Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Lin Mo smiled and said:

"Your Majesty flatters me."

The Empress waved her hand, suddenly stood up, walked to the window, turned her back to Lin Mo, and gazed at the azure ocean outside:

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days..."

The Great Xia is now in dire straits. The northern border has been lost, the capital has been lost, and the Tartars could march south at any moment.

I have a court full of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of troops around me, but to be honest, I don't trust many people, and even fewer who are truly capable.

She turned around, looked at Lin Mo, and her tone suddenly became serious.

"Lin Mo, I won't put on airs like an emperor with you today."

I compare myself to Liu Bei and you to Zhuge Liang.

I invite you to go to Jiangnan, join the cabinet, and become my right-hand man.

You can still govern Lianhai County, but your office will be moved to the Imperial Palace in Jiangnan. I'll give you…

"I can give you everything you want."

Upon hearing everything, Lin Mo couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the Empress in surprise.

He really wanted to ask, "If I want your body, and I want your empire, will you give it to me too?"

But he still held back:

"Your Majesty's kindness is too great for me to accept."

I cannot leave Lianhai...

There are unfinished tasks for me here.

But I assure Your Majesty that as long as the people of Jiangnan and Daxia are treated well under Your Majesty's rule, Lianhai County will always be Your Majesty's ally and supporter.

Steel, cement, glass, and medicines produced in Lianhai can be given priority supply to the imperial court.

The Empress remained silent for a long time.

A sea breeze swept past the window, making the glass curtain wall creak slightly.

She didn't say anything more in the end, but simply stood up:

"I'm departing tomorrow morning. Think it over some more. Alright, you may leave now!"

With that, she waved to send Lin Mo away.

The next morning, after Lin Mo declined the Empress's offer, he sent her a whole cartload of gifts.

It contains not only soap and glass products from Lianhai County.

There were also gifts Lin Mo specially bought for her in the main world: some underwear, office lady uniforms, and stockings.

The Empress's imperial carriage slowly drove away from Lianhai County through the thin mist.

Lin Mo stood at the city gate, watching the caravan gradually disappear into the distance until the last rider vanished on the horizon.

"They just left like that? That shouldn't be happening!"

Standing beside him, Long Qingxue looked on incredulously.

Lin Mo also frowned, his eyes full of doubt.

I feel like this whole thing is a bit unreal.

Several days later, the Empress's convoy left Hezhou, joined the main force, regrouped, and set off in a grand procession towards Jiangnan.

Inside the imperial carriage, the Empress leaned against the cushions, lifted the curtain to glance at the receding mountains of Hezhou behind her, and spoke softly to Chi Linglong beside her:

"Linglong, go to Lianhai and bring Lin Mo back to me."

Chi Linglong was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her usual cold demeanor, only slightly curving her lips as she asked:

"Is Your Majesty sure you want to tie him up?"

The Empress leaned back on the cushions, tapping her fingers lightly on her knees, her tone resolute:

"I've figured it out; he's a hidden dragon."

If left unchecked, the world will eventually belong to him!

But it would be such a waste to kill him now!

Those schools, factories, ships, and physics knowledge are all things I urgently need.

These are the things that have enabled Lianhai County to win battle after battle!

"Why don't you kidnap him first? I'll try to win him over. Once we have this information, it won't be too late to get rid of him!"

She gazed out the window at the receding mountains of Hezhou, as if explaining to Chi Linglong, or perhaps talking to herself.

"Such a prodigy is a once-in-ten-thousand-year phenomenon."

I actually ran into it...

Was I lucky or unlucky?

After receiving the order, Chi Linglong did not delay at all.

That night, he changed into a black outfit and used his lightness skill to speed towards Lianhai County.

The speed at which a master of innate strength travels is terrifying; a journey of hundreds of miles is but a single night for her.

When she arrived at the outskirts of Lianhai County, it was still dark. She hid in the mountains outside the city and waited quietly for nightfall to observe the patrol routes and changing of the guard on the city wall.

Lianhai County was indeed heavily guarded. Armed Flying Tigers patrolled back and forth on the city walls, and long-range firearms she couldn't name were mounted on several high points. Searchlight beams swept across the open space at the foot of the city walls every few breaths.

But in her eyes, these were just fences that were a little too dense.

No matter how tightly the fence is built, it can't keep the swallows out.

That night, taking advantage of the intervals between the searchlights, she transformed into a blur that almost blended into the darkness, silently scaling the city wall.

On the top floor of the Lianhai County Comprehensive Building, Lin Mo, having recharged all day, got up, stretched, and planned to rest for a while to clear his head.

During this period, he had spent a lot of time training with Long Qingxue, and their strength had reached a bottleneck.

He had collected most of the ingredients for the Great Rejuvenation Pill in the entire southeast and refined them all into Great Rejuvenation Pills, while his cultivation level was only at the mid-to-late stage of a first-class master.

At this rate, even if all the medicinal herbs in the country were gathered together, we would probably only be able to barely reach the threshold of the Innate Realm.

To advance further, one can only rely on absorbing the corpses of martial artists and the reserves of various sects.

He walked to the window and looked down at the brightly lit street below. He comforted himself for a moment and was about to draw the curtains to continue his cultivation when the alarm in the room suddenly went off.

Cameras were installed in every corner of the entire complex, connected to an automatic recognition program brought from the main world.

The system will immediately trigger an alarm if any unauthorized personnel enter the building.

Lin Mo strode to the computer. On the screen, in the surveillance footage from the rooftop, a black figure stood on the parapet. Her black outfit accentuated her slender and graceful figure. The night wind blew her clothes and long hair, revealing a cold and beautiful face.

Chi Linglong.

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

The Empress couldn't persuade him openly, but secretly sent a master of innate cultivation to settle scores afterward.

However, Chi Linglong was clearly unaware of the existence of such a camera. She was still standing on the parapet wall, scrutinizing the stairwell in front of her with a cold and confident gaze.

Completely unaware that they had been clearly captured by the rooftop surveillance camera.

Lin Mo stared at the cold, beautiful face on the screen, tapping his fingers rapidly on the table as he quickly calculated in his mind.

Even if he took out all the Barrett rifles and machine guns from his spatial storage, his chances of winning against a master of innate talent would not exceed 10%.

We can't fight head-on; we have to outsmart them.

He immediately went downstairs to the research room on the thirteenth floor.

The research lab is extremely well-sealed and was originally used for chemical experiments. The ventilation ducts can be remotely controlled, and the doors and windows are sealed with rubber strips, making it ideal for releasing biological and chemical weapons.

He quickly evacuated all the staff on the floor, explaining to the public that it was just a temporary fire drill.

Then he summoned Zhou Ping and asked him to quietly spread a message inside the building.

Lin Mo is researching a "celestial pill" on the thirteenth floor that can dramatically increase one's cultivation level. Once refined, it will allow one to step into the peak of the Innate Realm. However, the process of refining this celestial pill is extremely dangerous, and no one is allowed to approach the thirteenth floor.
