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

Chen Mo slowly closed the letter in his hand. He had read it carefully.

Mo Hu found out about Dutian Dao Sect half a month ago. They have been smuggling commercial goods to Xingyuan Mansion recently.

He didn't know exactly what it was, but according to what he said in his letter, according to his investigation, the person who received these goods in Xingyuan Mansion was the Taoist in purple who attacked Mo Dao that day.

As long as this group of people can be caught, they can pull out the carrots and bring them out of the mud, and find the traces of the purple-robed Taoist.

So he wanted to ask Chen Mo to help with the ambush. After the incident was completed, no matter what merchandise the group transported, it would all belong to Chen Mo.

In addition, he gave Chen Mo another two hundred taels of silver as a reward and asked him to help.

If his guess was correct, then it might be because Liu Mingqiao was arrested that Mo Hu was able to find out the Dutiandaomen were smuggling goods.

The transportation of official salt is not subject to the jurisdiction of the tax department, and the tax department has no qualifications to investigate.

During the transportation of official salt, no one is allowed to stop except at the inn along the way, and no one is allowed to block it.

Smuggling in the name of transporting official salt is the safest way, and no one will be able to detect it.

Mo Hu had not found any trace of Dutian Dao Sect before, but he found it more than half a month ago.

Obviously without Liu Mingqiao's help, Dutiandaomen could only use other methods to smuggle commercial goods.

But why does Dutiandao Sect want to smuggle? It’s still such a small-scale smuggling!

Even if they can make some money, it is just a drop in the bucket for them.

Unless the things they smuggle are difficult to see in the light, they are not doing it to make money, but they have to secretly transport the things to Xingyuan Mansion.

Chen Mo took the fire certificate and destroyed the letter in his hand.

You will know for yourself what the Dutian Taoist disciples are transporting.

Since Fifth Brother sent someone to deliver a letter to him and asked him to help, he had no reason not to agree.

What's more, this is just a trivial matter. They won't really face the Taoist in purple, so the risk is not high.

Even if he really faced off against the purple-robed Taoist, with his current strength, it was still unclear who would win and who would lose.

This was Chen Mo's cautious assessment. After all, he had never actually met Taoist Ziyi and only heard about it from Mo Hu.

At least the strength shown by the purple-robed Taoist that day was definitely far inferior to what he is now.

But even so, these immortal cultivators have strange methods, so it's better to be careful when dealing with them.

"I have to go away for a few days to do something. I'll leave tomorrow morning. You see if there is any heavy work to be done at home. I'll do it first."

After destroying the letter, Chen Mo got up and went to find Zhao Yu, telling him that he would be away for a few days, and then said, "There is no need to prepare food for me. I won't be out for long this time, and I will probably be gone on the way." It’s hard to make a fire, just prepare some dry food.”

Zhao Yu thought for a moment, but she didn't ask what Chen Mo was going to do. She knew it was military affairs.

"The water in the water tank is almost gone. Just fill it up later. There's nothing else to do. I'm going to prepare dry food for you. I'll take it with you on the way."

The only heavy work at home is actually filling the water tank, and other tasks are relatively not heavy.

It's not that Zhao Yu can't do this job, but her speed is nowhere near as fast as Chen Mo.

After collecting well water and resting for the night, Chen Mo took over the dry food prepared by Zhao Yu for himself the next day.

There was a lot of dry food, including twenty pork buns the size of an adult's fist, three kilograms of beef jerky, five kilograms of cooked beef, six kilograms of soy sauce beef, and six baked pancakes.

If Chen Mo saves some food, he can still cope with it for two days.

In fact, with his current physical strength, even if he doesn't eat for three to five days, it will not have any impact on him. If he does inedia in a planned way, even one or two months will not be a problem.

The reason why Chen Mo brought so much dry food was mainly because it took a lot of energy to travel. In addition, he also tried his best to ensure that the Shenfanzhu could still replenish his energy and blood while rushing.

