Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue approached the remote tent quietly. His cultivation was so advanced that even without using any special hiding methods, the guards around him could not detect his presence at all.

He moved closer to the tent and listened carefully to the noise inside. The faint crying sounds became clearer and clearer, and every cry seemed to be telling of endless grievances and despair.

He had an idea and decided to take action.

Gently lifting a corner of the tent, he quickly glanced inside and saw a woman huddled in the corner, her eyes filled with tears and her face haggard.

Fang Yue did not hesitate. He quickly and silently entered the tent and came to the woman's side.

"Who are you?" he whispered.

The woman looked up at him, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes, but more of a desire for help.

Fang Yue's sudden appearance made the woman panic, but she quickly calmed down and replied in a trembling voice:
"I... I am the maid of the eldest princess of the Great Chu Dynasty. The eldest princess did not want to marry the Marquis of Guanjun, so we thought of fleeing to the State of Wei, but we did not expect to be captured by the garrison at the border."

The woman's voice was filled with sorrow and despair, and her eyes flashed with a desire for freedom.

Fang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He didn't expect that this woman was actually the maid of the eldest princess of the Great Chu Dynasty, and that their experience was so miserable. However, he also knew that the purpose of his trip was not to save people, but to complete other tasks.

He looked at the woman, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes. He knew he couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise he might get into unnecessary trouble. However, he couldn't ignore the plea for help and desperation in the woman's eyes.

"I...I can't take you away. I can only send you out of the barracks."

Fang Yue's voice was low and firm. He knew he had to rescue Zhu Linlang quickly, but he couldn't just watch this woman continue to suffer. He decided to at least send her out of the barracks and give her a chance to survive.

When the woman heard this, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect that this mysterious man would be willing to take the risk to help her. She held Fang Yue's hand tightly, as if she had grasped the hope of life.

"Thank you, sir. As long as I can leave the military camp, I will find a way to escape." Although the woman's voice was weak, it was full of firm belief.

Fang Yue nodded and said nothing more.

He quickly helped the woman up and took her out of the tent quietly.

His movements were light and agile, and he passed through the military camp like a gust of wind without attracting anyone's attention.

Finally, they successfully reached the edge of the military camp.

Fang Yue stopped and hid the woman in a hidden bush.

"You wait here, I will distract the guards and you can take the opportunity to escape." Fang Yue said in a low voice, with a determined look in his eyes.

The woman looked at Fang Yue gratefully, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration. She knew that this mysterious man had taken a great risk to save her.

"I will never forget the great kindness of my benefactor."

The woman whispered, “If I can regain my freedom one day, I will definitely repay you for saving my life.”

Fang Yue smiled slightly and said nothing more. He turned and left, beginning to divert the guards' attention.

After some twists and turns, he finally succeeded in luring the guards away, and the woman took the opportunity to escape from the barracks.

At the same time, in the city near the military camp, Marquis Guanjun was sitting in a spacious meeting hall, looking gloomily at the three masters who were kneeling on the ground and covered in scars.

These three men were once his right-hand men and were highly skilled in martial arts, but they were easily defeated by Fang Yue of the Wei Dynasty not long ago and fled back in embarrassment.

"Tell me, what's going on?" The Champion Marquis' voice was cold and full of unquestionable majesty.

One of the three masters barely raised his head, a trace of fear and unwillingness flashed in his eyes: "That man... that man has a very high level of cultivation. Even if the three of us join forces, we are still not a match for him. He... he seems to have achieved the status of a Grand Master."

Upon hearing this, a trace of shock and solemnity flashed in Champion Hou's eyes.

Grandmaster is the pinnacle realm in martial arts. Once reached, it means possessing extraordinary strength and status.

He didn't expect that such a strong man would appear in the Wei Dynasty, and he seemed to be related to the Empress of Wei.

"Grand Master..."

Guan Junhou repeated in a low voice, then stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the sky in the distance, "It seems that the water behind this is deeper than I thought."

