Chu Junze couldn't help but count the days in his mind. It had been almost seven days since Wu Duo had died. Didn't the people on Longhu Mountain become suspicious?

Su Qianqian had the same doubts, but now was not the time to think about this.

Those 30,000 private soldiers are still entrenched on Longhu Mountain. After all, they are a hidden danger, so they must be resolved as soon as possible.

It would be best if they could be recruited, after all, they are all human lives, so Chu Junze still wants to give it a try. If they refuse to surrender, then he will have no choice but to fight.

Chu Junze thought so in his heart, and said: "Qianqian, I want to go to Longhu Mountain in person and try to recruit them."

He looked at Su Qianqian, with a gleam of determination in his eyes, "If successful, not only can a war be avoided, but it can also add strength to the country.

But this trip will be full of dangers, I need you to stay in the capital and help me stabilize the situation."

Su Qianqian's heart tightened. She knew that Chu Junze was worried about her safety, but she didn't want him to face the danger alone. "I can go with you..."

Chu Junze shook his head gently and interrupted her, "Qianqian, I know you are worried about me, but this is my responsibility as the Son of Heaven. Believe me, I will definitely return safely."

Su Qianqian bit her lip and finally nodded, "Okay, then you must be careful. I will wait for you to come back in Beijing." Chu Junze smiled and hugged Su Qianqian.

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Yin Yi quickly left.

Eunuch Xi had already lowered his head and smiled secretly. This level of disgust was just a little bit of sprinkling.

You know, in order to be closer to each other, they usually don't even allow the night watchers to stay.

After Chu Junze comforted Su Qianqian, he began to prepare for the trip to Longhu Mountain.

He secretly mobilized a group of elite soldiers and arranged for reliable generals to stay in the capital to ensure its stability.

A few days later, Chu Junze, who had arranged everything, led the team on the journey to Longhu Mountain.

Before leaving, Su Qianqian prepared a lot of weapons and equipment that he might need, as well as some essential medicines.

Along the way, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, with both the hope of successfully recruiting and the worry about unknown dangers.

When they finally arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Chu Junze did not rush up the mountain. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to set up camp.

According to the information Yin Yi had previously obtained, there is still a person in power on Longhu Mountain, so he thought of "capture the leader first", and then negotiate after taking that person down.

Thinking of this, Chu Junze decided to take a few agile secret guards up the mountain to investigate the situation and look for the trace of the person in power.

When night fell, Chu Junze and the secret guards shuttled through the mountains and forests like ghosts, approaching the top of the mountain.

They moved carefully between the mountains and forests, remaining vigilant at all times.

Soon after, they finally arrived at a small wooden house hidden in the mountains. There were several guards in front of the house, looking very alert. Yin Yi and his team approached quietly, ready to knock them down directly and then capture the one in the house alive.

However, at this moment, a guard seemed to notice something. He turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction where the secret guards were hiding.

The guard's eyes were sharp, like a hawk's. He scanned the surrounding darkness, as if searching for something.

Chu Junze's heart tightened and he signaled the secret guards not to take any action for the time being.

He quietly observed the guards' actions, trying to determine whether they had noticed their presence.

As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more tense. Suddenly, the guard seemed to have received a signal, and he turned around, walked into the cabin, and closed the door.

Seeing this, Chu Junze breathed a sigh of relief.

He whispered, "We will split into two groups. One group will monitor the cabin, and the other group will go around to the back to see if there are other entrances. Once we find any traces of the person in power, send a signal immediately."

The secret guards took the order and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness. Chu Junze stayed where he was, continuing to closely monitor the movements in the wooden house.

In fact, he had the silencer gun given to him by Su Qianqian, but he only brought one. If he couldn't knock them all down at the same time, he would be easily exposed.

So he ordered his secret guards to surround the cabin and attack at the same time.

When Chu Junze made a gesture to attack, the secret guards were like arrows shot from a bow and quickly knocked down the guards at the door.

Then they successfully broke through the defense line and entered the wooden house. At this time, there was a tense atmosphere in the house, and Chu Junze followed closely behind.

Under the dim light, the secret guards quickly tied up the man. Chu Junze walked towards him step by step with cold eyes.

"How did you find this place..." His voice was full of shock.

Chu Junze did not answer. He raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at his throat.

"Tell me, who are you? What is your relationship with Wu Duo?" His tone was calm but carried an irresistible majesty.

"I'm Jiang Hai, Wu Duo's military advisor. Has he been captured by you?" Jiang Hai looked at Chu Junze coldly.

"Hmph, he wasn't captured by us, he was killed by us." Chu Junze said without any warmth in his voice.

Jiang Hai's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure, "I didn't think he was so useless and died so soon, huh~"

Jiang Hai sneered, "Do you think you can sit back and relax after killing Wu Duo? He is just a pawn in our plan."

Chu Junze's heart sank. He realized that things might be more complicated than he thought. "What is your purpose?"

Jiang Hai kept silent, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

Seeing this, Chu Junze looked him in the eyes fiercely and said, "Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't tell me? Haha~"

Before Jiang Hai could react, Chu Junze took out the truth serum that Su Qianqian gave him and quickly gave him an injection.

Fortunately, his Qianqian was thoughtful and brought him a lot of things, which were just right for him to use now.

Yin Yi stood aside waiting excitedly. It was so satisfying to see Wu Duo answer every question after he was given an injection last time. Now he could see the effect of the "truth serum" again, which was really refreshing!

After a while, Jiang Hai's body began to become out of control, then his eyes began to become blurred, and his mouth opened involuntarily.

"Tell me, what is your plan?" Chu Junze asked.

"We want to..." Jiang Hai slowly revealed their conspiracy.

It turns out that Wu Duo is not a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. All of this is a lie made up by Jiang Hai in order to use him to kill Chu Junze.

Then he used various means to stir up civil unrest, took advantage of the situation and seized power in Zhao State.

Chu Junze's expression became more gloomy, "How courageous!"

After learning the truth, Chu Junze killed him with a single blow, and then he instructed Yin Yi, "Disguise yourself as him, and take care of all the private soldiers here."

"Yes, I obey your command!" After receiving the order, Yin Yi immediately began to change his appearance.

Chu Junze led his group and left the place under the cover of night.
