Chapter 1001: Complete Annihilation Editor: Henyee Translations

The two people in the room were enjoying themselves, but amidst the playfulness, Li Hongtang was discussing serious matters.

“You’ve been with the old man for a while now. Do you know where he keeps the military seal?”

Wen Baoyu blushed. “The King won’t let me near such things. I’ve tried to probe several times, but he sternly rebuked me.”

“Aren’t you favored by the old man? Why is he still so guarded against you?” Li Hongtang reproached, frustrated by her inability to leverage her beauty.

“Second Prince, I’ve done my best.” Wen Baoyu pouted slightly, displeased by Li Hongtang’s complaint.

Li Hongtang pressed Wen Baoyu down, gently caressing her cheek. “Alright, alright. I know you’ve tried. But next time, don’t be so formal when you ask. Speak like you are now. The old man is old; he’s easily persuaded.”

“I’ll try next time.” Wen Baoyu thought to herself that the Second Prince seemed unreliable.

“Good girl.” Li Hongtang smiled and swiftly tore off Wen Baoyu’s clothes…

Soon, sounds of passion filled the room.

Chu Tang silently retreated, no longer interested in eavesdropping. He moved to the quiet lakeside, pondering their conversation. They were after the military seal!

Jinghong mentioned that Li Hongtang secretly sent silver to the Second Prince of Chen’an to support his bid for the throne. Now, seeking the military seal seemed to confirm a plot to incite a coup. Was the distance not an issue?

However, if one was determined, distance wouldn’t matter.

Why did the Second Prince choose to support Chen’an’s prince? It was perplexing!

Chu Tang couldn’t figure it out for now.

After a pause, Chu Tang flew towards the King of the eastern border’s room to see what he was up to.

The King of the eastern border seemed to be doing nothing out of the ordinary, just sleeping in his room.

Thinking about the King sleeping while his consort and second son were fooling around made Chu Tang feel a bit sorry for him.

Realizing he wouldn’t gain any more useful information tonight, Chu Tang left the royal residence.

Chu Tang returned to the Tao residence, where Zeng Huo, who had been absent, reappeared. “I’ve just received news that the Fifth Elder is personally leading an ambush to kill Meng Shengdong.”

Meng Shengdong was currently destroying the Yun Organization’s opium poppies. Chu Tang, who had exchanged information with Tang Jinghong, asked, “Where is Meng Shengdong now?”

Zeng Huo, who kept tabs on various sources, knew everything. “Near Gaoyun Village in Gao County, Shucheng.”

Chu Tang asked, “When is the Fifth Elder planning to ambush Meng Shengdong?”

Zeng Huo looked serious. “Tomorrow morning.”

“Let’s go.” Chu Tang walked out of the Tao residence and headed to a teahouse at the edge of a street. It was late at night, and Chu Tang went straight to the manager’s room.

The manager, still awake and reading something, was startled by Chu Tang’s sudden appearance. “Who are you?”

Chu Tang showed the manager his token. “I need a thousand men ready by tomorrow morning.”

The manager, seeing the token, immediately saluted Chu Tang. “They’ll be ready by morning.”

Chu Tang said nothing more and left the teahouse.

He stayed at an inn next to the teahouse, watching the situation. Once the men were gathered, he would lead them to support.

Zeng Huo flew over. “Aren’t you being too cautious?” He had thought Chu Qingzhi would go alone.

Chu Tang replied, “Better safe than sorry.”

Zeng Huo, “…”

Chu Tang sent Zeng Huo away and then messaged Tang Jinghong, “The Fifth Elder is personally leading an ambush to kill Meng Shengdong. Are you aware of this?”

Tang Jinghong responded, “I’ll send reinforcements immediately.”

Chu Tang said, “I’ll also head there early in the morning to capture this Fifth Elder.”

With the Fifth Elder captured, he would have five elders in his hands. Aside from Li Hongyu, there were four more. This might push them to desperation and, most importantly, might reveal Lord Yun.

Tang Jinghong cautioned, “Be careful.”

Before dawn, Chu Tang returned to the teahouse. “Are the thousand men ready?”

The manager respectfully replied, “They’re ready and waiting in the backyard.”

Chu Tang went to the backyard and showed his token. “Everyone, follow me.”

“Yes, sir.”

Under Chu Tang’s leadership, they quickly headed towards Gaoyun Village.

Meanwhile, the Yun Organization’s elders were also preparing. At first light, they set off for Gaoyun Village.

Gaoyun Village.

This area had many opium poppies, a shocking sight. They had arrived yesterday evening and had destroyed a portion. Today, they planned to continue.

If nothing went wrong, they would destroy the entire area today. But Meng Shengdong received news that the Yun Organization’s Fifth Elder was coming to ambush them, so they changed their plan. They would lie in wait and turn the tables on their attackers.

Everyone hid, making the village appear peaceful.

The Fifth Elder indeed led a group to kill Meng Shengdong, unaware that he had been betrayed and that Meng Shengdong knew everything, preparing to catch him off guard.

However, upon arriving, the Fifth Elder found only villagers, not Tang’s men.

Where did it go wrong?

“Attack—” Just as he was pondering, Meng Shengdong signaled, and prepared soldiers charged, surrounding the Fifth Elder and his men, and a fierce battle ensued.

The area quickly became drenched in blood.

Shortly after, Chu Tang arrived with his men. “Capture the Fifth Elder alive!”

“Yes.” A group of assassins charged forward.

Chu Tang didn’t act immediately. He stood on the sidelines, watching.

The Fifth Elder shouted, “Who are you? I have no quarrel with you. Why capture me?”

Chu Tang replied arrogantly, “I capture who I want. No need for explanations.”

The Fifth Elder, “You…”

Chu Tang’s ears twitched. More people were coming?

Scanning with his senses, Chu Tang realized they were Yun Organization members.

What’s going on?

Sensing something amiss, Chu Tang flew over, knocked out the Fifth Elder, and tossed him aside before attacking the Yun Organization members.

With Chu Tang in action, the Yun Organization members were no match and were quickly annihilated.

Chu Tang commanded, “Hide quickly!”

Following his orders, Tang’s soldiers and Chu Tang’s assassins swiftly concealed themselves, leaving only the scent of blood and scattered corpses.

When the Yun Organization reinforcements arrived, they were horrified by the scene. These were some of their best fighters, yet they had been wiped out in their absence.

“Where’s the Fifth Elder?”

“His body isn’t here. He must have been captured.”

This realization tensed the Yun Organization members. They hadn’t even seen their enemies, and the Fifth Elder had already been taken.

Losing a Fifth Elder without gaining anything!

Just then, the sound of dense hoofbeats approached, kicking up a cloud of dust.

“Tang’s troops!”

“Do we engage?”

As they debated, a voice rang out, “You might not have a choice.”

Unbeknownst to them, they were already surrounded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chapter 1002: Shu City Stronghold Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Camp’s soldiers swiftly closed the semicircular gap, trapping the Yun Organization members in the center, leaving them with no escape.

Chu Tang noticed that Tang Jinghong had dispatched the cavalry.

The cavalry was well-armed with swords, crossbows, and bows, and the soldiers were tall and muscular with sharp eyes, indicating formidable combat capability.

Leading the cavalry was Captain Shen, clad in armor and mounted on a large horse. He glared at the Yun Organization members. “You scoundrels spend your days doing nothing but harming the nation and its people. All of you, scoundrels born of dogs, kill them all!”

At his command, the cavalry raised their crossbows and began shooting at the Yun Organization members.

Chu Tang also gave an order, “Kill!”

The area once again became a battlefield filled with the clash of weapons and the stench of blood, lingering for a long time.

This time, the First Elder had sent elite troops to kill Chu Tang, so to minimize casualties on his side, Chu Tang joined the fray.

With a single palm strike, Chu Tang swiftly defeated those around him, causing the Yun Organization members to distance themselves from him in fear.

