What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 148 Su Mo is exhausted, and Qian Hu is overjoyed!
Su Mo stared in disbelief at the sight of the mature woman lying on the bed, bound like a dumpling, unable to move!
The sturdy hemp rope sank deep into her voluptuous body, giving Su Mo an indescribable sense of familiarity.

The scene seemed familiar.

Su Mo initially guessed that Xue Yishu, who had a criminal record, was coming.

I also thought of her as the chivalrous woman Chen, determined to travel the world.

The only thing I never expected was that the one who secretly came to Shenjing to find me would be the gossipy and domineering Liu Siyun!

She was the general who stayed in Changping County to oversee the overall situation!
What will happen to the business in Changping County now that she's gone?
It seems like no one can handle it!

The snake demon older sister looked at Su Mo with a resentful expression: "Could you please stop looking and untie the ropes binding me?"

Su Mo pointed his sword at the mature woman and slashed, causing the ropes to snap.

However, she sank too deep and had to be pulled down by hand!
The mature woman, now freed from her restraints, lay limp and powerless on the couch.

It was clear that the aloof Qianhu, who was at the Guiqiao Realm, had sealed his meridians by some unknown means.

Liu Siyun is a first-rate expert; otherwise, how could a mere hemp rope bind her?

Su Mo placed his hands on Liu Siyun's chest and circulated his Yuan Yang magic power throughout his body.

Sure enough, they found several acupoints that were blocked by magical power, preventing the flow of blood and qi.

However, her magical power was constantly dissipating, and it was estimated that Liu Siyun would recover in about an hour without her having to take action herself.

After performing acupressure on Liu Siyun, Su Mo frowned and asked, "Why did you come to Shenjing?"

"Who's keeping an eye on Changping County?"

Liu Siyun's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice was on the verge of tears: "If I don't run away, I'm afraid I'll never see Su Lang again!"

Su Mo's expression darkened slightly: "What happened? The Fu family?"

Liu Siyun gritted her teeth: "The Fu family wants to give me to a high-ranking official in the capital so that I can find a new patron."

"My indenture is in the hands of the Fu family. How can I resist? I have no choice but to leave Changping."

She took a deep breath and said, "I came to the capital secretly to see my beloved one last time, and then..."

"Then I'll go to Xianyan Mountain and become a bandit."

Liu Siyun was of slave status, even lower than a lowly status.

Once the Fu family reports this to the authorities, Liu Siyun will be a runaway slave with nowhere to go in the world.

If caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Su Lang's face grew increasingly dark, and he said coldly, "Didn't you tell the Fu family that you are already my woman?"

"And who is this high-ranking official in the capital?"

Although Commander Fu is already dead.

However, the Fu family has a profound background and is one of the most prominent families in Yong'an Prefecture. The officials of the imperial court who can get the Fu family to take the initiative to approach them must be of a high status!
Liu Siyun hesitated for a moment, then said, "That person is the Five Observatory Spirit Observer of the Imperial Observatory."

Su Mo's expression suddenly changed!
The Great Wu Dynasty was different from other dynasties in history.

This is a world of cultivation!

Historically, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was not a high-ranking or powerful department.

But in the Great Wu Dynasty, the Imperial Observatory was... the representative of celestial authority!

Yuan Xingdao, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, was a Grand Secretary of the Star Observation Hall and one of the cabinet's top officials, holding the rank of Second Grade!

Lin Moyin once gave Su Mo a serious warning.

In the capital, there was no one the Imperial Guards dared not provoke.

The only exceptions are the three.

First, there were imperial relatives; second, there was the Fengming Division; and third, there was the Imperial Observatory!
The nobles can only be considered half a noble!

It still has to be nobles of the duke or marquis level!

The Wuguan Lingtai Lang was a rather powerful official position in the Imperial Observatory, responsible for observing celestial phenomena and calculating the dynasty's fortune. He was a fifth-rank official.

Let alone Su Mo, even if they were both of the fifth rank, Su Mo's biggest backer, Commander Lin, might not be able to afford to offend him!
Liu Siyun stared intently at Su Mo.

