Chapter 150 Entering the Palace Again, Is the Emperor Faking His Death?

Chen Mo took out the Qi Jue Bow from his storage bag and used his true energy to activate the treasure bow. The bow's treasure light shone brightly, resonating with the power of heaven and earth.

As an acquired martial artist, Zhao Wen could naturally sense this power, and immediately turned to look at Chen Mo, his face full of horror and confusion.

He remembered that although his general was much stronger than him, his previous cultivation realm seemed to be the acquired realm.

Why did he suddenly disappear and then reappear with innate cultivation? This improvement was too fast.

Or maybe he was swallowed by the white mist before, and had a great opportunity in the process, so he was able to break through!

This was undoubtedly the most likely. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of what could make Chen Mo break through the innate realm.

However, he only felt envious of this, not jealous.

No matter how big his butt is and how big his pants are, Zhao Wen understands how big the strength gap between himself and Chen Mo is.

If he goes in, he will get a chance. It's hard to say whether he can come back alive if he goes in.

After all, there are two innate warriors who have not returned yet, not to mention myself, an acquired warrior.

"call out!"

The feather arrows formed by the true energy broke through the air and shot towards the chasing cavalry.

"Everyone, follow me and charge into the formation!" Chen Mo shouted loudly, took out the horned dragon spear, and rushed out at the lead.

The reason why he didn't use the hammer was because he didn't want to hurt the armored horses.

Kill all these people, and they can ride the horses directly.

Zheng Ying is very strong, but there is a gap between nature and nurture, and not everyone is able to cross it.

Chen Mo has both internal and external skills, and his own combat power is far superior to those of the same level.

Zheng Ying could feel from a distance how much majestic power the feathered arrow condensed by true energy carried.

"I'm willing to surrender!" Without a moment's hesitation, he abandoned his weapon, dismounted from his horse, and knelt down to surrender.

His movements were so smooth that the people around him could not help but be stunned.

This was so fast that they didn't even react. Some of them were still holding weapons and charging forward on their horses. When they heard their leader shouting surrender, they were stunned and didn't know what to do.

"We were ordered by King Ping Xi to go out of the city to protect the Queen and His Highness. We definitely have no intention of harming the Queen and His Highness!"

Zheng Ying shouted loudly. He was physically strong and his voice was naturally loud enough.

Although he was obeying orders under King Pingxi's tent, he was really shocked when he received this order.

Go out of the city to search for the whereabouts of the prince and queen, and invite them back to the city.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a good thing.

If something went wrong between the queen and the prince on the way, he would definitely die.

What's more, he can also guess the purpose of King Pingxi. Although he is not a loyal and good man, he does not want to be a traitor.

His original plan was to go out of the city to deal with people casually, and then go back to do business.

Therefore, he always deliberately controlled the speed of his cavalry and never let them go too fast.

I never expected that I would actually meet the Queen and His Royal Highness.

Not only that, there was an innate warrior guard beside the two of them.

So Zheng Ying reacted quickly and surrendered first no matter what, and then had room for explanation.

Otherwise, if the innately strong man really takes action, not only will his death be in vain, but he will also have to bear the reputation of being a traitor in the future.

When Chen Mo heard this, the feather arrow he shot immediately passed over Zheng Ying's horse and headed straight for the distant capital.

Seeing him surrender so decisively and smoothly, Chen Mo couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, but he stopped taking action instead of continuing.

Zheng Ying felt happy when she saw this, and breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if she didn't take any more action, at least giving herself a chance to explain.

"My family has been loyal and loyal for generations, even though I obeyed the orders of King Pingxi.

But he was absolutely only loyal to the emperor of the country, and King Pingxi had always had little trust in his ministers. "

As Zheng Ying spoke, he stood up, threw himself on a cavalryman beside him, and restrained him with three or two punches.

Seeing that the cavalryman was restrained, several other cavalrymen wanted to escape, but they were surrounded by the other cavalrymen.

"This person is the spy arranged by King Pingxi to monitor the ministers. He is willing to kill this person to show his determination."

After the words fell, he took off the short knife from his waist and stabbed the warrior with all his strength.

