The Nameless of the Common Clans

There were no setbacks on the way back to Quyang. Now everyone in the Taiping Sect camp was in danger. Taking advantage of the night, Chen Mo and Yang Mao came to the city, raised the torches they had prepared in advance and shook them three times. Soon someone put down the hanging basket.

"Puff~" The moment he stepped on the city wall, Chen Mo's legs suddenly softened and he sat down on the ground.

"Are you injured?" Yang Mao hurriedly pulled Chen Mo, and the county lieutenant also came over at this time and hurriedly asked someone to call a doctor.

"Uncle Yang, I'm fine." Chen Mo shook his head blankly and wanted to get up, but the strength in his body suddenly seemed to disappear. After trying several times, he still got up with the help of Yang Mao. He didn't know what was going on with him.

"It's okay. It's a sign of exhaustion. Just rest for a while." The doctor who came hurriedly helped Chen Mo feel his pulse and smiled, "I'll prescribe some decoctions. Take it twice a day, and you'll be fine in half a month."

"Thank you, sir." Chen Mo hurriedly thanked the doctor.

"The two county magistrates are waiting for you at the government office." After the county lieutenant sent the doctor away, he nodded slightly to Chen Mo and summoned two county guards to take Chen Mo and the others to see Zang Hong and Zhang Chao.

Along the way, Chen Mo's legs regained some strength, but he felt lazy and unmotivated. According to the doctor, he had been in a tense state, and now he suddenly relaxed, a kind of psychological exhaustion.

Chen Mo seemed to understand, but now he felt that his brain was a little empty, as if he was very weak, but very full. It was really hard to describe.

All the way to the government office, Zhang Chao and Zang Hong had already received the news. Seeing Chen Mo, Zhang Chao stood up and smiled, "This time, you can break the Taiping Religion army, and you have made an indelible contribution. Have you thought about what reward you want?"

Chen Mo looked at Zhang Chao blankly. He took such a risk, of course, for a purpose, but when Zhang Chao asked at this moment, Chen Mo suddenly became blank. What should he want? To be an official? He seemed too young, and money and property were more realistic, but Chen Mo was a little unwilling. He spared no effort to help Zang Hong and Zhang Chao defeat the enemy, not for these things, but Chen Mo couldn't think of what he wanted for a while.

Yang Mao pulled Chen Mo aside, a little anxious, why did this kid get confused at the critical moment?

"I don't know..." Chen Mo looked at Zhang Chao and Zang Hong, and finally chose to tell the truth: "I want my mother to live a better life, I want to... restore the reputation of my ancestors, but..."

But I really don't know what to ask for.

Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and liked him more and more. He shook his head and said, "You don't even know what you want, but you work so hard. Do you regret it?"

"No." Chen Mo shook his head. He never regretted it: "I do more for me and for my mother to live a better life in the future. In addition..."

Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Yang Mao. He bowed to Zang Hong and Zhang Chao and said, "Uncle Yang is a martial artist and proficient in bows and arrows. Uncle Yang has made a lot of efforts for Mo to succeed this time. Can you..."

Zhang Chao smiled and nodded and said, "There is still a vacancy for the bandit Cao in Quyang County. If this warrior Yang doesn't give up, are you willing to take the position?"

Yang Mao is a tough guy, and Quyang is indeed short of people now. According to what Chen Mo said, Yang Mao is indeed meritorious. He can decide the position of the bandit Cao in a county.

"Thank you, County Magistrate!" Yang Mao was a little ashamed. He actually did nothing. The affairs of the Taiping Sect were almost all promoted by Chen Mo alone. In addition to being ashamed, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the child.

"As for you..." Zhang Chao looked at Chen Mo, turned his head and looked at Zang Hong and smiled: "What do you think, Ziyuan?"

"Very good." Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and smiled: "Chen Jialang, you are naturally intelligent and have great courage, but you grew up in the countryside and have not learned much. Would you like to study under me? After three to five years, if you have talent, I can recommend you to the court with Brother Meng Gao, as a boy, and study in the Imperial College!"

Chen Mo is only ten years old. Even if he has made meritorious contributions, it is difficult for him to enter the government. However, if he is accepted as a disciple of Zang Hong, reads for a few years, and builds up some reputation, plus his performance in the face of the Taiping Sect this time, he can be sent to Luoyang and enter the Imperial College.

As for the Chen family, Zang Hong is ready to go around. It is also a good thing for the Chen family that such a talent has emerged from the common people. At that time, if the Chen family can help, plus himself and Zhang Chao, there will be no problem with the boy.

What is a boy, Chen Mo doesn't know, but it shouldn't be too bad, right? Chen Mo now had no idea what to ask for, and these things depended on Zang Hong and Zhang Chao, so he had no choice. However, Chen Mo understood that he wanted to become a disciple, but he could not make the decision himself. He bowed and said, "I need to discuss the matter of becoming a disciple with my mother!"

"Of course." Zang Hong nodded and smiled, "Your mother and your fellow villagers have been settled in the government office. It's getting late, so go and see them quickly."

"Yes!" Chen Mo hurriedly agreed after hearing this.

Yang Mao stood there, a little at a loss. What should he do next?

"Yang Zeicao, you send Chen Mo back. Come to the government office at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow. We will make arrangements by then." Zhang Chao said with a smile.

"Yes!" Yang Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Chen Mo to go straight to the back hall under the guidance of a servant of the government office.

...

The Taiping Sect Camp.

Zhang Kai's residence.

"Has Ergou not been found yet?" Zhang Kai looked at his men with some annoyance. Chen Mo had not returned since he left, which made Zhang Kai a little unhappy, especially since he did not return until night. Zhang Kai sent people to inquire around, but there was no news.

"Leader, I just asked, someone saw Ergou before I met you today." A strong man said.

"Who?" Zhang Kai frowned, could Ergou follow someone else?

"According to his description, it seems to be Shouhouer!"

"Who is it!?" Zhang Kai stood up suddenly after hearing this, staring with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

"According to the description, he is a tall and thin man with a wretched appearance, who may be similar to Shouhouer. After seeing Ergou, he left." The strong man was frightened by Zhang Kai's appearance and took two steps back and bowed.

"Huh~" Zhang Kai sat down again and nodded, "That's right, Shouhouer has gone to Quyang City, how could he come out again? It must be someone else."

Although he said so, Zhang Kai always felt that the man might be Shouhouer. If so, did Chen Mo have contact with people in Quyang City?

This idea was quickly dispelled by Zhang Kai. A ten-year-old child, the officials in Quyang City must be crazy to let such a young child come to work? What can he do?

But thinking of what Chen Mo had planned these days, Zhang Kai felt uneasy again. He was smart, literate, steady, decisive and ruthless. Not to mention his age, he was not like a child from an ordinary family.

"Leader!" A strong man rushed in and said to Zhang Kai, "A fight has started!"

"Huh?" Zhang Kai did not react for a moment and looked at him in confusion.

"The people of the Taiping Sect and Liu Sandao's people fought. Liu Sandao was chopped, but many people of the Taiping Sect also died. Someone took the opportunity to rush into the Taiping Sect's camp and set fire. Now it's all in chaos!"

"Okay!" Zhang Kai stood up suddenly after hearing this and laughed, "Notify all the brothers, follow me!"
