CHAPTER 700: CHAPTER 265: PRINCESS’S INVITATION! COME TO MY ROOM TONIGHT!

"Chen Mo, have you caused enough trouble?"

The voice carried a lazy undertone, tinged with a raspy texture.

Chen Mo was very familiar with this voice; it was from the Long Princess who wanted to take him as a concubine after just one meeting.

In the courtyard, two figures suddenly appeared.

Chu Yanli was still dressed in her martial robe, with long legs and a slim waist, her eyebrows sharp as knives, exuding a domineering aura. Lu Shuangge stood by her side, holding a long sword, her delicate face expressionless.

Seeing Lin Junxian pinned to the wall, Lu Shuangge slightly raised her eyebrow.

The Five Cities Military Department focused on maintaining law and order, and though their strength was somewhat inferior to the Imperial Army stationed in the Capital City, they were still part of the Imperial Army. Their armor was uniformly crafted by the Military Equipment Supervision, made of special materials and reinforced with arrays, making it extremely durable.

Yet Chen Mo casually pierced through both the armor and the person, and that was a Divine Sea Peak Fourth Rank Martial Cultivator!

This strength was likely already infinitely close to being a Grandmaster, no wonder even Shi Yun couldn’t defeat him!

Clang—

The soldiers of the Military Prison did not recognize the two and assumed they were Chen Mo’s reinforcements, stepping forward boldly, the military array constantly pressing in.

The sense of pressure was immense.

"Your steps are scattered, your formation unstable, not even exerting one-third of the Fish Scale Formation’s power. Is this how you usually train?" Chu Yanli said coldly, "It seems after the Xu Family’s fall, the Ministry of War is left with a bunch of useless people just taking up space."

Lu Shuangge raised a golden token engraved with a Golden Phoenix, scolding, "Insolent! How dare you show disrespect to the Long Princess! Don’t you want your heads?"

?!

Princess Xuanhuang?

Everyone present was stunned.

Wasn’t the Long Princess guarding the border in the Southern Border? How could she suddenly appear here?

"Someone quickly come and get me down!" At this moment, Lin Junxian hanging on the wall spoke urgently.

"Yes."

Vice Envoy Yu Yu came to his senses and stepped forward to try to pull out the golden spear, but even exerting all his strength, it wouldn’t budge.

Finally, a few soldiers carried Lin Junxian, inching him off the spear shaft, causing his face to turn pale with pain, sweat rolling down like beans.

Having just left the golden spear, he couldn’t care less about the pain, pushed the crowd away, and stumbled to kneel before the Long Princess with a thud.

"Commander Lin Junxian of the East City Military Department, pays respects to Her Highness the Long Princess!"

"This subordinate has poorly managed his subordinates, offending Your Highness’s majesty. I humbly beg for your forgiveness!"

Others might not recognize her, but he had seen her with his own eyes!

Back when the Long Princess led troops into battle, he was just a small camp attendant, and in a fleeting glimpse, he was fortunate to see her dignified presence!

Seeing this, the others finally realized that this woman before them truly was the Princess Xuanhuang!

Crash—

The crowd threw their weapons to the ground, a black mass kneeling down.

"Greetings to Her Highness the Long Princess!"

Chu Yanli paid them no mind, her eyes cold as stars scanning the courtyard.

Only to see that more than half of the Prince Mansion Guards were either dead or injured, and the flagstones in the courtyard were stained dark red with blood.

"Chen Mo, are you here to investigate a case or to seize the prince’s mansion?"

"..."

Chen Mo hadn’t intended to cause such a big disturbance.

Before coming, he had already thought it through: if Chu Heng cooperated, he would take him back to the Imperial Prison for interrogation; if he dared to resist, he would kill him on the spot.

However, Chu Heng anticipated Chen Mo’s return but didn’t expect him to get the support of the Three Departments. So he had given the guards a death order in advance to give him a show of strength, but after they were slaughtered through, a document was slapped onto his face, and he had to cooperate with the investigation obediently.

"By the judgment of the Three Departments, Chu Heng is suspected of treason. I am here to arrest him under orders."

"But the Prince Yu Mansion guards ignored the majesty of national law and resisted violently. I had no choice but to act. I hope Your Highness can see clearly."

Chen Mo said with clasped hands.

Lin Junxian heard this and sneered.

Does this guy still not understand the situation?

Prince Yu and the Long Princess addressed each other as siblings. Now, the mansion is slaughtered, the princely heir detained as a suspect; how could this aunt stand by idly?

With the character of the Princess Xuanhuang, Chen Mo is going to be in trouble!

"Hiss!"

Lin Junxian had already tried to contract his muscles to stop the bleeding and used his True Yuan to seal his energy channels to prevent serious injury, but his ribs still throbbed with knife-like pain.

That spear thrust from Chen Mo was truly vicious, rupturing his spleen and kidneys.

Even if he went back to find a healer for treatment, he’d probably be bedridden for a month or two to recover.

Thinking of this, Lin Junxian’s hatred deepened, deciding to stoke the fire, immediately saying:

"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate received a distress signal from the Prince Yu Mansion. Upon arrival, this is the scene I saw."

"Maintaining the Capital’s security is the duty of the Military Prison. I dared not slack off, so I sealed the area and tried to inquire the reason, but unexpectedly, Mr. Chen came and thrust a spear without saying a word..."

He paused, hinting, "I heard that the princely heir and Mr. Chen had longstanding enmity. Recently, Chen Mo severely injured the princely heir, and now, under the guise of handling a case, he is actually venting his personal grudge..."

"Cough, of course, this is just my conjecture, not to be taken seriously. Your Highness should just listen and not mind."

Li Yuan’s brows knitted tightly, and Qiu Longgang was filled with rage.

It was clearly the Military Prison obstructing law enforcement, but now they were reversing the situation, accusing Chen Mo of using personal vendettas!

And they deliberately mentioned the feud between the two to divert attention and stir the fire!

"You shut..."

Before Qiu Longgang could finish, the Long Princess’s indifferent voice sounded, "Who are you to speak out of turn when I’m talking to Chen Mo?"
