Chapter 21 Not a Secret
"You don't have any questions to ask me?" Cang Hao walked slowly on the path, looking at Su Mo's calm and calm face with his head turned, his curiosity grew stronger.

Su Mo glanced at him lightly, then turned her head and looked towards the unknown place ahead: "You can say what you want, and I'm too lazy to inquire if you don't want to."

Cang Hao couldn't help laughing: "You are such a strange woman."

Su Mo was noncommittal.

"My... surname is Cang." Cang Hao's self-introduction was a little rough and difficult, obviously not often, or never solemnly introduced himself to others.

Cang, the surname of the Cang Yue Dynasty, it seems that he is indeed a member of the royal family, and should be a prince.

Su Mo was not surprised, but asked lightly: "Can a prince raise private soldiers?"

Since ancient times, isn't military power feared by all emperors? Even if they are brothers and fathers, raising an army privately would be regarded as treason.

Private soldiers?Cang Hao was noncommittal, looking at the distant sky with his hands behind his back, his peerless face glowed like jade: "This king left the palace at the age of 11 to travel around the world, and now he is twenty-two. In the past 11 years, he has traveled all over the world with his feet. Every inch of land, the power built up, if spread out on paper, is enough to keep the emperor of any country awake at night."

"Since this king recognizes you as a little woman, there is no need to hide anything from you." Looking at Su Mo who was indifferent, Cang Hao smiled lightly: "The army owned by this king is 40 purple-clothed cavalry. There are 15 elite soldiers, distributed in Mianzhou, Cangzhou and other places in the border area. Shuhe in Mianzhou alone commands [-] elite cavalry. There are several other generals under my king's command. I will introduce you when I have a chance.

"These are only the forces belonging to the imperial court. In the Jianghu, Fengyilou is not considered the leader. Of course, no one knows that his influence has already spread all over the world, penetrating the power centers of every country, and every move of the royal family members cannot be avoided. Kaiben King's eyes and ears. Intelligence and assassination are only part of Fengyi Building which is under the responsibility of Xueyue Pavilion. You will learn about the others one by one in the future. While recovering from your injuries in the past two days, you can get to know the landlord Bi Yue first, okay? It is convenient to act in the future.

"Finally, and most importantly..."

"Silver." Su Mo said calmly.

You need money for food and clothing, money for raising soldiers, and money for fighting wars. Without money, everything is empty talk.

Cang Hao nodded: "Plainly speaking, it is silver. Yuecheng is the most prosperous city except Fengcheng, the imperial capital. This king spent only one year here to build Jiyue Villa, and then threw it to Yuecheng. Xiao is in charge, ranging from food and clothing to food and horses. This king has already controlled most of the salt and iron business in various countries...Of course, there are only a few people who really know and understand these things. .”

Su Mo felt that she should not continue to remain calm: "You mean... don't you mean that the economic lifelines of all countries are already in your hands?"

"It should be so." Cang Hao nodded.

Su Mo sighed softly, "It seems that this girl will not have a peaceful life in the future. It is not a task that can be completed in a short time to conquer more than a dozen countries, large and small, one by one."

What a smart and bold girl, Cang Hao didn't deny it, raised his lips slightly, and smiled elegantly, "This king doesn't like large-scale wars, so it's the best way to nibble away in secret, 11 years Enough for me to do a lot of things. Of course, if this reduces the excitement of the challenges you are about to face in the future, I should say sorry."

Su Mo replied with a light sideways glance at his apology, "You are just a prince, even if you become a king, you are only a prince. The emperor won't bother you when you do these things?" Ability and means, and his true identity should never be just a prince. The clear-eyed Su Mo had already guessed a certain possibility in his heart, but he still asked lightly.

Prince, lord... Cang Hao looked at her and smiled: "I forgot to tell you that the names of the princes of this generation of Cang's royal family are all two characters, and there is only one person named 'Hao'."

Cang, Hao? Su Mo raised her eyes in amazement, this name...

Seeing her expression in his eyes, Cang Hao just smiled lightly, "That's right, since the day I was born, this name has represented the responsibility of my life. The word Cang Hao represents the sky, not just Cang Yue's sky. , and in the future it will be the heaven of the entire world.”

"Eleven years ago, when this king left the palace, the only thing he took with him was the jade seal."

Should there be jaw-dropping? Never heard of such a thing.

Su Mo raised her eyebrows: "You have other brothers, right? They will be willing?"