This person was a monster; a single palm strike could kill. Even if they had ten lives, it wouldn’t be enough.

Even Tang’s soldiers were stunned by this scholarly and refined-looking man’s extraordinary martial arts skills.

Everyone following their general was truly remarkable.

With Chu Tang’s help, the battle ended much faster than expected.

Chu Tang flew out of the crowd and landed beside the unconscious Fifth Elder. “Go back and tell your general that I’m taking the Fifth Elder.”

With that, he lifted the Fifth Elder like a chick and flew away.

Everyone watched his lightning-fast departure in awe. His martial arts were probably at a transcendent level; there was much room for improvement for the rest of them!

Tang Camp.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Captain Shen reported upon returning to the camp, “General, we’ve annihilated two groups of Yun Organization members, but the Fifth Elder was taken by someone.”

Tang Jinghong said, “I arranged that. This matter is now closed.”

Captain Shen saluted, “Yes, General.”

Jiang Zhanglin entered the tent. “General, I wish to depart early for Liang City to gather information so that you will be well-informed upon your arrival.”

Tang Jinghong looked at Jiang Zhanglin. “It’s very dangerous to go to Liang City now. You might lose your life.”

Jiang Zhanglin replied resolutely, “It’s every citizen’s duty to care for the nation’s survival. I’m not afraid.”

“Then go ahead. If you need help, you can go to this place.” Tang Jinghong wrote down a location and a code on a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Zhanglin.

Jiang Zhanglin accepted it with both hands. “Thank you, General.”

Tang Jinghong nodded.

Jiang Zhanglin put the paper away, saluted, and left the tent.

Outside, Yi Chuanchuan waited. “How did it go?”

Jiang Zhanglin, smiling, said, “The General agreed. I’m preparing to leave immediately.”

Yi Chuanchuan eagerly said, “I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Zhanglin looked back at the tent. “You can ask the General. If he agrees, we can go together.”

“Wait for me.” Yi Chuanchuan hurried to the tent.

Jiang Zhanglin resumed packing his things. As soon as he finished, Yi Chuanchuan returned. “The General agreed. I’m coming with you.”

Jiang Zhanglin said, “Then hurry and pack. We’re leaving right away.”

Yi Chuanchuan responded, “Got it.”

Chu Tang returned to the Tao residence, bringing the Fifth Elder to be imprisoned with the others.

Zeng Huo, observing the scene, silently pitied the Yun Organization members. With Chu Qingzhi’s extraordinary abilities, they stood no chance. He was relieved to have surrendered early; otherwise, he’d be long gone.

Chu Tang told Zeng Huo, “Keep an eye on them. I believe Lord Yun will soon make a move.”

Zeng Huo replied solemnly, “I understand.”

A few calm days passed. Then, one day, Mu Xiao arrived at the Tao residence. “I didn’t expect you to be working for Tang Jinghong.”

Chu Tang was sitting in a small pavilion, enjoying some premium cloud tea that Zeng Huo had gathered. He replied nonchalantly, “There are many things you didn’t expect.”

Mu Xiao, careful not to provoke Chu Tang, pulled out a letter from his robe. “This is from Lord Yun.”

Chu Tang took the letter casually. “Why did you deliver it?”

Mu Xiao answered honestly, “Everyone else is afraid of being captured by you.”

Chu Tang chuckled. “Since you’ve come, be prepared not to leave.”

“I know.” Mu Xiao had come to terms with this before arriving, feeling bitter about being used as a pawn by the organization.

Ads by Pubfuture

He thought for a moment. “Do you still need someone to handle tasks?”

Chu Tang raised an eyebrow in surprise. “What do you have in mind?”

Mu Xiao knelt down. “I wish to serve you. I know the Yun Organization well and can take you to their stronghold in Shu City.”

Chu Tang was genuinely surprised. “You turned so quickly.”

Mu Xiao had accepted the reality. With Chu Tang’s presence, they couldn’t win. “I hope to redeem myself and earn your mercy in the future.”

“You’re quite perceptive.” Chu Tang took a sip of tea. “Draw me a map, and I’ll check it out.”

“Yes.” Mu Xiao sat across from Chu Tang and promptly began drawing a map.

Chu Tang opened the letter. “If you stop opposing the Yun Organization, I can promise you a thousand taels of gold and a life of wealth and luxury. Or name your terms, as long as you leave the eastern border.”

Chu Tang clicked his tongue. “Finally losing patience.”

Mu Xiao paused briefly but continued drawing the map.

Chu Tang raised the letter and asked Mu Xiao, “Want to know what’s in the letter?”

Without looking up, Mu Xiao said, “I can guess.”

Chu Tang crushed the letter into ash. “Tell me, then.”

Mu Xiao stopped drawing. “They want you to surrender, or they’ll threaten your family. Or they offer you a fortune to work for them. The Yun Organization’s tactics are quite clichéd.”

Chu Tang said, “Though clichéd, they are effective.”

Mu Xiao didn’t comment. He had joined the Yun Organization under similar circumstances and saw this as a chance for rebirth.

After a while, he finished drawing the map. “Here it is.”

The stronghold was hidden near the market, with a grocery store as its entrance—a mundane yet secretive location.

Seeing Chu Tang’s satisfaction, Mu Xiao couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask you a question?”

Chu Tang nodded. “Go ahead.”

Mu Xiao hesitated. “Did Feiyun really die?”

“Yes, she died. She was killed in the theater when she attempted to assassinate Jinghong. It was a life-or-death situation. If it were you, would you have shown mercy?” Chu Tang wondered if this man was deeply in love with Hong Feiyun.

Chapter 1003: Hands-On

Editor: Henyee Translations

Mu Xiao’s eyes reddened. He had suspected this, but he didn’t want to believe it. “Where is the body?”

Chu Tang said, “I don’t know. I wasn’t responsible for the aftermath.”

Mu Xiao unexpectedly burst into tears, covering his face with his hands, disregarding everything else.

Chu Tang watched him, somewhat taken aback.

Zeng Huo returned to report news and was surprised to see this scene. He hesitated, wondering if Chu Tang had bullied Mu Xiao into tears.

Chu Tang turned his head. “What is it?”

Zeng Huo handed a stack of papers to Chu Tang. “Here is all the information you wanted about the Second Prince.”

Chu Tang took the papers, thinking to himself how he always ended up doing everything himself despite having many people at his disposal. But he liked handling things personally to ensure they were done right and to react quickly to any developments.

He placed the papers on the table and began to read through them carefully.

No one could have guessed why Li Hongtang was helping the Second Prince of Chen’an. It turned out Li Hongtang had feelings for the Second Prince, who had promised that if he ascended to the throne, they would be together.

Chu Tang couldn’t help but laugh at the information. This world truly had all kinds of situations.

Zeng Huo, seeing Chu Tang’s amused expression, couldn’t help but ask, “Is it that funny?”

Chu Tang handed the papers to Zeng Huo. “See for yourself.”

After reading, Zeng Huo was speechless. Another homosexual, and one so deeply in love. “What do we do now?”

Chu Tang thought for a moment. “Go find Li Hongyu.”

“Yes.” Zeng Huo flew off.

Mu Xiao watched Zeng Huo leave and curiously asked, “Why does he listen to you so much?”

Chu Tang countered, “Why do you want to follow me?”

Mu Xiao remained silent but thought to himself that he could get what he wanted by being with Chu Tang.

Chu Tang studied the map. “I’ll check out this place now. If it proves accurate, consider it your pledge of loyalty. I will spare your life in the future.”

Mu Xiao stood and bowed. “Thank you.”

Chu Tang left the Tao residence with the map and headed to the marketplace.

The market was bustling with many people buying and selling, and peddlers moving busily among them.

Chu Tang arrived at a bun shop named “Good Fortune”. “How much for a bun?”

