Before the second prince could ask, Chu Fansheng took the lead and said, "I want to apologize to my two brothers. This is my sister-in-law Wu Shuang. When she learned that my father was killed, she came here with her junior brother to express condolences. They are all children of the world. I don’t understand the rules of the secular world..."
"That's it." The second prince's expression softened. The most important thing was that he had stepped down. He smiled and said: "Fansheng, what are you talking about? Am I, Hongqi, such a narrow-minded person? ?”
As soon as these words came out, the fifth prince Hong Lan and his companions also laughed, and Chu Fansheng and others also laughed in agreement. Soon, the incident passed as a gag.
The few people talked for a while and then left the mourning hall. Chen Mo stopped paying attention to their subsequent conversation.
Two hours passed by in a hurry, and it was approaching evening in a blink of an eye, and the officials who came to express condolences were almost invisible. "When can I be buried?" Chen Molin asked the housekeeper Liu Fan before taking a rest.
"The third prince and the fourth prince have not come yet." Liu Fan said, "At this time tomorrow, I will be able to lay in peace."
Chu Wushuang had been crying all day, and her mood was very fragile. Chen Mo was worried about her, so he went over to greet her a few times. At this moment, a shout came out, making everyone's expressions suddenly tense.
"The king has arrived!!"
Chen Mo immediately noticed the aura of the same person who was building the foundation stepping into the courtyard. It was an old man with white hair and beard. He walked steadily and was surrounded by a group of people. On the surface, he looked no different from an ordinary old man.
Chu Wushuang also realized that the person who came was not malicious, and immediately became vigilant and consciously leaned behind Chen Mo.
"Mr. Wang, you are here." Chu Fansheng and his second brother Chu Fanshun said hello hurriedly.
The two brothers knew very well that the two ministers of the Chu State were peerless experts in protecting the safety of the Emperor of Chu. Although they had no real power, their status in the Chu State was second only to the emperor.
Chu Fansheng saw with his own eyes that the king in front of him severely injured the guard commander of the Royal Forest Army with just one move during a sparring match.
And the commander, who was once his father's personal guard, had been relying on his internal strength for more than thirty years, but he was defeated by him. The horror of it can be imagined.
Wang Zongfeng glanced at Chen Mo's sister and brother quietly, then came to the mourning hall to pay homage, and put the worship ceremony aside: "The Emperor of Chu is in ill health, and I have been specially ordered to come to visit you. Please take care of yourself, prisoner There is no way to escape from the emperor’s grasp.”
"With Emperor Chu's golden words, my father can finally rest in peace." Chu Fansheng said complimentarily.
"Fellow Taoist, see you outside the door."
Chen Mo suddenly heard an old voice in his ear. He knew the secret words, but Chen Mo was always paying attention to Wang Chongfeng's actions, but he didn't know how he said it.
At this moment, I saw the white-haired old man saying goodbye again. He quietly left the crowd while no one was paying attention.
"Junior brother, be careful." Chu Wushuang said with a little worry.
Chen Mo felt warm in his heart: "Don't worry, there won't be any danger." He found a corner where no one was paying attention, and left the General's Mansion on the long street in a flash.
On the other side, Wang Zongfeng asked his men to carry away the empty sedan, and he came to the long street. The moment he met Chen Mo, his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building was unabashedly displayed.
"I've met fellow Daoist Wang." Chen Mo took the lead and said with his hands in hand.
"Given your age, your cultivation level is quite high. I wonder where you come from?" Wang Chongfeng pondered for a while and said slowly.
Chen Mo said: "The Zuo Protector of the Fuyun Sect of Wei State, this is an identity token." Seeing that the man had finished observing, he took it back and said: "The deceased is the father of my fiancée. There is something fishy about it, so I came here to investigate."
"That's it." Wang Zongfeng said: "I thought this matter was related to Fuyun Sect. Since this matter is your family matter, we won't ask any more questions. We only hope that fellow Taoists can abide by the rules of the secular world and don't do anything. It’s shocking to the world, otherwise it would be very difficult for Zhaotian Sect and Guizong to deal with it.”
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist." Chen Mo's heart suddenly moved. He heard that Wang Zongfeng was talking about us, "So, there are two foundation-building masters in Chudu?"
"I Wang Yan, the one who is staying in the palace now is my senior brother Qian Jiang. If you have any difficulties, you can ask us."
"There is one now." Chen Mo had already figured out the matter, and he said: "I believe we all know clearly in our hearts that Chu Chengfeng's death is definitely not something those thieves can do. The prince, the second prince , or the third prince, if there is no instruction from one of these three people behind the scenes, who would dare to assassinate the general?"
"There is no prince." Wang Yan shook his head: "If there was a prince, there wouldn't be such chaos. Emperor Chu only has five elder brothers."
"No prince?"
