Chapter 84 The Missed Righteousness

Chapter 84 Missing the Great Meaning

When Chen Mo returned to Xia Cai again, it was late August twenty days later.

It was around Chen Shi that Gong Du, who was the city defense, saw Chen Mo from afar, hurried down the city tower, held the horse's reins, and said with a smile, "Where have you been going these days? How many brothers are so tired to worry about you!"

"Haha," Chen Mo turned over and got off the horse, looked at Cai City, and saw that the city was as usual, and said with a chuckle, "How is the situation in the city when I am not here these days?"

"Everything is fine," Gong Du handed the reins in his hand to the soldiers beside him, and then lowered his voice, "But Yuan Shu frequently sent envoys to ask about the news about the elder brother these days. Oh, by the way, Yuan Shu also gave me a large number of weapons and supplies. Sometimes, I really don't understand what that guy was thinking."

Is it to win over? Chen Mo frowned slightly, then subconsciously looked around and asked in confusion, "Where is Liu Pi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Du's face was full of embarrassment. Needless to say, that guy probably went to fish in troubled waters during his time on duty again.

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Mo said goodbye to Gong Du and walked towards his residence.

After walking into his own yard, patting his horse's back, and asking him to go to the yard to rest by himself. Chen Mo walked straight into the house.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Chen Mo felt Tang Xiner embroidering in the house. She looked at her sewing the jacket in her hand stitches. Chen Mo didn't know why, but couldn't bear to disturb her.

Perhaps because he noticed the shadow shining inside the house, Tang Xiner raised her head and looked at the door. When she saw Chen Mo, she was stunned, and then she looked very happy in her eyes. She hurriedly put the work in her hand on the table, stood up and gave a gift, and called out in a soft voice, "When will your husband come back? How can you stand outside the house?"

"I just arrived, and I saw that you were fully focused and afraid that I would scare you, so I didn't call you..."

Chen Mo chuckled, walked into the house, sat down on the stool beside the table, put the bag in his hand on the table, raised his head, and said with a little apology, "I'm not in the city these days, thank you for your hard work..."

"What did you say about your husband? Why did you work hard..." Speaking of this, Tang Xiner seemed to suddenly think of something, her expression changed slightly, and her mood seemed to be a little depressed. She lowered her head. After hesitating for a while, she bit her lips and said timidly, "It's my husband, this long journey is probably exhausted physically and mentally..." As she said that, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Mo.

He took the tea from his beloved wife, looked at her lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled slightly, Chen Mo's heart moved, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately said, "Ah, yes, this journey is more than a thousand miles away..."

"Chang'an..." Tang Xin'er's shoulders trembled slightly under Chen Mo's narrow eyes and said in a trembling tone, "Don't... Isn't it referring to what Yuan Envoy gave?"

"Yes!" Chen Mo was secretly happy, but there was no strangeness on his face. He drank the tea in the cup in one mouthful, then turned his head and looked at Tang Xiner with interest.

Tang Xiner obviously did not notice the smirk at the corner of her husband's mouth. She covered her chest, lowered her head, and stood quietly by the table. After a while of silence, she asked in a trembling tone, "Then... Since the husband is back, that is, the husband has completed what Yuan Envoy has assigned..."

Chen Mo clearly noticed Tang Xiner's trembling shoulders, raised a smirk on the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and sighed, "It's a failure!"

"Lost...uh?" Tang Xiner subconsciously raised her head and looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

Chen Mo held back the funny thing in his heart, looked at Tang Xiner in disguise and said, "You seem to be relieved when you hear me say you fail..."

As if it was something Chen Mo said, Tang Xiner's heart was thrilled, she looked away uneasyly, and said in a weak tone, "Husband... Husband is joking, how could I have such thoughts? I was just surprised. With my husband's strength, who can stop me..."

"That's not necessarily?" Chen Mo chuckled, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and looked at Tang Xiner with a smile.

In an instant, Tang Xiner's face turned red, and she snatched the paper from Chen Mo's hand a little out of control. After a rough look, she turned her back to Chen Mo and said timidly, "Yes... I'm sorry, husband, I really shouldn't have done such a thing, it's just... just..."

