It was already dark, and all the servants in the Mo Mansion had taken a rest.
At this time, Mo Juren was not sleepy at all, sitting in the study room listening to the report of the fifth wife Wang.
Wang's original name was Wang Xuezhen. She was originally the personal maid of the eldest lady Jin, and later married him as his fifth wife. Like Jin, she was someone he could trust absolutely.
Therefore, when the original person left, he handed over the most important secret rudder in his hand to the other party. This kind of trust is something that other wives cannot enjoy.
Wang's appearance is outstanding, but her temperament is very cold. She is usually taciturn, giving people the impression that she should be kept away from strangers. Only when facing her husband will she reveal her weak side.
She is very capable. She grew up next to the Jin family and has developed strong decisiveness. Over the years, she has been able to firmly control the Dark Helm despite internal and external difficulties, which is enough to prove her extraordinary wisdom and methods.
Following Wang's narration, Mo Juren had a general understanding of the current situation of the Jingjiao Society. In short, there were constant internal and external troubles, and the situation was not optimistic.
Externally, there are mainly two sworn enemies, the Domination Villa and the Five Color Gate. Over the years, they have taken advantage of his absence to attack and plot against the Jingjiao Society. As for the internal situation, the same instability, intrigues, and mutual strife often occur.
It greatly depleted the Jingjiao Society's vitality.
"Five Color Gate."
Mo Juren whispered, and suddenly remembered something in his mind. In the original work, after Ouyang Feitian was assassinated by Han Li, the Five Color Sect took the opportunity to occupy a large area of power, and stood side by side with the two heroes of the Jingjiao Society who also benefited.
However, such a confrontation cannot last forever. The Five Color Sect quickly took action again and took over the entire underground power in Lanzhou in a very short period of time. The son of the leader of the Five Color Sect even married Mo Yuzhu.
, it can be said that you have both wealth and appearance.
As for the Mohist family, facing the deeply hidden Five Color Sect, they had no power to fight back. They fell apart in an instant, dying and fleeing. It was so miserable.
Thinking of this section, he felt unspeakably awkward. The eldest daughter, Mo Yuzhu, really had this name for nothing. She committed herself to the enemy and considered herself a thief as her father. She also willingly gave birth to an heir and carried on the family line. It would not be unfair to say that she was ignorant.
As for the five-color door, it is a bit troublesome.
Mo Juren knew very well that the reason why the other party had such strong strength was because there was the shadow of the spiritual beast mountain of the great cultivating sect behind him. This was the crux of the matter.
Of course, for the great sect of cultivating immortals, gangs in the secular world such as the Five Color Sect are simply insignificant, and there are countless people who want to rely on them, so they don't care at all.
The so-called shadows are, at best, just the private actions of some disciples and have nothing to do with the sect.
However, just this little support is enough. The gap between immortal cultivators and mortals is too big, just like clouds and mud. A little support is the difference between heaven and earth, and there is no possibility of resistance.
"Five Color Gate, Spirit Beast Mountain, Yuling Sect..."
Reciting these names silently in his heart, Mo Juren had a vague understanding in his mind, and his dark eyes shone with a strange light. Wang saw this scene, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of light on his cold cheeks.
Confuse.
She didn't make a sound to disturb him, she just sat there quietly, looking at her husband with watery eyes, waiting for further instructions from him.
Mo Juren came back to his senses and immediately saw the obedient and quiet appearance of the other party. A hint of a faint smile suddenly appeared in his eyes. Who would have thought that the fifth lady, who is usually known for her coolness, has such a side?
.
Putting away his thoughts, he immediately began to give some brief instructions. Generally speaking, everything was as usual, and there shouldn't be too many actions.
"Since my husband has returned safely, Dark Helm should be in charge personally. I..." Xu Shi thought for a long time. After listening, Wang suddenly took the initiative and planned to hand over the power. However, before he could finish his words, Mo Ju
Ren raised his hand to interrupt,
"I have other more important things, and the Dark Helm is still under your control."
Wang's rosy mouth opened, but she did not refute after all. She knew that her husband always spoke the truth, so whatever she said must have been well thought out, and the possibility of changing it was minimal.
