Chapter 109: Li Qinglu? Male or female lightning marten? Another incident of misfortune

"Please wait a moment, everyone. Our princess will be here soon." The maid led everyone to a hall, gave some instructions, and left.

"I don't know what Princess Yinchuan looks like."

"I heard she was extremely beautiful."

"These news were spread by the Xixia Royal Palace itself. It is still unknown whether they are true or false!"

"She is a princess anyway. Even if you don't look at her face, it's not a loss to marry her just based on her status!"

"Oh, so that's what you think?"

"Why, aren't you guys here? If you really want a beautiful woman, you can find one outside, right? There are all kinds of courtesans!"

"..."

As soon as the maid left, everyone started talking. Only a few people like Chen Mo, Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, Jiumozhi and others did not speak. After all, who knew if there was anyone around secretly reporting their words and actions? Perhaps the test had begun since the moment everyone stepped into the palace?
Everyone didn't have to wait too long. After about an incense stick of time, a pair of guards escorted Princess Yinchuan in from another door.

Because of the curtain, people couldn't see Princess Yinchuan's face, but her curvy figure was enough to make the wolves drool.

Chen Mo even vaguely smelled a fragrance coming from Princess Yinchuan. It was not a special poison, but just a simple floral scent. Presumably, Princess Yinchuan was just... taking a bath?
Someone who was more impatient suggested, "Your Highness, since you want to meet us, why don't you come out?"

Princess Yinchuan didn't need to speak, a maid stepped forward and said, "The princess believes that only a true prince consort is worthy of seeing her appearance, so before everyone sees the princess, please compete and choose the best one."

"After all, isn't it still a competition? I thought there would be some differences." Bao Bu Tong said carelessly.

"If he doesn't even have the strength to protect the princess, how can my princess marry him with peace of mind?" the maid explained.

"I think what the princess said is right!" Chen Mo agreed, "Since ancient times, treasures and beauties have been obtained by the capable. Naturally, a beauty like the princess can only be possessed by the strongest."

After saying that, Chen Mo seemed to have thought of something, and asked Princess Yinchuan: "Princess, I don't know if there will be any more tests later. If I can defeat everyone present, then will the tests later be unnecessary? Then the princess will... belong to me?"

Princess Yinchuan behind the curtain obviously didn't expect someone to ask this question, and she stood there in a daze for a moment.

Bao Bu Tong and other people in the underworld were cursing: "Where did this brat come from? He is young, but he is so arrogant. He is the most arrogant person I have ever seen in my life!"

"That's right, kid, who do you think you are? You keep talking about defeating us?"

"Come on, boy, let's show you how to do it. I want you to know why the flowers are so red..."

Chen Mo ignored the angry words and looked inside the curtain. After a long time, Princess Yinchuan's voice came from inside the curtain: "Yes!"

Chen Mo then turned his gaze to the crowd: "Don't you all want to fight? We can't do it in this hall, let's fight outside!"

After saying that, Chen Mo took the lead and walked outside. The rest of the people looked at each other in confusion: What's going on? This guy doesn't seem to be afraid at all. If he is not a fool, then he must be a real master. This...

The first three to follow out were Qiao Feng, Jiumozhi and Murong Fu. They were proud of their martial arts skills and did not think that they were weaker than Chen Mo, so they were not afraid. Seeing this, the others gritted their teeth and followed.

After everyone had left, a maid looked at her princess and said, "Princess, look..."

Princess Yinchuan was wearing a veil, but her delicate features could still be vaguely seen from her outline. Moreover, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, her skin was as white as cream and her figure was well-proportioned. She could truly be described as absolutely beautiful.

Princess Yinchuan said, "Get a sedan chair with curtains. I want to go out and see if he is just talking nonsense or if he really has great abilities."

When Princess Yinchuan was ready to come out, Chen Mo was just about to start the fight: "Don't waste time, all of you come together!"

Bao Bu Tong sneered, "Boy, who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to let my master take action? Let me fight you!"

After saying that, he rushed directly towards Chen Mo. Seeing that he was going to die, Chen Mo did not let him off and directly used his footwork to meet him.

Seeing the footwork that Chen Mo was performing, Princess Yinchuan asked in surprise, "Is this... Lingbo Weibu? Isn't this my grandmother's unique skill? How come this person can do it too?"

That's right, in order to hide his true identity, Chen Mo did not use [Shadow Change], but used [Light Steps] to fight the enemy.

After getting closer, Chen Mo even used two magical skills, [Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill] and [Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill]. Originally, it was not necessary to do so to deal with a Bao Bu, but Chen Mo was... cautious.

