Lu Hongyi, dressed in red, stood on the city wall of Long'an City, watching the Mighty Tiger Army rushing away in a cloud of dust.
A strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Could this be what that kid meant by 'the best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting'?"
Jiang Yan blinked his eyes and suddenly sent a message to a nearby Imperial Guard: "Go quickly..."
After just two words, Lu Hongyi said calmly: "Jiang Yan, I suddenly feel that you are only suitable for guarding the tomb."
Jiang Yan definitely didn't dare to transmit the message again, but his face was full of horror. He didn't expect that even his message would be discovered by the young lady.
With a bitter look on his face, he said, "Miss, this old servant wants the Imperial Guard to notify His Majesty to come and welcome you, Miss."
Lu Hongyi looked at Jiang Yan, her face devoid of any anger. Instead, she said something that made Jiang Yan even more apprehensive: "I've only been following that brat for a few days, and I've learned quite a few unorthodox things!"
Jiang Yan was about to kneel down and apologize, but Lu Hongyi waved his hand. "I remember you weren't very optimistic about Chen An before. Why did you suddenly change your attitude? Is it just because he's the successor of the Conferred God Technique? Or is it because he's a treasure?"
Jiang Yan hurriedly spoke, "Miss, I was short-sighted in the past, and I feel guilty about it. I truly deserve death. The reason I changed my opinion of Your Majesty was not because of the Conferred God Technique, nor was it because of a treasure."
"Tell me about it." Lu Hongyi's tone was calm, without a trace of worldly air.
"First, I've discovered during these days of following His Majesty that His Majesty may seem to be acting without purpose and without discipline, but even when he's playing games, he seems to be able to control everything. Compared to His Majesty's wisdom and strategy, His Majesty's powerful cultivation seems insignificant."
"And then?" Lu Hongyi said calmly.
"Secondly, my lady, I am your servant, and your Majesty is your husband. Naturally, I am loyal to you and your Majesty. Moreover, my lady has your Majesty's support, and with your support, even overthrowing the Tianyue Dynasty wouldn't be a difficult task."
"Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart, please understand. However... in order for Your Majesty to assist me with peace of mind, you need to be a little nicer to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Yan bravely said what he should and shouldn't say, but every word was sincere and honest, and his expression was tragic. Jiang Yan had already prepared for the worst-case scenario of being punished to guard the tomb.
Lu Hongyi didn't say anything, and Jiang Yan was even more nervous, wondering if guarding the tomb was a light punishment!
However, Lu Hongyi's sight fell on a person lying in the dust after the army withdrew.
"Go and see whether he is dead or alive." Lu Hongyi suddenly gave the order while looking into the distance.
"Yes!" Several divine guards quickly rushed out of Long'an Town.
Then, Lu Hongyi suddenly turned around, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "If he behaves well, then this lady will treat him better!"
…
In the garrison, Xing'er rested her chin on her hands, opened her big watery eyes, and looked curiously at Chen An across the table.
Xing'er seemed to see a money-grubber, staring at his own mountain of gold and silver with burning eyes!
Xing'er suddenly felt that just looking at Chen An was very interesting.
At this moment, Chen An placed four thousand-year-old elixirs, four bottles of Bailing Pills, and one thousand-year-old dragon pill on the table.
Admiring the faint halo and spiritual charm emanating from the ten thousand year old elixir and the thousand year old dragon pill, I feel a bit obsessed and even a bit intoxicated.
This was the spoils he had reaped. He had consumed those thousand-year-old elixirs one by one, and there wasn't much left. His Xuanli cultivation hadn't increased much, but his physique had improved significantly.
Although he has not yet reached the realm of Xuan Gang Treasure Body, Chen An believes that as long as he keeps chewing the thousand-year-old elixir, it is only a matter of time before he can condense the Xuan Gang Treasure Body.
But suddenly he thought of something, and Chen An became disappointed again, feeling a little depressed!
"That old fellow Huangfu Zhang took out so much so easily, he must have quite a bit more at home! What a pity... he actually ran away!"
Chen An's face was full of regret. If Huangfu Zhang had stayed for a few more days, he would definitely be able to get some things. At least, that Chu Mo could be exchanged for a thousand-year-old elixir!
Xing'er, who had been staring blankly at Chen An with wide eyes, suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, you're taking so many thousand-year-old elixirs, aren't you afraid of damaging your body? I've heard that some people burst because their bodies couldn't handle the effects of taking so many thousand-year-old elixirs."
Chen An said with arrogance: "That's someone else. Don't you see who I am? I can't eat too much. I've tried. Three portions a day at most. Otherwise, I won't be able to absorb it all and it will be a waste."
While Chen An was intoxicated, he was about to take out the Bailing Pill to try and see if it worked.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew in, blocking the light from the door.
Even though Chen An didn't look up, he knew who was coming.
Lu Hongyi had already walked in and was looking at the things on the table with interest.
Chen An suddenly thought of Xing'er grabbing her chest with her hands. Chen An swallowed and subconsciously moved his gaze from Lu Hongyi's beautiful face to a certain place below.
But I feel a little depressed. I can't remember anything at that time, and I don't know what it was... feeling!
"Chen An, are these the things you got from Huangfu Zhang?" Lu Hongyi had already reached out and picked up a three-foot-long thousand-year-old elixir, her beautiful eyes shining with a strange light.
Chen An was feeling annoyed and nodded subconsciously: "That's right, Huangfu Zhang is a rich guy!"
"You knew I was coming? Take out all the things." Lu Hongyi lowered her head slightly, and with her other little hand, she picked up the Millennium Dragon Pill.
I put it in front of my eyes and looked at it with great interest.
Chen An withdrew his gaze, but was a little confused, as if he didn't quite understand what Lu Hongyi meant.
But... thinking that Huangfu Zhang had run away, it would take some time for him to get the thousand-year-old elixir, and he would have to rely on this woman to provide him with food in the future.
He grinned but said insincerely, "Yes, I knew my wife was coming, so I specially asked people to prepare wine and food to celebrate our Fengshen Sect's victory, the capture of Linfeng City, and the scaring off of King Tianwu!"
"You are quite thoughtful!" Lu Hongyi raised her eyes and looked at Chen An with a look of satisfaction.
It's so strange that this woman is actually praising herself!
The sun rises from the west?
It’s simply... Chen An couldn’t believe his ears!
However, Chen An was quite happy to receive the compliment: "Of course, you are my wife, so as a husband... I must be considerate."
Lu Hongyi suddenly raised her beautiful eyes, a glint in them. "This time, you didn't send a single soldier, forcing Huangfu Zhang to flee. Is this the supreme military strategy you told me about? The best strategy is to defeat the enemy's plans, to conquer them without fighting?"
Chen An was flattered by the compliment. He puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Of course I've read four great military books and have a lot of knowledge in my head. Even if the emperor comes, let alone Huangfu Zhang, it won't be a big deal!"
Lu Hongyi seemed to be in a good mood. Her eyes fell on the thousand-year-old elixir and the elixir on the table again. Her face was filled with a beautiful smile that was as beautiful as a flower and made people's heart beat.