The vendor, a middle-aged man, looked at Chu Tang with a normal expression. “Three wen per bun, young master. How many would you like?”

Chu Tang said, “Two buns and a bowl of porridge to eat here.”

The man warmly welcomed him. “Please, come inside.”

Chu Tang entered the bun shop, which was modest in size but clean, with six tables, three of which were occupied by people having breakfast.

He chose an empty table and sat down. Soon, a waiter brought his order. “Enjoy your meal, young master.”

Ads by Pubfuture

As soon as the utensils were set down, Chu Tang felt several people watching him from upstairs. It seemed Mu Xiao hadn’t lied.

He took a bite, finding the bun and porridge unappetizing. After one taste, he stopped eating and set his chopsticks down. “If you want to watch, do it openly. Why hide in the shadows?”

At these words, the people in the room quickly surrounded him.

“Who are you?” A black-clad youth descended from upstairs, eyes wary.

“Aren’t you looking for me? I’ve come to you voluntarily. You should be pleased.” Chu Tang remained calmly seated, staring at the youth.

“Are you the one who captured several elders?” The youth, speaking, stepped back instead of approaching. He didn’t want to be captured by Chu Tang and become a laughingstock.

“Indeed. I’ve come to meet you.” Chu Tang said playfully.

The youth retreated further, followed by the surrounding men. They lacked the status of the elders and feared being killed rather than captured by Chu Tang.

“Who told you about this location?” The youth gritted his teeth. If he found out who betrayed them, he’d kill that person.

Chu Tang smiled at the youth. “Now I should be asking the questions. If I’m satisfied, I might spare you.”

The youth, unsettled by Chu Tang’s smile, asked, “What do you want?”

Chu Tang asked calmly, “Who are you? What’s your next mission? Where are the elders hiding?”

The youth clenched his fists, compelled to answer. “I’m Gu Mao’an, the First Elder’s son. Everyone’s focused on dealing with you, no specific tasks. As for my father and the others, they’ve gone into hiding; no one knows where.”

“That’s quite an honor.” Chu Tang smiled slightly and then sharply asked, “Does your father value you?”

Gu Mao’an was wary. “What do you want?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What do you think?” Chu Tang moved swiftly, grabbing Gu Mao’an by the collar and flying out of the bun shop. With a few leaps across rooftops, they disappeared from sight.

Ads by Pubfuture

“Chase him, quickly!” The bun shop’s men rushed out but couldn’t find him. They had no choice but to send a message to the First Elder.

Meanwhile, Chu Tang brought Gu Mao’an back to the Tao residence.

“Why did you bring him?” Zeng Huo asked, puzzled.

“He’s the First Elder’s son. The First Elder will surely come to save him.” Chu Tang knocked Gu Mao’an unconscious and tossed him aside.

Zeng Huo felt sympathy for the First Elder. “The First Elder will be furious.”

Mu Xiao thought, “You reap what you sow.”

“That’s not my concern.” Chu Tang dusted off his hands and sat down.

Mu Xiao, observing Chu Tang, thought he should reassess him. The stronghold was heavily guarded, yet Chu Tang had captured someone so easily.

Li Hongyu nudged Gu Mao’an with his foot, gloating. “Didn’t expect this, did you? As the First Elder’s son, you were so high and mighty in the organization.”

Chu Tang said, “Now’s your chance for revenge.”

Li Hongyu, “…”

Chu Tang told Zeng Huo, “They should be informing the First Elder now. Keep an eye on them and report any news immediately.”

“Yes.” Zeng Huo, responsible for Yun Organization’s intelligence, always had the latest information, thanks to Chu Tang.

Li Hongyu sat beside Chu Tang, waving a paper. “Are you sure you’re not joking?”

Chu Tang said, “Why would I joke about this?”

Li Hongyu felt misfortune in the family. “Li Hongtang, always with women, it’s hard to imagine he’s homosexual, and deeply in love at that! Sending silver, wanting the military seal—why doesn’t he aim for the stars?”

Chu Tang said, “Some people are very good at disguising.”

Li Hongyu clenched his fists. “Chu Tang, thank you. I’ll take my leave.”

Chu Tang reminded, “Don’t forget the grain.”

Li Hongyu, a man of his word, said, “It’s already sent to Tang’s camp, don’t worry.”

Chu Tang said, “Good.”

Chapter 1004: The Snake is Out of Its Hole

Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Tang informed Tang Jinghong about the stronghold, and Tang Jinghong immediately sent troops to raid it. They seized 3,000 kilos of grain, 500 large knives, and over 200 kilos of medicinal herbs—a substantial haul.

In a heavily guarded room, the First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder sat with grim and heavy expressions, the atmosphere oppressively tense.

The First Elder, thinking of his captured son, felt increasingly burdened. “What should we do next?”

The Second Elder sighed helplessly. “The opponent is too strong…”

The Third Elder glanced at the others, angered. “We must find a way to deal with this person, or we’ll lose face entirely.”

They were now hiding, unable to go out, with their comrades captured by the enemy.

The Fourth Elder agreed with the Third Elder. “We can’t let this continue, or we won’t be able to live peacefully, let alone maintain the organization.”

The First Elder looked at them. “Do you have any ideas? As long as we can rescue Gu Mao’an and deal with the enemy, I’ll cooperate.”

The others fell silent.

After a while, the Second Elder asked, “Do we know any of their weaknesses?”

The Third Elder added, “Before we find their weaknesses, we should identify who they are. Only then can we effectively deal with them.”

The Fourth Elder agreed. “But we only know their name and nothing else. How do we investigate?”

Ads by Pubfuture

The First Elder said, “We need to find a way.”

The three turned to the First Elder, reluctant to take risks themselves, leaving the First Elder to take the lead.

Seeing this, the First Elder felt powerless. Whether in marriage or friendship, everyone looks out for themselves in times of trouble. “Fine, I’ll handle this.”

The three elders sighed in relief, preferring to avoid capture and leaving the First Elder to bear the burden.

The First Elder wrote a letter in his study and sent it through a monkey to his trusted confidant—caution had reached this level. The confidant would then deliver it to Chu Tang.

In wartime, emissaries are not harmed. Chu Tang didn’t trouble the First Elder’s confidant but did ask a few questions.

Learning that the First Elder used a monkey to send messages left him speechless—such extreme precautions?

Chu Tang opened the letter, which read: “Who are you? What do you want? But no matter who you are or what you want, if you release Gu Mao’an, you can name your terms.”

After reading, he handed the letter to Zeng Huo. “Take a look.”

Zeng Huo read it and couldn’t help but laugh. “The First Elder has become so humble. He used to be so arrogant.”

Chu Tang said, “Times change. You’ll get your chance to be arrogant later.”

Zeng Huo folded the letter. “What’s next?”

“I’ll write a reply to the First Elder.” Since the snake was out of its hole, he intended to capture it. Chu Tang went to the study and wrote on a piece of paper: “We will meet soon.”

He handed the letter to Zeng Huo. “Give this to the emissary.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Yes.” Zeng Huo took the letter and left.

Chu Tang summoned two parrots. “Follow the letter bearer. When you find the First Elder, return and report to me. Oh, and there might be a monkey involved. Pay attention.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Got it.” The parrots flapped their wings and flew away.

The confidant, sweating nervously, left the Tao residence and hurried back.

The parrots followed him, observing as he moved through a house and then into a bamboo grove, where he handed the letter to a waiting monkey.

The confidant checked his surroundings, ensuring no one followed, and breathed a sigh of relief. Mission accomplished.

Unbeknownst to him, the parrots watched from a tree.

The monkey took the letter and ventured deeper into the forest. Eventually, an impressive estate came into view. “So, this is the place.”

Perched on a tree, the parrots saw the monkey deliver the letter to an elderly man and then flew back to report.

Chu Tang, upon hearing their report, chuckled. Did they think hiding in the remote mountains would keep him from finding them? They underestimated him!