Champion Marquis was silent for a moment, his thoughts were like a rolling sea of ​​clouds, difficult to calm down. He realized that the appearance of this great master might not be as simple as saving a maid.

Behind this, perhaps there are deeper plans and intentions of the Wei Dynasty.

"It seems that we must capture this Queen of Wei as soon as possible, otherwise our plan will be greatly affected when she joins them!"

The eyes of Marquis Guanjun became cold and resolute. He knew very well that if they could not act quickly and let the grandmaster reunite with the Empress of Wei, their plan would face a huge threat.

He had to get ahead of it and break up this potential alliance.

"Pass my order, and the whole army is ready to go. Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the army to the border of Wei to meet the so-called Queen of Wei."

There was an unquestionable firmness in the voice of the Champion Marquis. He turned and looked at the three masters kneeling on the ground, "As for you, go down and recuperate first. When your injuries are healed, you can follow me to fight again."

The three masters were startled when they heard this. They knew the temper of the Champion Marquis and also understood the severity of the situation at the moment.

They kowtowed to express their gratitude and then left the meeting room.

As the order from Marquis Guanjun was passed down, the entire military camp suddenly became busy, and the soldiers were ready to go, preparing for the upcoming war.

Guan Junhou stood alone in front of the window, staring at the distant sky, thinking about his next move in his mind.

He knew that this battle would determine his fate and the future of the Great Chu Dynasty. He had to go all out and not make any mistakes.

At the same time, he was full of curiosity and expectation about the Grand Master. He wanted to know how powerful the Grand Master was and whether he could become a stumbling block on his way forward.

After leaving the military camp, Fang Yue did not go directly to the border of Wei, but chose to come to a small town on the border of Chu first.

He knew very well that in order to successfully rescue Zhu Linlang and uncover the conspiracy behind it, he must first understand the enemy's movements and layout.

Although this small town is remote, it is close to the border, so merchants and travelers often pass by and the news is relatively well-informed.

Fang Yue found a seemingly ordinary teahouse, which was actually a news distribution center, and quietly sat down.

The teahouse was filled with noise and all kinds of news and rumors were circulating.

Fang Yue pricked up his ears, carefully capturing any information related to the Champion Marquis and the Queen of Wei. He knew very well that key clues were often hidden in this confusing news.

"Have you heard? The Marquis of Guanjun is going to lead his army to the border of Wei to fight against the Empress of Wei!"

A man who looked like a businessman spoke loudly, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, I heard about it too. Marquis Guanjun is the top expert in the Great Chu. If he personally takes action, the Queen of the Great Wei will be in big trouble."

Another person echoed, his words full of admiration and awe for the Champion Marquis.

Fang Yue was moved when he heard this. He did not expect that the Marquis of Guanjun would act so quickly and actually lead his army to the border of Wei in person.

This made him even more worried about Zhu Linlang's safety, and made him realize that he must act as soon as possible, otherwise everything would be too late.

He continued to listen to the news in the teahouse, trying to find more useful clues.

Suddenly, a deep and mysterious voice came into his ears: "I heard that the great master has also appeared, and he seems to be secretly helping the Queen of Wei. If the Champion Marquis can fight him, it will be a fight between dragons and tigers!"

Fang Yue was startled when he heard this.

He knew that this "Grand Master" was most likely referring to himself.

Fang Yue was about to quietly leave the teahouse when suddenly, a man with plain clothes and ordinary face walked up to him quickly and whispered, "Grandmaster Fang, my master wants to tell you important news about the Queen of Wei."

Fang Yue was startled, but then calmed down. He looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention, then whispered, "Lead the way."

The man nodded, turned around and led the way, passing through several narrow alleys and arriving in front of a seemingly ordinary house. The man opened the door and motioned Fang Yue to enter.

Fang Yue walked into the house and saw that the furnishings were simple, but there was an extraordinary atmosphere. A middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe was sitting in the main seat, looking at him with a smile.

