In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

Chen Mo was suspicious and didn't understand why the other party asked this question, but he still replied, "General Sun is my adoptive father."

Lu Chuan nodded when he heard this, without saying much, he suddenly walked towards the main courtyard.

Chen Mo waved his hand to the servant to close the door, and followed Lu Chuan.

All the way to the brightly lit main courtyard, there were already maids waiting in the dining room.

Chen Mo dismissed the remaining servants, and there were only two of them left in the huge dining room.

"Whether your adoptive father and I are old acquaintances or the same age, if we talk about it carefully, you still have to call me Uncle Lu."

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lu Chuan relaxed with a tense face.

"Uncle Lu, why did you come to see this junior today?" Chen Mo was still quite confused about this.

"Do you know what happened in the capital these days?" Lu Chuan asked in a solemn voice.

Seeing Chen Mo shaking his head slightly, he continued to speak, "Some time ago, powerful demons invaded, and some demon thieves united with foreigners to assassinate Your Majesty.

Although the assassination was unsuccessful, His Majesty has been in seclusion since then to recuperate from his injuries. He has not been out of seclusion for a long time and has not even appeared in court.

It was also around that time that His Majesty teased his adoptive father and the guards of many state capitals to lead troops to Beijing.

As a result, as soon as you entered the capital, you met the eldest prince who was attacked and killed. At the age of the eldest prince, he must have sneaked out of the imperial city, and someone must have helped him. "

After Lu Chuan said this, he sighed softly. This matter was too deep.

From the assassination of His Majesty to the attack on the First Prince, no matter which one happened, it was a major event for Jingvatian.

Especially when there was news that His Majesty was assassinated and was seriously injured. However, at this time, the eldest prince was deceived into leaving the city, and there were even more powerful people who wanted to kill him.

No need to think about it, this matter must have been planned for a long time, at least the preparations started not long after His Majesty was assassinated.

As for whether these two things may be related to each other, it is even harder to say.

Although nothing major has happened yet, Lu Chuan seems to be able to see what will happen in the capital in a few days.

"Devil? Where are the demons so strong? The imperial court failed to destroy them?" Chen Mo's tone was slightly doubtful. Except for the Dutian Dao Sect, he had never come into contact with any demon monks.

Even the Dutian Dao Sect cannot be considered a demon in a strict sense. It can only be said that they want to rebel, so they are a demon.

If they are willing to cooperate with the court, then Dutian Dao Sect can also be the right path.

There are two types of so-called demons. One is a real evil heretic who often hurts people's lives and acts without scruples. Some even use living people as material for practice.

This is a real evil way, and everyone shouts to beat it. Regardless of the imperial family, Jianghu sect, as long as they see this kind of evil way, they will take action to destroy it.

The other one is going against the imperial court. No matter what their style is, in Daqian they are the devil.

"This group of demons comes from Luantian Valley, or in other words, all the demons that were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court but were not completely eliminated are hiding there.

Many of them have strong hatred for Daqian and today's emperor. This time they cooperated with foreigners again, so they dared to take risks and came to assassinate the king. "

Lu Chuan sighed when he said this. Demonic ways are not a concern. If they were really strong enough, they would not have been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court into Luantian Valley.

But the strength of the alien race is indeed not weak, otherwise they would not have been able to conquer them all for so many years.

Of course, there was another guess in Lu Chuan's mind, that is, His Majesty was assassinated intentionally.

And even though he was fine after being assassinated, he kept pretending to be seriously ill in order to take this opportunity to attract the rebels and more demonic thieves in the court.

It's just that before these people are lured out, some people can't control their inner greed and take desperate risks to seize the heir.

Of course, these are all his guesses and cannot be confirmed to be true, so he will not tell Chen Mo.

"How is His Majesty's condition now? Uncle Lu, do you have any news?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

By far, the most critical point is whether His Majesty is healthy.

If he is not seriously injured or recovers from his injuries, many heads will fall next.

On the contrary, if His Majesty is really seriously injured and succumbs to treatment, he may even die.

Then the entire capital city and the entire Daqian will most likely fall into turmoil and chaos.

