su Zhou's blessing is over, I will return to the Meditation Temple to cultivate." Yuu Qing said lightly.

At this time, Yuu Qing could not help but sigh again. His eyes were full of pity as he looked at Mo Yan.

"I advise Commander Mo to prepare his escape route in advance. Otherwise, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."
