"General, listen to my orders!"
"Chen is here!"
"It takes a thousand days to maintain an army and only a moment to deploy it. I order you to lead an army of 100,000 and go to the border secretly. When Xixia and other countries as well as Khitan suffer heavy losses, you will directly send troops to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Chen Mo ordered.
"I obey your command!" said the general, clasping his hands together.
After he left, Chen Mo called the commander of the Jinyiwei again: "You Jinyiwei are good at infiltration, lurking, tracking and counter-tracking. I order you to lead the Jinyiwei to assist the general. Not only to protect his safety, but also to help him cover up the army's tracks!"
"I obey your order!" The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard took the order and left.
Chen Mo was not afraid that the general would have any ulterior motives, because Chen Mo gave him double insurance with the [Confusing Mind Technique] and the [Life and Death Talisman].
But because of this, Chen Mo's mental load has reached its limit. Currently, he can only control Duan Yanqing and the general, and can no longer influence other people.

In the harem
"Sister Zhong Ling, your electric marten is so cute. Can I touch it?" Li Qinglu looked at the electric marten in Zhong Ling's arms and said with love on her face.
"Of course you can, but I have to explain to the marten first, otherwise I'm afraid it will bite you." After Zhong Ling finished speaking, she began to communicate with the marten. After a while, she patted the marten, and the marten cleverly crawled into Li Qinglu's arms.
Looking at the lightning marten rubbing against her arms, Li Qinglu blushed as if she was thinking of someone: "Sister Zhong... Sister Zhong Ling, is this... a male or female lightning marten?"
Zhong Ling was confused at first as to why she asked this, but after seeing her blushing face, she immediately realized what was going on and blushed, "Oh, sister Qinglu, why did you think of that... Lightning martens are female, female!"
Chapter 110: Blade White Phoenix Duan Zhengchun, please prove that you are not a eunuch!
Looking at Li Qinglu and Zhong Ling not far away, Ah Zhu asked, "Ah Bi, why don't you go play with them?"
That's right, Murong Fu and his group were ambushed and taken away by Chen Mo on their way back, including A-Bi.
After learning that Murong Fu had not touched A-Bi, Chen Mo was very relieved, and then took A-Bi back to the palace.
A'Bi looked conflicted when she heard that. Although she had become Chen Mo's imperial concubine, she still had some grudges in her heart. So she had been feeling depressed these days since entering the palace, and had not been able to integrate into the harem circle.
At present, she only has Sister Azhu as a friend in the harem, and Sister Azhu will be leaving the palace soon, and then she will be alone.
After looking at Li Qinglu and the others, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked over slowly and started communicating with them. From that moment on, she finally began to let go of her grudge against Chen Mo and completely accepted the fact that she was Chen Mo's woman.
Ah Zhu was relieved to see this. She was really afraid that her good sister would be ostracized because she couldn't fit in. Although the girls are all very pure and kind-hearted and have no intrigue, who can predict what will happen in the future?
Thinking of this, she quickly integrated into the situation. For a while, there was constant laughter and joy in the harem, making the entire harem seem to come alive.
Three days ago
"Why do you want to go in person?" Chen Mo asked.
"Just go out and relax!" Ah Zhu explained.
"Are you not used to staying in the harem?" Chen Mo asked again.
"No!" Ah Zhu replied.
Looking at Ah Zi beside Ah Zhu, Chen Mo understood: "With your personality, you wouldn't leave the palace for something like this. So... it's because of Ah Zi?"
This was indeed the case. Every day, A Zi watched the girls laughing and talking in the harem, and also saw Chen Mo being affectionate with them. She had long been jealous. In addition, she was active by nature, so she asked her sister to take her out of the palace to play.
Of course, nominally, she wanted to see her biological mother and father whom she had never met. Ah Zhu attached great importance to her relatives. After learning of her "ideas", she did not hesitate and went directly to Chen Mo to explain the situation.
Hearing this, Ah Zhu and Ah Zi's faces changed slightly, fearing that they would cause Chen Mo's displeasure. Fortunately, Chen Mo just looked at Ah Zi deeply and said, "Ah Zi, I agree that you can leave the palace, but if your sister is hurt in the slightest, don't blame me for holding you responsible!"
