My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

"Your Highness, how could I possibly betray you and His Majesty?" Zhu Qi knew that he could not hide his thoughts from Lu Yinheng, so he was very frank.

He frankly stated his inner thoughts: "My main goal is to gain merit. Besides that, I also hope he can die with some dignity. After all, he was the master he once served."

Lu Yinheng said, "You can be considered a man of loyalty and righteousness."

As long as Qi Jingwang is not let go and causes him trouble later, he will not care.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhu Qi bowed to Lu Yinheng with both hands.

Lu Yinheng raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to stand on ceremony. He then began to explain the plan to him.

He first led a group of people on horseback to come over, while the main force was still behind.

Given the manpower he currently possesses, Zhu Qi would need perfect cooperation from his side to persuade Wei Chengfeng to surrender.

Soon, as planned, Zhu Qi appeared before Wei Chengfeng without anyone noticing.

Zhu Qi used to be a favorite of King Qi Jing, and at the king's behest, he made things difficult for Wei Chengfeng quite a bit.

Wei Chengfeng's expression changed as soon as he saw Zhu Qi.

Especially now, he had somehow managed to bypass the numerous guards and appear before him. Past resentment and fear instantly ignited a murderous intent within Wei Chengfeng.

He thrust his sword toward Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi quickly deflected Wei Chengfeng's killing move. While fighting him, he said, "General Wei, please don't rush to attack. I have come here today to discuss important matters. Please give me a chance to finish speaking."

Wei Chengfeng had fought Zhu Qi before, and Zhu Qi and he had only managed to draw against each other in the past.

This time, however, Zhu Qi not only easily deflected his attacks, but also had the energy to talk to him.

This surprised him.

Zhu Qi's kung fu has improved so much?

While surprised, his sense of crisis intensified. He completely ignored what Zhu Qi was saying and focused solely on dealing with Zhu Qi.

The sounds of their fight had already alerted the guards in the mansion.

Wei Chengfeng's personal guards were already armed with swords, ready to fight Zhu Qi alongside him. Meanwhile, the archers in the mansion were also prepared, waiting for the right opportunity to turn Zhu Qi into a pincushion.

However, the people were moving too fast, and their positions were constantly changing. The archers couldn't find an opportunity and could only shoot at Zhu Qi.

What infuriated Wei Chengfeng even more was that he and his guards attacked Zhu Qi simultaneously, yet Zhu Qi showed no signs of defeat. On the contrary, his guards were quickly wounded.

This shows that Zhu Qi's skill has not improved a little, but significantly. Yet, less than a year has passed since their last encounter. How did he manage to improve so much in such a short time?

A possibility suddenly occurred to him, and he said angrily, "Zhu Qi, have you been hiding your strength all along?"

Zhu Qi said, "General Wei, I did not."

"That's impossible!" Wei Chengfeng said, "If you hadn't deliberately hidden your strength before, how could your skills have improved so much?"

In fact, Zhu Qi himself was also very surprised.

He knew that his internal strength had increased significantly recently due to training with Lu Yinheng and taking the pills bestowed by His Majesty.

His skills have also improved a lot compared to before.

However, before he fought Wei Chengfeng, he didn't really know how much his skills had improved.

It wasn't until his fight with Wei Chengfeng that he suddenly realized how much his strength had improved in such a short time.

Thinking that his internal strength would improve every time he took the pills given by Ji Yunshuang, he blurted out, "My kung fu has improved so quickly, all thanks to His Majesty the Divine Lord. General, I have come today to discuss matters related to His Majesty the Divine Lord with you."

"What's there to talk about?" Wei Chengfeng said, "Like you? Abandoning your family and country to become her lackey?"