Chen Mo not only took his weapon head-on, but also slapped him away with one palm.

puff~
The battle started quickly and ended even faster. Bao Bu Tong originally wanted to scout the way for his young master, but he didn't expect that he couldn't block a single move.

Seeing him being knocked away, Murong Fu quickly jumped up to catch him. As soon as the two of them made contact, Murong Fu's expression changed: What a strong force.

Murong Fu pushed Bao Bu Tong and took several steps back, breaking several floor tiles before he stopped.

"What a strong horizontal training kung fu, what a great power!" Seeing Chen Mo withstand the sharp weapon without getting hurt at all, the people around him gasped.

They had also seen things like Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Cover, which had amazing defensive power against sword attacks from ordinary people, but they were only effective against people with low martial arts skills.

A person with great martial arts skills could break any stone with a single blow. Add to that the sharpness of the weapon, and even the iron shirt would be cut in two.

This is also one of the reasons why many people in the world don’t learn those things. First, it takes too much time and money, and second, the upper limit is too low.

But the defensive power displayed by Chen Mo shocked everyone. You know, although Bao Bu Tong is foul-mouthed, his martial arts skills are not low, otherwise Murong Fu would not have been with them all the time.

"Okay, now you are qualified for me to take action personally!" Murong Fu said as he prepared to step forward.

Chen Mo stretched out a finger and shook it, saying, "You are just a piece of trash, you are not strong enough for me to fight, all of you, come at me together!"

Murong Fu had never been looked down upon like this before in his life. Upon hearing this, his face immediately turned red: "You are looking for death!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Chen Mo and killed him: If I don’t kill you, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Okay, isn't your Murong family's unique skill Dou Zhuan Xing Yi known as giving someone back what they have done to you? Then I want to see if you can do it...

When Chen Mo dealt with Bao Bu Tong before, he actually held back. This time, Chen Mo exerted his full strength of hundreds of thousands of pounds and punched Murong Fu. The horrifying whistling sound made the onlookers' scalps numb. They didn't even dare to think about the consequences of being hit by this blow.

Murong Fu was also frightened by the power of Chen Mo's attack. He wanted to dodge, but found that Chen Mo's footwork was too advanced and it was difficult for him to dodge, so he had to choose to take it head-on.

Boom~
At the moment of fist collision, a strong gust of wind swept around, and the floor tiles under Murong Fu's feet exploded first. Then Murong Fu slid backwards for more than ten meters before stopping. His shoes were worn out and deep scratches were left on the ground.

"hu~hu~hu~"

Murong Fu looked pale, but he was not injured, which surprised Chen Mo a little:
Dou Zhuan Xing Yi really had some tricks. He actually directed some of the force I exerted back to him, weakening the power of my punch. Then he unloaded some of the force to the ground, further reducing the damage. Finally, he relied on his powerful internal force to take the attack. That was the reason why he was not injured.

However, if you want to compete with me in strength control, you probably don’t know that there is a magical skill called [Great Shift of the Universe]!
Chen Mo didn't wait for Murong Fu to recover and punched him again. This time he used the power of [Tai Chi] and [Great Shift of the Universe]. Not only did his strength reach a terrifying one million pounds, but also... it could not be easily transferred.

puff~
Murong Fu wanted to use the previous method to resolve Chen Mo's attack, but his hands were broken at the moment of the fight, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and flew out like a broken sack.

"Young Master!" Feng Bo'e hurried forward to catch Murong Fu upon seeing this, but someone was faster than him.

huh~
The person who took action was actually Jiumozhi. He thought that after all, he and Murong Bo were acquainted, and since his son was in trouble, he should help.

Another reason is that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make Murong Fu owe him a favor: since he saved my life, it’s not too much to ask you for a few martial arts skills, right?

Unfortunately, Jiumozhi underestimated the power of Chen Mo's attack. As soon as he touched Murong Fu, his expression changed, and the hand that was against Murong Fu's back actually made a slight cracking sound, because the force it was bearing was too great.

If he didn't withdraw his hand, it would probably be broken. Jiumozhi, who had not yet achieved enlightenment, was still concerned about his life and retreated immediately.

Pfft!
Feng Bo'e didn't expect that accidents would happen one after another. While feeding a precious healing medicine to Murong Fu, he questioned Jiumozhi, "Master, what do you mean?"

Jiumozhi frowned upon hearing this, and did not answer him. He just looked at Chen Mo with a serious expression: "Your Excellency is so powerful, I'm afraid you deliberately held back when you first fought with Murong Fu?"

