Chapter 379 Do you want to get in the car? (8.4k total chapters, please subscribe)

Lotus Village, Shengzhou
The Chu family, along with two hundred guards and eight hundred servants, totaling more than a thousand people, formed a long convoy along the official road and set off towards Tianjing in a mighty manner.

It is noon now and the autumn heat is even more severe than expected.

The convoy set up camp in the nearby Lotus Village, and the eight hundred servants got busy purchasing large amounts of food from the village to prepare a sumptuous lunch for the soldiers.

Some people may wonder why there are eight hundred servants.

Because the guards accompanying them were at least warriors who had reached the great perfection of the Yuantai realm, and there were many warriors in the Yuandan realm.

They are the elite of the Chu family and the elite among the nobles of Longzhou, and they need someone to take care of them.

Every guard is considered a knight and a top-level fighter for the rich and powerful. It is impossible for them to be like soldiers who just want to have food to eat.

Their three meals must include meat, eggs, soup, wine, fruit, etc.

A casual meal for these guards is better than that of the middle peasants who own dozens of acres of land.

For example, Lin Bufan, a servant of the Chu family, is a humble servant in front of Chu Wujiang, but in front of other servants, he is a superior master.

In order to take care of Mr. Lin, the servants brought a roast chicken, a plate of Dongpo pork, a bowl of fresh seasonal vegetables, and two bowls of freshly steamed white rice.

Lin Bufan took two bites of roast chicken and two mouthfuls of rice, frowned, and scolded:
"Go, tell the cook that today's roast chicken doesn't have enough honey, so it doesn't taste good."

"If there is no honey, bring some more sugar and pepper."

The servant quickly agreed:
"Yes, sir!"

Lin Bufan hurriedly called out:
"Wait, fry two more pieces of beef and bring two more pears."

"And this rice needs to be eaten with chicken soup!"

"Next time I will use chicken fat to steam the rice. It will be more fragrant."

The servant shouted:

"Yes, sir!"

It is these servants who have high demands. They not only want to eat a lot, but also want to eat well, so they need a large number of servants to take care of them.

After all, if soldiers don’t eat well, they will easily rebel.

The Jingyuan Rebellion during the Tang Dynasty was triggered by the poor food provided by the court, which aroused the anger of the soldiers.

Chu Wujiang knew this very well and would not treat the Chu family's diehards unfairly. Along the way, the logistics officers purchased the best local food for the convoy to provide for the warriors.

All the chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep along the way were bought out.

The villagers of Lianhua Village were initially worried that these warriors would be unreasonable and force people to buy and sell things, but they did not expect the Chu family army to be so generous and spend large sums of money.

Some villagers were reluctant to sell the old hens that laid eggs, but now they took the initiative to slaughter them and send them to the military commander, and received a small sum of money in return.

The head of Lianhua Village even took the initiative to bring a working ox and asked hurriedly:

"Master, do you still want this old ox?"

The logistics officer waved his hand and said:

"Privately slaughtering a working ox will result in a hundred strokes of the cane, so it is better not to do so."

Village Chief Lianhua shouted quickly:

"Don't worry, sir. All these oxen fell to their death."

"what?"

"Our village is dedicated to raising oxen to receive merchants, and many of them die every year!"

The logistics officer doesn't really care about the law of destiny:

"Then let it fall to death."

"One head is calculated as 30 taels."

The head of Lotus Village was overjoyed:

"Thank you, Master."

So there was more beef on the table today, making the Chu family guards even happier.

The people of Lotus Village became rich, and the guards ate happily. Except for the Chu family's wallet being damaged, it was a rare close relationship between the military and the people.

The only one who secretly followed the convoy and hid in Lotus Village to observe was the Xuanyuan Sect's guardian Zhao Tiexin, who gnashed his teeth and cursed:

[These bastards eat better than the landlords.]

[If it wasn't a festival, who would eat such delicious food? ]

[Master, what else is there to investigate? The Chu family army must be full of vampires. That Guanjun Hou is undoubtedly a corrupt official. They should all be hanged!]

【Oh shit! 】

Zhao Tiexin was smelling the aroma of the food while communicating with his companion Cui Ning.

