Zhenyue City.
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Li Wuji appeared in the back garden, quickly walked to the ancient pavilion, and said to the withered monk who was drinking tea, "Senior, many martial artists have emerged in the city recently."
"It seems they're all here for Chu Sheng."
The withered monk slowly put down his teacup and smiled, "Your Highness, the allure of the Taiping Treatise and the Nameless Heavenly Book is too great. It's normal for various factions in the martial world to be restless. There's no need to worry too much."
"Our plan is flawless."
Li Wuji slowly sat down and expressed his concerns, "Senior, I fear that if the treasure falls into our hands, we will become the target of everyone's hatred, and then we will face endless troubles."
"The enemy army of the Tang Dynasty is eyeing the city covetously outside. If the city falls into chaos, Zhenyue City will not be able to be saved."
"Does Your Highness lack confidence in this old monk?" The withered-faced monk said confidently, "As long as no Grandmaster descends, the two of us can suppress all enemies."
"The prince still has 100,000 troops under his command, and the initiative remains in our hands."
Li Wuji remained silent.
"Your Highness, judging from the time, the grain supplies will arrive in the city in three days. We can act ahead of schedule. Your Highness should send people to receive the grain supplies."
"I have already sent men there," Li Wuji said in a deep voice. "I am determined to obtain both treasures and the provisions."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Martial artists from the Great Tang Cloud Pavilion outside the city appeared in the enemy camp; they too have come for the treasure."
The withered monk said, "Yuntian Pavilion, Dugu Peak is quite powerful. As long as he doesn't make a move, this old monk is not afraid of anyone from Yuntian Pavilion."
"The newcomer is Dugu Shang!"
"He doesn't have a single one who can fight," the withered monk said casually.
In just half a month, the martial arts world was in turmoil, pushing Zhenyue City to the forefront of the storm. The martial artists who poured into the city were quite powerful, and each of them had a powerful martial arts force behind them.
This is enough to demonstrate how alluring the wordless book is.
Chu Sheng only knew that a storm was coming, but he did not expect that the epicenter of this storm would be Zhenyue City.
This day.
The convoy appeared outside Zhenyue City, and led by the Eastern Border General, they prepared to enter the city.
Li Anlan and Huo Zhan smiled. After more than two months, they had finally delivered the grain and supplies safely, and they no longer had to live in constant fear.
Chu Sheng raised his eyes and gazed at the magnificent border city, his brows furrowing slightly. There were quite a few powerful martial artists within the city.
It's highly unusual for a city to have so many powerful individuals.
He instantly realized that something was amiss in the city, and that the hidden martial artists were all after him.
"Master Chu, it's time to enter the city!" Li Anlan's urging voice came from inside. She had no idea about the situation inside the city and thought that the mission was completed once the grain was delivered into the city.
Zhenyue City is a den of dragons and tigers, and he wants to go in.
The escort mission is only considered complete if the provisions and supplies are personally handed over to the Prince of Kao Shan.
A god-tier reward is on its way.
Chu Sheng rode into the city, and the grain and fodder convoy shuttled through the long street.
"Young Master, something's not right about Zhenyue City," Ling Shuo said in a low voice. "Why are there so many martial artists in the city? They don't seem to have any good intentions."
"It's quite lively." Chu Sheng sat upright on his horse. The martial artists along the way were of average strength. To Ling Shuo, these people were very strong, but in Chu Sheng's eyes, they were not worth mentioning.
The truly strong are hidden in the shadows.
At this time.
In the butcher shop on the street, a burly man, shirtless and wearing an apron, stopped chopping meat with his large cleaver and stared wide-eyed at the grain convoy. "Honey, the grain has entered the city."
"Pass the word, the operation will take place tonight."
A woman emerged from the butcher shop, her eyes flashing with a cold light. "That young man in blue is Chief Escort Chu of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency? To be a Grandmaster at such a young age, a true prodigy!"
"So outstanding, why didn't you risk your life?"
The butcher said, "He became famous at a young age, which made him a bit arrogant and cocky. He thought he could be an enemy of the entire martial arts world. Zhenyue City will be his burial place."
"Tell our men to withdraw through the north gate after completing their mission."
The woman nodded, somewhat saddened. "We've lived in Zhenyue City for six or seven years, and it's a little hard to leave like this."
"However, the sect's rewards will be substantial this time, and we won't have to show our faces in public anymore."
The two were unassuming and blended seamlessly into the crowd of city dwellers. No one would guess that they were disciples of the Cloud Heaven Pavilion, who had been hiding in Zhenyue City for six or seven years. Both were ninth-rank martial artists.
A short while later.
Chu Sheng, Li Anlan, Huo Zhan and others appeared outside the Prince's Mansion. Prince Li Wuji, who had been waiting for a long time, was warmly greeted when the group appeared.
"Little Anlan is here too!"
"Young General Huo!"
"This must be Master Chu. He's truly a young prodigy."
"You must be tired from your journey. Please come to the palace quickly so that I can welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."
Chu Sheng leaped off his horse and said, "Your Highness, wait a moment. There's no rush to welcome you. Let's check the provisions first."
Li Wuji said, "No need, I trust you."
"Let's check it out. If there are no problems, this shipment can be closed," Chu Sheng said in a deep voice. "That's the rule of the escort agency."
Li Wuji gave a look to the general beside him, "Go and take a look!"
The lieutenant accepted the order and led his men to investigate. They quickly returned, reporting, "Your Highness, the 50,000 shi of grain and supplies are in perfect condition."
"Your Highness, the grain supplies have entered the city and are safely in your hands. The escort mission is complete. Anything that happens to the grain supplies within the city is none of my business," Chu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Of course!"
"Let's enter the manor!" Li Wuji gestured for everyone to enter. "Master Chu, don't worry, I'm still in charge here in Zhenyue City."
Chu Sheng said, "I'll skip the welcome dinner. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't linger in the city."
Li Wuji's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Chu Sheng to be so wary. "Master Chu has come from afar. How could I not show my respect? The welcoming banquet is ready."
"If the Chu army doesn't rest, the horses should rest too."
Li Anlan stepped forward and took Chu Sheng's arm, "Have something to eat before you set off. You've been traveling for two months, relax a bit."
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Chu Sheng said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness!"
"Master Chu, you're too kind!"
"Without your escort, the supplies could not have safely reached the Eastern Territory. I should be the one thanking you."
"These provisions are extremely important to the army."
Li Wuji greeted him warmly, "Anlan, is His Majesty doing well in the capital?"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Uncle. I hope His Majesty is well," Li Anlan said.
"An Lan, did His Majesty issue an imperial edict for your arrival in the Eastern Territory?"
"Let's talk about it later!"
Li Wuji nodded, "Alright, alright. Someone, take Master Chu and the others downstairs to freshen up. The welcoming banquet will begin soon."
After Chu Sheng stepped into the Prince's Mansion, he discovered that there were two Grandmaster auras in the mansion. Even Li Wuji was a Grandmaster martial artist. The Prince's Mansion was not weak. No wonder it had guarded the eastern border for many years and the enemy army of the Tang Dynasty could not cross the line.
"Young Master Chu, this way please." A maid stepped forward, bowed, and gestured for Chu Sheng to proceed to the back courtyard.
As Chu Sheng moved forward, a screen of light appeared before his eyes:
Complete the supply escort mission and receive a divine reward!