Ah Zi opened her mouth wide when she heard that, and said a little aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law...why are you only concerned about my sister's safety and not worried about me?"
"Good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years. As long as you don't commit suicide, it will be difficult for others to kill you!" Chen Mo teased.
Hearing him describe herself as a nuisance, Ah Zi curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
Soon, it was the day for Ah Zhu and Ah Zi to leave the palace. Chen Mo did not send a large army to protect them in a high-profile manner, as that would be too eye-catching.
Besides, Ah Zhu knows how to disguise herself, so as long as she is careful, this trip might be safer.
Thinking that he would not be leaving the palace during this period, he did not need to worry about the safety of the harem, so Chen Mo called Wu Xingyun and ordered: "Go and protect them in secret. You are allowed to mobilize the border troops when necessary."
Wu Xingyun took Chen Mo's token to mobilize troops and bowed, saying, "As you wish!"
As Chen Mo's skills became more profound and he demonstrated the ability of the [Shen Zhao Jing] to bring the dead back to life, the three former free and easy elders became more respectful to him. They completed all tasks with all their heart and effort, and Chen Mo was quite satisfied.
……
"Sister, is this the Dali Royal City? It looks so shabby!" Ah Zi looked at the Dali Royal City in front of her and said with some disappointment.
Ah Zhu reminded: "Ah Zi, be careful with your words. This is someone else's territory after all. We should be more restrained."
"But that's the fact. It's far worse than our Great Chen Dynasty." A Zi pouted.
"After all, our Great Chen Dynasty is a first-rate power in the world, and is about to conquer Western Xia, Tubo, and Liao. It is certainly not comparable to Dali... Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's hurry into the city!" Ah Zhu noticed that there were more and more pedestrians around, and was worried about causing trouble, so he immediately changed the subject.
half an hour later
The two came to a mansion, which was the house that Duan Zhengchun had arranged for Ah Zhu and Ruan Xingzhu to live in.
Inside, Ruan Xingzhu was staring at a pot of flowers in a daze, when she suddenly heard a voice calling from behind: "Mom!"
She looked back in surprise and found it was Ah Zhu. She was immediately delighted and said, "Ah? Ah Zhu, when did you come back? Those servants are so stupid. They didn't even come to report in advance!"
"We just came back, and I told them not to notify you!" Azhu explained.
us?
After hearing her words, Ruan Xingzhu noticed that there was someone behind her. She was dressed in purple and was extremely beautiful. Concubine Duan was a peerless beauty who did not belong to her own Ah Zhu.
What surprised her even more was that she felt a vague sense of familiarity from the purple-clothed girl. As if she had thought of something, or as if she hoped to get confirmation, she asked Ah Zhu excitedly, "Could she be..."
"Mom, you guessed right, I brought my sister A Zi back!" Seeing her excited expression, A Zhu knew that she must have guessed it.
Come to think of it, A Zi and Ruan Xingzhu are somewhat similar, so it's normal to recognize them.
"Ah...A Zi!" A Zi's body stiffened for a moment when being hugged by Ruan Xingzhu. However, the sense of blood connection made her sure that the woman in front of her was really her mother, so she slowly relaxed.
She had already known that Ruan Xingzhu had never given up looking for her, so she did not hate her for abandoning her. If she really wanted to hate someone... she thought of Duan Zhengchun!
There wasn't any big gap between them, and with Ah Zhu mediating, the three of them soon became able to talk about anything and everything, all of them talking about their experiences over the years.
Upon learning that Ah Zhu had become the imperial concubine of the Great Chen Dynasty, Ruan Xingzhu was stunned for a long time before coming to her senses. She said worriedly, "Ah Zhu, I heard that there are often intrigues in the harem, and there are many unjust, false and wrong cases. Are you okay over there?"
"My sister is doing well over there. She plays and jokes with the other concubines every day. I am almost jealous of their good relationship. There is no sign of intrigue.
Besides, if something really happened, I wouldn't be able to show up in front of you." Ah Zi explained while eating fruit.
