Chapter 120 Handover

Chen Mo looked at the palace city in front of him. Hundreds of Yulin guards wearing heavy armor and fully armed were responsible for guarding the gate of the palace city here.

These Yulin Guards are all the best among the best, and they all come from good families.

Many of them are even concubines and side branches of noble families. They have a desire to make progress and have acceptable martial arts skills. Only then can they join the Yulin Guard.

Chen Mo glanced over and found among the hundreds of feather forest guards, more than a dozen experts who were no less than Mo Hu.

The strength of the remaining people was generally a bit higher than that of their adoptive father's soldiers, but not much higher.

This is already very good. You must know that with Mo Hu's current strength, no matter where he goes to take the exam in the state capital, he can win the honor of being a civil servant.

With such strength, even among the most elite Yulin Guards, he could at least be considered a gang leader.

Needless to say, these people have such strength and are willing to stay in the Yulin Guards, so the treatment of the Yulin Guards must be quite good.

Lu Chuan dismounted from his horse and hurried forward to talk to the Yu Linwei on duty in front of him.

Not long after, a slightly rich middle-aged warrior wearing no armor and a fourth-grade military attaché robe came out.

"Your Highness." He called softly from a distance towards the carriage.

"Uncle!" A joyful and cordial exclamation came from the carriage, and Zhao Renmin leaned out, looking quite excited.

As the saying goes, a mother's uncle is the elder. If others have plans, they may harm her, but his uncle will never do it.

When Xu Jin saw his figure, he was instantly relieved. He didn't care about anything else at the moment and hurriedly walked to the carriage and grabbed Zhao Renmin tightly.

"My little ancestor, thank you for being okay!" His voice was very low, and his tone could not conceal his excitement.

Normally, he would certainly not say this in front of the public, but now he really couldn't control himself.

Ever since he learned that Zhao Renmin was missing, he had been going crazy with anxiety. Now that he had finally found him, the suppressed emotions in his heart could finally be relieved.

"You are Chen Mo. It was you who killed the thief and saved His Highness." Xu Jin gently patted Zhao Renmin on the back, looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Yes, he was the one who saved me." Seeing his relatives, Zhao Renmin was obviously much more relieved and no longer as afraid and worried as before.

"I will take this thief and His Highness into the palace first, and then I will ask Your Majesty for an imperial edict to reward you later." Xu Jin bowed his hands in a very friendly manner.

The acquired strong man is not a cabbage. The eldest prince is only the eldest prince now, not the prince. It is not easy to win over the acquired strong man.

Since Chen Mo saved Zhao Renmin, it would be much easier to win over him if he was branded as their side.

"General Chen, I will definitely ask my father to reward you heavily when I come back." Zhao Renmin also said at this time.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chen Mo saluted with a smile and watched them leave.

The thief he captured earlier was also taken away by a fourth-grade Yulin Army commander.

Returning to his carriage, Chen Moruo turned around without anyone else and walked all the way to the outer city.

No matter what happens next, at least it has nothing to do with him for the time being.

Chen Mo estimated that before he was rewarded, either people would be killed and blood would flow everywhere inside and outside the court, or the matter would be forcibly suppressed without any disturbance in the court.

From the fact that the eldest prince's uncle is still alive, it can be seen that the possibility of killing him in a river of blood is higher.

Anyway, just wait for now, as he stops and goes along the way, and his speed is not very fast.

According to Chen Mo's estimate, his adoptive father will probably arrive in six or seven days.

Given his official position and identity, I might be able to find out more information by asking him when the time comes.

Driving all the way to the outer city, the martial law has been lifted one after another.

As a majestic city with a population of millions, the capital cannot be under martial law for too long, otherwise it will be a problem for the people in the city to eat.

Now that the most important matters have been resolved, the outer cities will naturally be unblocked one after another.

However, the inner city and the palace city still maintained martial law, and the entire capital was in a state of tightness on the outside and tight on the inside.

Spending fifty coins, Chen Mocong found a guide and asked him to lead him around the capital.

The outer city area of ​​the capital is divided into dozens of cities, some large and some small. The largest city has hundreds of thousands of people living there, which is more than the population of many large counties.

The smaller cities also have a population of 60,000 to 70,000. Each city has all kinds of shops, just like a small city.

Under the leadership of the guide, Chen Mo's carriage quickly drove into Anyefang.

The reason why I came to this city is because my adoptive father has a house in the outer city.

With his position as foster father, it was obviously impossible for him to have a mansion in the inner city, but that was not a problem in the outer city.

Even many dignitaries who have residences in the inner city will also buy residences in the outer city.

After all, the space in the inner city is limited, but the outer city is much more spacious.

Although his adoptive father does not live in Beijing all year round, there are servants in this house to look after him.

He said in his letter home that if Chen Mo arrived in the capital first, he could settle here first.

The guide then asked the guide in this city for directions, and then brought Chen Mo to Sun's house.

Zhao Yu took out a purse from his arms and found some copper coins to pay the bill.

Sun's house is quite impressive, with a lacquered wooden door more than two feet wide, and two rather mighty stone lions standing in front of the door.