Chen Mo was about to leave with the package on his back, and Zhao Yu stood in front of the door to see him off.

"Be careful all the way. I'll wait for you at home." She warned carefully with a smile, but her eyes could not hide the worry.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back." Chen Mo smiled at her, picked up the wrapped weapon, and strode away.

Although he may not meet the Taoist in purple this time, he still needs to use all his strength to fight the lion against the rabbit, so he is still fully prepared.

He did not bring an ordinary hard-rod spear, but the steel spear that his adoptive father had built for him. He wrapped it tightly in a long cloth bag that Zhao Yu had specially made for himself. He covered it on weekdays and only lit it up when he needed to use it. come out.

He also carries a ten-stone strong bow on his back. Bows of this strength are rare in the military. It is said that this bow is soaked in some kind of special snake oil from the bow body to the string to achieve such strength.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, he did not wear any armor. He only wore a protective breastplate and covered it with clothes.

Chen Mo left Zhuniuji all the way and went to the military camp to make arrangements first to ensure that there would be no other problems during his two days away.

After making arrangements, he did not ride a horse and left alone as before.

The place I want to go this time is completely in the wilderness. Not only will riding a horse not save energy, it will also slow down my journey.

Leave Zhuniuji and head west.

Chen Mo held a map in his hand. This map was drawn in great detail. It included not only official roads, but also various country trails, mountains and rivers.

Its level of detail is far superior to any version circulating on the street, and even the maps drawn by many merchants themselves are by no means so detailed.

This is a map that is only used by the military. Anyone who dares to copy this map privately will be executed.

Officials who lost or leaked such maps without any reason would receive fifty military sticks and be deprived of the third rank.

What Chen Mo has in his hands now is only a detailed map of a small area of ​​​​Zhu Niuji. As for the detailed map of the entire Xingyuan Mansion, I am afraid that only the Imperial Military Department and his adoptive father have it.

Not long after walking, Chen Mo had already stepped out of a salt-alkali land. Not far away, there was a small private salt farm under a low mountain col.

This small mine was marked by Chen Mo himself and had not appeared on the map before.

After walking through this mine, the road suddenly became difficult to walk under my feet.

Clusters of low shrubs cover your steps, and various snakes, insects, rats, and ants are entrenched among them. The terrain is even more uneven, and sometimes you walk on gravel roads.

There are no hills or hills near Zhuniuji, it's basically all plains.

Chen Mo didn't rush on the road very fast, but always moved forward steadily.

Even so, he still crossed nearly a hundred miles before sunset and arrived at the meeting place agreed by Mo Hu.

With a quick glance, Chen Mo had already discovered that there were traces of other people's footsteps here.

Following the traces, we found someone stationed on a leeward mountain col just a few dozen feet away.

"Fifth brother." He called softly, already unbuttoning the cloth bag containing weapons with one hand, and he would take action if anything went wrong.

Since Fifth Brother wants to come here by himself, the people who appear here, besides him, may also be people from the Dutian Dao Sect.

"How did you come so fast?" Mo Hu was stunned when he heard the sound and appeared from behind the mountain col.

Chen Mo then put away his weapon and said with a smile, "I didn't dare to be careless after receiving the letter, so I rushed over immediately."

"I've investigated the situation pretty much. Either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, people from the Tiandao Sect will definitely pass by nearby. Let's wait here to set up an ambush." ​​Mo Hu said in a low voice.

After pulling Chen Mo to the mountain col, there were two other soldiers here besides him. They were both old soldiers under General Sun's account. They were trustworthy and not bad in strength.

The two of them could only be considered familiar with Chen Mo, after all, they had only known each other for half a year, but they had known Mo Hu and Mo Dao for several years, and it was a life-long friendship.

The two of them came this time with the intention of avenging Mo Dao.

"I wish Niuji beef is cheap. I brought some. Let the brothers have a try."

Chen Mo opened the package, took out the remaining beef and shared it with several people.

It was a peaceful night, and the next day, several people took action in an orderly manner.