However, before she finished speaking, she felt a pair of strong arms wrapping around her, and she was so relieved.

"Follower, just tell me something like this, why bother hide it in your robe? If you don't notice it, wouldn't you call you, or even call me a husband and you will regret it for your whole life?"

Listening to the soft voice that came into his ears, Tang Xiner turned around, looked at her husband's sincere eyes, her eyes turned slightly red, and she nodded with her mouth and swallowing.

"Why are you... crying? Stop crying..." Looking at the tears that burst out from your eyes, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little panicked, secretly blaming himself for adding extra money and teasing Yiren.

"No," looking at Chen Mo's busy look, Tang Xiner couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said gently, "I just cried with joy... I am free and both my parents died. Now, my husband and Xie are my only relatives in the world, and I don't want to lose any of them..." As she said that, she paused, stretched out her hands and gently hugged Chen Mo's waist, and pressed her body against him.

"Fool," kissed Yiren and stroked her long hair indulgently. Chen Mo sighed secretly, suddenly changed the subject and said angrily, "But your willfulness is just a waste of time. You are going to Chang'an for more than a thousand miles. Is it necessary to punish you?"

"Uh?" Tang Xiner was stunned for a moment, raised her head in surprise and looked at Chen Mo. Then she seemed to think of something. Her face was flushed, she grabbed Chen Mo's sleeves tightly, buried her head in his arms, bit her lips and said in a soft voice, "What I am talking about is... I am willful, I will beat and punish me, and I have no complaints..."

While speaking, she raised her head and looked at Chen Mo secretly, but she didn't expect to touch Chen Mo's gaze. Subconsciously, her body trembled and her breathing was a little rapid.

Looking at Tang Xiner's strangeness, Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed because his original intention was just to joke with her and dispel the grudges in her heart, but he didn't expect that the sentence would make her misunderstand.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, so that the room suddenly became quiet and Tang Xiner's slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

"Xin'er..." Chen Mo opened his mouth to stare at the beauty in his arms affectionately.

Feeling her husband's arms getting closer and closer, Tang Xiner's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and her face turned red, especially the flickering gaze, which proved how uneasy she was in her heart at this moment.

"Xin'er?"

Listening to the call from his husband in his ears, Tang Xiner mustered up her courage, raised her head, stared at the pair of affectionate eyes, then closed her eyes and raised her head...

It took a long time until a burst of footsteps came from outside the yard that the two separated.

"Ship Chen, the young master, please come to the mansion to discuss major events!"

"Su Su?" After looking at Tang Xiner, who was hiding behind the door, Chen Mo nodded and said to the soldier who came to report the news, "You go back and report, just say I'll arrive immediately!"

"No!" The Yellow Turban soldier retreated with his fists.

Listening to the footsteps in the yard getting farther and farther away, Tang Xiner looked at Chen Mo with some anxiety and said hesitantly, "Can't Su Su hear about this too..."

Looking at her restless look, Chen Mo gently patted her shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, I'll go there first and come back soon!"

After hearing her husband's words, Tang Xiner seemed to have taken a reassurance, nodded and said, "I will prepare some dishes to wash my husband..."

"Ah!" Chen Mo nodded, then strode towards the yard.

Looking at Chen Mo's back as he left, Tang Xiner leaned beside the door, stretched out her right hand involuntarily, touched her lips with her index finger. Her heart was full of sweetness.

Not to mention that Tang Xiner was happily preparing dishes for her husband, and Chen suddenly came to Zhang Susu's mansion.

I have to say that Chen Mo, who was still masculine in front of Tang Xiner just now, couldn't help feeling guilty at this moment. As for why, hahaha...

A moment later, Chen Mo came to the study room in the house with a familiarity, and Zhang Susu was holding a book scroll and waiting for it. After seeing Chen Mo, as usual, she threw down the book in her hand and threw it into his arms, revealing her look like she could pick it, which made Chen Mo very embarrassed.

"Ahem, come down, Susu!" Chen Mo looked back at the courtyard with some anxiety. When he found that there was no Yellow Turban soldiers on duty in the courtyard, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go!" Zhang Susu pouted in dissatisfaction, let go of her hands and got off Chen Mo, picked up the book from the table, and sat on the chair and said angrily, "Listen to Gong Du, Xiao Mo came back to Xia Cai, I knew you would definitely see that woman first... Humph!" As she said that, she seemed to think of something, hurriedly ran to Chen Mo, bent down slightly and sniffed Chen Mo, then raised her head and looked at Chen Mo with suspicious eyes.

