Xia Hao looked at Chu Mo with a victorious smile on his face. He whispered in Chu Mo's ear, "How is it? King Chu … the feeling of being crowned king … is not bad, right? "
Looking at the frivolous Xia Hao, Chu Mo frowned slightly but did not say anything.
"Hmph, you caused my brother to become blind. You caused This King to be punished by my father and sent to the bitter north to suffer for several months … Chu Mo, let's play slowly!" Xia Hao's eyes revealed an uncontrollable gloom. "Sooner or later, This King will make you get what you deserve! King Chu … Ptui! "
"Are you done?" Chu Mo glanced at Xia Hao and said calmly.
"So what if I'm done?" Xia Hao laughed coldly.
"If you're done, then scram!" Chu Mo said.
"You …" Xia Hao did not expect Chu Mo to embarrass him in front of everyone. His face turned pale with anger.
He had indeed suffered a lot in the north border. His hatred for Chu Mo had reached a certain level.
Before he left, his father's decree clearly stated that he was not to provoke Chu Mo. He was to calmly take over Fan Wudi's military power and not cause any trouble. He was to control the situation. This was equivalent to victory!
Because he was here to pick the peaches!
Who would not want to be the commander of such a victorious army?
Unfortunately, Xia Hao was unable to suppress the hatred in his heart in the end.
Looking at Chu Mo's young face, his heart could not help but churn wildly.
He even blamed Chu Mo for the Crown Prince's blindness.
He thought that if Chu Mo had not interfered with the Crown Prince and Miao Yiniang's marriage, that vicious woman Shen Aobing would not have come.
If Shen Aobing didn't come, how could her brother's eyes … be blind?
Xia Hao was different from the Second Prince, Xia Xiong. He respected Xia Ying from the bottom of his heart and supported him with all his might.
Now that the situation had changed, the Crown Prince was crippled, and although the Second Brother didn't make any big moves, how could he hide it from the brothers who grew up with him?
"Second Brother wants to be the Crown Prince … Big Brother is completely crippled, and he has to bear the great shame of betraying his country. He will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame, never to rise again. And all of this … was caused by that bastard Chu Mo! "Xia Hao's heart was filled with hatred as he looked at Chu Mo with incomparable hatred.
Fan Wudi stared coldly at Xia Hao from the side. At the same time, his heart was icy cold.
Unexpectedly, his grandson was right about so many things.
Sure enough, the Emperor wanted to take away their military power, but he didn't expect that the Emperor would act so quickly … and so ruthlessly.
Chu Mo looked at Xia Hao and said calmly, "Third Prince, be a good prince and don't provoke things you shouldn't provoke. When picking peaches … you should have the attitude of picking peaches. It won't be bad for you to respect the person who planted the tree. "
The corner of the eunuch's mouth twitched, and his eyelids twitched.
Before he came, the Emperor had instructed him to keep an eye on Xia Hao. At the same time, he had to pay attention to Chu Mo's emotions. If Chu Mo's emotions fluctuated, then … he would immediately read the secret edict.
Therefore, when the eunuch saw the situation, he didn't hesitate to take out the secret edict and read it aloud while hating Xia Hao for being an idiot. "In accordance with the will of the heavens … today, Chu Mo is conferred the title of King Chu. He is bestowed with eighteen death-exemption medallions, which will be passed down from generation to generation. The eighteen death-exemption medallions … may be passed down to future generations!"
Xia Hao's face was livid, and his eyes were ferocious. He looked at Chu Mo with hatred.
Chu Mo looked at Xia Hao calmly, then turned to look at the eunuch who had come to read the edict.
Chu Mo also knew this eunuch. He was a trusted aide of the nameless old eunuch in the palace and could be considered the Emperor's confidant.
At that moment, the eunuch was looking at Chu Mo apologetically and uneasily.
