Chapter 119 Entering the Capital

Chen Mo stood beside the carriage and looked at the cavalry in the distance. The cavalry who came were not very elite. There were only more than a hundred cavalry, and each one was wearing light armor.

The leader should be pretty strong. He could at least activate the eyes of blood. From a distance, he could see that the carriage behind Chen Mo belonged to the royal family alone.

"Your Highness, this should be the Imperial Guards." Chen Mo stood beside the carriage and spoke slowly.

The curtains of the carriage were opened, revealing a young face, looking at the imperial troops galloping in from a distance.

As time went by, although he still felt scared, he gradually came back to his senses.

The Forbidden Army ran extremely fast, sending up smoke and dust from a distance, and they arrived in front of the carriage in a short time.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the cavalry capital of the sixth-grade imperial army. I dare to ask you who you are. This carriage is the carriage and horse used by the imperial palace. I wonder if there is anyone in the carriage now."

The leader of these one hundred cavalrymen was tall, strong, dark-skinned, and had an overly thick beard.

"I am Chen Mo, the head of the Salt Transportation Department of Xingyuan Prefecture, seventh rank of the imperial court. I was ordered to go to the capital. On the way, I met the eldest prince who was being chased by thieves.

There were two thieves, one was killed by me, and the other was captured here. Your Highness is now safe and well. "

Chen Mo once again showed the official seal of the transfer order as proof.

Ma Jianxin turned over and dismounted, looking at the acquired strong man who was tightly bound.

"May I ask if the other imperial guards who are protecting the eldest prince are here?" He bowed his hands from a distance and asked in confusion.

"No, they were all killed by the two thieves." Chen Mo slowly shook his head.

"Gu's guards were all killed by the two thieves. It was General Chen who showed up and saved Gu's life." The eldest prince Zhao Renmin walked out of the carriage and said bravely.

His voice was not loud, but Ma Jianxin heard clearly.

He knew that among the guards around the eldest prince, there must be more than one Perfect Tongmai Mirror warrior.

The fact that the two thieves could kill the imperial guards so easily meant that one of them must be an acquired warrior, or even both of them.

However, Chen Mo was able to kill a thief and capture another alive.

This shows that his strength is definitely not bad, and there is a high probability that he will become a strong person the day after tomorrow.

However, seventh-grade officials must be strong the day after tomorrow.

These two concepts could never be equated in Ma Jianxin's mind.

If Chen Moruo is really an acquired power, how could he be a seventh-grade official? This is completely impossible. At the very least, he must be a fifth-grade guard.

This is the official position that he could only achieve if he was ostracized in the officialdom, had no connections, no popularity, and even offended others.

Otherwise, a normal acquired martial artist would never be able to only sit in the fifth rank official position.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine how Chen Mo could be a seventh-grade official!

"Then I dare to ask this general how strong these two thieves are, so I can report them." Ma Jianxin's attitude was very humble. Although Chen Mo's official position was not as good as his, he was not arrogant at all.

Because he understood that if Chen Mo was really a strong man the day after tomorrow and saved the eldest prince.

Not to mention that he is now a seventh-rank official in the imperial court. Even if he does not have any official position, as long as he wants to be an official, he can surpass himself at any time.

"These two thieves are both Houtian warriors. The specific level is unknown. I have used the inner energy of this person to seal all the acupoints and meridians. There is no need to worry about them breaking out and hurting others."

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and pointed at the Houtian strongman who was thrown to the ground.

Ma Jianxin nodded. He still hasn't figured out why Chen Mo is only a seventh-grade official despite his acquired strength.

Could it be that his strength has improved too quickly and his official position has not yet been promoted?

This shouldn't be the case. No matter how fast he can improve, no matter how talented he is, it will take more than ten years to cultivate from sensing inner energy to the acquired state. How can he not have time to improve his official position?

Although Ma Jianxin couldn't figure it out, he knew what he should do now.

He waved his hand to the side and ordered, and a buzzing arrow was shot high into the sky.

In any case, although he did not personally save the eldest prince this time, he was the first to find him, so he deserves some credit.

"Your Highness, we and the Imperial Army are all searching outside now. Support will arrive in a few moments. You can rest assured." Ma Jianxin bowed and saluted.

"General, I have to ask you to take care of this prisoner temporarily." Immediately, he saluted Chen Mo again.

He really didn't want to take care of this acquired thief. If he couldn't control one of them, he would commit suicide even if he didn't escape.

The important person was interpreted as having some connection with these thieves, so he helped him commit suicide.

At that time, he will be covered in yellow mud and his crotch will fall off, and it will be shit if it is not shit.

The prince was attacked and killed, which was a major crime against the nine clans.

If you don't have the ability to guard this thief, don't try to compete for the credit. In the end, you might end up involving your entire family.

As the sound of arrows was fired, several groups of cavalry arrived one after another. Ma Jianxin stepped forward one after another and explained the situation to them.

The cavalry commanders, after learning about Chen Mo's situation, all looked at him with extremely puzzled and surprised looks.

Obviously, like Ma Jianxin, they couldn't figure out why Chen Mo only had a seventh-grade official position since he had acquired strength.

