Chen Mo stood beside the carriage and looked at the cavalry in the distance. The cavalry who came were not very elite. There were only more than a hundred cavalry, and each one was wearing light armor.

The leader should be quite strong. He could at least activate the eyes of blood. From a distance, he could see that the carriage behind Chen Mo belonged to the royal family alone.

"Your Highness, this should be the Imperial Guards." Chen Mo stood beside the carriage and spoke slowly.

The curtains of the carriage were opened, revealing a young face, looking at the imperial troops galloping in from a distance.

As time went by, although he still felt scared, he gradually came back to his senses.

The Forbidden Army ran extremely fast, sending up smoke and dust from a distance, and it didn't take long before they arrived in front of the carriage.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the cavalry capital of the sixth-grade imperial army. I dare to ask you who you are. This carriage is the carriage and horse used by the imperial palace. I wonder if there is anyone in the carriage now."

The leader of these one hundred cavalrymen was tall, strong, dark-skinned, and had an overly thick beard.

"I am Chen Mo, the head of the Salt Transportation Department of Xingyuan Prefecture, seventh rank of the imperial court. I was ordered to go to the capital. On the way, I met the eldest prince who was being chased by thieves.

There were two thieves, one was killed by me, and the other was captured here. Your Highness is now safe and well. "

Chen Mo once again showed the official seal of the transfer order as proof.

Ma Jianxin turned over and dismounted, looking at the acquired strong man who was tightly bound.

"May I ask if the other imperial guards who are protecting the eldest prince are here?" He bowed his hands from a distance and asked in confusion.

"No, they were all killed by the two thieves." Chen Mo slowly shook his head.

"Gu's guards were all killed by the two thieves. It was General Chen who showed up and saved Gu's life." The eldest prince Zhao Renmin walked out of the carriage and said bravely.

His voice was not loud, but Ma Jianxin heard clearly.

He knew that among the guards around the eldest prince, there must be more than one Perfect Tongmai Mirror warrior.

The fact that the two thieves could kill the imperial guards so easily meant that one of them must be an acquired warrior, or even both of them.

However, Chen Mo was able to kill a thief and capture another alive.

This shows that his strength is definitely not bad, and there is a high probability that he will become a strong person.

However, seventh-grade officials must be strong the day after tomorrow.

These two concepts could never be equated in Ma Jianxin's mind.

If Chen Moruo is really an acquired power, how could he be a seventh-grade official? This is completely impossible. At the very least, he must be a fifth-grade guard.

This is the official position that he could only achieve if he was ostracized in the officialdom, had no connections, no popularity, and even offended others.

Otherwise, a normal acquired martial artist would never be able to only sit in the fifth rank official position.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine how Chen Mo could be a seventh-grade official!

"Then I dare to ask this general how strong these two thieves are, so I can report them." Ma Jianxin's attitude was very humble. Although Chen Mo's official position was not as good as his, he was not arrogant at all.

Because he understood that if Chen Mo was really a strong man the day after tomorrow and saved the eldest prince.

Not to mention that he is now a seventh-rank official in the imperial court. Even if he does not have any official position, as long as he wants to be an official, he can surpass himself at any time.

"These two thieves are both Houtian warriors. The specific level is unknown. I have used my inner energy to seal all the acupoints and meridians of this person. There is no need to worry that he will burst out and hurt others."

Chen Mo stretched out his hand and pointed at the Houtian strongman who was thrown to the ground.

Ma Jianxin nodded. He still hasn't figured out why Chen Mo is only a seventh-grade official despite his acquired strength.

Is it possible that the strength has improved too quickly and the official position has not been promoted?

This shouldn't be the case. No matter how fast he can improve, no matter how talented he is, it will take more than ten years to cultivate from sensing inner energy to the acquired state. How can he not have time to improve his official position?

Although Ma Jianxin couldn't figure it out, he knew what he should do now.

He waved his hand to the side and gave the order, and a buzzing arrow was shot high into the sky.

In any case, although he did not personally save the eldest prince this time, he was the first to find him, so he deserves some credit.

"Your Highness, we and the Imperial Army are all searching outside now. Support will arrive in a few moments. You can rest assured." Ma Jianxin bowed and saluted.

"General, I have to ask you to take care of this prisoner temporarily." Immediately, he saluted Chen Mo again.

He really didn't want to take care of this acquired thief. If he couldn't control one of them, he would commit suicide even if he didn't escape.

The important person was interpreted as having some connection with these thieves, so he helped him commit suicide.

At that time, his crotch will be covered with yellow mud, and it will be either shit or shit.

The prince was attacked and killed, which was a major crime against the nine clans.

If you don't have the ability to guard this thief, don't try to compete for this credit. In the end, you might end up involving your entire family.

As the sound of arrows was fired, several groups of cavalry arrived one after another. Ma Jianxin stepped forward and explained the situation to them.

The cavalry commanders, after learning about Chen Mo's situation, all looked at him with extremely puzzled and surprised looks.

Obviously, like Ma Jianxin, they couldn't figure out why Chen Mo only had a seventh-grade official position since he had acquired strength.

