Chu Mo smiled Coldly. "I'm just picking peaches. Everyone knows that Da Qi is only left with one last piece of fig leaf. As long as this fig leaf is removed … Da Qi's vast territory will be yours to take. The Emperor promised me that as long as I conquer the territory, it will all belong to me and become my fief. How could he allow me to stay in the army? Using Da Xia's army to conquer my own territory? "
"Using Da Xia's army to conquer your own territory …" The one-armed uncle stared at Chu Mo in shock. Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Young Master, you are not stupid at all. These words hit the nail on the head."
"That's why I don't want to fall out with the Emperor. As long as he doesn't go too far, I can tolerate it." Chu Mo said plainly.
"Then, we should start preparing to shift our focus … to Da Qi?" The one-armed uncle looked at Chu Mo and scratched his head. "But the problem is … where can we conquer our territory now?"
"Where does Uncle One Arm think is good?" Chu Mo asked with a smile.
The one-armed uncle thought for a while and smiled bitterly. "It's not ours … However, if it's really possible, then it would naturally be better if it's adjacent to Da Xia's territory! Whether it's in terms of richness or safety, the vast territory near the Broken Heaven Mountain Range is more suitable. "
"Alright, then we'll build the capital there." Chu Mo said.
"Build a capital …" The one-armed uncle couldn't help but take a deep breath and murmur, "Yes, a king of your rank is already a true vassal king … You ought to have your own economic and political center. Building a capital … is also inevitable. However, why do I feel like I'm dreaming? The Young Master that I've watched grow up … has actually become a King? "
As he said that, the one-armed uncle murmured, "This area should be deserted. Recruiting soldiers and buying horses … will take some time. This isn't something that can be solved immediately with money."
"It doesn't matter …" Chu Mo smiled. "We have ready-made troops!"
The one-armed uncle narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid … the general won't agree!"
Chu Mo laughed and said, "I didn't say that I'm going to touch Da Xia's army. It's fine if they're willing to follow me."
The one-armed uncle looked at Chu Mo. "Then what does Young Master mean?"
Chu Mo said, "It won't be a problem to borrow thirty to fifty thousand troops from the grassland royal court."
"Prairie King's Court …" The one-armed uncle muttered, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "I forgot about the story between Young Master and the Prairie Queen … Hahahaha!"
Sui Hongru finally understood where his Young Master's confidence came from. He didn't even have a single soldier under his command, yet he dared to say that he was going to occupy Da Qi's territory.
Thinking of his Young Master's influence on the situation of the grasslands and the help he had given Queen Na Yi, asking for help and borrowing some troops was definitely not a problem.
"As for the population … this is actually very simple." Chu Mo said, "As long as our conditions are the best, there is no need to worry that no one will go there. The war between the Great Xia and the Great Qi Kingdom would not end in three to five months. When the time comes, it won't be just Da Qi's side that can't bear it! "
Sui Hongru nodded and sighed, "Yes. When the common people can't live on, they will find a way to save themselves."
"We are not trying to find a way to survive. We are going to bite off a big chunk of meat from Da Qi. Then, we will slowly digest it. I will make my Chu Country the most powerful country in the world!" Chu Mo said lightly, "Even if it is just a small piece of land … I will make it so that no one, whether it is the secular world or the sects, will dare to come here and behave atrociously!"
Sui Hongru looked at the serious Chu Mo, and the hot blood of a soldier in his heart was ignited. "Young Master, no matter what, we will follow Young Master and support you forever!"
…
The next morning, at the Ethereal Palace Royal Academy, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and music filled the air.
The conferring ceremony for Chu Mo and Fan Wudi would be held here.
At this time, Chu Mo was still in the midst of his preparations. He was wearing a set of clothes that only a Marquis had the right to wear. This set of clothes was made by a tailor of the Royal Family of Da Xia, and it fit Chu Mo very well.
He looked very heroic!
Xu Fufu stood beside Chu Mo, his face filled with anger. "Chu Xiaohei, you are not a brother!"
"Xu Fufu, how am I not a brother?" Chu Mo looked at Xu Fufu helplessly.
It wasn't that he didn't dare to tell Xu Fufu some things, but that he really couldn't!
The old man behind Xu Fufu, Xu Zhongliang, was the First Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, and a trusted official of the Emperor. Privately, he was Chu Mo's benefactor, and had always taken good care of him. Even when facing pressure from the Crown Prince, Xu Zhongliang had never backed down.
How could Chu Mo bear to drag such a respectable old man down with him?
Once Xu Fufu knew some things, he would definitely stand on Chu Mo's side. Although he was the Tenth Young Master of the Xu Residence, and outsiders felt that he didn't do proper work, he was still a member of the Xu Family!
If Xu Fufu stood on his side, what would the Xu Family do?
Chu Mo didn't have a falling out with the Imperial Family now.
It could only be said that after the Emperor was done using Chu Mo, he gave him a great title and a bunch of useless gold medals. He didn't give any substantial benefits at all, which made people feel that the Imperial Family was cold.
However, if Xu Fufu stood on Chu Mo's side and supported Chu Mo, then the nature of things would change completely.
Chu Mo could openly take away a group of people from Da Xia's side, but this group definitely couldn't include Xu Fufu.
Therefore, in the face of Xu Fufu's rage, Chu Mo could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
"What do you think you're doing? Do you really think that I don't know anything? "Xu Fufu glared at Chu Mo." Don't forget, I'm also a member of Shitian! "
Chu Mo scratched his head and said, "What do you want?"
"I'll go with you! I'll go wherever you go! What do you mean? "Xu Fufu said angrily," Do you think that I'm a burden now? "
Chu Mo smiled bitterly and said, "We're brothers, how can I treat you as a burden? Besides, you're a Golden Stone Realm expert … Who dares to treat you as a burden? "
"You know that I'm in the Golden Stone Realm?" Xu Fufu took a deep breath and looked at Chu Mo. He said seriously, "If necessary, brother can directly leave the Xu Family!"
"No way!" Chu Mo rejected him flatly. "Your surname is Xu, you can't leave!"
"This is also my grandfather's intention," Xu Fufu said lightly.
