Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 300 - 298 Kabedon

Chen Mo's face changed, grabbing Zhao Fujin's shoulder. After listening to her story, he knew there were many Close Guards outside Weiyang Palace.

However, in the simulation, there was no such process.

It seems that in tomorrow's simulation, I need to focus my thoughts on Weiyang Palace. If Xiao Yunqi invades the Imperial Palace, it wouldn't be good if Zhao Ji dragged the Empress down with him.

"Junior Brother, you... you're hurting me." Zhao Fujin's brows held a hint of pain, surprised by Chen Mo's strong reaction, she said, "Junior Brother, why are you so concerned about the Empress?"

"Uh..."

Chen Mo released Zhao Fujin's shoulder, then said, "The Empress has shown me great favor. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today, so..."

Chen Mo changed his tone, pinching Zhao Fujin's delicate nose, saying, "Moreover, she's your Empress Mother, so of course I have to care."

"Oh." Zhao Fujin didn't doubt, patting away the hand on her nose, humming, "Don't keep pinching my nose, it'll collapse..."

But Chen Mo was still thinking about Xiao Yunxi, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly said, "The Empress must be in a bad mood these days. If you're free, why don't you stay by her side and accompany her well?"

If Zhao Fujin stays with Xiao Yunxi.

If Zhao Ji really makes a move, Zhao Fujin will definitely stop him.

Besides, he wants to woo the Wu Family, and Zhao Fujin is his biological daughter; he wouldn't possibly harm Zhao Fujin seriously.

Zhao Fujin nodded. Being with Chen Mo made her feel extraordinarily at ease; she wished she were already his wife.

As she was overwhelmed with emotion, Zhao Fujin suddenly broke free from Chen Mo's embrace and stood up.

When Chen Mo was puzzled, she suddenly pushed against his chest, making Chen Mo take two steps back, his back pressing against the wall of Shenxiao Temple. Just as he was about to ask what she wanted to do, Zhao Fujin leaned forward, with her left arm curved and pressed against Chen Mo's chest.

Then she performed an action she had learned from somewhere, right hand fingers pointing at Chen Mo's chest, then gradually moving up along his chest.

Zhao Fujin's figure was tall but half a head shorter than Chen Mo. Her forehead was at Chen Mo's chin level, and when she looked up, her eyes were full of affection for Chen Mo.

As they gazed into each other's eyes, Chen Mo's gaze involuntarily drifted downward. Due to her maturing attire, Zhao Fujin's long dress had a low neckline, and from Chen Mo's top-down angle, he could see a crescent.

There's a cleavage now...

Zhao Fujin obviously noticed, her face turning red, then she bit her lower lip and said, "Do... do you want it?"

Chen Mo honestly nodded.

Zhao Fujin turned her head: "Then come on."

Chen Mo felt his blood boil, then did a 360-degree spin, switching positions with her, pinning Zhao Fujin against the wall in a kabedon position, lowering his head to kiss her.

"Mmm..." Zhao Fujin still had a maiden's shyness, her face blushing like a ripe fruit as Chen Mo kissed her, her jade neck unconsciously tilting upward, as Chen Mo kissed her while his hand was measuring in front of her.

Just when Zhao Fujin was struggling for breath under the kiss, she reached for Chen Mo's hand on her waist side, guiding it to her hip.

Both of their eyes widened at the same time.

They stayed close for a while, then Chen Mo released Zhao Fujin, smiling: "Senior Sister, don't get addicted now, you still have to cultivate, right?"

Zhao Fujin's face was still red and she glared at him, complaining: "Big bad guy."

Chen Mo wiped his nose, seemingly recalling that other women had called him that way before.

...

Deep night.

At the foot of the mountain around Haiqing Lake, deafening drums and gongs suddenly resounded. It annoyed the mountain bandits, who had been tormented by the Song Army all day, into grumbling and cursing.

Are they done or not, can't they rest at night?

Of course, Xu Dabong and company rested, but only in shifts.

Xu Dabong shouted at the top of his lungs: "Keep banging, louder, don't let these bastards inside sleep."

The drum and gong sounds grew louder.

The noise was unbearable for the mountain bandits, who simply covered their ears, planning to endure it.

But just then.

A tremendous uproar erupted from the foot of the mountain, with countless men and horses shouting, the cries of battle shaking heaven and earth.

Scouts reported that the officers and soldiers were charging the mountain again.

Upon hearing this, who would dare rest? They hurriedly grabbed weapons and guarded all the mountaintop pathways to prevent the enemy from coming up.

The officers and soldiers charged halfway, and when the bandits were fully prepared, they found the other side retreating.

The bandits were infuriated.

When they were about to retreat and rest, reports came in that the officers and soldiers were attacking again.

No choice, they could only continue guarding, lest the enemy truly attacked unguarded.

And so, these skirmishes went on all night.

Meanwhile, down the mountain, large pots were set up for cooking.

Xu Dabong, who had just come out of the main tent after resting all night, loudly commanded: "Which battalion's turn is it now, go scare them some more, and after the withdrawal, it's time for breakfast."

"General, it's our turn." A burly man in armor stepped out, with soldiers behind ready for mobilization.

"Second Battalion brothers, charge!"

"Attack, kill."

So, the mountain bandits, having slept poorly at night and haven't eaten in the morning, had to pick up their weapons once more.

From morning until noon, Xu Dabong felt it was enough and sent someone to deliver an offer of conscription again.

And with a threat, he said that if they didn't accept, a final total assault would be launched.

From yesterday till noon today, the bandits were already exhausted. If a fierce attack started, they wouldn't withstand it. Moreover, the reed beds on Haiqing Lake had been burned, their hidden boats either confiscated by the Song Army or destroyed by fire.

They had no escape.

With no options, they accepted conscription and came down the mountain.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Dabong was overjoyed and quickly had someone send his report to the higher-ups as per his plan.

...

Bianliang.

At noon, more bad news spread from the Xiao Mansion. A large number of Imperial Physicians and civilian doctors were summoned into Xiao Mansion, and word spread that the Grand Commandant might not hold on, his breath barely sustained by a thousand-year-old ginseng.

In no time, officials who had long wished for the Xiao Family's collapse couldn't help but cheer.

Submissions for investigating Xiao Yunqi to Your Majesty increased dramatically.

The down-with-the-Xiao campaign was unfolding in Bianliang City.

Some officials who originally had good relations with Chen Mo hurriedly distanced themselves from him.

If Xiao Yunqi fell.

Then Chen Mo, whom he had promoted single-handedly, would naturally follow suit.

... 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

While the outside world was in uproar, Xiao Teng, disguised as a Guard from the Chen Mansion, entered Chen Mo's study, saying the same thing as in the simulation.

Xiao Teng asked Chen Mo to switch the defense of Bianliang by Si time with his people.
