Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

The Fish Scale Guards on the ship also spotted the black spot flying from the horizon. They could vaguely see that the black spot looked like a person. Although they were shocked, they were well-trained and even without their superiors' orders, they picked up their compound bows and became alert tacitly and skillfully.

When the black spot grew larger and the person's face could be clearly seen, Nangong Xian exclaimed in surprise, "It's Your Majesty."

"Come down quickly and put down your bows."

"."

"His Majesty?"

The soldiers were all very depressed. When will His Majesty fly?

They didn't see Chen Mo fly away last night.

Soon, Chen Mo flew above them, and they discovered that Chen Mo was holding a person in one hand.

Nangong Xian's expression changed slightly. He knew both of these people. They were Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng.

Your Majesty is Your Majesty, he is truly mighty, he single-handedly captured the two people from the Kingdom of Boliu.

Before landing on the deck, Chen Mo threw Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng down, making two dull noises, and also awakened the two people who had been knocked unconscious, making them gasp for air.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Yue Ruyan jumped down from the second-floor deck, her steps were light, and she came in front of Chen Mo, speaking words of concern.

Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

At this time, Nangong Jin, who had just woken up, had started talking to Nangong Xian.

"Brother Xian, save me." Nangong Jin began to try to establish a relationship with his family. He found that he was no longer in Boliu, and everyone around him was Chen Mo's people. It was conceivable that his life and death was in the hands of others.

On the contrary, Zhang Feng looked ferocious and vicious after waking up, glaring at everyone who looked at him with bulging eyes.

But people who are familiar with Zhang Feng know that he is actually a weak person.

Nangong Xian and Nangong Jin are not very close, they just have the same grandfather, but Nangong Jin's father is a legitimate son, while Nangong Xian's father is a illegitimate son.

In addition, the relationship between Nangong Xian and Nangong Jin is not very good.

The decision to marry Nangong Ru to Chen Mo was made by Nangong Jin alone, and Nangong Xian, the biological father, had no say.

It’s just that Nangong Jin is the head of the Nangong family and is stronger than him, so Nangong Xian has to listen to him.

Of course, it’s not that I hate her.

After all, it was Nangong Jin who brought the Nangong family to the top, and Nangong Xiandi became a member of the Nangong family and benefited a lot.

If the incident with the Wei fleet had not happened, Nangong Xian would probably still call him "brother" and plead for him, but now, Nangong Xian was really afraid of being implicated.

As for what Nangong Jin said, he pretended not to hear it and turned his head away.

When Nangong Jin saw Nangong Xian’s reaction, his heart sank.

But he still had hope at this time. He looked at Chen Mo and said, "Your Majesty, I know that hiding weapons is a crime, but my Nangong family has made indelible contributions to the Wei Dynasty, especially the Wei navy. Moreover, I have not done anything that would harm the interests of the Wei Dynasty. I am willing to donate all my property, retire, and hope that Your Majesty will spare my life."

Nangong Jin hoped that Chen Mo didn't know about the Wei fleet yet, and came here simply because he had secretly hidden weapons and fled overseas.

"Go down."

The topic was a bit sensitive, so Nangong Xian ordered his soldiers to go back first.

"promise."

After all the fish-scale guards entered the ship, Chen Mo said in a cold voice: "You haven't done anything that would harm the interests of the Great Wei? Does Marquis Chaoping really think that I don't know that the Nangong family has been involved in smuggling many times?"

Nangong Jin's heart sank and his face turned pale.

"Originally, I was going to let you off the hook and not pursue the smuggling case. I even told General Nangong Xian that as long as you mend your ways and turn over a new leaf, I'll spare your life." At this point, Chen Mo's voice completely turned cold, and he said, "But you should never, ever retaliate against my Wei fleet. There are more than 2,000 lives. If I spare you, how can I explain to them and to the world!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura like a mountain pressed down on Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng, making them lie prone on the ground, unable to even lift a finger.

Nangong Xian was watching from the side, and he would definitely not ask you at an inappropriate time when you said that.

Nangong Jin's face turned completely pale. The pressure made it hard for him to breathe. The penetrating wound on his calf made him frown in pain. He lost his usual demeanor and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life. It was not me who attacked the fleet. It was Zhang Feng who acted on his own initiative. I was not aware of it."

He did not argue and said that this matter had nothing to do with their Nangong family.

Since he said so, he must have mastered something. It would be better to just sell the seal directly.

