In This Weird World, I Use My Body to Control All Things

Chapter 121 Undercurrent

Chen Mo was suspicious and didn't understand why the other party asked this question, but he still answered, "General Sun is my adoptive father."

Lu Chuan nodded and walked towards the main courtyard without saying much.

Chen Mo waved his hand to signal the servant to close the door, and he followed Lu Chuan.

All the way to the brightly lit main courtyard, there were already maids standing by in the dining room to serve.

Chen Mo dismissed the remaining servants, and there were only two of them in the huge dining room.

"Your adoptive father and I are old acquaintances and the same age. If you think about it, you should call me Uncle Lu."

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lu Chuan's tense face relaxed.

"Uncle Lu, why did you come to see the younger generation today?" Chen Mo was still quite confused about this.

"Do you know what happened in the capital these days?" Lu Chuan asked in a serious tone.

Seeing Chen Mo shook his head slightly, he continued, "Some time ago, a powerful demon invaded, and a demon bandit joined forces with a foreign race to assassinate your majesty.

Although the assassination was unsuccessful, since then, your majesty has been in seclusion to recover from his injuries. He has not come out for a long time, and has not even appeared in the court.

It was also around that time that your majesty called your adoptive father and the garrisons of many prefectures to lead troops into the capital.

As a result, as soon as you entered the capital, you saw the eldest prince being attacked and killed. Given the eldest prince's age, he must have sneaked out of the imperial city, and someone must have helped him."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he sighed softly. This matter is too complicated.

From the assassination of your majesty to the attack on the eldest prince, no matter which one, it is a shocking event.

Especially when your majesty was assassinated and there was news that he was seriously injured and had not recovered, but at this time, the eldest prince was deceived out of the city, and there was a post-natal strongman who wanted to kill him.

Don't even think about it, this matter must have been prepared for a long time, at least it had begun to be prepared not long after your majesty was assassinated.

As for whether these two things may be related to each other, it is even harder to say.

Although nothing major has happened yet, Lu Chuan seems to be able to see the scene in the capital city in a few days.

"Demons? Where are the demons so strong? The court failed to wipe them out?" Chen Mo's tone was a little puzzled. Apart from the Dutian Dao Sect, he really had never come into contact with any demon cultivators.

Even the Dutian Dao Sect cannot be considered a demon in the strict sense. It can only be said that they want to rebel, so they are demons.

If they are willing to cooperate with the court, then the Dutian Dao Sect can also be the right way.

There are two types of so-called demons. One is the real evil demons who hurt people's lives at any time and act without scruples. Some even use living people as cultivation resources.

This is the real demon, and everyone shouts and beats it. No matter the court family or the Jianghu sect, as long as they see this kind of demon, they will take action to wipe it out.

The other is against the court. No matter how they act, they are demons in Daqian.

"This group of demons came from Luantian Valley, or rather, all the demons that were surrounded and suppressed by the court but not completely suppressed hid there.

Many of them have strong hatred for Daqian and the current emperor. This time they cooperated with the alien race, so they dared to take risks and come to assassinate the king."

Lu Chuan sighed when he said this. The demons were not a concern. If they were really strong, they would not have been surrounded and suppressed by the court into Luantian Valley.

But the strength of the alien race is indeed not weak, otherwise they would not have been completely suppressed after so many years of conquest.

Of course, Lu Chuan has another guess in his mind, that is, His Majesty was assassinated on purpose.

And although he was fine after being assassinated, he pretended to be seriously ill, in order to take this opportunity to lure out the rebels in the court and more demons.

However, before these people were lured out, some people could not control their inner greed and took risks to seize the throne.

Of course, these are all his guesses, and they cannot be confirmed to be true, so he will not tell Chen Mo.

"How is His Majesty doing now? Uncle Lu, do you have any news?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

So far, the most important point is whether His Majesty is healthy.

If he is not seriously injured or has recovered from his injuries, many people will die next.

On the contrary, if His Majesty is really seriously injured and cannot be cured, he may even die.

Then the entire capital, including the entire Daqian, will most likely fall into turmoil and chaos.