The warrior also had the full strength of Tongmai. At this time, he tried his best to resist, but he was far from Zheng Ying's opponent and was easily killed by him.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that this person was dead that Zheng Ying's anxious heart finally calmed down.

He was born with a strong body and a strong body, but that didn't mean his brain was not good.

Of course he could guess why King Pingxi arranged for someone to monitor him when he went out to search for the queen and the prince.

The purpose was to find an opportunity to directly kill the prince, and then put all the blame on himself, and then bury himself and his brothers in the nine tribes with the prince. All of this was justified.

By that time, he had become a treacherous official with a long-lasting reputation, while King Pingxi was actually a loyal and good man of the court.

He is not a die-hard loyalist to King Pingxi, unlike the Tongmai warrior who monitors him and is willing to risk his life and fortune to serve him.

"Okay, I am indeed loyal and good." Chen Mo smiled and spoke loudly.

He now believes in Zheng Ying's words, regardless of whether he was loyal or not before.

But now that he has killed a warrior as a declaration of surrender, it may be difficult for King Pingxi to trust him again.

Hearing this, Zheng Ying immediately stood up and bowed down, "Sir, those people are all soldiers of King Pingxi. Do you want to kill them too?"

"Keep one alive." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Zheng Ying quickly winked at his cronies, but in an instant, only one of the cavalrymen who had tried to escape was left behind.

"General, the person who was killed was the personal guard of King Pingxi. What Zheng Ying said is probably true." Zhao Wen walked to Chen Mo again and reported in a low voice.

Until this moment, he still couldn't believe that Chen Mo was an innate strong man, but he knew that Qi would not lie.

What's more, this is a good thing. This way, they don't have to be too afraid if there is an innate strong person sitting in charge, even if it is King Pingxi.

"All cavalrymen dismount and clear the way for the Queen and the Crown Prince." Chen Mo stepped forward and ordered loudly.

Although what Zheng Ying did made it completely impossible for him to serve King Pingxi again, Chen Mo still did not fully trust him.

They were only allowed to clear the way ahead, and the people who were really responsible for protecting the royal chariot were still the Imperial Guards.

Of course Zheng Ying also knew about this situation and honestly led his cronies at the forefront.

"Mother, please go back to the carriage and rest first, and the carriage will be driven by the minister."

Chen Mo walked back to the imperial carriage and spoke warmly.

"Excuse me, General Chen." Empress Xu smiled lightly, twisted her body, and walked into the carriage.

Chen Mo drove the car, and many Yulin guards rode horses.

The next journey is relatively safe. Now it is only seventy or eighty miles away from the palace city. At the speed of Chen Mo and others, it will only take more than an hour.

There were other cavalrymen on the way, searching for traces of the queen and prince, but no one dared to approach them when they saw this situation, and most of them guarded them from a distance.

Everyone knows that this is a pool of muddy water, and no one wants to wander into it.

Except for King Pingxi's cronies, the vast majority of court officials were still loyal to the emperor and the country.

Although he didn't dare to stand up and express his disobedience at this time, most of his ideas were actually not much different from Zheng Ying's, which was just perfunctory.

Escorted by many soldiers, Chen Mo drove into the capital.

Now they are safe.

The queen and the prince could die from drowning, from disease, or even from strangulation with a rope or from wind and cold.

But he must not be killed in the street in the city. The impact would be too great.

It was okay outside the city before, but if he did it directly in front of everyone in the city, no matter how hard he washed the history books, he couldn't clean King Ping Xi.

The son of a rich man will not die in the market.

This is an unspoken rule. If he really does this, it will not be a conspiracy to usurp power, but a rebellion.

At that time, all the civil and military officials in the court who have not taken a stand, and even the royal family will oppose his lineage's succession to the throne.

Chen Mo drove the carriage all the way to the inner city.

On the wall of the inner city, a thin, middle-aged man wearing a black imperial uniform was staring at Chen Mo.

His eyes were extremely dark, showing no emotion or anger.

Chen Mo couldn't help but frown when he saw this. His physical body was powerful and flawless. In terms of sensing other people's auras, even innate warriors might not be able to match him.

At this moment, he could vaguely sense a very unpleasant aura from King Pingxi. It was definitely not an aura that a normal living person could have.

Instead of looking deeply at each other, Chen Mo rode into the inner city.

