"Tomorrow I will let my father and brothers know about this matter. No matter what, everyone needs to be mentally prepared," Mo Jiuye frowned as he spoke, clearly worried.
He Zhiran came up and gently comforted: "We will meet the enemy's attack by every possible means, there are always more solutions than problems. Things have not become too serious yet. As long as we take precautions early, there will definitely be no issues."
At present, she could not do anything and could only comfort Mo Jiuye not to worry too much.
The next day, Mo Jiuye went to the second elder's yard. It just so happened that because of Mo Hanyue's marriage, the brothers were all there. He told them about the matter in public.
Mo Chuhan was impulsive and stood up first.
"Our Mo family has been loyal to the court. If it weren't for brother Jiu, we would all have become Yuan Meng's sacrifices by now.
Although we all disdain to rebel, we can’t let people shit on our heads either."
Although the words were a bit vulgar, they spoke to everyone present.
The second elder also stood up indignantly.
"Why don't we brothers secretly sneak into the capital and get rid of that dog emperor, so that he stops thinking about how to deal with our Mo family every day."
As soon as these words came out, people immediately echoed them, all thinking about assassinating Emperor Shunwu in the capital.
Just as Mo Jiuye was trying to stop them, the silent Mo Qing spoke up.
"You are really confused."
The second elder was not convinced.
"Dad, rather than waiting for people to bully us when they come, it's better to get rid of him early to eliminate future troubles."
"Reckless!" Mo Qing severely reprimanded his second son.
"Dad, according to what brother Jiu said, even if we don't make a move, Emperor Shunwu will still frame us with the crime of deceiving the emperor, and in the end we still have to rebel." At this time, Mo Chuhan could best understand the mood of the second elder.
Mo Qing was not unable to understand the feelings of his two sons, he just did not agree with their approach.
"Jiuye just said that the empress adopted the Fourth Prince. The Xue clan nurtured countless influences in the court to help Nan Heng ascend to the throne back then.
After Emperor Shunwu’s death, Nan Qi may not be the opponent of the Xue clan. Once the Fourth Prince succeeds to the throne, this world will completely become the Xue family’s world.
At that time, our situation will be dozens of times more difficult than when Emperor Shunwu was in power."
The reason why Mo Jiuye did not advocate assassinating Emperor Shunwu in the capital was for this reason.
"Second elder, eighth elder, what I mean is, let's first try to undermine the Xue family's power, and then try to assassinate Emperor Shunwu, only then can we achieve lasting results.
Of course, we can’t relax our vigilance in the northwest either. If anyone secretly makes trouble, we must not let them off easily.”
Although the second elder and the eighth elder were a little impatient, they were not completely brainless either.
After being reminded by their father and Mo Jiuye, both of them lost their previous momentum.
"Dad, brother Jiu, do we really have to just wait helplessly for death now?"
"We are not waiting helplessly for death, but making full preparations."
As Mo Jiuye spoke, he looked at the fifth elder.
"Fifth elder, how many bombs have we made now?"
"One thousand bombs have been made, all stored by me on the mountain." The fifth elder said.
Mo Jiuye scanned everyone.
"Seventh elder went south. It will take at least half a month for him to come back. Now our brothers plus Tao Ran, Liang Hao and the others add up to dozens of people.
We’ll gather everyone together in a moment and distribute the bombs to them while teaching them how to use them.
In addition, Rang Rang and I also have some repeating crossbows that can fire continuously up to twenty times.
We will equip everyone with weapons. Starting today, everyone will have to work a little harder to take turns guarding, to prevent intruders.
While protecting our own family, we must also take care of the villagers of Xi Ling Village and not let them get involved."
The eldest brother stood up.
"I’ll go arrange this matter."
While the eldest brother went to gather people, Mo Jiuye also asked He Zhiran to purchase a large number of repeating crossbows and enough arrows on Taobao and store them in an empty room.
After preparations here, the eldest brother also gathered all the manpower at the foot of the mountain.
Mo Jiuye called a few people to take enough repeating crossbows and went up the mountain with his brothers to train everyone.
Considering the physical condition of the daughters-in-law, he only used one day to teach everyone about the bombs and repeating crossbows before returning home.
Next was the time for Mo Hanyue to return home. The newlywed little couple has since lived in the quadrangle courtyard in Xi Ling Village.
Meng Huaining was also happy about this.
The facilities and furnishings of the quadrangle courtyard were the same as those of the Mo brothers. The furnishings in the room were also very popular with young people.
Meng Huaining simply felt reluctant to leave this place.
In order to accompany his young and delicate wife, he handed over the yamen affairs to his subordinates to handle before the wedding, preparing to rest for a few days.
If Meng Huaining came to the Mo family occasionally, they would not notice anything. But after staying here for a few days, he discovered that the Mo brothers ran up the mountain every day.
At first, he thought that the Mo brothers went up the mountain to hunt. Later, he found that they did not have any game when they came back.
If it was those ordinary commoners it would be fine, but the Mo brothers, as martial arts masters, could not have come back empty-handed after going up the mountain.
He was sensible enough to know that the Mo family had secrets. Although he was now half a Mo family member, if the family did not want to tell him things they did not want him to know, it would be inappropriate for him to take the initiative to inquire.
Mo Jiuye was more attentive and had long noticed his brother-in-law's curiosity.
After discussing with He Zhiran, he decided to tell him some of the things.
After all, Meng Huaining would be living with them in the future. If some clues were discovered after a long time, it would be better to tell him in advance.
It was better than making him feel that the Mo family did not trust him enough, and then discovering some things slowly by himself.
Of course, the bombs secretly produced by the Mo family and the seventh elder's trip to the south to gather his former subordinates were automatically concealed by Mo Jiuye.
In fact, when Meng Huaining presided over Tang Mingrui's case of hiring a murderer to kill, he had already discovered something wrong with the Xue family.
Especially during the interrogation process, Xue Fan directly admitted that he was of the same clan as the empress. This made Meng Huaining feel that things were not simple.
Later, Xue Fan and that assassin also mysteriously died in prison, and those thugs inexplicably became idiots. If someone told him this had nothing to do with the Mo family, even beating him to death could not make him believe it.
At the same time, he also guessed that the Xue family choosing to open Jingxian Building in the northwest was most likely related to the Mo family.
Now after listening to Mo Jiuye's account, it completely confirmed his previous speculation.
He thought of the favor he had received from Fei Nanyu when he came to the northwest to take office. The purpose was to observe the movements of the Mo family.
Because of his relationship with the Mo family, he eventually chose to lean towards their side.
As a result, he never passed on any information related to the Mo family to Fei Nanyu.
"Tomorrow I will let my father and brothers know about this matter. No matter what, everyone needs to be mentally prepared," Mo Jiuye frowned as he spoke, clearly worried.
He Zhiran came up and gently comforted: "We will meet the enemy's attack by every possible means, there are always more solutions than problems. Things have not become too serious yet. As long as we take precautions early, there will definitely be no issues."