Ah Zhu rolled her eyes at her, then turned to Ruan Xingzhu and said, "The two of us came here this time, first, to recognize you, and second, to take you back to live in the Dachen Palace."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingzhu hesitated: "I'm afraid I can't go back with you for the time being."
"Why?" Azhu asked.
"Because your father has been in trouble recently, I have to help him!" Ruan Xingzhu explained.
"No way? You've lived here for so long, and he hasn't come to see you. You still want to help such a heartless person?" A Zi already knew what Ruan Xingzhu had experienced during this period, and she was immediately indignant.
"I believe your father must have his reasons!" Ruan Xingzhu murmured.
"Azi, how can you say that about him? After all, he is your biological father!" Ruan Xingzhu frowned slightly.
"Hmph, if he wasn't my biological father, I would have killed him long ago!" This was indeed the fact. Ah Zi was not some kindhearted woman. Killing people was completely commonplace to her. If she hadn't been restrained by Ah Zhu and Chen Mo during this period, she would have gone crazy long ago.
Ah Zhu asked, "Mom, what problem did Dad encounter?"
Ah Zi looked incredulous: "Sister, you are not going to help that person too, are you?"
Ah Zhu ignored her and waited for Ruan Xingzhu's answer. Soon, Ruan Xingzhu told her what had happened.
It turned out that during this period, with the return of Duan Yanqing, some people in Dali had different ideas. Some people actually chose to support Duan Yanqing and spread the news everywhere:
"Hey, have you heard? It is said that our current Dali emperor did not gain the throne legitimately, but through rebellion!"
"No way?"
"Why not? The Crown Prince Yanqing knew about this, right? He came back and personally testified about this matter. How could this be false?"
"Besides that, there is another shocking melon..."
"What big melon?"
"Does Zhennan King Duan Zhengchun know about this? It is said that his thing has been destroyed!"
"what?"
"I also heard about this, but it's very detailed... Anyway, I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else, or we'll all be in trouble!"
"This...if this is true, then the Crown Prince Duan Yu is dead, and now the Prince of Zhennan is also...then the throne of Dali will have no successor, right?"
"Why else do you think those people would support Prince Yanqing?"
"Hi~"
After hearing what happened, Ah Zhu and Ah Zi were also dumbfounded. Ah Zhu was a little suspicious and said, "Dad... wouldn't really..."
"I don't know either!" Ruan Xingzhu shook her head, and then continued: "But what is certain is that the person who secretly spread the rumors must want to harm your father!"
"I thought it was something else, is that it? Isn't this easy to solve? As long as Duan Zhengchun stands up and takes off his pants, the truth will be revealed, right?" Ah Zi said bluntly.
"Ahem!" Ah Zhu glared at her and said, "Ah Zi, how can you talk like that? How could you let your father do such a thing in public?"
After saying this to Ah Zi, she turned to look at Ruan Xingzhu and said, "Mother, we just need to find an eunuch in the palace to check it out, and then come forward to clarify..."
Before she could finish, Ruan Xingzhu shook her head and interrupted, "First, the eunuchs obey the orders of the Emperor of Dali, and the outside world may not believe what he says; second, your father refused..."
Are you kidding? How could Duan Zhengchun not refuse? His family knew his own business. If the eunuchs found out, wouldn't it be the end? After all, there is no such thing as a strong thing that cannot be exposed. The more people know, the more dangerous it is.
"Then... what do you mean, mother?" Ah Zhu asked.
Ruan Xingzhu blushed, but still said: "Outsiders don't know the relationship between your father and I. Even if your father and his retainers know, they won't tell anyone. If I help him verify his identity and then come forward to clarify, I'm sure it will be more credible in the eyes of outsiders!"
Ah Zhu and Ah Zi both looked at her with strange expressions: Are you sure you are not greedy for her body?
But they couldn't say anything, after all, they already had that kind of relationship.
Zhennan Palace
Ping, clang, snap…
Various noises of smashing and destroying were heard, and Duan Zhengchun stopped only after everything in the house was destroyed.
Dao Baifeng's voice rang out from outside the house: "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