The eldest prince's faction will definitely have a fierce fight with the faction that wants to kill the eldest prince.

"I went to inquire today, but I couldn't find any information. The palace was under martial law and I couldn't even enter.

When I asked other people, including my immediate boss, General Zhongjun, I couldn't get any information. "

Lu Chuan looked solemn and shook his head slowly.

The general of the Chinese army, with an official rank of up to the second rank, is regarded as a high-ranking and extremely popular minister.

Because according to the common practice of Daqian, first-grade official positions are generally not awarded actually, but are only used for posthumous titles.

The general of the central army can nominally be in charge of all the forbidden troops, but in fact, in most cases, he can only mobilize the capital's forbidden troops.

If he really wanted to mobilize the imperial troops in the remaining acropolis, he would have to get the emperor's order to do so.

Even so, being able to take charge of the Imperial Guard in the capital shows that His Majesty trusts this person.

But even the general of the Chinese army did not know any information, which is enough to show the seriousness of this matter. Of course, he might know it, but he didn't want to reveal it to Lu Chuan.

But no matter what, it is enough to see that this matter is still unresolved and there is no concrete result yet.

“I came here today to tell you that saving the eldest prince in your capacity is very good, and you have merit in any case.

But if someone tries to win over you, don't do anything.

Only in this way, no matter what the future situation is, you will have merit and no fault. "

Lu Chuan spoke earnestly and explained in an extremely serious manner.

If Chen Mo was not Sun Shouren's adopted son, he would never say these words today.

Because once Chen Mo takes a stand and expresses his stance, in the eyes of others, he basically represents Sun Shouren's choice.

Yes, Chen Mo's official position is indeed not high, but he can't stand up to his strength.

A master who can kill other acquired warriors with ease, no matter what his level is, his combat power is definitely comparable to that of acquired perfection.

Without the innate warriors and golden elixir cultivators showing up, Houtian Perfection was already the top strong man in the world.

This strong man's statement is very important in itself.

He was not familiar with Chen Mo, but he didn't want to see his old friend dragged into the water.

The water in this matter is too deep and too muddy. It may not be a good thing to get involved hastily before we understand it clearly.

"This junior understands that from now on, this junior will stay in this house to practice and will never care about other matters."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and answered with a smile.

Lu Chuan was indeed right. He saved the eldest prince, which was his undisputed credit.

No matter how the fight goes on, even if the prince who wants to attack the eldest prince's faction really ascends to the throne, Chen Mo will have to be rewarded heavily.

After all, he saved the prince and fulfilled the duty of a minister. No matter who becomes the emperor, he will want to see such a minister.

So now I just sit tight on Diaoyutai and wait for things to come to an end.

If you take the initiative to mix it again, it will be risky.

"It's good if you understand." Lu Chuan nodded lightly.

He immediately changed the topic and talked with Chen Mo about the characteristics of the capital and some things to pay attention to when entering the capital for the first time.

Chen Mo then ordered the maid to serve cold dishes first, and then open two jars of good wine that his adoptive father kept in this mansion to entertain Lu Chuan.

After three rounds of wine, the food tastes delicious.

Lu Chuan's face turned red, and he held Chen Mo's hand and asked another question.

"My dear nephew, how come you are only a seventh-rank official with your acquired skills? Didn't Lao Sun write to the court to recommend you? This shouldn't be the case."

Lu Chuan was obviously confused about this matter.

Although practicing martial arts can delay aging, since Chen Mo worships Sun Shouren as his adoptive father, he must be much younger than Sun Shouren.

This shows that Chen Mo's talent is really very good, even for those who are the cultivation seeds of the top sects of aristocratic families.

He started to lay the foundation for cultivation when he was five or six years old. By Chen Mo's age, he would probably be in the acquired state at best.

There will be no more than thirty top geniuses like this in the entire Daqian era.

However, Lu Chuan knew that Chen Mo's talent was definitely much more than that.

He certainly did not come from a wealthy family and had no sect to rely on. After all, if he had these, why would he worship Sun Shouren as his adoptive father?

Without sufficient resources and guidance from famous teachers, Chen Mo was still able to achieve acquired cultivation at this age, which is even more evident of his talent.

