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

Lu Chuan nodded when he heard this, didn't say much, and walked towards the main courtyard abruptly.

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

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

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

"Your father-in-law and I are old acquaintances or the same year, if you talk about it carefully, you still have to call me Uncle Lu."

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lu Chuan's face was tight, and then he relaxed.

"Uncle Lu, then why are you looking for a junior today?" Chen Mo was still quite puzzled by this.

"Do you know what's going on in the capital these days?" Lu Chuan asked in a condensed voice.

Seeing that Chen Mo shook his head lightly, he continued to speak, "Some time ago, the Demon Dao powerhouse invaded, and there were Demon Dao thieves who joined forces with foreign races to assassinate Your Majesty.

Although the assassination was unsuccessful, His Majesty has been in retreat since then to recuperate from his wounds, and has not been out of the customs for a long time, and has not even appeared at the court meeting.

It was also around that time that His Majesty transferred his father-in-law and the town guards of many state capitals to lead troops into Beijing.

As a result, as soon as you entered Beijing, 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 is too deep.

From the assassination of His Majesty to the attack on the eldest prince, no matter which one of them is, it is a major event that shocks the sky.

Especially when His Majesty was assassinated and there was news that he had not recovered from serious injuries, but at this time, the eldest prince was deceived and taken out of the city, and there were even stronger people who wanted to kill him.

Needless to say, this matter must have been prepared for a long time, at least not long after His Majesty was assassinated.

As for whether these two things are likely to be related to each other, it is even more difficult to say.

Although there is no major incident yet, Lu Chuan seems to have been able to see the scene in the capital in a few days.

"Demon Dao? Where is the Demon Dao so strong? The court failed to exterminate them? Chen Mo's tone was slightly puzzled, except for the Dutian Dao Sect, he really hadn't come into contact with any Demon Dao cultivators.

Even the Dutian Dao Sect can't be regarded as a demon path in the strict sense, it can only be said that they want to rebel, so it's a demon dao.

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

There are two kinds of so-called demonic paths, one is that their actions are truly demonic outer paths, which can easily harm people's lives, act without scruples, and some even use living people as cultivation food.

This is the real Demon Dao, everyone shouts and fights, no matter the imperial family, the Jianghu sect, as long as they see this kind of Demon Dao, they will take action to exterminate it.

The other is against the imperial court, no matter what their style of conduct, but in Daqian, they are the devil.

"This group of demons comes from the Chaotic Sky Valley, or all the demons that have been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, but have not been encircled and suppressed, are hiding there.

Among them, there are many people who have a strong hatred for the big cadres and for the current generation. This time, they cooperated with other races, so they dared to take risks and come to assassinate the king. ”

Lu Chuan sighed when he said this, the Demon Dao is not to worry, if they are really strong enough, they will not be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court into the Chaotic Sky Valley back then.

But the strength of the alien race is indeed not weak, otherwise it would not have been requisitioned for so many years.

Of course, there is another speculation in Lu Chuan's heart, that is, His Majesty was deliberately assassinated.

And although he was fine after being assassinated, he kept pretending to be seriously ill, in order to take this opportunity to lure out the chaos in the court and more demonic thieves.

It's just that before these people are brought out, some people can't control the greed in their hearts, and they take risks to seize the heir.

Of course, these are all his guesses, and they can't be determined to be true, so he won't tell Chen Mo.

"Then how is Your Majesty doing now, Uncle Lu, do you have any news?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

So far, the most important point is whether His Majesty is healthy or not.

If he hadn't been seriously injured or healed, then many heads would have fallen.

On the other hand, if His Majesty is really seriously injured and dies, he may even die.

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

The faction of the eldest prince will definitely fight with the faction that wants to kill the eldest prince.

"I went to inquire today, but I couldn't find any news, Miyagi is under martial law, and I can't even get in.

Asking others, including my immediate boss, General Zhongjun, got no information. ”

Lu Chuan's expression was solemn and he slowly shook his head.

The general of the Chinese army, the official is the second grade, and he can be called the top minister.

Because according to the common practice of the great cadres, the official position of the first rank is generally not conferred, and is only used for posthumous sealing.

The general of the Chinese army, nominally in charge of all the forbidden armies, in fact, can only mobilize the forbidden army in the capital in most cases.

The forbidden army of the rest of the acropolis, if he really wants to mobilize, he must get the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Even so, being able to take charge of the forbidden army in the capital shows His Majesty's trust in this person.

But even the general of the Chinese army did not know any news, which is enough to see the seriousness of this matter. Of course, he may also know it, but he doesn't want to reveal it to Lu Chuan.

In any case, it is enough to see that this matter is still unresolved, and there is no concrete result yet.

"I'm here today to tell you that it's very good to save the eldest prince as you, and it's a credit anyway.

But then if someone tries to woo you, then don't do anything.

Only in this way, no matter what the future holds, you will have merit and no fault. ”

Lu Chuan spoke earnestly and explained very seriously.

If Chen Mo was not Sun Shouren's righteous son, then he would never say this today.

Because once Chen Mo stood in line and expressed his position, in the eyes of others, he basically represented Sun Shouren's choice.

That's right, Chen Mo's official position is indeed not high, but he can't stand his strength.

A master who can easily kill other acquired powerhouses, no matter what the realm is, the combat power is definitely enough to match the acquired consummation.

In the case of the innate martial artist and the Jindan monk not showing up, the acquired consummation is already the top powerhouse in the world.

This kind of statement of the strong is very important in itself.

He is not familiar with Chen Mo, but he doesn't want to see his old friend for many years being dragged into the water.

