The Taimiao, vast and solemn, can not help but make people feel deep and solemn when viewed from a distance.

Dragons are carved on the beams and pillars like black jade, and the floor is scrubbed extremely clean, almost imprinting human figures.

The incense is swaying, the smoke is soaring into the sky, and there are two sets of chimes that have been prepared for a long time, and mourning music can be played anytime and anywhere.

Since the founding of the country, the Son of Heaven and the Queen of the past dynasties have tablets in this temple and are sacrificed by the incense of the descendants.

In addition, the great Qiantai Taizu also set up two temples on the left and right sides of the temple, and all loyal ministers and good generals can enter this temple after their deaths, and receive the national sacrifice incense.

After worshipping the temple, the Son of Heaven had to go to these two temples to worship separately, which can be said to be the highest glory that a courtier can enjoy.

Chen Mo stood in the center of the temple, and in front of him were layers of coffins.

Today, at least an acquired consummation martial artist who looks exactly the same as today's son, is now lying in the coffin.

However, the rest of the warriors may not be aware of it.

But Chen Mo is an innate martial artist, and he has a strong ability to perceive breath.

He could sense that the breath of the body in front of him was wrong, it was indeed dead, with a deep twilight.

But there are too many differences from the Son of Heaven I saw at the beginning.

However, at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, Chen Mo had the heart to check further, so he could only give up for the time being, he couldn't directly open the coffin in front of everyone.

Quietly took a step back, and the true qi vibrated and closed the gap.

There are not no martial artists among the people present, but the strongest strength is not the day after tomorrow, where can you find the small actions made by Chen Mo.

Stepping aside, Chen Mo's brows couldn't help but lock lightly.

Something was wrong with the body in the coffin, and that was just one of them.

Importantly, I was definitely not alone in examining the body.

Since King Pingxi had the intention of plotting power and usurping the throne, he must have examined the body again and again after the death of the Son of Heaven.

If he can find something wrong, he may find it too.

If he finds out that the body is not the real body of the Son of Heaven, even if there is only a trace that it may not be.

Then even if he borrowed three more guts, he should not seek power and usurp the throne at this time, which would be too risky.

So there is only one possibility, King Pingxi was sure that the body at that time was the body of the Son of Heaven, but after he was sure, the body disappeared.

How did the body disappear?

Who would want to steal a corpse? And under heavy guards, the coffin was opened and the body was removed.

This is not impossible, but if you want to do this, you need at least a few innate martial artists and Jin Dan overhaul.

In addition, there is also the possibility that the person who took the body mastered the Miyagi formation.

That way there is no such trouble.

But if someone really has such an ability, what is the purpose of taking away a corpse at such a great cost?!

Therefore, in addition to the theft of the body, there is another possibility, that is, the Son of Heaven did not die at all, and he was secretly watching this happen in another place.

Chen Mo knew that the Son of Heaven was very good at doing this kind of thing, and last time he used this method to pit the demons and aliens.

But what I did this time was a little too big, and if I didn't do it well, it would really cause civil strife and turmoil in the country.

It's a bit too risky to do that.

What's more, even if he did it, it was almost time to stop now, why didn't he show up?

Or are you just mistaken? The corpse in the coffin is indeed the body of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Mo stood in the shadow of the corner on the side, his brows furrowed, and he had been thinking about these questions.

It is by no means easy to figure out these things, and it is best to find a way to meet the innate powerhouse who went with the Son of Heaven to encircle and suppress the alien race that day.

They must know many things that they do not know.

What's more, even if the Son of Heaven is not dead, with his strength, even if he can master all the formations in the palace, it will not be easy to quietly replace the corpse and leave the coffin.

Among them, there must be a congenital strong person, or Jindan overhaul to help.

Until this moment, this matter is still shrouded in layers of fog, which makes people unreal.

"General Chen, is there anything difficult?" Empress Xu quietly walked to Chen Mo's side and asked softly.

Of course, she didn't see Chen Mo quietly open the coffin, but she keenly noticed that Chen Mo had been frowning and hiding in the dark, obviously thinking about something important.

As the only congenital powerhouse who can protect their mother and son at present, Queen Xu has always been distracted and paid attention to Chen Mo.

"It's complicated, it's hard to say." Chen Mo shook his head lightly and did not say this matter directly.

