"I wonder if there's any inconvenience?" Qin Mo's voice was drawn out, her eyes half-closed, revealing a cold glint.

"Someone has accused you, Your Highness, of disrespecting etiquette, elders, and being extremely unfilial. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, the Central Military Command cannot bestow military rewards upon you!"

Qin Mo glanced at Chen Xuanji sideways but didn't speak immediately. Chen Xuanji's accusations could be serious; in severe cases, it could reduce her to a commoner, depending on which powerful figure she had offended.

"As a member of the royal family, I cannot tolerate being slandered. I disrespect my elders? Who are my elders? Besides, this is not something your Central Military Command should concern yourself with!"

Qin Mo is a member of the royal family, and although he is from a branch, he is still listed in the genealogy of the Imperial Clan Court. If he commits a crime, it should be handled by the Imperial Clan Court, not the Central Military Commission.

"Your Highness smiled. The Central Military Command naturally cannot interrogate members of the royal family, but since it involves military secrets, we cannot sit idly by. Please wait a while, Your Highness. Once the matter is investigated, we will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Halfway through, Commander Chen still doesn't understand which superior I disrespected, or which military opportunity I delayed? The lives of my three thousand soldiers cannot be spared from your idle talk!"

With a loud bang, Qin Mo smashed the armrest of the chair, stood up and stared directly at Chen Xuanji. He had been holding back for a while but finally exploded, "You're just a lowly Earth Realm cultivator, what are you pretending to be, some big shot?"

Before Chen Xuanji could react, Qin Mo asked, "I have been a high-ranking official for a long time, and in recent years I have only met two people who claimed to be my elders. One is General Zhao Qirui, who claims to be my uncle, and the other is Zhou Yuan, who claims to be my uncle. I wonder if these two are your elders?"

Chen Xuanji's rising momentum was immediately suppressed. He couldn't afford to offend either of Qin Mo's two people. He was just using this as an excuse to delay Qin Mo's military merit reward; it wasn't worth it to really break off relations.

"Your Highness's cousin has come to my Central Army Headquarters to complain that Your Highness humiliated and insulted him in the marketplace, causing him to suffer from mental distress, fall seriously ill, and become unable to fight against the orcs, thus delaying the Emperor's northern expedition. Do you plead guilty, Your Highness?"

Qin Mo looked at the deputy commander of the Central Military Command, wondering who had given him this outrageous idea. Did he really think he could meddle in the affairs of the royal family? Did he really think the Emperor would back him up in everything?

Qin Mo gave Chen Xuanji the middle finger without saying a word and turned to leave, leaving Chen Xuanji puzzled. What kind of etiquette was that gesture?

Stepping out of the Central Military Headquarters, Qin Mo was furious. In her previous life, she had had enough of the filthy bureaucracy, and now she had been tricked again. In the end, she had even dragged her two uncles into it; looking back, it was truly shameful.

"Liu Renguang, tonight you divide our men into twenty groups and take them to the most bustling restaurant for dinner."

Qin Mo beckoned the head of her personal guards over and gave him instructions.

"Young Master, this... the brothers don't like the liquor in the capital. How about we get some of our strong liquor?"

"Did I tell you to go drinking? Did I tell you to go drinking?" Qin Mo kicked the idiots repeatedly, they were such a bunch of blockheads.

"When you get to the restaurant, be generous and spread the word. I want the whole city to know by tomorrow morning." Qin Mo explained the plan to him in detail and told him to spread the news.

Liu Renguang's face contorted like a steamed bun. "Young Master, there are a million people in the capital, and we brothers only number a hundred. I'm afraid we can't let the whole city know!"

"I'll beat you to death, you blockhead! Whose lackey isn't full of bad intentions? Why are you so naive? Go work in a steel mill! Forge your heart into solid iron..."

Liu Renguang didn't wait to be beaten any longer; he immediately ran for his life. Because Qin Mo had really started fighting, and if he didn't run, he would really be beaten to death.

Liu Renguang returned to the inn with a worried look on his face. He was definitely good at killing people, but asking him to spread rumors and cause trouble... was indeed asking too much of him.

"Uncle Liu, you're back. Has the young master returned yet?"

Liu Renguang looked up and saw a person bowing to him. The person had a round, smiling face that made him look approachable.

Liu Renguang grabbed him in one go. "Yongqian? Great! You've come at the perfect time. The young master has given me a task. Give me some advice."

Lin Yongqian was originally at the Tongxian Wharf arranging for the return of his troops home. Today, he took the time to come to the capital to visit Qin Mo. After all, she is a big boss. Whether you can see her or not is one thing, but whether you come or not is a matter of attitude.

After listening to Liu Renguang's explanation and asking a few more questions, Lin Yongqian laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'm not as good as you at fighting, but as for being mean... hehehehe!"
