Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 131 Shocking Conspiracy

After saying that, Mo Yuming looked up at Pu Yazhu and said:

"Since you insist, young lady, we will not force you to do so! We will take our leave now!"

After saying that, Mo Yuming turned around and was about to leave immediately.

As Xiaoxiao turned to leave, she suddenly took out several copper shells from her bosom, wrapped them in a silk handkerchief, and handed them to Yun'er, asking Yun'er to give them to Pu Yazhu, saying:

"We didn't bring much silver with us when we left. We only have these few copper coins left. Let's use them to buy you some food and supplies!"

After saying that, he followed Mo Yuming out of the alley.

After watching Mo Yuming and the other two leave the alley, Park Ya-joo led the two children beside her to collect the items on the wooden platform and then returned to the dilapidated wooden house.

On the way back, all three of them were sullen.

Mo Yuming walked forward without saying a word, with Xiao Xiao and Yun'er following closely behind.

They traveled in silence and soon returned to the hotel.

Xiao Xiao and Yun'er also quietly moved into the small courtyard behind the restaurant with Mo Yuming.

The courtyard has several guest rooms, and it wouldn't cause any problems for Xiaoxiao and Yun'er to stay there.

After entering the room, Yun'er stayed in the living room, hiding behind the window and keeping a close watch on the outside to avoid being overheard.

Xiao Xiao followed Mo Yuming into Mo Yuming's study, the most secluded room in the courtyard.

After the two entered, Mo Yuming closed all the doors and windows. Then, after sitting down at the desk, he said to Huang Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression:

"Does it need to be so mysterious? There's absolutely no one suspicious around there, and our conversation won't be discovered by anyone."

Besides, who would care about those few defenseless kids? I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill!

"Does Brother Ming know about the 'Feather Palace'?"

"I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with them?"

This is Shangyuan City, deep in the Monster Mountain Range, at least a hundred thousand miles away from them. Could they possibly have such great abilities that they know what we're up to?

"Brother Ming, do you know what the consequences are of being labeled a criminal by the Feather Emperor Palace?"

"What is it?"

"Only the Feather Emperor Palace in the entire Tianxuan Continent can determine a certain race or family as a sinful race. Anyone who is designated as a sinful race by the Feather Emperor Palace must be executed, whether they are adults or children."

Even more cruelly, anyone related by marriage to a criminal family was also targeted;

Those who have close ties with criminals or have helped criminals escape will be implicated and convicted.

Those who marry into a criminal family will have their entire family (up to nine generations) punished; those who have close ties with a criminal family will have their entire family (up to three generations) punished; and those who help a criminal family member escape will be killed without mercy!

"What kind of place is this Feather Emperor Palace that allows them to act so arbitrarily? Do they have no humanity left? This is utterly disregard for human life!"

Mo Yuming couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Mingdi, don't get excited, keep your voice down, lest someone overhears us!"

Xiao Xiao quickly tried to persuade him.

"Does the Feather Emperor Palace have such great power? I heard it is located deep in the mountains at the easternmost part of Yingzhou."

However, Xiliang is located on the very edge of Yuzhou. The Liang Kingdom and the Feather Emperor's Palace are arguably the two most distant places on the entire Tianxuan Continent. How could a weak nation like Xiliang have offended the Feather Emperor's Palace? Why would the Xiliang Kingdom willingly become an accomplice of the Feather Emperor's Palace to exterminate its own people?

"It's not just Liang Kingdom sending troops to hunt them down; all the nations of the entire Tianxuan Continent must obey the orders of the Feather Emperor Palace to hunt them down!"

"Isn't this utterly immoral? Why isn't anyone objecting?"

"They are birds of a feather; the dynasty and the Feather Palace are intertwined interest groups."

"We would never risk enmity over a small race!"

"How could they do this to innocent children?"

Where is justice?! No, I must save these children! I refuse to believe they can interfere with my affairs!

“These children are innocent, but Mingdi, before you saved them, did you ever think about how they escaped to our place?”

"Didn't Park Ah-joo say that they and other members of their clan escaped here together, relying on each other for survival?"

Were all those tribesmen killed in an attempt to protect them?

Now only a few children are left... Could it be that Park Ya-joo lied?

Do they have other tribesmen?

Indeed, how could a group of weak children have come to Shangyuan City? Judging from the situation, they seem to have been living there for some time. If no one was secretly helping them, those children would probably have starved to death long ago.

But why would she lie? We're not bad people; we just wanted to help them.

Mo Yuming noticed some problems after a gentle reminder, but he still couldn't understand why Park Ya-joo was unwilling to accept their help. Was there really a hidden reason?

“I don’t know about other things, but do you know how far the western border of Liang Kingdom is from here?”

I once heard that even if we rode our fastest Red Cloud Horse day and night without stopping, it would still take a year to travel from the western border of Liang to the capital of Long Kingdom.

It would take another two or three months to travel from the capital of Long Kingdom to Shangyuan City. In other words, it would take at least a year for a person to travel on horseback from the western border of Liang to the Monster Mountain Range.

How did this group of vulnerable children manage to travel thousands of miles to get here?

What twists and turns did it go through in the middle?

Furthermore, they were pursued all the way from Liang to Long. How did they manage to evade their pursuers and escape to this place?

Since they are considered a criminal clan by the Feather Emperor Palace, the strong and powerful ones have already been killed along the way. Why leave these weak ones alone and allow them to survive in Shangyuan City for so long?

Is it really because we've become independent and are no longer under their control that they dare not come here to kill us?

Xiaoxiao continued with her analysis.

"Is this a conspiracy? Is someone deliberately leaving a group of children here, just waiting for us to rescue them, and then using that as a pretext to accuse us of being accomplices of a criminal race?"

How can they legitimately gather the military forces of various countries to attack us?

Let us become the enemy of all nations across the entire Tianxuan Continent!

Mo Yuming was somewhat surprised by this conclusion. This was far too vicious! To want to annihilate the entire Great Xia Empire! To want to slaughter a million people in a city! Could this be Wu Ji's conspiracy?

Mo Yuming felt a chill run down his spine; what a vicious method.

"But if we don't help those children, will they let us go? Since those children have been in Uehara City for so long, will they just remain indifferent and not take any further action?"

Mo Yuming suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if a pair of vicious eyes were staring intently at him from some dark corner, and a pair of invisible claws were ready to attack him at any moment.

"Since the outcome will be the same whether we save them or not, let's see who has the last laugh."
