On the one hand, Shen Mo protected Xiangyang for them, causing the gates of the entire Jiangnan area to close, which ensured the security of the entire Song Dynasty.

On the other hand, the rapid growth of Shen Mo's power also made them feel more and more uneasy.

So when they heard that Shen Mo led his army to the Northern Expedition, the court officials were hoping that Shen Mo would die in their hearts, and that the majority of the people who were defeated by the Mongolian army were afraid that they would still account for.

This is the deepest sorrow of a person who is good at using conspiracies but does not have the ability.

They knew that they were unable to fight against Shen Mo, so they hoped that Temujin's army on the grassland could severely damage Shen Mo's Northern Expedition Army.

After they thought that Shen Mo's army's strength was greatly reduced, he must have become much more honest! So these people burned incense and worshiped Buddha and hoped that Shen Mo would be defeated on the road to the Northern Expedition, but no one expected that Shen Mo's current territory and people were thrown to the Liao and Jin Kingdom because of the incompetence of the Song Dynasty.

Now they only have one thought in their minds. It would be better if Shen Mo's Northern Expedition this time, even himself would not be allowed to return home! However, the Emperor Zhao and Rui of the Song Dynasty were looking forward to it, waiting for Shen Mo to make another great achievements, and return with great praise!... At this time, there were many people who knew the inside story within the Tongzhou army and were not worried about this war.

Just like Marshal Jiang Yuxin and Navy General Shi Baoying, they had long known how long the commander had prepared for this war.

Therefore, with Shen Mo's careful planning and preparation, this battle will never be as dangerous as Lin'an court officials expected, nor will it be as unpredictable as those who did not know the truth expected.

In the memories of Shi Baoying and others, they were already used to watching the commander create miracles, so they felt that there was almost nothing in the world that could stump Shen Mo!... At this moment, Ling Xiaozi, the boss of Mowen Trading Company, also walked out of the mansion.

Since this Taoist Master Ling Xiaozi has been to America once, he has experienced countless struggles and hardships between life and death overseas, and since then his mind has been sublimated.

In addition, he is now in charge of the operation of such a large trading company, so although Ling Xiaozi now seems to be as funny as before, he is not serious.

But in fact, he is open-minded and has long been different from what he used to be.

However, despite this, the old Taoist still had many problems before... The totem pole he bypassed when he walked out of the mansion was the most typical example.

This totem pole was given to him by Shen Mo's orders. It was a copy of the totem pole he carried back from America before.

Although the pattern on it is exactly the same, the size of this pillar is three times larger than the original wood.

Originally, people who received this kind of thing would usually deal with it in a low-key manner, but after Ling Xiaozi's sarcastic spirit came up, he still stood it in front of his door with a slut.

Now this thing is like a watch, standing in front of Ling Xiaozi's open mansion, becoming a symbol of his honor and merit.

...When Ling Xiaozi went out today, he was a little different from usual. He did not ride in a carriage, nor did he bring his bodyguards or entourage.

Instead, the light che Jian left his mansion and left like a walk with his hands behind his back.

But as soon as he left, he walked two or three miles away in Tongzhou City.
