The person who came was none other than the lawless criminal Madman Chu.

Jiutian saw who was coming, chuckled, and removed the talisman that he had thrown at him.

"What kind of skill is this? A technique to freeze the body?"

Madman Chu shouted in surprise and tried to break into the house, but it was like hitting a rock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get in.

Looking at the uncle and nephew who were eating leisurely in the room, Crazy Chu scratched his head and asked, "What kind of skills are you using? Why can't I get in?"

"Go back, we don't accept murderers."

"I want to learn martial arts from you." Crazy Chu found that he couldn't get in no matter what posture he used, so he simply calmed down and bargained with Yin Jinan at the door, "How about you teach me martial arts and I help you kill people?"

"Teach you to deal with us?"

"I swear to heaven—" Madman Chu pointed three fingers to the sky, "I will never harm you in my life. If you break your oath, let me, Madman Chu, rot into dog hair!!"

Yin Jinan pointed at Jiutian and said to Crazy Chu, "If you want to learn the skills, learn from her."

"What? Accept him as your master? No, no, how can I accept a kid as my master? If this gets out, won't I be so embarrassed?"

"If you don't want to, leave!"

“……”Black-hearted guy!

But he was reluctant to leave.

After Yin Jinan and Jiutian finished their meal, someone came to clean up the dishes. Jiutian lifted the taboo. Yin Jinan saw that Crazy Chu was still struggling at the door and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Madman Chu asked Jiutian: "Do you really know the technique?"

Jiu Tian pinched his fingers together, pointed at him, and said, "Set!"

Madman Chu turned into a wooden man again.

Wow, it’s true. Such a little kid is so capable. The evil-minded guy must be even more capable.

Jiutian removed the spell for him, and the madman Chu said, "I am willing to accept Jiutian as my master."

He had nothing to be embarrassed about, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Jiutian.

Jiutian smiled and accepted his head generously.

Yin Jinan said: "From today on, you are her apprentice. Although she only teaches you the skills, she is still your master. You must protect her and do whatever she tells you to do."

"Of course." The madman Chu would never regret choosing his master.

Yin Jinan was secretly happy.

If Jiutian finds a safe, reliable and loyal guard, he can be at ease as a clay pot mine.

Jiutian and Kuangren Chu sat outside the Arsenal, helping Yin Jinan guard the door and chatting idly.

"Why do you want to come to my second uncle? You don't like wealth and glory."

"Master, since your second uncle is the eldest prince, why do you call him second uncle?"

"This was decided by your master, don't ask any more questions."

"Oh... then, is the eldest prince in the same group with Queen Chu and Chu Jiang?"

"No! My second uncle is my second uncle!"

Kuang Ren Chu thought this was a bit strange, like, your uncle is your uncle?

"Is the eldest prince really not in the same group as Queen Chu and Prime Minister Chu?"

"Why would my second uncle team up with them? Do you want to join them?"

"No, no, no, why would I join those two traitors?" Crazy Chu asked again, "Isn't your second uncle recruiting soldiers? Does he want everyone?"

Jiu Tian blinked and said, "I don't really want someone like you."

"Why? Am I not awesome?"

"too old!"

"..."

The master is so annoying, he always hits people in the heart!

During lunch, Jiutian whispered to Yin Jinan, "Second uncle, Crazy Chu might have someone to introduce to you. I think he should be a very powerful person."

She repeated what Crazy Chu said to Yin Jinan.

Yin Jinan guessed that the man must have a blood feud with the Queen of Chu and the Prime Minister of Chu.

He said to Jiu Tian, ​​"Next time he tests you, tell him clearly that as long as you have the ability and good character, I will use you if I see you."

Jiutian clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"

Yin Jinan was determined to fight back to the capital, and he truly started from scratch.

No soldiers, no generals, no weapons, no food...

The reason why the conquest of the wild land and the thirty-six northern states in Daqian was so smooth was because Xie Zhaozhao opened up the lucrative Maritime Silk Road with him.

As a purely inland city, Xixia was so poor that people had to eat dirt and had no access to mountains or rivers, so it was extremely difficult to get enough food and fodder.

If we want to fight back to the capital, we must fight back as quickly as possible.

Seize the throne, and as an emperor, meet the living Guanyin on an equal footing...

So happily decided!

Yin Jinan asked Wang Can to continue collecting saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, earthenware jars, etc. for him.

Even if someone knew that he was making gunpowder, he might not be able to develop it in his lifetime.

Only he and the Living Guanyin know the secret best.

Since the announcement of the manifesto, people have surrendered in an endless stream. He selected and recruited more than 10,000 soldiers and generals.

Wang Can wanted to add more, but Yin Jinan said that was enough and asked him to find a way to find more loyal members of Gu's army.

The border needs capable people to guard it, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted.

If you can't find Gu's family, you can find his old subordinates.

While he was talking to Wang Can, Jiutian was meditating beside him.

Crazy Chu also followed suit and tried to learn how to meditate, but it was clear that he was not taking it seriously, as he was eavesdropping with his ears perked up.

After Wang Can left, Kuang Ren Chu came over and said that he had someone to recommend who was absolutely suitable.

Yin Jinan said: "Bring the person here for me to see."

Crazy Chu ran out and ended up waiting for more than a day before coming back.

When he came, he brought with him a young man carrying a spear.

The man was very strong, like a wall, and it was obvious that he practiced martial arts frequently.

Yin Jinan looked at the man, and the man also looked at him silently.

After half a minute, Yin Jinan knocked on the table and asked, "Did you come here voluntarily? Or was you forced to come by Madman Chu?"

The man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"What if I said yes?"

