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

Chapter 66 The Heavenly Mother Cult Wants to Dig Up the Empress's Ancestral Tomb!
Su Mo noticed the female centurion's expression change drastically, clearly indicating she knew something.

He quickly asked, "Sir, have you guessed the Heavenly Mother Cult's plot?"

The female centurion took two deep breaths to suppress the shock in her heart, as well as the barely perceptible secret joy.

"Come here!"

Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, but still moved closer to the female commander.

Lin Moyin leaned forward, her cherry lips almost touching Su Mo's ear.

A faint fragrance wafted into Su Mo's nostrils.

Especially his enormous and imposing figure, which became even more striking as he leaned forward, causing Su Mo's gaze to involuntarily drift downwards.

The female commander was completely oblivious to Su Mo's unbridled gaze.

They didn't even realize how intimate their current posture was!
Even when she was close to Su Mo's ear, her voice was still extremely low, and she slowly uttered three words: "Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum!"

Su Mo gasped, looked up sharply, almost bumping into the female commander, and exclaimed, "The Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum?"

The female commander nodded: "Not bad!"

"The target of the Heavenly Mother Cult is definitely the Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum!"

Feeling Su Mo's hot breath, the female officer frowned and moved slightly away.

With her bare hands, she dipped them in tea and roughly outlined the terrain of Taihe County on the table!

"Yong'an Prefecture wasn't originally called Yong'an Prefecture, and Taihe County wasn't originally called Taihe County either!"

"These names were all changed after the founding of the Great Wu Kingdom, signifying the Great Wu Dynasty, eternal peace and harmony!"

"Emperor Taizu's ancestral home was Yong'an, and when the country was founded, Yong'an almost became the capital!"

She pointed to a mountain valley outlined on the table: "This is where the Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum is located!"

Her jade-like finger moved and landed beside her: "This is the Dragon Gate Cave!"

"Less than ten miles from the Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum!"

Her jade finger moved slightly again: "This is where the guards and soldiers are located, and they are in coordination with the tomb-guarding guards!"

Lin Moyin flicked her sleeve, wiping away the water stains on the table, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "The Heavenly Mother Cult must be hiding in the Dragon Gate Cave, and there are quite a few of them!"

"As long as we lure the Taihe Guards and soldiers away from their camps and move to the county town, we can prepare for the influx of refugees."

"At that time, the followers of the Heavenly Mother Sect will emerge from the Dragon Gate Cave!"

"The thousand soldiers guarding the ancestral mausoleum alone are absolutely no match for the Heavenly Mother Cult, who have been plotting for so long!"

At this point, the female commander couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear on her face: "If the ancestral imperial tomb is destroyed, the world will surely be thrown into turmoil! From top to bottom, no official in the entire Yong'an Prefecture will be spared!"

The same applies to the commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In fact, as a high-ranking official, she was responsible for protecting the safety of the ancestral imperial mausoleum!

Su Mo was also dumbfounded after hearing this.

Digging up someone's ancestral graves is something you'll fight tooth and nail for, no matter what!

Not to mention digging up the emperor's ancestral tombs!
No wonder Lord Hyakuho, while shocked, also showed a hint of smugness!
The destruction of the imperial tombs would be a catastrophic disaster.

But destroying the Heavenly Mother Cult's conspiracy and protecting the Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum were equally monumental achievements!

Su Mo's eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "What are your plans next, sir?"

Lin Moyin said coldly, "The fact that the Heavenly Mother Cult needs to use so many methods to deceive people means that their numbers are not many, definitely not more than five hundred!"

"The Dragon Gate Cave can only accommodate this many people at most!"

"As long as we block the exit of the Dragon Gate Cave, they will have nowhere to escape and will be captured in one fell swoop!"

Su Mo shook his head: "Does this mean, sir, you intend to act alone?"

Lin Moyin gave Su Mo a meaningful look: "Are you afraid I'll take all the credit for myself?"

"In officialdom, it is a major taboo to hoard one's own wealth; such a person will not go far!"

"This meritorious deed, worthy of being ennobled, naturally needs to be shared; I cannot keep it all by myself!"

