Considering Mo Mo's speed just now, it means that if Mo Mo wanted to attack the Emperor, there was no way these guards could stop him.
In an instant, all the guards' hearts almost stopped beating, and their faces turned deathly pale.
If the emperor were assassinated while they were protecting him... then there would undoubtedly be only one outcome awaiting them.
Now, they were actually grateful to Zhao Hao. Although Zhao Hao was not a martial artist, his reaction speed was not slow at all. Thanks to him, they had not made a big mistake.
At this moment, Momo spoke.
"How is it, Your Majesty? Are you satisfied with my strength?"
"You know I'm only testing you now?"
"It wasn't purely a test. If I didn't have that skill, I'd probably be dead by now."
The emperor squinted at Mo Mo, waited a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed.
"Haha, what a fine Qilin. I don't know where you come from, and I don't care. Anyway, you've done all this for the sake of China, and you're asking me for a future, right?"
"Okay, I acknowledge your abilities. You are a talented person, someone who deserves to be given important responsibilities."
Hearing this, everyone understood and breathed a sigh of relief. Since Mo Mo had no intention of killing, and the Emperor did not intend to blame him, everyone was safe from now on.
However, the emperor's next words stunned everyone.
A glimmer of red light appeared in the Emperor's eyes.
"Unfortunately, someone as talented as you has too much ambition; you're definitely here to seize my empire!"
054 We have to make this a big news story.
The old emperor's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears, even surprising Mo Mo.
They were talking so well just now, it was clearly a scene of a wise ruler and capable minister admiring each other, testing each other, and then the two sides made good friends and talked late into the night by candlelight. How did the style of the scene suddenly change?
According to the usual pattern, shouldn't the next step be to consider rewarding Mo Mo, then give Mo Mo a high-ranking official position, or even marry off their daughter to Mo Mo because they like him, so that Mo Mo can win the heart of a beauty and reach the pinnacle of life?
This isn't right, why are they going to kill me?
Zhao Hao looked completely bewildered. Odysseus's relaxed expression vanished again, replaced by a blank look. The guards behind Mo Mo also looked bewildered; if they weren't well-trained, they might have dropped their swords.
Moreover, even if we were to kill him, we should at least appease Mo Mo first. Your Majesty, that traitorous official is closer to you than he is to us. If he really takes action, we can't save you!
However, the seemingly wise and powerful old emperor suddenly went mad, pointing at Mo Mo and saying, "Guards, kill him immediately! He dares to face me with a sword; this is treason!"
"What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
Others may not know the reason, but Mo Mo seems to know it, and he knows the reason for the rapid decline of the Chinese Federation in recent decades.
A red glow shone in the emperor's eyes.
This is a symbol of Geass light, a phenomenon that only occurs when someone is under the influence of Geass and Geass is activated.
The Emperor... has actually been hit by Geass!
And judging from the looks of it, it seems that quite some time has passed. Based on the emperor's behavior just now, it seems that as soon as the emperor encounters a talented person, the Geass will activate, making him believe that the person he meets has ulterior motives and aims to harm him and seize his throne.
Regardless of who planted this Geass in the Emperor's mind, or what its specific effects are, if the Emperor reacts this way to every talented individual, it's not hard to understand why the imperial power of the Chinese Federation has weakened rapidly in recent decades.
It turns out that the old prince himself was not a useless person, but rather that he had killed all the talented people around him. Those who were not talented or of no benefit to him or the Chinese Federation, such as these powerful eunuchs, would not trigger Geass and were able to remain in high positions safely.
I have to say... this Geass is truly wicked.
It was applied to the old emperor. As long as the old emperor is alive, he will tirelessly work to kill all the talented people around him who he approves of. In this way, it would be strange if the Chinese Federation didn't collapse.
"What are you all standing there for? Aren't you going to listen to me anymore?!"
Seeing no one react, the red light in the old emperor's eyes intensified, and his reaction became increasingly irritable. However, Zhao Hao and the guards were all pale and sweating profusely, yet they dared not make any rash moves.
"Tsk tsk, this is so troublesome."
Mo Mo understood everything, tapped his forehead, and pondered what to do.
Clearly, this Geass wasn't specifically targeting Mo Mo; it's just that Mo Mo was so outstanding that the Emperor was overjoyed, which tragically triggered the Geass.
Now that Geass has been triggered, Mo Mo must make a decision, otherwise he will truly become a traitor hated by everyone in the entire Chinese Federation.
Momo came to the Chinese Federation to make a big splash, not to be a prisoner.
Momo shoulders a significant mission entrusted to him by the world's consciousness: to transform the world's technology tree, to reshape the world's production structure, and to liberate the world's consciousness itself from the Sakura Stone Hell, lest humanity bring about its own destruction.
Momo originally intended to start all of this from the Chinese Federation.
Mo Mo originally thought he could sit down and have a proper talk with the old emperor of the Chinese Federation, so that they could discuss things together. In any case, Mo Mo wasn't interested in political power, nor did he have any designs on the Chinese Federation. On the contrary, he intended to revitalize the Chinese Federation in this world.
But now, it seems everything has gone astray.
What should I do?
At the same time, Momo didn't want to use his trading powers against the old emperor, especially since this old emperor seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve even without Geass. Knowing about trading powers would only bring him unnecessary trouble.
