A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 108: Entering Mofu at night

Views:

The backyard of the Mo Mansion was a large garden, with many rare flowers and plants planted in it. Although it was difficult to see clearly due to the dark sky, the strong fragrance of the flowers was still so refreshing that Han Li couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Hey!" Han Li suddenly let out a soft cry. Although the fragrance of these flowers was strong and tangy, he could still distinguish the familiar fragrance of herbs.

"Someone is planting herbs here." Han Li chuckled. This extremely familiar smell made him very curious about the person who planted it. It seemed that someone in the Mo residence had inherited Doctor Mo's medical skills.

Han Li didn't dare to delay any longer, so he followed the path in the garden and slowly dived to the place where there were still lights.

Along the way, Han Li discovered several secret sentries that were well hidden. If he hadn't been aware of others, it would have been difficult to spot them. It seems that the security of the Mo residence is very tight.

But since he had seen through it, it was a breeze for him to bypass these guard posts.

Han Li stopped in front of a small two-story building.

The reason why he chose this place is that he just found that the security of this building is much stricter than other places, and there are twenty or thirty people guarding the vicinity.

Han Li saw that the second floor of the small building was still brightly lit, and knew that there should be some important people from the Mo family who hadn't fallen asleep, so it was a good time for him to check it out.

So, taking advantage of the night, his figure was as fast as lightning, and in a blink of an eye, he quickly reached the downstairs, and then with his feet hard, he turned up the second floor lightly. The whole process was completed in an instant, and those surrounding people The guard sentry guards did not notice Han Li's invasion at all.

Han Li stood close to the wall of the room on the second floor, hiding his body in the shadows, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the situation in the room.

With his superhuman sense of hearing, Han Li heard a woman talking in the room. It seemed that there was not only one person in the room.

"The secret rudder of Changping town sent seven thousand three hundred taels of silver."

"The secret rudder of Luogu Town, give away five thousand eight hundred taels of silver."

"The secret rudder of Lanyue Town, give away 15,000 taels of silver."

"Five collar town..."

"These are the money sent by the dark rudders last month, which is basically more than a quarter less than at this time in previous years."

A pleasant female voice came into Han Li's ears. The voice was clear and energetic, and it sounded like a young daughter's family, but her last sentence was full of dissatisfaction.

"Mother, the people in charge of these secret rudders are getting more and more courageous! The money they send is getting less and less every month." The girl said angrily.

"I see, I know it!" Another deep and magnetic female voice sounded.

"Could it be one of the three beauties of the Mo family?" Han Li cheered up, feeling that he was lucky, and the other person in the room seemed to be one of Dr. Mo's wives.

"You always say you know what to do, can't you think of some ways to rectify it? If this continues, those dark rudders will ignore our chief rudder sooner or later!" the young girl complained.

"I don't have a good solution now! You must know that the power of the dark rudder has always been controlled by you, Wu Niang! The rest of the Mo family can't get involved!" The woman replied helplessly.

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, the young girl's unwilling voice came again: "Mom, is it true that Wu Niang has been occupying the power of those dark rudders? You know, since Uncle Ma and the others broke up a few years ago, plus other After being suppressed by the forces, the power of the dark rudder has become the biggest pillar of our Jingjiao Society. Since you are the acting head of the Jingjiao Society, mother, then of course this biggest force should be controlled by you!"

"That's a good thing to say. But when your father left, it was your fifth mother who handed over the secret rudder after all. I really have no excuse to intervene. And now your fifth mother is giving away most of the hidden rudder's profit every month. I handed it over to the chief rudder, so I am even more embarrassed to ask!" The woman said lightly.

"But our Jingjiao Society is already very weak. If we don't integrate our forces, how can we hope to make a comeback? Dad is really! Since you have left the matter of the Jingjiao Society to your mother, why do you still have to deal with it? The rudder will be handed over to Wu Niang!" The young girl's voice was full of resentment, obviously very dissatisfied with the father she was talking about.

"Don't talk nonsense! When your father did this, he naturally has deep meaning. How could you, a child, make random comments!" The woman severely reprimanded the girl.

"Understood, can't I admit my mistake? It seems that mother is really infatuated with father!" The girl seemed to be used to this, and she didn't care, but she started to make fun of her mother.

"You child..." The woman doted on this girl so much that she could only smile bitterly and remain silent.

At this time, Han Li was sure that the woman in the house was the Yan family he was looking for, and the girl should be the Mo Caihuan he had with Dr. Mo. It seemed that he was really lucky to find the right place right away.

Han Li reached out his hand to touch the personal letter and the token hidden next to his body, and was about to show up to meet the two of them.

"Mother, that impostor is really disgusting! When I met me in the back garden today, he even showed his gallantry to me, tried his best to show off his literary talents, and acted as if he thought he was all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. It's really annoying!" The girl suddenly acted like a baby He said something like that, which surprised Han Li, and made the original step retracted unconsciously.

"Be more polite to that surnamed Wu, after all, he is now your future brother-in-law in name, don't let him see the flaws!" Yan Shi became serious when he heard the words, and said a little sternly.

"Cough! Eldest sister has been haunted by this person all day long, and she still pretends to be attracted to him. It's really embarrassing for elder sister! If it were me, I would have chopped him down with a sword." The girl sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although we know that the person surnamed Wu is a fake, and we have found out his details, in order to buy more time, we can only sacrifice your eldest sister's reputation and delay with this person's hypocrisy. After all The enemy is too powerful, if they know that they can't take us by chance, they may launch a strong attack immediately, and we have no chance of winning!" Yan's voice was full of tiredness, and his words revealed the taste of mental and physical exhaustion.