"Brother?" Cang Hao frowned and smiled with deep meaning, hidden in his eyes proudly: "Wouldn't life be a lot less fun if you don't fight or fight? Naturally, they will also compete for power and calculation, but what's the problem?"

Yes, so what's the matter?
Those people, he didn't see them at all.

Tossing and tossing, fighting to the death, in his eyes, it may not even be as good as a joke.

However, he was only a child 11 years ago, and the emperor passed the throne so early, so he is not afraid of accidents?
Although she grew up in Japan because of her father, she was influenced by her mother. While learning Chinese, she also read a lot about Chinese history. Which emperor in history didn’t leave a legacy after dying ?There are even some [-] or [-] princes and grandchildren who fight to the end, leaving only the one who successfully made it to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. .

"I can ask Yue Xiao to tell you in detail when I have a chance in the future. As far as you are concerned, everything about this king is not a secret."

Su Mo nodded lightly, but saw that Cang Hao had stopped, "Here we are."

Um?
Su Mo looked up and found that she had arrived at her residence without knowing it.

He took the lead to enter the room, and a burst of elegant plum blossom scent penetrated into the tip of his nose, causing Su Mo to raise his eyebrows. What are the two of them doing in the room?

"Rhyme."

Hearing the call, two people hurried out from behind the screen, it was Mei Yun and Xue Lian.

"Miss."

"What are you doing?"

Mei Yun stepped forward to bless her, and said in a gentle voice: "I didn't see Miss when I got up this morning, so I thought that Miss should go for a walk, so I picked some fresh plum blossoms with Lian'er in the plum garden, thinking that I would let Miss take a bath A fragrant petal bath."

After serving for a few days, I probably figured out Su Mo's temper. I knew that as long as I don't go against her, this lady is easy to get along with most of the time. There are quite a few, and they are methodical when they talk back.

"It's a very interesting girl."

The deep and smiling male voice suddenly remembered, Mei Yunxuelian and the two were startled, looked up, and knelt down on the ground with a plop in fright, not daring to take a breath.

Strictly speaking, Mei Yun and Xue Lian don't know Cang Hao's identity very well, but they know the sons Yue Xiao and Mo Li.

Yue Xiao is the owner of Jiyue Villa, the wealthiest place in Yuecheng, and he is the son they have served for eight years. Everyone knows this, and Mo Li, the more than 400 guards with strong martial arts skills in Jiyue Villa are all from Mo Li. He was trained, and he also mastered most of the soldiers and horses of Yuecheng. Even the city lord respectfully called him "Mr. Mo" when he saw him, which showed his influence in the holy city.

But these two important men who control the economy and military strength of Yuecheng respectively, must respectfully bow their knees in front of this peerless and handsome young man, and dare not exceed the rules in the slightest.

So, it's no wonder they're terrified like this.

Su Mo said: "Yue Xiao personally selected it, which is naturally the best, but he is a bit timid." After finishing speaking, he said to the two of them, "Get up, go to the kitchen and get some food, I'm hungry."

"Miss, what would you like to eat?" Mei Yun asked softly, the fear on her face was still there.

Su Mo said indifferently: "Whatever you want, take whatever you have." When it comes to food, she basically doesn't pick anything.

"Yes." Respectfully, she bowed and retreated gently pulling Xue Lian.

"Sister Mei, Miss seems to be hurt." Outside the door, the clear voice of the little girl Xue Lian came, implying worry.Mei Yun responded with a low voice, and as her footsteps walked further and further away, the sound gradually disappeared.

Su Mo walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a glass, picked it up and sipped slowly, Cang Hao came here for the second time, and looked around Su Mo slightly with his phoenix eyes: "It's still a good time to live here. Are you used to it?"

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you are used to it or not. It's not the same wherever you live. It's just a resting place."

Cang Hao Fuyi sat down opposite her, and smiled lightly when he heard the words: "Your thoughts are always different from others, should I say that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, or are you low on material desires?"

Su Mo said: "Don't make me so lofty, it's just that there are some things that are not very important, so I don't bother to bother." Anyway, no matter how luxurious it is, it is impossible for this ancient times to have a Simmons mattress of the 21st century.

Cang Hao nodded, and his eyes stopped on her injured arm: "Is it often injured before?" This pain-bearing effort is really admirable.

"Fortunately, I'm used to it." Su Mo replied, thinking for a while and then said: "I used to kill people often."

Speaking of killing people, Cang Hao was not surprised, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "What kind of martial arts did you learn?"