He was originally a villager of Lianhua Village, and this time he was sent by Master Zhang to investigate the situation of the Chu Family Army.

Is there any forced buying or selling, or bullying of men and women?

Although Zhang Daocheng accepted the old immortal's instructions, he would not obey blindly, but would see for himself.

Cui Ning, while working for the villagers, retorted:

【Be determined, don’t be careless! 】

[This Chu family army trades fairly, and the price is a bit high. 】

[Normally, an old yellow ox costs 200 coins per catty. This old yellow ox weighs about 20 catties, so it would normally sell for 30 taels. But they are willing to spend taels to buy it, so the villagers still make a profit.]

Zhao Tiexin said unhappily:
[Even though he is so rich, it is still the blood and sweat of the people! ]

[They all deserve to be killed! ]

Cui Ning was speechless for a moment and could only advise:

[We are only responsible for the investigation, you must not act impulsively. ]

The two guardians of Xuanyuan Sect were in a heated discussion. Lin Bufan's servants had already brought sugar and pepper.

Lin Bufan pulled off a chicken leg with satisfaction, dipped it in sugar and pepper, and bit off the plump chicken leg meat, letting the juice overflow and the aroma fill his nose.

Another servant saw the juice spilling and quickly took a napkin to wipe it for the master.

Zhao Tiexin's eyes widened.

[Cui Ning, look at all these servants. Every one of them is a master! ]

[That's a case of extravagance and debauchery, there's no way around it. ]

[Can there be good people in the Chu family army? Can they be good people? 】

Cui Ning advised:

【Okay, work with peace of mind. 】

[Lest anyone discover anything, there aren't that many servants here, you don't know the Cui family.]

Zhao Tiexin cursed:

[I know you have seen the world, you were born a young master.]

Cui Ning could only sigh:
[I am not the young master of this family. I just met you by chance.]

While Zhao Tiexin was working, he cursed in his heart:

[I should have prepared some croton seeds earlier, so you guys wouldn't die from eating them! ]

[You are grown men, but you need so many servants to take care of you. You have no hands or feet! ]

[Taiqing Xuanyuan, please send down thunder to kill these bastards.]

After all, the main force of the Chu family army is the servants, who are essentially knights.

They travel long distances, so they inevitably need a large number of servants to take care of their daily lives.

Normally, a knight would have at least two squires to take care of his daily life and ensure that his combat effectiveness was in perfect condition in order to deal with emergencies.

So there were 400 servants.

What about the other 400 servants?

The servants are all taken care of by two servants. As Chu Wujiang is one of the most powerful nobles in the empire and a local lord, his status is naturally even more exaggerated.

These remaining 400 servants were, of course, his exclusive servants.

There are cooks, gardeners, maids, clerks, butlers, etc., which is equivalent to a complete team of a noble family, enough to rebuild a new Chu Mansion.

I don’t know when I will return from this trip to Tianjing.

The Chu family must bring all the people with them to make it easier for them to take root.

"More importantly, according to regulations, foreign ministers entering the capital can bring no more than fifty guards."

"If you report it as a servant, it will be in accordance with the court law."

"They are servants in name, but in reality they are reserve servants. Each of them has the cultivation of great body forging, which makes it convenient for them to form a military formation."

"Once there is any disturbance, these 1,000 people can form a military formation in an instant, which is no less powerful than the Yuanling Realm."

Lu Ce, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion, explained to everyone.

This time when he went to Beijing, Chu Wujiang not only brought his own guards, but also the sons and daughters of the Longzhou nobles.

For example, Huo Qiushui's younger brother Huo Wenxuan, when he heard Lu Ce's flattery, he put down his chopsticks and said proudly:
"The soldiers trained by my sister are naturally first-rate and powerful!"

"Even compared to the Tianyou Army, it's not bad!"

"Brother Hong, don't you think so?"

The servants were taking a lunch break and enjoying delicious food, and Lu Ce, Hong Tao and others who were accompanying them were no exception.

Their table was piled with all kinds of delicious dishes, including steamed sea bass, Dongpo pork, Buddha jumps over the wall, etc. They had prepared a banquet.

Hong Tao was enjoying steamed sea bass, and he smiled when he heard this:

"That's natural."

