I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 12: The Queen’s hush money?

Chen Mansion.

In the bedroom, Chen Mo stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself.

Her face is as white as porcelain, as beautiful as jade, and her brows are full of nobility.

He was wearing a suit as black as ink, embroidered with dark scale-like patterns, and had a three-foot-long sword slung over his waist. He looked heroic and looked like a truly extraordinary man.

"It's OK, similar to my previous life."

Chen Mo pinched his chin and nodded secretly.

Although Chen Zhuo had him under house arrest for a month, it was impossible for him to really stay in the mansion for that long.

Now that his injuries have fully healed and he has broken through to the sixth level, even if there are still remnants of the Yuehuang Sect in the city, they may not be his match!

"As a warrior, you should be brave and diligent. If you are timid, you will not achieve great things!"

"work!"

As soon as I walked out of the gate of Chen Mansion, I ran into a figure in white.

It was the female official who welcomed him into the palace yesterday.

"Master Chen..."

"You got the wrong person."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Chen Mo braked suddenly, turned around and walked into the mansion.

He died before leaving the army...

"..."

The female official raised her hand and waved.

A huge suction force surged, and Chen Mo felt the surrounding scene rapidly retreating, and his body uncontrollably came in front of the female official.

"Why is Master Chen hiding from me?"

The female official frowned and asked in confusion.

"It's not that I'm hiding from you, but..."

Chen Mo hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty wants to recruit me into the palace again?"

Thinking of what happened yesterday, he felt uneasy. Could it be that the queen wanted to kill him to silence him?

"That's not it."

"Mr. Chen didn't get his reward yesterday, so Her Majesty specially asked me to deliver it to you."

The female official took out a jade box.

"Reward?"

Chen Mo was stunned.

He reached out to take it, opened the box, and saw a jade slip and a token inside.

The moment my fingers touched the jade slip, a message flashed before my eyes:

[Obtained the Heavenly Grade Top Grade Martial Skill: Azure Dragon in the Sleeve. ]

【Do you want to learn now? 】

"Heavenly rank, upper grade?!"

Chen Mo almost bit his tongue.

You know, Earth-level martial arts are already top-notch in the mortal world. If they were to flow into the martial arts world, they would be enough to cause scramble among all major forces.

Only a behemoth like the Three Saints Sect could possibly master the heavenly secret techniques!

And Concubine Yu actually gave away such a treasure so easily...

It seems that the thigh I am hugging is quite thick and a bit scary!

Considering that the female official was still beside him, Chen Mo did not choose to learn immediately, but instead looked at the token.

It feels cold to the touch, and is neither gold nor stone. It should be made of some special material. It has an image of a soaring phoenix printed on it, and every detail is clear, as if it were a living thing.

"This is……"

"This is the Purple Luan Token. Seeing this token is like seeing the Imperial Concubine in person!"

The female official was brief and to the point.

Chen Mo was shocked when he heard this!
He naturally knew the weight of the four words "the imperial concubine is here in person"!
Compared to the heavenly-level martial arts, perhaps the Purple Luan Order is the greatest reward!

"My contribution is so insignificant that I don't deserve such a huge reward. So this is... hush money?"

"Yes, the queen must be reminding me not to let the secret out."

Chen Mo pondered secretly.

At this time, the female official reminded: "The Purple Luan Order represents the majesty of the queen. It should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."

Chen Mo bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice. What's your name, young lady?"

The female official put her hands behind her back and said calmly, "Xu Qingyi, the palace chief judge."

"It turned out to be Xu Sizheng."

Chen Mo straightened his back, raised the token, and said loudly: "Xu Sizheng, listen to my orders."

Female officer: “…”

The corners of her eyes twitched wildly, her fists clenched tightly, and she looked at the purple token, but finally lowered her head. "I want you to help me find someone..."

……

"Xu Sizheng, please walk slowly~"

Watching the figure that left as quickly as if the distance had shrunk into an inch, the smile on Chen Mo's face gradually faded.

"The protagonist's sacrifice to the heavens is a necessary step for every villain."

"According to the date, he should be arriving in Tiandu City soon, right?"

……

In the north of the city, there is Huaizhenfang.

A building covering a vast area is located in the middle of it, with brackets and flying eaves, standing tall.

Black bricks and tiles, high walls and deep courtyards. From a distance, it looks as if there is a ferocious beast lurking here, giving a very oppressive feeling.

This is the headquarters of Tianlinwei.

As a special agency independent of the Three Departments and Six Ministries, the Tianlin Guard has a wide range of responsibilities, including but not limited to: intelligence gathering, non-torture, official investigation, open execution and assassination...

Sometimes the Tianlin Guards would cooperate in cases that the government office could not handle.

Simply put, you have to do all the dirty and tiring work.

Originally, the Tianlin Guard obeyed the emperor directly, but now that Emperor Wu Lie is nearing the end of his life and the power in his hands is divided, the Tianlin Guard has been infiltrated by the Palace Party and the Imperial Concubine Party, and has become one of the battlefields in the struggle between the two parties.

The Tianlin Guard is divided into five offices and ten departments, each of which has a staff of 1,000 households.

The ten divisions are named after the Heavenly Stems:

Jia wood, Yi wood, Bing fire, Ding fire, Wu earth, Ji earth, Geng metal, Xin metal, Ren water, Gui water.

Among them, the four departments of Wu Earth, Ji Earth, Ren Water and Gui Water are controlled by the Imperial Concubine, and the remaining six departments are in the hands of the Queen's party.

Chen Mo's position is a general flag under Guishui Division.

There are five small flags under his command, with a total of fifty people.

Considering his age, he has reached this position, which is already an extraordinary promotion.

There's nothing we can do, because we have someone above us.

Walking into the gate of Tianlinwei, the huge training ground was already crowded.

And the moment Chen Mo walked in, the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

All eyes were on him.

Recently, the name "Chen Mo" has been widely discussed in Tiandu City.

Whether it was the broken engagement or the disappearance of the oiran, they were all closely related to him.

Coupled with the fact that he has not appeared in public for several days, it is inevitable that people will imagine a lot.

"Chen Tou'er."

"Boss, you're here."

Two men, one fat and one thin, greeted Chen Mo.

The fat one is called Qin Shou and the thin one is called Liu Mang. They are two small flag officers under Chen Mo and are the ones who are closest to him on weekdays.

Chen Mo nodded slightly and was about to speak when suddenly a teasing voice sounded:

"Hey, isn't this General Chen?"

"I thought you were going to quit your job."

"You tore up the marriage certificate for a courtesan, but ended up with nothing. You lost both your wife and your army. Have you been hiding in your bed crying these days?"

The person who spoke was a short man.

He has thick eyebrows, a bulbous nose, and a face full of pits and pits, like a strawberry with the seeds removed.

Dinghuo is in charge of the small flag, Yan Xun.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, his eyes swept around, taking note of all the smiling faces.

"Fuck you!"

"Yan Xun, are you looking for death?"

Qin Shou pointed at Yan Xun's nose and cursed.

Liu Mang had a blank expression on his face, with one hand already on the hilt of the knife.

"It's just a joke, Mr. Chen won't take it personally, right?"

Yan Xun shrugged and said with a smile.

"of course not."

Chen Mo said calmly.

Yan Xun looked even more smug, thinking that he had given in.

"Because you don't deserve it."

Before he finished speaking, sword energy erupted!
The person that Chen Mo slashed with this sword was not Yan Xun, but the white-faced man who was watching the show silently with a teasing look in his eyes.

The general flag of Dinghuo Division, Yan Xun’s elder brother and immediate superior, Yan Liang!