"Grand Master Fang, I have long heard of your great name." The middle-aged man bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

Fang Yue nodded slightly, secretly on guard in his heart: "Who are you? What news do you have?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said slowly: "I am a spy of the Great Chu Dynasty, responsible for collecting intelligence from all sides. This time I came to inform Grandmaster Fang that the Champion Marquis has led a large army to the border of the Great Wei Dynasty with the intention of harming the Queen of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, I also learned that the Champion Marquis holds a mysterious treasure in his hand, which is said to greatly enhance the cultivation of warriors. His action this time is to use the power of this treasure to defeat the Queen of Wei in one fell swoop."

Fang Yue frowned slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself. Is what the middle-aged man said true or false? If it is true, then the mysterious treasure in the hands of the Champion Marquis is undoubtedly a huge threat. He must tell Zhu Linlang this news as soon as possible so that she can be prepared.

"Do you know the origin and function of this treasure?" Fang Yue asked in a deep voice, staring at the middle-aged man, trying to catch a hint of lies from his expression.

The middle-aged man shook his head, indicating that he was not aware of the situation. “I don’t know the specific origin and efficacy of this treasure. I just happened to learn about this news from a conversation between some high-level people.”

"Why are you telling me this!" Fang Yue did not believe the other party easily.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Grandmaster Fang, the reason I tell you this is because I believe that you and we have a common enemy, that is, Marquis Guanjun. Moreover, I also know how much of a threat the mysterious treasure in Marquis Guanjun's hands poses to you. I think we may be able to cooperate and fight against Marquis Guanjun together."

When Fang Yue heard this, his heart moved.

He understood that the cooperation that the middle-aged man mentioned was undoubtedly a win-win choice.

Fang Yue stared at the middle-aged man with deep eyes, trying to catch any possible signs of falsehood from his words and expression.

However, the middle-aged man's expression seemed very sincere, without any concealment or deception.

"cooperate?"

Fang Yue repeated in a low voice, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that cooperating with this spy from the Great Chu Dynasty might provide him with more information about Marquis Guanjun and Empress Wei, and might even help him better deal with the impending crisis.

"What exactly do you mean by cooperation?" Fang Yue asked in a deep voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about Fang Yue's defensive mentality. He slowly stood up, walked to Fang Yue's side, and whispered:

“Grandmaster Fang, what I mean by cooperation is to fight against the Champion Marquis together.

I know you have some connection with the Queen of Wei, and I also want to stop the ambitions of the Champion Marquis. We can join forces to expose his conspiracy and protect the safety of the Queen of Wei."

Fang Yue thought to himself after hearing this. He knew that the middle-aged man's proposal was not unreasonable.

The ambition of Marquis Guanjun not only poses a threat to the Empress of Wei, but may also bring disaster to the entire Chu Dynasty.

Moreover, the mysterious treasure in his hand is a huge hidden danger that must be resolved as soon as possible.

"Why should I trust you?"

Fang Yue asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man, trying to catch a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about Fang Yue's questioning. He said slowly:

"Grandmaster Fang, I believe you have your own judgment and insight. You can disbelieve me, but you cannot disbelieve the threat of the Champion Marquis.

Moreover, when I talk about cooperation, I don’t mean that you should trust me completely, but I hope that we can deal with this crisis together.

You can keep your vigilance and alertness, but you can also consider our cooperation. After all, our goal is the same, that is to stop the ambition of Champion Hou. "

Fang Yue nodded secretly when he heard this. He knew that what the middle-aged man said was not without reason.

Moreover, he also understood that he could not fight against Guanjun Hou and the entire Great Chu Dynasty alone. He needed more information and allies to help him.

"Okay, I can consider your proposal."

Fang Yue said in a deep voice, his tone revealing a sense of determination and firmness.

He knew that this battle would determine his fate, as well as the future of the Empress of Wei and the Chu Dynasty.

He must give his all and cannot make any mistakes.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a hint of joy on his face.

He knew that his proposal had been approved by Fang Yue. (End of this chapter)