However, they soon realized that this look was a bit rude, so they all smiled and showed their kindness to Chen Mo.

They understood that no matter what Chen Mo had been like before, but now that he had saved the eldest prince and his own strength was not bad, his career would definitely skyrocket in the future, which was far beyond their reach.

Chen Mo also smiled at them and responded. At least there is no conflict of interest between them now, so everyone's attitude is relatively friendly.

From the attitude of these cavalry commanders, Chen Mo could vaguely feel that nothing major happened in the capital.

It seems that the disappearance of the eldest prince is the most important thing at the moment.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, due to the status of these people, they are not qualified to know until the dust settles.

After waiting in place for about two-quarters of an hour, another person led hundreds of cavalry and hurriedly arrived.

This man was wearing the robe of a fourth-grade military attache. The divine horse under his crotch was completely blood-red, and there seemed to be a hot breath flowing around him as he galloped. He was definitely a rare horse.

"My escort is late. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

The man got off his horse, came to the carriage, and bowed down.

He is about forty years old, with an upright face and a brave spirit. It is obvious at a glance that he has extraordinary strength and must have been on the battlefield for a long time.

"It doesn't matter, I love you." Zhao Renmin leaned out from the carriage and said.

Chen Mo stepped forward again and explained the situation to the fourth-grade military attaché.

"You mean, you killed an acquired warrior and captured an acquired warrior alive." Lu Chuan's tone was slightly doubtful, and it seemed that he was also confused.

If Chen Moruo has acquired strength and is still so young, why is he only a seventh-grade official?

"That's right. This is my transfer order. Please read it, sir." Chen Mo took out the transfer order document that he had kept in his arms.

Lu Chuan took it and looked at it carefully before handing it back to Chen Mo.

"Your Highness, please follow me back to the capital." Lu Chuan looked at the eldest prince Zhao Renmin and said solemnly.

"No need, let General Chen escort the orphan." Zhao Renmin said.

Obviously, he trusted Chen Mo who had just saved his life more than the unknown fourth-grade military attache in front of him.

"Protect your highness." Lu Chuan casually told Chen Mo, then turned and left.

With his status, he can get more information.

He naturally understood that at the age of the eldest prince, he must sneak out of the palace.

Then why did he come out? Given his age and status, there was no way he could slip out of the palace so easily. Who would help him along the way? Did someone deliberately lead it out?

How did the gang of thieves know his route of action? How long have they been planning this?

These questions, no matter which one you investigate, will result in rivers of blood and heads.

This matter is too deep, so it's best for you to just fulfill your duties and not get involved in other things.

This is the way to protect yourself, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults.

Thousands of cavalry surrounded the two carriages and protected them firmly.

Chen Mo drove his horse ahead, while Zhao Renmin held his sleeve tightly and refused to let him go.

Zhao Yu followed Chen Mo in her carriage. Thousands of cavalry were running around, but she showed no fear.

The thief captured by Chen Mo earlier was hastily bandaged and was personally taken care of by Lu Chuan.

The cavalry did not run very fast. After walking for more than an hour, they arrived near the city gate.

The walls of the capital city are very tall. At first glance, they are more than twenty feet high and seven or eight feet wide, allowing three carriages to run parallel to each other.

The city gate tower is even taller, and there are many towers and archery towers built on the left and right sides to protect the entire city airtight.

This is definitely a majestic city.

The city walls are covered with mottled spots left by years of wind and rain, as well as marks from swords and spears left by powerful enemies when they attacked the city.

Chen Mo also saw a knife mark with a diameter of more than five feet and a width of seven feet.

Not only that, he could feel that even though a long time had passed, this knife mark was still exuding a vicious aura.

There should be a large number of formations arranged by Qi Refiners on the city wall, so this knife mark can be suppressed.

Therefore, only a warrior of Chen Mo's level could vaguely feel the tyrannical aura of this knife mark.

Other passers-by didn't notice it at all and just thought it was an ordinary knife mark.

The city has long been under martial law and sealed tightly everywhere.

Lu Chuan rode his horse forward to report, and then the two city gates, which together were nearly thirty feet wide, slowly opened.

With such a majestic city gate, there are eighteen gates in the entire outer city of the capital, so that they can meet the needs of this city.

Driving the horse slowly into the city, there were no pedestrians on the streets and the whole journey was smooth.

After passing through the outer city, the carriage arrived in front of the inner city.

Different from the market towns or counties that Chen Mo had visited before, the population in those places was relatively small. Even if there were dignitaries, they could only live in a few streets. It was not worth building a separate inner city.

The capital city has a population of several million, covers an extremely vast area, has high-ranking officials, and has many wealthy families.

Therefore, the division of inner and outer cities was formed.

A strong and towering city wall clearly separates the inner and outer cities.

Ordinary people and lower-ranking officials could only live in the outer city.

Only truly aristocratic families and high-ranking lords are qualified to live in the inner city.

The carriage passed through the inner city leisurely and finally arrived in front of the palace city.

This is the entire capital city, and it can even be said to be the most central and important place in the entire Daqian.

Correction: The previous chapter has been revised and the age of the eldest prince has been changed to eight years old.

I hope all book friends will know this.