The first is that the news is too big, and the second is that he has not had time to carefully confirm back and forth that the body lying in the coffin is not today.

"The minister first went to rectify Yulinwei and arranged for people to protect the Taimiao. As for this matter, I'll talk to you about it later. Chen Mo bowed, turned around and retreated.

Outside the temple, many Yulinwei gathered.

Zheng Ying led more than 500 of his cronies, and at this time, he also disarmed his armor and stayed honestly outside the Taimiao.

"General Chen." Yu Lin Lang, who controlled all the Yu Lin Guards, walked in front of Chen Mo and bowed respectfully.

His strength is not bad, although he has not entered the innate realm, he also has the acquired perfection realm.

In terms of official position, he is actually much higher than Chen Mo.

Yu Lin Lang, who controls all Yu Lin Wei in Miyagi, is a second-rank official position, and he cannot be appointed unless he is a cronie of the Son of Heaven.

But Chen Mo is now holding a talisman, so it is enough to mobilize and send all the Yu Lin Guards, including him, Yu Lin Lang.

"Leave a thousand Yu Lin Guards to guard the rest of the palace city, and the remaining Yu Lin Guards take turns guarding the Taimiao in three groups, and no one is allowed to enter and leave at will.

All the food and drinking water sent into the temple will be tested for poison before being handed over to me for inspection. Chen Mo instructed him carefully.

There are still many strong people in the Yulin Guard, in addition to Yulin Lang, the acquired consummation, there are also five Houtian realm martial artists.

At the moment they are scattered along the guards, ensuring that no one can enter and exit at will.

The Miyagi formation was opened, and the bright lights were shining, even if the innate powerhouse broke into it, this formation could also play a role in blocking.

During the wake in the Taimiao, whether it was the concubine queen or the princess, they were not allowed to leave, and even food and water were brought by someone.

However, during the wake, he was only vegetarian and ate only two meals a day.

Chen Mo is now waiting for this time to eat, and it is naturally impossible to eat in the Taimiao, or to eat temporarily outside.

At that time, there will be no one else in the temple, and you will be able to rest assured and boldly take a closer look.

After arranging Yu Linwei, Chen Mo walked to Zheng Ying's side again.

"Let your cronies bring weapons and armor and guard the gate of Miyagi with the Yulin Guard." Chen Mo opened his mouth to explain.

"Xia Guan understands!" Zheng Ying bowed and saluted.

In fact, his official position is not low, even if he is not a close confidant of King Pingxi, he can still be a fourth-grade official with the acquired strength.

But he understands that his fourth-grade official and Chen Mo's fourth-grade official are completely incomparable.

He is a congenital powerhouse, and now he is a fourth-grade official, but he has not had time to be promoted.

"My lord, Xia Guan still has a lot of subordinates, now outside the city, can you let them introduce Miyagi and help defend with me." Zheng Ying looked respectful and opened his mouth to plead.

With his official status, it is naturally impossible for only these cronies, and some of them are still stationed outside the city.

"Okay, you can bring them in and out." Chen Mo smiled and nodded, and then patted Zheng Ying's shoulder again and encouraged

"Do it well, you have made a contribution, the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince will not forget you, and I will definitely ask for a reward for you when I turn back."

"Xia Guan understands!" Zheng Ying looked slightly excited.

Of course, he knew that it was indeed a certain risk for him to stand on the side of the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time.

But the risk is high, and it also means that the harvest is big.

From the dragon escort, this is the greatest achievement of the great work.

What's more, even if it doesn't work out, he is a loyal minister in the history books, not a traitor.

Zheng Ying quickly prepared with his cronies and hurried to the gate of the palace city.

After arranging the defense of the palace city, Chen Mo left to walk back to the Taimiao.

Except for the three princes and their mothers who were taken away by King Pingxi, they are not here now, and the rest of the princes and princesses are all guarding the spirits.

Since King Pingxi wants to support the three princes, he naturally wants to keep them in his hands.

After all, the temple is in the palace city, and it is not a place where he can interfere at will.

Walking into the Taimiao, Chen Mo hid in the dark and glanced at Queen Xu.

She had been observing Chen Mo, and she could naturally notice it at this moment.