Chen Mo couldn't help feeling embarrassed and said, "Su Su, what are you doing..."

Zhang Susu looked at Chen Mo deeply, suddenly smiled and said proudly, "Fortunately, Susu sent someone to call Xiao Mo in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable..." As she said that, she looked at Chen Mo with a deep look.

"What...what?" Chen Mo smiled dryly. He wouldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Susu's words. If the footsteps of the Yellow Turban soldier had alarmed Chen Mo and Tang Xiner, perhaps at this moment...

Oh!

Looking at Chen Mo's helpless appearance for a long time, Zhang Susu took a few steps back and sat lazily on the chair at the table, saying with a smile, "Two days ago, a detailed report came to report that Chenliu's prefect Cao Cao had brought Emperor Liu Xie and all the officials to Xuchang... Xiao Mo would fail, Susu was very surprised!"

"If a person fails, a horse will make a mistake. If you want to blame, it is for Cao Mengde's rescue of the troops to come too timely. Five thousand vanguards and more than 40,000 elites. Even if I have great abilities, I cannot assassinate Liu Xie among the heavy troops, right?"

Chen Mo sat down at the table with some guilt, poured himself a glass of water, and then pretended to be drinking water seriously to avoid Zhang Susu's terrible gaze.

"Oh, is that?" Zhang Susu smiled strangely, leaned forward, put her delicate face in front of Chen Mo, and chuckled softly, "But Susu heard that when Liu Xie was trapped in Hongnong, a knight appeared during the period. He broke into the city alone and defeated Guo Si and Li Jue, so that Liu Xie and others took the opportunity to escape... Heard that the knight was called Wang Yue, oh!"

"Cough cough!" Zhang Susu's sudden words made Chen Mo, who was already a little guilty, feel shocked and coughed repeatedly by tea.

Seeing Chen Mo's face flushed with coughing, Zhang Susu was both angry and distressed, and hurriedly stood up, held him with one hand, gently stroked his back with the other, and blaming softly, "You, really, can't you drink slowly?"

After a few breaths, Chen Mo stopped coughing. Zhang Susu still sat back on the chair, holding her chin and looking at Chen Mo with interest, and smiled frivolously, "Don't Xiao Mo want to say anything? For example, about the knight named Wang Yue..."

Chen Mo smiled awkwardly. In fact, after Zhang Susu said the name Wang Yue, he felt something was wrong. After all, Zhang Susu knew that the so-called Wang Yue was Chen Mo's other identity. He took a step back and even Zhang Baiqi vaguely guessed this, because at the beginning, it was Zhang Baiqi who ordered the killing of the real Wang Yue.

Looking at Zhang Susu's playful gaze, Chen Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I have thought about assassinating Liu Xie, but I really can't do it... Two years ago, I had already killed his biological father with my own hands, and now I will kill him again...I..." As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Susu, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Susu, this time, I disappointed you..."

"Xiao Mo..." Zhang Susu was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Mo to react like this. She hurriedly held his hand and said repeatedly, "What's the disappointment or not? When did Xiao Mo disappoint Susu? As for Liu Xie... Humph! The Han royal family is just surviving. Even if the little emperor's life is preserved, he will not be able to cause much trouble. In contrast, Susu cares a lot about Cao Cao!"

"Cao Mengde?"

"Well," Zhang Susu nodded, took a teacup from the table and played with it, and said in a calm voice, "Now the Han Dynasty is floating, all the princes in the world have two hearts, like Yuan Shu and others, everywhere. In Susu's opinion, it is probably that the princes in the world are eager to die in Guo Si and Li Jue... Humph, for him, Liu Xie's existence is undoubtedly a burden, but Cao Cao took the initiative to borrow Liu Xie and the officials to Xuchang at this time... His intentions are not a loyal person, but he is a traitor!"

"How do you say this?"

