Chapter 269 cracks
In that smile, there was a little helplessness, a little sarcastic, and a little sadness.
"That's it?" Chu Mo asked softly at the eunuch who was delivering the order.
The third prince Xia Hao was also shocked by the contents of this secret order and could not speak. Hearing Chu Mo's tone, he suddenly became angry and sneered: "I grant you the King of Chu, and I will give you 18 gold medals to avoid death. The king's title has been passed down from generation to generation, and 18 gold medals to avoid death... But it can be passed down to descendants... Even if we princes are not able to get such rewards, what else are you not satisfied with?"
Xia Hao's words were somewhat heartbroken. Chu Mo did not say that he was not satisfied. Although others could see that Chu Mo was emotional, he did not say it in person after all, right?
Fan Wudi was beside him, his eyes were cold. The old general had a straightforward temperament throughout his life and never liked to hide anything. But this does not mean that he did not understand the world. If he really didn't know anything, how could he be promoted from a soldier to a general step by step?
There are many brave and upright generals, but to this day, how many can become generals of January?
Fan Wudi has always been very disliked by this third prince, especially after Xia Hao met his grandson, the veteran general's evaluation of the prince fell directly to the bottom.
Listening to Xia Hao's words, Fan Wudi finally couldn't help but couldn't help but the anger in his heart: "What kind of reward Chu Mo got was earned by his real military merits! What qualifications do you have to compare with him as a prince who has no achievements? What are you... what do you think?"
Xia Hao's handsome face suddenly turned ashen and even a little purple, and he glared at Fan Wudi: "Do you dare to talk to me like this?"
Bang!
A crisp sound.
Xia Hao was slapped hard in the face.
Chu Mo stood in front of Xia Hao, looking at Xia Hao with cold eyes: "You are just a prince now, and you have not really been crowned as king yet. Call you Your Highness. That is a kind of politeness to you, but don't forget your identity. In front of me, you are not qualified to be arrogant."
Xia Hao was so angry that he was about to explode when Chu Mo said something. A strategist next to him hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "Your Highness... calm down!"
Xia Hao's chest was fluctuating violently, and his eyes were looking at Chu Mo with a ferocious look. After a long time, he suddenly laughed: "What can this happen? Whether it is the King of Chu or the gold medal to avoid death... the final winner is me! Chu Mo, you can be your King of Chu with peace of mind!"
The ferociousness in Xia Hao's eyes gradually turned into pride. He looked at Chu Mo with a sneer, and then said, "After all, this world is my Xia family!"
These words were heard by the senior generals on Fan Wudi's side and the generals on the Miner's Legion. They all looked at Xia Hao and became very bored.
He Xu bowed to Chu Mo: "Young Master, I wish you a bright future. I still have military affairs here, so I won't say goodbye to your son. I will leave first!"
On the side of the Miner's Army, Chu Mo left, and He Xu was the chief general. This army was directly obeyed the emperor. Others could not get involved.
Therefore, He Xu's actions were not aimed at Chu Mo. He had only gratitude to Chu Mo. He really didn't want to see Xia Hao's ugly face and wanted to leave directly.
"Wait..." Xia Hao smiled faintly, and then said: "Father is in his life. The miners' army must stay here for the time being, cooperate with my army to launch a strike against Daqi..."
"What?" He Xu immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Hao.
Xia Hao slowly took out a secret order from his arms and handed it to He Xu, and said lightly: "This is the secret order of the father!" As he said that, he also looked at Chu Mo as a demonstration.
You have a secret, so do I!
Chu Mo did not respond much. The Miner's Legion was not his. Although He Xu and the soldiers of the Miner's Legion were grateful to him, they were even more loyal to Daxia and the royal family in their hearts.
He Xu was really uncomfortable!
Just as the veteran General Fan Wudi said just now, what qualifications do you have to show off in front of soldiers with outstanding military achievements? We obey the royal family, but you Xia Hao... cannot represent the royal family!
How are you crazy?
In fact, Xia Hao is not the kind of brainless person. He comes from the royal family and has received the top royal education since childhood. How could he not even understand the principles of being a human being?
But he really hated Chu Mo in his heart. Anything that involves Chu Mo would make him feel crazy.
Seeing that He Xu and the soldiers of the Miner Army respected Chu Mo very much, the anger in his heart also rushed forward.
He Xu took the secret order, opened it, took a look, and said with a ugly expression: "I understand, wait until there is any military information, let me know!"
As he said that, He Xu led the final person directly, clasped his fists at Chu Mo and Fan Wudi, and left directly.
The soldiers under Fan Wudi's command all looked up and came over to say goodbye to Fan Wudi, and then left.
In the end, only Chu Mo and Fan Wudi, the eunuch who passed the order, as well as the third prince Xia Hao and several of his confidants were left.
The little Shiba Inu dozed off in Chu Mo's pocket, and the big rooster was nowhere to go. Anyway, it could always find Chu Mo, so Chu Mo was not worried.
Seeing the generals here and the generals of the Miner's Legion ignored him, the expression on Xia Hao's face was quite ugly, but he still had a lot of confidence in himself.
"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. As long as I give these people enough benefits, they will soon turn to my command!" Xia Hao sneered in his heart, then looked at Chu Mo and Fan Wudi, and said arrogantly: "Two... walk slowly but not send me off!"
Fan Wudi's eyes are wide open. As a veteran who has been through the battlefield and has made great contributions to the country, he really cannot tolerate Xia Hao's attitude.
However, Chu Mo gently pulled Fan Wudi: "Go away, grandpa, you said that you are tired, you have to go back to retire..."
Fan Wudi sighed, and instantly felt like he was aged teenager, nodding: "Okay, let's go!"
Xia Hao's mouth was raised, and his face showed an extremely proud look.
Even the eunuch who sent the order could not see this scene, but he could not say anything. He just said in his heart: The birds were hidden all over the bow, and the rabbits were cooked by the dogs... Although the emperor seemed to have given Fan Wudi and Chu Motian a great reward, in fact, isn't it another way to kill the donkey?
I'm afraid, this is also because Chu Mo is so powerful that the royal family is very afraid of it. Otherwise, these rewards... would probably not be possible. There might even be a disaster!
As a celebrity around the emperor, he really doesn't see too many such things.
Fan Wudi took a last look at the military camp behind him and shook his head slightly: "Let's go!"
Chu Mo smiled and shook grandpa's hand, and said softly: "It's okay."