Let alone Daqian's generation, there may not be anyone who can compare with him in hundreds of years.

As long as nothing happens to Chen Mo, the innate realm will be a matter of time.

This is why he came specifically to advise Chen Mo not to rush to take a stand.

Next, various factions will definitely want to win over him, because winning over him will not only win over an acquired warrior, but also win over a future innate powerhouse.

"It's a long story. This junior's cultivation level has just been broken not long ago, but I have both internal and external cultivation, and my strength is slightly stronger than ordinary acquired powerhouses.

I was always busy in charge of salt transportation, so my adoptive father didn't know that I had broken through the acquired realm. "

Chen Mo smiled and reluctantly gave an explanation.

The explanation doesn't have to make perfect sense because no one is going to look into it.

Even if you check carefully, you can't find that Chen Mo came from Qingzhou, and there are few living people in Qingzhou now.

But there is another flaw, that is, I have to find a way to see my adoptive father first and discuss the matter with him.

Otherwise, I have been cultivating since I was a child, and now I have an acquired state and can still explain it.

But if it takes only two years of practice, it would seem a bit too unreasonable.

But even if it is completely exposed, the problem is not very big.

Unless there is a life-or-death feud, no force would suddenly become angry and offend a strong man whose real combat power is as good as the acquired perfection.

For such powerful people, even those with innate warriors, the main focus is to win over and make friends.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo dares to expose his own strength. With his current strength, although he is not the best in the world, he is still first-rate.

What's more, Chen Mo was an official of the imperial court and even saved the eldest prince's life. Unless the prince really died that day, no one would dare to touch him easily.

Because anyone who dares to touch him may be suspected by the Emperor of whether he is connected with the force that kidnapped and killed the eldest prince.

"I see, that's it." Lu Chuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

During a banquet, the two parties had a lively conversation. Chen Mo sent Lu Chuan outside again before going back to the house to rest.

Two days later, Sun Shouren still had not arrived, but Mo Hu arrived in the capital first.

Chen Mo rushed to the capital after receiving the news from his adoptive father, and he would naturally receive it after a few days.

It's just that he got the news later and had a longer way to go, so he wasn't as fast as Chen Mo.

In addition, he did not come alone, there were more than a dozen soldiers accompanying him.

Compared with Chen Mo, the head of the Salt Transportation Department, he has superiors and colleagues in the Taxation Department, so there will naturally be people to take over the things he doesn't do.

Therefore, his personal soldiers can naturally be mobilized to accompany him to the capital.

Three days later, the palace city was no longer under martial law, and news came that a large court meeting would be held in five days. All officials in Beijing, regardless of their rank, would attend the court meeting.

There is no doubt that the news can be spread to prove one thing, that is, today there is no fear of life.

Not only is everything fine, but I also have enough energy to deal with government affairs.

Even if he was really seriously injured, his injury would be stable even if it wasn't healed.

If he is fine, then the person who dared to attack and kill the eldest prince should be fine.

In fact, before the news came out, some high-ranking officials discovered that their colleagues suddenly disappeared.

Until the news of the Great Court Meeting came out, many officials were still taken away by the Sky Patrol Guards for investigation.

In the inner city, more than a dozen households were collectively sealed off by the patrol guards.

For a time, bursts of crying and howling resounded from morning to night in the dark cell where criminals were held at the Patrol Guard Station.

This matter involves too much, and everyone involved, regardless of their status and power, is from the Yi tribe at the end of the day.

It can also be seen from this that today's people are definitely not bad at skills, otherwise they would not be able to do these things so neatly.

These situations are no longer secret in the city, and almost all officials, big and small, are almost aware of it.

The reason is simple, because so many people have been captured, this is something that cannot be concealed, and it quickly spreads throughout the capital like a gust of wind, even Chen Mo knows it.

Of course, the vast majority of ordinary people don't care about this, and the struggle above the court has nothing to do with them. At most, they just brag about the mountains, or talk a few words while drinking.

Two days later, the soldiers Mo Hu arranged to observe near the city gate finally received news.

My adoptive father is now only more than twenty miles away from the capital, and he will definitely be able to enter the city before this evening.