Looking left and right, his figure slowly moved back, got up and moved the lotus step lightly, and walked to Chen Mo's side.

"Niangniang, when you go back for dinner, you lead people to eat outside, and the minister has something to do in the temple. If the minister doesn't come out, you must not bring people into the temple. ”

Chen Mo lowered his voice and cautiously asked.

He didn't directly tell Empress Xu that he wanted to explore the body.

After all, he is not 100% sure that the corpse does not belong to today.

"Okay." Empress Xu agreed without hesitation, and didn't even ask Chen Mo what he was going to do.

Now Chen Mo is the only loyal minister that their mother and son can rely on, and she can only have absolute trust in Chen Mo.

"In addition, there is another thing, the remaining innate martial artists of the royal family must have also encircled and suppressed the alien race that day, where are they now?

In addition to the innate martial artists of the imperial family, there must also be innate powerhouses of many other forces, can any of these powerhouses be in the capital?

In addition, as far as I know, there is a Chu Tian Xiu Chu senior, who should have rushed to the capital not long ago, Niangniang, do you know where he is? ”

Chen Mo asked many more questions in one breath.

The congenital strong, the number is scarce, and the strength is extremely strong.

These powerhouses will not show up on weekdays, and even at this moment, there are many battles for the throne, and the vast majority of forces and innate powerhouses do not intend to mix.

This is a matter between the royal family, and most of the forces have no interest in getting involved in this troubled water.

Because they have no direct stake in this matter, not to mention that there is an innate powerhouse in the force, they already have the confidence not to stand in line.

But the situation has reached this point, and there is no innate powerhouse to show up, which is a little too strange.

Chen Mo didn't believe it, His Majesty knew that he was going to be seriously injured and dying and might die, but he didn't ask anyone for orphanage, which was an extremely strange thing.

And if you want to understand these situations and solve these mysteries, the most direct way is to find those innate strong people and ask them face-to-face about all kinds of situations.

"This ......" Empress Xu's tone was slightly hesitant, her eyes hurriedly swept left and right, and she stepped closer to Chen Mo.

"The rest of the innate martial artists in the royal family, all of whom were seriously injured in the encirclement and suppression of the alien race, announced that they would retreat as soon as they returned.

In addition, there are several worshippers in the imperial court, who also want to retreat and heal, and they have not been seen for a long time. ”

Her eyebrows tightened, and her voice was extremely low.

Since the encirclement and suppression of the alien race, all the innate martial artists who went that day have announced that they are seriously injured and retreated, and no one has shown up until now.

"As far as I know, several worshippers of the imperial court practice on the top of the Ten Thousand Law Building all the year round, while several royal families are born to practice in the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu outside the capital all the year round."

As the queen of a country, of course, she knows a lot of things, and now she has no reservations and tells Chen Mo one by one.

"General Chen, you still don't want to ask those innate powerhouses to make a move, they are now seriously injured and retreating. Even if there are no injuries, they probably won't show up at this time. ”

Empress Xu sighed, her eyebrows full of sorrow.

She didn't want to ask those innate powerhouses to help, but she knew better that it was impossible.

And Chen Mo was the only talisman she could hold in her hand now, and it was impossible for her to let Chen Mo leave before the ancestor of her family arrived.

Although there are many Yulin guards now, who dares to guarantee that there is no eyeliner of King Pingxi here.

Maybe as soon as Chen Mo left with his front foot, King Pingxi would immediately lead people to break into the palace.

"Rest assured, before the national funeral is over, the minister will never leave the temple easily."

Chen Mo could understand the worry in her tone, and assured at the moment.

"That's good, that's good." Empress Xu breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile at Chen Mo.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was time for dinner, and the imperial dining room brought vegetarian food.

Empress Xu took many princesses, princesses and concubines to leave the temple for the time being and went to eat.

However, in an instant, only Chen Mo was left in the Taimiao.

He opened the layers of coffins, covered the entire corpse with internal qi and blood, and began to carefully probe them one by one from the inside out.

The more he looked at it, the more certain Chen Mo was that this corpse was definitely not what it was today.

Although this corpse was dead, it was killed by a single blow, and it was by no means a serious injury and died.

He could even detect that someone had used a secret method to disguise the corpse, which made the corpse look the same as it was today.
