Chapter 81: Surrender or Die
Chapter 81: Surrender or Die
Time was hurried, and days passed in a blink of an eye.
When everyone was busy, Mo Xiu called Yan Ran over.
This was also the first time he called Yan Ran in front of him.
"How many of the courtiers do you know and are reliable in the current days?" Mo Xiu asked straightforwardly.
Yan Ran was stunned for a moment, "After Yan Wuji took the throne, the Royal Court was cleaned again. Now, it is estimated that everyone in the entire Royal Court is Yan Wuji's people, and there are few reliable people."
As she said, frowned, "Why are you asking this?"
Mo Xiu was silent for a while before saying, "It's almost time to solve Yan Wuji. I will support you at that time, but you need to form a team. You can't just be a queen or a minister."
"Support me to become the monarch?"
Yan Ran blinked, "If you can solve Yan Wuji, then the throne is at your fingertips. You don't want to be the emperor yourself?"
"I don't have any idea about the throne. As long as someone helps me control the Yan Kingdom, I don't care about anything else, but you are the most suitable person," Mo Xiu confided in his heart.
Yan Ran just asked casually.
After thinking for a while, she said, "I know that there is a person who has been forced to resign by Yan Wuji, but he has a lot of seniority in the Royal Court, and there are also quite a few officials. If you can solve Yan Wuji, maybe he can be used by us."
"Is he in Yan Capital?" Mo Xiu asked.
"He is," Yan Ran nodded.
"Okay, go find him now."
"Now? Looking for him in this identity?"
"Yes, but after you find him, show him your identity."
"..."
Yan Ran was silent for a while before she said, "It's not impossible, but that person has a weird temper. Even if you visit as the elder of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, he may not be willing to meet. Besides, Yan Wuji is still in power. It may be a little difficult for him to take refuge in us."
Regarding this, Mo Xiu disapproved, "I just want to find him, not to visit him. Even if he's not willing to see me, he still has to see me. I don't need him to take refuge either, since I find him, he must surrender to me."
...
After a while, the two left Su Mansion, crossed the streets and alleys, and finally appeared in front of a medium-sized mansion.
The gate of the house was closed tightly as if refusing to see guests.
Yan Ran came forward and knocked on the door, and soon, an honest middle-aged man opened the door.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Fang in the house?" Yan Ran asked.
The so-called Mr. Fang's name was Fang Shuping, and he was exactly the person Yan Wuji forced to resign.
Mo Xiu had learned about Fang Shuping's appearance from Yan Ran's mouth, so his Divine Consciousness had already targeted the suspected Fang Shuping person in the mansion.
However, the middle-aged man in charge of opening the door shook his head, "Master is not here, please go back."
"..."
Yan Ran was slightly surprised, and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
Before the middle-aged man closed the door, Mo Xiu took Yan Ran by the arm and rushed in.
"Eh, why did you two break in without authorization? Who gave you the courage..."
The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped in front of Mo Xiu and Yan Ran, but soon, he was pushed away by an invisible force. Before he could finish speaking, he felt Mo Xiu's extremely cold eyes and was immediately frightened, so he could only shut his tight.
Mo Xiu and Yan Ran went unimpeded all the way, and after a while, they came to the person who was suspected of Fang Shuping.
"Mr. Fang," Yan Ran respectfully saluted the man.
Fang Shuping was leaning against a peach tree, drinking alone. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and glanced, and he suddenly looked puzzled when he saw that they were two strangers.
"Who are you?" he asked drunkenly.
After asking, he waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't care, do you have any wine?"
Yan Ran was empty-handed; how could she give him wine? She didn't even prepare a gift, so after listening to Fang Shuping's words, she was somewhat embarrassed.
Fang Shuping saw Yan Ran's embarrassment and was slightly annoyed, "You don't even bring wine, aren't you embarrassed to visit me?"
"Mr. Fang is right, next time, we will bring fine wine to visit," Yan Ran said calmly.
Fang Shuping waved his hand, "Go away, no need for next time, I don't welcome you here."
Yan Ran was very helpless and couldn't help but glance at Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu naturally wouldn't leave easily, and he didn't care if Fang Shuping was really drunk or was playing a prestige under the guise of drinking. So with a raise of his hand, Fang Shuping immediately fell into his hands.
"You...what do you want?" Fang Shuping said in a daze.
Mo Xiu casually threw Fang Shuping out as Fang Shuping fell heavily to the ground, but he was still awake.
Then Mo Xiu looked at Yan Ran again and motioned with one eye.
Yan Ran understood, put away the illusion of the Thousand Faces Technique, and revealed her original appearance in front of Fang Shuping.
"Princess... Your Highness!"
After seeing Yan Ran's appearance, Fang Shuping was suddenly surprised.
Yan Ran was a little pleased, and the word "Your Highness" could somewhat tell Fang Shuping's position.
