Creation Color Master

The eldest prince slowly walked to where Chu Mo had stood before, his face full of curiosity about Chu Mo.

He also has various secret agents in the imperial capital, especially his brothers, who have his people lurking around them.

Judging from the message passed on, this Chu Mo is a rising star among the Shadow Twin Guards. Even Ghost and Shadow admire him highly, which makes them very curious.

When he learned that Chu Mo followed Tang Feichen to the palace, he did not dare to stay for a moment, just to pretend to meet him by chance and want to get to know him.

Who knew that a Golden Dragon Guard would suddenly appear halfway. In order not to be discovered, the eldest prince kept a distance. He only saw the two of them chatting and laughing for a while, and then the Golden Dragon Guard took out something and gave it to Chu Mo.

Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly what was given.

At the same time, when the Golden Dragon Guard appeared, Tang Chengqian knew clearly that Chu Mo had been noticed by his father.

As the eldest prince, most people in the court support him, so Tang Chengqian is naturally very confident that he can pull Chu Mo into his camp.

Tang Chengqian gave Chu Mo a subtle smile and turned away.

Chu Mo didn't know that the eldest prince would come to see him specifically. At this moment, he was heading towards Dengtian Palace under the leadership of Sun Long.

Along the way, Chu Mo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Although Sun Long seemed to be decisive in his actions, he remained silent all the way, so Chu Mo did not find a suitable opportunity to talk to him.

Soon, a vast mansion appeared before their eyes, and from afar they could see heavy troops guarding outside the mansion.

Soldiers wearing dark blue armor, holding spears and carrying longbows on their waists stood proudly, looking forward, emitting endless power.

The moment Chu Mo appeared, he clearly felt dozens of sharp eyes locking onto him.

Chu Mo believed that if the Golden Dragon Guard had not been by his side, he would have been greeted with a fierce attack.

Sun Long on the side whispered: "The Thousand Machine Guards are a team formed by the emperor to recruit talented people. Most of them are people with strange means and are extremely difficult to deal with. They are mainly responsible for patrolling various parts of the palace and guarding the safety of the palace."

Chu Mo didn't understand why Sun Long said this to him, but he still nodded politely.

The fact that the Emperor dispatched the Thousand Machine Guards to guard the imperial palace shows how much importance he attached to this Ascension Plan.

When they got close enough, a burly man stepped forward to stop Chu Mo and the others and said, "No outsiders are allowed to approach the Dengtian Mansion."

Chu Mo looked at the person who came. He had a strong aura and his exposed skin was bronze. He guessed that this person should be practicing the military's hard qigong. His body was extremely hard and strong. Even spiritual weapons would find it difficult to break through his defense when he practiced it to a high level.

Sun Long seemed to know this person and said, "Gong Jijun, we have the emperor's order. Wherever we go, it's as if I am here in person. How dare you be so presumptuous?"

Facing Sun Long's angry rebuke, Gong Jijun was not angry, but said seriously: "The emperor has ordered us to stay in Dengtian Mansion. Anyone with unknown identity can be killed on the spot. It is your outfit that saved you."

At this time, Sun Long whispered to Chu Mo: "Master Chu Mo, quickly take out the jade pendant I gave you earlier, otherwise we can't enter Dengtian Mansion today."

Chu Mo nodded, took out the jade pendant from his waist and held it in his hand.

Sun Long injected a spiritual power into the jade pendant, and a voice came out from the jade pendant held in Chu Mo's hand.

"Wherever Peiyu goes, it is as if I am there in person, and no one has the right to interfere."

The voice carried an irresistible momentum. Just by hearing the voice, Chu Mo seemed to see the majestic figure of an supreme emperor.

Gong Jijun was stunned when he heard this, then he bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Chu Mo quickly waved his hand to stop him and whispered, "General, keep your voice down. The students are still taking the exam. Don't disturb them."

Gong Jijun smiled innocently, patted his helmet embarrassedly, and said, "It's broken, I forgot to press it, please don't blame me, sir."

Chu Mo indicated that it was all right, and then confirmed: "General Gong, can I go in now?"

Gong Jijun smiled and said: "Of course."

Then he made a gesture to the back, and the hostile gaze disappeared. The many Thousand Machine Guards seemed to have turned into statues, standing still in the same place without moving.

Sun Long led Chu Mo into the gate of Dengtian Mansion, and then a man dressed as a Confucian general came up to greet them.

The man was wearing a white martial robe and had a sharp sword on his waist, and he looked even more heroic when he walked.

The martial robe is a piece of clothing specially designed for military strategists. Its function is very similar to that of armor, but it is lighter and more flexible.

The visitor had a smile on his face and introduced himself: "I am Chen Tianqi, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the jade pendant in Chu Mo's hand.

Chu Mo was stunned by Chen Tianqi's series of actions. Sun Long on the side came to the rescue and said, "Minister Chen, there is no need to be polite. Please stand up."

After hearing this, Chu Mo finally responded and said, "Greetings, Minister Chen. I apologize for disturbing you by coming here this time."

Sun Long, who was standing by, seemed to have thought of something and said, "Please tell Minister Chen to let everyone here do their job and supervise carefully to prevent favoritism and corruption. Then there is no need to ask for the emperor's grace."

Chen Tianqi also understood the pros and cons of this and knew that what Sun Long said was extremely reasonable. After all, even if they had the emperor's oral order, this was Dengtian Palace, a place for examinations for tens of thousands of students, and they could not do anything to usurp the throne.

At the same time, Chen Tianqi glanced at Chu Mo.

He came with the emperor's oral order at this time, and there might be other meanings behind it. He needed to tell his men to be careful.

Chen Tianqi was full of curiosity about this combination. One was the Golden Dragon Guard, the emperor's personal guard, and the other was holding the emperor's oral order. Moreover, they came after the exam had already begun, which made Chen Tianqi feel that it was too trifling.

You have to know that everything related to the Ascension Plan represents the royal family's attitude towards students all over the world. That's why he felt it was a bit of a joke.

If a group of Confucian diehards knew about this, they would probably use it to make a fuss about it.

Whether there is a deeper meaning or it is just too frivolous, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to be careful not to get yourself into trouble.

Rows of small houses are neatly arranged, stretching as far as the eye can see. In front of each house stands an invigilator, who can use the formation to clearly see all the actions of the students in the house to prevent cheating.

At this time, two hours had passed since the start of the assessment. Chu Mo took a walk accompanied by the two of them and came behind a wall.

There were some tables and chairs placed here. Chen Tianqi introduced them, "Please take a seat, sir. These are specially prepared for the inspection team. They are composed of hundreds of famous scholars. They not only monitor whether the students cheat, but also monitor whether the invigilators are partial to each other and commit fraud."

As he spoke, Chen Tianqi pointed to a palace next to the entrance and said, "That is where the person in charge of this Ascension Plan is located. They include the Minister of Rites, the Minister of War, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the President of the Hanlin Academy, and other important officials in the court."

"Before the results are announced, they can only stay there and are not allowed to meet anyone. The students' completed test papers will be delivered to the main hall by the invigilators in the presence of the inspection team."

Everything is done to prevent favoritism and fraud from happening.
