Wangshu's voice was cold, but one could still hear a hint of helplessness in it.

She came all the way from Chu and had never appeared in anyone's sight. Unexpectedly, she was bumped into by this small Tongjing realm.

And judging from the way he was following me just now, this shouldn't be the first time I've seen him. How long has he been following me? Has the Qin State received the news?

The more Wangshu thought about it, the more helpless he felt.

"Xiang Liang failed, but Wu Fengdeng survived. If there is another accident during this mission, Master Taiyi will blame me, and I am afraid I will not be able to escape death."

"There must be no mistakes in this matter!"

She then smashed the Black Dragon Rider's body into powder, which disappeared into the air without a trace, and then continued to search in the direction she sensed.

At the same time, in a dark ravine ten miles away, a pair of iron-blue eyes quietly opened, staring at the gradually shrinking figure on the horizon.

After a moment, his eyes moved up and down a little, and then disappeared into the darkness again.

……

Early May.

Wu Mansion, under the shade of lush trees.

Dang~
Yanri pierced into the floor with a crisp sound. After practicing for two hours, Wu Fengdeng finally developed the domineering spear intent again. Five days had passed by then.

"It seems that I still have to fight with strong people to get out of the industry as quickly as possible. Practicing behind closed doors is too inefficient."

Wu Fengdeng felt emotional.

Back then, he and Xiang Yu only fought for one day before he was able to condense both the domineering spear intent and the unparalleled arrow intent. However, now that he was practicing on his own, he had only condensed one.

Of course, there is no danger now, so there are pros and cons.

Soon he felt a handkerchief wiping his forehead. It was Jiang Qiyu wiping the sweat off his face.

"My eyes should be fine now." Wu Fengdeng moved his eyes in the dark and no longer felt any discomfort.

"Okay, then take it off today."

Jiang Qiyu untied his blindfold from the back of his head, and light finally seeped into Wu Fengdeng's eyes. His vision was temporarily blurry, but he could see Jiang Qiyu sticking his head out to observe.

"Yes, it is completely healed."

Not long after, Wu Fengdeng blinked his eyes, and his vision became clear again. His eyes were clear and clean, and even the hidden injuries left by the previous use of Qimen disappeared.

"Pray for rain, thanks to you."

Wu Fengdeng stroked her cheek and smiled warmly.

The side effects of excessive use of Qimen are so serious that it can be seen from the fact that Wei Zhe did not dare to step out of the wooden building.

Therefore, people who are proficient in Qimen often do not have a good ending, and doctors are also helpless. After all, this is a punishment from heaven and there is no cure.

However, Jiang Qiyu had indeed eliminated all of Wu Fengdeng's hidden dangers, which was unique in the Shenzhou continent. This was also one of the reasons why Wu Fengdeng had to appear with her all the time.

With the two of them together, their ability to survive has been greatly enhanced. Now even those at the Zhenwu realm cannot easily wipe them out. Looking across the Shenzhou continent, there are really few people who can crush the two of them.

This is the real success!

Afterwards, Qingdai and other maids brought lunch and fresh seasonal vegetables, and placed them on the stone table under the tree. They ate at the table, feeling the breeze, which was really comfortable.

However, Wu Fengdeng did not completely give up and sent someone to find Li Qun.

"General Wu, the situation in Chu is going smoothly. General Wang Jian has already attacked the gorge less than a hundred miles away from Yingchun County. General Li Xin is leading his troops to clean up the surrounding area. Everything is going well now."

"General Qiao Zhanbo of our army played a significant role in this battle. Thanks to your guidance and training, General Wu, the 30,000 city defense troops performed very well, and only lost more than 2,000 soldiers so far."

"As for the Chu State, the Xiang and Ma families have joined forces, but they are still losing ground. To sum up, if everything goes well, it is estimated that the war will be over by the end of the month and Chu will be destroyed!"

Li Qun gave a brief report on the recent battle situation, and Wu Fengdeng nodded slightly upon hearing it.

The State of Chu was slightly different from other countries. The real elite were all controlled by the royal family, the Xiang family, and the Ma family.

When Wu Fengdeng participated in the battle before, he killed the genius Ma Quan of the Ma family in one breath and seriously injured Xiang Yu, causing him to lose his fighting power in this battle. This was an extremely heavy blow to both families.

Even if they put aside their past grudges and joined forces at this time, they would not be able to stop the attack of Wang Jian's army. If nothing unexpected happened, the outcome of this battle would have been determined since he seriously injured Xiang Yu.

