Chapter 276: Chapter 272: Why Don’t You Give Him Some Advice Yourself

After nightfall, Tang Xiaobai lay in bed, listening to the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers outside, eyes wide open, completely sleepless.

The little ancestor is quite good at coaxing people.

She only realized tonight, after returning to her tent, that she had been coaxed into a daze.

But the concern she had wasn’t resolved.

Of course, she trusted the little ancestor’s character; objectively, he would not be easily influenced.

But as a naive young man who doesn’t even know what a kiss is, how could he understand the tactics between men and women?

Not understanding is very dangerous.

How goes the saying?

Bad people won’t wait for you to slowly grow up.

After a sleepless half night, Tang Xiaobai decided that in certain aspects of education, she must make arrangements for the little ancestor!

So the question is?

It’s impossible for her to do it herself.

So, who should be tasked with educating him?

The next day, after thinking it over all day, Tang Xiaobai, while setting up camp in the evening, pretended to happen by the little ancestor’s tent.

Outside the tent, a few Black Armored Soldiers were guarding.

Inside the tent, the little ancestor was discussing matters with the officers.

The little ancestor didn’t hold any military position.

Currently, this army consists of over eighty thousand soldiers, of which sixty thousand come from Zhenzhou, and twenty thousand are from Hedong, each led by various levels of commanders.

Yet, it’s unknown what methods the little ancestor used, but all these commanders followed him unconditionally.

In addition to these eighty thousand, there was a group of three thousand Black Armored Cavalry, a force reorganized last year after a campaign to eliminate bandits.

This group is the little ancestor’s personal soldiers.

Therefore, those guarding outside his tent were these Black Armored Soldiers.

However, these Black Armored Soldiers couldn’t be considered truly trusted aides.

Tang Xiaobai walked back and forth outside the tent, hesitating.

On the third round, she heard the voice of the target person in her ear: “If you have business, let them report it, surely you won’t be turned away?”

Tang Xiaobai turned to look around.

Although most soldiers stood still, some were moving around.

Behind her, there was a seemingly unremarkable soldier walking.

His face was openly visible, with well-defined features, but for some reason, he just wasn’t noticeable.

“I think you might have been a roadside rock in a past life.” Tang Xiaobai said.

“Why?” He showed an interested expression.

Tang Xiaobai searched the ground, found a rock, and pointed, saying: “Look, here’s a rock. It’s neither big nor small, neither black nor white, and everyone passing by won’t pay attention to it.”

Just like Mo Huan, always standing in front of people, yet few pay attention.

Mo Ji is the exact opposite; he rarely appears in front of people, almost like he’s invisible, yet when he does, he’s very noticeable.

These two brothers are the little ancestor’s true trusted aides.

Mo Huan stared with interest at the rock for a while, then looked up, smiling, “Is the Second Miss here to see me?”

Tang Xiaobai nodded.

Mo Huan asked with a smile, “What are your orders?”

In his eyes, the Second Miss Tang was almost half a mistress.

If there were any instructions, he could handle them without the Crown Prince’s explicit command.

But the Second Miss Tang didn’t say she had any orders; instead, her eyes darted around sneakily, and she quietly asked, “Is your brother nearby?”

Mo Huan glanced at Mo Ji’s position with some surprise and nodded, “He is!”

He is…

Tang Xiaobai shrank a bit, following Mo Huan’s gaze—

She saw nothing…

“Can he hear us talking?” Tang Xiaobai asked even more quietly.

Mo Huan glanced again at Mo Ji’s spot and said, “He can’t hear us now.”

Only then did Tang Xiaobai breathe a sigh of relief.

“What does the Second Miss want to say?” Mo Huan was extremely curious.

What kind of conversation must be hidden from Mo Ji?

Even though Tang Xiaobai had mentally prepared herself, she still felt quite embarrassed at the moment, stammering for a while before asking, “Is your brother married?”

Mo Huan was taken aback, then shook his head, “The Young Master isn’t married; how could it be our turn?”

Their Mo Family, for generations, had been imperial Shadow Guards.

As a noble family of Shadow Guards, they had many rules.

For example, there are always only two Shadow Guards.

Also, Shadow Guards can only marry after the age of twenty-five and after their master marries, and once they have children, they automatically retire and are replaced by other members of the Mo Family.

“Then does he have a fiancée?” Tang Xiaobai asked again.

Mo Huan’s expression turned vigilant, but he still shook his head, “No.”

“A girl he likes?”

Mo Huan suddenly looked as if he were facing a great enemy: “Why are you asking these questions?”

Tang Xiaobai coughed awkwardly twice, muttering vaguely, “I’m just… casually asking…”

Mo Huan’s temple throbbed.

That was too casual!

I consider you a future mistress, surely you don’t want to become my sister-in-law?

“We as subordinates are not allowed to keep anything from our masters. If you ask me these questions, I’ll have to report them to the Young Master word-for-word!” Mo Huan said seriously.

Tang Xiaobai froze for a moment: “It’s not a big deal; why tell Ah Xiao?”

Mo Huan couldn’t help but give her a new level of respect.

Young but with a lot of nerve.

Already probing about Mo Ji and still considers it no big deal.

At what point would it actually be a big deal?

“Well, tell me, does your brother have a girl he likes?” Tang Xiaobai urged.

Mo Huan frowned, thought for a moment, and realized the young lady probably had a temporary impulse. It was better to let her abandon this thought: “He does!”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, she clapped her hands in delight: “That’s good!”

Mo Huan was stupefied, “How is it good?”

Tang Xiaobai considered it for a moment and said tactfully, “You see… Ah Xiao is already sixteen. He now has heavy responsibilities and will inevitably face all kinds of plots and schemes, such as the girl found in the Turkic Camp… Since your brother has someone he admires, he should understand these matters better. Can you ask your brother to advise Ah Xiao more?”

She thought for a long time and felt that such talk should come from someone close and trustworthy.

And the people the little ancestor trusts most, aside from her, are the brothers Mo Ji and Mo Huan.

Mo Huan understood: “You’re saying to warn the Young Master against the beauty trap?”

Young Miss Tang nodded repeatedly.

Although Mo Huan understood, he was still a bit puzzled: “Why must it be my brother? Can’t I give the advice?”

Tang Xiaobai was surprised: “You also have a girl you like?”

“It’s just a beauty trap; why do you need a girl you like?” Mo Huan said nonchalantly, “We were trained properly; remaining composed around beauty is basic!”

After saying this, he felt the need to explain what it meant to “remain composed around beauty,” but Young Miss Tang was already shaking her head: “Your composure is merely superficial. Your brother, having a girl he likes, understands mind games better.”

Mo Huan felt belittled.

“My brother doesn’t have a girl he likes; he’s only spoken a handful of words to girls since childhood, more superficial than me—” At this point, Mo Huan suddenly gave Tang Xiaobai a strange look and smiled, “I think the Second Miss understands quite well herself, why not advise him personally? The Young Master would surely be happy to listen to you.”