This matter is too deep and muddy, and it may not be a good thing to rush into it before it is clear.

"The juniors understand that the juniors will stay in this house to practice in the future, and they will definitely not ask about other things."

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

What Lu Chuan said is indeed right, he saved the eldest prince, which is an indisputable credit.

No matter how you fight and how you fight next, even if the prince who wants to attack and kill the eldest prince really ascends to the throne, then Chen Mo will have to be rewarded.

After all, he was saving the prince at that time, and he did his duty as a courtier, no matter who became the emperor, he would want to see such a courtier.

So I can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai now and wait for the curtain to end.

If you take the initiative to mix it, it is risky.

"If only you could understand." Lu Chuan nodded slightly.

immediately changed the topic and talked with Chen Mo about the characteristics of the capital, as well as some things to pay attention to when entering the capital.

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

After three rounds of wine, the dish reaches five flavors.

Lu Chuan's face was slightly red, and he grabbed Chen Mo's hand and asked another question.

"I said virtuous nephew, how can you become a seventh-grade official when you cultivate the day after tomorrow. Didn't Lao Sun write to the court to protect you, this shouldn't be. ”

Lu Chuan was obviously also puzzled by this matter.

Although practicing martial arts can delay aging, since Chen Mo worships Sun Shouren as his father-in-law, then his age must be much younger than Sun Shouren.

This shows that Chen Mo's talent is really good, even if it is the cultivation seed in the top sect of those great families.

He started to lay a foundation for cultivation at the age of five or six, and when he reached Chen Mo's age, it was estimated that he would be in the acquired realm at most.

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

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

He must not be from a wealthy family, let alone have a sect to rely on, after all, if there are these, why should he worship Sun Shouren as his father-in-law.

In the absence of sufficient resources and the guidance of famous teachers, Chen Mo was still able to achieve acquired cultivation at this age, which shows his talent.

Not to mention looking at the generation of Daqian, in the past hundred years, there may not be anyone who can compare with him.

As long as Chen Mo has no accidents, the innate realm is a matter of time.

This is also the reason why he specially came to advise Chen Mo not to stand in line in a hurry.

Next, there will definitely be various factions that want to win him over, because to win him over is not only to win over an acquired martial artist, but also to win over a future innate powerhouse.

"This is a long story, and the younger generation's cultivation has just broken through for a long time, but I cultivate both inside and outside, and my strength is slightly stronger than that of ordinary acquired powerhouses.

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

Chen Mo smiled and reluctantly gave an explanation.

This explanation doesn't have to be entirely plausible, because no one is going to look into it.

Even if you look closely, you can't find out that Chen Mo is a person who came out of Qingzhou, and there are few living people in Qingzhou now.

However, there is another flaw, that is, when the time comes, I have to find a way to meet my father-in-law first and discuss the matter with his old man.

Otherwise, I have practiced since I was a child, and now I have the acquired realm that can still be explained.

But if it's only two years of practice, it's a bit too unreasonable.

But even if it's fully exposed, it's not a huge problem.

Unless there is a great enmity between life and death, no force will suddenly have a convulsion, and it has to offend a strong man whose real combat power is comparable to the acquired perfection.

For this kind of strong people, even those forces with innate martial artists, they are mainly based on winning over and making friends.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo dares to expose his strength, with his current strength, although he is not the top in the world, he is also a first-class realm.

What's more, Chen Mo is still an official of the imperial court, and he saved the life of the eldest prince, unless the son really dies today, no one dares to touch him easily.

Because if anyone dares to touch him, he may be suspected by the Son of Heaven if he is connected with the power that killed the Great Prince.

"I see, I see." Lu Chuan nodded and didn't ask any more about this.

At a banquet, the two sides talked very happily, and Chen Mo sent Lu Chuan outside the door again, and then went back to the house to rest.

Two days later, Sun Shouren still did not arrive, but Mo Hu rushed to the capital first.

Chen Mo received the news from his father-in-law and rushed to the capital, and he could naturally receive it after a few days.

It's just that he learned the news relatively late, and the road to go is farther, so the speed is not as fast as Chen Mo.

In addition, he did not come alone, and more than a dozen of his own soldiers accompanied him.

Compared with Chen Mo, the head of the salt transportation department, he still has his boss and colleagues in the tax department, and someone will naturally take over what he doesn't do.

Therefore, his own soldiers can naturally be transferred to enter Beijing with him.

After another three days, the palace was no longer under martial law, and there was news that a big court meeting would be held five days later, and all officials in Beijing regardless of rank and size would enter the palace court meeting.

There is no doubt that this news can come out to prove one point, that is, there is no fear of life today.

Not only is it okay, but there is still room to deal with government affairs.

Even if he was really seriously injured, then the injury is now stable, if not better.

He's 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 found that their colleagues had suddenly disappeared.

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

In the inner city, more than a dozen households were collectively seized by the Sky Patrol Guard.

For a time, in the black prison where the prisoners were held in the Sky Survey Guard, bursts of cries and wails resounded from morning to night.

This time the matter is too big, and all the people involved, regardless of their status and power, are the three tribes of Yi at the very least.

It can also be seen that today's wrist is definitely not bad, otherwise these things cannot be done so neatly.

These situations are no longer hidden in the city, and almost all officials, large and small, are about to know.

The reason is simple, because the arrest of so many people is something that cannot be concealed, and it will soon spread throughout the entire 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 brag about the mountains, or talk a few idle words when drinking.

Two days later, Mo Hu arranged for the pro-soldiers who were observing near the city gate, and finally came with the news.

His father-in-law is now only more than 20 miles away from the capital, and he will be able to enter the city before this evening.
