Chapter 133 Treasure Selection
An Le Emperor Zhao Huaili looked at Chen Mo quietly for a while, and then said softly, "Ai Qing has questions, but it's okay to say it?"
"Your Majesty, I am a warrior, wouldn't it be better to let the Ministry of Rites handle the envoy matters?
Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites are not strong, if they want to send strong people, then why not use the innate strong people and insist on letting the humble ministers go. "
Chen Mo looked very puzzled. Logically speaking, it would not be his turn to go on a mission to an enemy country.
Regarding etiquette exchanges, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette are responsible.
If you are worried about being robbed and killed, then you might as well send someone who is innately strong. Why would you choose someone who has nothing to do with you?
It's better to let yourself go to Luantian Valley to encircle and suppress the devil, and you can play a greater role.
"I won't hide it from my beloved. The reason why I chose you is that your strength is the most suitable.
Apart from anything else, it is impossible for Beili to allow me, the Xiantian Power, to enter the border at will.
And among the acquired experts that I can mobilize, you alone are the strongest. Even if you face an innate expert, you still have the chance to escape, so I use you as my main envoy. "
What Zhao Huaili said was true. He had repeatedly asked the young eunuch who saw Chen Mo take action.
If what the eunuch said was true, Chen Mo could quickly kill two acquired strong men in an instant, then his real combat power would definitely be far superior to other acquired perfect strong men.
It is really terrifying for a genius who has both internal and external cultivation to reach this level.
It can be said that except for the innate warriors and the golden elixir overhaul, other warrior cultivators are definitely no match for Chen Mo.
In fact, looking at the entire Daqian, Chen Mo is not the only warrior with outstanding combat capabilities in the acquired realm.
But the only person Zhao Huaili can currently rely on who can mobilize at will is Chen Mo.
"In addition, I want to take this opportunity to see if I can attract those demonic thieves who are hiding in secret, so I need you to go out as a bait."
Zhao Huaili did not hide his thoughts, but said it directly.
In fact, this is a conspiracy. Regardless of whether Chen Mo is a bait or not, those powerful demons must stop him.
Otherwise, if the two countries negotiate a peace, Daqian will slowly deal with them as long as he can free his hands.
Only if Chen Mo is strong enough can he force those demonic innates or golden elixir masters to take action.
A strong man in the demonic way is not a fool. He must know that he secretly arranges a strong man to protect the mission.
If the mission itself is not strong enough and a few acquired experts can basically kill it with a surprise attack, then they will never take action easily.
"This matter is too dangerous. If you don't agree, I will never blame you." Zhao Huaili said solemnly.
The key is to really send people there. No matter how strong they are, they must go all out to complete this matter.
If Chen Mozhen didn't want to, he couldn't just force the situation, so he might as well replace him.
"If you are willing to go and have any requirements, you can tell me now, and I will try my best to agree to it."
After saying this, he stopped talking and didn't even look at Chen Mo. He sat back on the table again to deal with official documents.
Chen Mo did not agree in a hurry, but considered it carefully.
Obviously, this is a high-risk, high-reward thing.
Not to mention other rewards, going on a mission to an enemy country is a meritorious service regardless of whether it can lead to peace talks or not.
What's more, it is impossible for the imperial court to send a fifth-rank official as the leader of the mission, it must be at least a fourth-rank official.
As long as he nodded and agreed, his official position would have to be at the fourth rank, the same level as his adoptive father.
No matter whether the peace talks are successful or not, he must be of the fourth rank when he comes back. This kind of official position is a high official in the state capital.
A decision, an idea, can even affect millions of lives.
Even if he is placed in the capital, he is not a minor official. Most of the six ministers hold this position.
In addition to the official position, there will be other generous rewards.
The risks are also obvious, it’s just about whether you can bear them.
According to His Majesty, with his previous strength, he could escape with his life from the hands of the innate strong ones, so there is absolutely no problem with his current strength.
