Wanyan Honglie stood up and said, "Father, according to the intelligence sent by the spies, although Chen Mo's [Shenzhao Army] only has 10,000 soldiers, they are all brave and valiant, and it is suspected that each of them has practiced horizontal training external skills, and I am afraid that they may have reached the realm of being invulnerable to swords and guns.
If such an army were to charge towards Zhongdu without any regard for the consequences, our army would be unable to defeat it.
For now, if we want to defeat them, we can only rely on the power of heaven and earth."
"What is the power of heaven and earth?" the Jin emperor asked hurriedly.
"The so-called power of heaven and earth is not about wind, rain, thunder and lightning, water, fire and so on. No matter how powerful the [Shen Zhao Army] is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the power of water and fire. We can trick them into a suitable place and kill them with fire or flooding!" Wanyan Honglie explained.
"Hahaha, good, good, it turns out that you are the one who has a solution, Hong Lie!" The Jin Dynasty Emperor praised him verbally, but said in his heart: Old Six is indeed smart, but it's a pity that he is not good at that aspect, otherwise I would definitely pass this position to him, alas!
"Humph!"
Seeing Wanyan Honglie stealing the show, the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom snorted coldly and said unwillingly: "I thought it was a good idea. Doesn't it still require the use of a large army? In my opinion, it is better to send a master to assassinate Chen Mo. As long as he dies, the [Shenzhao Army] will be leaderless. Then we can directly annihilate them in one fell swoop."
The Jin emperor and Wanyan Honglie both looked at him as if he were a fool. Not to mention how you could assassinate Chen Mo in the midst of thousands of troops, Chen Mo himself also had superb martial arts. How could you assassinate him? Send a hundred thousand troops to assassinate him?
Wanyan Honglie ignored the fool and continued to suggest: "In addition to the suggestion I just made, I think we should also send someone to contact our secret agents in the Southern Song Dynasty and have them attack and obstruct Chen Mo. On the one hand, this will buy us enough time to prepare. On the other hand... Yue Fei was able to be killed by the twelve golden medals back then. Who says it won't work this time?"
"Also... we can also offer them huge benefits, use the tricks of the Jianghu people, or use poison, or something else, and we will definitely be able to cause casualties to the [Shen Zhao Army]."
After listening to his complete proposal, the Emperor of Jin could not help but applaud and said, "Okay, okay, since it was you who proposed the plan, then you will be in charge. If you need anything at that time, I will fully support you. This time, we must completely eliminate Chen Mo and the [Shen Zhao Army]!
Maybe we can take this opportunity to head south, haha..."
Seeing that they were having a great time talking but leaving him aside, the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom snorted coldly and turned away.
Wanyan Honglie had long been accustomed to it, but Emperor Jin Guang sighed: The sixth prince is smart, but unfortunately he cannot inherit the throne. The eldest prince can inherit the throne, but with his ability, I am afraid that the Jin Dynasty will be destroyed in his hands. The other princes also have their own shortcomings, alas!
……
Just after Chen Mo captured more than 20 cities in the north, the Southern Song court behind him gave him a heavy blow.
"Master Imperial Master, this is a golden order approved by His Majesty himself. His Majesty wants you to stop the advance immediately and... return to the imperial city to meet him!" The messenger's voice became lower and lower. Obviously, he also knew what it meant to ask Chen Mo to stop the advance and retreat at this time. Is the tragedy of Yue Wumu going to happen again?
This was the concern of everyone in the tent, and they also wanted to see how their great national master would respond.
"Okay, I understand. This envoy has worked hard. Someone... take this envoy down to have a good rest!" Chen Mo said in a flat tone.
Unlike what outsiders thought, that Chen Mo would be angry, on pins and needles, in a dilemma, and feel sympathetic, Chen Mo was actually very happy in his heart.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time. There had been no movement in the past two days, and he thought that the Jin Kingdom had even forgotten its usual tactics. But today he received the golden order, which was exactly what he wanted.
However, one golden order is not enough and is not worthy of one's status and position!
Half a month later, when Chen Mo conquered forty cities in the north, his front was finally filled with golden orders, a total of thirty-six.
Thirty-six golden orders are coming to demand your life, even Yue Wumu didn’t get this treatment!
Chen Mo called his trusted subordinates and asked, "What is the attitude of the outside world towards the Jin Ling incident now?"
The subordinate did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "Now the people of the whole world, whether in the north or the south, are in an uproar. The people all think that Your Majesty is incompetent and has done such a cruel thing to harm loyal people.
Many people complained for you, and some even wrote a letter to the people and submitted it to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty burned it without thinking, which caused public outrage.
Now many people hope that you, Mr. Imperial Master, will ignore His Majesty and continue to take back the north.
Even worse…even worse, some people say that you should be the emperor, then the world would have been stable long ago!"
Chen Mo nodded, then waved his hand to let his men retreat.
In fact, the reason why the news spread so quickly was that Chen Mo was secretly fanning the flames in order to help him build a reputation for changing the dynasty: Everyone has seen it, it’s not me who wants to usurp the throne, it’s His Majesty who insisted on killing me, I was just forced to fight back!
