Chapter 118: Entering the capital
Chen Mo stood beside the carriage and looked at the cavalry in the distance, the cavalry that came was not very elite, there were only more than 100 horsemen, each of whom was dressed in light armor.
The strength of the person at the head should not be bad, at least it can stimulate the eyes of blood and qi, and from a distance, I can see that the carriage behind Chen Mo belongs to the royal family.
"Your Highness, this should be the forbidden army of the imperial court." Chen Mo stood beside the carriage and spoke slowly.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing a childish face, looking at the forbidden army galloping from afar.
As time passed, he still felt dreaded and afraid, but he gradually came back to some of his senses.
The Praetorian Army ran extremely fast, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust from a distance, and it didn't take long to reach the front of the frame.
"I am the commander of the Six-Rank Forbidden Army, and I dare to ask who Your Excellency is, this carriage is a carriage and horse used by the palace, I don't know if there are people in the carriage now."
The one hundred and ten cavalrymen were led by tall, sturdy, dark-skinned men and beards that were too thick.
"I am Chen Mo, the head of the salt transportation division of the seventh grade Xingyuan Mansion of the imperial court, who was ordered to enter Beijing, and met His Royal Highness the Great Prince on the way and was pursued by thieves.
There were two thieves, one of whom I had slain and the other whom I had captured. Your Highness is now safe and fine. ”
Chen Mo once again showed the official seal and transfer order as evidence.
Ma Jianxin turned over and dismounted, looking at the acquired strong man who was tightly bound.
"Dare to ask if the other imperial guards beside the eldest prince are available?" He bowed his hand from afar, puzzled and asked.
"No, they've all been killed by those two thieves." Chen Mo shook his head slowly.
"Lone's guards have all been killed by those two thieves, and it was General Chen who appeared, which saved Lone's life." The eldest prince Zhao Renmin walked out of the carriage and said boldly.
His voice was not loud, but Ma Jianxin could hear it clearly.
He knew that among the guards around the eldest prince, there must be a Pulse Mirror Consummation Warrior, and there was more than one.
The fact that those two thieves were able to kill the Imperial Guards so easily meant that one of them must be an acquired martial artist, or even both.
However, Chen Mo was able to kill a thief and capture a thief alive.
Then it can be seen that his strength is definitely not bad, and there is a high probability that he is an acquired powerhouse.
However, the seven-grade official, the acquired strong.
These two concepts have never been able to be equated in Ma Jianxin's mind.
If Chen Mo is really an acquired powerhouse, how can he be a seventh-grade official, this is completely impossible, and he has to be a fifth-grade guard at the very least.
This is all an official position that can only be achieved if he is excluded in the officialdom, has no connections, has no popularity, and even offends people.
Otherwise, a normal acquired martial artist would never be able to sit only in the fifth-rank official position.
No matter how he wanted to break his head, he couldn't have imagined how Chen Mo could be a seven-rank official!
"Then dare to ask this general, what is the strength of these two thieves, and I can report it." Ma Jianxin's attitude is very humble, although Chen Mo's official position is not as good as his, but he does not have the slightest arrogance.
Because he understands that if Chen Mo is really an acquired powerhouse, and saves the eldest prince.
Don't say that he is now a seventh-rank official of the imperial court, even if he doesn't 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 acquired martial artists, the specific realm is unknown, this person has been used by me to use internal qi to seal all the trick meridians, don't worry about it will burst out and hurt people."
Chen Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to the acquired powerhouse who was thrown on the ground.
Ma Jianxin nodded, he still didn't understand why Chen Mo was only a seventh-grade official with acquired strength.
Could it be that the strength has improved too quickly, and the official position has not had time to be promoted?
This shouldn't be, no matter how fast he can improve, no matter how good his talent is, how can it take more than ten years from induction internal qi cultivation to the acquired realm, 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.
Waving his hand to the side, he gave an order, and a chirping arrow was shot high into the air.
Anyway, although he didn't personally save the eldest prince this time, he was the first to find it, and he had some credit.
"Your Highness, our forbidden army is now searching outside, and in a few moments there will be support coming, you can rest assured." Ma saw his heart bowing and saluting.
"This general, this prisoner has to trouble you to take care of it for the time being." Immediately, he saluted Chen Mo again.
He really didn't want to take care of this acquired thief, in case he couldn't take care of one of them, even if he didn't escape, the other party committed suicide.
The dignitary was interpreted as having a connection with these thieves, so he helped him commit suicide.
At that time, he will be a yellow mud and lose his crotch, not and.
The prince was attacked and killed, which is a great crime of the Nine Clans.
If you don't have the ability to take care of this thief, you don't want to fight for this credit, and in the end, you have to put your whole clan into it.
As the arrows rang out, several more groups of cavalry came one after another, and Ma Jianxin stepped forward one after another to explain the situation to them.
Those cavalry commanders also looked at him with an extremely puzzled and surprised gaze after learning about Chen Mo's situation.
Obviously, they are also the same as Ma Jianxin, and they can't understand why Chen Mo only has a seventh-grade official position since he has acquired strength.
However, they soon realized that this gaze was a bit rude, so they all smiled and showed favor to Chen Mo.
