"No ti, squeeze it out even if you have to force it." Chu Yanli squinted and said, "This is a notification, not a negotiation."
With that, he didn’t give any room for rebuttal, and his figure turned into a flash of golden light and vanished.
Lu Shuangge glanced at Chen Mo, hesitated for a mont, and whispered, "Mr. Chen, there’s no need to worry, the Princess won’t act recklessly... should not... Right, my mother read the book you wrote and liked it a lot. Feel free to visit the Lv Mansion when you have ti."
Then he also flew away.
?
Chen Mo fell silent for a mont.
"Mr. Chen..."
"Mr. Chen?"
Amidst a chorus of calls, Chen Mo snapped back to reality.
Looking up, he saw Lin Junxian, who was hanging on the wall, saying with a wry smile, "It was my mistake earlier, causing a misunderstanding. Please don’t take it to heart..."
Although he did not hear the conversation between the two, he witnessed the Princess fondly stroking Chen Mo’s chest, the action was very affectionate.
As the commander of the two powerful armies, Heavenly Phoenix and Xuan Huang, leading troops to repel the Southern Barbarians, and guarding the Southern Border for over a decade, the Princess holds extrely high prestige in the army, almost like a divine presence!
Such a person, akin to a phoenix soaring and dragon flying, naturally wouldn’t lack n around her.
And judging from Chen Mo’s appearance, it wasn’t hard to deduce the relationship between the two.
The Princess had just returned to the capital, and he had a conflict with her favorite minister, no wonder he got speared in the waist... It’s like an old man getting tired of living...
Chen Mo raised his hand, and the Sky Splitting Spear transford into a strear and flew back to his hand.
Without support, Lin Junxian fell to the ground directly, turning pale with pain, nearly fainting.
Chen Mo walked up to him, squatted down, and said indifferently, "Chu Heng and the Military Departnt are closely associated, often transporting contraband into the city. You should be aware of this, right?"
Lin Junxian’s heart skipped a beat, "I..."
"No need to rush your answer." Chen Mo patted his shoulder and said, "First, go back and recuperate well. If you co to an understanding, feel free to find at the Sky Scale Guard... But if you wait for to find you, things won’t be so simple."
Lin Junxian glanced at Chu Heng, swallowed hard.
Chen Mo stood up and said, "Let’s go, escort the criminal back to the Imperial Prison for trial!"
"Yes!"
The people of the Sky Scale Guard wrapped up the corpses on the ground and then escorted the remaining Prince Mansion Guards and Chu Heng towards the gate.
The Imperial Army from the Military Departnt silently cleared a path, watching them depart.
Once the sound of hooves outside the gate faded into the distance, and silence returned to the courtyard, Lin Junxian slumped on the ground, his expression extrely grim, not knowing what to think.
Vice Envoy Yu Yu sighed softly.
He had hinted to Lin Junxian long ago not to get involved in the murky waters of the Prince Yu Mansion.
But this superior was eager to impress the Princely Heir, only to suffer a double loss eventually.
"First, the Princely Heir was beaten to severe injury at the Imperial Music Bureau, and then, not many days later, he led n to assault the Prince Yu Mansion..."
Recalling how he once accused Chen Mo of his "cris" in court, Yu Yu felt a chill up his back.
With the nature of this man to repay enmity with a vengeance, it’s unlikely he’ll let off easy...
...
...
Qilin Pavilion.
In the Book Pavilion, Luo Huaijin sat by the window, sipping tea while browsing through the gazette.
Recently, the state’s affairs in the capital have gradually cald down, allowing him a rare mont of leisure.
Knock, knock, knock—
At this mont, the door to the room knocked.
"Co in," Luo Huaijin called out.
The door opened, and a tall man walked in, none other than Yun He, the Water Departnt Thousand Households.
"I see Mr. Luo," Yun He bowed in greeting.
"No need for formalities."
Luo Huaijin glanced at him and said, "It’s not ti for the governnt yet, you have sothing to discuss?"
"I have a case report," Yun He bowed his head.
Luo Huaijin frowned, "If it’s a case, report to your superior. Overstepping is taboo, don’t you understand this rule?"
Yun He cleared his throat and said, "It’s regarding Chen Mo."
?
Luo Huaijin’s hand shaking with his teacup, he’s becoming reactive to this na, "Who has he killed this ti? Don’t tell it’s Town Patrol Commander Shi Jingxuan? Is that why you ca to over this? Is this guy trying to jump two ranks...?"
Yun He hurriedly waved his hands, "Not at all, Chen Mo caught a suspect today, but this suspect’s identity is sowhat special. Since you also hold the Fire Departnt Thousand Households position, I thought it necessary to inform you..."
"That’s it?"
"I was wondering what the big deal was."
"There’s no need to report such things to . Let Chen Mo handle it."
Luo Huaijin shook his head, took a sip from his tea cup.
As the Commander of the Sky Scale Guard, simultaneously holding the Fire Departnt Thousand Households position, he never inquires about specific matters of the Governnt.
Because he is very clear about his position, he is just filling the spot until next year’s review, and then he can directly hand over the Thousand Households position to Chen Mo.
"No matter how special the identity, is it more notable than Chen Mo? That guy eats from all three houses..."
Yun He softly said, "Chen Mo has captured the Heir of Prince Yu."
"Cough, cough!"
Luo Huaijin nearly spat out his tea, his old face flushing red, "The Heir?!"
"Yes." Yun He tersely said, "Chen Mo led n into the Prince Yu Mansion, killed more than twenty Prince Mansion Guards, severely injured the East City Military Departnt Commander, and then escorted the Princely Heir Chu Heng to the Governnt, where he is now detained in the Imperial Prison."
"..."
Luo Huaijin’s expression stiffened, his mind buzzing.
Killing the Prince Mansion Guards, how is this different from rebellion?!
The turmoil at the Imperial Music Bureau has not yet settled, and just a few days later, this young man has created such a big ss again?!
If a Deputy Thousand Households rebels, how could a part-ti Thousand Households like him have a good outco?
"It’s worth ntioning, Chen Mo has the docunt from the Three Departnts, making his arrest legitimate." Yun He continued, "And the Princess was present, she did not intervene."
"Docunt from the Three Departnts?"
Hearing this, Luo Huaijin finally sighed in relief, glaring at Yun He in irritation, "Can you say everything in one breath? I’m an old man and can’t endure such scares from you!"
"You’re clearly just timid..."
Yun He muttered quietly, not daring to display it openly.
He had reported the news to the Empress as soon as he received it.
By rules, Chen Mo should have inford Luo Huaijin before the arrest, and he was sort of covering for Chen Mo now.
"You just said the Princess was present?" Luo Huaijin cald down and asked with a slight frown.
"Yes."
Yun He hesitated for a mont and said, "It’s said that the Princess was quite close with Chen Mo, even taking the initiative to touch his chest muscles..."
Luo Huaijin: "..."