Wu Fengdeng then said, "Okay, you can go back. I won't be in Xianyang for the next few days, so you will still be in charge of the military affairs."

"Yes!"

Li Qun agreed.

"By the way, you are now in the late stage of Tuo Dan, have you shown any signs of a breakthrough recently?"

Li Qun smiled bitterly: "I am ashamed to say that I have been staying here for a long time, but the elixir has not shown any signs of solidifying. Maybe... I have to stop here."

On the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as hard work to make up for lack of talent. One is limited to where one's natural talent is. If one is stuck in one place for a long time with no signs of a breakthrough, then that means that is the limit of one's talent.

But Li Qun is still young and should still have a chance.

Wu Fengdeng said calmly, "There are three Soul Gathering Pills in the king's reward. You can go with the butler to get them later. You can use one and keep the remaining two. The other deputy generals will be rewarded with one if they can break through to the late stage of Tuo Dan first."

His current cultivation goal is to break through to the Zhenwu realm, so these three Soul Gathering Pills are no longer useful to him. Their greatest value is to create three subordinates in the Cangqi realm for himself.

After all, Qiao Zhanbo is the only one in his army who is at the Qi Concealment Realm, especially in the Fire Armor Army, there is no one else. It is not a good thing to have such a serious gap in strength.

Li Qun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, General, for your grace!"

"Back off."

"Here!"

After he left, Jiang Qiyu, who had been eating silently beside him, finally spoke: "Brother Fengdeng, your realm is now stable, should you also consider taking the Infant Transformation Pill?"

Wu Fengdeng waved his hand and explained, "Keep it for now. It will take at least ten days or half a month to digest it. It's too long. We have to rush to Weiguo after dinner. We have wasted so many days. If we don't go now, it will be too late."

"Besides, the Infant Transformation Pill cannot directly help me break through to the True Martial Realm. It can only play a supporting role. It is most appropriate to take it when I am about to make a breakthrough in my cultivation in the future."

This kind of elixir is most effective when used to break through a realm, but the initial stage of cultivation still needs to be done by oneself.

After finishing his meal, he and Jiang Qiyu flew up and headed straight towards Wei State.

……

From noon to evening, when night fell, a county town of neither size appeared in their eyes.

It is still as quaint and ancient as I remembered, with mottled walls, loose guards, and even the stone lion with a missing tooth.

It was as if they had returned to the day when the two of them wandered here. At that time, they were hungry and cold. It was the first time they saw such a high wall and so many people, and they were full of awe.

And now, this small county town can be destroyed in the blink of an eye for them.

"I'm back again." Jiang Qiyu's eyes were soft and full of emotion.

Wu Fengdeng said slowly, "It's been two years, and it looks like nothing has changed here. I wonder if Lao Hu and the others are still here. Let's go to the military camp first."

"Uh-huh."

Because the news from the Black Dragon Riders suddenly stopped a few days ago, Wu Fengdeng guessed that he might have been discovered by Wangshu. After all, she was in the True Martial Realm, and if she followed too closely, she would inevitably be discovered. In this way, Wu Fengdeng lost track of Wangshu and could only focus on the matter she was concerned about.

But he knew nothing about the situation here, so he had to inquire about the local news. Otherwise, he would be running around like a headless fly and it would be strange if he could find any trace.

In order not to attract attention, Wu Fengdeng simply stuffed a few coins into the hands of the guard at the gate, successfully entered the city, and then walked towards the direction of the military camp.

At this time, night was approaching and most of the shops and stalls on the street were closed. Only a few candles were lit, and it was very lonely.

However, when Wu Fengdeng arrived at the former border army camp, he was stunned.

The camp in front of me was dark, and the familiar wooden door and tent outlines were hidden in the night. There was no light at all, let alone life.

"Have the border troops here withdrawn?"

Wu Fengdeng frowned slightly. The Black Dragon Riders did not point this out in the intelligence.

It should be that the border troops withdrew before the Black Dragon Riders arrived, so they did not attract his attention.

And looking at the weeds growing everywhere, it looks quite desolate, and it must have been vacated a long time ago.

"Brother Fengdeng, there is no one here... How about we go to the Liu family compound to ask? Or go directly to the county government office." Jiang Qiyu said.

They didn't have many acquaintances in Guyang County. The only places they were familiar with were the Liu family where Jiang Qiyu had worked before and the county government office. If they wanted to get some information, these two places were relatively suitable.

However, Wu Fengdeng remembered another place.

In the center of Guyang County, there is a large courtyard with high walls.

