Afterwards, the Demon Lord asked Chu Mo for a list of the top-level primordial medicines needed to refine the antidote.
"Master... can you find these medicinal materials?"
"It's fine if you don't know, I know, I can't let you look for it alone. In the process of hunting the primordial beast, if I see it, I will dig it back."
The demon king left Chu Mo with ten buckets of primordial beast blood, enough for Chu Mo to use for three months, and then drifted away.
Chu Mo packed the blood of these primordial beasts into Yu's space, and then began to prepare some matters for the New Year's dinner. Chu Mo needs to do things by himself, including the clothes worn at the dinner party.
No way, in the entire Fan Mansion, except for a few wives of veterans who help in the kitchen and clean up, there is not a single maid!
This can be regarded as a very strange thing in the noble families of the whole Great Xia.
The entire General's Mansion can be called the master, except for the old man, who is Chu Mo. The old man is not at home all year round. Chu Mo has been able to take care of himself since he was a child, and he never thought of needing someone to wait on him.
But now, Chu Mo really felt that it would be impossible without some young maids in the house.
"It seems that if I have time, I should go and recruit some maids." Chu Mo muttered, walked out of the gate, and walked towards the Taotie Tower.
Because years ago, there were still some things to communicate with Miao Niang.
When they arrived at the Taotie Tower, they hadn't seen Miao Niang yet, but they had seen One-armed Uncle first.
"Master, why are you here? I heard that you have been in the Prince's Mansion a few days ago? Are you okay?" The one-armed middle-aged man looked at Chu Mo with concern on his face.
"Of course it's fine." Chu Mo smiled to reassure the one-armed uncle: "How is that going?"
The one-armed middle-aged man said: "Now there are 150 people! They are already in place. I have tested them myself. No one has thrown away those basic skills! They are all great. After the next year, there should be more than 500 people." You can join. These are the elites of the army back then, and they don’t have any worries, and they are extremely loyal to the old general. However, I didn’t use the banner of the old general, I used the name of the young master .”
"What did they say?" Chu Mo asked.
"The young master has something to do, so of course they don't say anything, and they will fully cooperate." The one-armed middle-aged man said.
"That's good." There was a trace of excitement in Chu Mo's eyes: "In the next year... I might join the army!"
"Join the army? Good!" The one-armed middle-aged man smiled and said, "How wonderful the army is!"
Chu Mo saw a trace of envy and loneliness in the eyes of the one-armed uncle. This iron-like man obviously still misses his life in the army.
"Uncle One-Armed, don't worry, maybe one day you will have a chance to return to the army!" Chu Mo comforted.
"Forget it, even if I go back like this, it doesn't make much sense. I'm very motivated to do this for the young master now!" The one-armed middle-aged man looked at Chu Mo seriously: "Thank you very much, young master. This opportunity!"
Chu Mo smiled and waved his hands: "Uncle, please don't say that, you are my elder and watched me grow up."
"Yeah, he has grown so big in a flash, and he is about to start making achievements!" The one-armed middle-aged man was a little emotional.
At this time, Miao Niang walked in from the outside, looked at Chu Mo, with a little joy in her eyes: "The matter at the Prince's Mansion is over?"
Chu Mo nodded: "It's half over, basically it's all right now."
"That's good, I've been a little worried." Miao Niang said, and asked for some clothes to be brought over: "You should still go to this New Year's dinner, right? There isn't even a girl in your house. , and no one is waiting for you. The New Year's dinner is different than usual, so don't dress too casually, it will make people laugh."
Chu Mo chuckled: "I'm about to ask my sister for help, but my sister is thoughtful."
Miao Niang said with a smile: "You... wait a while, my sister will send a few maids over there. There are not many maids in the house to serve, so it must be impossible."
"Then I won't be polite." Chu Mo said with a smile.
"Why are you being polite to my sister?" Miao Niang rolled her eyes at Chu Mo.
The one-armed middle-aged man sat there, looking at the two suspiciously. Although he knew that the young master knew this Miao Niang very well, he did not expect that the two were so close. Seeing how the young master is doing well, he was also very happy in his heart, and said: "By the way, the tendons, bones, and skins of those primordial beasts are not recommended to be sold at the auction house at one time, because in this case, the price will be lowered." , They are planning to build up their momentum at the first auction in the next year, and then sell them little by little, so that they can fetch the best price. What do you think, young master?"
"This is of course the best, anyway, as long as you don't trick us." Chu Mo said.
"They don't dare, even if there are sects behind them, they will still do business in Yanhuang City after all." Miao Niang interjected.
The one-armed middle-aged man nodded: "That's right, they now treat me like an ancestor and dare not offend me."
Chu Mo was here, chatted with the two for a while about forming forces, and then left.
Finally came the New Year's Day, the entire Fan Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the atmosphere was very festive.
