Chapter 28

Seeing Chen Mo's helplessly tangled face, Suo'etu smiled dryly and pointed to Prince Kang in front of him and said in a low voice:
"Prince Kang's mansion still has Gege who has not left the cabinet. Originally, I wanted to give you a red line, but I didn't expect the queen mother and the emperor to take a fancy to you. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, don't think about it so much. When the time comes, brother It’s not the same when you come out, you can spend time and drink, you don’t necessarily have to marry back home.”

"Gege from Prince Kang's family?"

Chen Mo looked at Suo'etu with a regretful face and was secretly surprised. It seems that the high-level executives used a lot of means to win each other over, but he had heard people say that Prince Kang's princesses were all very handsome in appearance, and their personalities were also quite good. They are all very gentle, compared to Jianning's crazy girl, if Chen Mo really traveled to this world and couldn't go back, if he was asked to marry a foreign woman, he would rather marry the daughter of Jieshu's family.

Arriving at Prince Kang's mansion, just sat down for a while, a guard came forward and reported:

"My lord, Wu Yingxiong, the son of Prince Pingxi, and his group of guards are here."

Chen Mo looked at Prince Kang and Suo'etu, the three of them were similar and smiled, then waited for Wu Yingxiong to arrive, but after a while a handsome man in his early twenties, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, led a group of people away When he came in, Prince Kang and Suo'etu should have seen him already, they stood up to greet him, and the man cupped his hands and said politely to them:
"Ying Xiong has met Lord Prince and Lord Suo. My father let Ying Xiong come to the capital this time. Besides meeting the Emperor, he also wanted Ying Xiong to ask the two adults for advice."

Prince Kang smiled slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite. Let me introduce you. This is the hero who rescued and beheaded the rebellious minister Obai. He is the deputy commander of the Ouchi guards and the deputy commander of the leading army battalion. Lord Chen Mo."

Following Prince Kang's introduction, Wu Yingxiong looked at Chen Mo. Chen Mo in front of him was young and handsome, with a more relaxed smile than him. He didn't do anything else, but it's rare for a general to follow Kangxi up and down every day and still hold an army in his hand.

Wu Yingxiong happily walked up to Chen Mo, clasped his fists together and said:
"I have heard rumors for a long time that there is a young hero in the palace, who turned the tide and killed the rebels when the emperor was in crisis. Today, seeing him is really extraordinary. Ying Xiong is lucky to meet Mr. Chen."

Wu Yingxiong is Wu Sangui's diplomat. Apart from his handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, his mouth is also considered rare. If Chen Mo is not an outsider who is familiar with the world, he would have been dizzy when he heard this half-truth and half-fake flattery. .

A strange smile flashed in the depths of Chen Mo's eyes, and he also clasped his fists and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty praises you. Chen Mo often hears about your Majesty's name. It's a great honor to meet you today. I don't know if your Majesty has heard some bad rumors about Lord Pingxi. I occasionally heard that King Pingxi takes a large amount of silver from the treasury every year in Yunnan. Expand the army, but still say that military and local expenditures are not enough."

Wu Yingxiong didn't know that Chen Mo would say a scary thing when he opened his mouth, taking money from the treasury, and using the excuse of insufficient local expenditure or disasters to cheat money. These are all things that Pingxi Palace often does. When Chen Mo said this, Wu Yingxiong's expression changed and he hurriedly said :
"Oh, who made this rumor, Mr. Chen, you are a popular person around the emperor, you have to help our Pingxi Palace to get rid of our grievances."

Out of the corner of Chen Mo's eyes, he glanced at Prince Kang and Suo'etu, both of them had playful smiles in their eyes. They probably thought this was Chen Mo's way of ripping off people. He laughed and said:
"Don't worry, my son, the emperor will not believe these rumors."

At this moment, the housekeeper who was in charge of arranging for the guests came to report that the banquet had been set, and Prince Kang invited everyone to go to the hall together. Wu Yingxiong was a guest from afar, and the status of the prince was placed in the first place. Prince Kang asked Chen Mo to sit at the second seat. But was shied away by Chen Mo;

He is not an ignorant person like Wei Xiaobao. Among the guests, Suo'etu is a first-class official, and there are also some powerful ministers and generals. Even though he is a famous person in Kangxi, he can't go too far and let Suo'etu sit in the second seat. , and he sits at the bottom and looks more restrained, so that others will think that he is a better person.

During the banquet, the wine cup was pushed, but Chen Mo glanced at a group of Pingxi Palace guards standing outside the door, a total of sixteen of them were warriors with strong stature and sharp eyes. Chen Mo suddenly remembered that there was no Wei Xiaobao to provoke trouble. The guards would no longer have conflicts with the warriors of Prince Kang's mansion. He secretly calculated that Prince Kang's book of 42 chapters was in a hut in the back garden, and he only needed to pick it up on time. It doesn't matter if you fight or not.

After a meal, Chen Mo was absent-minded. When everyone was full, a row of gambling tables in the hall was quickly pulled up. Chen Mo randomly found a table and sat down, took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, and started Betting, maybe he was lucky, or maybe a guard of the Pingxi Palace in the village was interested, but after a while, Chen Mo actually won tens of thousands of taels of silver;

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Mo said hello to the others and slipped out of the game, carefully avoiding the servants of Prince Kang's mansion, following the route written in the book, he came to a unique garden in a short while, where After seeing an exquisite hut, he looked around and walked in quickly.

This abode is a Buddhist hall at home. A big Buddha about ten feet tall is holding flowers and smiling. Except for an altar table, there are two futons on the ground. He took out a golden key, jumped off the altar, and quickly struck along the square bricks on the ground.

"Puff. Boom."

After a while, as the sound of his knocking changed, Chen Mo quickly pried open the floor tiles with a dagger, and a hidden iron lock compartment under the floor tiles appeared in front of his eyes. He quickly opened the iron lock with the key, and he turned sideways Use a dagger to pick up the copper ring in the hidden compartment.

"Tch." A half-foot-long iron arrow shot out from the hidden compartment. Chen Mo smiled strangely and quickly reached into the hidden compartment. He found a book of 42 chapters in a white envelope. Without hesitation, he took out the fragments of the treasure map inside. With a cold smile, he put the 42 chapters away, locked the hidden compartment and locked the iron lock, and then put the key back into the left ear of the Buddha statue. Pick up the iron arrow that fell aside and go out from the Abode.

After getting the treasure map in the 42 chapters of the sixth book, Chen Mo felt much more comfortable, but the last two books are the most difficult to get. Shunzhi needs to be cheated, and Wu Sangui's book can only be stolen, but still Well, he also knows the place where Wu Sangui hid the 42 chapters of the Sutra, as long as he has the opportunity to go to Wu Sangui's place.