If you do this yourself, the worst result is that the mission will fail, but your life will never be lost.
On the contrary, if you succeed, the benefits will be too high, and you will gain a lot before you even do it.
How to choose between the two, but Chen Mo made the choice in a moment
"Wei Chen is willing to go!" Chen Mo replied seriously after thinking and making a decision in his heart.
"Okay, what do you want, Aiqing? It doesn't matter!" Zhao Huaili asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I have a wife, and I would like to ask for a royal decree for her."
Chen Moju bowed down and his tone was very serious.
"Oh!" Zhao Huaili was slightly surprised. Of course he knew that Chen Mo was married. If not, he should have thought about how to marry Chen Mo long ago.
But he really didn't expect that Chen Mo's first request for him was not to ask for various rare treasures, but to seek a life for his wife.
This shows that he cares about his first wife very much.
This was a good thing. Only in this way could he feel more confident about letting Chen Mo go on a mission to an enemy country.
What's more, he also knew that Chen Mo's first wife was not from a famous family, but just an ordinary citizen.
Chen Mo is now the highest-ranked scholar in the imperial court, but he is still willing to beg for his wife's life, which shows that he misses his old love very much. Only such a person can be cultivated and used with confidence.
"Yes, I allow you to do this. Do you have any other requests? Going this time is very dangerous, so it's better to be more prepared."
Zhao Huaili nodded in agreement and then asked again.
For him, the matter of granting a decree cannot even be regarded as a request.
In his opinion, this was just Chen Mo's request to prevent himself from having an accident and making his life as a wife unsustainable.
Since he asked him to be an envoy and take such risks for the imperial court, he should be free from worries.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have been in a small place before, and I have no vision. I have never had weapons and armor that are convenient for me. So I want to get a set of weapons and armor that fits my hand so that I can use it."
Chen Mo did not hesitate and continued to make his request.
He was indeed short of training resources, but he also needed the weapons and armor themselves.
The most important thing is that even if I ask for cultivation resources now, the amount I get will not be enough for my next rebirth.
It is better to get weapons and armor, which can increase your strength in the shortest time.
Even though his inner energy has already been condensed into armor all over his body, it would naturally be safer if he had a good set of armor to protect him.
Although with his current strength, there is no problem in escaping from the hands of the innately strong, but he still needs to take more precautions, the more the better.
Zhao Huaili smiled and nodded. Chen Mo's request was by no means excessive, and could even be said to be very reasonable.
And the purpose of him getting the weapon armor is to do things for himself.
"Here comes someone." He called out softly and took out a black jade token from his arms.
The old eunuch who had been waiting outside the hall hurried in. He had no martial arts training. At most, he had practiced external martial arts, and his physique was slightly stronger than ordinary people.
But it has to be said that today's emperor does have full trust in him.
According to the information Chen Mo knew, this old eunuch had been waiting by his side as early as when His Majesty was still in the dormitory.
"Take Mr. Chen to my storehouse and pick out some suitable weapons and armor."
He explained carefully and handed the token to the old eunuch.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Mo bowed and bowed again, then left with the old eunuch.
Of course, the secret library is also in the palace, but there are not many Habayashi guards guarding it.
This is normal. There are layers of formations here. If someone can really sneak into them, it will be useless no matter how many Yulin Guards are arranged to guard them.
In other words, it was Habayashi Wei's dereliction of duty to allow people to sneak into this place.
The old eunuch took Chen Mo through the palace without any obstruction, and finally came to the back door of a relatively remote palace.
A stone gate about three feet wide was built here, on which ferocious beasts such as Pixiu, Suan Ni and Taotie were carved.
There are more than a dozen Yulin guards guarding both sides of the gate, each of them armed with weapons and armor.
"By the order of the Emperor, I am taking the Chen County man into the secret treasury to search for treasures." As the old eunuch spoke, he showed his token.
The Habayashi guard who was on duty quickly bowed and saluted when he saw the token.
The old eunuch walked to the door and gently placed the token on the stone door.