Although she did not believe that Su Mo, a minor officer in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was capable of confronting the Five Observatory Masters of the Imperial Observatory.

This is a powerful backer that the Fu family desperately wants to rely on!

But now, the only person Liu Siyun can rely on is Su Mo!
In fact, if Su Mo gave up on her.

She can't even go to Xianyan Mountain!
Su Mo would never allow a runaway slave, coveted by high-ranking officials of the Imperial Observatory and a family of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to enter Xianyan Mountain and ruin his foundation!

Su Mo pondered for a long time with a dark face, and finally looked up at Liu Siyun: "A man of great talent and wisdom, a high-ranking official in the court, with great power and influence, far surpasses me, a mere lowly official in the Imperial Guard!"

Why don't you want to take refuge with him?

Upon hearing this, Liu Siyun's pretty face turned deathly pale. She then took a deep breath and looked at Su Mo with a bitter smile: "Is this how you see me, Su Lang?"

"Although I come from a humble background, I once offered myself to you, my lord, in order to escape my status as a slave!"

"But I also have my dignity, and I absolutely refuse to become a plaything to be manipulated by others!"

She paused, then gave a bitter laugh, "If I obey the Fu family's wishes, I'll be Lingtai Lang's favored slave. But if Lingtai Lang gives me away to someone else in the future..."

Liu Siyun gritted her teeth: "I'd rather... die!"

Su Mo nodded: "In that case, you may stay at home!"

He then sneered, "I'd like to see if the Fu family dares to come to my residence and snatch someone away!"

Liu Siyun was taken aback: "This servant... will stay in your residence, sir?"

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Young master, aren't you afraid... of Lingtai Lang?"

Su Mo said calmly, "Since they've come to bully us like this, it's pointless to be afraid or not."

He paused, then laughed and said, "Besides, that Lingtai Lang may not know the inside story; he might just be being used by the Fu family."

This happened.

Su Mo naturally had no interest in engaging in intimate acts with Liu Siyun.

A fifth-rank official in the Imperial Observatory!

I wonder if she can withstand the cold!
He wrote a letter himself, asking her to find a way to get back Liu Siyun's indenture!

Hmph! If you can't even do this.

The revenue from the East and West markets can be split up in the future.

He paid a full 50% protection fee, plus the cost of Bai Yujing, amounting to tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

If Fengming Division can't even handle this small problem, then what's the point of paying protection money?
After telling Liu Siyun to rest first, Su Mo went straight to the study and wrote another letter.
Afterwards, he consulted with the commander of the thousand households about this matter, and also handed the letter to the young female captain to deliver to the Fengming Division!

As soon as I stepped out the door...

Then Yin Rou swayed her hips and walked gracefully towards them.

Seeing Su Mo walk out of the side door, Yin Rou was slightly taken aback, but immediately handed Su Mo a letter.

"Commander Su, this is a letter from Commander Qianhu, sent by my subordinate to deliver to you!"

Su Mo was stunned.

He took the letter with suspicion, opened it, and read it.

Inside was a somewhat yellowed indenture.

Liu Siyun's indenture!

Su Mo was speechless for a moment.

He rarely showed any backbone, and was prepared to mobilize all his connections, borrowing the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Phoenix Cry Division, and even Zhang Xuzu's Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

He will have a showdown with the Five Officials of the Imperial Observatory and the Fu family.

result……

The next second, the aloof commander of Fengming Division delivered Liu Siyun's indenture!

Su Mo was both amused and exasperated!

You know what, even though Fengming Si is ruthless, he still demands half of his profits right off the bat.

But they really did deliver!

They only do things once they've received the money!
I wrote to Leng Xixi about Liu Siyun not long ago, and now the indenture has arrived!
However, this is for the best.

I am still inexperienced and, although I have some connections in the capital, apart from Lord Qianhu, the others are not reliable.

The Fu family is far away in Yong'an Prefecture and enjoys the emperor's favor, so it's best to avoid fighting if possible.