Joe's house.

This landlord family, which was once famous in Guyang County, now looks very dilapidated.

The walls were covered with moss, and only half of the plaque at the door remained, with the faded word "Qiao" remaining and covered with cobwebs. If it weren't for the faint flickering candlelight in the yard, one would definitely think this was a dead house.

"Official!"

A shrill scream rose from the yard. It was a thin and haggard woman who was being forcibly dragged by a big hand holding her wrist tightly.

"Qiao Li, if you can't come up with the money today, I'm going to take this woman to the mountain to be my wife!"

The one who spoke was a big man with a face full of flesh, naked upper body, and a scar running diagonally across his face, which looked hideous. He simply threw the woman aside, and the three or four remaining bandits in the yard surrounded her with a grin.

"Little lady~"

"Look at this little face, it's so pretty!"

"Yo yo yo, look at this belly, is she pregnant? I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"

"Why don't you cut it open and take a look? I bet it's a girl!"

"Hahaha, you are crazy about women!"

The obscene words spoken by these vicious bandits frightened the woman so much that she turned pale and kept begging for mercy and crying.

Pfft!
In front of the scarred man, Qiao Li, with a weathered face, knelt down heavily and begged, "Brother Hu! I really took out all my money, and now there is not a penny left at home!"

"Please let my wife go. If you have anything, come to me. Please..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly, and soon his forehead was broken. However, this did not win Brother Hu's sympathy and forgiveness. He picked up the big knife in his hand and slapped Qiao Li on the face.

Then he sneered, "Master Qiao, your Qiao family once had so much land, how could you only have a dozen taels of silver?"

"I don't have much patience. I'll give you ten seconds. If you're still hiding, I'll kill your wife right here!"

Qiao Li's face was extremely ugly, and he cried: "Brother Hu, I am telling the truth. If my family still had money, why would Lao Hu attack you just now?"

As he spoke, he pointed at Old Hu who was leaning against the doorpost. At this moment, he had a big knife stuck in his shoulder and was breathing weakly, and it was obvious that he would not live long.

Brother Tiger snorted coldly: "Oh, you are just looking for death."

"You have five breaths left."

"Brother Tiger, Brother Tiger, our family is really out of money!"

"Four breaths."

"I beg you..."

Bang bang bang!
Qiao Li's face was filled with tears, and the sound of his kowtow was so heavy that it made one's scalp tingle just by listening to it.

However, Brother Hu was still as ferocious as ever, looking down on him coldly.

"Could it be that the Qiao family is really out of money? Look at how dilapidated the yard is. It seems that the Qiao family was heavily implicated in the last incident."

"Damn it, I finally waited for those officials to go out on a field trip, hoping to make a fortune, but I didn't expect to find only this much!"

The more Brother Hu thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at the trembling Qiao Li in front of him, he became even more furious. He swung his sword and was about to chop him down.

"Then let your Qiao family be extinct!"

Swish!
Suddenly, the big knife was stopped in the air, as if there was an invisible wall blocking it. No matter how hard Brother Hu tried, he couldn't push it down.

hiss~
Strange things!

The flesh on Brother Hu's face trembled, and he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"It seems that now that the border troops are gone, you bandits are really lawless."

A cold voice came from behind him. Brother Hu turned his head subconsciously and saw two figures standing at the door. The man was in a red shirt and had an upright posture, while the woman was dressed simply and elegantly. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

What’s more crucial is that with his own cultivation level at the Tongjing realm, he couldn’t even feel the Qi and blood levels of these two people!

Master!

Brother Hu frowned tightly and said, "Who are you? This is the business of my Black Tiger Village. It has nothing to do with you. Please don't meddle in other people's business."

"Of course, if you are satisfied, all this money is yours."

After saying that, he threw out a money bag and looked at Wu Fengdeng nervously.

"Save it for hell."

As soon as these words were spoken, Brother Hu's face changed drastically. At the same time, Qiao Li, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to react and raised his face covered in blood and tears.

The young man in red at the door looked very familiar. It was... Boss Wu Fengdeng!

His pupils trembled violently and his breathing stagnated.

"Humph, you are so young and yet you are still so arrogant. I, Tiger, will test your strength! Brothers, go ahead!"

Brother Hu spat fiercely and waved his hand. The younger brothers behind him took out their swords and rushed forward shouting, while he himself quietly retreated.

"Another young lady!"

"This one is so handsome!"

"Hey, it's mine, hey, hey, hey!" (End of this chapter)