In an instant, the treasure light on the door circulated, and the carved beast seemed to come to life, and a fierce aura filled the air.
Of course, ordinary people cannot detect this aura, and even the Yulin guards who are guarding it can only sense it slightly.
Those who lack strength may not be able to detect even the impending disaster.
"Boom!" The wide stone door automatically opened to the left and right, revealing a long and narrow corridor.
The corridor is inlaid with pearls to provide lighting.
The old eunuch stepped into it, followed closely by Chen Mo.
"His Majesty has never let anyone come to this secret treasury in a while. Today he specially asked me to bring Mr. Chen County here. It seems that His Majesty values you very much."
The old eunuch was smiling and his tone was very easy-going.
The corridor is very long and narrow, and the old eunuch's steps are not fast.
Along the way, he and Chen Mo talked a lot about the secret treasury. This secret treasury was built by Taizu of this dynasty, and the things stored inside were all collected by the emperors of the past dynasties.
There are countless rare and rare objects in existence.
The entire inner treasury is divided into four floors. Today, the emperor did not say which level of the secret treasury Chen Mo should go to.
Except for the emperor's private collection stored on the last floor, Chen Mo can choose at will from the other three floors.
After walking for more than ten feet in the corridor, Chen Mo could clearly feel that along the way, they were now at least three feet underground.
After walking a few feet, the vision suddenly opened up.
A warehouse covering an area of more than ten acres and filled with various shelves appeared in front of him.
These shelves are made of stone, and there is a formation to ensure that the place will not get wet, so even if hundreds of years have passed, they will still be strong.
There are labels on each stone shelf, clearly describing the purpose of each secret treasure in this secret vault, making it easier for those who come to collect treasures to choose.
Obviously, this secret vault is often taken care of, and all kinds of treasures are kept very neatly.
"The treasures on the first floor of this secret vault are all stored here. Further in, there are the second and third floors. You can choose whatever you want. Just let me know when you have made your choice."
The old eunuch said as he sat down at an inconspicuous desk nearby.
There is also a ledger with pen and ink on the desk. If anyone takes treasures from here, they must be recorded in the book.
Chen Mo didn't stay on the first floor any longer and went straight to the third floor, where the rarest treasures were stored.
If you can't find what you like on the third level, go to the second level yourself.
Walking all the way to the door of the secret vault on the third floor, Chen Mo couldn't help but stop. He found a treasure that suited his liking.
It was a giant hammer made of special material, shining with the light of jade glass. The hammer head was the size of a basin, and the hammer handle was about three feet long, about the thickness of an adult's wrist.
The handle of the hammer is inlaid with seven agate gems of different colors. The gems have the power of heaven and earth flowing through them. It is quite extraordinary at first glance.
There is also a brief introduction next to this giant hammer.
This hammer is called the Giant Spirit Hammer. It was originally a pair, but the other one was accidentally lost.
If it is a pair, then this hammer can even be placed on the third floor of the secret vault.
The hammer itself weighs 500 kilograms, and it is inlaid with seven Xuanshan heavy earth and stone. Warriors can use internal energy to stimulate it. Every time one is stimulated, the hammer will weigh another 100 kilograms.
If fully stimulated, the total weight of this giant spirit hammer will reach 1,200 kilograms. Not only that, using this hammer against the enemy, the power of the heavy mountain can suppress the opponent.
In simple terms, every time this hammer is hit, the opponent can be bound by a heavy mountain force.
Whether the opponent spends energy to break the bondage or acts under pressure, it will have a certain weakening effect on it.
From this point of view, this is indeed a good treasure. The only pity is that there is one missing.
However, Chen Mo took it away decisively, as he just needed a hammer.
In this way, this giant hammer could be considered a pair with the silver-white mirage hammer in his hand.
Although the effect of the one in his hand was slightly worse, it was not lacking in weight for the time being, so it was suitable.
After taking the giant hammer, he strode into the third floor of the secret vault.
