"Li Mo, do you know why I left you alone?"
King Gongxian stood up and walked to Li Mo's side.
"Anyway, the prince wants to reward me!"
Li Mo was not as afraid of King Gongxian as Liu Changhe.
"Hmph! Don't tell me that you guessed it right, I just want to reward you! From today on, you are no longer a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Shi Ping, the governor of Yanggu County, is old, and his descendants are not up to expectations. .You will go to Yunxi City in Yanggu County to take up the post in a few days!"
When Li Mo heard this, he didn't know what the prince was up to. Just now he was furious with himself and wanted to behead himself in public, but now he was made a county guard. The thoughts of this superior person really cannot be viewed from ordinary people's perspective.
"What? Don't you want to?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support, but please think twice about Prince Gongqing!"
"Li Mo, I know what you are thinking. There is no need to pretend to me. If you were not sure, you would not come here to ask me for advice. Liu Changhe's courage in being an official has been worn away. But He is a good official praised by the people! As for you, I still appreciate your ambition!"
"Your Majesty, are you trying to instruct me? Don't worry, Your Majesty, my ambition, Li Mo, is not in the imperial court, and it was accidental that I obtained the title of Marquis of Wanhu. It can be said that I am the person who poses the least threat to you in the entire court!"
"Hahaha... Li Mo, now you can go and do what you want to do. But I will say ugly things first. If you fail, I will not help you. Your mind should understand the reason. Okay. You can leave, I’ll pretend you haven’t been here today!”
How could Li Mo not know what he meant? Xuangu Continent is currently facing internal and external troubles. If we take action against King Gongqing at this time, we will succeed, but if we fail, the world will be in chaos. If the current Holy One tracks him down by then, even if he is King Gongxian, his status will probably be in jeopardy!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Since King Gongxian had already issued an order to expel guests, it was useless to say more. Li Mo turned around and left the study.
"Li Mo, Li Mo! If this thing succeeds, I really have to thank you very much!"
Watching Li Mo disappear, King Gongxian showed an intriguing smile on his face.
"How is Xiaomo? Has the prince agreed?"
Seeing Li Mo leaving the study, Liu Changhe, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Uncle Liu, although the prince did not directly express his support, he still acquiesced to my opinion."
"Tacit consent? What do you mean? Does the prince really have to agree to your opinion?"
"Well, that's right!"
Because the matter was urgent, Li Mo was afraid that Xuanyuan Wudi would go to Yuqing Prefecture alone to take revenge. So after the two left the prince's house, Li Mo said goodbye to Liu Changhe and told him that he was named the governor of Yanggu County. Liu Changhe was also happy for Li Mo. He actually became the guardian of a county at such a young age. His future was limitless!
However, Li Mo didn't think so. King Gongxian was able to make him the county governor because of course he was interested in his potential in the future. Giving him the important position of county governor was just to win people's hearts.
When Li Mo returned to Tianping Town, Liu Yan had been released from seclusion and was now a strong martial artist. And the 'Baduanhu' becomes more powerful as her strength grows. Now Yang Shuo, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu saw Liu Yan like a mouse seeing a cat. I never want to be her sparring partner again.
When Li Mo came to Xuanyuan Wudi's courtyard, Xuanyuan Wudi was drinking tea with Xuanyuan Qing beside him.
"Senior, I'm back!"
"Qing'er, you go out first. Li Mo and I still have something to talk about!"
Although Xuanyuan Qing was very reluctant, she still didn't dare to go against her grandfather's words. He made a face to Li Mo and ran out to play.
"Li Mo, did you, Prince Gongxian, agree?"
"Senior, although King Gongxian did not promise me directly, but..."
At that moment, Li Mo recounted the entire conversation between himself and King Gongxian word for word.
"Hmph! This King Gongxian is really good at scheming. I can be sure that his ambition is no less than that of King Gongqing. But this man's palace is incomparable to King Gongqing."
Who is Xuanyuan Wudi? How could he not see through King Gongxian’s tricks
"What the senior said is absolutely true. If we succeed this time, he will be the biggest beneficiary. If we fail, he will put all the faults on our heads. It seems that we can only succeed in this matter. Can’t fail!”
"Humph! Xiaomo, you don't have to worry too much. As long as he agrees to our plan, I will do the rest with my old bones. You just need to help me take good care of Qing'er. "
"Senior, I, Li Mo, am by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. You are kind to me, and your affairs are also my affairs. How could I let you go to take revenge!"
Li Mo's words were sincere and sincere, Xuanyuan Wudi, who was a powerful Martial Emperor, couldn't see any hypocrisy in them.
"Okay! I, Xuanyuan Wudi, did not misjudge the person. In this case, you and I will go together!"
"Senior, please be patient. Before I go to Yuqingzhou, I have one more thing to do!"
…
That night, Li Mo summoned everyone from the Lord Hou's house to the meeting hall.
"Xiaomo, is there anything important that brought us here so late today?"
Yang Shuo asked everyone's questions.
"Brother Yang, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in Taiping Town!"
"What?"
"What's going on Xiaomo?"
"Yes! What happened to Brother Li?"
Bai Xiao was also very puzzled as to why Li Mo suddenly said this. Taiping Town was the place where he was born and raised, and he would really be reluctant to leave!
…
"Hey! Don't panic, nothing happened. It's just that I am no longer a Marquis of Wanhu. King Gongxian ordered me to be the governor of Yanggu County, so we will go to Yunxi City tomorrow!"
"Haha... It seems that our official career in Xiaomo is really prosperous. We have become the governor of a county at such a young age. What a joy to congratulate!"
"Xiaomo, you are the youngest county guard in the history of our Xuangu Continent!"
"Of course, don't look at the strength of my brother Li!"
…
Everyone was discussing again.
"Everyone, be quiet. Although we are going to Yanggu County, I don't want to give up here. So someone needs to stay here and continue to develop."
Li Mo looked at everyone and wondered who could take on the important task. In fact, Li Mo's actions also left a way out for his future. His ideal was not to join the officialdom, but to reach the supreme realm. The reason why I agreed to be the county guard is to take advantage of this power to protect my family and friends in this world, which will save me a lot of trouble. "Bai Xiao! If I leave you in Taiping Town, do you have any objections?"
"Brother Li, you are Bai Xiao's great benefactor. As long as you order me, I will do whatever it takes, even if it means going to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire."
Bai Xiao's words to Li Mo seemed to be true to his words, and this arrangement for Li Mo had no meaning.
"Well, brothers Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, and Wang Qiang, you will also stay in Taiping Town with Bai Xiao. The others will follow me to Yanggu County tomorrow!"
Li Mo made this arrangement because he wanted to train Bai Xiao. After all, he was brought up by himself, and Li Mo still had great expectations for him. The strength of brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu is no longer what it used to be. They made a lot of mistakes when they came to protect Bai Xiao. If something unexpected happened in Taiping Town, the distance between the two places would only take half a day for Li Mo now.
"Okay, everyone, go back and prepare yourself. We will leave for Yanggu County early tomorrow morning!"
