High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

This matter is indeed very risky for Li Mo, but it is also a tremendous opportunity.

Although Zhao Zhenyuan, as the marshal of the Great Xia, wielded considerable power, he was constantly hampered. Above him, he had to contend with a group of high-ranking government officials, and below him, he had to deal with many veteran generals in the army.

He could only rely on Li Mo, a fledgling genius, to help him out of his predicament.

With money in the army, it was no longer constrained by the government, and with power in Li Mo's name, he could ignore the criticisms and condemnations from the veteran generals.

Li Mo's rapid rise to power was due in part to his achievements, but he also had to bear the corresponding costs.

Considering that Zhao Zhenyuan's purpose was for the army and the people, Li Mo didn't care about that, but there was one thing that made him very curious.

So Li Mo asked Zhao Zhenyuan, "Commander Zhao, may I ask you a question? Why did you choose me?"

To be honest, after hearing Zhao Zhenyuan's words, Li Mo felt that his position was very important.

If he harbors any wicked intentions, such as coveting the Missi Mountain region for his own use, or if Li Mo chooses to align himself with the government, Zhao Zhenyuan's plan will not only fail completely, but he himself will likely be forcibly removed from office by the government.

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Zhenyuan's lips.

Do you want to hear the real reason?

"Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't willingly be the sucker!"

"Because of your dad!"

Zhao Zhenyuan answered solemnly, "Perhaps Li Mo doesn't have a deep impression of his biological father, but as close comrades-in-arms, Zhao Zhenyuan and Li Le absolutely trust each other."

This absolute trust was naturally inherited by Li Mo.

This reason, though seemingly absurd, is actually quite reasonable.

In fact, Zhao Zhenyuan didn't favor Li Mo that much before he knew that Li Mo was Li Le's son.

Li Mo couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "So it's because I have a good dad!"

Having said that, Li Mo fully accepted Zhao Zhenyuan's arrangement.

This wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It involved a vast area of ​​mineral resources and the status of a major general. In one night, Li Mo had gained power and money, though the risks were a bit higher.

But the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!

Moreover, Li Mo is on the side of justice.

Seeing that Li Mo had agreed, Zhao Zhenyuan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, apart from Li Mo, he could not find another person in the army who was both capable and trustworthy.

"You should rest well, because the Black Earth Tribe has already made preparations. We probably won't be able to fight them for the next few days. You should conserve your energy. It's estimated that this battle will only begin when the people from the White European Empire arrive!"

"I'll send someone over later. You can completely trust him. If there's anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask him for advice!"

Li Mo nodded slightly, but he was also quite helpless. He had been fighting every day and walking on the edge of life and death every moment. Now that he was suddenly free, he felt a little bored.

Li Mo went back to sleep until the sun was high in the sky, when suddenly a loud voice woke everyone up.

"Get up, all of you! Do you think you can be so lazy just because you're war heroes? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Pride comes before a fall'?"

"Anyone with only minor injuries, get up and continue training!"

Li Mo was very puzzled. In fact, he had ordered the entire battalion to rest, but now someone was taking advantage of his power to make his vanguard battalion start training.

Li Mo dressed and wanted to see who this shameless person was, but when he went out, he was slightly surprised.

The person who came was none other than General Mo Yi, who had saved them yesterday!

Even though Li Mo has now become a major general, he is nothing compared to General Mo Yi. So he immediately saluted and said, "General Mo Yi!"

Mo Yi walked towards Li Mo, and with a strange smile as if he had guessed Li Mo's thoughts, said, "What? You don't like me training your soldiers?"

"Let me tell you, Commander Zhao has already assigned your vanguard battalion to my army group. If you have any objections, you can raise them with Commander Zhao. I have no objections!"

Li Mo was even more puzzled. His vanguard battalion was originally directly under Zhao Zhenyuan's command. If Zhao Zhenyuan wanted to use him, then logically speaking, it would be more convenient to relay orders from a direct subordinate.

Why was his vanguard battalion reassigned to Mo Yi's army group?

But Li Mo quickly figured it out. It was common knowledge that Li Mo was Zhao Zhenyuan's confidant, especially among the older generation in the army who opposed Zhao Zhenyuan. If the vanguard battalion's direct commander was still in charge, he would definitely be targeted in every way in the future.

However, if it were assigned to Mo Yi's army group, this problem would not exist.

At least those older folks won't openly target Li Mo, after all, Mo Yi, this old man, is also an older folk.

Remembering that Zhao Zhenyuan had just said he would send someone, Li Mo immediately understood.

"General Mo, so this is what kind of person you are!"

Li Mo smiled knowingly. Mo Yi appeared to be an old-fashioned person, but in reality, he was Zhao Zhenyuan's man and a double agent.

Mo Yi gestured for silence, then followed Li Mo into the tent. Only then did Mo Yi speak: "Those old guys know your vanguard battalion belongs to my army group, and they all say I need to give you a hard time, so we have to put on a show!"

Li Mo suddenly realized what was happening and immediately roared, "Old man, don't think you're so great just because you're a general! My soldiers don't need your command!"

The vanguard soldiers outside were filled with admiration when they heard that Li Mo dared to confront the general head-on.

The highest level of deception is deceiving even your own people.

Once the brothers of the vanguard battalion spread this news, I'm afraid all the older generation in the army will think that Mo Yi and Li Mo are going to be bitter enemies.

No one knew that the two were actually very harmonious.

"Mr. Mo, please have some tea. I haven't even had a chance to thank you for saving my life! If it weren't for that kick you gave me, I would probably be in danger!" Li Mo poured Mo Yi a cup of tea and then expressed his gratitude.

Mo Yi waved his hand and said, "It was nothing! You are the real hero for making such a great contribution. I can't let the Black Earth Tribe ruin our country's promising talents like this! I just didn't expect that Commander Zhao would choose you in the end!"

Mo Yi told Li Mo that Zhao Shuai had actually considered many candidates before him, but he was not satisfied with any of them. They were either not capable enough, had poor character, or were not trustworthy.

Li Mo was the most suitable candidate, so Zhao Zhenyuan took a risk this time and directly detained the Missibi Mountain Region, handed it over to Li Mo, and promoted him to major general.

Li Mo nodded slightly. He understood that Zhao Zhenyuan was gambling on the matter; otherwise, this crime would almost be equivalent to treason.

Li Mo thought that Mo Yi would leave after the two of them performed a play, but unexpectedly Mo Yi stayed.

"Li Mo, Commander Zhao instructed me to take good care of you, and to answer all your questions! There haven't been any battles these past few days, so I'm asking you, would you like to cultivate your divine soul?"
