Chen Mo looked at the grass house in front of him, and when his own true qi entered the grass house hot sample, it suddenly changed.

From a miniature hot shape that was no more than the size of a fist, it expanded into a two-zhang square grass house in an instant.

If it weren't for the fact that this cultivation retreat room was wide enough, I am afraid it would not have been able to accommodate it.

Everything in the grass house was exactly the same as what he had seen in the mirage before, without the slightest change.

Chen Mo could feel like a storage ring, and his true qi had left a mark in this grass house.

He even seemed to be able to directly incorporate this grass house into his dantian, but he would never do so.

After all, this thing comes from a mirage, and there is a certain risk in rushing into the body.

However, refining this grass house, Chen Mo also instantly understood its effect.

This grass hut is a temporary shelter, not to mention that it is extremely sturdy in itself, and it can further increase its own protection with the help of the power of the earth's qi.

And between the inside and outside, it can be called an absolute separation.

As long as Chen Mo, the controller, is unwilling, unless he has the strength to break through this grass house, no situation in the outside world can interfere with the internal half of the point.

Even if the thunder snake dances wildly outside, the grass house is still quiet and good, and there will be no change.

It's just that this grass house may not be able to resist the mirage or ruins.

Even so, it's a pretty good baby.

If you are in the wilderness, if you want to retreat or rest and heal, then take it out and rest and heal yourself.

Even if someone really makes a move on this grass house, they can quickly detect it.

The defense of this grass house is very strong, even if Chen Mo attacks with all his strength, it cannot be easily shattered.

If a strong man can smash this grass house with one blow, then with Chen Mo's current strength, whether it is a sneak attack or a frontal fight, or even escape, he may not be able to escape from that strong man.

It can be said that as long as you take this grass house, even if you are in danger, you can get a moment of respite for yourself.

In addition, this grass house has another function, that is, it can be used to make hidden weapons to smash people.

The weight of the grass house itself is not heavy, although it seems to be made of thatched soil and stone, but the weight is only a few hundred catties.

However, after changing it to the size of a fist, it is also qualified to be used as a hidden weapon.

What's more, as the master of the grassland, Chen Mo can let it take root in the ground to absorb the earth's qi, further increasing its weight.

On this point, at least he has not yet perceived the upper limit.

An object the size of a fist weighing a thousand pounds, with his strength, threw it with all his might, and its power was absolutely terrifying.

And because he has already refined and mastered this grassland, after throwing it, he can still summon it back.

Of course, the premise is that this grass house does not fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise it will take some effort to summon it again.

Chen Mo's mind moved, and the grass house shrank rapidly, and finally it still became the size of a palm, but because of the absorption of earth qi, the weight was much heavier than before.

After putting away the storage ring, Chen Mo did not leave this cultivation retreat room at the moment, took out the futon, and began to recuperate his physical body.

In the past, it was a matter of extruding far more than one's own strength, leaving a defect for oneself, but now it is natural to repair it as soon as possible, and only when it is in a state of perfection can the cultivator gain something.

A day of cultivation passed in a trance, and the next morning, Chen Mo changed into an official uniform early to go to the court to discuss matters.

Trivial political affairs are handled by civilian officials and scribes, and there is only one thing that Chen Mo and other military attaches can discuss, that is, how to deal with the remaining border troops outside the capital.

There were originally more than 30,000 elite border troops in the imperial court outside the capital, and there were more than 28,000 left after the encirclement and suppression of the king of Pingxi.

When the reward is over some time ago, it will become a question how to continue to deal with this batch of borders.

Because it was close to the New Year's Festival at that time, and there was no war at the border pass, Chen Mo made a decision, and the imperial court paid the full travel expenses and festival expenses, so that these border army generals took their own soldiers to return to their hometowns for the New Year.

These pro-soldiers have been fighting abroad for three or five years all year round, and they may not have the opportunity to rotate once.

Now that they have the opportunity to come back, it is time for them to take a good rest.

It's almost the New Year, as long as there is nothing big, then it should be rested, even the big livestock on the cultivated land are resting, and of course people should rest.

Now there are only three or four thousand border troops left outside, and most of them are from the capital or nearby border cities.

Because of the proximity, they were not allowed to leave before, but now it will be the moon in two or three days, so they should naturally be let go too.