Chen Mo was confident that he could defeat the Jin Dynasty directly, but he chose not to do so. He wanted to do it after changing the dynasty, so that his prestige would definitely be raised to a higher level.
Moreover, swallowing up forty cities in a short period of time is already the limit of the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, no one expected that Chen Mo would fight so quickly, resulting in a serious shortage of grassroots officials. They can only recruit while fighting. Many of them are inexperienced and will handle affairs much slower.
Now, it is time to return to Lin'an, but this time we will not ride on the Divine Condor, but return in a carriage with great fanfare.
The news that Chen Mo responded to the Thirty-six Golden Orders and began to return to Lin'an began to spread throughout the world.
Peach Blossom Island
"This shouldn't be possible. Chen Mo is such a smart man, it's impossible that he doesn't see that this is a trap. But why did he still fall into it?" Huang Yaoshi muttered with a frown.
Feng Heng, who was standing by, looked worried: "What if he is such a loyal person? What should we do? We can't let him get into trouble, right? We have to find a way to save him!"
"Well... well, no matter whether he is really loyal or has other plans, let's go to Lin'an to meet him first!" Finally, Huang Yaoshi made the decision.
Then, the two of them packed up some gifts and hurried out.

"Sister, don't worry. Brother Chen is so powerful, and we have the Divine Eagle to take him away at any time. He will be fine!" Looking at Li Mochou who looked worried, Xiaolongnu spoke to comfort her.
As the saying goes, worry leads to confusion. Li Mochou is concerned about Chen Mo. Even with Xiaolongnu's persuasion, she still wants to go and see Chen Mo in person, otherwise she will feel uneasy.
Then, regardless of Xiaolongnu's obstruction, he slipped away when his master wasn't paying attention.
Xiaolongnu looked at her departing back, dazed!
"This is what they call those who are involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly. You can see clearly, but she can't!"
At some point, their master appeared behind Xiaolongnu, and it was she who spoke just now. In fact, she noticed it from the beginning, but she knew it was useless to stop him, so she pretended not to know.
"What will happen to Senior Sister?" asked Xiao Longnu.
"That could be the abyss, or it could be... happiness? Who knows!" After saying this, her master turned around and went back to the ancient tomb. After a long time, a faint sigh was heard.
In a certain city, an old beggar had just taken a few bites of roast chicken when he heard people talking about Chen Mo. He scratched his head:
"No way, this is not his style. He is always ruthless. This will definitely blow up. However...his recovery of the great territory this time is also a great contribution to the world. I can't just ignore it. Let's go and take a look!"
After saying this, his figure disappeared quickly without alarming anyone else. It was obvious that he was a man of great martial arts skills.
In the Quanzhen Sect, everyone was also discussing that if Chen Mo was here, he would definitely be shocked, because Yang Kang was not dead, but appeared here.
When Yang Kang learned that Chen Mo was recalled by the thirty-six golden orders, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face: If that guy hadn't reminded the eldest prince, how could I have ended up in this situation?
It is said that he was having Ouyang Feng carried back to Zhongdu, but was caught up by the eldest prince and his entourage. Ouyang Feng was seriously injured, and the remaining people were no match for the eldest prince and his entourage, and were killed on the spot.
At the critical moment, Ouyang Feng, who was still seriously injured, suddenly jumped up, held the enemy, and slapped Yang Kang casually.
"You have been hit by my poison palm. If you don't want to die, go find my nephew. He is the only one who has the antidote for this poison!"
Yang Kang didn't expect that Ouyang Feng was still thinking about plotting against him at this time, but the place where he was slapped did feel very uncomfortable, and he knew that the other party was probably not lying.
So he gritted his teeth and fled towards Mount Zhongnan, because he remembered that Ouyang Ke had been sent to deal with the Quanzhen Sect.
So, he had to hurry to Quanzhen Sect. After finally arriving at the Quanzhen Sect, he asked around but there was no news of Ouyang Ke. It could be said that God was merciful to him as he met Qiu Chuji when the poison was taking effect.
Although Qiu Chuji hated him for turning his back on him and also hated his father Wanyan Honglie for trying to kill him, he still had a master-disciple relationship with him, so Qiu Chuji finally took him back to Quanzhen Sect for treatment.
Even though the combined strength of the Seven Quanzhen disciples could not completely eliminate the poison for him, they did suppress the toxicity to a very low level.
As soon as Yang Kang left the Quanzhen Sect, he was hunted down by the eldest prince's men. He had no choice but to hide in the Quanzhen Sect again. With the protection of the Quanzhen Sect, the killers were indeed afraid to use their weapons, so Yang Kang fortunately stayed here.
"The [Shenzhao Army] is really powerful. They are unstoppable wherever they go. No city along the way can stop them. I originally thought that they would soon reach our Zhongnan Mountain area, but His Majesty issued thirty-six golden orders to recall them. This is really..."
