Chapter 17: This blind man is quite handsome, Nightfall Four Evils
The window on the fourth floor was open.
Han Fei was worried that Hong Liang would cause trouble and had been watching at the window.
Suddenly, he frowned, “Hong Liang’s identity has been exposed by him.”
“Oh? What did Hong Liang say that he guessed?”
Zhang Liang in the room suddenly became interested and walked towards the window.
It was really surprising. A blind man not only knew all the beauties in the world but could even recognize a princess from the deep palace.
“It’s him?”
Upon seeing Li Mo and Jing Ni, Zhang Liang was stunned.
Han Fei was surprised, “Do you know this person?”
Zhang Liang scratched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, “Let me ask you, how does a blind person write?”
Han Fei paused, turned his head to look at him, “Do you think you’re very humorous?”
Zhang Liang was dumbfounded, how did you steal my lines?
“Has Master Zhang Liang seen this person?”
Nongyu brought two cups of tea to Han Fei and Zhang Liang, curiously peeking downstairs. A figure with a cloth over their eyes caught her eye, looking particularly conspicuous downstairs.
Nongyu had seen Li Mo before. Her previous impression of him was that he was humble and extraordinarily talented. And extremely handsome. It’s just a pity he’s blind. But after the incident with Purple Orchid Pavilion’s name just now, Nongyu became even more curious about Li Mo.
What kind of person must he be to be so talented, even though blind, to witness those magnificent and unparalleled stories as if with his own eyes?
Zhang Liang took the tea and took a sip before saying, “Brother Wei Zhuang and I met him on the way here. At that time, he and the woman next to him were sitting on the stone steps by the street, writing quickly with a brush.”
“I don’t know if he was writing or painting, but the speed of his strokes was even faster than mine!”
Nongyu looked at the scene downstairs with disbelief in her eyes, “Is this true?”
Without knowing when Sister Zi also walked to the window, pushed open another window and looked down.
Her gaze fell directly on Li Mo, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
It was the first time she had seen Li Mo’s appearance, surprised that he was so handsome.
Especially the smile on his lips, seemed to show no sadness or pity for being blind.
Instead, it revealed a sense of confidence and cheerfulness.
There was a kind of magic that could infect others’ emotions.
Li Mo downstairs suddenly looked up, the black cloth covering his eyes accurately facing the two open windows.
“Is he looking at us?”
His actions startled Nongyu, who took two steps back directly.
Sister Zi comforted her, “Perhaps he heard us discussing, the ears of blind people are more sensitive.”
Although she said that, she was also anxious.
The voices of the few people talking were not loud, and this was the fourth floor, with noisy sounds downstairs.
How could he possibly hear!
This person seems to be becoming more and more interesting!
“Shouldn’t we talk about how to deal with Nightfall?”
“Did you call me back just to listen to the book?” Wei Zhuang glanced at the people gathered around the window, speaking calmly.
He never did meaningless things.
Just like they were gathered around the window scrutinizing the blind man.
Rather than speculate here, it would be better to call him up and ask directly.
“Little Zhuang is right, dealing with Nightfall is our priority.”
Han Fei withdrew his gaze from Li Mo and the surprised newt who had left, Hong Liang had returned.
His face was as long as an eggplant hit by frost.
Since there was no trouble, he naturally didn’t need to pay attention to what was happening downstairs.
He was just surprised that Li Mo could make his uncontrollable sister back down and not get angry.
This was something unprecedented!
Although the current Han Empire seemed peaceful on the surface, few knew about the hidden waves.
General Ji Wuye established his own private organization “Nightfall”, with great power in the court!
The Nightfall “Four Evil Generals” under his command have overshadowed the Han Empire in military, political, financial, and espionage aspects.
Bai Yifei, the lord of the Bloodstained Marquess, not only had profound and immeasurable strength himself, but also held significant power, commanding a hundred thousand troops in the northern border of the Han Empire, corroding the country through the army.
Shishang Feicuihu, adept in business, was wealthy in the Han Empire, corrupting the country through “wealth”.
Yuexia Suoyike a.k.a Moonlit Man in Straw, the head of Nightfall’s intelligence network, was extremely secretive. Ji Wuye relied on him to collect intelligence on the Han Empire and monitor any movements in the court and country.
The last one, the most difficult and troublesome to deal with.
She was the current Han Emperor’s first favorite concubine, the charming Lady Mingzhu who was just ranked on the list of beauties by Li Mo!
She gained the Han Emperor’s trust through her beauty, but in reality, she used the Emperor to gain power over the court and country, corrupting the nation through “politics”.
The Emperor’s trust in her even surpassed that of his own son Han Fei!
These four individuals each had their own strengths, posing a major internal threat to the Han Empire.
To overthrow General Ji Wuye, the best way was to first eliminate these four individuals, gradually weakening his influence!
