As a toy, Mo Jing Yu was, without a doubt, up to par.

Nai Man Jin was always very annoyed by the relationships held between the wives and concubines, but they were all inherited from the previous chief- it was not like he could have them returned and given back to a dead person. Fortunately, a tent could be made to let them argue among themselves. When Mo Jing Yu first arrived and lived with him, to avoid trouble, the other person would go out very little. Even if they were to run across each other by accident it would be taken care of properly, as to avoid leading into being the source of trouble, and causing him to be irritated.

But what truly made Nai Man Jin surprised was Mo Jing Yu’s talent.

The person would obviously make people feel like they were some sort of surreal, good-looking toy with one look. But in truth, Mo Jing Yu did not merely learn those supposed techniques of seduction, but also understood much about planting and defence organization, and helped him quite a bit in many schemes, securing his position even more.

The underestimation from the beginning, little by little, turned into thinking highly of him. Then, Nai Man Jin finally had him drawn into inside the military tent, and let him stand by his own side.

Towards this kind of result, Mo Jing Yu felt it was within reason, but also outside of expectations.

He was surprised by Nai Man Jin’s trust, but also felt matters had been unduly smooth, making him a bit anxious[1]. Right now, every part of Sahada had a trace of his handiwork. Even those wives and concubines that targeted him, in the very end, turned extremely courteous towards him.

Mo Jing Yu already had his own individual tent now. He originally lived together with Nai Man Jin, but ever since he managed to grow food grains with enough satiety, the other person parted out a plot of land for him. After all, to leave a person who cannot be touched in their tent could only be considered as an ornament that won’t smile was all.

That time when Nai Man Jin was drunk and was about to force himself onto him, Mo Jing Yu turned angry and just about almost crippled him. The other person had even teased him, saying that he finally turned from a wolf cub into a splendid wolf that knew to use his own long teeth to rip into the other person.

For the time being, the grains were plentiful enough. He’ll just take it as providing for an idle person…… No, an able person was enough.

The current Sahada had already tacitly recognized him as a ‘military adviser’.

Not even half a year in, Sahada once again was about to start war. Previously, it would be because rations were not enough, where one could not help but go on expeditions to obtain food to go through the winter; now, it was because Zhou(c.) felt the Sahada that was growing stronger day by day would become a threat, one where they couldn’t not snuff out this kind of seedling while it was still in the cradle.

Mo Jing Yu knew the one who could not hold back was Mo Qi in the shadows.

He had already not come in contact with the other person for a very long time. All the carrier pigeons that served to send information had been parted to those children early on as rations, and the hidden guards that came here all died on this stretch of grassland, becoming a mound of soil. Contrary to Mo Qi’s plans, the other person completely did not imagine that there would come a day when the Mo family member that had been brainwashed since young would betray him, and even betray the entire Zhou.

There were many times where he’d secretly go over the hills, and look into the distance in Zhou’s direction.

That was the place where a’Li’s bones were buried.

Other than the time he was forced to look by Mo Qi, Mo Jing Yu had no longer been able to have another look at Mo Li after that. Even where he had been thrown, he did not know. The guards that have been taken care of would only be thrown to the back mountains, left to wild beasts and birds as food. He only secretly took the jade pendant that belonged to Mo Li from the other person’s waist —— that was the jade pendant that Mo Jing Yu had personally carved out for him. On top of it, the characters ‘Yu’ and ‘Li’ were inscribed.

The skewed writing back from when he was young had long been worn off by the fingers to the point its original appearance could not be seen clearly any longer- hazy, just like Mo Li’s appearance in his memories, unable to remember the youth of that time clearly, the momentary slim and graceful feeling that the dull yet lucid eyes gave him, and unable to remember what the other person exactly looked like any longer.

Right now, he had finally matured into an upstanding and dauntless[2] man, with the ability to take Mo Li and ‘fly high, high’ away.

So, a’Li, do you see it now?

Nai Man Jin had someone sent to invite him inside the tent. When the curtains were raised, all the generals were just about to leave outside. When they saw him, they cupped their hands, “Mister Mo.”

They said that when the Central Plains people saw someone they admired, they would address them as such.

Mo Jing Yu also let them do as they please. Only that, ever since he had his own position, he also gradually lost his smile. Never again did he force himself to smile towards anyone, and furthermore did not reveal a sliver of a smile for Nai Man Jin any longer.

Earlier on, the other person would still consider himself as a plaything and always pinched his face and asked him if the more he grew up the more uncute he would get. Later on when he truly realized his importance, his mouth would no longer unthinkably say those insulting words.

Only, he would be touchy towards him as always. When there were no people, he would be improper with him.

He knew that the other person still held a kind of likeability towards him like what one would have for their own possession. What still cannot be obtained would only furthermore make people feel more fond of it[3]. The Mo Jing Yu that was familiar with the specifics had never once taken the other person’s words of like seriously. So what if the other person liked him- it was not as though he could have a’Li returned to him.

Nai Man Jin asked him if this time’s campaign had a need to be avoided.

How could he- it was just what he wanted.

The heart followed along with the feeling of excitement, fiercely beating. With great effort, he controlled himself, and not let himself be too obvious. Mo Jing Yu pretended to hesitate for a moment, then shook his head, “I’ll obey all that Khan has arranged. I only want Mo Qi’s life.”

Now that there was an opportunity to take the head atop of Mo Qi, he naturally could not ask for more. Compared to letting the other person have sudden death a bit later on, he’d rather much more hope to be able to have Mo Li’s suffering added onto the other person’s body bit by bit, and properly let Mo Qi experience those feelings of despair he had at the time.

Nai Man Jin held up his hand and fell a kiss upon it. The pair of eyes that normally was fierce to the point of making people shiver was full of affection, the green eyes were like ripples, stirring up people’s heartstrings, “If I(emp.) promise to offer up Mo Qi’s head, would you be willing, with all your heart, to enjoy this country together with Me?”

“If there were no you, there would also be no the present-day Sahada.” After a pause, Nai Man Jin’s features grew increasingly more softer, “I like you. Mo Jing Yu, what I said is all true.”

Mo Jing Yu could not tell whether the other person was saying lies or if it was sincere, nor could he tell whether Nai Man Jin’s eyes were filled with more exploitation or if it was truly more liking. But for him, this was not important, “Alright. Wait until I have Mo Qi tortured to death, then I will willingly with my heart submit to you. But there is a condition- before that, you must not force me.”

The other person laughed, and pulled him in his own embrace, “I like you. Naturally, I hope you would be happy as well. Only that, I have already waited too long. I hope you won’t make me disappointed.”

That’s right, he had waited much too long as well.

Ever since that time, this was the first time Mo Jing Yu had smiled towards him. When he saw Nai Man Jin’s surprise, his heart could not help but sneer- he did not know whether it was to sneer at himself that had those methods of seduction that the Mo family taught engraved into his own bones, or if it was to sneer at the Sahada’s head that had been so easily shocked by his smile.

Zhou and Sahada had officially started battle. Through Mo Jing Yu’s divulged information, they soon broke through the border’s defence line, and went straight south, up until they discovered that Zhou modified their defence organization, then both sides started to enter a deadlock.

Perhaps Mo Qi would have never even thought, even in a dream, that the preparations that he himself arranged to seize the position(throne) would be seen by Mo Jing Yu, and even noted down, used as a weapon to take him down.
