Chapter 165 Hidden Sharpness, I Learned It From You!
Putting aside Puyang Xuan's messy past, let's observe him for now. If he dares to have any disloyal thoughts in the future, we'll just cut him off. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Why hang yourself on one tree?
If what Puyang Xuanxuan said was a misunderstanding, then all that anger over the past few days would have been for nothing. Just thinking about it makes me depressed...
Does anger mean she cares about Puyang Xuan? Love arises without warning and deepens without end... When did this happen...?

After recuperating in Xiangcheng for a few days, Nangong Ji set off back to Nanyue. His wounds did not fester, and he did not have a high fever. All credit goes to Tieshan! When he returns, he must make sure Tieshan promotes this medical skill, especially on the battlefield, as it can greatly reduce the loss of soldiers. It just requires a lot of strong liquor, but the fact that Yunzhi Medical Hall is filled with the smell of liquor means it is effective. Since it is effective, spending a little is no problem!
Along the way, he found Tieshan more and more pleasing to the eye. "Tieshan, when we get back, you'll take over Tiesheng's position!"
Tieshan was overjoyed and was about to express his gratitude when he heard Nangong Ji continue, "The medical skills you learned in Yunzhi should also be carried forward in Nanyue, especially in the military camp, understand?"
If word gets out in Nanyue that the use of strong liquor for disinfection is spread, Yunzhi will hear about it sooner or later, and I wonder how they will react; I also wonder if using strong liquor was the right thing to do, but judging from the way Master is doing it now, it has been quite successful.
Tieshan suppressed his anxiety and loyally thanked Nangong Ji, "Yes, Master, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Xipan's mission this time, besides the ostensible act of making peace, was actually intended to intimidate Dongli with its glass. In just a few days, Dongli had already spread glass all over the capital, and the production speed was extremely fast. Sooner or later, it would spread throughout Dongli, and even throughout the Yunhai Continent...
When one approach failed, they tried another: they wanted their prince to marry the princess of Dongli. The emperor of Dongli was destined to have only sons, with seven sons and only two daughters, both of whom were already married. Xipan did not want to marry the daughter of a prince, so they proposed that Xipan's princess marry into Dongli.
It's obvious to everyone that this is Xipan's true intention: to plant a pawn in Dongli. Because of the previous failed negotiation, Dongli has no choice but to accept this time! Moreover, Xipan has chosen the Seventh Prince, Mo Yu, as the target!
Mo Ye took a break that day and invited Yang Jianwu and Puyang Xuan for a small gathering, telling them about the matter. After listening, Yang Jianwu immediately started to criticize him, "Brother Ye, you're such a failure! Those guys from Xipan want to marry the princess to Dongli, and they didn't even mention you! It's clear that you're not a good person in the eyes of outsiders..."
To outsiders, these words sounded like mockery, but Mo Ye understood the underlying meaning: "Hiding one's sharpness, I learned that from you!"
"Hey, learn something good from me! I'm someone who hates trouble and dislikes being controlled, which is why I choose to keep a low profile. You're different!"
Mo Ye drank a glass of wine, a self-deprecating smile on his face. "How is it different? I'm also afraid of trouble."
They then recounted the incident of Xipan's provocation as a story.
“A few days ago, Xipan proposed a martial arts competition. Moyu took Chenyu and Chenming with him to accept the challenge. However, Chenyu and Chenming suddenly fell ill, so I lent them Hongnan and Hongbei. As a result, the two of them used the fighting techniques and formations that Xiaowu'er taught them to achieve a great victory over Xipan! Father was so happy that he wanted to reward Moyu, and also wanted to reward Hongnan and Hongbei. Fortunately, I told Moyu in advance that they were newly trained generals under Moyu and had no combat achievements, so I declined the reward.”
"Oh~" Yang Jianwu slammed her chopsticks down. "So, Mo Yu is just benefiting from your success! If it had been you from the beginning, would Xi Pan have married the princess to you?"
Puyang Xuan chuckled to himself and shared a drink with Mo Ye. "If the Xipan envoy knew that Hongnan and Hongbei were subordinates of the Prince of Ning, there would be no point in Mo Yu's involvement."
Yang Jianwu nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
“If you can all think of it, then of course I can too. That’s why I told Mo Yu in advance that I was his subordinate.”
Puyang Xuan let out a long "Oh~", "Prince Ning, you've gone astray!"
"Brother Ye is right. Being too high-profile is not a good thing. It is better to conceal one's strength at the right time! Mo Yu does not lead an army. If you say that he is his subordinate, it is hard to associate him with the troops under Brother Ye's name!"
"Yes, those who understand me know that I am worried!"
Mo Ye remembered the hidden weapon Yang Jianwu had left behind last time, and took it out from his sleeve. "Oh right, Xiao Wu'er, this is the hidden weapon you threw at that masked man last time!"
Yang Jianwu's smile vanished when she saw the pistol. She hadn't wanted firearms to appear on the Cloud Sea Continent, but she was forced to use them in the emergency. First, she was afraid he would escape, and second, she was afraid he would attack again. Given the situation, if he had attacked a second wave of powerful internal energy palm strikes, he would have been dead!
"What do you want to ask?"
Mo Ye only wanted to return the hidden weapon to Yang Jianwu and did not intend to find out more information. Of course, if Yang Jianwu was willing to share, he would definitely listen!
"I will listen to whatever you say!"