"Do you think you are very smart? Then guess, did I hold back when I punched you just now?" Chen Mo said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Jiumozhi's face changed when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "Your horizontal training is indeed amazing, but I also have a unique skill of flame sword. As long as you can block it, I will voluntarily withdraw from this election for the Prince Consort. How about that?"

"That's a good plan. You want to provoke me with words and make me passively defend? But I won't do that. Stop talking nonsense and take your grandfather's punch!" Chen Mo is not the kind of person who believes whatever you say. He directly uses [Lingbo Weibu] to attack Jiumozhi.

Jiumozhi's face looked grim. He didn't expect Chen Mo to not play by the rules. Seeing that his attack was approaching, he could only try his best to resist.

The shadow of a long sword surrounded by flames emerged from behind Jiumozhi, and then slashed towards Chen Mo fiercely.

Wow, he is obviously not a grandmaster, but he already has some of the charm of a grandmaster.

Although this long sword is not a physical object, it is condensed by internal force and has some physical effects. When it hit Chen Mo, not only did it make a sound of metal clashing, but it also caused a rolling wave of fire. Chen Mo's clothes were about to burn. "Now it's my turn!" Chen Mo believed that although the flaming sword was powerful, it was definitely impossible to release it as frequently as a Gatling gun, so he took advantage of this gap and rushed forward and slapped it with his palm.

puff~
Suddenly, Jiumozhi followed in Murong Fu's footsteps.

Seeing that Chen Mo had defeated two masters in such a short time, everyone present was shocked.

Qiao Feng, who had been silent the whole time, now looked extremely solemn: As the saying goes, there are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you, the ancients were right!

This man defeated two people of similar strength to me with his physical strength alone. He is not a grandmaster, but better than a grandmaster. I guess I am no match for him.

Thinking of this, Qiao Feng said decisively: "I give up!"

This is Qiao Feng, he dares to act and take responsibility, he won’t pretend to be nice just to save face, he just says what he is like!
Chen Mo did not expect that the first person to admit defeat would be Qiao Feng. He originally wanted to see if Qiao Feng could really create a dragon with one palm, but it seems he has no chance this time!

Seeing Qiao Feng admit defeat, the others were afraid of Chen Mo's powerful strength, so they also admitted defeat.

"Princess, this guy is so powerful. He beat those two masters to the point where they couldn't take care of themselves in just a few moves. Others don't even dare to challenge him!" exclaimed a personal maid beside Princess Yinchuan.

"Indeed, with this level of horizontal training kung fu, I'm afraid there is no one else in the world who can match him!" Princess Yinchuan also commented. She had learned kung fu from Li Qiu Shui and her vision was not bad.

"Then Princess... isn't this your prince consort?" the maid asked in a low voice.

Princess Yinchuan's face flushed slightly under her veil, but she also knew that a promise is worth a thousand gold, so she nodded and said, "Well, since the others have already admitted defeat, then you go and announce the result. I will tell the Empress Dowager about this matter, and she will help me preside over it!"

"Yes!"

After the result was announced, everyone except Chen Mo went back. Chen Mo was led by a maid to a palace: "Her Highness the Princess wants to see you alone, so I will not go in!"

Nodding, Chen Mo entered the palace alone. The room was not luxurious, but the furnishings inside showed that it was indeed a woman's room.

"Now that you are here, please sit down!" Princess Yinchuan invited him as she spoke without a veil this time.

When Chen Mo saw the true appearance of Princess Yinchuan, his eyes lit up slightly. She was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman. That's right... As a descendant of Li Qiushui, Wang Yuyan could make countless people fall in love with her, so there was no reason why Princess Yinchuan would be worse.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be my prince consort. My name is Li Qinglu, and what's yours?" Seeing Chen Mo sit down, Princess Yinchuan continued.

"Li Qinglu? What a good name! My name is Chen Mo..."

Afterwards, the two started chatting, but it was Chen Mo who did most of the talking, because Chen Mo found that Li Qinglu seemed to be very interested in things in the outside world, so he told her a lot of his experiences.

If Li Qinglu only admired Chen Mo's strength before and thought that Chen Mo was an arrogant and reckless man, now she was really attracted by Chen Mo's all-round talent in both literature and martial arts. Basically, no matter what question was asked, Chen Mo could give an answer, and he had many unique insights that were refreshing.

"What? All those people were abducted by the Khitans?" The Western Xia Emperor said in shock.

Just now, he received a report from his subordinates that those who came to participate in the election for Princess Yinchuan's husband were abducted by the Khitans on their way back.

The subordinate nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, except for Qiao Feng who escaped because of his great martial arts skills, all the others were abducted by the Khitans."

"Was it really the Khitans who did it?" The Western Xia Emperor asked with a serious look on his face.

