Chapter 688 The Emperor's Envoy Arrives

In the theater, in the Tingyu Pavilion, Chu Mo was no longer alone.

Seven days have passed since Shadow and Ghost came to find him. During this time, the three of them talked a lot.

Especially Shadow and Ghost, they told everything they knew, whether it was the layout in Haozhou for the past few months or some secrets about the dynasty.

When he heard that Tang Tiansheng had a premonition of his death and decided to make him the crown prince, as well as the reasons why he chose him, he recalled some past memories and felt a little moved.

Chu Mo didn't expect that he would be valued so much by Tang Tiansheng. He had already started planning when Shadow told him his true identity.

After understanding everything, Chu Mo did not become complacent, because he knew that he still had a long way to go and there was still a lot he needed to do.

Let alone the apparent obstacles of the two rebellious kings and the cheap emperor's brother who appointed governors of various states; there are external threats such as the Mongols, the ancient barbarians, and the East China Sea monsters; secretly, there is also the mysterious Divine Punishment Organization that stirs up the world...

All these will be obstacles for him to clear the world and suppress the world.

All I can say is that there is still a long way to go.

It was Shadow standing next to him who finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Your Highness, I want to know what these people under your command might believe. Are they loyal to you? Is there a mysterious force behind you supporting you?"

Hearing this, Chu Mo looked at Shadow with a serious look, and then said seriously: "I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I don't have any forces behind me, and these people are loyal to me."

"Shadow, I want you to remember that their loyalty is greater than your loyalty to the current emperor. You don't need to doubt this."

Hearing this, Shadow and Ghost knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, calm down."

Chu Mo waved his hand and said, "I'm not angry. I'm just telling you an indisputable fact. Since you are all loyal to me, I just hope that my subordinates will not be suspicious of each other. That's all."

Shadow and Ghost both lowered their heads and said in a deep voice, "We understand."

Ever since he had a group of top combat forces at his disposal, Chu Mo has been thinking about how to make full use of them.

At the same time, Chu Mo, who knows more secrets, has to redeploy future deployments, and some things will become simpler.

The first thing Chu Mo thought of was Huangzhou. After all, now that the emperor and the empress had both passed away, the luck of the Xiayang Dynasty had dissipated, and the entire dynasty had begun to see a situation where the kings were fighting for hegemony and secretly plotting to reap the rewards.

According to Shadow, Prime Minister Wei Yu is also one of the secret weapons that His Majesty has left for himself.

The prime minister was the one who sent the princes out of the imperial capital, appointed them as provincial governors, and used the name of tests to restrain the princes and reassure the officials.

Not only that, he also tried his best to promote Wei Zheng, Zhang Qing and others, just to make Chu Mo gain a firm foothold in the court.

The first winter snow of this year fell heavily, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver. Even Yong'an Town was shrouded in white.

Across the vast sky and earth, the cold wind was howling and heavy snow was falling.

There was a series of lonely footprints on the knee-deep snow, with bloodstains left on them.

Looking around, in the wilderness with no village in front and no shop behind, there was a man walking in the wind and snow, leaning on a broken wooden stick.

The man on the road had a bulge in his chest, as if something was stuffed in it.

He was wearing a light sheepskin coat, cotton boots, a bamboo hat, and a white cloth covering his mouth and nose with a layer of broken ice hanging on it. His lonely figure walked slowly and with difficulty in the snow, with a bandage on his right shoulder, from which blood was seeping.

“Swoosh—”

The man seemed to have heard something. He half-crouched in a snow hole and looked around vigilantly. When he found nothing unusual, he stood up again and hurried on his way.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—”

In the vast wilderness, several nimble figures followed the footprints along the way and quickly chased in the direction of the man.

"Liu Chongwu, you can't run away. My lord pities your loyalty and bravery. As long as you obediently hand over the treasure in your arms, my lord will grant you a high position and generous salary."

In an instant, several figures rushed out from all directions and surrounded the man named Liu Chongwu. The cold and shining sword reflected the white snow in the sky.

Seeing that Liu Chongwu was surrounded, his face was full of caution. He also pulled out a big knife from his back and put on a posture to defend against the enemy.

"Liu Chongwu, call out the baby in your arms."

At this time, the killer roared again, and the air wave blew away the snowflakes falling in the air.

While Liu Chongwu was carefully thinking about how to get out of this situation, he said coldly, "Don't even think about it. I was entrusted by the Prime Minister to give you the treasure. Unless I die, you won't be able to get it."

"Your master colluded with outsiders and attempted to seize power and usurp the throne. He is truly a sinister and cunning villain and does not deserve this treasure."

"You are a bunch of hawks and dogs who cannot distinguish right from wrong. You will not die well."

Seeing Liu Chongwu like this, the leading assassin said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, it will only cause trouble. Kill him."

As soon as these words were spoken, five killers attacked at the same time. Cold lights flashed, and knife shadows flew everywhere. Liu Chongwu was instantly enveloped by endless knife lights.

Unfortunately, after just a few moves, Liu Chongwu was stabbed several times and his body was covered in blood.

Looking at Liu Chongwu, who had been chased all the way, had not eaten or drunk for more than ten days, and had fled thousands of miles, the leading killer didn't waste any time and was about to raise his knife to kill him.

A talisman flew over from a distance, freezing the killers in place.

Then, a Taoist with an immortal look, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a Huangtian talisman staff came from the air.

Without giving the killer a look, Zhang Jue locked his gaze directly on Liu Chongwu.

"You are the person that Prime Minister Wei Yu entrusted to go to Haozhou to look for the lord."

Zhang Jue's voice was very soft, but it was unusually clear in the vast snowstorm. Liu Chongwu knew that the person coming was extraordinary, but he still remained alert and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest. May I ask who the lord you are referring to?"

Zhang Jue saw through Liu Chongwu's thoughts and chuckled, "You don't need to test me. If I wanted the imperial seal in your arms, you are no match for me and I would have killed someone to get it."

The reason why Zhang Jiao was able to arrive at the right time was because he received a letter from Wei Zheng asking him to come and support him.

However, there was a huge gap between receiving the letter and the rescue. He waited for several days before Liu Chongwu entered Dengzhou.

As for why he was able to find Liu Chongwu so accurately, it was because when the dynasty's luck was collapsing, Zhang Jue happened to get a trace of luck, which was absorbed by him.

The jade seal of Emperor Liu Chongwu also carries the luck of the dynasty. As long as he steps into Dengzhou, he can cast a spell to deduce it and follow the guidance of the luck to find this place accurately.

Seeing that Liu Chongwu was seriously injured, Zhang Jue waved his hand and cast a talisman on his body, and the wounds on his body healed quickly and formed scabs.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the person the Prime Minister mentioned."
