Chapter 671 Acceptance Decision (4)_1
However, what no one expected was that King Heng had managed to draw the mountain bandits to his side and was still hiding them in Phoenix Mountain. They no longer engaged in looting and robbing but did unspeakable things in secret for King Heng.
As a prince, King Heng was not suited to manage these people himself, so he threw the responsibility to the Lin Family, who in turn delegated it to their trusted aide, Chen Ji. Over the years, Chen Ji had completely subdued Scar face and the others. This time, sending the mountain bandits to deal with the Mo Family served to alleviate King Heng’s worries as well as settling some personal vendettas.
King Heng was no fool. Mo Yan felt that since he knew about the existence of the five beasts and was aware of her relationship with Xiao Ruiyuan, he must have guessed that Xiao Ruiyuan would send someone to protect her in secret. No matter what, Scar face and his men would not succeed. He must have sent someone else to deal a fatal blow to her family. Scar face and his men were merely scapegoats. By doing so, King Heng could eliminate her, a thorn in his side, strike at Xiao Ruiyuan, and not arouse Emperor Huian’s suspicion.
Chen Ji, as the trusted aide of the Lin Family and indirectly loyal to King Heng, the role he played in all this was something Mo Yan could guess with her toes.
Upon hearing it was King Heng, Mo Qingze’s face grew extremely unsightly, his hand clenched into a fist on the table, "With such a mindset and such actions, he is destined not to achieve great things—he won’t be arrogant for much longer!"
Obviously, he was referring to King Heng.
Mo Yan looked suspiciously at her father, recalling his unusual behavior the day before and ventured to ask, "Father, do you know something?" Otherwise, why would he make such a resolute statement?
Mo Qingze’s face stiffened, then he waved his hand, "What could a mere scholar like me know? I’m just thinking that since the Crown Prince’s poison has been cured and he has the capability and the Emperor’s favor, no matter how capable King Heng is, he can’t stir up any trouble! If he keeps up his little tricks, he will reap what he sows eventually."
