"Moreover, the corpse soldiers are irreplaceable. Sending the soldiers of Dafeng to carry out the blood sacrifice mission will inevitably lead to great chaos."
The King of Huai's plan was to use the Spirit Master to control a large number of corpse soldiers and massacre 300,000 people in Chuzhou.
Then, using the abilities of the Black Lotus Demonic Clone and the Spiritual Master, he manipulated the corpse to keep Chu Zhou's appearance unchanged.
Then, within a month, he refined the Soul Pill and the Blood Pill.
If the Prince of Zhenbei takes the Blood Pill and then cultivates with Mu Nanzhi, he can break through to the second rank.
As for the Soul Pill, it was taken by Emperor Joan of Arc himself.
Because he was not originally a Taoist priest, he only began practicing Taoism after being corrupted by the Black Lotus.
Later, he even transformed into the Three Pure Ones, causing cracks in his soul, which had to be repaired with a Soul Pill.
However, the current situation is not good, and if it drags on any longer, things may change.
The Prince of Huai and Emperor Yuanjing were both devoured by Emperor Zhende and became his clones.
The improvement in the Prince of Huai's cultivation will benefit him sooner or later, since the three of them are essentially one person.
"If this drags on any longer and the demons ruin things, we might not even have the Blood Pill left."
Emperor Yuanjing muttered to himself, while Chu Xianglong remained silent.
"When it is broken, it will be disrupted."
"Let's do as the Prince of Huai wishes."
"Yes, sir!" Chu Xianglong felt relieved, not expecting the emperor to agree so easily.
In his mind, the Soul Pill was for His Majesty's cultivation.
The Blood Pill was used by the Prince of Huai for his breakthrough.
It's clear from this that His Majesty truly treats his brother, the Prince of Huai, very well.
"Your Majesty...that Princess Consort..."
Emperor Yuanjing said in a deep voice, "You brought back several spies."
Chu Xianglong replied, "The three fourth-rank secret agents are all His Highness Prince Huai's absolute confidants."
The secret agents of the Prince of Huai were private soldiers raised by the Prince of Huai. They were used to gather intelligence during wartime and to do shady things in peacetime.
“I trust the Prince of Huai’s confidants.”
"However, the princess's appearance is magnificent, her spiritual aura and outstanding looks are really too eye-catching."
Chu Xianglong's gaze sharpened. "Your Majesty, the Princess Consort possesses a magical artifact, and she often sneaks out to play on her own."
"Not only can it conceal its aura, but it can also transform into an ordinary woman."
Emperor Yuanjing suddenly frowned, "What's going on? Why does Mu Nanzhi often sneak out?"
Chu Xianglong said, "Moreover, she seems to have a powerful figure helping her, which the guards in the mansion are completely unaware of."
"The princess herself said that it was the Imperial Preceptor who invited her to Lingbao Temple."
Emperor Yuanjing pondered for a moment, "The princess's spirit is still intact, so it's probably just that she was playing around. I'll ask the Imperial Advisor to verify this another day."
"If it's the Imperial Advisor, that's fine, but if it's anyone else, I will make sure they suffer a terrible death!"
"Since she has a magical artifact, that's for the best. You can take her away without her noticing."
"Remember, this must be kept secret. We absolutely cannot let those barbarian thieves intercept the Queen!"
Chu Xianglong repeatedly agreed, saying that if the demons discovered the signs of a blood sacrifice, they might also try to take advantage of the princess.
Three hours later.
The outer hall of the Prince of Huai's residence.
Wearing a lake-blue palace dress and with her face veiled by a light gauze, Mu Nanzhi idly fiddled with the tea set on the table.
Ever since the Prince of Huai's deputy returned to the capital, he has been sending female spies to keep a close watch on her day and night.
Before Vice General Chu Xianglong returned, she could slip out at will, and Li Chang'an could come anytime.
Now that's great, it's so annoying.
Chu Xianglong, clad in full armor and with a sword at his waist, stood proudly.
