Imperial Cultivation

The four Grand Masters watched him collect the eight hand beads, exchanging helpless glances.

They originally wanted to reclaim the Godslaying Division, but with Chu Zhiyuan's actions, they couldn't stop him.

Without Chu Zhiyuan's flying knives, they weren't sure if they could have stopped these eight Underworld Secret Guards.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "With these auras as bait, they will definitely come looking for me."

"...Yes." Shi Jingchuan sighed, "Your Highness, this is too dangerous."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "With all of you protecting me, what danger could there be?"

Shi Jingchuan smiled wryly, "Your Highness, we..."

"They will definitely come, are you all going to let them go?"

"Of course not." Mo Qi said. Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Exactly."

The four exchanged another look, their faces full of helplessness.

They were all busy with their own affairs. They only came together because of the appearance of the Underworld Secret Guards and really didn't have time to guard a single person.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "If the four of you are too busy, it's the same if someone else comes."

"...Let's inform the Prince." Shi Jingchuan smiled.

The next time the Underworld Secret Guards appear, there will definitely be more, one or two Grand Masters won't be enough.

If it's a Divine Envoy who appears, then one or two Grandmasters won't be enough either. They really needed four Grand Masters to guard him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his fist in salute, "Then I'll have to trouble the four of you."

"Your Highness is too kind." Shi Jingchuan said with a helpless expression.

Chu Zhiyuan returned to his residence, washed up, and went to the front hall to prepare for dinner.

Chu Minghou and Chu Yi were already sitting at the table, the three of them chatting.

Footsteps sounded, the felt curtain was lifted, and Bai Ning霜 entered with a gust of fragrant wind.

She looked travel-worn, and glared at Chu Zhiyuan as soon as she came in. Chu Zhiyuan was baffled.

Chu Minghou laughed, "Madam, how did Yuan'er offend you again?"

"Mother, did Big Brother cause trouble?" Chu Yi asked with a grin, looking excited, feeling like there was a show to watch.

"Cause trouble? Hmph, he performed a great service!" Bai Ning霜 sneered repeatedly. Chu Yi hurriedly said, "What great service did Big Brother perform again?"

Bai Ning霜 glanced at Chu Zhiyuan sideways, "What did the Phoenix Camp go do!" Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Mother, what news did you hear? Some news isn't entirely accurate, don't listen to them making groundless accusations."

The Phoenix Camp's actions were confidential, only he and Bai Ningyu knew, and everyone else was unaware beforehand.

Of course, the Emperor definitely knew, including Chu Qingfeng and Chu Qingyan.

Bai Ningyu hadn't returned and wouldn't reveal it to Bai Ning霜, and no one else could.

"I know from the Empress!" Bai Ning霜 said unhappily, "You're still hiding it from me, you didn't even say a word when you came back, you're really tight-lipped!... You guys went to war, and you said it was training!"

"Training also includes practicing actual combat, we can't just stick to theoretical exercises." Chu Zhiyuan said, "What did the Empress know?"

"Everyone in the palace knows." Bai Ning霜 sat down and said, "They all say you use troops like a god, and destroyed the Great Lie Dynasty's four camps in one fell swoop."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Use troops like a god? That's too much flattery."

The Great Jing people would feel that it was only natural.

Only those who truly understood military affairs and knew the real situation would understand how difficult it was.

"Big Brother, what exactly happened? Did the Phoenix Camp win a battle?" Chu Yi hurriedly tugged at his arm, wanting him to tell the truth.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "We ambushed a Great Lie military camp, there's nothing to talk about."

Bai Ning霜 glared at him and said, "It's not just one military camp, it's four military camps, you're too bold, what if you were blocked?"

"It's not that dangerous," Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Mother still doesn't know how I act, I'm very steady."

"...In short, do less of this kind of thing in the future!"

“Eat your meal.”

Chu Minghou laughed: "Alright, Yuan'er has his own ideas, it's useless to say anything, just eat."

Bai Ning霜 glared at him, snorted, and didn't say anything more, knowing that saying anything was useless.

She heard the Consort Rou's words in the palace, looking blank, listening to Consort Rou's praise, although happy, she was more annoyed and worried.

