Chu Hanlan waved his left hand and took the note off the red pigeon's leg. "This is a messenger red pigeon. It's from the general's mansion."

When he opened the note, it said Yun Chang'an had arrived at the general's mansion.

Chu Xiaoxiao also looked at the note very happily, thinking to herself that her junior brother had successfully made a breakthrough.

Then, he turned to Chu Jiangruan and said, "I will help you get rid of the disease in your body."

After all, he is her biological father. Although he did not raise him, he is still his father in terms of blood relationship. She cannot watch him being harmed by a villain.

After Chu Xiaoxiao gave him some vital energy, he could clearly feel that he was no longer as weak and listless as before. Instead, he had the domineering aura of an emperor and a faint sense of oppression.

Chu Jiangruan wanted to say thank you, but he didn't say it. He just looked at her with guilt on his face, the daughter he had been looking for for more than ten years.

He knew deep down that he owed them mother and daughter too much and there was no way he could make it up to them.

"Han Lan, I have something to say to her, please leave first."

Although Chu Hanlan was very confused, he still obediently listened to his father's words, left the house and waited outside the hall.

After Chu Hanlan left, Chu Jiangruan didn't say anything for a long time, until Chu Xiaoxiao spoke and left without saying anything, then he spoke slowly.

"How have you been these years?"

Chu Xiaoxiao just replied calmly and simply, "Very good."

Chu Xiaoxiao's face was calm without any fluctuation. Many words in his heart came to his lips but he didn't say them out loud.

"Your mother has not been in good health in recent years. I have sent her to Qingxin Palace to recuperate."

"This is not your fault!"

Hearing the man in front of her talking about her mother's body, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately pointed at him and shouted angrily.

Then, she calmed down and looked at him coldly, "I will take her away."

He seemed determined to take his mother away, no matter how Chu Jiangruan tried to dissuade him.

Chu Jiangruan just laughed at himself helplessly, "Did I really do something wrong in the beginning?"

"Before that, I will remove the poison from you. As for what happens in your dynasty, it has nothing to do with me."

Looking at Chu Xiaoxiao with a determined look on her face, he knew that he couldn't stop his daughter whom he had been thinking about day and night, so he stopped trying to stop her and only asked her why she suddenly came back.

After a moment, he found out that there was an evil creature in the Chu Dynasty causing chaos in the city recently. She was ordered to investigate the matter and told him that someone in the dynasty was behind the evil creature causing chaos, which shocked him very much.

He said angrily, "I will investigate this matter secretly. If anyone dares to cause trouble to the people in the Chu Dynasty, I will not let them go."

cough cough...

With a few coughs, his body seemed unable to hold on for much longer, and he could only speak while leaning on the bed.

"Okay, you have a good rest, I'm going back now."

Without waiting for him to stay, she turned and left, found Chu Hanlan outside the palace, said something to him, and walked out of the palace.

.......

"Trash, you can't handle such a small thing."

A furious cry came from a house. A man in black was lying in front of him, trembling as he listened to the scolding.

A day ago, in a deserted area a hundred miles away from Sanshuicheng, a group of people wearing heavy armor were surrounded by hundreds of masked men in black.

"How dare you, a villain, ambush here?"

The person who was speaking was holding a spear, which was about eight feet and four inches long, with a sharp tip and a tuft of black bristles on it. The spear was slightly thicker and engraved with a black dragon, with the tip pointing directly at the group of masked men.

Sitting on the horse next to him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a stern look on his face, staring at the group of scoundrels with an unfriendly look. This man was Chu Kangyuan, the eldest prince of Chu Jiangruan.

The person who spoke was his most powerful general, Chu Zhuochuan, who was wearing armor with tiger and leopard patterns, riding a brown horse. He was young, with a resolute look on his face. He was also his eldest son.

"You will not walk out of Luoxia Slope alive today."

One of the masked men was holding a large Pudao with a full eight-foot-long blade hanging on the ground. He walked forward, dragging the knife and speaking viciously.

"There is no point in talking too much. Zhuochuan, the situation in the royal city is urgent. Don't delay here for too long."

Before he could finish, Chu Zhuochuan immediately kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and the horse seemed to have received an order and ran towards the man with the knife tacitly.

The masked man was not to be outdone. He swung his knife at the man on horseback. He held the knife above his head with both hands and chopped it horizontally with force.

Chu Zhuochuan turned his wrist, held up his spear, and blocked the knife. He was shocked at this moment. I thought my strength was unmatched in this army, but I didn't expect to meet such a powerful person here. His hands were numb from the shock, but then he smiled, as if he hadn't met an opponent who could numb his hands for a long time.

"Hahaha, come again!"

Immediately, he thrust his gun towards the man and stabbed forward, but the man was not only very strong, but also had great agility, and he dodged the attack with just a twist of his waist.

"Very interesting!"

Then he stabbed the man again, and the man did not want to be outdone, so he also came over with a knife.

After the two of them exchanged more than ten moves, there was still no winner.

However, at this moment, Chu Zhuochuan changed his moves. He raised the gun from bottom to top, and knocked away the masked man's sword. The gun blade suddenly turned and stabbed at the man's neck. The masked man had not yet stabilized his body whose sword had just been knocked away. Seeing the gun going straight into his neck, he calmly turned his wrist, took out a handful of white ash from his sleeve, and threw it towards Chu Zhuochuan, and then fell to the side with the power of the sword.

Chu Zhuochuan looked at the ball of dust in the air and had no choice but to dodge to the side.

"How dare you use such a dirty trick!"

After dodging the ball of dust, Chu Zhuochuan was furious. He shook his wrist and chopped at the masked man lying on the ground with the gun in both hands. The man used his body skills again and rolled up from the ground in an instant, raising his sword above his head as if to block the chopping force of the spear, but he underestimated Chu Zhuochuan's strength.

The moment the spear and the sword came into contact, he felt something was wrong, but he had no way to avoid it and could only let the spear chop down until the force reached his hands and shook his sword away. Then, the spear went straight to his heart and stabbed him in the heart. In an instant, his body collapsed uncontrollably, and he glared at the gunman with unbelievable eyes. He vomited blood and died.

When the masked men nearby saw that the man had killed him, they all rushed over madly. They had their own mission and had been given death orders before to kill these men at Luoxiapo.