The Chinese general standing behind King Pingxi watched the carriage drive into the city again, his expression unchanged, but thousands of thoughts flashed through his heart.

Without his help, how could the carriage leave the city so easily? However, after finally getting out, it is now back.

He had also met Chen Mo, and he knew something about him from his subordinates.

I know that although this person is young, he works calmly and will never be greedy for success.

No matter how you look at it, there should be no connection between him and King Pingxi.

Then why did he bring the Queen and His Royal Highness back?

Doesn't he know that situation? That's absolutely impossible. Even if he doesn't know, the Queen also knows. If he wants to come back, the Queen will definitely object.

Under such circumstances, the Queen and His Royal Highness still followed him back, which shows that he definitely has something to convince the Queen.

So it seems that Chen Mo probably has a trump card.

However, in a blink of an eye, what the general of the Chinese army had deduced was generally close to the truth.

Walking into the palace, Chen Mo turned over and jumped off the carriage, took out the tiger talisman and said loudly, "The tiger talisman is here. The Yulin Guards will follow my orders and all guards will protect the ancestral temple."

When the emperor dies, he will not be buried immediately, but will be buried.

Ordinary civilians will have to rest for seven days, scholars and officials will have to wait for seven days, and princes will have to wait for five to seven days.

The emperor wanted to rest for seven or forty-nine days before being buried.

During this period, there is a national mourning. Whether the new emperor ascends the throne or the queen mother is to be crowned, one has to wait for forty-nine days to pass before choosing an auspicious day.

Previously, if the emperor left a posthumous edict, the prince named in the edict would temporarily assume the military and political power of the court. After the period of national mourning passed, he would ascend the throne.

But if there is no edict, then until the specific successor is discussed, these powers will be temporarily vacant and no one can control it.

King Pingxi tore up the edict because he wanted to use this time to deal with the queen and the prince and elect a new emperor.

But as long as the national mourning is over, then according to the rules, the prince should naturally succeed.

Therefore, during this period of time, King Pingxi will definitely use all means, either to directly deal with the queen and the prince, or to use the lack of an edict to find a way to dethrone the prince and choose a new emperor.

Chen Mo doesn't need to do much. He just needs to protect the stability of Queen Xu and the prince and ensure that no one will do anything to abolish the establishment. Time is on his side.

…………

The place where the emperor's coffin rests is in the Ancestral Temple according to the rules of Daqian.

Chen Moliang used the Tiger Talisman to not only mobilize the Yulin Guards, but also use it to control some of the formations in the palace.

If all these formations are activated, if a strong person breaks into them, although the formations are not enough to directly kill and suppress them, they can delay time.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness. We've arrived at the palace city, and it's time to go to the Ancestral Temple to keep vigil." Chen Mo opened the curtain and spoke softly.

As the emperor's wife and children, according to the rules, they also have to keep vigil for the emperor in the Ancestral Temple.

Civil and military officials and even the people in the city do not have to keep vigil at all times, but during this period, according to the rules, alcohol, marriage, and sexual immorality are prohibited. Other than that, there are not many requirements.

"Min'er, follow your mother." Queen Xu's eyes were slightly red, and she led Zhao Huaimin down from the carriage.

In the Ancestral Temple, many princes, princesses and dozens of concubines from the harem were keeping vigil. Some were wailing, while others were shedding tears silently.

The emperor's coffin was placed in the Ancestral Temple. Chen Mo's eyes were filled with blood, and he stepped forward and bowed before saying, "Your Majesty, I'm late!"

As he spoke, he took another step forward, his true energy vibrated, and he quietly opened a corner of the coffin.

There was definitely something hidden behind the emperor's death. He wanted to take a closer look at the emperor's body.

However, at this glance, Chen Mo realized something was wrong.

Inside the coffin lies the body of an acquired perfection warrior, and his appearance is exactly the same as that of today's Emperor.

But the problem is that this is the smell of the corpse, and it doesn't look like today!

The author knows that everyone has a strong response to the recent plot, but many plots cannot be written in one day. I also hope that you can give me some time to let me perform well.

Of course, I also know that the main reason is that I update less.

But with 6,000 words per day, the author has really tried his best. If I can update a little more, I will definitely try my best to update.

Thank you all!