The faction of the eldest prince will definitely fight with the faction that wants to kill the eldest prince.

"I went to inquire today, but I couldn't get any news. The palace was under martial law and I couldn't even get in.

I asked other people, including my immediate superior, the General of the Central Army, but I couldn't get any news."

Lu Chuan looked solemn and shook his head slowly.

The General of the Central Army, an official of the second rank, can be called the highest official.

Because according to the usual practice of Daqian, the first-rank official position is generally not granted, but only used for posthumous titles.

The general of the Central Army can nominally manage all the imperial guards, but in fact, in most cases, he can only mobilize the imperial guards of the capital.

If he really wants to mobilize the imperial guards of the other several acropolises, he must get the imperial edict.

Even so, being able to manage the imperial guards of the capital shows that His Majesty trusts him.

But even the general of the Central Army doesn't know any news, which is enough to show how serious the matter is. Of course, he may know, but he doesn't want to reveal it to Lu Chuan.

But no matter what, it is enough to see that the matter is still unresolved and there is no specific result yet.

"I came here today to tell you that it is good for you to save the eldest prince with your identity, and you have made a contribution anyway.

But if someone tries to win you over, then don't do anything.

Only in this way, no matter what the future situation is, you will have merits and no faults. "

Lu Chuan said earnestly and seriously.

If Chen Mo was not Sun Shouren's adopted son, he would never say this today.

Because once Chen Mo takes a stand, then in the eyes of others, it basically represents Sun Shouren's choice.

Yes, Chen Mo's official position is indeed not high, but he is strong.

A master who can easily kill other acquired strongmen, no matter what realm, his combat power is definitely enough to match the acquired perfection.

In the absence of innate warriors and Jindan cultivators, the acquired perfection is already the top strongman in the world.

The statement of this kind of strong man is very important in itself.

He is not familiar with Chen Mo, but he doesn't want to see his old friend being dragged into the water.

This matter is too deep and muddy. It may not be a good thing to rashly get involved before it is clear.

"Junior understands, next junior will stay in this house to practice, and will never ask about other things. "

Chen Mo thought for a moment and gave a smile.

What Lu Chuan said was indeed correct. He saved the eldest prince, which was an indisputable merit.

No matter how the fight goes on, even if the prince of this faction who wanted to kill the eldest prince really ascended to the throne, he would have to reward Chen Mo heavily.

After all, he saved the prince at that time and fulfilled the duty of a minister. No matter who became the emperor, he would want to see such a minister.

So now he can just sit back and wait for the matter to end.

It would be risky to actively intervene.

"I'm glad you understand. "Lu Chuan nodded gently.

Immediately changed the topic and talked to Chen Mo about the characteristics of the capital and some things to pay attention to when entering the capital for the first time.

Chen Mo ordered the maid to serve cold dishes first, and then opened two jars of good wine that his adoptive father kept in this mansion to entertain Lu Chuan.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes were served.

Lu Chuan's face was slightly red, and he held Chen Mo's hand and asked another question.

"My dear nephew, how come you are only a seventh-rank official with your acquired cultivation. Didn't Old Sun write a letter to the court to recommend you? This shouldn't be right. "

Lu Chuan was obviously also confused about this matter.

Although practicing martial arts can delay aging, since Chen Mo has worshipped Sun Shouren as his adoptive father, he must be much younger than Sun Shouren.

This shows that Chen Mo's talent is really good, even those cultivation seeds in the top sects of the aristocratic families.

Since he started to lay the foundation for cultivation at the age of five or six, at Chen Mo's age, it is estimated that at most he is in the acquired realm.

There are no more than thirty top talents like this in the entire Daqian at the same time.

However, Lu Chuan knew that Chen Mo's talent was definitely far more than this.

He must not be born in an aristocratic family and has no sect to rely on. After all, if he had these, why would he worship Sun Shouren as his adoptive father.

Without enough With sufficient resources and the guidance of famous teachers, Chen Mo can still reach the acquired realm at this age, which shows his talent.