The First Elder opened the letter and read its single sentence, leaving him uneasy. He burned the letter in agitation, hoping to find some peace.

After burning the letter, the First Elder paced his room anxiously. What should he do? Chu Tang would eventually find them. What should he do?

He needed to find a new hiding place quickly.

But what about Gu Mao’an? Should he abandon his son? The First Elder felt torn, unable to make a right decision, overwhelmed with conflicting thoughts.

The Second Elder entered. “First Elder, our stronghold at the Shu City market was raided. Everyone was captured, and all our supplies were taken.”

The First Elder felt a wave of despair. “Who did this?”

The Second Elder sighed. “Tang Jinghong.”

The First Elder was confused. “How did he know about our stronghold?”

The Second Elder shook his head. “I don’t know. I’ve sent someone to investigate. We should have news soon.”

The First Elder, troubled, suddenly thought of someone. “Where is Mu Xiao?”

The Second Elder frowned. “He didn’t return after delivering the letter to Chu Tang. Could he have betrayed us?”

The First Elder said, “Betraying us would endanger his family’s lives. He wouldn’t dare.” Little did he know, Mu Xiao had indeed betrayed them, exploiting their assumptions.

The Second Elder still doubted Mu Xiao. “If he did betray us, how did Tang Jinghong know?”

The First Elder, worried, said, “What’s important now is to protect our other strongholds.”

“With the stronghold raided, how do we protect them?” The Second Elder said. “We can only raise their alert levels. But Tang Jinghong has left Shu City for Liang City. Shu City is safe for now.”

The First Elder nodded. “But we must closely monitor Tang Jinghong. If this continues, our Yun Organization will crumble without a fight.”

The Second Elder agreed. “You’re right.”

They seemed to have overlooked Chu Tang!

Chu Tang gave the parrots some caterpillars to eat and then had them lead him to the First Elder.

Following the parrots, Chu Tang entered the forest, venturing deeper until he noticed a group of people. What were so many people doing in the deep mountains?

He decided to follow them. The First Elder could wait—he wouldn’t escape.

Silently, Chu Tang followed.

The group headed deeper into the forest, their purpose unclear for now.

Chapter 1005: Mission Failure

Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Tang observed his surroundings and flew up to a peak for a better vantage point.

From above, he saw people transporting boxes with horse-drawn carts toward a large mountain. After reaching the foot of the mountain, they seemed to vanish into thin air.

Chu Tang descended to the spot where they disappeared. Facing the mountain, he saw moss growing on the rocky surface with no visible cracks or entrance.

He tapped the mountain behind him. It was solid rock. “Doesn’t seem like there’s an entrance here. It must be somewhere else.”

Scanning the area, he noticed unusual markings on the ground. Nearby, a pile of large stones was surrounded by trampled grass.

Chu Tang’s eyes swept over the stones. The area didn’t seem suitable for hiding people, so the entrance had to be beneath the stones. The largest stone seemed the most likely.

He extended his senses beneath the stone and found the entrance.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone, he delved deeper with his senses.

He discovered an underground complex, a large but grim place where many people were making drugs. Judging by the soot on the walls, this operation had been running for a long time.

The group he had followed was loading goods—clearly, these were drugs, probably the infamous “Immortal Ointment.”

Anger flared in Chu Tang. These people deserved death for ruining countless lives. None of them should be spared.

He pushed the stone aside and entered the underground complex, drawing his dagger and killing everyone he encountered.

Ads by Pubfuture

These people deserved no sympathy. Considering how many lives they had destroyed, a quick death was too lenient.

After eliminating everyone, he used a fire spell to destroy everything, leaving only a few horses.

Chu Tang removed the saddles and other restraints from the horses, setting them free. They were the only innocents here.

With a light stomp, Chu Tang caused the ground to quake, collapsing the underground structure and burying the evidence of the crimes within.

Perched on a nearby tree, he watched the chaos subside before flying away.

Following the parrots, Chu Tang arrived at the First Elder’s hideout. Surrounded by scenic mountains and rivers, he thought, “Even while fleeing, they insist on comfort.”

In the short time he observed, many people moved in and out of the mountain estate. Chu Tang smiled, “Let’s see how many elders I can catch this time.”

He intercepted a messenger, took the letter, and opened it.

The letter read: “50,000 taels of silver are stored in the south warehouse, loaded on carts and ready. When should we move them, First Elder?”

This letter was significant. Chu Tang smiled and destroyed the letter before heading toward the estate.

The First Elder, in his study, was fretting over a letter when he heard the door open but didn’t look up.

Chu Tang, disguised as a subordinate, said, “First Elder, there’s an issue at the south warehouse.”

The First Elder glanced up, seeing nothing amiss. “What issue?”

“It’s about the silver. They need you to come.” Chu Tang thought, “Will this get the First Elder to leave the estate?” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ads by Pubfuture

The First Elder frowned. “Is it serious?”

“I don’t know.” Chu Tang noted the First Elder’s hesitation. He expected the First Elder to rescue his son, Gu Mao’an, but the First Elder seemed more concerned with organizational matters.

The First Elder sighed, rubbing his temples. “Tell your master to handle it.”

“I need to leave?” Chu Tang pressed, “Will the First Elder really not go?”

“What’s wrong with you? I said no. Now leave,” the First Elder said irritably.

“Alright then.” Chu Tang stepped forward, grabbed the First Elder by the collar, and flew out the window.

The First Elder was too shocked to react initially. When he did, they were already far from the estate. “You…”

He was interrupted by shouts from the pursuers. “Stop! Who are you? Put the First Elder down!”

Chu Tang turned, waved his hand, and unleashed a gust of wind that sent the pursuers flying back, severely injuring them.

Seeing Chu Tang’s overwhelming strength, the First Elder felt a wave of helplessness. He was captured. “How did you find this place?”

Chu Tang smiled. “Your monkey led me here.”

The First Elder, “…”

He sighed internally at his miscalculation.

The result was inevitable—the First Elder was taken to the Tao residence and imprisoned with the other elders and his son.

Ads by Pubfuture

The Second, Third, and Fourth Elders grew increasingly anxious. With the First Elder captured, they knew they had to hide well.

Learning how the First Elder was captured only heightened their fear.

Chu Tang spared the pursuers to pressure the remaining elders. Under stress, they would act, giving him a chance to capture them.

Lord Yun, too, learned of the First Elder’s capture. For the first time, he felt troubled.

Who was Chu Tang, and why did he oppose him at every turn? In his frustration, he sent another letter to Chu Tang.

This time, it was delivered by Hong Feiyu.

Hong Feiyu, accepting her role as a pawn, felt more at ease, having secretly collaborated with Chu Tang before.

“Do you need help here?” Facing the choice of serving Chu Tang or dying, she chose to serve.

Chu Tang raised an eyebrow. “We need someone to clean and cook. Are you up for it?”

“Better than dying.” Hong Feiyu accepted her new role, managing Chu Tang’s household chores.

Chu Tang remained noncommittal.

He opened the letter from Lord Yun. “What will it take for you to accept my terms?”

Chu Tang thought for a moment, then wrote, “Let me meet you. If I see you, I’ll stop.”

Killing Lord Yun would dismantle the Yun Organization, so naturally, he would stop.

Chu Tang personally delivered the letter to a Yun Organization stronghold in Shu City, asking them to pass it to their elusive leader.

Again, he had the parrots follow.

However, the enemy was extremely cautious, sending multiple people out from the stronghold. The parrots, unsure whom to follow, chose randomly and ended up following the wrong person.

“Sorry, Qingzhi.” The parrots felt guilty; this was their first mission failure.

Chu Tang patted their heads, comforting them. “You did well. If it were easy, Lord Yun wouldn’t have built such a vast organization.”