It's just that some officials are worried that if all the troops here are released, it may disturb the security of the capital.

In the end, Chen Mo made the decision, and he let it go, nothing more than arranging more patrols of the forbidden army.

Almost all of the forbidden troops were born in the capital or nearby border cities, and it was much easier to return home than the border army.

Even if they are busy this year, they will have the opportunity to go home in the future.

The border army is different, after the reunion at home this year, you have to go to the border pass, whether you can come back next time is still two words.

It was up to Chen Mo to make the decision, and the officials of the imperial court naturally had no opinions.

The court meeting ended, and a few days later, Mo Hu got married, and Chen Mo naturally prepared a congratulatory gift to send it in person.

According to his own words, the reason why the two sides met was a chance meeting, and then he was cheeky and found a way to meet a few times, so the two sides became familiar with each other.

And in the future, it was Mo Hu who asked his stepmother to help find someone to be a matchmaker, so there was this marriage.

On the day of the wedding, the lanterns are not lively, the gongs, drums, and suona are all extremely joyful.

Many people came to see the excitement, and Sun Shouren had already ordered people to prepare flowing water tables outside.

Everyone who comes is a guest, does not accept happy money and gifts, but congratulates them, and they can eat when they sit down.

These flowing water banquets set up outside are mainly for the neighbors and ordinary people.

In the courtyard of Mo Hu's newly bought house, red lanterns are hung high, and red happy flowers decorate the entire mansion with great festivity.

Many guests were like clouds, and countless congratulatory gifts were sent one by one.

With Chen Mo's identity, it doesn't matter if he comes in the end.

It's just that Mo Hu is his brother, and he specially came to help today to show his closeness.

The wedding ceremony soon began, and Mo Hu rode a tall horse early in the morning to welcome the bride back to his home.

His parents died early, and now even his brother is gone, and although there are other elders in the family, they are not in the capital.

So the high hall that is worshiped now is naturally the father and mother.

"Why don't I find a chance in a while, and let's do it too?" Chen Mo smiled and leaned into Zhao Yu's ear and whispered.

He could see it clearly just now, and Zhao Yu's eyes couldn't help but show longing and envy.

"Forget it, we've been married for so long, it's a joke to do this again." Zhao Yu's face turned red, lowered his voice and refused, and reached out and gently knocked it in Chen Mo's arms.

The wedding ceremony, she said she didn't want it, it was a lie.

A thing that only the person who has it is qualified to say that he does not want.

People who don't have to say that, most of the time it's not because they don't want it, but because they can't get it.

But she knew that she and Chen Mo had been married for a long time, and there were many people who knew that the two of them were married.

At this time, they have a wedding, what is it, it will definitely lead to jokes.

Chen Mo smiled slightly and didn't say anything more, but silently wrote down the matter in his heart.

The rules have never been used to restrain the strong, with their current status and status is nothing more than a wedding, as long as they find a suitable reason, they can be restarted.

As for the criticism behind it, there is no need to worry, as long as he finds a good reason casually, someone will explain it to him.

When the time comes, don't say that there is no criticism, and it will even become a beautiful talk.

It's just that there is no need to rush this matter, in a few months, and then we will do it in April and May, when the flowers are in full bloom.

After the marriage ceremony, Chen Mo and the others pulled Mo Hu to drink, and it would not stop if he didn't get drunk.

As for the haunted cave room at night, Chen Mo naturally would not participate in it again, so he accompanied Zhao Yu back to his house at the moment.

A few days later, Chen Mo went to the mirage to explore again, in order to seek stability, this time he was not ambitious, and the scale of exploration was still in the range of 2,000 people.

This time, I didn't encounter any buildings, but I gained a lot of mirages and was able to replenish my qi and blood.

In the days that followed, he continued to practice diligently every day, occasionally going to court to discuss matters, and insisted on taking time out to explore the mirage.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, Zhao Yu arranged for the servants at home to prepare the New Year's goods in advance, and successively gave them rest and bathed, so that they could go home to visit relatives.

Most of these servants were hired, not sold, and naturally had their own relatives.

Now that the New Year is over, it's time to go home for the New Year's rest, and of course you have to go back.

Chen Mo will not celebrate the New Year at home, his father-in-law is still in the capital, just go to his house directly.