Not to mention the generation of Daqian, there may not be anyone who can match him in the past hundred years.

As long as Chen Mo does not have any accidents, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the innate realm.

This is why he specially came to advise Chen Mo not to rush to stand in a line and express his position.

Next, various factions will definitely want to win him over, because winning him over is not only winning over an acquired warrior, but also winning over a future innate strongman.

"This is a long story. My cultivation has just broken through not long ago, but I have cultivated both inside and outside, and my strength is slightly stronger than that of ordinary acquired strongmen.

I was busy in charge of salt transportation before, so my godfather didn't know that I had broken through the acquired realm. "

Chen Mo smiled and reluctantly gave an explanation.

This explanation does not have to be completely reasonable, because no one will investigate it carefully.

Even if they investigate carefully, they will not find that Chen Mo is from Qingzhou, and there are few living people in Qingzhou now.

But there is still a flaw, that is, I have to find a way to meet my adoptive father first and discuss this matter with him.

Otherwise, I have been practicing since I was a child, and now I have reached the acquired realm, which can be explained.

But if I have only practiced for two years, it seems a bit too unreasonable.

But even if it is completely exposed, the problem is not very big.

Unless there is a life-and-death feud, there is no Which force would suddenly go crazy and have to offend a strong man whose real combat power is comparable to that of the acquired perfection.

For such a strong man, even those forces with innate warriors mainly focus on winning him over.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo dared to expose his own strength. With his current strength, although he is not the best in the world, he is also in the first-class realm.

What's more, Chen Mo is an official appointed by the court, and he saved the life of the eldest prince. Unless the current emperor really dies, no one dares to touch him easily.

Because anyone who dares to touch him may be suspected by the emperor whether he is related to the force that robbed and killed the eldest prince.

"I see, I see. "Lu Chuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At the banquet, the two sides had a good chat. Chen Mo sent Lu Chuan out the door and then went back to the house to rest.

Two days later, Sun Shouren still hadn't arrived, but Mo Hu arrived in the capital first.

Chen Mo came to the capital after receiving the news from his adoptive father, so he would have received it after a few days.

It's just that he got the news later and had to go a longer way, so he was not as fast as Chen Mo.

In addition, he didn't come alone, and there were more than a dozen personal soldiers with him.

Compared to Chen Mo, the head of the Salt Transport Department, he has superiors and colleagues in the Taxation Department, and naturally someone will take over what he does not do.

Therefore, his personal soldiers can naturally be transferred to accompany him to Beijing.

Three days later, the palace was no longer under martial law, and news came that a grand court meeting would be held in five days, and all officials in Beijing, regardless of their ranks, would enter the palace for the meeting.

There is no doubt that the news that came out proved one thing, that is, the current emperor has no worries about his life.

Not only is he fine, but he also has spare energy to handle government affairs.

Even if he was really seriously injured, his injuries are now stable even if they have not healed.

He is fine, so the people who dared to attack and kill the eldest prince should be in trouble.

In fact, before this news came out, some high-ranking officials found that their colleagues suddenly disappeared.

Until the news of the grand court meeting came out, many officials were still taken away by the patrol guards for investigation.

More than a dozen households in the inner city were collectively sealed off by the patrol guards.

For a while, in the dark cell where the criminals were held in the Xuntian Guard, bursts of crying and wailing resounded from morning to night.

This matter involved too much. All those involved, regardless of their status and power, were at least from the three tribes of the Yi.

This also shows that the current emperor is definitely not bad, otherwise these things would not be done so cleanly and neatly.

These situations are no longer secret in the city, and officials of all sizes are almost aware of them.

The reason is simple, because the arrest of so many people is something that cannot be covered up. It soon spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind, and even Chen Mo knew it.

Of course, most ordinary people don’t care about this. The struggle in the court has nothing to do with them. At most, they brag about it, or talk about it casually when drinking.

Two days later, the personal soldiers arranged by Mo Hu to observe near the city gate finally brought news.

His adoptive father is now only more than 20 miles away from the capital, and he will be able to enter the city before dusk today.