"Hmph." Chen Mo snorted coldly, and the pressure increased again. Zhang Feng was even pressed to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood. Without a trace of tough and ferocious expression on his face, he begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was also unaware of it. It was all my subordinates who acted on their own. By the time I knew about it, it was too late."

Zhang Feng quickly passed the blame on to others.

"Okay, okay, you're still stubborn even when you're about to die. You deserve to die."

In order to let Zhang Feng know clearly why he died, Chen Mo directly asked Nangong Xian to bring the witness Xue Gu up.

Zhang Feng certainly would not recognize Xue Gu. Not only Xue Gu, but Zhang Feng had no impression of anyone in the fleet at that time. He was just killing people out of revenge. He used to lead the navy of the Tianshi Army and killed many people.

To him, human lives that have nothing to do with him are no different from ants.

But Xue Gu recognized Zhang Feng at first sight.

"It's him, it's him. I saw him kill Lord Zhongli with my own eyes that day." Xue Gu stared at Zhang Feng with hatred, wishing he could drink his blood.

"Slander, Your Majesty, he is slandering." Zhang Feng was still stubborn.

"Hmph, even if he is slandering me, can what I heard be false? You said it yourself, you filthy bastard, you deserve to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura was imposed on his body. Zhang Feng let out a light "uh" sound, and all his upper-grade cultivation disappeared like air at this moment. Not only that, his breathing also became much weaker.

"You and me." At this time, Zhang Feng found that he was having difficulty breathing and only had half a breath left.

It turned out that Chen Mo destroyed his cultivation and broke his heart meridians, but did not kill him completely. Instead, he was left with a breath of life.

Chen Mo said: "Next, I will let you taste the roar of the more than 2,000 Wei soldiers' wronged souls."

As he said that, Chen Mo turned around and said to Nangong Xian: "Break his hands and feet, tie him up with chains, and throw him into the sea to feed the fish."

With the current seal, even if Chen Mo didn't do this, he would be angry in half an hour at most, after all, his heart meridians were broken.

Chen Mo's behavior was obviously to let him experience the pain of drowning and being unable to save himself before he died, and could only watch himself die little by little.

According to Xue Gu, many soldiers were beaten and killed by Zhang Feng and his men that day. Some of them did not die immediately after falling into the water, and some of them were still breathing. However, in the end, due to their injuries, they, who were good at swimming, drowned or froze to death in the sea.

Chen Mo must let Zhang Feng experience that kind of despair.

"promise."

Soon, Nangong Xian called two fish-scale guards, broke Zhang Feng's hands and feet, tied him up with iron chains weighing dozens of kilograms, then carried Zhang Feng up, and threw him off the boat while he begged for mercy.

In the blink of an eye, there was a "splash" sound of someone falling into the water. The splash was very small and the person sank quickly after falling into the water. In a few blinks of an eye, the figure disappeared from view.

"Good." Xue Gu clapped his hands and cheered. Nangong Jin witnessed the whole process of Zhang Feng's heart meridian being broken, his limbs being broken, being tied up, and being thrown off the boat.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his whole body trembling, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. This is really none of my business. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."

Unfortunately, he was suppressed and couldn't even kowtow, and he didn't dare to call himself a "minister" anymore.

"Brother Xian, please beg His Majesty, we are relatives and brothers, and it was I who arranged Ruer's marriage."

Seeing that Chen Mo was unmoved, Nangong Jin could only turn his attention to Nangong Xian.

Nangong Xian pretended not to see it.

Nangong Jin's heart was completely chilled, so he had to settle for the next best thing and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a quick death. If possible, please spare the lives of my wife and children. They really didn't know anything."

He couldn't see Chen Mo's expression because he couldn't raise his head. He didn't know whether Chen Mo would have mercy on him, and he felt fear in his heart.

But at this moment, the pressure on him dissipated and he felt relaxed instantly.

Just when he thought Chen Mo would let him go.

Chen Mo said, "I can give you a quick death, and even let you leave a bloodline. But what can you give me?"

Hearing this, Nangong Jin was startled.

What can you give him?
This is all I have now, why do I want this?
Obviously not, people can get it themselves.

He was a smart man and quickly understood the key point. He said, "Your Majesty, I know there is a fairy island overseas."

Chen Mo pretended not to know: "Oh?"

……

Chaoping County.

It was midsummer, and Wu Mi and other concubines all hid in their houses.

Of course, being afraid of the sun is one thing.

More importantly, they have been here long enough and no longer feel the novelty and pleasure they had when they first went to the beach.

Another aspect is that Chen Mo was not there to accompany him.

Women dress up to please themselves, but another aspect of women dressing up to please themselves is to attract men.