"The current Chu family army is a first-class strong army. Even the Zhenhai Army and Taodu Guard are far inferior to it."

"As for the Tianyou Army, I have never seen it, but I think it is not much different!"

Bah, you bootlicker.

Lu Ce cursed inwardly.

After all, no matter how strong the Chu family army is, it is still far behind the Tianyou Army and the Tianming Army, the first and second strongest armies in the world. Even the Tiance Army and the Tianxiong Army may not be able to compare with them.

The Tianming Dynasty had six field armies, each named after the word "Tian". Each of them suppressed one side and maintained the order of the dynasty.

Once the six field armies are damaged, even if the court has a large number of Yuanshen masters, they will be exhausted.

But Huo Wenxuan didn't care about that. He heard Hong Tao's flattery and said happily:
"Brother Hong is indeed knowledgeable!"

"Here, have a drink."

Hong Tao could not help but refuse:
"It is not appropriate to drink alcohol while on the march, especially since you and I have just recovered from a serious illness."

"After arriving in Tianjing in a few days, I will go to Wudao Pavilion to study!"

Up to now in the war between the mermaids, Hong Tao, Huo Wenxuan and others were all seriously injured and barely managed to escape death.

Hong Tao didn't drink a single drop of alcohol, but Huo Wenxuan seemed much more dissolute. He didn't care about his injuries and drank when he was needed. He went out to drink wine as soon as he recovered from his illness, and was caught by Shunyi Bo and beaten while being hung up.

Huo Wenxuan could only look at Lu Ce helplessly. Lu Ce raised his teacup and smiled gently:
"Brother Huo, I only drink tea, not wine."

Huo Wenxuan had no choice but to look at the last person at the table, the eldest daughter of the Weiyuan Earl’s family—Shang Lulu.

Shang Lulu was still young, just over sixteen years old, with delicate features and black hair, which she often tied up halfway and fixed with a silver hair crown.

Now she is dressed as a man and looks like an elegant young man.

She was traveling on behalf of a business, and when she saw Huo Wenxuan wanted to drink, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed:
"My little sister only drinks tea."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Shang Lulu quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, Master Huo just said that the Chu family army is the strongest army in the world. I don't quite understand what you mean."

Shang Lulu did not receive strict military training like Huo Qiushui, so she naturally could not understand the layout of the Chu family army. Lu Ce smiled and said:

“Miss Shang, look at these soldiers eating in batches, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, with their auras connected, divided into three inner layers and three outer layers, and the soldiers never take off their armor.”

"If an enemy attacks, they can quickly assemble and form a cascade defense."

Lu Ce didn't finish his words. He glanced at Huo Wenxuan, who drank a glass of fine wine and continued to explain:
"What's even scarier is that these soldiers are very relaxed."

Except for Shang Lulu, the other three are sons of military families and can tell whether the soldiers are good or bad.

Shang Lulu asked in confusion:

"easy?"

Huo Wenxuan smiled and said:
"The Art of War says: Those who have thunder in their chests but a calm face can be made generals!"

“These soldiers clearly have tigers in their hearts, but they are content and enjoy life, and they don’t waste their energy in fear.”

"Only when you enter a combat state can you see the tiger and wolf side, so it is naturally the best choice."

After several rounds of battles, with the reward of the revival of the dragon veins, the Chu family army suddenly became strong and powerful. With Huo Qiu Shui's training, it was enough to become one of the strong armies.

Shang Lulu suddenly realized:

"I see."

"Thank you, Brother Lu and Brother Huo, for your guidance."

Lu Ce pointed at the dining table and said with a smile:

"You're welcome. Eat your food, eat your food."

"The food is getting cold. The young marquis ordered the butler to run fifty miles to Yuelai Restaurant to order it."

Shang Lulu shook her head and said:

"No, I'm full."

"It's just that my little sister has a question."

"Just now, Brother Lu said that the court would only allow 50 guards to enter the capital, but now it is clearly 200."

The maximum number of foreign officials allowed to enter the capital was fifty, and Chu Wujiang had exceeded the limit.

Why didn't anyone persuade him?

Now Lu Ce and Huo Wenxuan both laughed.

"Brother Hong, please tell me."

