Mo Junjiu realized that if they continued to fight, it would only consume his strength, so he hurriedly shouted “stop”. He yelled at Mo Junyang, “Mo Junyang, I have never offended you or stood in your way. Why do you insist on chasing me?”

 

Mo Junyang replied indifferently, “You have done something wrong, so you should be punished. Junjiu, just fold your hands for capture!”

 

“Huh? Am I the only person who did something wrong? Junyu and Junhao covet the throne as much as I do. If you are really loyal to my father, why don’t you punish them but just try to capture me?” Mo Junjiu looked resentful.

 

In fact, from the beginning, he had seen the capability in Mo Junyang and had the intention to win him over, but Mo Junyang seemed to stick to the rule that the eldest legitimate son should inherit the position, like all the stubborn officials. Even though the crown prince was good for nothing, he just supported Mo Junyu firmly.

 

Mo Junjiu was angry with him almost to death.

 

However, Mo Junyang was fathomless and won Mo Xiangbin’s favor, which made Mo Junjiu love, hate him and jealous of him, but he could do nothing.

 

Mo Junyang stared at Mo Junjiu and wasn’t shaky because of his resentment. He just pointed out calmly, “The crown prince and the fourth prince have never led soldiers to rebel.”

 

Mo Junjiu was rendered speechless and became more reluctant. He shouted loudly, “My father forced me. If he wasn’t so cruel as to imprison me in the Cold Palace, why would I go so far? I just want to fight for a bright future. Why was I wrong?

 

“It’s not my fault!”

 

He stressed each of the last words.

 

He was courageous with sufficient reasons and fearless.

 

However, Mo Junyang didn’t take Mo Junjiu’s empty show of strength seriously.

 

He looked at Mo Junjiu, with indifference and no emotion in his eyes, as if looking at a humble ant. He seemed to be disdainful and told Mo Junjiu with his attitude silently, “You asked for it.”

 

Mo Junjiu got furious under Mo Junyang’s glance.

 

He exploded at once and didn’t consider if he should preserve his force. He led the only ten remaining guards and attacked Mo Junyang recklessly.

 

Both sides had another fight, but Mo Junjiu was more furious this time and killed several enemies successively.

 

While fighting, Mo Junjiu’s people surrounded Mo Junyang unexpectedly.

 

Several guards of Mo Junyang wanted to save their master, but they were blocked by Mo Junjiu’s subordinates or were killed under the horses.

 

At this time, three sharp arrows suddenly flew out of the forest and aimed at Mo Junyang.

 

Mo Junyang avoided the first two arrows, but the third arrow shot the horse’s front leg, and the treasured horse leaned forward.

 

He had no choice but to jump off the horse’s back.

 

At the moment, Mo Junjiu’s people surrounded Mo Junyang heavily and waved their broadswords to chop him.

 

It was dangerous.

 

The broadswords passed over next to Mo Junyang’s skin or hair several times and almost injured him seriously.

 

At the same time, another cold arrow flew out of the forest but aimed at Mo Junyang from behind.

 

Mo Junyang was fighting against the two soldiers in front of him and didn’t notice the crisis from behind at all.

 

When Wei Zichao looked back, he saw that the long arrow had crossed the enemies’ siege and was about to hit Mo Junyang.

 

“Master!” Wei Zichao shouted automatically.

 

At the crucial moment, almost all people thought that Mo Junyang would be shot. Another sharp arrow flew from another direction at high speed and passed over the surrounding people. It dashed before the first arrow hit Mo Junyang.

 

Two arrows clashed and the strength canceled each other out. Both of them fell on the ground behind Mo Junyang’s back.

 

Later, three long arrows flew from the second arrow’s direction and were shot to the forest.

 

Next second, three screams could be heard.

 

Three soldiers dressed in the secret guard’s uniform were shot and fell from the trees. They fell on the brushwood and went silent.

 

There were people lurking.

 

All people present had this thought at the same time and got stunned. They stopped fighting.