"Besides, the Changping Hundred Households alone might not be able to deal with the Tianmu Cult!"

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that she was inexperienced in officialdom.

It was only then that I realized how cunning these officials were, let alone the officials in the intelligence system!

Lin Moyin frowned, then suddenly said, "You will also come with me."

"But you are not allowed to leave within ten steps of me!" Su Mo was taken aback.

Why is Lin Moyin so good to me?
But he didn't want to go!
Leave the fighting and killing to those who are capable.

Wouldn't it be better to stay in Changping County, bully the troublemakers, and flirt with the young widow?

Therefore, Su Mo quickly said, "Commander, I will not go!"

Lin Moyin was taken aback: "Why not go?"

I kindly helped him out, and this bastard doesn't even appreciate it?

Su Mo replied matter-of-factly, "Because this subordinate is afraid of death!"

"I am but a mere strongman. Even if I were to wipe out the Heavenly Mother Cult, what promotion would I possibly receive!"

"If you are promoted in the future, do not forget that I once offered advice and strategies. Would I still be afraid of not becoming a junior officer in the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Lin Moyin was so angry at Su Mo that she gritted her teeth!

That guy is a real bastard!
Forget it.

Fine, I won't go!
Do I have to beg you?
War is dangerous and perilous; no one can guarantee they won't die.

That way, I won't have to be distracted by taking care of him!
Lin Moyin glared at Su Mo and gave a heavy, cold snort: "Do as you please!"

After saying that, he got up and was about to leave!
Su Mo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "My lord, wait a moment!"

Lin Moyin turned to look at Su Mo and asked coldly, "Is there anything else?"

Su Mo quickly said, "The Heavenly Mother Cult may have powerful immortal sorcerers among them. You must be careful, sir!"

"I have heard that Magistrate Xue has invited his brother-in-law to come and oversee Changping. He will arrive soon."

"His brother-in-law is a great sorcerer at the Divine Realm."

"If possible, Your Excellency, you could have Magistrate Xue urge this man to come and assist you, ensuring that nothing goes wrong!"

The female commander's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange, and she nodded: "I understand!"

He paused, his gaze softening considerably as he looked at Su Mo: "Don't wander around these days!"

"Those followers of the Heavenly Mother may have other plans."

"You cowardly fool, watch out, your dog's life is in danger!"

After saying that, he really left.

The favorability rating above my head suddenly increased by 10%!

Su Mo...

He simply felt that his future father-in-law had taken good care of him.

I should reciprocate.

With this windfall, my father-in-law got promoted, and my own background became much stronger, didn't it?
Unexpectedly, they managed to wipe out the female centurion in one fell swoop.

Of course, Su Mo was indeed afraid that the female commander might accidentally die.

Who should I ask to do quests from now on?

Is Xue Yishu that foodie and artsy type?
Although the female commander wanted to take Su Mo with her, Su Mo really didn't want to get involved in the trouble caused by the Dragon Gate Cave.

It's a situation where the risks and rewards are completely disproportionate.

They should just take care of the East Market themselves.

Changping County, with a market of 300,000 people, is quite large.

In Su Mo's opinion, Luo Lie's annual income of a thousand taels of silver from the East Market was a complete waste of his talents; he was a good-for-nothing!
Such a large market, calculated based on a foot traffic of 100,000 people.

Each person spends ten large coins, and the daily turnover reaches as high as one million coins.

If you exchange it for silver, one thousand taels!

Not to mention the gambling dens and brothels with even higher spending power!
With a turnover of two thousand taels of silver, it's not unreasonable to take a 1% management fee, right?

Twenty taels of silver a day, that's six hundred a month!

It's ten times that of Luo Lie!
Even if he gives away 60% of the profits, he can still keep 240 taels for himself!
Chen Qian believed that Chen Bao's private salt trade could bring in a monthly income of one hundred taels.

But Su Mo had roughly calculated that 150 taels was not enough.

If we produce some refined salt on a smaller scale, we can earn more than 200 taels a month!
In just one year, he could earn five thousand taels of silver.

Isn't it better than fighting and killing?

The Imperial Guards only earn two taels of silver a month, why risk their lives!