They understand that no matter what Chen Mo did before, but now that he has saved the eldest prince, his own strength is not bad, then his career will definitely soar in the future, far beyond their reach.
Chen Mo also smiled at them in response, at least now they have no conflict of interest with each other, so everyone is more friendly.
Judging from the attitude of these cavalry commanders, Chen Mo could vaguely feel that there didn't seem to be anything terrible happening in the capital.
It seems that the disappearance of the eldest prince is the most important thing at the moment.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, with the status of these people, they are not qualified to know until the dust settles on the big event.
After waiting in place for about two quarters of an hour, another man hurried in with hundreds of cavalry.
This person is wearing a fourth-grade military attache robe, and the divine horse under his crotch is blood-red, and there seems to be a hot and dry breath circulating between the gallops, which is definitely a rare treasure horse.
"The minister's escort is late, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins."
The man turned over and dismounted, came to the frame, bowed and bowed.
He is about forty years old, with a thoughtful face and a brave spirit, and he knows at a glance that his strength is extraordinary, and he must have been on the battlefield for a long time.
"It's okay, Aiqing is flat." Zhao Renmin leaned out of the carriage and said.
Chen Mo stepped forward again and explained the situation to the fourth-rank military attaché.
"You mean, you killed an acquired martial artist and captured an acquired martial artist alive." Lu Chuan's tone was slightly puzzled, and it seemed that he was also puzzled.
If Chen Mo has acquired strength, he is still so young, why is he just a seventh-grade official.
"That's right. This is my appointment, please see it, sir. Chen Mo took out the appointment document that he had been holding in his arms.
Lu Chuan took it, looked at it carefully, and then handed it back to Chen Mo.
"Your Highness, please come back to the capital with me." Lu Chuan looked at the eldest prince Zhao Renmin on the side and said in a deep voice.
"No need, let General Chen escort Lone." Zhao Renmin said.
Obviously, compared to the fourth-grade military attache in front of him who he didn't know, he trusted Chen Mo who had just saved his life.
"Protect Your Highness." Lu Chuan casually explained to Chen Mo, and turned around to leave immediately.
With his status, he was able to learn more news.
He naturally understood that at the age of the eldest prince, he must have sneaked out of the palace.
So why did he come out? With his age, it would never be possible to slip out of the palace so easily, and who would help him on the way? Did someone deliberately lead it out?
How did the gang of bandits find out about his course of action? How long exactly are they planning for this?
No matter which one of these problems you investigate, you will have to kill a river of blood.
This matter is too deep, and it is best for me to only do my due duty, and never mix too much with other things.
This is the way to preserve oneself, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault.
Thousands of cavalry surrounded the two carriages and held them firmly.
Chen Mo drove the royal horse to the front, and Zhao Renmin clutched his sleeve tightly, refusing to let him go.
Zhao Yu drove her own carriage to follow behind Chen Mo, and thousands of cavalry were running around, but she was not afraid.
The thieves captured by Chen Mo earlier were hastily bandaged and taken care of by Lu Chuan himself.
The cavalry did not run very fast, and it took more than an hour before they reached the vicinity of the city gates.
The walls of the capital are very tall, more than 20 zhang high and seven or eight zhang wide at a glance, which can allow three carriages to run side by side.
The city gate tower is even taller, and many battlements and arrow towers are built on the left and right sides, so that the whole city is protected by impermeability.
It's definitely a majestic city.
The city walls are covered with mottled spots left by years of wind and rain, as well as swords, guns and sword marks left by the enemy's strong men when they attacked the city.
Chen Mo also saw a knife mark with a diameter of more than five zhang and a width of seven feet.
Not only that, but he could feel that even though a long time had passed, the scar was still emitting a ferocious aura outward.
There should be a large number of formations arranged by Qi Refiners on the city wall, so they can suppress this knife mark.
Therefore, only Chen Mo, a martial artist with cultivation, could vaguely feel the strong aura of this sword mark.
The other passers-by didn't notice it at all, just thought it was an ordinary knife mark.
The city has long been under martial law, and it is tightly sealed on all sides.
Lu Chuan rode up to report that the two city gates, which were nearly thirty zhang wide, slowly opened.
Like such a majestic city gate, there are eighteen roads outside the entire capital, so as to meet the needs of this city.
Riding a horse slowly into the city, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the road was very smooth.
After passing through the outer city, the carriage came to the front of the inner city.
Unlike the market towns or county towns that Chen Mo had been to before, those places had relatively small populations, and even if there were dignitaries, a few streets would be settled, and it was not worth building an inner city alone.
The capital has a population of millions, covers an incomparably vast area, has high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and has more wealthy families.
So the division between the inner and outer cities was formed.
A strong and majestic city wall clearly separates the inner and outer cities
Ordinary people and lower-ranking officials could only live in the outer cities.
Only the true nobles, high-ranking lords, are qualified to live in the inner city.
The carriage passed through the inner city and finally came to Miyagi.
This is the entire capital, and it can even be said to be the most important place in the entire Daqian.
Correction: The previous chapter was revised to change the age of the Grand Prince to eight years old.
I hope you know.
