Chapter 300: Chapter 52 Negotiation between Two Sides in Danger [8000 words] _4 Chapter 300: Chapter 52 Negotiation between Two Sides in Danger [8000 words] _4 Dealing with a traitor I hired triggered a forceful confrontation with two others!

In just one day, four members of Supreme Mountain were arrested in Yuezhou.

Although all of them were young disciples with low levels of cultivation, they were falsely accused and branded as “assassins”.

The interrogations were completed; all physical evidence and witness statements were obtained. The participants confessed and signed their statements, sealing them with blood.

In no time, this became an irrefutable case.

This infuriated Mo Yuantu intensely.

Such a minor issue, such a petty character, is it worth making such a big fuss over?

Frankly, in other places, in other countries, or even other places in the Qin country, hardly anyone would risk offending Supreme Mountain over such trifling matters and insignificant characters!

Mo Yuanqing, years ago, had beheaded an impudent officer in front of a high official in the Chu Country’s Capital City.

After revealing his identity, he walked off without further ado.

Subsequently, he merely compensated with some silver coins.

Such similar incidents also took place in other parts of the Great Qin.

I am a member of Supreme Mountain!

However, here in Yuezhou, I faced resistance beyond expectation. Moreover, Fei Xinyu and Wu Tiejun seemed utterly unfazed.

They even dared to accuse Supreme Mountain of rebellion.

Above all, they did not fear the potential rebellion by Supreme Mountain.

However, the most awkward part for Mo Yuantu now was: he genuinely dared not fight back head-on!

Supreme Mountain has nine peaks, but Mo Yuantu is just the son of the head of the fourth peak. And he’s not even the only son.

He merely enjoys a high status within the fourth peak because of his father. In terms of cultivation, he’s not within the top ranks; in terms of position, he’s relatively low-ranking.

How could he represent the entire Supreme Mountain?

It was clear now: Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu dared to risk it all: “Go ahead and rebel, I’ll bear the responsibility for the crimes occasioned.”

Absurdly… these two men could bear the consequences!

Because behind these two men were the powerful Wu and Fei families of the Great Qin!

“What should we do?”

“No matter what we do, we have to retrieve our people first.”

“But without resolving the matter regarding the traitor, Fei Xinyu and Wu Tiejun won’t let it go.”

“Send a few people from Liu Mengjiang’s place to replace them. You need me to teach you this?”

“Okay…”

“Ah, I thought it was a minor issue, who would have anticipated such a storm caused by a single traitor.”

“These two reckless young men, really…”

As they were discussing, Mo Yuanqing suddenly looked suspiciously at his older brother, “Brother, you haven’t really been involved in some matters, have you?”

Mo Yuantu narrowed his eyes and replied flatly, “We are Supreme Mountain! Why would we stoop to involve ourselves in such affairs?”

Mo Yuanqing nodded.

That was a valid point.

The esteem of Supreme Mountain stands transcendent. Participating in worldly conflicts would only debase it.

My brother wouldn’t be that foolish.

“However, the younger generation of the Great Qin does need some discipline.”

“Hehe… let’s focus on saving our men first.”

…

That night.

The Mo brothers personally went to the military camp to meet Fei Xinyu and Wu Tiejun.

The two didn’t dilly-dally; they received them personally with warm hospitality.

“I’m really sorry for troubling Master Mo with such a minor issue.” Wu Tiejun apologized.

“Supreme Mountain acting high and mighty, huh? I haven’t even caught my breath, and already my men have been killed in your bloody Liu Zhuang! Who ordered the death of my soldiers, and hung their bodies on the city gate?”

Fei Xinyu said loudly, “I demand an explanation for this!”

Before Mo Yuantu could respond humbly, Fei Xinyu went on a tirade.

Even before the Mo brothers could speak, Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu had already taken their stances: Wu Tiejun the good cop, and Fei Xinyu the bad cop.

Mo Yuantu immediately realized that this matter might not be easily resolved today.

These two were clearly playing good cop/bad cop.

“Deputy Commander Fei!” Wu Tiejun said calmly, “You need to show respect to Master Mo. He is our guest!”

“Respect for Mo? What kind of ‘master’ is he? What official is he? Why does he deserve my respect?”

Fei Xinyu shouted in anger, “Show me your official seal! Don’t tell me he, even in Capital City, how many officials do we need to honor? Mo Yuantu, you tell me, you son of a bitch, do you deserve my respect?”

“Insolence!”

Before Mo Yuantu could even speak, Wu Tiejun exploded, “Shut up!”

“Shut up then! So what if you’re the Grand Marshal!”

Fei Xinyu murmured: “It was not you who was assassinated, I escaped death by a hair’s breadth, all of this happened because of Supreme Mountain. Where am I supposed to seek justice now? Now that people from Supreme Mountain are here, I’m supposed to show them respect? As Grand Marshal, you don’t even stand up for your own men, what kind of leader are you?”

Wu Tiejun was enraged, “How I command as a marshal is none of your business! If you continue to rant, I’ll throw you out!”

Upon the arrival of the people from Supreme Mountain, they simply said: “Commander Wu, Deputy Commander Fei…”

Just these four words.

Before they could say another word, Grand Marshal Wu was already having a heated argument with Deputy Commander Fei.

Mo Yuantu and Mo Yuanqing remained silent, unable to react.

Watching their lively dispute, anyone unaware of the situation would think the two marshals were truly having a disagreement. But we’re all old players; who couldn’t see through this display of authority?

“You people talk!”

Fei Xinyu spitefully said, sitting aside, “Regardless, I have two demands: First, who killed my soldiers! Hand over fifty heads to compensate! If this can’t be done, then we continue our struggle! Second, Supreme Mountain attempted to assassinate me, and they must explain! If there’s no explanation, we continue to struggle!”