The gate of the house was closed tightly. It was obvious that no one came in or out through this gate on weekdays, and no one came to visit.

There is a side room next to the main door, which is both a gatehouse and a side entrance.

An old man with gray hair was sitting in the house. Seeing Chen Mo stop the car, he hurriedly walked over.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Although Chen Mo was not wearing official robes, the old man could still tell at a glance that he had an extraordinary status.

After all, having a carriage means you are no longer an ordinary person. Ordinary people can't afford it, let alone a carriage pulled by two horses.

"I am the adopted son of Sun Shouren, the governor of Xingyuan Prefecture. The imperial court transferred me to Beijing, and my adopted father asked me to settle here first."

Chen Mo took out the letterhead and official seal from his arms. The old concierge couldn't understand it, so he bowed first, turned around and trotted away.

Not long after, a tall and thin middle-aged man in his thirties came over in a hurry.

"My lord, this villain Sun Ji is the steward of this mansion. Please give me my letter to read."

Sun Ji bowed and saluted, with a flattering smile on his face.

Chen Moliang gave him the letter and read it carefully. Sun Ji changed his title at that time, "Master, please come with me."

Although Chen Mo is not General Sun's biological son, to these servants, Chen Mo is the young master.

Sun Ji asked someone to open the gate, and personally led the horse and led the carriage into the courtyard.

This mansion is said to be a residence, but in fact it covers an area comparable to that of a small manor, covering forty or fifty acres.

There are six small houses scattered around the courtyard. There are endless pavilions and water pavilions in the front and rear gardens, and all kinds of flowers and plants are planted.

It can be seen that this house is well taken care of. Even though his adoptive father has not been here for a long time, it is not abandoned.

No wonder Sun Ji looked quite calm when he saw him just now, and seemed to be confident.

Chen Mo chose a relatively secluded side courtyard, while Sun Ji found several maids and servants to clean the house and unload the things Chen Mo brought on the carriage one by one.

"Let's just stay here for a few days and wait until my adoptive father comes to talk about everything."

Chen Mo sat in the newly cleaned main hall and whispered to Zhao Yu beside him.

"I listen to you." Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, brought a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Master, someone just sent you a greeting card." Sun Ji walked over at this time.

Chen Mo was a little surprised. Although he had done something big this time when he entered the capital, many people should know about him.

But not many people really knew his name, and when Chen Mo left the inner city, he didn't find anyone following him.

So who is it that sent the invitation to see him?

Chen Mo was very interested in this. He opened the greeting card and saw the name on it.

The visitor who came to visit was none other than Lu Chuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth-Rank Forbidden Army whom he had met during the day.

And the time for his visit is tonight.

"I ordered a banquet to be held in the main courtyard in the evening, and distinguished guests will come to visit." Chen Mo closed the greeting card and explained.

Sun Ji bowed to accept the order and withdrew again.

"You stay at home safely and you don't have to wait for me to have dinner with you at night."

Chen Mo spoke with a smile, took out the Xuan Bing Bead from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yu.

"In addition, find a place where it is not easy to be found, offer this bead, and then light incense to wake up Wei Xia and ask her to stop sleeping and help us stay in the house when she wakes up."

Chen Mo once talked with Wei Xia. Incense cannot increase the strength of ghosts. For her, incense is just a signal that can wake her up.

At least for the time being, it's hard to say whether she can draw on the power of incense to improve herself in the future.

Wei Xia's strength is not that bad. Having her in charge of the house can be regarded as an extra layer of defense. It is better than nothing.

He saved the eldest prince and was grateful to him, but he offended another group of people.

It is true that this group of people should be thinking about how to escape at this time, and it is unlikely that they will do anything to themselves, but they must also prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

"Okay." Zhao Yu held the Xuan Bing Bead, nodded vigorously, and immediately started searching around the house to see where to enshrine the Xuan Bing Bead.

Chen Mo then found a room to meditate and adjust his breath. Unifying the three treasures of energy, energy and spirit was by no means an easy task.

Even if Chen Mo's spiritual thoughts can now be attached to the inner energy, the essence energy can also be combined with the inner energy.

But this combination is black rice mixed with white rice. They seem to be mixed together, but in fact they are still distinct.

It is not easy to unify the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. The most important thing is that I have no follow-up cultivation techniques.

The Five Elements Yunyuan Kung Fu is originally a technique that can only be practiced to the acquired state.

It is not easy to open up the mysterious apertures and the sea of ​​consciousness based on the acupoints mentioned above and the information obtained by oneself.

And if you want to go further with this technique, it will be extremely difficult and almost impossible.

If you want to break through, you must find other techniques to replace it.

Time soon came to evening, the courtyard door was wide open, Chen Mo moved a chair, sat inside the door and waited for Lu Chuan to arrive.

He didn't wait long when Lu Chuan came alone, not even wearing official uniform.

"Master Lu." Chen Mo saluted.

In fact, he still hasn't figured out why the other party suddenly came to visit him.

"Since you are the head of the Salt Transportation Department of Xingyuan Prefecture, what is your specific relationship with Sun Shouren, the guard of Xingyuan Prefecture?" Lu Chuan stared at Chen Mo and asked in a serious voice.
