Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2545 Defense
On the day when he first received the conditions for hostage exchange, Ying Baoyue asked Ji Jiashu to send a secret letter through the Ji family's intelligence network.

Although he had not yet agreed on the terms with Yun Zhongjun at that time, no matter how many people he could bring in the end, if Ji Mo was willing to come, he would definitely be the top priority.

Ji Qingyuan is Ji Mo's son after all.

only……

Ying Baoyue waved to Ji Jiashu, "Give it to me."

Looking at the other party's expression, Ying Baoyue already knew the answer.

If Ji Mo really wanted to save Ji Qingyuan, then there would be no need for her to send him a letter.

Ying Baoyue opened the letter, looked at Ji Jiashu who was standing there with a sad face, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Ji Jiashu's face turned pale and he shook his head, "Although I guessed it a long time ago, I still feel sad when I know the answer."

Ying Baoyue sighed in his heart and scanned the handwriting on the letter.

As expected, Ji Mo rejected the proposal to go to Xirong to rescue Ji Qingyuan.

"Since he chose to leave Nanchu with you, from that moment on, his safety is no longer my responsibility."

Ying Baoyue stared at Ji Mo's handwriting on the letter. It must be this sentence that made Ji Jiashu sad.

If Ji Mo said that it was his duty and he could not leave Nanchu, Ji Jiashu might not be so sad, but this sentence clearly showed that it was not that he didn't know or couldn't care, he just didn't want to care.

"Father...how could he do this?"

Ji Jiashu's voice was hoarse, "Isn't my eldest brother his biological child?"

He is clearly the strongest practitioner in the world, but he doesn't care about the life or death of his own son.

Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue with red eyes, "When Xu Bingqing was in trouble, Master Xu used up all his power for her."

With the example of Xu Canghai in the past, it is no wonder that Ji Jiashu felt disheartened.

As both are the national master and the father, Ji Mo was unwilling to even go to the scene in person, not to mention dissipating all his power.

"He is right," Ying Baoyue stared at the words on the letter, "After Qingyuan left Nanchu, his safety was indeed no longer within the scope of your father's responsibility."

Ji Jiashu didn't expect Ying Baoyue to defend his father, and looked at her in disbelief.

"My master made a promise with him that he would protect Qingyuan and Ange for one day if they stayed in Nanchu."

There was an extremely strict formation outside the courtyard where Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange lived, and Ji Mo also strictly forbade them to go out.

Lin Shubai felt that the children needed a stable environment to grow up in when they were young, so he sent them back to Nanchu.

But she also thought about what to do when her children grow up and want to go out and explore the world.

"Master said that if Qingyuan and Ange want to go out when they grow up, then she, as a mother, will ensure their safety. If she is no longer around by then..."

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, "Let me protect them."

Judging from her age, Lin Baoyue could have protected these two children for the rest of their lives.

But Lin Shubai didn't expect that she would die earlier.

Ji Mo was unwilling to save Ji Qingyuan. Judging from the agreement on raising the child back then, there was nothing wrong with it.

Because it was indeed she who brought Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange out of Nanchu.

If something really happened to Ji Qingyuan, even if she went to hell, Lin Shubai should settle the score with her instead of Ji Mo.

This is true from a moral point of view, but not from a human point of view.

To be honest, although Ying Baoyue didn't have much hope at first, she didn't expect Ji Mo to refuse so decisively.

Even if it is a puppy, you should develop feelings for it after raising it for more than ten years, let alone your own son.

Ji Mo was so cold-blooded in this matter that he was not like a human being. No wonder Ji Jiashu was so sad.

But is it really true that Ji Mo didn't show up just because he is so cold-blooded and inhumane?

Considering the previous border crisis and the fact that Ji Mo was firmly in control of Nan Chu and refused to send troops, Ying Baoyue began to feel suspicious.

"Jiashu, what has your father been busy with recently?"

Ying Baoyue raised her head and looked at Ji Jiashu, "Has there been any changes in the Ji family recently?"

"change?"

Ji Jiashu was stunned for a moment, "Nothing happened, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's not a big deal. My father just recently invited an old uncle who has been living in seclusion for many years to come to the mansion."

Ji Jiashu probably thought that this was just a family matter and spoke up a little embarrassedly.

Ying Baoyue was stunned.

