Chapter 122 Entering the Palace

"Adoptive father." Chen Mo walked into the tent and bowed.

Sun Shouren brought thousands of soldiers to the capital. He could enter the city, but these thousands of soldiers could not for the time being.

They could only set up camp outside the city to settle down first, waiting for the emperor's order, and then see how to place these soldiers.

Sun Shouren looked at Chen Mo in front of him with a complicated expression, with astonishment, surprise, confusion, and puzzlement.

As early as two or three days ago, when he was still on the road, he received a letter from his good friend Lu Chuan.

The letter talked about a lot of things, mainly about his adopted son Chen Mo, who had reached the post-natal realm in cultivation. Not only that, his combat power was far superior to that of warriors at the same realm.

The most important thing was that he had made great contributions and saved the life of the eldest prince.

To be honest, if he didn't know his old friend well enough, Sun Shouren would even think that this letter was sent to him by his old friend because he was crazy.

He knew every word in the letter, but he didn't understand it when it was connected into a paragraph.

He couldn't figure out how Chen Mo had acquired the acquired strength.

This was the most important question. Saving the eldest prince could be said to be a coincidence, but when did he achieve the acquired realm?

This question really confused Sun Shouren too much, and he hurried on his way these days, just to get to the capital as soon as possible so that he could ask Chen Mo in person.

But until now, he didn't know how to start for a while.

"Replying to my godfather, I asked people to purchase vegetables and wine from the city, and hired many carriages. It is estimated that these things will be delivered to the brothers before this evening."

Mo Hu spoke first. Since they arrived a few days in advance, it was impossible for them to do nothing.

They stationed troops near the capital. Although the court would provide food and wages, they had to do the procurement themselves.

"Okay, you go and arrange it first." Sun Shouren nodded gently to Mo Hu.

"I understand." He bowed and saluted, and slowly retreated.

He is not clear about Chen Mo's true strength for the time being. First, Chen Mo has not told him specifically, and second, with his official position, no one in the capital will tell him these things specifically.

The fact that Chen Mo saved the eldest prince that day is indeed circulating, but so far, only a small number of people know about it.

Most people are not clear about these things.

It will take a few days for the grand court meeting to announce this to the world.

Chen Mo's name, identity and strength will become well-known.

After Mo Hu left, Sun Shouren waved his hand to dismiss the other soldiers in the tent and asked them to stand guard outside. Then he looked at Chen Mo with an extremely puzzled and puzzled look.

Since he received the letter from his friend that day, Sun Shouren has been unable to eat or drink these days. He has read those letters back and forth countless times.

He can't figure out why Chen Mo is in the acquired realm.

He has only been practicing for a short time. Even if he has a top talent and understanding, and is a rare genius in a century, he is not so amazing.

Two years, never touched martial arts practice, directly reached the post-natal realm.

This span is a bit too big, Sun Shouren can't accept it.

Although he didn't practice since he was a child, he started practicing external martial arts and strengthening his muscles and bones since he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and it has been nearly thirty years now.

In the middle, he switched to practicing internal martial arts. His talent can be said to be good. His practice went smoothly all the way, and finally reached the perfection of Tongmai Realm, and he was only one step away from the post-natal.

Although he is not as good as Lu Chuan and Zhou Dong, who are born in aristocratic families, have good natural talents, and have been exposed to practice since childhood.

But looking at the world, he has been able to fight all the way to the present, and his qualifications are definitely not bad.

Only he knows the hardships along the way.

But what about Chen Mo?

Practicing for two years has far exceeded his efforts in the past thirty years, and Sun Shouren can't accept it.

Not to mention that Chen Mo was born in a bad family, even if he was the son of a top family, it would be impossible for him to practice to the post-natal realm in just two years.

This is too fast, so fast that it is impossible.

Since he got the news, Sun Shouren has been tossing and turning every day, thinking about it.

Sometimes when he was lying in bed and about to fall asleep, he would suddenly think of this question, wanting to know how Chen Mo practiced to reach the acquired realm so quickly.

If this is a talent, then this talent is too outrageous.

Sun Shouren couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out!