Hao Datong, who had witnessed the power of the [Shen Zhao Army] from afar, had no doubt that with the strength of the [Shen Zhao Army], they would definitely be able to conquer the entire north. Upon hearing the news that Chen Mo was recalled, he could not help but sigh.
"Alas! This situation is so similar to what happened to Yue Fei back then. I didn't expect that the current emperor would repeat the same mistake. Why can't he learn from the lesson?" Ma Yu also sighed.
"In my opinion, there must be a treacherous person who has bewitched the emperor. The most likely person is Jia Sidao. If something really happens to the Imperial Master, Jia Sidao will definitely be the culprit!" Qiu Chuji said angrily.
Yang Kang curled his lips. What's the point of talking here? Chen Mo is dead this time. I just didn't expect that he would be so stupid. He would go back just because I told him to. This is the kind of person that is meant by blind loyalty, right?
It took Chen Mo more than half a month to finally reach Lin'an City by carriage.
Along the way, many people heard the news and came to stop him, advising him not to follow the example of Yue Wumu. Chen Mo said righteously: "I am loyal to my king and I will be loyal to him!"
Many gangsters and even green forest bandits came to dissuade him, but they were all dismissed by Chen Mo with similar excuses.
Of course, it’s not that no one wants to harm Chen Mo. He once encountered a group of killers disguised as ordinary people. One second they were advising him not to learn from Yue Wumu, and the next second they took out a dagger and stabbed him. Unfortunately, how could they know how powerful Chen Mo was? Before they could get close, they were blocked by Chen Mo’s three-foot air wall.
Now that they have accumulated six hundred years of skills, ordinary people cannot easily break through the three-foot air wall even if they are holding a magical weapon like the Sword of the Heavenly Sword, let alone these killers, who were killed on the spot by the recoil of the [Nine Yang Divine Art]!
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Lin'an City, Chen Mo saw several familiar figures waiting there. They were Huang Rong, Mu Nianci, and... Li Mochou?
How did these three women get together? Are they going to cause a scene of Shura for me?
Fortunately, what Chen Mo was worried about did not happen. For some reason, the three women got along very well with each other. The first thing they did when they saw Chen Mo was not to question him, but to show concern.
Seeing that there were so many people here, Chen Mo didn't say much. When he returned to his National Master's Mansion, he found that many old friends had gathered here as well. First there was Huang Yaoshi and his wife, then there was Hong Qigong. As for Yang Tiexin, he had always lived here, so there was no need to say much.
Chen Mo laughed and said, "Haha, I didn't expect everyone to care about me so much. I'm really flattered!"
"You can still laugh? I don't know what you were thinking. I told you to come back, and you really came back. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will send an army to encircle and suppress you?" Feng Heng couldn't help but scold him when she saw that he still looked fine.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll be fine. I'm not the kind of person who would seek death!" Chen Mo comforted.
"Madam, I told you he wasn't that stupid, but you still worried about him!" Huang Yaoshi seemed to have expected this.
Seeing that Chen Mo did not seem to be lying, everyone felt relieved. However, they were also very curious about how Chen Mo would handle his relationship with the emperor.
You know, in ancient times, many famous ministers and generals died because of their great achievements that frightened their ruler. Now Chen Mo is obviously a little too successful that frightened his ruler.
Unfortunately, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Chen Mo did not tell them his plan.
As expected, not long after Chen Mo returned, many soldiers and officers surrounded the Imperial Master's Mansion, and a eunuch came to announce the decree, saying that Chen Mo was to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
Chen Mo comforted everyone, then followed the eunuch to the palace and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where he found that all the civil and military officials had already gathered.
Seeing Chen Mo appear, the faces of all the civil and military officials in the court were somewhat complicated. The Southern Song Emperor at the top even shouted: "Chen Mo, do you admit your guilt?"
"What crime have I committed?" Chen Mo asked.
"A month ago, I sent people to call you back, but you refused again and again. It was not until I issued thirty-six golden orders that you came back. Isn't this a crime of disobeying an imperial order?" asked the Emperor of Southern Song.
"The war in the north is going very well right now. I just want to consolidate our results. I have no other intentions!" Chen Mo explained.
"Humph, I think you are arrogant because of your favor and you are arrogant because of your army!
Did you know that a month ago, the Jin Kingdom sent us a surrender letter? As long as you lead your troops to withdraw, they are willing to pay tribute to us every year.
This opportunity to conquer them without fighting was almost ruined by you, and you still say this is not a serious crime?" The Southern Song Emperor said angrily.
"They are just talking and haven't offered any substantial benefits, but they want us to return the city we just recovered. This is obviously trying to get something for nothing. How can we believe it?" Chen Mo asked back.
"How dare you contradict me?" The Emperor of Southern Song glared at you.
Chen Mo thought to himself: Is this bastard addicted to acting?
"Come here, arrest this rebellious criminal, cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and lock him up in the Tianlao Prison to be executed tomorrow!" ordered the Emperor of Southern Song.
The guards outside the palace looked hesitant, not knowing for a moment whether they should follow the order.
"What? Are my words no longer useful?" the Southern Song Emperor said angrily.
