Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

The sun rises and sets in Ya'an City, and winter turns to spring.

Prince Mu Jiu, the hostage of the Chu State, has been quiet for a long time. He stays peacefully in the Zixiang Palace every day, but the secret guards around him are nowhere to be seen.

Emperor Qi Zhao looked at the secret letter on the table. In the past few months, that kid had been squatting quietly in the mansion and had never gone out.

"Ford."

He stroked the brocade bag left by Yue Dengxian. Li You was his fourth uncle's daughter, but she was willing to sacrifice herself for Mu Lanxun, and his fourth uncle didn't react at all. Is it true that because he didn't grow up by his side, he has no feelings for her?

"Prince Mu Jiu, how long will it take?"

It seemed as if Ford, the old worm, was just waiting for him to ask.

"Your Majesty, it will expire in three months."

Three months...

Emperor Qi Zhao lowered his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Make arrangements and let him leave in a month."

He wanted to see what the future would be like for someone like Li You who was willing to make such sacrifices.

If we give him two more months, what kind of trouble can that kid make?

……

"Master, you can go now." Yuanri stood at the door, carrying a large bag behind him, like an eagle waiting to soar.

Emperor Qi Zhao did not make any announcement, but just let them go silently. Now, as long as they leave Shangli, it will not be easy for them to come back.

Mu Lanxun closed his eyes, his gaze gleaming with bloodthirsty excitement. "Tell Emperor Qi Zhao that Mu Jiu will repay the debt in the next two months."

"Chun Geng and Xia Feng will stay in Ya'an and will set off with the team in two months."

"Yuanri, you and the rest of the people will split into two groups. One group will sneak back to the country first, and the other group will follow me to meet someone by a small path."

He gave some instructions and made arrangements for all the capable people at hand.

Come and get the world he wants!

There are four countries: Shangli, Chu, Feiyun and Fufeng.

Mengzhou, Qingzhou, Luozhou, Gongzhou and Ganzhou are the five states.

The Shangli State was powerful, rich in resources, and had a unique geographical location. After defeating the Chu State several years ago, its military strength had ranked first.

Next are the Chu State and the Feiyun State. The Chu State suffered heavy losses in the war and its national strength has seriously declined.

The Feiyun Kingdom has a dangerous geographical location, but it has a vast territory and a sparse population. However, it has never experienced war for many years, and its national strength is comparable to that of the current Chu Kingdom.

The Fufeng Kingdom was in a more awkward situation. Part of its territory was sandwiched between Shangli and Chu, like a buffer zone between the two countries. As long as the two were safe, it could be free and easy, acting like a fence-sitter.

As for the other five states, they are either hilly highlands, remote and extremely cold places, or some grassland and desert areas, which are not very suitable for people to live and recuperate.

But as it was passed down from generation to generation, it gradually grew in size. If the five states were to unite, their power would not be underestimated.

Shangli State, the Three Kingdoms, and the Five States also barely formed a three-party force, restraining each other.

Shangli State was strong and powerful, and no one dared to make any plans against it. The fact that the current ruler of Chu State was a tyrant had been secretly spread, causing some people to become restless in the past two years.

Mu Lanxun had a very good grasp of the timing of his sneak return to the country. It only took him a month to find out the latest situation in various countries.

Another month was spent persuading and bribing the royal officials and various noble families of the Chu State. He almost knew both himself and the enemy, and the only thing missing was the east wind.

So, on Mu Lanxun's eighteenth birthday, he embarked on a high-profile journey back to his country, and Emperor Qi Zhao even saw him off in person.

Not surprisingly, when approaching Phoenix City on the border of Shangli, the Proton team returning home was ambushed.

Mu Lanxun held the sword in hand, laughing carefreely, "I am Mu Lanxun, the legitimate ninth prince of the Chu Kingdom! Who are you? How dare you come and assassinate me?"

After pretending to scold him, he raised his sword and killed several people with a bloody and cruel method, chopping them from the legs upwards to the neck...

All the souls killed by the sword watched their dislocated bodies fall to the ground, while the man who was still chopping and slashing with the sword was as fast as lightning, like a life harvester, unstoppable.

Yuanri followed Mu Lanxun closely. His master's skills became better and better, and the ordinary flesh wounds on his body could heal in just a few days.

Such an amazing physique, flexible mind, and decisive means also made the people of Chu State secretly admire him and even worship him as a god.

Mu Lanxun took advantage of the assassination attempt and found Emperor Chu as soon as he returned to Chu State. He acted like a weak prince who had a difficult return to the country. In public, Emperor Chu had to send troops to suppress some disloyal people.

Mu Lanxun naturally took control of some of the military power, and many people in the royal family of Chu State began to follow his lead.

Emperor Chu reigned for sixteen years but achieved little. In the second year after the Ninth Prince returned to the country, he was forced to "abdicate". The Ninth Prince was appointed as the next crown prince and was given full authority to oversee the country.

The following year, the crown prince turned twenty years old and officially ascended the throne, becoming the new Emperor Chu, with the reign title Xihui.

In the next five years, the young Emperor Xihui led his personal soldiers and generals to conquer the five surrounding states. He always went out with a lot of fanfare but returned quietly.

No one knew that three of the five states had surrendered to the State of Chu as early as the third year of Xihui. In order to prevent Emperor Shangli Qizhao from making a move, Emperor Xihui had always kept his true intentions hidden.

"Master, I'm afraid the Qinghai and Gansu provinces have heard the news. There has been a noticeable movement of people recently."

Yuanri's eyebrows and eyes became more calm, his pair of black eyes were deep, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He was completely different from seven years ago.

They still followed Emperor Xihui day and night. Although they had no official positions, they were unique in the palace.

Emperor Xihui was already twenty-five years old and had grown into a handsome young man, but he was full of gloom and there was an endless sinister look in his eyes.

"In that case, why not go and visit them? Since they already feel this way, how can I disappoint them..."

Yuanri trembled all over, and blood was about to flow like a river again.

In recent years, the master's wars have become more and more intense. If Qinghai and Gansu provinces are taken into his possession at this time, Shangli State will no longer be able to hide the truth.

That Qi Zhao Emperor...

Emperor Xihui cast a cold gaze over him, "After we've dealt with the Qinghai and Gansu provinces, it's time to leave..."