"Do you really have acquired cultivation now?" Sun Shouren's expression was extremely complicated, and he spoke slowly.

Chen Mo nodded lightly, and waved a slightly purple-green gas wall, which spread from himself and quickly covered the entire tent.

"Ah!" Sun Shouren looked at everything in front of him, and only felt that his brain was not working smoothly.

Of course, he knew that the release of internal energy was a sign unique to acquired warriors.

And Chen Mo's internal energy could be released so far, which meant that his cultivation was definitely not just the early stage of the acquired realm.

At least he had to completely open the door of heaven and earth and reach the middle stage of the acquired realm.

He found it difficult to accept this, but at least he had enough psychological expectations, because he knew the news two days ago.

But the amount of internal energy that Chen Mo could mobilize and the range he covered were somewhat terrifying in his eyes.

You have to know that although his tent was built temporarily, it was also more than ten feet in radius. To completely cover it, the amount of internal energy that needed to be mobilized was huge.

If this is said, there are still people who can do it, after all, acquired warriors can replenish internal energy at a very fast speed.

As long as the replenishment speed is fast enough, they may indeed mobilize internal energy far exceeding their own amount.

But not only that, Sun Shouren can also feel how powerful the power of these surging internal energy is.

Sun Shouren did not have no chance to meet post-natal warriors. In fact, he had seen the scene of a post-natal perfect warrior taking action.

However, as far as he knew, no post-natal warrior had such a condensed internal energy as Chen Mo, which was almost as solid as Chen Mo.

It was beyond his expectation that Chen Mo could practice to the post-natal realm, which made him unable to accept it for a while.

But at least this matter had been prepared, and now everything in front of him made him wonder how to react.

"This... this..." Sun Shouren opened his mouth several times in a row, but he couldn't say anything.

The shock that Chen Mo brought to him in the past few days was really hard for him to accept.

Although the scene in front of him was shocking, Sun Shouren had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so he didn't stay stunned for long. After he came to his senses, he asked, "Have you really only practiced for two years?"

"This matter is complicated. I actually came into contact with some cultivation in Qingzhou, but I didn't make any progress.

It was not until I fled all the way to Dingzhou and worshipped you as my adoptive father that my cultivation path became smooth.

I just broke through the acquired realm not long ago, but I practiced both internal and external cultivation, so my combat power is slightly stronger."

Chen Mo considered his tone and spoke slowly.

Sun Shouren rubbed his face hard to make sure that everything in front of him was true, and then he nodded gently.

He understood that even if Chen Mo had been exposed to martial arts before, he was at most a farmer.

Otherwise, he couldn't have been unaware of the difference between internal and external martial artists, let alone internal energy.

These are basic common sense of cultivation. If he really knows something about cultivation, he can't be unaware of it.

The most important thing is that Chen Mo doesn't know many words at all.

That is enough to prove that his family was definitely not well off before, otherwise how could he not even know the characters.

So he was able to cultivate to the post-natal realm, and it was really only these two years.

Sun Shouren figured this out, and sat quietly on the chair, not wanting to say another word.

He knew there were geniuses in this world, but this genius was a little too genius.

He had been practicing for thirty years and had not reached this point, but Chen Mo had surpassed him far in two years.

This was indeed a big blow to him.

But soon he stood up again, smiled and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was.

"Yes, I knew I was right, you are indeed talented."

Sun Shouren smiled very happily, even a little presumptuous.

Chen Mo has a good talent, but he is his adopted son, so the better his talent, the better it is for him.

Although he has not yet reached the post-natal realm, Chen Mo can do it.

In this way, he can also be regarded as a post-natal realm strongman.

The more Sun Shouren thought about it, the better it was, and the smile on his face could not be controlled at all.

Although he didn't know exactly how Chen Mo cultivated to reach the post-natal realm in two years.

But he knew one thing, that is, his adopted son was a post-natal strongman, and very strong.

That was enough.

Compared to this matter, other things were not so important now.

Everyone had secrets, and Sun Shouren didn't want to get to the bottom of it. He only knew one thing.

That was that Chen Mo was still willing to recognize him as his adoptive father, so that his previous careful cultivation of him would not be in vain.