 

Mo Junyang took the chance and quickly waved his sword to kill the two people in front of him.

 

He jumped and got out of the encirclement.

 

When he wanted to grab a horse, the sound of hooves came from behind.

 

“Get on the horse’s back,” a familiar female voice ordered.

 

Mo Junyang was always calm, but after he heard this voice, he was dumbfounded for almost three seconds. He seemed to be fixed and didn’t move a bit.

 

The person behind him shouted again, “Get on the horse now.”

 

Mo Junyang finally came to his senses and turned his head.

 

As expected, he saw Shi Qingxue on horseback stop in front of him and reach out her fair-skinned hand to him.

 

Mo Junyang raised his hand subconsciously and put it in Qingxue’s hand.

 

He used the leverage lightly.

 

Then he jumped and flew to the horse’s back before falling behind Shi Qingxue steadily.

 

Shi Qingxue didn’t talk with Mo Junyang but gave the rein to him, saying, “You ride the horse.”

 

Mo Junyang soon got into it. He grabbed the rein with his left hand and lifted the sword with his right hand, rushing to the enemies’ weak point.

 

Before the other party reacted, he quickly waved his sword and killed the first two men in the way.

 

Shi Qingxue promptly lifted the arrows and pulled the crossbow, hitting two treasured horses’ front legs. The soldiers on horseback became like balls and rolled off the horses. Then they were killed by Mo Junyang’s people under the horses.

 

Mo Junjiu saw that the situation changed dramatically and it was harmful to him.

 

He didn’t want to fight anymore and left the remaining soldiers to resist Mo Junyang, while he urged the horse to run crazily.

 

However, this time, Mo Junyang didn’t purposely let Mo Junjiu go. He took out three darts from his pocket and shot them one by one.

 

The first and second dart hit the two front legs of Mo Junjiu’s horse respectively.

 

And the horse leaned forward immediately.

 

The third dart hit Mo Junjiu’s thigh.

 

Mo Junjiu was injured and fell off the horse’s back.

 

“Your Highness!”

 

A guard who followed Mo Junjiu closely all the time saw that and shouted with grief. He jumped off the horse’s back at high speed and ran to Mo Junjiu to hug him.

 

It happened in a flash.

 

When Mo Junyang urged the horse to rush to Mo Junjiu, the latter pinched his neck with one hand while sobbing and reached out the other hand to Mo Junyang, seeming to ask for help.

 

A lot of black blood flew from Mo Junjiu’s wounded thigh, which was soaked in blood in an instant.

 

“How can this happen?” Shi Qingxue was astonished.

 

He was just hit by a dart, and it was on his thigh with thick skin and much flesh. It couldn’t kill him.

 

Mo Junyang furrowed his dashing eyebrows and glanced over Mo Junjiu and the guard who hugged him. Then he turned around to look at Wei Zichao.

 

He ordered calmly, “Send for Shen Luo from my mansion and then made a simple stretcher to take him back.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Wei Zichao instantly went away with some people.

 

Mo Junjiu had only three guards left. Their master was defeated, so they were all like homeless dogs with no will to fight. They put down their weapons and went back to the capital.

 

Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang still shared a horse at the end of the crowd.

 

Their horse walked slowly and seemed to delay intentionally. In no time, they were away from the people in the front.

 

In the beginning, neither of them spoke.

 

Shi Qingxue couldn’t bear it and grabbed the rein from Mo Junyang, but she just grasped it in her hand. She asked in a low voice, “You…Don’t you want to say something to me?”

 

As soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to bite her tongue.

 

She came to get back at Mo Junyang.

 

How could she be so weak?

 

No way!

 

Shi Qingxue clenched her fists and encouraged herself in secret.

 

Then she turned her head aggressively and prepared to confront Mo Junyang, but she met the man’s eyes as deep as the sea.

 

She felt terrified and couldn’t say what she wanted to say. She got unconfident again for no reason.

 

“You…”

 

“You…”

 

Mo Junyang looked away before Shi Qingxue spoke.