Chapter 1006: A Pure White Lotus

Editor: Henyee Translations

The parrots were somewhat comforted. “We’ll try harder next time.”

Chu Tang reassured them, “It’s not your fault. They’re just very cunning.”

Determined to make amends, the parrots said, “Qingzhi, we’ll continue to monitor them. If we notice anything unusual, we’ll report to you immediately.”

Chu Tang instructed, “Go ahead, but be careful. Don’t expose yourselves.”

The parrots flew away.

That night, under a dark and windy sky, a beautiful and elegantly dressed woman stood under a hibiscus tree in a secluded garden of the royal mansion, her eyes slightly downcast, lost in thought.

Soon, the Third Prince, Li Hongye, dressed in a plain robe, approached quietly. His gaze lingered on the woman with obvious infatuation. “Baoyu.”

Wen Baoyu looked up at the sound of his voice, smiling. “Hongye.”

Li Hongye looked around, then stepped forward to embrace her. “Baoyu, I’ve missed you so much.”

Originally, Wen Baoyu was the woman he loved. Just before he planned to ask the King of the eastern border for her hand in marriage, he learned that his father intended to marry Wen Baoyu himself, thus losing the woman he loved. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Baoyu gently pushed him away, feigning shyness. “This is the royal mansion. Be careful of being seen.”

Li Hongye quickly restrained his affection. “I lost control.”

Wen Baoyu smiled sweetly. Li Hongye was still as infatuated with her as ever. “Next time, we can meet somewhere more private.”

Her suggestive words made Li Hongye’s head spin. “Whatever you say.”

Wen Baoyu stroked Li Hongye’s face, feigning concern. “You’ve lost weight. You’ve been working hard.”

Li Hongye shook his head. “Anything for you. I don’t feel it’s hard at all.”

Wen Baoyu’s smile was soft and gentle. “In this royal mansion, I am alone and helpless, living each day like a year. Only you truly care for me.”

Li Hongye immediately promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.”

Wen Baoyu looked at him with trust. “Hongye, I believe you.”

“Baoyu, did you call me here for something important?” They had agreed to meet only for important matters, maintaining distance otherwise to avoid suspicion.

“Yes.” Wen Baoyu lowered her voice. “Have you heard of Chu Tang?”

Chu Tang had recently wreaked havoc on the Yun Organization, almost paralyzing it. As the Third Elder of the organization, Li Hongye knew this better than anyone. “Why do you mention him?”

Wen Baoyu emphasized, “I want him to work for us.”

Indeed, Chu Tang was a formidable force. If they could recruit him, they would have no trouble seizing the throne from the King of the eastern border. “I agree. I’ll take care of it immediately.”

Wen Baoyu feigned sincerity, holding Li Hongye’s hand. “I wish you success.”

Li Hongye lifted her chin and kissed her. “I won’t disappoint you. Wait for my good news.”

Wen Baoyu smiled warmly at him. “I’ll be waiting.”

Shortly after, Chu Tang learned that Li Hongye wanted to recruit him.

Zeng Huo stood by. “You are both a coveted ally and a nightmare for some. There’s no one else in the world as paradoxical as you.”

Chu Tang ate a candy. “Your statement shows you’ve met few people. The world is full of extraordinary individuals. Stay humble.”

Zeng Huo replied, “Indeed, but knowing you feels like knowing many.”

Chu Tang looked up. “Why are you flattering me today?”

Zeng Huo hurriedly said, “I’m just being honest. Don’t misunderstand.”

Chu Tang waved him off. “Go keep an eye on the Third Prince. See what he’s planning.”

“Yes.” Zeng Huo saluted and left.

The next evening, Li Hongye arranged to meet Chu Tang at Piaoxiang Courtyard, the largest brothel in Shu City.

The air was thick with perfume, and scantily clad women moved seductively among the male guests, their flirtatious glances enticing.

The madam greeted them. “Oh, if it isn’t our Third Prince! It’s been a while. Please, upstairs to the private room. We have a special performance tonight that will be quite enjoyable.”

Seeing a regular customer, the madam’s face blossomed into a smile.

Li Hongye put an arm around her shoulder, lecherously. “You should join me tonight.”

The madam playfully waved her handkerchief. “If you don’t mind me being older, I’d be honored.”

At thirty, the madam had a mature allure that many men found irresistible.

Li Hongye caressed her face. “You’re not old at all. I’ll be waiting for you tonight.”

“Very well, I’ll join you.” The madam led him upstairs, ordered tea and snacks, and summoned four girls to keep them company.

Chu Tang, disliking being touched, removed the girls’ hands from him. “Sit properly.”

The girls, frightened, quickly sat up straight and poured drinks.

Li Hongye laughed. “Chu Tang, relax. We’re here to enjoy ourselves.”

Chu Tang pushed the plates of snacks to the girls, not wanting to waste time. “Just say what you need to say.”

Li Hongye moved the girls aside and personally poured wine for Chu Tang. “Please, have a drink.”

Chu Tang took the cup and drank. “Speak.”

After drinking his own cup, Li Hongye said, “Chu Tang, you have great talent, but one person can’t achieve much alone. Why not work with me to seek greater success?”

His words sounded pleasant, but the implication was clear: Chu Tang would be his pawn, with any success belonging to Li Hongye.

Chu Tang smiled. “I have a maid and a servant at home. I’m short of a steward. Interested?”

Li Hongye’s face darkened. “Do you know who I am?”

Chu Tang calmly replied, “Do you know who I am?”

Li Hongye, realizing the situation, softened his tone. “Help me, and you can have whatever you want.”

Chu Tang raised an eyebrow, twirling his wine cup. “If you’re so capable, why seek my help?”

The girls giggled behind their hands.

Li Hongye’s temper flared. “Chu Tang, there’s no need for this.”

Chu Tang smiled slightly. “Do you know what it takes to negotiate terms? You want my help; you must offer me something I want.”

Li Hongye, holding back his anger, asked, “What do you want?”

Chu Tang replied indifferently, “You can’t afford what I want.” He stood, ready to leave. He had expected something different from this Third Prince, but it turned out he was just another power-hungry commoner.

Chapter 1007: Meeting Lord Yun Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Hongye called after him, “What exactly do you want?”

Chu Tang replied slowly, “Peace and prosperity.” With that, he swiftly left the brothel.

Li Hongye stood there, stunned. He realized that Chu Tang was not someone he could align with.

Peace and prosperity, easier said than done!

“Why are you back so soon?” Zeng Huo was in the kitchen, making seafood porridge. The proximity to the sea made the eastern border a great place for seafood.

“The talk fell through.” Chu Tang walked over, fanning the aroma with his hand. “Is there some for me?”

“Of course.” Zeng Huo wouldn’t dare refuse what Chu Qingzhi wanted.

“Give me a bowl.” Chu Tang sat down, feeling slightly uncomfortable after the drink.

“Sure.” Zeng Huo quickly served him a bowl. “What did the Third Prince want?”

“What else? Power struggles.” Chu Tang stirred the porridge with his spoon, feeling particularly disgusted.

“People like him, who have enjoyed wealth and luxury all their lives, what else would they fight for?” Zeng Huo’s tone was slightly mocking, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.

“True.” Chu Tang took a sip of the porridge. It was perfectly cooked, gradually easing his discomfort.

Half a month passed peacefully. Tang Jinghong and his army reached Liang City, setting up camp near the south gate, aligning with the border troops and Liang City.

General Chen, upon hearing this, personally came to see Tang Jinghong. “General Tang, you’ve finally arrived in Liang City.”

Tang Jinghong said, “I’ll need your help in the coming days, General Chen.”

General Chen laughed heartily. “Of course! I’ve prepared food and drink at Yipin Pavilion. Will you honor me with your presence? I haven’t properly thanked you for having Chu Tang investigate the missing arrows.”

Necessary social engagements were unavoidable. Tang Jinghong nodded. “Alright.”