This matter was too dangerous.

One bad move and he would be stuck in Great Lie, that was an army battle,

Who cares about prince or not?

This time it was a good result, but what about next time, can you guarantee victory? She knew that using troops was extremely dangerous, and no one dared to guarantee victory before the fight.

There were too many accidents, too many factors that determined the outcome, and the slightest mistake would lead to the opposite result.

She originally thought that the Phoenix Camp was the Imperial Guard, and would not go to the battlefield and would not have this kind of thing, she was thinking too beautifully.

As long as it is a military camp, there may be war, which is extremely dangerous.

The Phoenix Camp has made such a great contribution, his prestige has greatly increased, and he is also the prince, who can pick his peaches and replace him in charge of the Phoenix Camp?

The Phoenix Camp has already been branded with his mark, and it will be difficult for him to leave.

Being in charge of a battalion of the Imperial Guard can be said to be a high position and great power, but she was not excited at all, only worried.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about, I'll go to the Inviting Moon Palace tomorrow to rest."

"Yes, yes, go and see Ruoling quickly." Bai Ning霜 hurriedly said, "Stay there for a while, don't rush back."

She couldn't wait for Chu Zhiyuan to stay longer, preferably always stay in the Inviting Moon Palace, so as to avoid the Phoenix Camp having to go out to take risks again.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chu Yi excitedly tugged at Chu Zhiyuan, asking him to explain in detail the process of ambushing the Great Lie military camp.

Bai Ning霜 felt that she was noisy and glared at her twice.

She was very good at reading faces, and immediately obediently closed her little mouth and ate her meal honestly.

After eating, she ran to Listening Wave Courtyard to ask about the whole thing.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't resist, so he told the story, which made Chu Yi exclaim in admiration.

Before going to the Inviting Moon Palace, Chu Zhiyuan first went to the manor where Xu Yingying was located.

But Xu Yingying was not there.

Only Zhou Sisi was guarding there.

Chu Zhiyuan was very disappointed and asked Zhou Sisi where Xu Yingying had gone and when she would be back.

Zhou Sisi saw his face full of disappointment and replied with a smile that she would be back soon.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "What did she go to do again?"

"Senior Sister has returned to the sect." Zhou Sisi smiled, "The sect has something to call Senior Sister back, but Senior Sister should be back soon."

"...Then forget it." Chu Zhiyuan nodded, feeling helpless.

Since he was going to the Inviting Moon Palace, he naturally had to go to the secret place, and this time he would stay in the secret place for longer.

This required the help of Xu Yingying's luck. But Xu Yingying was actually not there.

He thought about it and said, "After Yingying comes back, send me a message." "Okay." Zhou Sisi smiled.

Chu Zhiyuan saw her smile strangely and shook his head, too lazy to explain.

Zhou Sisi was still young and always liked to consider things in terms of love between men and women.

How could she know that in this world, love between men and women is only an insignificant part.

.....

Two days later, in the early morning, Chu Zhiyuan received a letter from Xu Yingying.

After eating breakfast, he first showed his face at the Ministry of Rites.

After reading a stack of files on the table, he gave Gao Lingfeng some instructions.

He was going to leave for a while. Gao Lingfeng would make the decisions on minor matters, and report major matters directly to the Vice Minister.

Then he came to the manor in the suburbs.

When he entered the manor, Xu Yingying was practicing her sword in the small training ground in the center of the front yard.

She was wearing a purple outfit, and her skin was as white as snow.

The sword light was light and agile, as unpredictable as her mental method.

Xu Yingying saw him appear, put away her sword and stood up, her sweet face flushed, bright and moving.

Xu Yingying curiously approached and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "You led the Phoenix Camp to destroy the four camps of Great Lie's South Cloud Island?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

This matter had spread so quickly, it seemed that everyone knew about it.

This was really a bit strange, it was as if someone was deliberately spreading it, afraid that someone would not know.

Xu Yingying clicked her tongue a few times, and looked him up and down: "I really didn't see it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I'll show you something good."

He took out the Sealing Spirit Box and handed it to Xu Yingying: "Do you know about the Underworld Secret Guard?"