 

They spoke at the same time and then looked at each other again. At last, they fell into silence.

 

Mo Junyang looked deeply at Shi Qingxue’s spinous bun and let her speak first, like a gentleman.

 

Shi Qingxue lowered her head and murmured, “Did Mo Junjiu do anything to you when you were in the Cold Palace?”

 

Mo Junyang was stunned and didn’t expect that Shi Qingxue would ask such a question.

 

He didn’t give a response after a long while.

 

Shi Qingxue raised her head in confusion. Her eyes were clear, but she could hardly conceal her concern about him. She looked at him and asked, “Tell me. Were you bullied by him?”

 

At last, her voice was anxious.

 

Mo Junyang stared blankly at Shi Qingxue for quite a while, and sadness flashed in his eyes.

 

Before Shi Qingxue saw it clearly, her eyes were covered by a pair of big warm hands.

 

The man’s deep and hoarse voice appeared.

 

“Don’t look at me like this.”

 

His voice was helpless, with unspeakable sorrow hidden.

 

Shi Qingxue also felt heartbroken.

 

What happened?

 

Was Mo Junyang really humiliated by Mo Junjiu in the Cold Palace?

 

At the thought of this possibility, Shi Qingxue was restless.

 

This was almost what she worried most all the way, but Mo Junyang kept her in suspense and was unwilling to tell her.

 

She grabbed Mo Junyang’s hand in anxiety and confronted this man.

 

“What on earth happened? Tell me!”

 

Nobody knew what was wrong with Mo Junyang. He didn’t dare to meet Shi Qingxue’s eyes and turned away again.

 

He didn’t explain and even kept silent.

 

Shi Qingxue could do nothing as he was so stubborn.

 

She sighed and mumbled, “But with your character, you won’t be indifferent after you are bullied. It must be like…”

 

Even though Mo Junyang had sharp ears, he couldn’t hear her last words clearly.

 

Shi Qingxue didn’t say that to him. Seeing that Mo Junyang didn’t plan to talk about what happened in the Cold Palace, she didn’t want to force herself to think about that place like a nightmare.

 

She just asked, “What was going on just now? Did you put poison on the dart?”

 

Mo Junyang was expressionless, but since Shi Qingxue didn’t insist on asking what happened in the Cold Palace, he heaved a sigh of relief.

 

He answered her question for the first time. “No.”

 

“But he looked like…” He was poisoned.

 

It was not that Shi Qingxue didn’t believe Mo Junyang’s words, but his behavior was too suspicious.

 

Mo Junyang shook his head. Nobody knew if he didn’t want to reply or he really didn’t know. He didn’t say anything.

 

He became dumb again.

 

Shi Qingxue glared at the man helplessly and wanted to complain.

 

Suddenly she remembered that Mo Junyang didn’t like talking in the past and looked cruel, but he was graceful, and his occasional smile gave people a wrong feeling. Others might think he was gentle.

 

But after she lost her memory, Mo Junyang became silent and seemed to return to be gloomy, making people feel frightened for no reason.

 

Shi Qingxue certainly wouldn’t fear Mo Junyang.

 

She didn’t fear him, and she even felt sad as the man changed.

 

He had become…

 

Shi Qingxue stopped her imagination. It was pointless if she thought about Mo Junyang’s change. It was better to figure out a way to change him.

 

But before this, she had to ask for payment of a debt.

 

“Huh. You can keep silent if you don’t want to say. Wouldn’t I ask Mo Junjiu?” Shi Qingxue still talked about what happened in the Cold Palace.

 

She must make it clear first.

 

So she didn’t care about Mo Junyang’s changing emotions. She grabbed the rein and headed to King Rui’s mansion.

 

The accident happened when they reached King Rui’s mansion.

 

Shen Luo stood at the gate. As soon as he saw them, he walked to them in a hurry.

 

He looked solemn and said in a deep voice,

 

“Mo Junjiu, has died.”