Upon arriving at Yipin Pavilion, Tang Jinghong was surprised to see Xi Zhaoping there. What kind of setup was this?

Xi Zhaoping stood up and saluted. “Greetings, General Tang.”

Tang Jinghong glanced at the two men. “At ease, have a seat.”

“Thank you, General.”

The three men sat around the table. Xi Zhaoping poured wine for them and said, “General Tang, I had no choice. Recently, Yun Organization members have been watching me closely. I had to use General Chen’s name to see you.”

“I understand.” Tang Jinghong said, “What is it?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Xi Zhaoping looked troubled. “General, recently a group of bandits has been causing havoc outside Liang City. Yesterday, they kidnapped the daughter of the Mu family and claimed they wanted to marry the second daughter. The Mu family head begged me to rescue her.”

“My office’s men are no match for the bandits, so I had to seek your help.”

General Chen was indignant. “Why didn’t you come to me?”

Xi Zhaoping explained, “The county magistrate cannot easily step into the border troops’ territory, especially since I’m the magistrate of this border city. It would raise suspicion.”

General Chen frowned. “That makes sense.”

Tang Jinghong considered this. “Alright, I’ll handle this. We’ll rescue the second daughter of the Mu family as quickly as possible.”

Ads by Pubfuture

This would be an opportunity to make an example of the bandits!

Xi Zhaoping felt relieved. Without Tang Jinghong’s help, he would have been powerless.

Tang Jinghong said, “Now that business is done, let’s enjoy the meal.”

“Yes.”

Half a month later, Lord Yun made a move again, sending a letter to Chu Tang saying he agreed to meet but only Chu Tang alone.

Zeng Huo read the letter. “Lord Yun has finally fallen into your hands.”

Chu Tang was noncommittal. “Keep an eye out. Since Lord Yun agreed to meet, he’ll set a meeting place soon. Once he comes out, I’ll capture him.”

Zeng Huo was less optimistic. “Lord Yun is deep and unpredictable. He won’t be underestimated. If he agrees to meet, he’ll be fully prepared. He might try to capture you.”

Chu Tang said, “I’d welcome that. I’d like to follow him back to his base and burn it down, eliminating the threat once and for all.”

Zeng Huo thought about it and found the idea appealing. “That’s a good plan.”

That night, Lord Yun arranged to meet Chu Tang on a boat in the river outside the city.

It was a large boat covered entirely in black cloth, anchored in the middle of the river. In the night, it looked like a giant beast lurking in the water, mysterious and dangerous.

Chu Tang and Zeng Huo arrived at the riverbank.

Zeng Huo looked around. “No boats or people. How do we get across?”

Chu Tang crossed his arms, studying the boat. “I suppose we’re meant to fly over.”

Zeng Huo said, “What if someone can’t fly?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Then swim,” Chu Tang pointed to the water.

Zeng Huo, “…”

Well, there’s always a way.

As they spoke, a woman appeared on the boat. She clasped her hands in front of her, her voice clear. “Is that Mr. Chu Tang?”

Chu Tang replied, “It is.”

The woman said formally, “Please board the ship, Mr. Chu.”

Chu Tang leaped onto the boat with such speed that the woman was left gaping. In a blink of an eye, he was there. “Mr. Chu, Lord Yun is waiting in the cabin.”

As she spoke, a mournful tune came from the cabin, the sound of a guqin, full of sorrow and resentment.

Listening at the cabin entrance for a moment, Chu Tang said, “Your guqin playing is excellent, but too sorrowful.”

A clear voice responded, “I am in a good mood right now, not sorrowful at all.”

Chu Tang thought to himself, judging by the voice, the person was barely twenty years old. Could this really be the man who dominated the eastern border?

If so, his abilities were formidable!

The voice continued, “You’ve been wanting to meet me, capturing all my subordinates. Now that the time has come, why not come in?”

Chu Tang extended his senses, enveloping the entire boat. There were six people on board: Lord Yun, a maid, and four guards. Chu Tang wondered why Lord Yun wasn’t afraid of being killed.

“Of course, I’ll come in. It’s just that finally being able to achieve my long-held wish makes me a bit nervous.”

Lord Yun chuckled. “Come in.”

This was far from the tense confrontation everyone expected. It felt more like old friends reuniting.

Chu Tang entered the cabin.

The cabin was spacious, arranged like a palace, with a young man sitting in the main seat.

Dressed in purple, he had a calm demeanor. On the table before him was a guqin, his long fingers plucking the strings to produce mournful notes.

Chu Tang thought, “This can’t be the real Lord Yun. His looks, demeanor, and gaze don’t match that of a villain. It’s not that I judge by appearance, but there’s no ambition in his eyes.”

Chapter 1008: A Hero Saves the Beauty Editor: Henyee Translations

Lord Yun played the guqin for a while, then slowly raised his head, a charming smile spreading across his face. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Chu Tang sat at a nearby table, resting his chin on one hand. “Nothing, continue playing.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lord Yun instructed the maid to bring some tea and snacks for Chu Tang before resuming his playing. “You are the first person to listen to my guqin so attentively.”

The piece lasted a long time.

Chu Tang popped the last piece of snack into his mouth, dusted off his hands, and took a sip of tea before speaking. “What’s your relationship with Lord Yun? Why are you working for him?”

Lord Yun paused, then replied, “I am Lord Yun. I’m not working for anyone.”

Chu Tang tilted his head slightly. “What did I write in my third letter to Lord Yun?”

Lord Yun froze.

Chu Tang thought, judging by his demeanor, this person seemed too detached to be someone who would orchestrate such vicious schemes. “Do you know what happens to those who deceive me?”

Lord Yun remained silent, accepting his doomed fate. He resumed playing the guqin. “I don’t know who this Lord Yun you speak of is. I’m a deposed prince guarding the imperial tomb. A month ago, someone approached me, showed me some things, and then asked me to impersonate someone named Lord Yun.”

It appeared that the real Lord Yun had prepared for this moment long in advance. Finding someone of royal lineage to act on his behalf indicated that Lord Yun held significant power, likely a member of the royal family.

Chu Tang inquired, “Which country’s imperial tomb? What’s your name?”

The man replied, “Xiasang Kingdom, Tenth Prince Xia Yuncheng.”

Chu Tang’s expression turned serious. Xiasang Kingdom was known for its ambition and cruelty. Given their reputation, it wasn’t surprising they would come up with something as vile as Immortal Ointment. “Come with me. Once we resolve things here, we’ll deal with you.”

Xia Yuncheng complied, rising and walking ahead.

Chu Tang followed. “Are the people on this ship yours or Lord Yun’s?”

Xia Yuncheng responded coolly, “His.”

Chu Tang spared the maid and killed the rest. “Tell Lord Yun that hiding won’t work forever. I’ll find him eventually and expose his true, ugly face to the world!”

The maid, trembling with fear, nodded. “I’ll relay your message exactly.”

Chu Tang grabbed Xia Yuncheng and flew to the shore.

Tang Jinghong was waiting at the riverbank. Chu Tang had informed him about the meeting with Lord Yun, and Tang Jinghong had come to see who this Lord Yun was. “Qingzhi, he…”

“He’s the Tenth Prince of Xiasang Kingdom, not Lord Yun.” Chu Tang said, frustrated. It had been a long time since someone had played him for a fool.

Tang Jinghong examined Xia Yuncheng. He had a refined demeanor but seemed too gentle. “So, Lord Yun is likely from Xiasang Kingdom too?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Most likely,” Chu Tang replied cautiously. They still hadn’t confirmed Lord Yun’s identity.

As he spoke, something fell from Xia Yuncheng’s clothing. Chu Tang quickly picked it up and saw it was a carved headless fish. “A member of the Xuan family!”

“Are you from the Xuan family?” Chu Tang’s tone became severe.