"Xiao Mo didn't know that Liu Xie's existence was insignificant to me, the Yellow Turban, but the Han Dynasty was a great man who had been passed down for four hundred years. The Liu dynasty was deeply rooted, so the people in the world were obsessed with each other. Even if the imperial power is now lost, there are many people who support it. Therefore, Yuan Shu asked Xiao Mo to secretly remove Liu Xie to cut off the blood of the Liu family, so as to prevent him from usurping the throne in the future..."

"Then Cao Cao..."

"Ha," Zhang Susu chuckled and said in a low voice, "Cao Cao has half of Yanzhou, holding nearly tens of thousands of soldiers. Susu had previously said that he and Yuan Shu were the same as Yuan Shu, but now it seems that Cao Cao is indeed far-reaching than Yuan Shu. Not to mention whether this person takes back the emperor is public or private, from now on, the princes in the world will all rely on Cao Cao's breath in the great righteousness. Otherwise, Cao Cao only needs to ask Liu Xie to write an edict, and the princes will become a riot and lose their righteousness. And Cao Cao can be a natural rule and attack the unjust ministers..."

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and murmured, "Tele to command the princes!"

After hearing this, Zhang Susu's eyes lit up and giggled, "Xiao Mo said it well. That's right. Since ancient times, the unrighteous reputation has made the words unsatisfied. The reason why Yuan Shu did not dare to usurp the throne for a long time was nothing more than the name of great righteousness. Now, Cao Cao has won Liu Xie, which can be regarded as having great righteousness. Xiao Mo looks at it. In a few days, Cao Cao can only mess with the incompatibility of the princes!"

"This..." Chen Mo never expected that there was such a stake in it. He was stunned when he heard this. He thought he had done nothing wrong. He couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment.

Zhang Susu obviously noticed Chen Mo's strangeness. Seeing his heavy expression on his face, he quickly changed his words and chuckled and comforted, "Xiao Mo doesn't have to worry so much. In fact, whether to kill Liu Xie or not has any interest in me or not. Xiao Mo probably doesn't know that since Sun Jian's death, Yuan Shu has become more arrogant and regarded me as a vassal and called me to drink. Two days ago, he heard that Cao Cao took Liu Xie to Xuchang, and he was unpredictable and gave me a large number of weapons and supplies for no reason. Hahaha, looking at this situation, Susu felt that Xiao Mo had saved Liu Xie's life, but he helped me a lot!"

"Is it...is it?" Chen Mo became much more relieved after hearing this. After all, he had promised to help Zhang Susu to make a comeback, and once he did something that would violate the interests of the Yellow Turbans, it would undoubtedly be a violation of the promise.

"Yes!" Zhang Susu held her cheeks and giggled, blinked her eyes and said, "As for Yuan Shu, Xiao Mo doesn't need to worry. She said that Xiao Mo had successfully made Liu Xie be captured by Guo Si and Li Jue again that day. She wanted to sneak into Hongnong Bank at night, but she didn't want a knight named Wang Yue to kill her on the way and rescue Liu Xie and others. So Xiao Mo had no idea. When she wanted to find the opportunity, Cao Cao had already led his army to arrive..."

"Is this explanation OK?"

"That's enough," Zhang Susu chuckled and said, "I don't think that Xiao Mo would change his mind halfway..."

"Is that..." Chen Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she raised her head again, she unexpectedly found that Zhang Susu looked at her with a smile. Her smile made Chen Mo feel a little guilty.

"Hey, Xiao Mo, I heard that the woman had lived in the palace since she was a child. She had a good relationship with Liu Bin and Liu Xie brothers, and she was like a sibling... Xiao Mo couldn't bear to attack Liu Xie, which is probably also included, right?"

Looking at Zhang Susu's beautiful face getting closer and closer to him, Chen Mo laughed dryly and said vaguely, "How...How is it possible..."

"Is that?" Zhang Susu got up and sat on Chen Mo's lap, hugged his neck, and said softly in his ear, "I hope Xiao Mo didn't change his mind halfway because of that woman, otherwise..."

"otherwise?"

"Su Su will be jealous..."

"Yes...is it..." Chen Mo sweated like rain.

At the same time, in Xuchang, Yuzhou, two fast horses ran out of the city, one went to Xuzhou, and the other went to Shouchun...