"It's certain. Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes. It was the Khitans who came to participate in the election for the son-in-law who did it." The subordinate nodded again.

"If this is true, then things will be troublesome. Among those people are not only our own princes and nobles, but also prominent figures from other countries. Although the ones who attacked were Khitans, we are also responsible for what happened in our territory." Thinking of this, the Xixia Emperor ordered:
"Immediately send down the order to search for those Khitan thieves with all your strength and rescue them."

The large-scale troop mobilization soon attracted the attention of some people. After some investigation, they found that something had happened to important figures from various countries. Anyone with a little common sense would know that this was a serious matter.

Inside the bedroom of the imperial concubine Li Qiushui

Li Qiushui was reporting: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Xixia has discovered the disappearance of those people. Do you think we should..."

That’s right, the real culprits who pretended to be Khitans and kidnapped others were Chen Mo and Li Qiu Shui. After learning Ah Zhu’s disguise technique, it was too easy for them to pretend to be a Khitan.

"It doesn't matter. I have already drained all the internal energy from those people and handed them over to the Jinyiwei to take them back to the Wuyu. If nothing unexpected happens, they will return to the territory of my Great Chen Dynasty today!" Chen Mo was not panicked at all.

Hearing this, Li Qiu Shui's heart sank: The incident had only happened for a few days, and those people were about to be sent out of Western Xia. The infiltration ability and efficiency of the Jinyiwei were too terrifying. I'm afraid that even if I don't do anything, Western Xia will be in his possession within two years!

This is indeed the case. After Chen Mo ascended the throne, in addition to vigorously developing commerce and the military, he has never stopped investing in the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei can be found in almost all the surrounding countries. The reason why he sent Li Qiushui and Duan Yanqing to cause trouble was just to make preparations for both situations.

"Your Majesty is a master of strategy, and I admire you!" Li Qiu Shui praised.

……

"Chen Lang, where are we going?"

On the way back to the Dachen Dynasty, Li Qinglu asked as she sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside that was rapidly receding.

Chen Mo and Li Qinglu had married a few days ago. Hearing this, he explained, "Go to the Great Chen Dynasty, and I'll take you home!"

Half a month later, looking at the palace in front of him, which was ten times more magnificent and luxurious than his own Xixia Royal Palace, Li Qinglu opened her mouth in surprise: "This... is this your home?"

"No, this is our home!" Chen Mo took off the disguise on his face and revealed his true appearance: "Let me introduce myself again, Chen Mo...Emperor of the Great Chen Dynasty!"

Li Qinglu looked at the face that was ten times more handsome than before and was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that the voice was exactly the same as before, she would have thought that her man had been replaced.

"How about it? Do you like me now or before?" Chen Mo asked as he led her into the palace.

The imperial guards along the way all knelt down respectfully and shouted "Long live the man". Looking at the high-spirited and handsome Chen Mo, Li Qinglu was actually a little dazed. After a long time, she whispered, "I like... I like you now!"

"Ha ha……"

Three months later, Chen Mo received a secret report from Li Qiu Shui: The Khitan emperor denied that he sent people to abduct those people, and said that he knew nothing about it. The Western Xia emperor and others sent people to negotiate but to no avail, and they have decided to unite and send troops to Khitan. Even if they cannot destroy him in one fell swoop, they must make him pay the price.

After reading the secret report, Chen Mo called the current general and asked, "How is the military training going?"

"Your Majesty, among our soldiers, there are currently 10 who have reached the minor success level in Iron Shirt, and who have reached the major success level. They are definitely capable of fighting!" The general knew the soldiers' situation in detail.

Yes, the iron vest, which was considered as the upper limit by those martial arts masters, was distributed by Chen Mo as a compulsory skill for the army. As long as there are enough people, even if you are a grandmaster, they will be piled up to death. What's more, the opponents of these soldiers are just ordinary people. It is enough for them to be able to conquer the battlefield.

In fact, this method of training invincible soldiers has long been known to the top leaders of various countries, but it has not been popularized. The reason is that it costs too much money. Not only does it require the assistance of medicinal materials during practice, but after achieving success in training, the appetite will increase greatly and the consumption of food will also be high. Countries cannot afford it, or they dare not engage in excessive military expansion for fear that the economy will collapse.

Another reason why it cannot be popularized is the fear that the commander of the army will rebel. If that happens, it would be like spending one's own money and shooting oneself in the foot!
Considering the wealth of the Great Chen Dynasty, Chen Mo had emptied more than half of the national treasury just to support such a large army. It is conceivable how difficult it was. If this continued for another half a year, Chen Mo estimated that the national treasury would really be unable to make ends meet.

"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!"