She hurriedly said, "Mr. Fang, I just offended you, please forgive me. We are here this time to discuss something with you."
Fang Shuping stood up from the ground with difficulty, patted the dust, and moved his muscles and bones again.
Yan Ran continued, "Although Yan Wuji has won the throne, he can't change his identity as a rebel. We are fully prepared and will tackle him soon. I hope that Mr. Fang can return to the Roya Court again."
Fang Shuping glanced at Yan Ran, walked to the peach tree, sat down and continued to take a sip of wine, and said, "Your Royal Highness, please go back, I can treat it as if you haven't been here today."
"Mr. Fang..."
Yan Ran wanted to say something but saw Fang Shuping shake his head, "This old man has already decided not to intervene in the government, and it is even more impossible to return to Royal Court. Your Royal Highness does not have to persuade me, but please go back."
Yan Ran pursed her lips and stopped talking.
At this time, Mo Xiu spoke, "We are just here to inform you, whether you agree or not, you must appear in the Royal Court at that time."
Fang Shuping frowned, glanced at Mo Xiu, and asked, "Who are you?"
Mo Xiu: "Whoever I am, you don't have to care, just remember what I said."
Fang Shuping sneered, "Who do you think you are? Since I said I will not return to the Royal Court again, I will never return to the Royal Court again. What can you do with me?"
Mo Xiu was indifferent, "You either surrender or die, you can choose for yourself."
Fang Shuping didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently, "What's the fear of death? If I'm really afraid of death, I won't blatantly confront Yan Wuji. You have the ability to kill me, but I want to see how you get me back to serve in the Royal Court!"
Mo Xiu snorted coldly as he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Fang Shuping, so he raised his hand and patted Fang Shuping with a palm.
With a "bang", Fang Shuping rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Yan Ran was shocked, "D-did you really kill him?"
"No," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "just let him experience the taste of death."
Although many people said they were not afraid of death, if they really experienced death, they would know what a terrible thing death was.
According to Mo Xiu's observation, Fang Shuping was such a person.
Therefore, he didn't mind letting Fang Shuping really die once. As a result, Fang Shuping felt scared and would obediently obey him, surrender to him, and be loyal to Yan Ran.
After a while, Mo Xiu raised his hand and tapped several acupuncture points on Fang Shuping's body.
"Cough, cough..."
Fang Shuping woke up and coughed sharply.
Just now, he was not afraid of the sky, but his face was full of horror at this moment, and his expression was a bit complicated. His whole person looked dazed as if thinking about something important.
"How was it?" Mo Xiu asked.
Fang Shuping was agitated, and quickly knelt down to Yan Ran, and said in a hoarse voice, "This old minister is willing to serve the princess."
...
It was said that Fang Shuping had a lot of officials under him. Since Fang Shuping had promised allegiance, after solving Yan Wuji and his party members, there was no need to worry about no one in the Royal Court presiding over the overall situation.
Next, as long as Yan Wuji and his party members were dealt with, Yan Ran would become the Queen of the Yan Kingdom, and then the entire Yan Kingdom would be under Mo Xiu's control.
After leaving Fang Shuping's place, Yan Ran said with some worry, "Although this really made him surrender easily, he also loses his integrity, so if he encounters trouble in the future, I am afraid that he will break his hands and try his best to save his life"
Mo Xiu naturally knew that Yan Ran was talking about Fang Shuping and that Yan Ran's worries were reasonable, but he didn't take it seriously, "It's human nature to break your hands and save your life. It's not a big deal. What we need is his help presiding over the overall situation in the Royal Court. It does not require his integrity. It doesn't matter whether there is such a thing or not. Anyway, there will be no time for him to betray."
Yan Ran nodded, "That makes sense."
As Mo Xiu was about to say something more, he abruptly sensed something, stopped, and frowned.
"What's the matter?" Yan Ran suddenly had some doubts.
"Su Qianqian was taken away," Mo Xiu replied.
"What!"
Yan Ran exclaimed, "Su Xuan was only taken away a few days ago, and now it is Su Qianqian's turn? Is the identity of Su Family Patriarch so hated?"
"Not being hated," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "it was the same group of people who captured Su Xuan, and Yan Qi was behind this group of people."
He said, then snorted coldly, "Since he is so anxious to die, I don't mind fulfilling his impatient wish!"
Yan Ran was silent for a while and asked, "Do you know where she is? Let's save her now."
"Don't worry," Mo Xiu didn't mess around, "I will send you back to Su Mansion first."
After a while, the two returned to Su Mansion.
The people in the house didn't seem to know that Su Qianqian had been taken away, and each performed their duties without any exception, and no one came to ask Mo Xiu for help.
Mo Xiu did not sit and wait for others to find out. When Yan Ran returned to the room, he left Su Mansion again and walked towards the royal palace.
