Chapter 166 The Secret Cannot Be Told!
Yang Jianwu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you envious of such high-end weapons?"
Mo Ye poured himself a cup. "If you're so envious, will you tell me how to make one?"
"of course not!"
Yang Jianwu picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth; it was so sweet.
"Because I don't know how to make it either. Luo Qi gave it to me because she was afraid I would miss her if we separated. I kept it as a memento, and it can also protect me in times of crisis!"
Mo Ye recognized the name. "Luo Qi? Is she Mo Yu's mother?"
"Yes, it's your Consort Qi."
"she is not……"
"She probably made preparations around the time we met in Beijing last time; that's when she gave me the pistol!"
Yang Jianwu suddenly realized that she had never paid attention to what had happened in the palace after Luo Qi left.
"Brother Ye, after Consort Qi left, did Emperor Dongli make any statement?"
"Father doesn't believe that Consort Qi would end her life in a fire. That charred, unrecognizable body must be a cover-up! He secretly sent people to search for her, but to no avail..."
Yang Jianwu kept her head down and ate her food, saying nothing more. Mo Ye was very shrewd; she didn't want him to see through her...
Looking at Yang Jianwu's guilty expression, Puyang Xuan thought of the woman named Luo Qi he had met before and had his own guess.
Mo Ye placed the pistol on the table and pushed it next to Yang Jianwu. "It's a keepsake from Consort Qi. Keep it safe."
"Hmm!" Yang Jianwu casually slipped the pistol into the bracelet. Mo Ye knew the bracelet's secret, so he wasn't surprised. Pu Yangxuan, seeing it for the first time, froze at the moment he was biting his chopsticks, his eyes practically popping out of his head...
"Sword Dance...you..."
Yang Jianwu put her index finger to her lips, "Shh—it's a secret, you can't tell!"
Puyang Xuan then looked at Mo Ye with a questioning gaze: Is it true?
Mo Ye was still somewhat resentful because Yang Jianwu had spoken frankly with him a few days ago. Now that he had finally found a little balance, he nodded smugly and even imitated Pu Yangxuan's usual annoying tone, "It's a secret, you can't tell anyone!"
"cut……"
Puyang Xuan now knows Yang Jianwu's food preferences better than his own; dishes she doesn't like will never appear on her plate. Seeing that Yang Jianwu's plate was empty, he placed another small dish on it, glancing intently at her sleeve. The way her clothes fluttered didn't seem like the kind of thing to hide a gun. Where was it hidden? This technique is on par with a master thief…
"Sword Dance, your gun has been in Mo Ye's hands for so many days, he must have seen it. Can you take it out and let me take a closer look?"
"Row!"
Yang Jianwu then took the pistol out of the bracelet and handed it to Puyang Xuan. This time, Puyang Xuan saw it clearly, his mouth forming a wide "O" shape. "Jianwu... your bracelet..."
Yang Jianwu nodded, "It's a good treasure!"
"It's too outrageous!"
Puyang Xuan's eyes gleamed with excitement. Was Jian Wu a goddess reincarnated?! Such extraordinary skills, coupled with a wondrous bracelet and a powerful weapon—any one of these would be remarkable, let alone all of them…
"Sword Dance, do you have any other secrets?" After saying that, she glanced at Mo Ye again. "You must know about the bracelet, right? That's so unfair! We were allies who fought against the enemy together! And you didn't even tell me!"
Mo Ye toasted Pu Yangxuan with a glass of wine, saying, "The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. The fewer people who know about it, the better. I believe you can understand!"
“That makes sense, that makes sense, it was my oversight!” Puyang Xuan put his arm around Mo Ye’s shoulder and then said to Yang Jianwu, “Jianwu, how many secrets do you have?”
Yang Jianwu rolled her eyes at Puyang Xuan, "If it's out in the open, can it still be called a secret?"
Puyang Xuan punished himself with a cup, tilted his head and leaned closer to Yang Jianwu, "I misspoke. Jianwu, when can you tell me more about your story?"
"Trying to trick me into telling you anything? You're still too green!"
"Hehe~ I wouldn't dare to ask you anything against my will, I just want to understand you..."
Mo Ye reached out and pulled Pu Yangxuan back to his seat. "Seeing you two talking like before, you must have made up. There will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future, so why the rush? It's rare for us to sit down and chat like this, so don't show off your love in front of me!"
Yang Jianwu blushed deeply at Mo Ye's words, "What's with the lovey-dovey talk?! He only explained what happened in the illusion; everything else is still unknown!"
Mo Ye didn't say anything more. He picked up a glass of wine and swallowed the bitterness alone, silently sending his blessings in his heart, wishing that his wishes would not be in vain for the rest of his life.
To ease Yang Jianwu's embarrassment, Puyang Xuan changed the subject, "Jianwu, what if a pistol were used on the battlefield?"
Yang Jianwu put down her chopsticks, looked at Puyang Xuan, then at Mo Ye, and asked, "When did you two become inseparable?"
"Cough cough!" Mo Ye choked on his words...
"Cough! Who's on the same side as him! I was just asking casually. The masked man next to Nangong Yan is clearly a master. Next time you see him, you can send him on his way!"
Yang Jianwu shook her head. "This can only be used by surprise. If it's a master, one shot might not be enough to take them down." She silently added to herself, "An AK47 would be more suitable. I hope I never have to use it. If one day the people I'm protecting are threatened, I wouldn't mind letting the weapon inside the red jade bracelet see the light of day!"