However, they soon realized that this look was a bit rude, so they all smiled and showed their kindness to Chen Mo.

They understood that no matter what Chen Mo had been like before, but now that he had saved the eldest prince and his own strength was not bad, his career would definitely skyrocket in the future, which was far beyond their reach.

Chen Mo also smiled back at them. At least now they had no conflict of interest, so everyone was friendly.

From the attitudes of these cavalry commanders, Chen Mo could vaguely feel that nothing major had happened in the capital.

It seemed that the disappearance of the eldest prince was the most important thing at the moment.

Of course, there was another possibility, that is, with the status of these people, they were not qualified to know before the dust settled.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, another person led hundreds of cavalrymen to rush over.

This person was wearing a fourth-rank military officer's robe, and the divine horse under his crotch was blood red. There seemed to be a hot breath flowing in the galloping, which was definitely a rare horse.

"I am late to protect you, Your Highness, I hope you will forgive me."

The man turned over and dismounted, came to the front of the carriage, and bowed down.

He was about forty years old, with a regular face and a brave spirit. At first glance, you can tell that he is extraordinary and must have been on the battlefield for a long time.

"It's okay, my dear." Zhao Renmin leaned out of the carriage and said.

Chen Mo stepped forward again and explained the situation to the fourth-rank military officer.

"You mean, you killed a post-natal warrior and captured a post-natal warrior alive." Lu Chuan's tone was slightly puzzled, and it seemed that he was also puzzled.

If Chen Mo had post-natal strength and was still so young, why was he only a seventh-rank officer.

"That's right. This is my transfer order, please take a look, sir." Chen Mo took out the transfer order document that had been in his arms.

Lu Chuan took it, looked at it carefully again and again, and then handed it back to Chen Mo.

"Your Highness, please follow me back to the capital." Lu Chuan looked at the eldest prince Zhao Renmin beside him and said in a deep voice.

"No need, let General Chen escort me." Zhao Renmin said.

Obviously, compared with the fourth-rank military officer in front of him who he didn't know, he trusted Chen Mo who had just saved his life more.

"Protect your highness." Lu Chuan casually told Chen Mo, and then turned and left.

With his status and position, he could get more information.

He naturally understood that at the age of the eldest prince, he must have sneaked out of the palace.

Why did he come out? With his age and status, it is impossible for him to slip out of the palace so easily. Who helped him on the way? Did someone deliberately lead him out?

How did the bandits know his route? How long did they plan for this?

No matter which of these questions you investigate, you will have to kill people with blood flowing like a river.

This matter is too complicated. It is best for you to just do your duty and not get involved in other things.

This is the way to protect yourself, not to seek merit, but to avoid mistakes.

Thousands of cavalrymen surrounded the two carriages and held them tightly.

Chen Mo drove the imperial horse in front, and Zhao Renmin grabbed his sleeves tightly, refusing to let him leave.

Zhao Yu drove her own carriage behind Chen Mo. There were thousands of cavalrymen running around, but she was not afraid.

The thieves captured by Chen Mo were hastily bandaged and were personally guarded by Lu Chuan.

The cavalrymen were not running fast. It took more than an hour to reach the city gate.

The city wall of the capital is very tall. It is more than 20 feet high and 70 to 80 feet wide, which can allow three carriages to run side by side.

The city gate tower is even taller, and many battlements and arrow towers are built on the left and right sides, which protect the entire city tightly.

This is definitely a majestic city.

The city wall is covered with mottled spots left by years of wind and rain, and there are also sword marks left by the strong men of the enemy country when they attacked the city.

Chen Mo also saw a knife mark with a diameter of more than 5 feet and a width of 7 feet.

Not only that, he could feel that even though a long time had passed, this knife mark was still emitting a fierce aura.

There should be a large number of formations arranged by Qi Refiners on the city wall, so this knife mark can be suppressed.

Therefore, only a warrior with Chen Mo's cultivation level can vaguely feel the powerful aura of this knife mark.

Other passers-by can't notice it at all, just thinking it is an ordinary knife mark.

The city has long been under martial law and is tightly blocked everywhere.

Lu Chuan rode up to report, and the two city gates, which were nearly thirty feet wide in total, slowly opened.

There were eighteen gates like this in the outer city of the capital, so that the city could use them.

He rode slowly into the city. There were no pedestrians on the streets, and the road was very smooth.

After passing through the outer city, the carriage arrived in front of the inner city.

Unlike the market towns or county towns that Chen Mo had visited before, those places had relatively small populations. Even if there were dignitaries, they could only live in a few streets, and it was not worth building a separate inner city.

The population of the capital was millions, and it occupied an extremely vast area. There were more dignitaries and noble families.

So the division between the inner and outer cities was formed.

A strong and majestic city wall clearly divided the inner and outer cities.

Ordinary people and officials of lower positions could only live in the outer city.

Only the real noble families, high-ranking officials and nobles were qualified to live in the inner city.

The carriage slowly passed through the inner city and finally arrived in front of the palace city.

This is the entire capital city, and it can even be said to be the most important place in the entire Daqian.

Correction: The last chapter has been revised, and the age of the eldest prince has been changed to eight years old.

Hope all book friends are aware of this.