Chen Mo said doubtfully: "What is this Emperor Chu thinking? A three-year-old child knows the truth well. A family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. If a country's society is not decided early, it will have to wait until its own oil is exhausted. Will you decide after you’re done?”
"The Emperor of Chu was suspicious by nature. If his elder brothers were too capable, he would be considered ambitious and wanted to usurp the throne, so he targeted and suppressed him everywhere. He looked down upon the incompetent elder brother. Just imagine this situation. How could a suitable candidate appear?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "To put it bluntly, fellow Daoist Wang, don't be angry. Since he can't make a decision, why don't you guys do it for him and we'll end the relationship?"
"Haha..." Wang Yanqian laughed a few times and said: "It seems that fellow Taoists have no experience in joining the world. Cultivators cannot interfere with the change of dynasties. What's more, Chu State is not only the Zhaotian Sect, such If you do this, you should also consider the feelings of other sects."
Chen Mo nodded and said: "I understand, you are only responsible for the safety of Emperor Chu. Don't let him die. As for other things, you don't care. Even if Chu Du is bleeding like a river, it has nothing to do with you."
"Fellow Taoist is a smart man, and some things he says can be understood easily."
"In this case, you will delegate your authority to me. Within seven days at most, everything will be peaceful in this city. Wouldn't it be great if you can resume your duties and avenge your father-in-law?"
Wang Yan looked as normal and said: "It's just what I want, but fellow Taoist, you have to be careful and don't show your prominence easily. It's best to deal with it in a low-key manner."
Chen Mo nodded in agreement, and immediately took the token made of gold that was thrown over: "This is the handwriting of Emperor Chu. With it in your hand, it's like the Emperor of Chu is here in person."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!"
Chen Mo bowed his hands and thanked them, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night, as if they had never met before.
...
Chen Mo's figure returned to the General's Mansion. At this time, everyone in the mourning hall had dispersed. He did not waste any time and first found Chu Wushuang who was alone in the room: "Call your second brother and third brother. I have Talk to them."
Chu Wushuang did not answer the question and asked: "That old man didn't hurt you, did he?"
"Well, it's not like monks are bound to take action when they meet."
Chen Mo knew that the explanation in three sentences or two was not clear, so he asked her to move first while he waited for them in the side hall.
Now that the plan has changed, Chen Mo quickly cut through the mess and ended it all quickly.
Not long after, the two brothers Chu Fansheng and Chu Fanshun arrived at the side hall, together with the housekeeper Liu Fan, the mistress of the Chu Mansion, Jia Shi, and Chu Wushuang who accompanied them.
Chen Mo was sitting in the main seat. He was completely different from what he had seen during the day. Liu Fan came in frightened. He thought it was due to his recent rudeness and that the other party was going to use him to scare the monkeys.
"Everyone, sit down."
Chen Mo looked at everyone's confused looks and didn't explain much. After they all listened to the order, he stood up and flicked his fingers to activate a stream of air.
In an instant, the four red doors of the side hall turned into a pool of foam, and not a single sound came out.
"I won't pretend anymore. Tell the truth. I'm a cultivator. If I want to kill anyone in this Chu capital, it's just a snap of my fingers."
Chen Mo looked at the shocked expressions of everyone except Chu Wushuang and was very satisfied. He continued:
"But don't be too nervous. I don't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I only kill people related to Chu Chengfeng's murder. Starting with you, Chu Fansheng!"
Although what Chen Mo said was plain, in the face of absolute power, it was no less than the roll call of Lord Yama. He looked at Chu Wushuang nervously, as if to say: This...is this your junior brother? ! Can you take care of it?
"Don't look around!"
Chen Mo walked up to him slowly: "As the second son, you can't tell clearly the time of Chu Chengfeng's whereabouts. Then you are fooling a child. Tell me, which prince are you colluding with?"
Chu Wushuang's eyes widened and she looked at Chu Fansheng in disbelief: "Second brother? This...is this impossible? Junior brother, have you found the wrong person?"
Chen Mo ignored Chu Wushuang's question and continued to press: "I'll give you three breaths to think about it. If you can't explain clearly, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Don't!! This immortal, I...I was wronged!!"
Chu Fansheng was so nervous that sweat dripped down his face. He believed that the reckless monk in front of him could really kill people when he said he would kill people!
"Oh? What an injustice."
"Hong Lan! It's Hong Lan! He has always wanted to win over us, relying on his father's power to make his second brother inherit the throne!!"
"Fifth prince?" Chen Mo's eyes flashed: "You agree?"
"How is that possible?!" Chu Fansheng said anxiously: "When my father was alive, he didn't dare to get involved in the whirlpool of the heir apparent easily. We have a few pounds and a few pounds, but we still dare to touch it without our lives!"
"Oh, I don't agree...then whose team are you on?"
Chen Mo's eyes drifted to Chu Fanshun again, and his thin body immediately shuddered: "Immortal! This has nothing to do with me!! You must not accuse people unjustly! Fourth sister... hurry up Please advise him..."
