Chapter 76: The Truth That Dispels the Fog

  。。。。

  Feynori's narrative presented the whole thing's cause and effect to Roskie and Chu Wang like a silken thread being slowly unwound.

  It turned out that the whole thing had to start with King Chu hearing about the appearance of a goddess in the folk who could cure all diseases, and at that time, King Chu was eager to get himself cured as soon as possible, so he started preparing to send someone to the Moon God Temple to invite Luosi Qi.

  As the new leader of the Night God Sect, Mo Ye was different from his predecessors who rarely left Black Witch Mountain and only hoped to maintain the sect's power in the surrounding area, indulging themselves in martial arts and magic. The first thing Mo Ye did after taking over as the leader of the Night God Sect was to take a series of measures to enable the sect to develop and grow in Chu State and all other vassal states.

  Mo Ye's first thought was to send someone to the capital of Chu State to give heavy gifts to Fei Wuji, so that he could speak well for the Night God Sect in front of the King of Chu. As long as he could become the national teacher of Chu State and the Night God Sect could become the state-protecting sect of Chu State, his ideals and ambitions would be half fulfilled.

  Originally, Fei Wuji had accepted so many good things from Mo Ye, and if he really wanted to persuade King Chu, the rumors of a goddess descending into the world would have spread among the people. The ministers who were eager to gain merit in front of King Chu hastily recommended Luo Siqi to him. In that era, whether it was the king or the common people, they all believed in this. Therefore, King Chu opened his golden mouth and entrusted the entire arrangement of sending an envoy to Lin Yue Peak to invite Luo Siqi to his most favored Fei Wuji.

  For Mo Ye, Fei Wuji was someone who took money but didn't deliver, and in any era, such people would come to no good end. So he let Fei Wuji think of a solution, and Fei Wuji also knew that this matter was not easy to handle. When his subordinates brought back Wu Xi's body, the ice had already melted, but Wu Xi's corpse was still stiff, forcing Fei Wuji to believe the scene described by his subordinates.

  Fei Wuji thought and thought, and finally came up with a plan with Mo Ye. When Luosiqi learned from Hansheng that the King of Chu was going to summon her, the Grand Priest Chenxing would suddenly be attacked at Moon Star Lake.

  Luoshi was puzzled at the time, how could the assassin grasp the timing so well? Even if Lin Yuefeng had a traitor, no matter how powerful the traitor was, he couldn't control the arrival time of the Chu king's envoy!

  She now understood everything when things were said from Fei Wuji's mouth, it was clear that the time of the envoy's arrival and the time of letting Han Yue go to find her were both controlled by Fei Wuji and Mo Ye Ren, otherwise, as soon as Han Yue arrived at Luosi Qi's place, the black-clothed man would not have launched an immediate attack.

  Of course, that day, Fei Wuji and Mo Ye did not completely achieve their goal. Luosi Qi still came to Chu Du, so Mo Ye didn't discuss with Fei Wuji privately and sent someone to launch a second attack when Luosi Qi was treating the king of Chu's illness.

  He didn't know that his attack had just saved the King of Chu from Luo Siqi's hands, he only got a terrifying message that one of his powerful subordinates was slapped out of the door by Luo Siqi with a single palm. This information made him feel that Luo Siqi's ability was not something he could directly confront, and also triggered Fei Wujin's strong dissatisfaction with him.

  Mo Ye didn't care about Fei Wuji's feelings at all. He had long been prepared for Fei Wuji's impending dissatisfaction and secretly ordered someone to put a slow-acting poison in Fei Wuji's food and drink. When Fei Wuji was furious with Mo Ye's arbitrary actions, he was instead forced to participate in this rebellion.

  Fei Wuji had already become tearful and runny-nosed by this point, his appearance was pitiful. He said to the King of Chu: "Your Majesty, I am truly helpless! Please spare my life!"

  The King of Chu snorted and didn't say a word, but he seemed to have calmed down from his previous rage. This ignited Fei Wuji's hope for survival, and he looked at Luo Siqi with pleading eyes, like a very pitiful dog.

  Luosiqi no longer cares about him at all, she puts all her attention on Mo Ye, and with complicated emotions, she says to Mo Ye: "I really don't want this person to be you, but it's actually you." She pauses for a moment, asking him: "Do you have anything else to say?" After finishing speaking, she becomes fully alert, staring tightly at the hand holding the sword.

  Mo Ye smiled wryly and suddenly threw the sword in his hand to the ground, saying to Luosi Qi: "I'm not your opponent, but can you tell me why you appeared here?" The soldiers outside the bedroom had already rushed in at this time. Because there were already enough people in the bedroom, Chu Wang made a gesture for them to stop at the door. In his opinion, with Luosi Qi present and Mo Ye abandoning his sword, the situation was now completely under control. He also wanted to know how Luosi Qi ended up here.

  Lucy nodded and began to talk about her own affairs.

