"It's useless. It just leaves a stream of internal energy in your body. This internal energy will erupt at irregular intervals every day, and it will make your life worse than death."

Lu Chen said calmly.

"So, you must rush to the capital as soon as possible. Only King Zuo Wu can save you now."

"you……"

Marquis An Zhen was so angry that he was about to curse, but when he thought that he was now in the hands of someone else, he could only swallow his anger.

Lu Chen released the restriction, and Marquis An Zhen's body fell from mid-air.

"get out!"

Lu Chen waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Marquis An Zhen and Liu Ji Yan left the hall in a hurry as if they had been pardoned. They did not dare to stay even a moment longer and did not leave a single harsh word.

They knew in their hearts that they were extremely lucky to be able to save their lives this time, so how could they dare to say anything harsh.

Lu Chen looked at the two people's backs as they left, thoughtful.

He knew that King Zuo Wu might not appreciate it if he let them go this time, but he didn't want to confront King Zuo Wu head-on yet. After all, King Zuo Wu was a man of unfathomable depth, and if possible, Lu Chen didn't want to become an enemy of such a person.

Furthermore, in Lu Chen's opinion, King Zuo Wu might be a better emperor than Zhao Ji.

Of course, Lu Chen was not interested no matter who became the emperor.

"My Lord, why don't you kill them?"

Zhu Jian was still somewhat unwilling to accept the fact. After all, whether it was the father and son Murong Bo and Murong Fu, or An Zhenhou, their hands were stained with the blood of their sisters.

In his opinion, even if the new Lord Lu Chen was merciful and did not kill them, he should still cut off their hands and feet so as to punish them.

Lu Chen just smiled and didn't explain to her.

Next, it was the issue of cleaning and treatment. Having just experienced a brutal fight, cleaning was secondary. The main thing was to treat the wounded with all their strength.

After experiencing this turmoil, Lingjiu Palace became stable.

Lu Chen discovered that the environment of Lingjiu Palace was very good, and there was also a thousand-year-old hot spring. Bathing in the water of this hot spring could not only beautify the skin, but also improve one's martial arts skills.

While Lu Chen asked people from Lingjiu Palace to send a letter to the capital of Western Xia to inform the women to come to Lingjiu Palace, he began to understand the operation of Lingjiu Palace.

After understanding the situation, Lu Chen finally knew why Tong Lao used the life and death talisman to control her subordinates.

Tong Lao basically didn't take charge of anything anymore, and she ran Lingjiu Palace through her four maids, named Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, and the leaders of the nine tribes.

The people in the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands are of varying quality. Once these people have rebellious intentions, the people of Lingjiu Palace may not be able to resist them. Besides, this way it is also very worry-free.

However, Tong Lao had planned everything, but she had not taken into account that everyone has a bottom line, and once that bottom line is touched, even an ordinary person would get angry.

At the same time, An Zhenhou and Liu Jiyan ran more than thirty miles in one breath before stopping to rest.

An Zhenhou slapped the stone with his palm, leaving a clear palm print, and said bitterly: "It's really hateful. I didn't get the job done, and I almost lost my life."

Now, how should he explain to his father?

"Why are not you talking?"

Seeing that Liu Ji Yan didn't say anything, Marquis An Zhen suddenly felt unhappy.

"What else can I say now? I'm very lucky to be alive after meeting this person."

Liu Jiyan said calmly.

"You seem to know him?"

Marquis An Zhen looked at Liu Ji Yan with suspicion.

Liu Jiyan sighed and said, "I can't say I know him, but I have had the honor of meeting him a few times."

"Oh? Then what is the origin of this person?"

An Zhenhou asked curiously.

"You should have heard his name."

Liu Jiyan said.

"Who is he?"

An Zhenhou asked.

"He is Lu Chen."

Liu Jiyan was silent for a while and then said Lu Chen's name.

“Lu Chen…”

Marquis An Zhen didn't react at first, but after a while, he finally remembered who Lu Chen was, and his expression changed drastically.

Lu Chen has been very popular recently and has caused a lot of trouble in the capital. How could Marquis An Zhen, who lives in the capital, not have heard of Lu Chen's name?

"So it was him. No wonder he dared to attack me."

Marquis An Zhen snorted coldly.

He was about to continue speaking, but at this moment the true energy in his body suddenly became violent. An indescribable pain spread from his dantian to his whole body, as if tens of thousands of knives were cutting his body, making him live a life worse than death.

"Ah ah ah..."

Marquis An Zhen had never experienced such pain before, and he cried out immediately.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his palms.

"Quickly practice your skills!"

When Liu Jiyan saw this scene, she knew that Marquis An Zhen was having an attack.

Upon hearing this, Marquis An Zhen struggled to sit cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate his internal energy, trying to suppress this kind of true energy.

However, he soon discovered that the more he practiced his Qi, the more painful it became. The Qi left by Lu Chen in his body was extremely powerful, and his own Qi could not suppress it at all, causing him to let out even more tragic screams.

"what happened to you?"

Liu Jiyan was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward to transfer his true energy into An Zhenhou's body. He thought that An Zhenhou's skills were still shallow and he could not suppress the true energy.

However, Liu Jiyan still overestimated himself. The true Qi he transmitted was indeed extremely powerful, but it was still unable to suppress the true Qi running rampant in An Zhenhou's body.

Fortunately, the true energy in Liu Ji Yan's body did not explode, otherwise the two of them would have screamed at the same time.

"Oh, it hurts so much, please kill me, I don't want to live anymore..."

Marquis An Zhen screamed in pain and rolled over on the ground. Even a tough man could not endure such pain, let alone a rich young marquis like him who had lived in the palace since childhood.

Of course Liu Jiyan would not kill Marquis An Zhen. If Marquis An Zhen died outside, King Zuo Wu would not let him go no matter who did it.

However, Marquis An Zhen was screaming so miserably, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He pondered for a moment, then made a move and knocked Marquis An Zhen unconscious.

"My lord, I'm sorry."

Liu Jiyan said that Marquis An Zhen had been knocked unconscious and could not hear what he said.

"I didn't expect this true qi attack to be so terrible. It seems I have to return to the palace quickly and ask the prince for treatment."

Liu Jiyan thought.

After a whole night of cleaning and treatment, Lingjiu Palace had calmed down the next day. However, the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands knelt in front of the bodies of their dead sisters for three days and three nights. They could not eat anything during these three days and three nights. If they starved to death, it would be their own fault.

However, three days of starvation is not enough to kill a person, and it will pass if you hold on. Compared to getting rid of the life and death talisman on your body, being hungry for three days is nothing.

After a day and a night of observation, these people are relatively honest. In the future, Lu Chen will impose some restrictions on these forces. He is not like Tong Lao who only needs to be obedient.