The Emperor was truly a man of great talent and bold vision. He was ruthless and far-sighted. Moreover, his breadth of mind and bearing … could be considered one of the best among the previous emperors.
Recently, there was a rumor that a little princess of the royal family was a disciple of the Fairy Realm. Moreover, the Fairy Realm had always been protecting Da Xia.
At first, the Emperor was a little frightened. He had guessed that this was done by Chu Mo. While he was proud, he also felt very uneasy.
He couldn't forget the words that cold beauty — his sister-in-law, the leader of the Fairy Realm, Shen Aobing, had said in front of him.
And then, she had casually dug out the eyes of the Crown Prince, Xia Ying …
This matter had almost become the Emperor's deepest nightmare. He would often wake up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.
However, even after the news had spread for a long time, the Fairy Realm … actually didn't have any reaction!
At the same time, the Fairy Realm had publicly announced that Miao Yiniang, who had caused a huge uproar in Yan Huang City because of the legacy of the Misty Palace, had been accepted by Shen Aobing as the last disciple of the Fairy Realm!
These two matters made the Emperor's mind start to become active again. He felt that the Fairy Realm … seemed to have tacitly approved of this rumor!
If this was really the case, then … the threat of those sects to Da Xia was almost equivalent to being removed!
The other sects that were originally a little restless immediately became well-behaved. This also greatly increased the Emperor's confidence.
"In this world, how many sects would dare to go against the Fairy Realm?"
Subsequently, the Emperor thought about something on a deeper level.
By doing this, Chu Mo was equivalent to protecting the whole of Da Xia and pulling all the hatred onto himself.
Although the Emperor was very touched, at the same time, he also felt that this person, Chu Mo … was really too dangerous!
He wasn't afraid that Chu Mo would do anything detrimental to Da Xia, but he was afraid that Chu Mo would ultimately implicate the whole of Da Xia …
The Fairy Realm could protect Da Xia, but they might not protect Chu Mo!
The Emperor knew that Chu Mo was dissatisfied with the Fairy Realm!
At the same time, even if the Fairy Realm tacitly approved of this matter, they would definitely be dissatisfied with the instigator, Chu Mo …
Therefore, the relationship between Chu Mo and the Fairy Realm would definitely not be good.
Then … should he draw a line … with Chu Mo?
Emperors … were actually all ruthless and heartless, and they also had to be heartless.
At the crucial moment, they could even kill their own sons. Was there anything else that they could not do?
Especially since Chu Mo's teacher … had already ascended and left!
This news had already spread throughout the entire Four Symbols Continent. As the Emperor of Da Xia, there was no reason for the Emperor not to know about this matter.
In that case, the current Chu Mo had actually become a huge calamity!
Previously, those sects had absolutely no reason to let Chu Mo go, but on the side of Da Xia … they had the protection of the Fairy Realm.
This was the first reason.
The second reason was that Chu Mo's prestige in the army was getting higher and higher.
At first, no one paid attention to him. But now, after two great victories, the prestige of Chu Mo and the old general Fan Wudi in the army had already reached a level that made the Emperor feel threatened.
If they raised their arms and called for help, there would definitely be many people who would follow them.
Especially the miner corps … this was the most elite and strongest army in Da Xia. They must not fall into the hands of Chu Mo!
Otherwise, with just this team, he would be able to do too many things that he wanted to do.
The Emperor believed in Chu Mo's character, but it did not mean that he would allow Chu Mo's prestige in the army to continue to rise.
Faced with the Emperor's concerns, Fang Mingtong and Xu Zhongliang had nothing to say, because the Emperor's worries were actually normal. It was just that … it seemed a little unfair to treat Chu Mo this way.
Especially when the Third Prince, Xia Hao, was transferred back to take over the army that Fan Wudi had once been the commander of … this was clearly a form of distrust.
The Emperor was not sure whether there would be any backlash from Chu Mo's side. Thus, he gave the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict a secret edict.
"Haha." Chu Mo laughed.
