Chapter 243 Is there anything special about this name?
"Mom, is there anything special about this name?"
Mrs. Mo hesitated for a moment and then told a story from the past.
"I'm just a little sensitive to the word 'cute'. At that time, your father and I had just gotten married, and the border war was tense. The late emperor named your father a marshal and led a large army to support.
When I was young, I was impatient and didn't want to be separated from your father, so I disguised myself as a man and followed the team.
Your father achieved a great victory. It took him two months to drive the bandits from southern Xinjiang out of our Dashun land, and at the same time he captured the chief general of southern Xinjiang.
During the interrogation, it was discovered that the leader of Southern Xinjiang was actually their eldest princess Yuan Meng.
At that time, I was standing next to your father wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier. It was obvious that she was very obsessed with your father. She even claimed that as long as your father agreed to marry her, he would immediately return to southern Xinjiang to persuade his father to completely surrender to him.
Dashun surrendered.
Her request was rejected by your father on the spot. Later, Yuan Meng was unwilling to give in. After she was exchanged for a large amount of property by the Southern Xinjiang emperor, she still tried to get close to your father.
Until we returned to Beijing in triumph and I had given birth to your eldest brother, Yuan Meng still missed your father.
For this reason, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang specially sent an envoy to ask the late Emperor to grant a marriage between Yuan Meng and your father.
The late emperor knew the rules of the Moh family and even more so his father's temperament, so he directly rejected the request of the envoy from southern Xinjiang.
Even so, Yuan Meng still did not give up. Not long after the envoy from southern Xinjiang returned, she personally came to our capital city of Dashun and stalked your father.
Facing such a person, your father and I felt extremely angry. In desperation, your father asked the late emperor for an order and volunteered to go to the Western Territory to guard it.
He became the guard of the frontier, so naturally he could bring his family with him, so I stayed with him all the time.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Meng still refused to give up, and she was so crazy that she used her own blood to feed the Love Gu.
It's a pity that Yuan Meng was too impatient, and when he was bewitching, your father saw through it at a glance, and he killed Yuan Meng on the spot in a rage.
This incident caused a sensation in Southern Xinjiang and Dashun. A son from a noble family in Southern Xinjiang named Shao Xin who admired Yuan Meng personally went out to attack Dashun during the Qingming Dynasty, intending to kill your father with his own hands to avenge Yuan Meng.
It's a pity that Shao Xin is no match for your father in terms of martial arts or military skills. When the southern Xinjiang was defeated and retreated, Shao Xin swore in front of both armies that he would avenge Yuan Meng in this life and cursed the Mo family to annihilate their descendants."
After hearing this past incident, Mo Jiuye asked seriously: "Mom, do you mean that this Mr. Simeng is probably the Shao Xin who loved Yuan Meng back then?"
Mrs. Mo said calmly: "What I have said is just a guess. Two of you brothers have been poisoned by poison, and the art of cultivating poison comes from southern Xinjiang. This has to make me think of this person.
Especially your father’s death has many similarities with your brothers.”
Mo Jiuye was only five years old when Duke Mo died in battle. The specific situation was only mentioned by his elders and brothers.
He only knew that his father was also poisoned by thieves in southern Xinjiang, and was later captured and his head hung on the city wall for public display.
Now that I think carefully about what happened to my brothers, aren’t they exactly the same as my father?
Several brothers from the Mo family clenched their fists in unison.
Mo Chuhan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and asked, "Third brother, have you found out the true identity of Mr. Simeng?"
This question is the key to what everyone wants to know. Mo Yunfeng said solemnly:
"I spent several months researching in southern Xinjiang and finally found Simeng Villa. The place was completely different from what I thought. Not only was it not magnificent, it actually looked a bit dilapidated."
"Destroyed?" Mo Jiuye couldn't help but ask. Indeed, this was not only what the third brother thought, but she also found it a bit unbelievable.
You know, those Gu masters in Southern Xinjiang are very rich. How could they describe the place where they live as dilapidated?
Mo Yunfeng nodded: "Yes, the place is indeed very rundown, and I searched there for three days and didn't see a single person.
Just when I was about to leave, I found someone coming out of the villa. I guessed that there might be a secret passage in this villa. Otherwise, why didn't I find anyone after I wandered there for so long?
So, I followed the man carefully. He must have come out to purchase supplies. He went to the market to buy some rice and then went back.
I followed him into the villa again. Maybe the man had discovered my presence long ago. After arriving at the villa, he deliberately took a detour and finally stopped at a corner.
The man used Gu when he attacked. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and didn't get hit. Later, the man threw several Gu insects at me, but I dodged them. Maybe he saw that he was no match for me, so he
Spread a handful of poisonous powder and flee the scene.
I once suffered such a disadvantage. When I saw the poisonous powder, I subconsciously covered my mouth and nose, and the person took this opportunity to escape quickly.
I chased him for three whole days, until I caught him within the territory of Dashun.
After interrogation, we found out that Mr. Simeng has not been back for six years, and the voodoo farmers who once took refuge with Mr. Simeng have also left one after another. Now there are only a few voodoo farmers stationed in the villa."
"So, there is indeed a place like a secret room in Simeng Villa." Mo Zhongyuan said solemnly.
"Indeed, I learned from that person that the entrance to the secret room of Simeng Villa is under a dry well. That place is very secret. No wonder I searched for it for so long and found nothing.
If I hadn't thought about my family being worried if I couldn't come back in time for the New Year, I would definitely go back and check." Mo Yunfeng said calmly: "Now that my family knows that I am safe, I plan to go and check again after the New Year."
Mo Chuhan was the most impulsive among the brothers. He stood up and slammed his fist on the table.
"I'm leaving for southern Xinjiang now, and I will turn Simeng Villa upside down." As he said that, Mo Chuhan had already turned around and was about to walk out, but was stopped by Mrs. Mo in a deep voice.
"Chuhan, sit down, things haven't been figured out yet, what did you do?
Besides, everyone in Simeng Villa is good at voodoo. If you go there, can you guarantee that you won’t be tricked again?
At that time, let alone not knowing the whereabouts of your eldest brother and second brother, your family will still have to find a way to save you."
After hearing his mother's words, Mo Chuhan immediately lost his arrogance and sat back down unwillingly.
"Mom, what do you think we should do? It's hard to find any clues, but we can't just give up, right?"
Mrs. Mo glanced around with deep eyes, and finally her eyes fell on He Zhiran.
She had long discovered that her ninth daughter-in-law was much smarter than his sons. At this time, it was necessary to listen to her opinion.
"Heshe, what do you think about this matter?"
Ever since listening to Third Brother's story, He Zhiran has been thinking about it.