It's one thing for Gao Hai to find out, since he's already offended Mo Mo, and Mo Mo has already set the course for Gao Hai's life, while Gao Hai remains completely unaware. And the current emperor, if he knew about the power of transactions, would also begin to be wary of Mo Mo…
Tsk tsk.
Mo Mo thought about it and finally made a decision: he'd better make a big splash; after all, this kind of thing...
Mo Mo is good at it!
"Artoria, Yuuki."
Momo activated quantum communication and immediately contacted Artoria and Yuki, asking, "Is Jiang Lihua still with you?"
"Yes, my lord, Jiang Lihua and Karen are playing together. Is there anything we can do for them?"
“That’s right. Next, make sure Jiang Lihua is with you. You might encounter combat. If anyone questions you…”
Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Just say that the Grand Eunuch is plotting a rebellion and has already kidnapped His Majesty the Emperor. You did this to protect Jiang Lihua. If that still doesn't work, then we'll have to take action."
"Big brother, do you need our help? You're all alone!"
"It's okay, just wait for me, I'll meet up with you. Oh, and wake CC up, we'll need her help later."
After giving the order in an instant with his mind, Mo Mo raised his head slightly. Alright, it's time to start making news.
"Since you refuse to do it, then I will do it myself..."
The red light in the old emperor's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his body trembled. He began to grope around the headboard and pulled out a short sword.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't..."
Zhao Hao shouted anxiously, not because he was really worried about the emperor's life or death, but because he was there and if he saw the emperor die and was powerless to do anything about it, it would become the biggest handle for the other eunuchs to attack him!
Unfortunately, the Emperor is destined not to listen to Zhao Hao. Controlled by Geass, he probably won't listen to anyone until he kills Mo Mo.
“Your Majesty, although the eunuchs are not good people, I think you should still listen to what he just said.”
Mo Mo echoed Zhao Hao's words, but the old emperor stubbornly drew his short sword.
Zhao Hao cried out in alarm, knowing there was no time to lose. He shouted, "Kill him! If we can't kill him, we'll all die together!"
The guards were also red-eyed. They knew it was impossible, but they had to do it anyway. They had to use all their strength to stop Mo Mo, otherwise if anything happened to the emperor, they would all be doomed.
As for Odysseus on the other side, he had already retreated little by little until he finally leaned against the wall, completely dumbfounded.
His intelligence was not enough for him to handle this situation.
"Those who don't heed Mo Mo's advice will suffer the consequences!"
Mo Mo no longer hesitated. He moved again, appearing to others as if he had teleported to the old emperor's side. He tapped the hilt of his sword, knocking the short sword out of the old emperor's hand.
Although the old emperor wanted to kill Mo Mo, he was now truly terminally ill. After Mo Mo knocked his sword away, he seemed to have used up all his strength, covered in sweat and panting heavily, which made Mo Mo feel sorry for him.
Although the red light in his eyes was still flashing, the old emperor's physical strength and willpower had reached their limit. Under this double pressure, he suddenly fainted.
"Tsk tsk, it would be so much better if the old man just had a good sleep, why resort to knives and guns?"
Even though the old emperor had fainted, Mo Mo still pressed the sword tip down and placed it on the old emperor's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, everyone, it's time to go."
The guard, who had just charged forward a few steps and was ready to fight Mo Mo to the death with bloodshot eyes, could only swallow back the anger that was about to burst out. The old emperor was now under Mo Mo's sword. In his current physical condition, the old emperor could not withstand any sword wound, let alone the fact that Mo Mo's sword was aimed at the old emperor's neck.
"...You...you...what are you trying to do...this is...the crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan!"
Zhao Hao, standing to the side, kept jumping up and down, so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly. How was he going to handle this situation?
Damn it, why is it his turn to be on duty today? Why is he leading Mo Mo, this jinx, to see the Emperor?
It's over. After today's commotion, the Emperor is most likely dead, and the entire Chinese Federation... is probably doomed as well.
No... I can't just die like this. I have to think of something. What other options are there now...?
Zhao Hao looked around blankly, then suddenly his eyes lit up. He immediately started running, but after a few steps he tripped and fell face-first into the mud. In his haste, Zhao Hao didn't even have time to get up, and scrambled to his savior, Odysseus.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this is all part of Britannia's plan! Your Highness, please, stop! Everyone will die! Why are you doing this?!"
"With the emperor dead, no matter who takes power, none of us in this room will survive. Stop, Your Highness!"
Zhao Hao is now convinced that this is all a conspiracy by Britannia, and that Britannia is going to take action against the Chinese Federation.
However, upon hearing Zhao Hao's words, Odysseus was so frightened that he almost kicked Zhao Hao away.
A Britannian conspiracy?
Yarn!
Why didn't he know about this conspiracy?
Could it be that the Emperor or someone deliberately framed him with Mo Mo?
Odysseus's body trembled, but in his panic, his intelligence kicked in, and he remembered that he had made a deal with Momo!
The authority of the transaction was still in his mind, and he naturally knew that Momo would never involve Britannia in the matter.
Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his back, and said, "Mr. Qilin, what are you doing! And Lord Zhao, this is absolutely not a conspiracy by us Britannia. I am on your side!"
Zhao Hao was stunned. He looked at Odysseus, then at Mo Mo. Could it really be Mo Mo who did this?
However, Mo Mo smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need to think about it. How could I possibly have done such a big news story by myself?"
