"Tell me, what's going on?" The Emperor led Chu Mo, Xu Zhongliang, and Fang Mingtong into a quiet and elegant palace. As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Chu Mo and asked lightly.
Chu Mo said, "In the evening, a guard with a palace waist card drove a carriage to my mansion to pick me up. I thought it was you, the Emperor, or Marshal Fang, or Grand Secretary Xu, so I didn't suspect anything and got on the carriage. "
"We did send a carriage to pick you up." The Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Mo, "But it might be too late."
"That carriage didn't have windows, so I didn't suspect anything, because most of the carriages in the palace don't have windows!" Chu Mo said.
Fang Mingtong said, "To prevent a sneak attack."
Chu Mo nodded, "But I didn't go far before I felt something was wrong, because the direction of the turn was obviously not toward the palace!"
"You can tell that?" Xu Zhongliang looked surprised.
The Emperor's face was also a little surprised.
Only Fang Mingtong said, "What's so difficult about it? If a soldier doesn't even have this quality, then he's completely unqualified! "
"He's just a child." Xu Zhongliang sighed.
"He's going to be a soldier soon." Fang Mingtong said.
"You two … don't interrupt!" The Emperor was a little annoyed.
Chu Mo continued, "I had doubts in my heart, so I asked the carriage guard a few questions, but his answer didn't match the horse's mouth. I felt something was wrong on the spot. So, I punched the carriage, wanting to rush out. "
"The power of the Dragon Elephant is unparalleled. Not to mention a carriage, even the gate of the Prince Mansion couldn't withstand your kick." Fang Mingtong said with a smile.
The Emperor glared at Fang Mingtong and said, "And then?"
"I didn't manage to break the carriage with one punch," Chu Mo said calmly.
"How is that possible?" Xu Zhongliang didn't believe it. Even though he was a civil official, he wasn't completely clueless about the realms of martial artists.
Fang Mingtong was even more direct. "Could it be that the carriage … is stronger than the gate of the Prince Mansion?"
The Emperor angrily said: "Can you not mention the matter of the Prince Mansion?"
Fang Mingtong chuckled a few times and then closed his mouth. He really wanted to make the emperor feel uncomfortable. This was because he had always been unhappy with the emperor's indulgence of his younger brother's actions.
Chu Mo said, "That carriage is made of top-grade refined steel and meteoric iron. It was made by the master blacksmiths of the Ministry of Works and the sect! If you didn't use it to deal with me this time, I reckon that you would have used it as a New Year's gift to Your Majesty. "
That was the truth. It wasn't strange for such a sturdy carriage to be given to the emperor.
But the problem was that Chu Mo had just been imprisoned by this car and had almost been unable to escape. And now that he was saying these words to the emperor, it would be strange if the emperor thought well of it. How could he still think that this was a good thing?
Therefore, when Chu Mo said these words, the emperor's face darkened.
Fang Mingtong and Xu Zhongliang secretly looked at each other and thought to themselves, "This little bastard... is really decisive!" He's really ruthless!
"Then how did you get out?" the emperor asked.
Fang Mingtong and Xu Zhongliang were also very curious about this question.
Chu Mo smiled a little shyly. "My master … gave me a godly weapon! I used it to cut open the carriage and escaped. "
"Master … a godly weapon!" The emperor's eyes finally revealed a hint of seriousness.
Yes, this young man, who had been chased out of Yan Huang City by his own brother half a year ago, had only used half a year to make a magnificent comeback. If one were to say that there wasn't a terrifying expert behind him, he wouldn't believe it.
"And then I interrogated the coachman to find out who had ordered him to do so." A hint of anger appeared on Chu Mo's face. "In the end, he confessed to Assistant Minister of Works Zhao Yi. At that time, I didn't believe it. I have no grudges with Zhao Yi. Why would Zhao Yi, a mere Assistant Minister of Works, find trouble with me? "
At this time, the emperor interrupted, "Didn't Zhao Yi say that he had a grudge with your grandfather?"
Chu Mo suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor seriously with his black and white eyes.
The emperor of Da Xia actually felt a little guilty under Chu Mo's gaze. He couldn't help but want to avoid Chu Mo's gaze.
"Your Majesty … also believes Zhao Yi's words?" Chu Mo's voice was a little cold and airy, like a gust of wind in winter.
The emperor was slightly taken aback and looked at Chu Mo with narrowed eyes.
Chu Mo continued, "Your Majesty also believes that an old general who has been loyal to Da Xia and fought for Your Majesty his entire life … would be someone who would do such a thing?"
Xu Zhongliang saw that things were getting bad from the side. In his heart, he blamed the emperor for saying such words. He immediately said, "Chu Mo, the emperor didn't mean it that way!"
On the side, Fang Mingtong also said, "His Majesty only said something thoughtlessly, it was just a casual remark."
At this time, the emperor finally reacted. The person he was facing was not the ordinary son of a general from half a year ago. Instead, he had a terrifying expert behind him, a young hero who had stirred up huge waves on the plains!
If he had said those words to the Chu Mo half a year ago, it wouldn't have been a problem at all. He was just a child. The emperor had already spoken a few words to him because he was on a high platform. And he still dared to nitpick?
But if he had said those words to the current Chu Mo, then the emperor's words seemed a little frivolous!
It was impossible for a dignified emperor to bow his head and admit his mistake, so the emperor smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Go on."
Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel that at this moment, Fang Mingtong and Xu Zhongliang must be very nervous. They were all afraid that he would do something that would shock the world.
Chu Mo was not that stupid, but in his heart, he was really a little disappointed with the emperor.
What the emperor had said just now might have been unintentional, but it was this kind of unintentional words that was the most terrible!
Because unintentional words often meant … that was what he thought in his heart!
Thinking about it, Chu Mo suddenly laughed, shook his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, you can't ask me why Zhao Yi made trouble for me. You have to ask your eldest son … His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! As for the reason, I don't want to explain. I believe that you have seen everything just now. "
"Chu Mo, you …" Xu Zhongliang felt his vision turning black. The thing that he was most afraid of had finally happened. This rebellious boy finally showed his most courageous side. He dared to directly fall out with the emperor in front of him.
Chu Mo waved his hand and said softly, "I'm just a child, I can't afford to get involved in so many national affairs, and I can't afford to get involved in those palace feuds. Zhao Yi slandered my grandfather and wanted to harm me. I will chop off his dog head. That coachman is a Third Stage Origin Gate Martial Artist, whether to kill, keep, interrogate, or let go, it is up to Your Majesty to decide. I have performed meritorious deeds in the grasslands, and you want to give me the Hero's Medal. I am very grateful that you think highly of me. However, I was also wrong to execute a Fourth Rank official of Da Xia without teaching him. This matter, let's cancel each other out. If there is nothing else, I want to go home. "
"That dog official Zhao Yi? Even a thousand of him can't compare to a Hero's Medal! "Fang Mingtong was a little angry, and looked at Chu Mo," Do you think the Hero's Medal is child's play? "
The emperor's face also became a little ugly. He really didn't expect that his casual words would cause such a big reaction from this boy.
Chu Mo raised his head, looked at Fang Mingtong, and then looked at the emperor, "The Hero's Medal, of course, is not child's play. It carries the thick history of Da Xia, and is a medal that was dyed with the blood of countless heroes!"
"You know that …"
Chu Mo said seriously, "But my grandfather's reputation is also not child's play!"