Miao Niang sent over ten maids, making the General's Mansion, which was originally deserted and blunt, a little softer. These maids are all the daughters of kind people, hardworking and winky, and know how to advance and retreat.
After coming to Fan Mansion, he immediately fell in love with this place without too many strict rules, and quickly integrated into it. Get along very well with those people in the house.
In the evening, a very low-key, unmarked carriage stopped at the gate of Fan Mansion.
The people who came out from inside, after showing their badges, startled the guards of Fan Mansion, and immediately came in to report.
"People in the palace?" Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, and then remembered what Xu Zhongliang had said to him. Before the New Year's dinner, there was an award ceremony!
"Should be here to pick me up." Chu Mo changed into the costume for the party, and his demeanor made him even more tall and straight.
Afterwards, Chu Mo went out, and after looking at the man's badge, he didn't ask any further questions, and got into the carriage directly. After entering, I realized that the carriage looked very low-key on the outside, but inside it was full of secrets.
In the eye, there is a small coffee table in the middle, with fruits and some snacks on it, and a circle of soft couches around the coffee table. The width is moderate, even if people lie on it, there is no problem. Every detail in the car is unique and meticulously set.
The carriage was running very smoothly on the road, without feeling the slightest bump.
Chu Mo leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes slightly, and thought about what he would say and do when he saw the emperor and Marshal Fang during the award ceremony for a while. Chu Mo had already learned some etiquette knowledge since he was a child, but it was the first time that he directly dealt with such high-ranking figures as the emperor and Fang Mingtong.
"It's probably about the same as Grandpa Xu..." Chu Mo thought to himself.
At this time, Chu Mo felt that the carriage seemed to turn a corner, and this turn... In Chu Mo's memory, it was not heading towards the imperial city!
Every year, the New Year's dinner is held in the banquet hall of the imperial city. That hall can accommodate more than 2,000 people to dine at the same time, and it is the largest banquet hall in the entire Yanhuang City.
"Could it be changed?" The carriage has no windows, so it is impossible to see the outside directly with the eyes.
Chu Mo frowned, and then, with a thought, he glanced at the driver outside with his jade.
"The third floor of the yellow class, the second level of constitution, and no disease." The information Yu gave was very simple, but it made Chu Mo feel a little strange. Because even the royal family is unlikely to use a Yuanguan warrior as a driver!
"Brother, what is your position in the palace?" Chu Mo asked after thinking about it in the car.
"Young master Chu, the young one is just a small guard in the palace." The coachman outside replied with a bit of respect in his tone.
Chu Mo asked again: "Then you came to pick me up... What's going on? I remember that normally, I shouldn't have the qualifications."
"Master Chu is too modest, you are representing your grandfather to attend the court dinner, and the old general is working hard at the front, so it is right for the palace to send a carriage to pick you up!" The coachman's tone became more respectful: "We all respect the old general! "
Chu Mo snorted and didn't say anything more, but a strong vigilance had already been raised in his heart!
Originally, he thought that the carriage was sent by the emperor to pick him up. Although the awarding ceremony was internal, it was personally presided over and witnessed by the emperor, Fang Mingtong and Xu Zhongliang. This standard should be the highest. Therefore, it is reasonable to send a car to pick him up.
But now Chu Mo realizes... something seems to be wrong!
First of all, the coachman outside is probably not a palace guard! The third-level Yuanguan warrior is just an ordinary guard? This is problematic in itself! Secondly, it's not surprising that this person didn't know that he was going to participate in the award, but he didn't say that he was sent by the emperor, the chief assistant, or Marshal Fang... There is a problem here.
Most importantly, as the carriage turned several times, Chu Mo could already conclude: this road is not the road leading to the palace!
But Chu Mo didn't know that not long after he left, another carriage arrived at Fan's mansion, but it was empty.
"Young master Chu, time is running out, I need to speed up, you sit still!" Seeing that Chu Mo was silent, the coachman said suddenly from outside.
Suddenly, a strong warning sign rose in Chu Mo's heart. Without any hesitation, he punched the carriage beside him!
Boom!
Boom!
A bang!
The entire carriage trembled violently.
With this punch, Chu Mo didn't spare any strength, and under the power of the dragon elephant, he used Chu Mo's most powerful technique. Not to mention a mere carriage, even a house could be smashed to pieces.
But... There was no serious damage to the compartment of the carriage. The fur pasted on the compartment was shattered, revealing the black lacquered steel!
The carriage of this carriage is actually made of fine steel!
bang bang!
Chu Mo threw out two more punches, blasting towards the other two places.
The huge force made the two horses pulling the cart completely unbearable. They neighed and fell to the ground. At the same time, with a bang, the carriage rolled over onto the road, causing passers-by to exclaim.
Chu Mo had also discovered at this time that the entire carriage was actually made of a single piece of fine steel... It fits perfectly, like a steel cage!