Lu Ce and Huo Wenxuan winked at each other, so Hong Tao had to put down his chopsticks and explained:

"Miss Shang misunderstood. This time, in addition to the Chu family, there are four of us going to Beijing together."

"For example, the Huo family has fifty, the Lu family has fifty, and the Hong family has fifty."

"If you add them together, there will be two hundred of them."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder everyone is acting together.

Marquis Jingping and Marquis Zhenhai stayed behind in Longzhou, while the younger generation went to the capital to receive rewards and also claim awards from the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Shang Lulu's face turned slightly red. She didn't even understand this little thing, so she quickly changed the subject:

“Then why are there no merchants?”

"Your Majesty can definitely bring 250 guards."

The three of them couldn't help laughing.

Huo Wenxuan said directly:

"Because the Marquis is my brother-in-law, and also Brother Lu's brother-in-law, and, ahem..."

Hong Tao quickly winked at him, and Huo Wenxuan covered his mouth and laughed softly:
"In short, everything depends on how Miss Shang performs."

“Next time maybe it will be 250.”

What does play mean?
Shang Lulu was slightly stunned, and then her cheeks quickly turned red. The blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, and even her snow-white neck was stained with a light pink.

She couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly stood up and said:
"My little sister is full."

"See you later, three brothers."

Shang Lulu quickly stood up and left the table, trotting away, causing Hong Tao to frown and reprimand:
"Wenxuan, this is what you did wrong."

Huo Wenxuan showed a sly smile:

"Brother Hong, don't be angry. This is all my fault."

"Next time I'll treat you to flower wine."

"But what is the plan of the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion? Can't Brother Hong and Brother Lu see it?"

"This time when he came to Beijing, he did not send Shang Bo or Shang Ze, but specially sent Miss Shang."

"Who can hide this plan from?"

Huo Wenxuan is certainly not a person who speaks without restraint.

He deliberately bullied Shang Lulu in the hope that she would feel guilty and quickly leave, instead of squeezing in to compete with her own sister.

Lu Ce had already laid down. He didn't care how many people Chu Wujiang married. As long as he didn't change Lu Youlan's position as the legal wife, everything could be discussed. He pondered and said:

"The Marquis is a playboy, so it's better for us not to interfere."

"Come, eat food!"

Hong Tao put down his chopsticks and pondered:
"That's not necessarily true. The merchant owns the largest horse farm in Longzhou and can even raise Arabian horses."

"Longzhou has few cavalry, most of them are infantry."

"If the Marquis of Weiyuan offers a horse ranch as a dowry and a Ferghana horse as a gift, I'm afraid the Marquis will not refuse this marriage."

Lu Ce now showed an expression of disbelief:
"No way."

"That Ferghana horse is more precious than a golden eagle. A Ferghana horse is equivalent to a top-grade spiritual weapon."

"Then can Lord Weiyuan take out his own lifeblood?"

Due to the development of martial arts, ordinary war horses are not of great value. They can be used in carriages at most and are not as useful as warriors.

But the Arabian horse is different. It is a demon beast like the golden eagle, and is also a standard equipment of the Tianyou Army.

Each Ferghana horse is equivalent to a Yuandan realm warrior, so you can imagine how precious they are.

In the last battle between the mermaids, Earl Weiyuan was reluctant to take out his Ferghana horse, let alone now.

Hong Tao snorted coldly:

"What if merchants want to get a piece of the mermaid trade?"

Lu Ce's expression changed slightly.

The Lu family and the Hong family had reconciled long ago, and the two sides jointly ran the trade between Longzhou and the mermaids, and the trade made huge profits from the beginning.

With the help of the mermaids, a large number of pearls and treasures from the ocean were discovered, bringing huge profits.

Naturally, the Lu family was not happy about anyone interfering.

Lu Ce quickly said, "How about we buy some horse farms and give them to the Marquis?"

"No matter how precious a Ferghana horse is, it still has a price."

Hong Tao pondered for a moment and whispered:

"We can make preparations first to neutralize the threat from the horse farm."

"As for whether the Marquis is interested in Shang Lulu, that is the Marquis's private matter."

"We try to reduce the value of the Ferghana horses that merchants contribute."

