Not only can it improve his physique and enhance his combat abilities, but it can also simulate the effects of internal energy, making it impossible for others to gauge his strength…
He's just a novice in martial arts right now, but he's certain that he can hold his own against even a master of internal energy for a few moves, unlike the perilous situation he faced when confronting Shi Jingtang before!
"Ha ha…"
Carrying his knife, Li Zhu walked out laughing!
When Li Zhu took it upon himself to draw his sword, Wang Yanzhang said nothing, as if it were not a family heirloom of the Wang family. Although Li Zhu was puzzled, he did not think much of it.
"There's going to be some excitement! I'm going to watch!"
Little Dragon Girl said with a bouncy and carefree attitude, as if breaking into the military camp at night was such an interesting thing to her, completely unaware of the dangers involved!
Li Zhu stopped, his face dark, and looked at Xiaolongnu, saying...
"You're too young, you can't go..."
"I'm going! My dad entrusted me to you, but he didn't say you could restrict my freedom. I'm going to see what's going on. Not only am I going, but I'm also taking Qingqing and Yingying with me..."
Little Dragon Girl didn't give him any face at all, and retorted to him without any politeness...
"Qingqing, sob sob, you're not allowed to go..."
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Xiaolongnu, Li Zhu could only try to win over the two women, hoping they would become sensible and obedient!
"Brother Zhu, I really want to go..."
"Brother Zhuzhu, I want to go too..."
What the hell…
Hearing their conversation, Li Zhu realized he had dug himself a huge hole, because he found that he couldn't resist either Wang Riqing's coquettishness or Yuwen Yingying's cuteness...
"All right…"
Li Zhu had no choice but to agree to take them along!
"Yay..."
The three of them spoke happily, like victorious roosters, except that Yuwen Yingying was rather shy and just smiled in response!
Afterwards, Li Zhu and his party headed towards the east city. The Marquis told him that the commander of a thousand men was named Xie Yuanlong, and that he was a direct descendant of the Xie family. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the commander of the Imperial Guard!
It is important to know that the highest position in the Imperial Guard is the Commander, followed by four Deputy Commanders, who are responsible for the defense and patrol of the four directions: east, west, south, and north. Each Deputy Commander has fifteen centurions under his command, totaling 60,000 Imperial Guards!
There were only a handful of commanders, and the powerful families in Luoyang were countless. To even secure a commander's position was incredibly difficult...
At this moment, Xie Yuanlong was unaware of the impending doom, still engrossed in drinking and merrymaking in the military camp. Meanwhile, the Second Prince and the Third Prince were the first to learn of the news…
Fine wrinkles appeared between the Third Prince's delicate eyebrows. The fact that he had wrinkles at such a young age was enough to show how deep his thoughts were!
"When the snipe and the clam fight, shouldn't my second brother step in?"
After the Third Prince finished speaking, he continued to sip his tea and ignored everything else outside!
The second prince, on the other hand, snorted coldly and walked towards the emperor's study without hesitation. He needed to obtain an imperial edict; otherwise, he would have no legitimate reason to act…
"Father, I request an audience!"
As soon as the second prince arrived at the door of the imperial study, he shouted loudly, as if afraid that the people inside would not hear him!
"Second Prince, His Majesty already knows the purpose of your visit. He will not interfere in this matter, so please return..."
Eunuch Wei came out of the Imperial Study, spoke to the Second Prince who was kneeling outside, then went back inside, closed the door, and did not give the Second Prince the opportunity to have an audience!
"Father, the Crown Prince has acted recklessly, trespassing into the military camp. This is a capital offense. Are you going to ignore this?"
The second prince knew his father was inside and could hear him, so he knelt outside and roared loudly. He refused to give up. If there was an imperial decree this time, he would definitely be able to trample the crown prince underfoot and regain all the face he had lost these past two days…
However, there was no response from the Imperial Study for a long time, and even Eunuch Wei did not come out to give a reply. This made the Second Prince somewhat frustrated. However, time was of the essence. Even without an imperial edict, he had to use the incident of breaking into the camp to turn the tables on Li Zhu!
Helpless, the second prince could only bow and kowtow before turning and leaving…
"The second son is gone?"
The emperor asked with a worried expression!
"Yes, having received no response from you, the Second Prince has already left..."
Eunuch Wei replied respectfully!
"This second son is too impatient. Some things can't be rushed. This time, I'm afraid..."
The Emperor didn't continue, but both of them understood what he meant. With the advantage of having both inner and outer marquises, Li Zhu was not so easy to deal with, especially since he also had an intelligence system that was even more powerful than that of the inner and outer marquises...
Judging from the information coming back from various sources, Li Zhu has recently come into contact with several figures whom even the Emperor fears, which is enough to show that Li Zhu possesses unimaginable power...
The Second Prince had just returned to his residence when he immediately gathered his men and rushed toward the military camp in the east of the city, intending to prove Li Zhu's crimes!
Meanwhile, Li Zhu and his group had arrived at the military camp, and their group looked rather strange!
Li Zhu walked at the front, carrying a knife, as if he had his own background music. His domineering appearance and arrogant demeanor made him seem like he didn't care about anyone else. Next to him was Wang Yanzhang, who was carrying a gun. He looked majestic and imposing, like a god of war descending!
But what's strange is what's behind them: two beautiful women with completely different temperaments, with a little girl in between, which immediately diminishes the imposing aura they created!
"who?"
The guards saw someone approaching and immediately asked warily!
However, their eyes lit up immediately when they saw Yuwen Yingying and Wang Riqing…
Having been cooped up in the military camp all day, surrounded by a bunch of rough, uncouth men, they'd never seen such beautiful women before, so Li Zhu and Wang Yanzhang, walking ahead of them, were automatically ignored…
Li Zhu sighed helplessly. He shouldn't have brought them along; it ruined his chance to show off. He was trying to project an imposing aura, but the two people behind him stole the show...
Li Zhu could hear the commotion from afar inside the military camp. The main tent was brightly lit, and the sounds of clinking glasses and laughing women could be heard constantly. It was clear that these soldiers had fallen into depravity…
Thinking of a great leader who led the people to overthrow dictatorship before I traveled back in time, he once said that we cannot be defeated by sugar-coated bullets, but once people have power and comfortable material conditions, it is very difficult to maintain their original intentions...
This group of soldiers before us is a perfect example. The new Tang Dynasty has only just conquered the world, yet these soldiers are already lax in their military preparedness and only know how to indulge in pleasure...
Why is it so difficult to stabilize a regime after a period of chaos? The biggest problem is the arrogant and unruly generals and the unruly and unruly soldiers who are difficult to manage!
They acquired everything through war; without war, they would lose their biggest source of income…