Otherwise, sometimes they don’t want to dress up because putting on makeup is so troublesome.

They are just a group of women playing at the beach, wearing such cool clothes, who are they showing off to?
They also couldn't do anything like hooking up with other men behind Chen Mo's back.

In the room where Wu Mi lived, several square tables were arranged in three rows, covered with soft carpets and placed with 136 small white jade cards. This was the mahjong that Chen Mo had ordered craftsmen to make before he left. Chen Mo also taught Wu Mi and the others how to play.

There are many square tables and several sets of mahjong, but they are never full. Some people cannot learn it or need to take care of their children, while others simply don't like it.

For example, Zhao Yuxu, Nalan Yiren, and Wanyan Ya.

But even though I don’t like it, I still can’t hit it.

But they all like to watch it, it's more interesting than fighting.

There were only four tables actually played.

Sixteen charming women sat around the table, each with a different expression.

There are also some rules for how they sit.

For example, the table of Wu Mi, Yi Shiyan, Xia Zhiqing, and Xia Zhining.

Liang Xue, Ning Wan, Nangong Ru, and Chu Juan were at the same table.

Xiao Yunxi, Xiao Ya, Chu Ran, and Liang Ji were at another table.

Well, Han Anniang is taking care of the child.

Xiao Yunxi was wearing a thin purple gauze skirt. Her breasts were already among the top three among all the girls, and they were naturally full of juice and loved to sweat. The sun in Chuanhai was so strong that she couldn't help but unbutton the two buttons on her collar to cool down.

But just after I finished solving the problem, someone said, "The children are here too. It would be bad if they saw it."

Xiao Yunxi glanced at Xiaolu's child Chen Nianmo, Chu Ran's child Chen Le'an, and Yue Ruyan's child Chen Xi, who were being taken care of by Han Anniang, and said casually, "They are all children, what are you afraid of?"

Having said that, she still buttoned up her shirt.

Of course, she just saw that Chen Nianmo, Chen Le'an, and Chen Xi were still young.

If Chen Nuo, Chen Jia, and Chen Zhong were there, Xiao Yunxi would not be like this.

Since they were talking about children, Xiao Yunxi casually asked Wu Mi, "Empress, how old is the Crown Prince?"

"Almost seven years old." Wu Mi said with a smile.

"Ah, Sister Mi, the prince is almost seven years old." Xiaolu was shocked. She didn't even remember this. It only took a short time and the prince had grown up to this age.

"Xiaolu, you are such a useless concubine. You have forgotten how old the prince is." Han Anniang said with a smile, "You can't have even forgotten Nian Mo."

"How can this be possible?" Xiaolu said, pushing out a card: "Two of a kind."

"bump."

Wu Mi was wearing a bright yellow palace dress, looking neat and tidy. Her many years of "life" as a queen had also given her a hint of phoenix-like aura, making her look graceful and dignified.

"Jiaer is grown up now, and it is indeed not convenient for her to hang out with us. I am thinking whether we should wait for His Majesty to come back and discuss letting Jiaer leave the palace and set up her own household." Wu Mi swept the small white jade cards back and forth, then picked up a four-cake and played it out.

Liang Ji at the next table took over the conversation and said, "The prince is only seven years old. It's too early for him to leave the palace and start his own residence. Normally, people leave the palace and start their own residence at the age of sixteen. If you feel it's inconvenient to live together, you can live separately. If you live together in the palace, it will be convenient to see each other when you miss each other. If you leave the palace, it will be more troublesome."

After all, Liang Ji had been a queen and a queen mother, so she gave her own advice at this time.

"Well, there are many vacant palaces in the palace anyway, and we can allocate one to Jiaer." Wu Mi said after thinking for a while.

The women had no objection.

At this moment, Xiao Yunxi interrupted and said, "It's a bit early to leave the palace and start a residence, but you can find a beautiful princess consort for the prince."

The crown prince is the heir to the throne of a country. In previous dynasties, the search for a crown prince would begin as soon as he turned one year old. However, at that time, there was chaos among the countries, and the heir had to be trained from a young age.

As soon as these words were spoken, the women's minds immediately became active.

Xiao Yunxi said, "I have a niece who is about the same age as the Crown Prince. She is very well behaved and can be a good match."

"Empress, I have a niece, she is thirteen years old, gentle and beautiful, she is a little old, but as the saying goes, older girls are more caring, she can be the prince's concubine, and she can enter the palace to serve him now." Madam Gan also had an idea. (End of this chapter)