"Martial arts?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "I don't know martial arts, and I don't have what you call internal strength. What I learned are all murderous moves, a deadly move."

"Will you be invisible?"

"Invisibility?" Su Mo thought for a while, "Well, it can also be said that we are called ninjutsu."

"This king has seen this kind of kung fu."

"Hmm... what did you say?" Su Mo was surprised, "You mean, you've seen other people use this kind of forbearance... invisibility?" Could it be that other people here have also traveled here?
Cang Hao nodded: "The last time I met a group of killers outside the city, they used this kind of kung fu. However, their level is far worse than yours. Although they can hide their bodies, they can feel their aura."

But Su Mo can completely restrain his interest. More than 2000 well-trained purple riders couldn't find her hiding place.

It is impossible to travel collectively, so there is only one possibility.

"On this continent, apart from the nine countries recorded in the history books and some of the surrounding small countries, there are no other countries, or there are, and you don't know about it?"

Cang Hao pondered for a moment, then said: "It should be no, if there is, it is impossible for this king not to get any news."

"It seems that this question can only be explored slowly in the future." If there is another chance, she believes that she will find an answer.

"Today, when I showed my sharpness, I frightened those arrogant guys in one fell swoop. Don't take such a risk next time."

Su Mo put down the teacup and looked at him seriously: "I won't take my life lightly as a joke. I will take action because I know what to do. Ziyiqi is indeed very strong, but when they encounter something they don't understand at all, they will be helpless for a while. Next time they figure out the clues, I won't dare to force my way in."

"Besides, even if I get hurt, I will avoid the vital points in time. The injuries look serious, but they are actually just skin wounds."

Before Cang Hao could say anything more, Su Mo cleverly changed the subject: "That ink ice cube, it can't be seen that he is usually cold, but he is quite affectionate."

Cang Hao glanced at her indifferently, understood her thoughts, but didn't say anything more, the two of them were not sensationalists in the first place, and they could just point to a lot of concerns, so he followed her topic and answered: "Something happened a long time ago, which caused Mo Li to feel guilty towards Shu Tong."

"Huh?" Su Mo was rarely interested, "That Mo Bingcube will feel guilty too, it seems that the matter should be quite serious."

Who knows, Cang Hao only said: "This king just said, no matter what, as long as you want to know, you can ask Yue Xiao, he will be your best helper to answer your doubts."

"Miss." Mei Yun and Xue Lian walked in and put their respective trays on the table. Mei Yun said: "This is the porridge that was just cooked in the kitchen. It was Mr. Chu who heard that Miss was injured and ordered it Some precious medicinal materials have been added to the kitchen to replenish the young lady's body."

Su Mo looked at the small pot in front of her, couldn't help raising her brows, and looked at Cang Hao: "This Chu Han thinks I'm a pig?"

Cang Hao said with a smile: "It can be considered that he has a heart."

Mei Yun didn't dare to ask Cang Hao if he wanted to eat together, she silently took out two bowls, put them in front of them, and obediently stepped aside.

Su Mo picked up the exquisite white jade spoon and took a sip: "Well, it tastes good, very fragrant. It's just that the medicinal smell is a bit stronger."

Cang Hao didn't move, just said: "Chu Han's medical skills are good, and he always pays attention to food supplements. The prescriptions he prescribed are warm in nature and won't harm the body, so it doesn't matter if you eat more."

Su Mo looked at the carved white jade bowl in front of him: "You don't want to eat?"

Cang Hao said: "I am not interested in this taste."

Su Mo didn't force himself, after finishing his own bowl, with the spirit of not wasting, he took the bowl in front of him and ate it.

After two bowls of porridge, I was already half full.

Seeing that there was more than half of the porridge left in the pot, Su Mo said: "Yun'er, Xuelian, you two, go and get two more bowls, and get rid of all of these, don't waste it. Miss is full, she has to go out let's go."

Mei Yun and Xue Lian used to be in Jiyue Mountain Villa, and they were considered high-class girls. In addition, Yue Xiao was not strict with her servants, and her food and clothing were not worse than ordinary ladies, but a bowl of precious rice was worth thousands of dollars. Not everyone is qualified to eat medicinal porridge, if it was released before, the two would have tremblingly refused, but now they dare not, knowing that as long as the young lady opens the mouth, it will be the emperor's imperial meal, and they have to eat it obediently.

So, the two obediently blessed themselves and thanked En for accepting orders.