Lu Ce shouted quickly:

"A word is settled!"

Huo Wenxuan immediately added:

"Brother Lu, Brother Hong, count me in as well."

The three companies quickly reached a cooperative alliance and smiled at each other.

But after they laughed, they couldn't help but focus their attention on the central military camp and the carriage where Chu Wujiang was.

This carriage is very big and can accommodate many people.

Huo Qiu Shui has been there, Yun Shang has been there, and Lu Youlan has also been there.

But today Chu Wujiang hasn’t gotten off the car yet.

[My Lord, what are you doing? ]

The three of them couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.

……

Just as everyone was guessing, Shang Lulu trotted all the way and unknowingly escaped to her own little red horse.

Bah!

When the little red horse saw its owner, it let out a joyful cry.

Shang Lulu's complexion turned from rosy to pale and her breathing became rapid.

The task entrusted to her by the family was too heavy, and she was a little overwhelmed. She stroked the little red horse's mane and asked in a low voice:
"Fire Spirit, Fire Spirit, what do you think I should do?"

The little red horse's name was Huo Ling, a demon beast at the Yuan Dan realm. She could understand Shang Lulu's voice and called out twice:

“Hihi!”

“Hihi!”

If it were someone else, they might not understand what the little red horse said, but Shang Lulu had the special ability to communicate with spirit beasts since she was a child.

She whispered:

"You mean to see my own thoughts?"

The little red horse nodded, she knew that her master had been worrying about the family's mission.

The Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion was somewhat distant from the power center of Longzhou.

Chu Wujiang did not treat the merchants unfairly. He gave them all the rewards and profits.

But compared to the Lu family, the Huo family, and the Hong family, the merchants’ profits are too little.

Weiyuan Bo said bitterly:

"Three days ago, the Hong family's ship docked and brought a shipload of treasures. Each of those pearls was as big as a quail egg."

"One box of pearls was sold for 100,000 taels of silver, and that's at a discount price!"

"Merchants cannot miss out on this overwhelming wealth!"

When Earl Weiyuan saw with his own eyes how the Hong family brought in a boatload of pearls, corals, and tortoise shells, his eyes instantly turned red.

With the cooperation of the mermaids, these sea treasures that were originally difficult to pick can now be picked up at a glance.

Shang Lulu seemed a little scared when she saw the look in her father's eyes.

"Father?"

"We don't lack money at home, do we?"

Weiyuanbo regained his composure and sighed:
"Shang Lulu, you don't understand."

“Merchants have money, but they cannot fall behind others.”

"Now the Hong family, the Huo family, and the Lu family are all developing rapidly, and the merchants are lagging behind."

"In the future, they will be like the loyal and brave mansion, being eaten up skin and flesh."

"Do you still remember Baili Jin and Baili Zhi?"

Shang Lulu used to be good friends with the two of them. The aristocratic circle in Longzhou was so small that everyone knew each other.

Shang Lulu nodded immediately:

"I heard that Sister Jin and Sister Zhi were both rescued by Marquis Guanjun and became members of the Chu family..."

Shang Lulu was a little embarrassed to speak, so Wei Yuanbo added:

"Yes, I am a servant of the Chu family. I am lucky!"

"One wrong step and this is the outcome."

"As a father, I cannot let my family fall to this state."

A family of nobility and honor will either advance or regress.

Although the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion is far from this point, it is still within reach.

There are no outstanding descendants like Hong Tao and Lu Ce in the Shang family. Most of their descendants are mediocre and there are few with special talents.

The last time, the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion distributed some [Tianxin Grass], but after testing all family members, no hidden talents were found.

Among the next generation of the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, only Shang Lulu has the special ability to communicate with animals.

But this ability is not special. Any spiritual cultivator who reaches the out-of-body realm can communicate with spirit beasts.

As for the others, they don't have any special talents.

In fact, this is the normal situation. It is not normal for families like the Hong family and the Lu family to have so many geniuses.

Shang Lulu could only lower her head and say:

"My daughter understands."

So Shang Lulu disguised herself as a man and followed Chu Wujiang's convoy to Tianjing.

She had almost succeeded in deceiving herself.

