Chapter 502 Night Raid

Ning Zhuo's face was as gloomy as water.

Although he and Mulan became husband and wife, it was just a political marriage and had no practical connection.

It has been kept secret from the public all along, and only a few people at the time knew about it.

This is a righteous tacit understanding.

Ning Zhuo was not surprised that Shuangling knew about this. After all, she was from the royal family, so it was normal for her to know the inside story.

But at this moment, in public, she actually revealed this secret.

Shuangling broke this tacit understanding of the right path, which was undoubtedly a serious provocation.

Ning Zhuo stared at Shuang Ling.

Shuang Ling sneered: "Little kid, is this the family education of your Ning family? I am the princess of Liangzhu Country, a Yuanying cultivator, and your elder. You are too rude."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "I am from Nandou. This time I responded to the call of your king to uphold the righteous path and fight against the evil cultivators in Qianfeng Forest."

"I have always felt that the two monarchs were respectful to the wise and humble, which was a model for monarchs. But today, I got a different feeling from the princess."

"How can you, as a princess, be so aggressive towards a junior like me?"

"Is this the attitude of the two countries towards the independent cultivators who participated in the war?"

Shuangling's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Ning Zhuo put a big accusation on her right from the start, making her noble status become a weakness.

The Lord of Canglin Immortal City saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Shuang Ling laughed and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "You are quite interesting, little guy. The battlefield is dangerous. I hope I can see you again after this war."

Shuang Ling was not good at speaking and was hit by Ning Zhuo. She followed the steps offered by the Lord of Canglin Fairy City and sat down slowly, no longer entangled with Ning Zhuo.

Although she did not have any subsequent verbal confrontation, she repeatedly competed with Ning Zhuo in subsequent auctions.

Whenever Ning Zhuo took a fancy to a mechanical device, she would buy it at a high price, using her power to pressure others, and her hostility was quite obvious.

So much so that by the end of the auction, Ning Zhuo had gained very little.

"I'm a little angry." Ning Zhuo said to Mulan on the way back.

Mulan pondered and said, "After all, she is a well-known figure in the royal family. Princess Jiqiao is famous throughout the country and is a big signboard among the royal family's Yuanying stage."

"There's no need to compete with her. We've suffered too much."

Mulan was not willing to support Ning Zhuo.

Although Shuangling pointed out her and Ning Zhuo's marital relationship and broke the tacit understanding of the righteous path, Mulan didn't care too much.

On the one hand, she was educated by General Mu since she was a child and was loyal to both countries. On the other hand, she didn't care about her reputation in this regard. Deep down in her heart, she wanted her relationship with Ning Zhuo to be exposed and confirm her relationship with him.

Mulan would be very happy if Ning Zhuo's engagement with the royal family of Nandou Kingdom was destroyed and he was tied up in General Mu's mansion.

The longer Mulan spent with Ning Zhuo, the more interested she became in him.

"Uncle Zhang is much older than me and has a good eye for people. He knew Ning Zhuo was my ideal husband."

Ning Zhuo is young and rich, with an extraordinary level of Five Elements and mastery of many mechanisms. Although he has only foundation-building cultivation, he has powerful Jindan-level combat power.

Mulan saw Ning Zhuo's strategy and interpersonal skills, as well as his ability to complete his duties quickly as the military advisor in the Three Generals' Camp.

"Those three roughnecks in the Third Generals' Camp need Ning Zhuo to keep accounts and settle accounts. Don't my Red Flower Camp need them too?"

Mulan plotted against Ning Zhuo.

After Ning Zhuo tried it out for a while, he immediately understood Mulan's intention and stopped talking.

The two remained silent along the way. After leaving the city gate, Ning Zhuo immediately parted ways and went back to the Three Generals Camp to sleep.

In the following days, he focused on training his troops and then practiced.

In his spare time, Ning Zhuo went back to the fairy city to buy up the mechanical pedestals, only to find that they were all bought by the Princess of Mechanical Skill.

"Uncle-in-law! Uncle-in-law from the General's Mansion, congratulations on your old age!"

"Master Ning, please take a seat."

"Master Ning, my master has prepared a feast of wine and food in the restaurant, please come and enjoy it."

With the exposure of Ning Zhuo and Mulan's marital relationship, Ning Zhuo's every move in the Fairy City has attracted great attention.

