Chapter 508 The King Doesn't Hold Morning Court
The Fountain of Life is amazing. Allen saw results quickly after drinking it. Although he didn't immediately regain the weight he had lost, his complexion improved, and it seemed that regaining his strength was only a matter of time.
Wang Yushi's complexion grew increasingly worse!
The message from the capital city came from the Imperial Bank of Finance, and to be precise, it was a plea for help sent to Qin Mo.
When Wang Yushi handed over the inner treasury, she left some properties under Qin Mo's name to house her loyal followers. Qin Mo also had Dayuan Bank take over these "collateral" and personnel.
At the time, Li Ji, the newly appointed head of the Imperial Treasury, did not push things too far and tacitly approved of Qin Mo's actions.
A few days ago, the imperial family suddenly seized all businesses related to Wang Yushi and arrested everyone associated with her, including two important figures.
One is Qing Ning, Wang Yushi's most trusted confidante, and the other is her younger sister, Wang Yuyan.
Manager Mu of the Dayuan Money Shop intervened, only to be told that it was Emperor Zhaowu's order, and the two women were directly invited into the palace.
"I'm risking my life here for the imperial family, but they've seized the property I mortgaged to them. It seems I have to return to the capital to demand an explanation. Uncle Wu, let's quit! Let's break camp and head to the capital!"
"...Your Highness, withdrawing troops without orders is a serious crime, and leading troops into the capital at will...that's treason! Aren't we...aren't we being a bit too hasty?"
Wu Shengze's originally haggard face lit up with excitement. Had his lord finally made up his mind? But the troop movement still needed some planning. It would be better to gather several hundred thousand men by both land and sea to make it look proper.
"Treason? Who said anything about treason? Don't you understand the concept of 'purging the court of corrupt officials'?"
"I understand...I understand...Your Highness's insight is brilliant!"
Qin Mo was really furious. Anyone who had just escaped death and then found that their backyard had been occupied by someone else, and that developer was the very boss they had worked so hard for. What would you do then?
Report that bastard? That's too lenient on him. Don't say anything, just throw bricks into his house tonight! Make sure he never has a moment's peace!
"Bringing troops into the capital? How could you even think of that? You stay here! I'm going to settle all the old and new scores!"
Wang Yushi made a domineering statement, which drew everyone's attention. It wasn't that people doubted her strength, after all, everyone present except Wu Shengze could sense her level of skill.
But Wang Yushi herself didn't realize that her tone towards Qin Mo had changed a lot. Although she spoke somewhat bluntly, the natural sense of closeness she exuded was quite different from before.
Heatherine was alright, but Allen had already frowned, and little Shia's face showed obvious dissatisfaction. What right did you have to scold my man like that?
"...Then be careful!"
"Um!"
Wang Yushi gave a soft "hmm," turned to leave, but then turned back after a moment's thought. She reached out and smoothed out the wrinkles in Qin Mo's clothes before leaving, satisfied.
The hot-tempered Xiaoxia almost went out to fight her. This was provocation, absolutely provocation!
Wang Yushi was indeed deliberately provoking them; no one saw the smug smile on her lips after she turned around.
Heatherine once said something to her that she now finds absolutely right.
"Once you reach the Saint level, you can do whatever you want!"
"Your Highness, do we really still have to... risk our lives for that man?"
"I'll sell my sister's life! I'll report to the Central Military Commission right now that my army has suffered heavy losses and is unable to continue fighting. They need to be rotated out for rest. Tell them to bring in replacements!"
Qin Mo immediately instructed Wu Shengze to select the lightly and seriously wounded who could travel far and arrange for them to return to Dayuan to reunite with their families. In any case, she had brought more people than allowed, and the remaining people were enough to protect themselves.
Qin Mo relayed the news of her return to the military camp to the commander of the Northern Route Army, Prince Anyang, dispelling the ill intentions of many. This kind-hearted member of the royal family arrived the very next day.
"Oh, my dear nephew! You're finally back! I've been so worried these past few days that I haven't been able to eat or sleep well. Now that I see you, I can finally relax."
"Uncle, you're too kind. I only suffered a minor injury, it's nothing serious!"
"It's fortunate you're alright, my dear nephew! I'm not trying to be mean, but you dared to provoke two monsters that even Saint-level beings couldn't handle?"
“Your status is different now, how can you take risks so easily? During the days you were missing, Qin Jian sent me a series of documents, asking me to transfer your senior troops to the Southern Route Army in the name of the Central Military Commission, but I refused them all.”
"Uncle, I threw away all my savings when we retreated back then. I was running for my life and didn't even get any military merits. Now my army is a toothless tiger that can't eat people anymore. Qin Jian can go and gnaw on Lan City himself!"
Qin Mo slammed down her teacup, annoyed, indicating that she was not going south.
"Just Qin Jian? The defeat at Lan City has completely destroyed their morale. If you don't lead those two Saints to keep order, who will dare to fight? What if Arthas comes back?"
"...Arthas coming back? So they mean they want me to die again? Let them dream on! I'll just go to court with him and take him to court against the Emperor!"
Qin Ce's expression hardened. He leaned closer to Qin Mo and whispered, "I heard that His Majesty hasn't attended court for a long time. I'm afraid this lawsuit won't be able to be resolved anytime soon!"
"Hmm? You're not going to court anymore? Why?"
"His Majesty is infatuated with the Empress, indulging in revelry day and night, neglecting state affairs in his love for the beauty!"
"...Nonsense..."
Qin Mo slammed his hand on the table, startling the old prince Qin Ce.
Inside the Fengning Hall of the Great Xia Imperial Palace, the air was filled with the sounds of music and singing.
