I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1026 - 381: The Princess’s Purge Plan! No More Pretending! (Part 2)

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "No matter how beautiful the woman is, it's no longer intriguing to those officials; they've long grown bored. On the other hand, Barbarian Tribe women have a unique allure. It's said that the intoxicating and enchanting sensation would leave one wanting more; otherwise, the old case wouldn't have implicated so many officials..."

"But aside from that, there likely are other reasons."

"If the goal of the person behind the scenes is to overthrow the Imperial Power of Great Yuan, merely manipulating ministers in the court might be insufficient; external forces would be needed."

"The Demon Clan is wild and uncivilized, incapable of great achievements, which Chu Heng has already proven with his life. That leaves only the Barbarians from the south as potential allies."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanli fell silent for a while.

Currently, only this explanation makes sense.

So, those Barbarians haven't given up, preparing to "invade" Great Yuan through other means?

"Seems my thoughts have always been correct," Chu Yanli murmured, "Aggressors never repent; they seize any chance to make a comeback. The only solution is to annihilate them completely and expand the territory into Great Yuan's map."

Chen Mo: "..."

To accomplish a feat like "mass slaughtering a thousand miles to cast a capital specter," saying such things is no surprise.

The Princess has never been a supporter of Imperial Power. In her eyes, emperors can be replaced anytime, but Great Yuan's land must never be violated by foreign tribes.

"That's off-topic."

Chen Mo turned to Wang Kui and spoke up, "What else do you know? Spill everything."

Wang Kui looked woodenly and said, "The buyer requested too many goods this time, so they were divided into two shipments. The second batch is docked at Jinsha Port, while the first batch arrived at Bailu City three days ago."

?!

Chen Mo's face changed, and he pressed, "Where is that batch now?"

Wang Kui shook his head and said, "Not sure, Tang Xingbang personally handled it and kept it away from me entirely."

Chen Mo and Chu Yanli exchanged a grave look.

No wonder the other party is eager to eliminate Tang Xingbang; it's all about sacrificing a pawn to protect the king.

The first batch of Barbarian Slaves arrived at Bailu City ahead of schedule, possibly already seeded with Gu Poison Worms. If they infiltrate the Capital City, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Subsequently, Wang Kui exposed all accomplices involved, while Yu Zhe stood nearby, recording everything with pen and paper.

When there was nothing left to extract, Chen Mo snapped his neck, loathing aura swirling, eroding the corpse until it vanished completely.

Witnessing this terrifying scene, a few officials from the Maritime Trade Bureau felt their scalps tingle.

Yet what truly horrified them was that the Maritime Trade Bureau indeed had an insider, and it was their superior!

"The person behind the scenes likely wants to relocate the Barbarian Slaves; we can't delay any longer. We must act tonight!" Chu Yanli furrowed her brows, hesitating, "But the opponent can break through the Xuan Armor Guard's blockade; capturing him is really difficult..."

Chen Mo rubbed his chin, pondering, "That batch of Barbarian Slaves likely hasn't been dealt yet, or else the counterpart wouldn't rush to silence them. Since they aren't at Jinsha Port, where could they be hidden?"

Buzz—

At that moment, the Communication Jade Token transmitted a wave.

"It's news from Ye Zi'e, there's activity at Purple Cloud Temple," Chen Mo's eyes glinted.

"I'll go with you," Chu Yanli said.

Chen Mo shook his head, whispered, "Wang Kui pointed out only small fry, surely there are more vermin inside the State Mansion, plus Her Majesty the Empress is still here. You can't leave; follow the original plan."

"Well... alright."

Chu Yanli hesitated but didn't insist. She turned to Yu Zhe and said, "You go with him, follow Chen Qianhu's commands throughout, and report any situation promptly."

"Yes."

Yu Zhe bowed in response.

"Let's go."

Electric arcs surged around Chen Mo, shooting forth like an arrow.

At Yu Zhe's feet, Qi Force erupted powerfully, soaring up, closely following, even clad in heavy armor, his speed was undiminished.

A purple and a black streak of light sliced through the sky, flying towards the outskirts.

Midair, Yu Zhe glanced at Chen Mo and initiated, "Though Mr. Chen and I are colleagues, this is actually our first meeting."

Chen Mo is not only a households leader at Qilin Pavilion but also serves as the Yulin Army Lang General, akin to Yu Zhe under the Imperial Court Guards.

However, the rank of the Xuan Armor Guard is higher, being one of the most elite guards, under the direct command of only the Emperor and the Princess with both Heavenly Decree Seal and Tiger Talisman.

"Honestly, the Government work is overly busy. I've been short-handed, rarely venturing to the palace," Chen Mo remarked casually.

In truth, he's visited the palace more often than returning home.

Yet he mostly rushes between the Imperial Consort and the Empress, seldom taking on duty there. In a strict sense, claiming he's drawing an empty salary wouldn't be unjust.

Yu Zhe didn't mind this, smiling, he commented, "Mr. Chen has solved major cases continuously, saving countless people from peril. If patrolling within the palace all day for guard duty, it truly would waste your talents."

"Just arrived at Bailu City a few days ago and already unraveled the ins and outs of the case. I reckon it won't be long before another chapter of glory in your merit record."

Chen Mo shook his head, "The Gu God Sect's details are still unclear, the whereabouts of the Barbarian Slaves remain unknown. It's too early to talk about that." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Isn't that simple?" Yu Zhe waved off, "I see Mr. Chen is a master of Illusion Technique. Just capture that Daoist Xuanzhen for interrogation, and everything will become clear, won't it?"

"Not to mention the Gu God Sect uses methods to shield memories; my Divine Skills aren't omnipotent, their effect isn't as strong against those with firm wills." Saying this, Chen Mo paused briefly, turned to Yu Zhe, "But, Mr. Yu, how do you know about the name Xuanzhen? I recall not mentioning him to you, did I?"