Xia Yuncheng was startled. How did this man recognize the Xuan family from a single carving? “I’m not from the Xuan family. My mother was. She gave this to me.”

Chu Tang used a spell and questioned Xia Yuncheng again, receiving the same answers. Only then did he feel at ease. “Jinghong, let’s head back. We need to plan our next steps carefully.”

“Alright.”

Back at the Tao residence, Chu Qingzhi prepared some food for Tang Jinghong. After eating, Tang Jinghong said he had to leave.

Chu Tang asked, “Why are you in such a hurry? Can’t you leave after sunrise?”

Tang Jinghong wanted to stay longer but couldn’t. “There are too many things to handle. The military funds issue hasn’t been resolved, Xi Zhaoping asked for my help to rescue someone, and the smallpox problem in Chen’an Kingdom persists. The camp has just settled, and there are many matters to attend to.”

Chu Tang was speechless. “It’s been months, and Chen’an Kingdom’s smallpox outbreak still isn’t under control?”

Tang Jinghong shook his head slowly. “No. I don’t know what they’re doing. Even with Hongjun and Linjiang’s help, they haven’t managed to contain it.”

Hearing the names of his two disciples, Chu Tang felt a twinge of concern. “Once I’ve dealt with things here, I’ll check on my disciples and see how Chen’an Kingdom is faring.”

Ads by Pubfuture

At this rate, the kingdom might collapse.

Tang Jinghong said, “There’s no rush. They’re restricted to their own country. Whatever they do there doesn’t pose a significant threat to us.”

Chu Tang thought Tang Jinghong was a bit devious. “Alright, we’ll take our time.” He changed the subject, “By the way, why haven’t you resolved the military funds issue yet?”

“The key person went missing.” Tang Jinghong was troubled. It should have been a straightforward task—question the person in charge of transporting the funds and the case would be solved. But that person had vanished without a trace.

Chu Tang speculated, “Could they be from Xiasang Kingdom? Perhaps they’ve taken the funds and returned.”

“That’s a possibility. If that’s the case, a conflict between Daling and Xiasang Kingdom is inevitable.” Tang Jinghong expressed his concern.

If a royal from Xiasang Kingdom had stolen Daling’s military funds, it would undoubtedly lead to major conflict.

Chu Tang felt the weight of the situation. War was something no one wanted. “What’s the situation with Xi Zhaoping?”

Tang Jinghong explained everything to Chu Tang. “That’s the situation.”

Chu Tang nodded. “Go ahead. If I have time, I’ll come help. I enjoy raiding bandits.” There’s nothing like fighting fire with fire.

Tang Jinghong chuckled. “If you do come, let me know in advance so I can welcome you.”

“Sure.” Chu Tang embraced Tang Jinghong before seeing him off.

Returning to his room, Chu Tang found Zeng Huo waiting. “I’ve never seen you so clingy before.”

Chu Tang glanced at Zeng Huo. “What’s up?”

Zeng Huo straightened up. “That second Miss Mu is Liang City’s most beautiful woman. If General Tang rescues her, what if she falls for him?”

Chu Tang was skeptical. “She would?”

Zeng Huo tilted his head, speaking knowingly. “A beauty often falls for her hero.”

“Good point.” Chu Tang turned to chase after Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong rode his fast horse and saw Chu Tang chasing after him. He quickly stopped, reached out his hand, and pulled her up behind him before continuing on.

“Why did you come?”

Chu Tang wrapped her arms around Tang Jinghong’s waist. “Worried about any vixen.”

Tang Jinghong chuckled, “No vixens.”

Chu Tang relaxed against his back. “Alright, let’s go see the number one beauty of Liang City.”

As they rode, Tang Jinghong asked, “Who is this number one beauty of Liang City?”

“You don’t know?” Chu Tang was surprised. “The second Miss Mu is the most beautiful woman in Liang City. You might end up rescuing her and having her fall for you.”

Tang Jinghong smiled faintly, “Are you jealous?”

Chu Tang retorted, “Can’t a fairy get jealous?”

Tang Jinghong laughed heartily. Qingzhi being jealous for him made him incredibly happy. “Besides you, I don’t like anyone else. I will only love you for my entire life.”

With the pearl in front of him, how could anyone else catch his eye?

Chu Tang smiled gently. He trusted Tang Jinghong not to betray him; he had that much confidence.

Riding the fast horse, they reached Liang City in two days.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The bandit lair was in a valley near the south gate of Liang City. It was said to be full of traps, and many soldiers who had tried to enter the valley had lost their lives.

Tang Jinghong brought Chu Tang back to the military camp, then they headed to the foot of the mountain outside the bandit lair. At the foot of the mountain, a group of soldiers and officers were stationed. They had attempted multiple times to enter the valley but were forced back by the traps.

Xia Lanfeng saw Tang Jinghong approaching and quickly stepped forward to salute. “General.”

Tang Jinghong observed the mountain. “What’s the situation?”

Xia Lanfeng shook his head helplessly. “We’ve tried everything we could think of, but all in vain. General, it’s my fault for being incompetent.”

Tang Jinghong asked, “Why does a bandit lair have such strong traps? Have you investigated?”

Xia Lanfeng was taken aback. “General, I will investigate immediately.”

Meanwhile, inside the bandit lair, a group of men was arguing fiercely.

“Look at what you’ve done, bringing Tang Jinghong here. Now what?”

“How was I supposed to know Tang Jinghong would get involved in this?”

“Can’t you control your lustful habits? Now you’ve brought this calamity upon us. Think of a solution!”

After a bout of intense arguing, they gradually calmed down.

They were in it together, sharing honor and disgrace. Blaming each other was pointless.

The leader cautiously suggested, “How about we return the second Miss Mu and secretly threaten Xi Zhaoping to smooth things over?”

The second-in-command disagreed, “Tang Jinghong is now involved. Xi Zhaoping can’t resolve this.”

The third man agreed with the second-in-command, “We need to deal with Tang Jinghong. He’s known for his integrity. It’s almost impossible to bribe him. Most importantly, we can’t let the secret of the valley get out, or we’ll be in even more trouble.”

Ads by Pubfuture

The leader slapped the fourth man on the back of the head. “This is all your fault. Find a way to fix this, or even if you escape Tang Jinghong, our superiors won’t let you off.”

The fourth man was terrified. “I don’t know. I was blinded by her beauty and brought her back without thinking. I didn’t expect it to cause such trouble.”

The second-in-command said, “Now is not the time to assign blame. We need to find a way to make Tang Jinghong withdraw.”

The fourth man hastily agreed, “Yes, yes, make Tang Jinghong withdraw.”

The third man suggested, “Should we return Miss Mu and offer some gifts to appease Tang Jinghong?”

The second-in-command pondered, “How about we negotiate terms with Tang Jinghong?”

The leader replied, “Anyone who goes out will be killed. Do you believe that?”

“If we can’t go left or right, what do we do?” The fourth man regretted deeply. If he had known it would come to this, he would never have taken Miss Mu.

The hall fell into silence.

Chu Tang surveyed the surroundings and pointed to a lush peak nearby. “Let’s go up there and have a look.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Alright.”

One after the other, they flew up to the peak. Those below looked up in awe; the two of them appeared like majestic eagles, swift and powerful.

Standing on the peak, Chu Tang and Tang Jinghong looked down into the valley. From this high vantage point, everything in the lower areas was clearly visible.

Before their eyes was a large valley surrounded by mountains, occupied by bandits. Many new houses had been built, giving it the look of a small hidden village.

Bandits were stationed at various posts and patrolled the area, maintaining strict vigilance.

“Jinghong, if you were a bandit, would you choose a place like this for your base?” Chu Tang sensed something was off, furrowing her brow.

Ads by Pubfuture

Tang Jinghong replied, “No, this place is easy to attack and hard to defend. It’s not a good hiding spot, but the strong traps make up for this flaw.”