The year-end is that you don't have to do anything, you have a busy year, and you should take a break and rest.

Even the imperial court meeting has stopped, as long as it is not a major event that the sky is falling, it will be discussed slowly after the tenth day of the new year.

In the blink of an eye, it is more than a month, and in February, it is the day of the cold spring.

News suddenly spread at the border of the imperial court, and the alien army gathered, and eighty percent wanted to knock on the pass again.

Empress Dowager Xu immediately urgently summoned hundreds of civil and military officials of the imperial court to discuss the matter.

Unlike the usual court meeting, this time the stakes are very high, so only officials above the third grade can participate in the discussion.

And Chen Mo was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother early, and the Queen Mother had to discuss with him before discussing matters with many officials.

"Come on, give Aiqing a seat." Empress Dowager Xu looked a little anxious, and ordered the palace people on the side.

"Aiqing, now that this alien race is knocking on the pass, if Da Li takes this opportunity to attack my border pass, how should we deal with it."

Before Chen Mo could sit down, she asked eagerly.

The alien race, although its own strength is not weak, but now it has been swept away by the first emperor's ploughing court, and even the dragon vein has been completely suppressed, although there is still some strength, it is difficult to have too much impact on Daqian.

As long as a few innate powerhouses are dispatched, and then a large army is sent over to suppress it, the troubles of the alien race can be easily pacified.

But now a few months have passed, and although the situation of those seriously injured congenital powerhouses is also improving little by little, they still can't go all out.

At this moment, the imperial court can mobilize the innate powerhouse, and the number is very small.

The main concern of Empress Dowager Xu is that if Da Li also mobilizes troops at this time, then the big dry belly will be attacked by the enemy, which is really tricky.

"Niangniang, don't worry, we have a covenant with Da Li, and they shouldn't do it easily. The ministers know a little about the internal situation of Dali, and their royal family does not want to start another war. ”

Chen Mo opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.

Although there is an alliance between the two countries, several innate powerhouses have also promised not to let Dali use their swords as much as possible.

But not everyone will necessarily abide by this kind of promise.

Except for the things that you can decide and the things that others promise, it is better not to fully believe them.

"Then with Aiqing's plan, what should I do about this?" Empress Xu's eyes were blazing, and she looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Troops should be sent as soon as possible to suppress the aliens, and an urgent order should be issued to the border armies, requiring them to immediately change their routes and rush to the border passes. led by Weichen, and went with Chu Tianxiu Chu's predecessors.

Then he sent Sun Shouren, the general of Zhenxi, to press the formation, transport grain and grass for the border army, and be responsible for logistics and defense affairs.

Now that spring ploughing is imminent, let's try to do it as quickly as possible, and don't give Dali a chance to transfer troops. ”

Chen Mo's tone was calm, and he made a general plan.

There are still a lot of details to fill in, but none of them are a big deal.

The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the Great Departure.

Fortunately, spring ploughing is coming soon, and even if Dali wants to make a big move, he has to wait for spring ploughing.

"Senior Chu guards the Wanfa Building, I think it's better not to do it, why don't you let the King of Nanshan go?" Empress Dowager Xu shook her head lightly, and asked tentatively.

The King of Nanshan she was talking about was none other than Zhao Xuanxin.

Chen Mo instantly understood what she meant, she didn't trust the royal family innate much now, after all, in the matter of King Pingxi before, the vast majority of the royal family innate martial artists were neutral.

Of course, there are various reasons for this, but Empress Xu still doesn't believe in them very much.

And Chu Tianxiu was different, he was really on the side of Empress Xu and His Majesty today.

Chen Mo wants to lead the army to the battle, if Chu Tianxiu leaves, then Empress Xu does not have a credible innate martial artist in the capital, and she naturally does not want to see such a situation happen.

"Okay, then according to Niangniang's policy, the minister and the king of Nanshan will go out together."

Chen Mo had no opinion on this, and got up and spoke.

Empress Dowager Xu also got up, and the two went to the Xuanzheng Hall together.

Since the general plan is to negotiate with Chen Mo, then the matter should be informed to the ministers, and they will make further additions.

And at this moment, in the Great Departure Court thousands of miles away, a controversy has already begun.
