The corners of Queen Changsun's mouth twitched, and then she nodded to Chu Mo and said, "Mr. Hope is a man of his word."

"I wonder how soon sir, this batch of food and supplies can be ready?"

Chu Mo glanced at Li Ke.

Li Ke understood immediately and replied directly: "As long as the empress prepares the money, our supplies are ready and we can trade with you at any time."

"In that case, I will go back and prepare the money. Please sir, please prepare the items as soon as possible."

After saying that, he saluted Chu Mo and walked out without even looking at Li Ke.

When Li Ke saw Empress Changsun leaving alone, he was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at her back with a sneer on his face.

Chu Mo glanced at Li Ke, sighed secretly, and then stood up and said: "Now the matter has basically been resolved. When this transaction is over, you can go to Lingnan with me."

Li Ke bowed respectfully to Chu Mo and said:

"Thank you, uncle, for taking care of me. This great kindness will be deeply felt by Ke'er for the rest of his life."

Chu Mo waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. What's more, I promised your mother that I would take care of your two brothers."

"If you weren't capable, I wouldn't take you with me. The most I would do is protect you from having to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Although Chu Mo said that he took good care of himself for the sake of his mother, Li Ke knew in his heart that if the other party didn't want to cultivate him, no matter how outstanding his ability was, it would be in vain.

At this time, Changsun Wuji, who was downstairs, saw Queen Changsun coming downstairs, with obvious displeasure on her face and blood stains on the corners of her mouth. He thought that the matter was not settled, so he immediately went up to greet her and said:

"Mother, are Chu Mo and the others bullying people too much? Do you want me to let the imperial guards outside raze everything here now?"

Queen Changsun glanced at Changsun Wuji, shook her head and said:

"Chu Mo and I have already settled the matter. Before the food is handed over, I don't want any accidents to happen. Do you understand? As for the guards outside, just let them stay here temporarily to protect Mr. Chu."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

This is to let the forbidden troops outside temporarily stay here to monitor Shiweitian, and then kill and silence them after the deal is completed.

He immediately nodded to express his understanding, then strode out, greeted a guard, and said a few words to him.

After hearing this, the guards immediately ran towards the guards hiding in the dark.

Not long after, the Imperial Guards who had been hiding in the dark quickly turned from darkness to light, ran out from the ambush point, and then surrounded the entire Shiweitian.

When Yang Paifeng saw the movement outside, he immediately informed Chu Mo of the matter.

Chu Mo just nodded, indicating that he understood, and then went back to the backyard to bask in the sun.

In the evening, Queen Changsun led a group of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and transported a large amount of gold and silver to Shiweitian.

Seeing that the other party was so anxious, Chu Mo didn't delay and asked Li Ke to take the silver car to find Li Zhenying.

He asked Queen Changsun and the others to wait patiently.

Half an hour later, a blue flare suddenly appeared in the sky.

When Chu Mo saw this, he stood up, took out a signal bomb from his arms, and then fired it.

Then, he told Queen Changsun and his party: "The convoy transporting food and supplies has set off and will arrive in front of Mingde Gate in half an hour. You should go over now and prepare to receive it."

After saying that, he made a move to chase people away.

Upon seeing this, a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue wanted to step forward to ask, but were stopped by Queen Changsun.

"I believe in Mr. Chu's character. I think Mr. Chu's reputation will not deceive me for a few items."

After saying that, he led a group of officials and walked out.

At this time, the guards who had been guarding the door for most of the day saw the queen and her entourage coming out again. When they were about to step forward to ask, they were stopped by a guard:

"Your Majesty, everyone is on standby."

Upon hearing this, they were still on standby, and the guards suddenly wailed in their hearts.

However, this is an order given by the Queen herself. No matter how much I have any objections, I cannot disobey the Queen's will.

But what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as Queen Changsun and the others left, Li Chengqian, who had been waiting for news, heard that the Imperial Guards had not taken action yet, so he rushed over.

Both sides missed perfectly.

As soon as Li Chengqian came to the gate of Shiweitian, he saw that the imperial guards he had originally sent to arrest Chu Mo had now become the guards guarding Shiweitian. He was so angry that he jumped off his horse and became furious. He ran up to his personal guard and slapped him in the face.

"You bitch, I asked you to trouble Chu Mo, but you are here to guard the door for him. Do you think this prince is easy to deceive, or do you think I don't dare to kill anyone?"

After saying that, he kicked the guard several times.

The guard was beaten inexplicably, and he himself felt aggrieved.

Originally, he had brought so many people here, and he could have razed this place to the ground casually.

Never would I have thought that the original order I received was to teach the other party a lesson, but later it turned directly into protecting the other party. How could I reason with him?

Although he was severely beaten by Li Chengqian, the guard did not dare to tell the truth. He could only say: The Queen asked us not to touch the people inside for the time being. If we want to do anything, we must wait for her notification.

Li Chengqian was originally very unhappy, but when he heard that there was an order from his mother, he immediately became energetic.

If he was still worried about Chu Mo's identity before, he just wanted to teach him a lesson.

Now that he knew that his mother was also going to take action against Chu Mo, he was naturally extremely courageous.

So, without any hesitation, he said directly to the guard:

"No need to wait. Now, just follow me in. I will break Chu Mo's legs today."

After saying that, he ignored the guards' obstruction and walked directly towards Shiweitian.

When the guards outside saw this, they were all stunned, not even Jin, not even just looking at it.

Finally, the guard who led the team before said:

"His Royal Highness has gone in. If we don't go in, we will definitely have no good fruits to eat in the future."

"Besides, according to the Queen's wishes, she will definitely take action against Chu Mo after getting the food."

"We just didn't stop His Highness the Crown Prince and took action in advance. I believe that even if the empress knows about it then, she won't blame her."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately agreed with the guard's words.

So, a group of people immediately followed Li Chengqian and went straight into Shiweitian.