…
Time passed, and half a month passed in a flash since Mo Juren returned to Mo Mansion.
During this period, Jiayuan City was still prosperous and prosperous, and there was no turmoil.
The Jingjiao Society's performance also left countless people confused. It was too quiet, as if nothing had happened and everything remained the same as before.
It was nothing at first. I just thought that the leader of the Mo Association had not returned home for a long time and was busy reuniting with his wife and daughter and could not care about anything else.
However, as time went by, some rumors gradually increased. People speculated that the leader of the Mo Association seemed to be fine, but in fact, his injuries had not recovered at all, so he did not dare to go to war.
Of course, although there are various speculations, no force comes to test it. After all, as long as one's own interests are not damaged, no one will be stupid enough to risk their lives to be the first.
As a result, the various forces in Jiayuan City have reached a strange balance amidst this doubt and speculation. They continue to do what they were doing before, and everything remains the same.
However, this calmness did not last long. Soon, a piece of gossip spread out from nowhere.
Wu Jianming, the fake disciple who came with Mo Juren's suicide note and tokens a few days ago, has been captured and is currently being held in the dungeon of Mo Mansion. After interrogation, it turned out to be the seventh direct disciple of Ouyang Feitian who dominated the Villa.
The purpose of being an undercover agent is self-evident, it is to rush towards Jingjiao.
The spread of the news immediately detonated all the forces in Jiayuan City, and even affected the entire Lanzhou. This almost nakedly tore apart the last layer of bottom line between the two parties, and there was no possibility of compromise.
Everyone is waiting for Ouyang Feitian's reaction. As your direct disciple, for the benefit of the sect, you are willing to take big risks and go to Mo Mansion to work as an undercover agent. What a sacrifice it is.
As the leader of a faction and the mentor who taught him his fortune, he can't just ignore death. If he really doesn't take action, the gang's people's hearts will collapse immediately. How can one of the three overlords be turned into a castle in the air and separated in an instant?
Sooner or later.
However, if you choose to come to rescue, it will be very lively. A big war is inevitable. Especially since the two sides have been fighting for many years, and they have built up countless grievances. Once the fight starts, it will definitely last forever.
More importantly, Mo Juren is back, and the Jingjiao Society is different from the past. The gap in strength is no longer huge. The result of the war will definitely be extremely tragic, and both sides are likely to suffer losses.
Undercurrents are surging in Lanzhou, and it is natural that Duba Villa, which is at the highest point of public opinion, cannot remain calm.
At this moment, the hall of the villa was brightly lit, and more than a dozen senior elders were gathering together to argue fiercely about something. From noon until night, no result was ever reached.
Ouyang Feitian, the owner of the village, who was sitting on the main seat, watched all this with cold eyes and said nothing. However, the fists that he kept clenching and unclenching under his arms revealed his uneasy heart.
"Master, tell me, do you want to start a war?" Someone below finally couldn't help it anymore and asked the question. However, before Ouyang Feitian could answer, another elder immediately retorted,
"Starting a war is easy to say. Do you think it's still the same as before, when the Mo family only had a bunch of orphans and widows who could be suppressed at will. Now that Mo Juren is back, Jingjiao will have a backbone, and it is no longer a mess. If we fight again, then
There is something wrong with the brain, and when the time comes, both sides will suffer losses, and in the end the cheaper one will not be the five-color door."
"But what should Wu Jianming do? We can't ignore it. If people's hearts are gone, the consequences will be more serious."
"Of course we have to save, but we can't act recklessly. We need to find a way to get the best of both worlds and be more prudent."
"You are smart. Anyway, I can't think of any other way to take care of both sides."
"..."
"Ahem..."
Ouyang Feitian coughed twice, interrupting the conversation between the two. They had been arguing for a whole afternoon and it was endless. In the end, he still had to make the decision.
"It's not in the interests of the Villa to stop the all-out war. As for Xiao Qi, I will rescue him myself. I won't go into details about the method. Please leave now."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to ask any more questions, he stood up and left the hall. For a moment, all the elders looked at each other, a little at a loss.