  Actually, when Luo Siqi first came as a candidate, she was shocked by Mo Ye's ability. The ability to be like daylight in the dark, although it can't be compared with other people's special abilities, but what made Luo Siqi take notice is that Mo Ye, the master of the Night God Sect who came to assassinate Chu Wang, is also a legendary figure who is very terrifying in the black night.

  Rothschild remembered reading a sentence in a book in modern times: "If there are many geniuses, then they are not considered geniuses! ... This sentence had a deep impression on Rothschild at the time. After seeing Mo Ye's ability, Rothschild had a question in her heart: "Will two people like this really appear at the same time in this era?" Of course, there can be Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, and Mo Ye's plan to personally infiltrate was indeed too poisonous. No one would have thought that the master of the Night God Sect would put aside his dignity and do such a thing instead of openly assassinating him.

  So at that time, Luo Siqi also had only a slight unease in her heart, this unease could be called the sixth sense, although there was a reaction but no evidence.

  So day after day passed, and Luosiqi thought that Mo Jie's possibility of being Moye was too low, so she valued his own abilities even more. If he really was the Zhuge Liang who could counter Zhou Yu, then what reason did she have to not focus on training him to let him contribute in her battle against Moye?

  Mo Ye suddenly came to find her before the expedition and brought a royal decree saying that she had to stay behind to protect King Chu. This matter once again stirred up the unease that Luo Siqi had almost forgotten, and this time it was even more intense. It wasn't the same kind of unease as before, and she wouldn't have minded Mo Ye staying behind either. After all, when he was still called Moxi, he was really the most suitable person to counter Mo Ye aside from her. His ambition and self-interest were also understandable, making him a perfect example of a ruthless and cunning traitor who would betray others for wealth and glory.

  Actually, what made Luosiqi truly certain that she had to come back and very suspicious of Capricorn was the scene she saw from historical records after returning to modern times. She had seen too many scenes of counterattacks on TV before.

  Whether it's a traitor seeking glory or an enemy mole who has been lurking for a long time, they all bring great harm to the person being betrayed.

  She was puzzled by what she saw in the historical records, how King Chu was assassinated by Mo Ye. Logically speaking, after her disappearance, King Chu should have been even more careful and increased his guards! As a result, Luosiqi, who had advanced ideas for over 2,000 years, finally made a clever calculation. Based on various omens, she inferred that the most reasonable and easiest way to achieve the assassination recorded in history was to hide among King Chu's inner circle, become one of his most trusted people, and then suddenly strike him with a fatal blow, taking advantage of the chaos to escape!

  Such a person could be Mo Jie or Fei Wuji. When Luo Siqi sneaked back into the city and learned that Fei Wuji had brought thirty highly skilled guards to protect King Chu, he again hoped that Mo Jie was indeed innocent, and Muye was ambushing among these thirty guards.

  There is no record in the historical records of what obstacles Mo Ye encountered when assassinating the King of Chu. If Mo Jie, relying on his strength, couldn't defeat Mo Ye, he should have at least created a lot of trouble for him!

  So the final result is that Capricorn is indeed Mo Ye, and he colluded with Fei Wuji to rebel, even if Fei Wuji was really forced by Mo Ye's poisoning as he said.

  Simayi also returned with Luosiqi, which is why so many soldiers were able to be organized outside so quickly. Luosiqi did not inform the King of Chu about this beforehand because she was not certain until the very end whether Moxie was innocent or not, and she was afraid that if the king found out, his behavior would change and the rebellion would not be triggered.

  Mo Ye let out a sigh after listening to Luo Siqi's words, because Luo Siqi had omitted the part about returning to modern times and seeing the historical records in her account, only mentioning other reasons for suspecting him. This made Mo Ye feel that Luo Siqi was not just strong on the surface, but also incredibly wise, able to infer his plans from such a small detail.

  Mo Ye spread his hands and said helplessly, "You not only guessed that I might be Mo Ye, but also hid among the servant girls who were delivering food to King Chu in order to avoid being discovered. I was too caught up in my own plan, thinking that everything, including the fake messenger soldier used for testing, was perfect. But I neglected those servant girls because I didn't arrange any assassins among them, so I didn't pay attention to their movements. If only I had investigated carefully earlier, I wouldn't be in this predicament now!" Luo Siqi couldn't help but sincerely praise him when he mentioned the messenger soldier who had come in earlier to report the fire in the palace: "Your plan is indeed perfect! You sent someone to set a fire in the palace, which not only attracted the guards inside the palace to weaken the power that was about to protect King Chu, but also allowed you to test the strength of King Chu's protection after I left. Moreover, I think you might have thought that if the fake messenger soldier succeeded, you and Fei Wuji wouldn't need to reveal your identities again, and maybe you would even take advantage of the situation to do something more beneficial for yourselves!" Mo Ye listened to her finish speaking and then knelt down, saying as he kneeled: "You are truly an all-powerful goddess. I can only kneel down and ask for your forgiveness!"