As long as they pretend to be a young man and hang around in front of Chu Wujiang to arouse his favor, and finally let him take the initiative, the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion will have the upper hand.

Unexpectedly, Huo Wenxuan opened the lid in front of everyone, making her feel ashamed and angry.

I am just a puppet of my family, an exquisite puppet, a puppet used for betrayal.

Shang Lulu couldn't accept this fact.

She couldn't help but dry heave and felt sick of herself. The little red horse quickly rubbed against its owner, as if to comfort her.

The girl stood up, looked at the little red horse, and couldn't help muttering to herself:

"Fire Spirit, please take me away."

"Go to a place where there are only spirit beasts."

For her, the happiest time was when she was a child, playing with racehorses in the stables.

Even though I went to Yanyu Academy to study later, it couldn't change anything.

The little red horse nodded and shouted:
"Hey! Hiss!"

【Master, I will take you away. 】

【Any time! 】

Shang Lulu's face lit up with joy. She reached out and stroked her horse's mane, whispering:

"Okay, once we've repaid the family's debt, we'll find a way to leave."

“Go to a place where there is no one and run freely.”

Shang Lulu didn't want to just leave because this family was irresponsible.

At the same time, she didn't want to marry Chu Wujiang because they had never met each other.

So Shang Lulu thought about it again and again and decided to find a way out.

She couldn't help but analyze:
"The Champion Marquis is a rare hero. He must need a Ferghana horse."

"As long as merchants use this BMW to exchange for shares in the mermaid trade, they can also participate in this wealth."

"Father might then cancel the marriage!"

Shang Lulu's thoughts gradually became clear. Her father hoped that she would have a close relationship with the Chu family like Lu Youlan and Huo Qiu Shui.

But this is not necessary.

Because the real goal of merchants is to make money, no, it is to integrate into the new system created by Chu Wujiang.

Anyone who has lived in the Tianming Dynasty will understand that the allocation of resources is decided from above.

Chu Wujiang spent a huge amount of energy to form a ruling system unique to Longzhou with himself as the core and the Huo family, Lu family, and Hong family as the pillars.

As for people outside the system, they are like fish on the beach. They will continue to be marginalized and even dehydrated.

Although the Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion seems to be worry-free, it is actually in a very dangerous situation.

In the new world created by Chu Wujiang, there is no place for them, at most they are cheerleaders waving flags and shouting.

The Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion could not accept this result.

Shang Lulu tried hard to convince herself:
"Ms. Hong didn't marry Marquis Guanjun, but Marquis Guanjun is still in league with the Hong family."

"It can be seen that the marriage between the two parties is not important."

"Whether you can find a suitable position in the Marquis' system is the most important thing."

When the little red horse heard that his master had made up his mind, he called out happily twice:

"Whee!"

Shang Lulu made up her mind and felt much more comfortable.

A smile appeared on her face and she said:
"Thank you, Fire Spirit."

"I'll go get you some barley and soybeans."

The little red horse shouted critically:

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

Shang Lulu was surprised and said:

"What, you want carrots and beets, and some eggs?"

The little red horse nodded.

Shang Lulu had no choice but to promise:

"Okay, I'll go find it for you."

She was thinking of going to the logistics officer to ask for some carrots and beets to feed the little red horse, but when she turned around, she saw a woman in black.

The woman in black had just gotten off Chu Wujiang's carriage. She was staggering, as if her legs and feet were a little weak.

After Shang Lulu confirmed it again and again, she couldn't help but call out:
"Sister Jin?"

Baili Jin had just steadied herself when she heard the call and was startled. She quickly turned around and took a closer look, and found that it was her classmate at Yanyu Academy.

Baili Jin shouted uncertainly:
"Xiaolu?"

"Sister Jin, it's really you!"

Shang Lulu shouted in surprise.

When acquaintances meet, they are particularly cordial.

It’s just that Baili Jin’s cheeks were slightly red, her body was hot, and she felt like she was being discovered having an affair.

In order to hide her embarrassment, she quickly changed the subject:

"Xiao Lu, are you going to Tianjing?"

Shang Lulu showed a nostalgic look, and she said incessantly:
"Yes, Sister Jin."

"Are you and Sister Zhi okay?"

