Creation Color Master

In spring, the sun shines brightly, dispelling the cold of winter and making people feel warm when it shines on their bodies.

In front of the Shen Mansion, Chu Mo walked towards the gate slowly.

Suddenly, the Jingyu Guards guarding the door responded quickly, and the other three drew their bows and arrows, directly locking onto Chu Mo and the others.

Chu Mo had no doubt that once there was any unusual movement on his side, they would attack without hesitation.

The leader stood up straight and said in a cold voice: "This is General Jingyu's private territory. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. I warn you all to leave quickly, otherwise we will launch an attack."

Chu Mo directly showed the tokens. Under the sunlight, the two dark tokens reflected the sunlight, appearing even deeper.

"The Emperor has granted the Dark Guard Commander and Shadow Guard Supervisor Chu Mo a visit. Go and report immediately."

Jingyu Guard is a secret army cultivated by Shen Moqian. They are brave in combat and extremely good at shooting. As a team leader, he has some vision.

Besides, the Commander of the Secret Guards and the Inspector of the Shadow Guards, both of them are important officials, with status equivalent to that of a provincial governor. This person has such status at a young age, and he is not someone a small person like him can offend.

Moreover, he was good at observing people's words and expressions, and vaguely sensed that the person was up to no good.

So he said respectfully: "Greetings, sirs. Please wait for a moment while I report to our general."

After saying this, he hurriedly ran towards the mansion.

At this time, Shen Moqian was wearing dark purple clothes, sitting in the main hall drinking tea. Originally, he particularly liked drinking when he was in the imperial guards, but now that he became a prefect, he was even more inclined to love tea.

"Report--"

The team leader at the door quickly rushed into the room, half-knelt on the ground and said, "General, there are several people outside. The young man in the lead revealed his identity as the commander of the dark guards and the inspector of the shadow guards. He said he came to visit the general. Do you want to see him or not?"

"bass--"

Upon hearing this, Shen Moqian suddenly sat up from his chair, and was so shocked that he accidentally knocked over the tea on the table. After a long pause, he said, "What did you say? Such a high-ranking figure is rarely seen in the imperial capital, let alone the small Jingyu City. Why would he come to me, a small governor, now?"

The team leader continued, "General, should we meet or not? I think those people outside are here with bad intentions. Why don't we just dismiss them by saying that you are not here to serve the people?"

"No, no, no, this kind of person is not so easy to fool."

"You just said that the leader was a young man. Is that true or false?"

The team leader said seriously: "General, it is true. From what I have seen, he is only about fifteen years old."

"what?"

Shen Moqian was shocked, but people of this status would not joke easily. The other party dared to reveal his identity openly, which probably meant that there was no problem with his identity. Besides, no one else would dare to impersonate the secret guards and shadow guards.

This made Shen Moqian a little dumbfounded.

He walked back and forth anxiously, thinking about countermeasures, but he didn't know what to do.

"General, should we meet or not? If we delay too long, it will be a lack of hospitality."

Shen Moqian looked at the team leader and said, "Send someone to sneak out from the back door immediately and call the secret guards Xu Wenjie and Li Mingxuan. Tell them to come quickly. Go quickly."

The team leader responded quickly and ran out.

Shen Moqian turned around and took off his outer gorgeous clothes, revealing the shirt underneath. He dipped his lips in the tea on the table, wiped it on his hair and face, took down the precious bow hanging on the wall, and ran out in a hurry.

At this time, Chu Mo and Yao Guangxiao, who were outside the door, looked at each other with deep meaning.

"Da-da-da-da-"

When Chu Mo heard the sound coming from the mansion, he thought to himself, "Here it comes."

An old man in untidy clothes, holding a precious bow in his hand and walking like a dragon and a tiger walked out of the mansion, and ran towards Chu Mo with a smile on his face.

"Ah, I am sorry to have kept you waiting. When I was called, I was practicing archery in the backyard. I am late, please forgive me."

Chu Mo took a meaningful look at his clean lining and wet hair, and smiled softly, "No, no, I came here today and heard about the general's deeds of shooting a tiger, so I came to visit him."

Shen Moqian waved his hands and said, "That's all from the past, it's not worth mentioning. I'm over 60 now, and I'm no longer as brave as I was back then."

"My lord, you are so young and yet you hold a high position, and you are highly appreciated by the emperor. I really envy you."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "No, no, the general's life is still comfortable. As a governor of a region, a high-ranking official, he is a powerful figure in the territory."

Upon hearing this, Shen Moqian's face froze and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Mo glanced at Shen Moqian with a half-smile and said, "Haha, I was just joking. With our Shadow Guards monitoring you, how could the general possibly be able to cover up everything?"

Shen Moqian nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Yes, yes, sir, you are really a joker. I have been working diligently and conscientiously all these years."

Chu Mo smiled secretly in his heart. After all, he was a military general. Although he had become a civil official, he did not have the cunning thoughts of the civil officials.

Without continuing the topic, Chu Mo said directly: "I think the general's treasured bow is quite good, it should be an earthly evil magic treasure. Since the general is so interested, can you let us see it for ourselves?"

Hearing this, Shen Moqian hurriedly said, "It is I who neglected it. Sir, please, there is a special place for practicing archery in the backyard, let's go there."

At the same time, he waved to the Jingyu Guard beside him, called him to his side and said: "Go and inform my wife quickly, and ask her to take out the Tianxiangyu Qingcha that I have treasured, to entertain you."

After receiving the order, Jingyu Wei left quickly, as if he had not seen Chu Mo and others from beginning to end.

Yang Jiye looked at the departing Jingyu Guards meaningfully. As a general, he naturally knew what they represented. From some subtle details, he could tell that these Jingyu Guards were die-hard fans of Shen Moqian.

Chu Mo naturally noticed it, so he said as he walked: "The soldiers under the general really follow orders. They are elite soldiers and good generals. It's a pity for the general to be a mere governor."

Hearing this, Shen Moqian could only turn around and smile apologetically: "My Lord, you are joking. I am already very old and no longer have the passion of today. But if the Emperor thinks highly of me, I will put on my armor and fight in the battlefield."

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that, and said, "Haha, I was just saying that. General, don't be nervous. There are many good generals in my Xiayang court now, like Generals Zhang Qing and Hua Rong, who have won many battles. We are not at the point where we have no generals left to use."

Seeing Chu Mo humiliating him in this way, he felt furious as he realized that the words praising him before were just to humiliate him.

But reason still made him suppress his anger. Taking a deep breath, Shen Moqian smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. How can I compare with Generals Tianying and Tianjie? They are both young talents and may be granted titles in the future."

The group had been walking for a while, passing through many pavilions and corridors, but there was no backyard yet, which showed how big the Shen Mansion was. Chu Mo estimated that it was even bigger than the mansion the emperor rewarded him with in the imperial capital.