"I just know that you entered the post-natal realm after two years of cultivation, and don't tell anyone else.

If anyone asks me, I will say that you have been practicing since you were young, but your family conditions are not good, so you worship me as your adoptive father.

Reaching the post-natal realm in two years is a bit too shocking. It is a good thing to attract a little attention, but it is not a good thing to attract too much attention."

Sun Shouren looked cautious. He was not a young man, and he understood the principle of overdoing it.

Chen Mo is now 22 years old. Considering that he started practicing at the age of five, he cultivated to the post-natal realm in 17 years. He can be called an absolute genius, but at least he can accept it.

If it only takes two years, it will be unacceptable.

It will certainly attract a lot of attention, which is not a good thing.

"I understand, everything is arranged by my adoptive father."

Chen Mo bowed and saluted, which was his previous idea.

"Now you have saved the eldest prince, which is a great achievement. His Majesty will definitely reward you, and maybe your official position will surpass mine soon!" Sun Shouren sighed softly.

Failure to break through the acquired realm is a big flaw for him. Even if he can be promoted, it is difficult to get real power because he cannot suppress his subordinates.

Chen Mo is different. With strength and merit, it is only a matter of time for his official position to surpass himself, and it can be predicted that it will not take long.

"Then you are also my adoptive father." Chen Mo smiled.

He said this sincerely, because his adoptive father is really good to him.

"Haha." Sun Shouren laughed and seemed very happy.

"Adoptive father, someone is coming to the palace." Chen Mo waved his hand to remove the surrounding internal energy, and the voice from the outside world came.

"Adoptive father, someone from the palace is looking for you." Mo Hu's voice continued to sound outside the tent.

Chen Mo had previously used his internal energy to cover the tent, so the sounds inside and outside were naturally completely isolated.

However, with the help of his internal energy, Chen Mo could sense the sounds from the outside, but Sun Shouren could not hear them.

Sun Shouren hurried out of the tent upon hearing the voice. A palace servant in a blue satin robe was standing outside the tent waiting.

"Pass on the order of His Majesty. Sun Shouren, the garrison commander of Xingyuan Prefecture, and his adopted son Chen Mo, the chief of the Xingyuan Prefecture Salt Transport Bureau, should immediately enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

Seeing Sun Shouren walk out, the palace servant immediately read out the order.

"I obey your orders." Sun Shouren and Chen Mo said in unison.

"It seems that His Majesty values ​​you very much. He can't wait for the court meeting, so he wants to see you in person." Sun Shouren lowered his voice and spoke to Chen Mo.

As a garrison commander of a prefecture, he would definitely be summoned by the emperor, but under normal circumstances, he should wait until the next morning, and he would never suddenly see him now.

And he had just settled down, and His Majesty sent a verbal order, suddenly wanting to see him and Chen Mo.

Without thinking, he knew that he was probably just a foil, and His Majesty mainly wanted to see Chen Mo.

The two of them followed the palace servants all the way, and soon arrived in the palace city.

The palace city was built luxuriously and majestically, with palaces scattered throughout the palace city.

The carefully fired glazed tiles reflected various colors of the sunset.

Each palace was designed and built by a master craftsman, and the materials of each beam and column were quite special, like the best white jade but extremely solid.

The beams and pillars are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the exquisite reliefs must have cost a lot of manpower.

Even the white marble slabs under the feet should be specially polished and replaced frequently.

The Yulin Guards on duty in the palace patrolled and replaced back and forth, guarding this place tightly.

Chen Mo, led by the palace attendant who read the oral order, had no obstacles in the palace city and finally came to a side hall.

"My two lords, His Majesty is now handling government affairs in the palace. We have to wait for a while." The palace attendant smiled and said.

"No need to wait, come in." A deep and powerful voice came from the side hall.

In fact, according to the rules, Chen Mo and others should wait for someone to pass before entering the palace to meet.

But as the emperor, what he said is the biggest rule.

Sun Shouren looked Chen Mo up and down, and then tidied his appearance before stepping into the hall.

Chen Mo followed him step by step.