Yin Jinan was wearing a mask, so the man couldn't see his face, but he felt that Yin Jinan was clear-headed and had a strong aura, which was obviously different from... the rumored Crown Prince.

"You are not the eldest prince, why are you pretending to be one?" The man's face was gloomy and murderous. "I have met His Highness."

"How many times have we met?"

"I saw it often when I was a kid, and once when I grew up."

Yin Jinan looked at this person with interest. To be honest, this person did not exist in "Xiao Jinan's" memory.

"Tell me, what is your impression of the eldest prince?"

The man said in a low voice: "Your Highness, he is a poor man..."

"Oh, keep talking."

“…I don’t want to say it!”

Yin Jinan was basically certain that this person was most likely a descendant of the Gu family, and that he should be very loyal.

Yin Jinan beckoned to him, motioning him to come closer.

The man took a few steps forward and came in front of him, holding a spear in his hand, with murderous intent.

Yin Jinan took off his mask.

The man was stunned when he saw the extremely delicate face under the mask.

The face was exactly the same as in my memory, even the red cinnabar mole at the corner of the eye was exactly the same.

In this world, the only one with such an enchanting face is the eldest prince.

"Are you really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Replace it if it's fake!"

"Your..." He pointed.

"back to normal!"

The man threw his spear aside, knelt down, and said respectfully with a sob: "I, Gu Bahuang, kowtow to Your Highness. I swear to follow Your Highness until death."

It’s really the Gu family!

"Are you the youngest son of the Gu family?"

"Yes, I am the eighth grandson of the great general Gu Hanqing who protects the country."

Gu Bahuang was weak when he was young and could not dance with a sword at the age of eight. The Gu family was worried, so they sent him to the mountains to learn skills. He came down the mountain once eight years ago when they fought against the Liao army.

So the entire Gu family was executed, but he escaped.

However, the imperial court posted arrest warrants everywhere for his capture.

When he was a child, his mother had a very close relationship with Empress Wei. After he grew up, he only met "Xiao Jinan" once, which was during the war with Liao.

And he will always remember that side of his life, and the heartache will never be erased.

When the Liao Dynasty invaded with an army of 100,000, Emperor Yangsheng's grandfather died in battle, so he sent an eight-year-old child to fight against the Liao army.

That day, he recognized the Grand Prince at a glance. It was the first time he saw the Grand Prince after he started learning martial arts.

An eight-year-old child is so stupid that he can only understand the simplest things like eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

Gu Bahuang begged the commander-in-chief, saying that the prince was young and he would rather fight to the death with the Liao army than let the prince die on the battlefield.

The commander said, "This is the order of His Majesty. His identity must not be disclosed, or else he will be punished by military law."

That day, the setting sun was as red as blood, and His Highness' eyes were bloodshot.

The sound of gongs and drums and the deafening trumpets all rang in His Highness' ears.

Gu Bahuang watched as His Highness became completely irrational and stupid. The stupidity disappeared from his face, but was replaced by violence and anxiety.

Your Highness was sent to the enemy's front. This was like asking Your Highness to die! Gu Bahuang tried desperately to stop him, but the commander was furious and ordered his men to tie him up and watch him outside the tent.

He saw his highness grow rapidly from an eight-year-old child to kill the Liao army in an extremely cruel manner.

His body was so flexible, almost like a ghost.

His hands are so strong that he doesn't need any weapons to kill anyone, he can just tear them apart with his bare hands!

His cruelty is even greater than that of tigers and leopards.

He killed almost half of the 100,000-strong enemy army, and he was also cut and stabbed by countless swords and spears, but he seemed to be insensitive to the pain and just kept fighting and tearing things apart.

It was not until he fainted from exhaustion that the commander ordered a pursuit and killing until all the Liao troops were killed.

Gu Bahuang also fainted.

The commander immediately hid the prince secretly in the main tent. No one knew that it was the prince, but Gu Bahuang knew that it was their eldest prince!

However, your highness's reputation as a god of war has never spread, and no one even mentions this person.

All those who knew His Highness's identity were killed on pretexts.

No one knew that the child who single-handedly fought against an army of 100,000 was the prince. The Liao Dynasty was terrified by that battle. It was said that Western Xia had witchcraft that could drive demons to kill people.

To this day, eight years have passed, and the Liao Dynasty has not dared to invade Western Xia.

After that, Gu Bahuang couldn't sleep for countless days and nights. Self-blame and hatred made him study martial arts hard day and night. He wanted to protect the child.

Unexpectedly, when he returned from his studies, the entire Gu family was executed.

……

A few months ago, the Gu family was convicted.

There are rumors in various countries on the mainland that the witchcraft of Western Xia has been lost, the puppet of the god of war has been destroyed, the Gu family has been destroyed, and there is no one to defend Western Xia, so the Uighur and Liao armies have begun to stir again.

Gu Bahuang met Kuang Ren Chu while on the run. Kuang Ren Chu, who had always ignored people, took to him at first sight.

This time, when he heard that the prince was going to fight back to Kyoto, he immediately told him that the opportunity had come.

He didn't believe it was His Highness, but he hoped it was His Highness.

"When I was a child, I met Empress Wei. She was innocent, lively, and amiable. My grandfather had the best impression of her. He said that she was upright and honest. He hoped that I would have more contact with Your Highness and that I would grow up to be His Highness's right-hand man. However, things did not go as planned..."

There is no need to say anything.

Yin Jinan asked: "Where do you usually hide?"

"The portrait they drew is of me five years ago, which is very different from my current appearance. No one recognized me. I bought a yard and don't come out often."

Gu Bahuang clasped his fists again, "Your Highness, please, let me follow you!"

This time, he would stand in front of the child and protect him.