“That’s what’s strange. How could bandits afford to set up such strong traps?” Chu Tang felt the bandit base had hidden depths.

Tang Jinghong shook his head. “They couldn’t.”

Chu Tang smiled, sitting cross-legged. “Let’s observe. When night falls, we’ll fly down.”

Tang Jinghong handed her a water bottle. “Have some water and rest. I’ll get you some food.”

Chu Tang raised an eyebrow. “Thanks, General.”

Tang Jinghong played along, “It’s my pleasure.”

Tang Jinghong brought an assortment of items up, including food and drinks. It felt like a picnic.

Sitting beside Chu Tang, Tang Jinghong said, “If you want to lean on me, I’d be delighted.”

Treating it as a date, Chu Tang relaxed against Tang Jinghong’s chest, eating snacks while watching the valley.

“This is quite pleasant.”

“It’s been a long time since we spent time together like this.” Tang Jinghong cherished these moments of stolen leisure.

“Let’s stay here all afternoon and monitor the valley,” Chu Tang suggested.

“I’ll do whatever you say,” Tang Jinghong agreed.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers and officers looked up at the figures on the peak, feeling a surge of envy.

On the peak, Chu Tang suddenly asked, “Jinghong, what do you plan to do with Xia Yuncheng?”

Tang Jinghong hadn’t thought about it. “Let’s wait and see if he’s useful in the future.”

Chu Tang said, “He’s a prince. Why would he be guarding the imperial tomb?”

“Maybe he got in someone’s way.” The struggle for the throne was always brutal and bloody.

“I think he went there voluntarily.” Chu Tang saw no ambition in Xia Yuncheng’s eyes, unlike someone who sought power. “I think being an emperor isn’t good—dying young, bearing great responsibilities, having no freedom. If I had a choice, I’d choose to be an idle cloud and wild crane…”

Tang Jinghong listened, a faint smile appearing on his face. “You don’t crave power. For others, power is even more enticing than wealth.”

Chu Tang fed Tang Jinghong a sugar bean. “Have something sweet to lift your spirits.”

Tang Jinghong chewed and swallowed it. “It does taste sweeter when you feed me.”

Chu Tang laughed. “Want another one?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Jinghong replied, “Sure.”

The evening sky was filled with beautiful clouds.

Their sweet and pleasant time passed quickly, and soon it was dusk. Chu Tang and Tang Jinghong prepared to have dinner before sneaking into the valley at night to uncover its secrets.

The soldiers at the base had prepared a meal, and the two quickly ate upon returning. After finishing, the sky was fully dark.

They changed into night suits, avoided the traps, and flew from the peak directly into the valley, landing on a tree. From there, they descended silently, eliminating two guards who had gone to relieve themselves, and used magic to transform into their appearances.

Chu Tang and Tang Jinghong exchanged a glance, standing nonchalantly in the positions where the two guards were supposed to be.

As they stood there, a well-dressed man entered the valley, surrounded by several men in black.

Ads by Pubfuture

He took a different path, not the one guarded by the soldiers.

Chu Tang recognized the man—it was Prince Li Hongye of the eastern border. What was his identity? And why was he here?

Tang Jinghong also recognized the third prince and shared the same doubts as Chu Tang.

They exchanged a glance and focused on Li Hongye.

Li Hongye looked around, everything seemed normal, and then he confidently walked into the largest house in the valley.

Inside, the leader and several others were sitting, looking solemn. Upon seeing Li Hongye, they immediately stood up. “Third Elder.”

Chu Tang raised an eyebrow. So, Li Hongye was the third elder of the Yun organization! This valley was another stronghold of the Yun organization, and Li Hongye was their third elder!!

Chu Tang smiled, realizing there was an intriguing show to watch.

Tang Jinghong glanced at Chu Tang. He frowned slightly, surprised to find Li Hongye was part of the Yun organization. The corruption in the eastern border ran deep!

In the room, Li Hongye took the main seat and immediately began to berate them. “You fools! You’ve brought this disaster upon us!”

The group knelt before Li Hongye. “Third Elder, please save us!”

Li Hongye glared at them. “How can I save you? Now that Tang Jinghong is involved, it’s complicated!”

The leader pleaded. “Third Elder, only you can save us. We didn’t do it on purpose; it was Fourth Brother’s mistake. Please save us for the sake of our loyalty.”

The fourth brother cried out. “Third Elder, as long as you save me, I promise to follow your orders and never act recklessly again!”

“It’s not about saving you; it’s about protecting the valley’s secret.” Li Hongye felt like killing them all. “Tomorrow, Fourth Brother will take Miss Mu to the authorities and confess. Then we’ll secretly threaten the Mu family head to drop the matter. That’s the only way.”

The fourth brother collapsed to the ground, trembling. “Third Elder, I don’t want to die!”

Li Hongye looked at him. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. Your crime will only result in a short imprisonment. I’ll take care of things in the jail.”

Sacrificing one to save the valley was acceptable.

Seeing Li Hongye’s decision was final, the fourth brother had no choice but to accept reality. Following Li Hongye’s plan was his only chance of survival.

Li Hongye scanned the room. “Anything else?”

The leader glanced at the fourth brother. This was the best outcome, so he remained silent. “No.”

Li Hongye stood up and walked out, patrolling the valley before leaving.

Now that they knew Li Hongye was the third elder, he couldn’t escape. Chu Tang and Tang Jinghong decided to clear the valley’s secrets first, then deal with the third prince.

Their thoughts aligned perfectly.

Chu Tang signaled to Tang Jinghong, and they both entered an empty room.

The room was pitch dark, but the familiar scent of Immortal Ointment immediately told them what kind of place it was.

Chu Tang whispered to Tang Jinghong, “Unexpectedly, we stumbled upon another drug-making site!”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes darkened. Using the moonlight, he observed everything in the room, feeling a deep sense of sadness—people from his own country were collaborating with outsiders to harm their own people.

Chu Tang pulled Tang Jinghong to a corner and used a fire spell to turn everything in the room to ashes!

“Fire!”

“There’s a fire!”

Urgent shouts echoed throughout the valley. Taking advantage of the chaos, Chu Tang and Tang Jinghong mixed with the crowd, leaving the room and setting other houses in the valley ablaze.

This was a magical fire; regular water couldn’t extinguish it. Instead, it would increase the flames. The fire would only die out once everything Chu Tang wanted burned was gone.

In no time, the entire valley was engulfed in flames. The heat was intense, and the air sizzled.

Chu Tang took Miss Mu and Tang Jinghong, flying out of the valley and back to the military base.

Xia Lanfeng approached. “General, Mr. Chu.”

Chu Tang nodded to Tang Jinghong and decided to send Miss Mu back to her family that night, leaving the rest to Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong had half the men guard the entrance and took the other half to the two exits to catch the fleeing bandits. As he anticipated, soon after, they captured the first escapee.

Seeing Tang Jinghong standing there, the bandit surrendered without resistance.

One after another, people fled from the valley.

The mysterious fire had destroyed the valley. They knew they would be held accountable and face death. Running away was their only option.

Thus, Tang Jinghong captured everyone from the valley without losing a single soldier.

Chu Tang brought Miss Mu back to her family. As she woke up, she saw a refined young man who had saved her, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude.

The head of the Mu family was immensely grateful, offering silver to Chu Tang as thanks. “Young master, thank you for bringing my daughter back. You’ve worked hard.”

Chu Tang replied, “No need for silver. If you really want to thank me, send some medicinal herbs and food supplies to Tang’s camp.”

The Mu family head praised him. “Young master, we will do that.”

Chu Tang waved it off. “By the way, those bandits only locked her up and did nothing else. Take good care of her and help her recover from the shock.”

He said this to protect Miss Mu’s reputation. Generally, girls taken by bandits didn’t survive, even if rescued.

The Mu family head was deeply thankful. “Thank you, young master.”
