Chapter 306: Two Powerful Weapons
Chapter 306: Two Powerful Weapons
In the evening, a light autumn drizzle fell.
In the room, Treasure Piggy was feeding the three Wolf Pups.
First Wolf took a bite, then Little Fat Bun took a bite.
Second Wolf took a bite, then Little Fat Bun took a bite.
Third Wolf took a bite, and then Little Fat Bun took a bite.
After competing for dog food and cat food, Bao Shu was now fighting for wolf food, truly a super food-stealing little piggy.
Ever since her son called her 'mother,' Liu Qingyun no longer hid from him. Wherever her son was, she would be there too.
She did nothing but watch her son.
Her son was so handsome; he was indeed her son!
"Son..."
Lu Yuan closed his eyes, "You've called out a hundred times already."
Finally free from the old man, Meng Xiaojiu thought she could have some peace. If she had known that Liu Qingyun would cling to her like this, she would have rather stayed on the mountain with the old man and fought.
Meng Qianqian suppressed a smile.
Lu Yuan said, "Meng Xiaojiu, are you enjoying others' misfortunes?"
"No," Meng Qianqian pressed her lips together and tried to think of a hundred sad things. Finally, she managed to force a painful expression, "I was thinking about Ji Li."
Quickly change the topic!
Lu Yuan's face darkened, "Are you thinking of another man in front of this Commander?"
Meng Qianqian's body trembled.
But she really shouldn't speak her mind; it could be fatal!
"I'm thinking about where Ji Li went. You know he has bad luck, and I'm afraid he'll bring more misfortune upon himself, right?"
Thankfully, she managed to cover it up. How clever of me!
Bai Yuwei and Tan Er were playing with the Wolf Pups.
Hearing Meng Qianqian's words, Bai Yuwei muttered, "It's others who are unlucky, not him!"
The last time he caused her to be struck by lightning was still fresh in her memory!
Tan Er sighed, "He won't get into trouble, but I wonder if he'll drag others down with him!"
Meng Qianqian had just spoken casually, but after hearing Bai Yuwei and Tan Er's words, she suddenly felt genuinely concerned for those in the woods.
Tan Er added, "The Princess hasn't returned either. Why aren't you worried about her?"
Please come back soon, Princess, she wants to eat braised pork!
When Tan Er mentioned Wanping Princess, Meng Qianqian's lips twitched.
Including her mischievous disciple, there were now two powerful weapons in the woods—
They must never meet; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Soon, Meng Qianqian shook her head.
Where in the world would such a coincidence happen? Besides, the woods were vast, and they had gone in different directions, making the chances of them meeting minuscule.
Meng Qianqian patted her chest and took a deep breath, "It's fine, it's fine. They won't meet."

Deep in the hunting ground, Wanping Princess encountered a crazed Black Bear. Coincidentally, it was the very same bear that Xun Liu had lured to attack Bai Yuwei.
Due to the effects of some medicine, the Black Bear was in a fierce frenzy. Chang Kuan, in an attempt to protect the princess, took a blow from the bear, tearing off several pieces of flesh from his chest.
At this critical moment, Ji Li arrived and, with an incredibly cool and stylish move, knocked out the Black Bear with a single strike.
The Wanping Princess admired him for a moment, "You seem more reliable than the other Twelve Guards. Since Chang Kuan is injured, would you be willing to serve as my bodyguard until I shoot down the Golden-Eyed Tiger?"
Ji Li snapped open his folding fan, "Your Highness has a keen eye. This Commander is indeed much more capable than them! However, I am not so easily recruited!"
Wanping Princess said, "Name your price."
Ji Li extended five fingers.
The princess asked, "Five thousand taels?"
Ji Li shook his head.
"Fifty thousand?" The princess thought for a moment, "That's not impossible."
Ji Li casually tossed his head and said with an air of dominance, "Five brass coins."
Wanping Princess: "..."
Ji Li's martial arts skills far surpassed Chang Kuan's, and Wanping dared to go tiger hunting with just Chang Kuan. Now, with two Imperial Guards nearby, she instructed them to send Chang Kuan back to the Imperial Garden.
Immediately after, the two formidable warriors charged into the dense forest.
Within the forest, the three major forces had already formed their battle formations, ready to eliminate the other two at any moment.
The two women stood on a large tree, gazing at the mountain peak across from them.
Ji Li said, "Princess, they've surrounded the mountain peak. It's easy for us to be spotted if we charge in. Based on my experience of following Chu Da Yuanshuai in battles, I suggest we borrow strength from others."
Wanping Princess pondered for a moment. "Borrow strength from others?"
Ji Li explained, "First, we'll join the strongest force and use them to eliminate the other two. Then, we'll kill their commander, completely seizing their power. Or, we can create internal conflict, and when they're in disarray, it'll be the best time for us to pursue the tiger!"
Wanping Princess nodded. "Good idea!"
The two women instantly agreed.
Among the three armies, the Embroidered Robe Guard had the most formidable individual martial arts skills, while the Capital Guard excelled in battlefield experience. However, these advantages became insignificant when faced with the overwhelming numbers of the Imperial Guard.
The number of Imperial Guards was more than four times the combined forces of the other two armies.
So, the two women joined the Imperial Guard.
It was unheard of for a princess to join the military! But could the Imperial Guard refuse?
Of course not!
Soon, the Imperial Guard was knocked out by a pot of poisonous mushroom soup prepared by Wanping Princess.
Wanping Princess said, "I didn't pick these mushrooms myself."
The Imperial Guard commander was on the verge of tears. "But you shouldn't add random ingredients!"
Three-tenths of the Imperial Guard fell ill, vomiting and having diarrhea. Who could they complain to?
The commander dared not keep this 'big Buddha' any longer, so he took the risk of offending the princess and sent Wanping Princess out of the camp.
The other two large camps, upon hearing that Wanping Princess was coming, all closed their eyes and pretended to be dead, refusing to accept the princess into their ranks.
Wanping Princess was furious.
But Ji Li said, "Princess, this is a good thing."
Wanping Princess asked, "How so?"
Ji Li smiled. "Since they're pretending to be dead, we can boldly enter the mountain without them daring to stop us."
Wanping Princess frowned, thinking for a moment. "They wouldn't dare stop me anyway, so why did we go through all that trouble earlier?"
Ji Li: You're suddenly so smart, but everyone else is so foolish.

Ministry of Punishment.
Chen Long and Wei Yang were still imprisoned in their respective cells.
In the quiet of the night, a dart suddenly flew into Chen Long's cell, pinning a note to the hard wall.
Chen Long removed the dart and unfolded the note, revealing eight large characters: "The Lord's Order: Kill Lu Yuan."
Chen Long destroyed the note, stood up, and with a palm strike, shattered the bronze lock. He walked out with a calm expression.
The guards who rushed over had no resistance and fell to the ground one after another.
He went to the storage room and retrieved his Qing Long Jian.
"Where are you going?"
As he left the Ministry of Punishment, a voice suddenly came from the side—Si She.
Chen Long stopped and turned to look at him.
Si She stood by the wall, bathed in the cold moonlight, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"It's none of your business," Chen Long said.
Si She calmly said, "If you're going to kill Lu Yuan, I advise you to reconsider."
Chen Long didn't respond and resolutely stepped into the night.
Si She spoke, "Do you really believe that Chancellor Xun has the last bloodline of the Shang family?"