Ning Zhuo had to disguise his identity and try to make purchases.

In the end, I still didn't buy the machine base.

Shuangling used her status to force all the shops to buy all these platforms.

"This is too much. Xiaozhuo, maybe it's time for us, the 'Old Monster in the Stone' to take action!" Sun Lingtong felt very indignant on behalf of Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo shook his head and thought calmly, "The clever princess Shuangling is also good at group exercises. She came to Canglin Fairy City in a hurry, and Shuangjing didn't know about it."

"Now that he has arrived in the Immortal City, he has been buying up all kinds of materials and all the mechanical platforms. It is obvious that he is actively preparing for war."

"Suppressing us is just a side effect."

"Since she is the princess of the two countries, she must know more information. Perhaps, the day when we will be on the front line again is not far away."

Ning Zhuo's analysis is not wrong.

The day when the rear army set out was much earlier than he expected.

Just three days later, a military order was issued, and that night the rear army set out again.

During the march, all the military camps marched in formation, being extremely cautious. At the slightest sign of trouble, they would immediately stop and prepare for battle. It can be seen that the last ambush had left a huge psychological shadow on many people.

Everything was calm during this march.

The Golden Halberd Army, Red Flower Camp, Barbarian Demon Camp, White Jade Camp, Three Generals Camp and Fire Cloud Camp all successfully arrived at the central army’s garrison - Mulun Town.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Du Tiechuan, commander-in-chief of the three armies of the two states, summoned various generals in batches.

When it was the turn of the three generals' camp, Du Tiechuan personally ordered the military advisor Ning Zhuo to come and see them.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo, together with Liu, Guan and Zhang, came into close contact with Du Tiechuan, a great monk at the level of God Transformation.

Du Tiechuan was thin, with sharp features, sharp eyebrows, and a deep and calm gaze. His skin was slightly pale. He wore a silver hair crown, a gray-green robe, and silver armor, showing his toughness.

After Liu, Guan, Zhang and Ning resigned, Du Tiechuan hummed and cast his eyes on Ning Zhuo.

He said, "Mr. Ning Zhuo, please take a seat."

Liu, Guan and Zhang looked respectful, only Liu Er raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ning Zhuo thanked him and half sat on the chair, putting his hands on his thighs and sitting upright.

The status of military advisor and the Ning family are not enough to make a great cultivator of the God Transformation level and the commander-in-chief of the three armies treat him with such courtesy.

The key is the identity of Mulan's husband and the son-in-law of General Mu's mansion! Du Tiechuan encouraged the four people and let them leave.

On their way back, Liu, Guan, and Zhang Ning used their spiritual consciousness to communicate and discuss their respective views on Du Tiechuan.

Liu Er was absent-minded.

He couldn't help thinking that Ning Zhuo was treated so politely because he became Mulan's husband. But according to the king's order, he should be Mulan's real husband! Thinking of this, Liu Er felt very uncomfortable, and occasionally glanced at Ning Zhuo with a few cold eyes.

Ning Zhuo returned to his own tent and began his daily practice, moving the cultivation of his three dantians and cultivating precious medicines.

At midnight, the alarm bell suddenly rang, echoing throughout the entire Mulun Town.

"Enemy attack!"

"This bell means that the enemy is coming!"

"And he's a strong enemy!!"

The various armies responded immediately, and from this moment it became clear which army was the best trained.

There is no doubt that the Red Flower Camp took the lead, but the gap with the second-place Golden Halberd Army was not big.

Ning Zhuo immediately interrupted his practice, ran out of the tent, and reunited with the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

They acted earlier than Ning Zhuo, each riding on a war horse and already mobilizing the army.

Ning Zhuo's mechanical army is much more convenient than living people, and can be carried around.

But at this moment, Ning Zhuo decided to integrate into the army of the three generals first, judge the real enemy situation, and then make other decisions.

After waiting for a while, the scout came back and reported that there was no sign of any enemy troops around.

“Is it a false alarm?”

Just as I was thinking this, the military order came down.

The content of the military order was too explosive. In order to avoid shocking the military morale, only generals and important senior officials were informed of it.

"What? Coach Du Tiechuan was ambushed and is now seriously injured?!"

"Who did it?"

"Master Shengxu?!"