Of course, Su Mo had already noted the Fu family down in her notebook.

Knowing full well that Liu Siyun was one of his own, he still gave her to the official in charge of the Imperial Observatory.

When the time is right, we will uproot it completely to prevent future troubles!
Su Mo returned to the inner quarters with the indenture.

Liu Siyun was sitting on the bed with mixed feelings when she was slightly startled to see Su Mo suddenly return.

But before she could speak, Su Mo handed her a piece of paper and said with a smile, "Take this and put it away!"

"We'll go to the government office tomorrow and get you released from your slave status!"

Liu Siyun took it and exclaimed in shock, "My...contract of sale?"

She stared at Su Mo in disbelief, her voice trembling, "My lord... this is really... my indenture?"

Su Mo explained, "I asked someone to get it back from the Fu family earlier."

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. I just had it delivered."

Liu Siyun stared blankly at Su Mo.

Su Lang truly takes his own affairs to heart!
I promised to get my indenture back within a year, but only three months have passed!
After a moment of silence, Liu Siyun's pretty face suddenly turned shy, and she whispered, "It's already night... shall I... shall I serve my lord to bed?"

Seeing the mature woman's shy demeanor, Su Mo naturally recalled her special abilities!
That four-centimeter-long serpent slithered across his entire body, indescribable!
Wonderful!

He quickly took a breath: "I've been busy at the restaurant all day, I'm covered in sweat and stench, let me go wash up first!"

The mature woman's pretty face turned even redder!

"I have just arrived in the capital, covered in dust and grime, and wish to bathe and cleanse myself..."

The five-courtyard mansion has a dedicated bathing room (bathroom) located on the west side of the house, connected to the bedroom.

The beautiful maid Jiang Lan had already prepared a large wooden tub of warm water for Su Mo.

The wooden barrel is so big that it can fit two people!

One person is standing, and the other is squatting!
……

Half an hour later.

Su Mo was about to continue.

Jiang Lan suddenly knocked on the door of the nunnery and whispered outside, "My lord, Commander Lin has sent someone to see you. He has important matters to discuss with you, Master Su!"

Su Mo was immediately stunned.

Why is Lord Qianhu looking for me at this time? Is it because of the Misty Rain Pavilion?

However, since it was important, Su Mo could only pat the mature woman's head.

Then he called Jiang Lan in and helped him put on his robes.

Then Jiang Lan was asked to prepare a side room for Liu Siyun.

Upon exiting the courtyard, one would see Tan Jin waiting respectfully outside.

Su Mo casually asked, "What business does Lord Lin have with me?"

Tan Jin quickly replied, "I don't know, Commander Qian only instructed me to invite Lord Su over."

Su Mo and Tan Jin arrived at Lin Moyin's residence together!

Lin Moyin's pretty face was filled with excitement when she saw Su Mo.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sniffed and then glared at Su Mo fiercely: "Hmph! Another woman!"

Seeing that the commander had a keen sense of smell, Su Mo felt guilty and quickly asked, "What business does the commander have with me?"

Lin Moyin snorted again before saying, "Just now, Zhang Xuzu brought over three spirit peaches!"

"I need your vital energy to help me break through my cultivation level!"

I won't say anything more.

Full of resentment!

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was suddenly dumbfounded, staring intently at the top of the commander's head.

The long-unseen yellow exclamation mark suddenly popped up, flashing brightly!

A mission has arrived!

Su Mo quickly opened the task!

[Lin Moyin]: Commander of the Imperial Guard (90%), Intimacy Level 2
[Task]: Promotion
[Requirement]: Help Lin Moyin break through the Divine Transcendence Realm and advance to the Returning Aperture Realm!

[Note]: Lin Moyin has been in the Divine Realm for several years, but upon receiving a message from her master, she has chosen to forcefully break through her realm!

[Hint]: The power of Yuan Yang can increase her chances of promotion!

[Tip]: Ganling Dew can neutralize the medicinal properties of the Five Elements Spirit Peach and the Divine Essence Pill.