The ruthless killing intent she developed on the battlefield made Mu Nanzhi very uncomfortable.
"I've heard that the princess often sneaks out; isn't that a bit against the rules?"
Mu Nanzhi gracefully played with the tea set, her movements gentle and indifferent.
“Your Highness, what you are doing is extremely improper, and it also makes His Highness Prince Huai look bad.”
"So annoying!" Mu Nanzhi frowned slightly, her voice cold.
"You dare question me?"
"Go ahead and question Luo Yuheng if you dare!"
"This humble servant dares not!" Chu Xianglong bowed his head.
"My purpose in returning to the capital this time is not only to demand military pay."
We also need to take the Princess to the north to meet the Prince; please make preparations as soon as possible.
Mu Nanzhi's heart trembled violently. Was the Prince of Huai about to make a move?
She really didn't want to go to the north; going there meant having her spiritual essence stolen.
The princess's heart had long been set on Li Chang'an.
However, these days, she has been accompanied by a female spy the whole time and has no way to get away.
"I'm not going!"
"It's too cold," Mu Nanzhi stammered.
Chu Xianglong sneered inwardly, but said aloud, "Tian Shu will help the Princess pack her bags and take care of her daily life."
"Please, Your Highness, do not worry."
Mu Nanzhi was furious; they were going to kidnap her and take her to the north.
Just then, a guard entered the hall and clasped his hands in greeting to Chu Xianglong.
"General, the Marquis of Jingning has arrived."
The princess's lowered eyes instantly regained their sparkle, and the corners of her mouth under her veil turned up slightly.
He's finally here!
Chapter 363 Liberating Mu Nanzhi! The Imperial Advisor is Deceiving His Lace-Ups Again!
Chu Xianglong's expression suddenly changed, "Marquis Jingning?"
"He has no prior dealings with His Highness Prince Huai, what is he doing here?"
At that moment, a figure flashed behind Mu Nanzhi, and a female spy dressed in black stepped forward.
This is Tian Shu, the leader of the secret agents. She is tall and beautiful, and usually cold and aloof.
"The Marquis of Jingning is a third-rank official from a third-class family, and his strength is even greater than that of the Prince."
"He has repeatedly demonstrated the prestige of the Great Feng Kingdom, and now even His Majesty treats him with deference."
"So, you can't stop him even if you try." Li Chang'an's figure had already appeared in the front hall.
Seeing Li Chang'an appear with such terrifying speed, Chu Xianglong was greatly alarmed.
"Li Chang'an!" Mu Nanzhi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes sparkling.
Li Chang'an, dressed in a blue brocade robe, arrived instantly using the "Traveling Character" technique, his robes fluttering in the wind.
The usually elegant Marquis Jingning had a hint of murderous intent hidden in his handsome features.
Mu Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat, but considering that the Prince of Huai's spies were here, she pursed her red lips and forced herself to sit back down.
"Marquis Jingning!"
Chu Xianglong shouted and drew the steel knife from his waist.
The three fourth-rank secret agents, Tian Shu, Tian Quan, and Tian Ji, all drew their swords at the same time.
The Prince of Huai was Emperor Yuanjing's younger brother, and he had served the border for many years, making great contributions to the country.
Before Li Chang'an appeared, the Prince of Huai was always the number one warrior in the Great Feng Dynasty!
The Prince of Huai held a position of such high esteem that he was unparalleled among the imperial relatives.
"Although you have some merit, you are only a marquis. How dare you trespass on the Prince's residence!" Chu Xianglong asked loudly, filled with shock and anger.
“The Prince of Zhenbei has made outstanding contributions. This is a royal residence bestowed by the late emperor. How dare you trespass on it?”
Li Chang'an stood in the front hall, turned his face calmly, and glanced at Chu Xianglong, whose face was full of anger.
"Leave far away."
So what if Chu Xianglong drew his sword? He didn't dare to lay a hand on a transcendent expert.