"At that time, something happened to the Baili family so quickly that I couldn't go find you..."

"And Young Master Lu..."

Baili Jin's face changed and he interrupted:
"Don't mention his name."

"I have severed all ties with him. He is just relying on the remaining power of the Lu family branch. He is a complete villain."

"He is not worthy of being my fiancé."

Shang Lulu quickly covered her mouth, then clasped her hands together, bowed and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Sister Jin."

"I shouldn't bring up these sad things."

Baili Jin's expression softened a lot, and he shook his head and said:

"It's okay. I don't care anymore."

Shang Lulu tried to change the subject:

"Sister Jin, you are now serving the Champion Marquis, and you just got off the carriage."

"Can you tell me what kind of person is Champion Marquis?"

It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
Baili Jin blushed.

She thought back to her experiences in the carriage over the past two days and felt a little weak.

Chu Wujiang has done nothing else these days.

He just used his peach blossom luck such as [Yin and Yang Harmony] and [Harmony of the Harmony and the Zither], combined with the "Heavenly Demon Bliss Technique", to assist the ladies in their practice.

One day of practice for both parties is equivalent to half a month.

Especially [Yin Yang Harmony] combined with [Eternal Unity] has a cumulative effect. The more people there are, the better the effect.

Over the past few days, Chu Wujiang's vitality has continued to increase, and this vitality has been madly transformed into soul power, allowing his soul to have a new breakthrough.

It advances from a wandering god to a Yin god.

The spiritual practice is divided into: nourishing the soul, leaving the body, wandering the soul, Yin spirit, and Yang spirit. (Note: Chapter 299)
Most warriors who have cultivated to the Yuanling realm will integrate their spirit into their spirit body, but Chu Wujiang is a rare exception in ten thousand years, truly maintaining the dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts. (Note: Chapter 368)
With sufficient time to practice, and with the help of the ladies, he would naturally reach the Yin Shen realm.

Perhaps in the future Chu Wujiang will be able to accomplish unprecedented feats and achieve both the Yuanshen and Yangshen at the same time.

For this great cause, there were a little too many people on the carriage.

Every morning, noon, and evening, there are people who cooperate with Chu Wujiang in practicing.

After all, Chu Wujiang has the [Qiankun Gourd], so spatial distance is not a problem.

As for why Baili Jin appeared in the carriage.

Just because Baili Zhi, who came here to practice two days ago, mentioned:
"My Lord, you promised me that you would let Sister Jin be your maid."

Chu Wujiang laughed dumbly and said:

"Of course, a husband never breaks a promise, as long as she is willing."

Then Baili Jin appeared in the carriage, and she answered without hesitation:

"My slave is willing!"

Chu Wujiang did not agree, but continued:
"Miss Jin, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back."

"Now the Baili family can rebuild. You have proven yourselves on the battlefield."

Baili Jin said firmly:
"My Lord, I have two wishes."

"One is to rebuild the Baili family, and the other is to avenge my former fiancé."

Chu Wujiang still remembered that Baili Jin ended up like this because her fiancé secretly reported to the court, making it impossible for her to escape. (Note: Chapter 211)
Baili Jin remembered this hatred, and her temper was much more stubborn than Baili Zhi's.

Baili Jin looked up at Chu Wujiang and said seriously:

"As long as the Marquis doesn't mind, I am willing to be your woman."

“This is also a form of revenge!”

When Baili Jin saw Chu Wujiang's appearance, he didn't feel that he had made much of a sacrifice.

She added:

"Besides, I am very grateful to you, my Lord. I am grateful that you cured the eldest lady's illness and helped the Baili family rebuild."

"I am willing, very willing."

Chu Wujiang didn't act pretentiously, he nodded and said:

"Then I will help you realize your wish."

The beauty threw herself into his arms, and Chu Wujiang showed his chivalrous spirit and tenderness.

Tender love, close whispers.

Baili Jin recalled the absurdity of the past two days and her cheeks flushed. She squeezed her legs together, as if she had just had a beautiful dream.

She almost got so absorbed in it that she forgot herself.

Shang Lulu couldn't help but call out:
"Sister Jin?"

"Sister Jin?"

These two calls woke Baili Jin up from his dream, and he asked awkwardly:
