Su Mo Courts Death, Captain Is Stunned

The more Su Mo understood about the Heavenly Mother Cult, the more he realized how terrifying it was!

It wasn't an ordinary heretical cult; it was a super heretical cult with the ultimate goal of overthrowing Great Wu and restoring Bao Gan!

Its severity was even greater than the conflict between imperial power and divine authority in the court!

Su Mo wasn't a reckless fool.

He wouldn't foolishly get involved for the sake of a mere Squad Leader position of the seventh rank!

If it weren't absolutely necessary, Su Mo would rather abandon the mission than get entangled in it.

The most crucial point was...

Su Mo couldn't explain how he knew the Heavenly Mother Cult members were hiding in Dragon Gate Cave!

He could explain the Golden Lock using Lin Moyin's aura.

But how could he justify knowing about Dragon Gate Cave with such a reason?

Su Mo was about to shake his head and say he didn't know where the Heavenly Mother Cult members were either!

Unfortunately, Lin Moyin was no ordinary person and had already keenly caught the subtle change in Su Mo's expression.

Her voice suddenly deepened: "You actually know where the Heavenly Mother Cult members are hiding!"

"Speak!"

"Where are the Heavenly Mother Cult members!"

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat!

Damn it!

He was still too inexperienced to hide his emotions!

Su Mo felt an incredibly terrifying killing intent envelop him. The temperature in the vicinity instantly dropped to freezing, several times more terrifying than before!

He took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly.

"Captain, you are truly formidable; nothing escapes your eyes!"

"That's right!"

"I have indeed guessed the most likely hiding place for the Heavenly Mother Cult members."

Su Mo looked up, meeting Lin Moyin's blade-like gaze without fear: "I can tell you, Captain!"

"However..."

He changed his tone: "Captain, you must agree to two requests of mine!"

Lin Moyin's pretty face flickered in the swaying lamplight, casting an unspeakably sinister and terrifying shadow!

Her voice sounded as if it came from a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave: "My requests?"

"You are negotiating terms with me?"

"Do you know the last person who did this was executed by slow slicing with three thousand cuts?"

Su Mo's back was completely soaked in sweat!

But he took a deep breath, looked steadily at Lin Moyin, his eyes filled with determination and resolve, his lips tightly shut, not saying a word!

Lin Moyin let out a cold snort.

With a wave of her fair hand, her jade finger shot down like lightning towards Su Mo's eyes!

Su Mo closed his eyes.

But his feet remained rooted to the ground, unmoving!

As expected, he only felt a sting on his eyelids; his eyes weren't pierced by her jade finger as he had imagined!

Su Mo opened his eyes.

Lin Moyin had appeared before him at some unknown time.

Her two fingers, with sharp fingernails, were almost touching his eyeballs.

Although her fingers blocked his vision, he could feel it!

Lin Moyin withdrew her jade fingers and studied Su Mo expressionlessly for a long time.

She had to admit, this greedy and lecherous fellow did have some courage!

She snorted coldly: "Even if I agree to your terms..."

"Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Su Mo keenly noticed that the favorability progress bar above Lin Moyin's head flickered.

It had actually turned from negative to positive, jumping directly from -4% to 8%!

He breathed a sigh of relief!

His gamble paid off!

Su Mo looked at Lin Moyin very seriously and sincerely: "This subordinate trusts the Captain's character."

The Female Captain was silent for a moment.

Then, she smiled.

Her face, which had seemed sinister and terrifying under the lamplight, transformed into a smile of unparalleled beauty.

"Amusing!"

"This official has never heard anyone say they trust the character of the Imperial Guard before!"

Lin Moyin watched Su Mo with great interest: "This official is curious, what are your demands?"

Su Mo raised one finger: "Do not ask how your subordinate obtained this information!"

He raised a second finger: "Second, Captain, you must keep this a secret for your subordinate!"

"Because your subordinate fears death, the kind that fears death greatly, truly, I'm not lying to you, Captain!"

Lin Moyin sneered: "Fear death?"

"You didn't seem like you feared death earlier!"

Su Mo tried his best to explain: "Because your subordinate knows, your subordinate has no other choice!"

"Death is the outcome either way, might as well take a gamble!"

He paused, then sighed: "Or perhaps I was so terrified my legs went weak, and I couldn't avoid it even if I wanted to."

Lin Moyin smiled again: "Craven, greedy for wealth, and lustful!"

"People like this are usually easier to control."

"Furthermore, you seem quite useful, possessing courage and decisiveness. This official truly can't bear to kill you just like that!"

She paused slightly: "This official can agree to your demands!"

"Can you tell me now?"

"Where are the Heavenly Mother Cultists hiding?"

Su Mo glanced around: "Here?"

Lin Moyin sneered: "Don't worry, no one else can hear."

"Even those three women of yours have long since fallen asleep!"

Su Mo stiffened again.

Given the Imperial Guard's methods, it was normal for Xue Yishu and Heroine Chen to have been knocked unconscious by the Female Captain.

The problem was, Qin Bi'er had been with him the entire time.

When he had come out to see Lin Moyin, he hadn't seen her make any moves.

How had she managed to knock Qin Bi'er out too!

Su Mo exhaled and lowered his voice: "Taihe County, Dragon Gate Cave!"

"Go to Dragon Gate Cave within six days, and you will surely find something."

"However, the heretical cultists hiding in Dragon Gate Cave may not be easy to deal with, so you must be careful, Captain!"

As soon as Su Mo said this.

A bolt of lightning flashed through Lin Moyin's mind.

Many questions that had been bothering her were finally answered!

Luring the tiger away from its mountain!

Confusing the enemy's vision!

Not all counties have Imperial Guard stations.

And not all Imperial Guard stations are as well-staffed as Changping County's hundreds of men!

Taihe County does not have an Imperial Guard station!

Once the Imperial Guard focused their attention on Tieshan and Anyang counties, their vigilance elsewhere would surely falter!

Lin Moyin realized she had been mistaken from the beginning.

The primary targets for monitoring were the City God Temples and Dragon King Temples in each county!

It wasn't just the Dragon King Temples that had Dragon King statues!

Dragon Gate Cave also had a Dragon King statue!

In that instant.

Lin Moyin had already determined that Su Mo's words were likely true!

Knowing the Heavenly Mother Cult's true objective and having six days to act, Lin Moyin naturally would not act rashly.

She needed to plan carefully, make thorough deployments, and use his plan against him to capture all the Heavenly Mother Cultists in the surrounding prefectures and counties in one fell swoop!

With this thought, Lin Moyin gave Su Mo a deep look: "Stay put in the residence!"

"Await this official's orders!"

After speaking, she turned and left.

Su Mo panicked and quickly called out to her, "Captain, please wait a moment!"

Lin Moyin turned to look at Su Mo, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Is there something else?"

"It's like this."

Su Mo explained, "Your subordinate is an Imperial Guard Dark Guard, and also a yamen runner."

"There are only two days left of my leave. After my leave, I have to go on duty at the yamen."

After a slight hesitation, Su Mo added, "Also, your subordinate doesn't quite understand something."

"Many people probably already know about my Dark Guard identity. Is it appropriate to continue like this?"

"Could you, Captain, change my identity for me? For example, to a Black-Clothed Colonel?"

Lin Moyin couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "You have quite the nerve!"

"You've only been a Strongman for a day, and you already want to be promoted to Colonel?"

Su Mo chuckled, waiting for Lin Moyin to continue.

However, the Female Captain stopped talking. She just stood there, looking at him with a cold smile, not leaving. He had no idea what she was thinking.

Su Mo...

Fortunately, his favorability hadn't changed.

This gave him the courage to continue his reckless probing, "It's fine if the Colonel promotion is delayed for now."

"But your subordinate is new to the Dark Guard and doesn't know the regulations. What if I accidentally break some taboos? What should I do?"

The Female Captain was silent for a moment, then tossed a small booklet to Su Mo, coldly leaving him with a sentence, "You can go on duty at the yamen!"

Then she turned and left!

Su Mo hurriedly called out to the Female Captain, "Captain, please wait a moment longer!"

The Female Captain stopped, her pretty face darkening. She emphasized her words, enunciating each syllable, "Is there anything else!"

But as long as the favorability above his head didn't change.

Su Mo wouldn't be scared!

Su Mo swallowed his saliva, "Captain, this... this..."

"Your subordinate is a bit short on cash lately. I don't know how much the Dark Guard's monthly salary is, and where to collect it?"

It was fine if he didn't get a promotion.

At least his salary should be increased!

He couldn't just work for the Imperial Guard for free!

This was the last bit of stubbornness and bottom line of a working dog!

Lin Moyin was instantly so angry that her teeth gnashed, and she squeezed out a few words through her teeth, "The Strongman's monthly salary is three taels, with two taels actually paid. You collect it at the garrison at the end of the month!"

Su Mo was dumbfounded, "What? Only three taels a month? Even a Fast Hand gets two taels!"

"Also, why is only two taels actually paid?"

Lin Moyin's pretty face was like frost, her phoenix eyes filled with anger. She took a deep breath and cleanly uttered a single word: "Scram!"

The usually aloof Female Captain, who rarely showed her emotions.

Was finally broken through by this scoundrel Su Mo!
