Chu Wu lived in Li Mansion for more than ten years.

Over the years, Chu Wu has been following General Li in his campaigns, and has made great military achievements. Even the emperor praised him highly.

However, Chu Wu accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

After getting drunk one time, General Li, who was in high spirits, asked Chu Wu which school of swordsmanship he learned from.

Chu Wu, who was not on guard against General Li, spoke very naturally and told him about the secret book he found in the mountains.

The moment the secret was spoken out, Chu Wu also woke up and his face changed drastically, but it was too late. He just stared blankly at General Li who was smiling faintly in front of him.

"Would you be willing to take us there, sir?"

Chu Wu: "No."

Without any hesitation, Chu Wu bluntly rejected General Li and even stood up excitedly.

General Li's expression gradually became awkward. He looked at Chu Wu, who was still in a daze for a long time, and thought of what the emperor said when he summoned him not long ago.

Judging from Chu Wu's kung fu, there must be a master guiding him behind the scenes.

If the person behind the scenes can be brought under the control of the court, the benefits are self-evident.

"Sir, do you have any hidden concerns?"

Seeing Chu Wu reveal the secret, General Li was naturally very excited.

There must be more than one secret book in that hall. If we can get those secret books and find some young men with excellent aptitude to train them, we will definitely be able to get an excellent army.

Every king has the ambition to unify the world, and as a general, General Li also has the loyalty to protect the country in his heart.

General Li looked at Chu Wu with anticipation in his eyes, but Chu Wu was thinking about how to change the subject.

"I'm sorry, General Li, but I have no comment on this matter."

Hearing Chu Wu's repeated refusal, General Li naturally knew not to ask any more questions. He sighed with regret and said, "In that case, I won't embarrass you, sir."

However, General Li did not believe that Chu Wu had no one to guide him and relied entirely on self-study.

Just think that the master asked Chu Wu to say so.

If only General Li knew about it, it would not be a big deal. However, some people with ulterior motives heard it. Regardless of Chu Wu's ugly face, they joked and asked Chu Wu to take them to the so-called temple on the mountain to look for opportunities.

Chu Wu naturally refused without any mercy.

As more and more people asked, Chu Wu had no choice but to lie and said that what he said before was not valid and that he had just made it up to save face.

But those people were not stupid. How could they really believe what Chu Wu said? They just felt embarrassed to speak again after hearing Chu Wu say that.

Chu Wu's remarks were circulated several times and were finally heard by the current emperor.

The emperor, who was worried about not being able to find an excuse, summoned Chu Wu to find out whether this palace was really so magical.

After Chu Wu was completely sober, he knew that something was wrong. He also heard that the emperor wanted to see him, so he had to make plans to leave Li Mansion.

It was also at this time that border war broke out again.

The emperor met with Chu Wu briefly and asked him about the secret book and the temple. In order to allow Chu Wu to speak, the emperor drove everyone around him out of the door.

But Chu Wu did not hide anything just because of his identity as the emperor. After sobering up, Chu Wu clearly realized that his ties with the Temple of the Gods were getting weaker and weaker.

It probably won't be long before he can no longer find his way back.

After being rejected by Chu Wu, the emperor was obviously displeased and wanted an answer, but due to the impending war, he had to let him go.

Chu Wu did not hesitate to follow the Li family into battle again.

But this time, the news that came was no longer about the Li family's victory.

Overnight, General Li and Mrs. Li were killed on the battlefield. At the same time, Chu Wu and the eldest son of the Li family also disappeared from the public eye. The remaining soldiers were leaderless and could only defend the pass by force.

In the end, although they managed to defend the pass, it was at the cost of ceding the city and paying compensation, in exchange for several years of peace.

When Chu You saw Chu Wu again, he saw him seriously injured, and Li Yanqing standing next to him, covered in blood and expressionless.

It was also at that moment that Chu You understood that those palace rules were real and not false.

Because Chu Wu exposed the secrets in the palace, he, who had always been invincible, was defeated repeatedly and even ended up with injuries.

Cause and effect cannot be forcibly interfered with. Even if Chu Wu could still find the Temple of the Gods, he could no longer step inside and could only stare at Chu You through the door.

Along with Li Yanqing who was standing beside him, they were all blocked outside the door by an invisible force.

If one cannot keep the secret, he will naturally lose the qualification to be the palace guard.

"Chu You, accept him as your disciple."

Chu Wu stood at the door, looking at his brother standing in front of him through the door, and spoke with a pleading tone.

The child was standing next to Chu Wu, with confusion unconcealed in his eyes.

It goes without saying that what is happening before his eyes has already exceeded his understanding.

In fact, Li Yanqing hated Chu Wu.

There is a saying that goes, "A pinch of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge." Li Yanqing had seen Chu Wu's skills before, but this time he couldn't even display one-third of his usual strength.

But looking at Chu Wu who was seriously injured but still wanted to get him out of the encirclement, Li Yanqing really couldn't hate him.

After that moment, Li Yanqing clearly realized that if his strength was not enough, he would not be able to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Chu You didn't agree immediately. He just looked at Li Yanqing and sighed softly, then glanced at his elder brother: "Are you sure?"
