After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 409: No Direct Intervention

Gong Ming's raised mouth straightened in an instant, "Brother, joking is joking, but if you take action, you will be dead."

Yingying snorted and stopped talking.

Ling Chuan also looked at them with disdain. They all had no tact. Unlike him, he would marry a wife and take her home to take care of her even if he had no memory.

There was a three-legged tripod in the small courtyard, with the children playing their own games and the adults on both sides chatting about their own things.

After Xia Mo replied to Liu Yu that it would be unreasonable not to beat up such trash, the few of them chatted about this matter for a few more words and then changed the subject.

"Have you taken the business that Shopkeeper Hong mentioned?"

"I accepted it, thanks to Master Ying and Brother Gong. If it weren't for them discussing with the other party, we wouldn't be able to do a lot of things well." Liu Yingying replied.

"Yes, we only know how to work. We get flustered when we encounter problems. Because we prepared the raw materials just right, we accidentally burned a pot and there was not enough. We could redo it, but there was no time. It takes time for malt to grow, so we didn't know what to do. Finally, they went to find Shopkeeper Hong and he took care of the matter."

Qi smiled again after she finished speaking, "I still remember how anxious we were at that time. We were afraid that this plan would fail. Fortunately, it was a false alarm."

"Me too. I'm ready to lose money." Liu Yu said seriously, with a look of pain in his eyes, and then he relaxed, as if he was imagining a scene in his mind where he almost lost money.

Suddenly remembering that he was a little money-grubber, Xia Mo chuckled and then said, "That's good, but doing business definitely involves both wealth and risk. In fact, I just happen to have something to talk to you about, and I want to ask your opinion."

The three looked at him for a few seconds, then their faces lit up. Liu Yu spoke with a rising tone, "Could it be that there is business again?"

"Uh... not really. You know the one that's almost finished? I heard it's a business building, right? It's mine. Brother Chuan and I plan to start a sugar-making business in the future."

After saying that, Xia Mo smiled at them embarrassedly again, while the other three were completely stunned by his words.

They could never have imagined that the boss that everyone in the village was curious about would actually be Lingchuan and Ze Ge'er!

Afraid that they would think he didn't consider them friends, Xia Mo tried to explain: "I didn't hide that from you on purpose. Although it was Brother Chuan who paid, he borrowed a lot of money from his friends, so it was uncertain whether it would succeed. Later, I accidentally met my uncle, and when he found out, he helped us, so it was possible for it to be so smooth."

"oh oh……"

The three of them listened and came to their senses. Although they were surprised, they knew it would be completely fine even if Ze Ge'er didn't tell them. After all, it was his own business. Just like them, it was impossible for them to tell everything about themselves to others.

Recalling what she had just heard, Liu Yingying asked Xia Mo hesitantly: "So what do you want to tell us?"

Seeing that they didn't take it seriously, Xia Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said bluntly: "When it is completed, we will try to make the first batch of candy to see if there is any room for improvement in the workshop, so we would like to ask for your help. The wages will be paid daily, and lunch will be provided..."

As soon as Xia Mo finished speaking, the three agreed without thinking, and some even said they didn't want any wages, just free meals.

There was no way Xia Mo would agree.

Let's put things in order. If we don't sort things out, it will be difficult to live in the future, so the wages must be paid.

Under Xia Mo's insistence, they stopped making excuses. After learning that they could go there to work if they wanted, they were overjoyed. They were excited until they left...

At night, after Xiao Anyu fell asleep.

Xia Mo and the other three sat down to discuss business.

Yingying and Gong Ming both thought it was a business matter, but their boss told them that it was just one of the reasons.

"So what's it about? So mysterious?" Yingying asked directly.

Gong Ming's eyes were also wandering over the two people's faces, waiting for them to speak.

"Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible."

Ling Chuan threw out eight big words, and the two were stunned and confused.

What is all this?

"Yingying, do you still remember what you told me before Mo'er and I left Qinghe County?" Ling Chuan asked Yingying.

Yingying understood immediately and frowned, "Boss, are you talking about Xuanyue Country?"

"Yes, it has something to do with him." Ling Chuan paused, then looked at him deeply and said, "Qiao Wenjin is not a boy, he is a man. He and Prince Qiao pretend to be on good terms with the eldest prince and follow his lead, just to hide their own ambitions. In this way, they can avoid the suspicion of the suspicious man and use the eldest prince as a sharp weapon in their hands to eliminate dissidents."

"!" Gong Ming was shocked.

Yingying's mouth twitched fiercely a few times, "So I am a boy pretending to be a man, while Qiao Wenjin is doing the opposite, a man pretending to be a boy? Just to make him feel that the palace is not a threat? No, where did you get the news, Boss?"

"What? Yingying, you are my brother!"

A voice even more trembling than Yingying's voice came out of Gong Ming's mouth.

"..."

Yingying's body stiffened and she turned her head to look at the stunned Gong Ming. She couldn't help but curse in her heart. She spoke too quickly and completely forgot that there was someone who didn't know the truth.

Ling Chuan looked like he couldn't be blamed for this, while Xia Mo couldn't hide his smile. He looked back and forth between the two of them and then deliberately teased Gong Ming, "What's the matter? Suddenly you feel a little moved after knowing that Yingying is your brother. Do you want to have sex with her?"

These words were like thunder rolling down their chest, which stunned the two people who were staring at each other. They both felt a chill and moved away from each other tacitly. Their eyes were full of disgust, and their whole bodies exuded the invisible aura of "Don't get close to me".

Gong Ming looked Yingying up and down for a while, "Yingying, it's rare to find a guy as tall as you. Although we once shared a bed together, it was because of the bad environment. I'm not the only one. I absolutely don't have any improper thoughts about you. I have someone in my heart, so don't think about me. It's fruitless."

Yingying turned her head and groaned, feeling disgusted. Then she sneered, "I remember Miss Liu talked to me last time. I guess she has a good impression of me? How about I come back another day..."

"Hey, goodbye! I was wrong, I was wrong. Brother Yingying, please have mercy on me, a lonely person. I finally met someone I like, please don't ruin me." Gong Ming was a man of insight and changed his words immediately, making faces and looking very servile.

The move went straight to the vital point, and Yingying gave him a look that said, "Look at you, you're useless."

Xia Mo laughed as he watched the two of them bickering. This seemed to be the first time that Gong Ming admitted that he had someone he liked.

However, the serious and dignified atmosphere was completely destroyed by the interruption of these two people.

"I don't want anyone other than us to know about this." Yingying said again.

Gong Ming quickly assured: "I swear to keep it a secret, unless you let it slip again."

"Pfft." Xia Mo lowered his head, supporting his forehead with his hands and trying his best to hide his exaggerated smile, but it didn't help much.

Yingying turned her eyes and glanced at him, suddenly feeling tired. After all, this matter was still the boss's fault. Couldn't she tell him alone? He was shocked.

"Let's talk business." Ling Chuan said.

If you keep talking nonsense like this, I guess no one will be able to sleep tonight.

Gong Ming was eager to skip this topic, so he listened attentively.

"So, boss, you want to interfere in this matter?" Yingying also returned to her serious expression.

Ling Chuan turned his sharp and deep gaze towards him. He knew that Ying Ying didn't want to be involved in these things, especially those related to King Qiao and his son.

"This matter is very complicated. Please listen to me first. If it is the Xuanyue Kingdom, I don't want to interfere, but the truth of the matter is far more serious than we have known before. If we stand idly by today, one day we will also be threatened and persecuted by them."

"Why do you say that?" Gong Ming frowned slightly, and even felt that this sounded a bit exaggerated.

"The eldest prince is not only the sword of Prince Qiao and his son, the sword of Xuanyue Kingdom, but also the sword of Cangwu Kingdom." Ling Chuan stared at him and said in a calm tone.

Gong Ming's expression changed instantly, and he exchanged a glance with Yingying before he asked in confusion, "Why is it related to Cangwu Kingdom?"

"That's right, Boss, are you sure? Cangwu is just a small island country, and it pays tribute to our dynasty every year."

Yingying also held a skeptical attitude.

Xia Mo said: "The strong prey on the weak. The reason they depend on each other is only because you are strong and he is weak. But when he becomes strong and you have been comfortable for too long and become weak and foolish, he will pounce on you without warning and bite your neck."

Xia Mo paused, looked at Yingying and Gong Ming, took a breath and continued: "Cangwu country occupies a small area and suffers from serious disasters all year round. Tell me, if such a country sees a piece of land that is very easy to take, will it not be tempted? Will it want to take it for itself?"

Of course, is there any need to think about it? It is a matter of benefit to the country and the people.