[Reward]: Ten years of cultivation! Mastery of the Green Wood Technique! Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

……

Su Mo took a deep breath!

Judging from the prompt, Lin Moyin was forced to raise her cultivation level?
Why does she have to advance in cultivation level just because her master sends her a message?

However, even if he asked, Lin Moyin probably wouldn't answer the question.

His gaze fell upon the reward!
Three rewards in total!

The first one requires ten years of cultivation!
It might instantly help me advance to the Soul-Stabilizing Realm!

After arriving in Shenjing, Su Mo was careful in everything he did and tried every means to find a powerful backer.

Isn't it simply because my strength is too weak, while there are too many powerful people in Shenjing?

If one can advance to the Soul-Stabilizing Realm.

They encountered Zhang Xuzu again, a top-tier master who acted as a one-armed bodyguard.

It's absolutely impossible for us to be no match for them again, like before!

The second reward is mastery of the Green Wood Technique.

That's quite remarkable!
Just started, and already twice the strength of my body!
If one reaches the highest level of mastery, wouldn't one be invulnerable to swords and spears, and difficult for ordinary weapons to harm?

The third promotion reward.

Su Mo valued it the least.

That bastard Leng Xixi said he wouldn't let me be promoted to trial centurion, cutting off my official career path in the Embroidered Uniform Guard system. Whether I'm promoted or not is meaningless!

Of course, getting promoted is always better than not getting promoted!

Seeing Su Mo suddenly freeze, Lin Moyin asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with you?"

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Could it be that you are unwilling to help... me get promoted?"

Su Mo then came to her senses.

"of course not!"

He frowned: "But didn't Zhang Xuzu say that the spirit peaches would be delivered a month later?"

"How could it be available so quickly? Could it be fake?"

Lin Moyin breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "I don't know either, but they are definitely three water-elemental peaches!"

Su Mo asked again, "What about the Grade Three Divine Essence Pill..."

Lin Moyin immediately said, "He should be sent along as well!"

Su Mo was speechless.

The Divine Essence Pill is worth two thousand taels of silver!

How could that poor bastard Zhang Xuzu bear to give it away?

Is the soap business really that powerful?
Or was it because Zhang Xuzu saw that Bai Yujing's business was booming and wanted to get involved?
However, the most important thing is for Lord Qianhu to improve his cultivation level; who cares what Zhang Xuzuan is thinking!
Su Mo looked at Lin Moyin with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "I have heard that Gan Linglu can neutralize the medicinal power of the Five Elements Spirit Peach and the Divine Essence Pill, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the medicine."

"Have you prepared any Ganling Dew?"

Lin Moyin was taken aback upon hearing this: "Can Ganling Dew enhance the effects of Five Elements Spirit Peach and Divine Essence Pill? Where did you hear that?"

He paused for a moment: "An old man with a white beard in the snow?"

No wonder Lin Moyin found it strange.

There are countless spiritual herbs in the world, but the secret formulas for reaching the Divine Realm are limited to only a few.

Moreover, those who know the secret formula either keep it hidden or it is controlled by the imperial court or Taoist sects.

It's impossible for outsiders to obtain the formula for the miraculous medicine!
Advancing to a higher realm is extremely dangerous for cultivators. The slightest mistake can lead to a decrease in their cultivation level, or even worse, demonic possession or death due to the backlash of their magical power!

Lin Moyin dared not take risks easily, nor did she follow the path of her predecessors. Instead, she risked her life to innovate and benefit future generations!

Su Mo...

He could only cough twice: "Never mind that old man with the white beard, he can't be wrong!"

"Just listen to me!"

Lin Moyin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Mm!"

Ganling Dew is usually used to replenish mana in an emergency, and it is not expensive, so Lin Moyin naturally has some.

Given their current relationship, there is no obstacle to their cultivation!
After removing his clothes, Lord Qianhu was poised and no longer tried to hide his unlucky features, clearly having come to terms with his unusual nature.

Su Mo, that wicked man, seems to genuinely like her like that, especially enjoying playing with that area.

After preparation.