It's not a big deal. But the Ji family is declining, and Ji Mo doesn't have many elders still alive. Ji Mo did this at this time...

An old man of this age has no fighting power, and can only play a huge role in one thing, that is, in the inheritance of the clan.

What does Ji Mo want to do? To appoint an heir for himself?
Does Ji Mo think that he will die soon?

"Baoyue, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Jiashu noticed Ying Baoyue's absent-mindedness and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing," Ying Baoyue came back to her senses, "your father just didn't come. I didn't expect him to come anyway."

The most important purpose of her writing to Ji Mo was to obtain a key piece of information.

Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange’s soul lamps are both in Ji Mo’s hands.

Before going to trade with Yun Zhongjun, she must know whether Ji Qingyuan is still alive.

Ying Baoyue stared at the word "live" at the end of the secret letter and stood up. "We will set off tomorrow."

……

……

Nanchu, the Imperial Master’s Mansion.

Ji Mo looked up at the two soul lamps on the desk, then leaned over to write something on the desk.

"Since you are so worried about the life and death of your children, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

A little red bird flew in through the window and landed on the pen holder next to him.

"Who said I was worried?" Ji Mo flipped through the information in his hand with a blank expression.

"If you are not worried, then why did you take these two lamps out of the secret room?"

The little red bird flashed red and turned into a young man in red, sitting leisurely on the desk. "Since the incident at the border, you put these two lamps on the desk, isn't it so that you can see them from time to time?"

"I just need to know whether they are dead or alive," Ji Mo glanced at him coldly, "If you are really worried, shouldn't you fly to Shanhaiguan now?"

"The Former Qin people should be scolding me for being cold-blooded right now."

"You're not wrong to scold me," Zhuque laughed, "You didn't even go when your son was kidnapped. Is there any father like you?"

"Chunhua Jun must be heartbroken now. Be careful that when you die of old age, you won't have a son to bury you."

"I don't need anyone to attend my funeral," Ji Mo said, and continued to look at the information in his hand without saying a word.

"You are really not afraid of retribution," Zhuque couldn't stand it anymore and poked him with his wings, "He is your own son."

He could vaguely feel that Ji Mo was on guard against someone.

But who is Ji Mo guarding against? Why didn’t he even save his own son?
"so what?"

Ji Mo raised his head, his eyes cold, "Why do you think Yun Zhongjun wanted to kidnap my son?"

"Lin Baoyue is a loyal girl. She will go no matter who she kidnaps."

Ji Mo spoke coldly.

"Kidnapped Meng Shi, kidnapped Li Mei Niang, kidnapped Qian Bo Fang... There is no difference."

But the person Yun Zhongjun kidnapped was Ji Qingyuan, who was actually of little use at the border.

Even if Ji Qingyuan has Lin Shubai's bloodline, Lin Shubai is already dead. Does Yun Zhongjun still expect his mother to avenge him?
Zhuque was stunned. "You mean..."

Is this wave aimed at Ji Mo?
Yun Zhongjun wants to lure Ji Mo to Xirong?

Zhuque was about to tell Ji Mo the information he had just obtained about Yun Zhongjun's identity, but he found that what Ji Mo was holding in his hand was the information related to the Jin family.

"Wait, you know who Yun Zhongjun is?"

"Who else could it be that asked for Mu Rongyin?"

Ji Mo said coldly, "It's not uncommon for the dead to come back to life."

But what is strange is that someone was able to overcome numerous obstacles, bring this dead man to Xirong, and allow him to break through to the heavenly level.

"Jin Yun's aptitude is not very good. He originally had no chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Rank in this lifetime."

Ji Mo had a blank expression on his face. "Ying Baoyue may think that if a person is resurrected from the dead and filled with grief and anger, his potential will increase greatly. Does she think that everyone is her?"

It's not that simple.

Even if his entire family is dead, a person who cannot become the Son of God will never become the Son of God.

Jin Yun is just a puppet.

He didn't guess it was Jin Yun before because Jin Yun didn't have the talent for cultivation.

"You mean, someone helped Jin Yun improve his realm?"

The Suzaku God hissed, "Who is it? So powerful?"

Ji Mo was silent for a moment, "Do you still remember the realm-breaking pill from Beihan Pavilion?"