But this is all viewed from the perspective of the Cangwu Kingdom. If it were the other way around, as the party being spied on or about to be invaded, it would not be so wonderful.

Gong Ming thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ze, what you said makes sense. I also understand what the boss means, but this matter still sounds very mysterious. Even if we want to do something, we need specific clues."

"That's right. And you've basically offended everyone in the royal family. Even if you want to do it, there may not be anyone who will support you. Even if someone does, they will most likely abandon you after they defeat your opponent."

Yingying also poured cold water on him, but he was telling the truth. If you get involved, you will either die or get hurt. Those people are very selfish and none of them can be trusted.

"No, there is one person who can." Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes, and a faint light flashed in his half-closed black eyes. "Besides, when did I ever say that we should intervene in this matter head-on?"

"Who?" Yingying paused.

And what's the meaning of not intervening directly?

Gong Ming also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ling Chuan suspiciously.

"Idle King." Ling Chuan replied calmly.

Yingying and Gong Ming were both stunned. Was the boss really not kidding them?

"The Idle Prince? The sickly prince who is sickly and sickly? Boss, are you sure? With his physique, he might die in an eternal sleep one day." Gong Ming really wanted to hold his forehead with his hand.

Ling Chuan and Xia Mo knew that they would react like this. After all, Prince Xian had pretended very successfully in his previous life. If he hadn't exposed himself, everyone would probably continue to be kept in the dark by him.

Seeing that the boss and the master were still calm and one of them could even drink tea, Gong Ming and Yingying felt uncomfortable.

Wait, since Qiao Wenjin could endure humiliation and pretend to be a young man for more than ten years, would Prince Xian be able to do the same?

"He is pretending to be sick?" Thinking about it, Yingying had already asked the question.

Xia Mo smiled, "Yes, that guy doesn't trust anyone, but compared to those sons, he probably can't tolerate his own brothers even more."

Yingying and Gong Ming showed expressions of "as expected", and then were trapped by new questions. They asked Lingchuan: "Boss, how do you know that Prince Xian is reliable? And about the matter of Cangwu Kingdom, and Qiao Wenjin pretending to be a brother, you haven't told us how you knew it."

After a roundabout way, the question came back to the original point. Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Zhao Xier still remember?"

Gong Ming's eyes were slightly cold, "Of course I remember." That woman actually framed Miss Yingying. He was angry just thinking about it. If the boss hadn't told him to do so, he would have taught her a lesson long ago.

Ling Chuan glanced at him and said, "That woman's father is the eldest prince's man. In fact, he is Prince Qiao's confidant."

Of course, this was just Ling Chuan's nonsense, and he was not afraid of them becoming suspicious.

Xia Mo, who had been listening to their conversation, also added, "As for the information about Prince Xian pretending to be sick, it was when Brother Chuan and I sneaked into the yard and eavesdropped. The people who kidnapped Zhao Xier were his people."

"It's actually Prince Xian." Yingying whispered.

Xia Mo nodded, "It's him. As for the matter of Cangwu Country, they are secretive, so they hide it deeply, but my uncle mentioned a person in the letter he wrote to me before, his name is Jin Xuhua."

Gong Ming: "Jin Xuhua?"

Yingying: “Never heard of it.”

"It's normal that you didn't notice him. He has always been low-key and inconspicuous." Ling Chuan continued to throw out a surprising piece of news: "This person is the twelfth prince of Cangwu Kingdom. He has been secretly working with Xuanyue Kingdom and plans to infiltrate our Dayuan royal family and then gradually erode it. When the time is right, he can take down Dayuan in one fell swoop."

This sounds fantastic, but if the royal family is controlled by them and the court officials are also controlled, it is not impossible for the two countries to divide the abyss.

If this is true, then what the boss said about them being affected by it one day is not false.

Gong Ming has someone he loves and cares about, so he has been looking forward to his future life. Yingying, who bid farewell to the darkness of the past, also doesn't want to see darkness again, so both of them can't help but look serious, even though they still have many questions.

They looked towards Lingchuan across from them.

Gong Ming said: "What do you want to do, Boss? Even if you don't want to attack directly, you have to gain the trust of the idle king, right?"

Yingying also frowned and said, "And Prince Xian is still pretending to be sick. Once he reveals himself, will the superior not be wary of him? He certainly doesn't want his territory to be coveted by other countries. But after solving these problems, the next one to be eliminated will be the hiding Prince Xian, right?"