Lin Moyin swallowed three spirit peaches, three divine essence pills, and then drank a bottle of sweet spirit dew!

Her pretty face turned serious. She glanced at the Vajra Pestle hanging around Su Mo's neck, but said nothing else. She simply said in a deep voice, "Hold me tight!"

He paused, then warned Su Mo, "When advancing to a higher realm, you must not be distracted!"

"Don't touch me... Don't touch me anywhere!"

Su Mo nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's important!"

He casually wrapped his arms around Lord Qianhu, the two of them tightly connected, leaving no gap.

Lord Qianhu's body was several times colder than before, as if he were holding a piece of ancient ice!
Su Mo shivered, then without further hesitation, activated all of his Yuan Yang magic power, which was at the peak of the early stage of the Observation Realm.

Input the energy into Lin Moyin's dantian using both hands!
Lin Moyin immediately activated the Heavenly Serpent Yin Sha Technique, and the extremely cold and yin power flowed throughout her body!
His face turned pale instantly!

A thick white mist emanated from every pore of the body, condensing and refusing to dissipate.

A moment later, thick fog enveloped Su Mo and Lin Moyin!

Su Mo felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Chilling to the bone!

In particular, when Lin Moyin's Yin Sha magic power circulated to her dantian, the Yuan Yang magic power she had inputted was instantly devoured.

A bone-chilling cold seeped into my hands, instantly making my arms stiff and cold!
Su Mo gasped.

Only then did I realize that in the past, when cultivating, Lord Qianhu always concealed his magical power.

Now, as I strive to reach a higher realm, I'm operating at full power.

His own Yuan Yang power, at the peak of the early stage of the Body Observation Realm, was insignificant compared to her vast Yin Sha power!
If I keep absorbing like this, I'm afraid I won't even last the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!
Fortunately, there's the Vajra Pestle!
The warm current from the Vajra Pestle surged in, protecting Su Mo's heart meridian, and Su Mo was finally not frozen stiff by the bone-chilling cold!
One cup of tea, two cups of tea, three cups of tea!

Su Mo's magical power had been completely drained, and even his body temperature seemed to have been absorbed by Lin Moyin.

Frost covered the ends of my hair and eyelashes, and I was frozen stiff and unable to move!
No more warm current flowed into the Vajra Pestle!
But Lin Moyin's suction showed no signs of stopping at all!

Just as Su Mo was secretly realizing something was wrong, thinking that Lin Moyin would suck him dry into a dried corpse!

Just then, Lin Moyin's eyelashes trembled slightly.

A gentle force repelled Su Mo out of the white mist!
Su Mo took a few deep breaths and finally regained some warmth, but still felt weak and exhausted as she leaned against the bedside.

Our gaze fell upon Lord Qianhu!

The white mist had dissipated considerably, revealing the Thousand Commander, whose long eyelashes trembled incessantly, her pretty face contorted in pain!
Clearly, the most crucial moment has arrived!
But Su Mo had no other way to help her!
Another quarter of an hour has passed.

Suddenly, Lin Moyin opened her mouth and inhaled sharply.

The white mist was completely swallowed!

The thunderous sound reverberated within his body, causing many of the furnishings in the room to fall and shatter!
Then, a thunderous roar erupted, and a terrifying shockwave surged forth from Lin Moyin's body!

Lord Qianhu, it's blown up!
Then, a complete transformation!
As the thunderous sound faded, Lin Moyin's eyes suddenly snapped open!

His sharp gaze, like a sword, fell upon Su Mo!

Su Mo had a strange feeling that the next second, he would be killed by Lord Qianhu's sword-like gaze!

I broke out in a cold sweat instantly!

Fortunately, Lord Qianhu quickly suppressed the sharp, murderous intent in his eyes.

Then, her pretty face lit up with immense joy as she looked excitedly at Su Mo!

The lips are slightly open.

"Su Lang!"

"Your Majesty!"

"I've reached the Returning to the Core Realm!"

Double monthly tickets for the last day! Congratulations to Lord Qianhu on advancing to the next realm! Please give me a vote, hehe!
