The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"My lord, our 3,000 elite Imperial Guards have arrived."

A secret agent from the Embroidered Uniform Guard strode up to Chu Xiu, who was standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, and spoke respectfully.

"Very good, Brother Ximen has finished healing."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, glanced at the study where Ximen Jue was healing, and said.

Using his aura-observation technique, he could see that Ximen Jue's aura had completely recovered.

The voice just fell.

crunch...

The study door was pushed open, and Ximen Jue, his face showing excitement, came to Chu Xiu and said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Lord Chu, for bestowing upon me the Rejuvenating Pill, such a sacred medicine for healing!"

Only after actually taking the Rejuvenation Pill did he realize just how powerful its effects were.

It was only after understanding the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill that he felt even more grateful.

"Brother Ximen, you're too kind."

"Brother Ximen suffered such serious injuries for the sake of our Great Zhou Dynasty. It is only right that I give Brother Ximen the Rejuvenation Pill to heal his injuries."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"Lord Chu, the three thousand elite Imperial Guards should have arrived by now, right?"

Ximen glanced at the outside of the restaurant in despair and asked Chu Xiu.

He could already sense a variety of auras outside the restaurant, including quite a few at the Nascent Soul Realm and even the Dharma Aspect Realm.

"Yes, we've arrived."

"Brother Ximen, let's go."

"Let's go to the Wuji Sect right now!"

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and said to Ximen Jue.

"Okay, I'll lead the way!"

Ximen Jue's expression turned solemn, and he spoke in a firm and powerful voice.

Chu Xiu moved and disappeared from the spot.

Simon quickly caught up.

In the blink of an eye.

Chu Xiu and his companion appeared outside the restaurant.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Upon seeing Chu Xiu appear, Fang Heng and the other two knelt down in unison before the elite Imperial Guards and shouted loudly.

"No need for formalities, let's set off for the Wuji Sect now."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, sir!"

After Fang Heng and his two companions, along with a group of elite Imperial Guards, expressed their gratitude, they stood up.

Ximen Jue looked at the three thousand elite Imperial Guards and was filled with awe.

These three thousand elite Imperial Guards all possessed an incredibly strong murderous aura, clearly indicating that they were seasoned veterans who had experienced battles and seen blood.

"Brother Ximen, thank you for your trouble."

Chu Xiu looked at Ximen Jue and said.

"It is my duty, Lord Chu. Please come with me."

Ximen Jue left those words behind and then flashed off toward the Wuji Sect.

Chu Xiu led over three thousand elite Imperial Guards to follow behind Ximen Jue.

County Lieutenant's Mansion.

An elderly man with white hair appeared deep within the prefectural governor's mansion, shouting urgently, "Master, something terrible has happened!"

This white-haired old man was none other than Qin Bo, the steward of the prefectural command.

"What's the matter?"

A voice came from a room deep inside the prefectural governor's mansion.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Embroidered Uniform Guard suddenly descended upon our Shangdang County. Because the city gate commander did not open the city gate immediately, the Embroidered Uniform Guard broke into the city directly, causing heavy casualties among the city gate soldiers!"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard must have received the news and learned what we are doing, which is why they suddenly descended upon Shangdang County!"

A hint of panic flashed across Qin Bo's face as he spoke quickly.

boom!

The door was broken.

A middle-aged man dressed in a white undergarment appeared before Uncle Qin.

It was none other than Sima Feng, the Commandant of Shangdang Commandery!

Through the broken door, five beautiful, naked women could be seen on the large bed in the room.

"The Embroidered Uniform Guards have arrived?"

"It must have been Ximen Jue who passed the message out through the secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Sima Feng said with an extremely gloomy expression.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

Qin Bo looked at Sima Feng with a nervous expression and asked.

"Lord Qin, go and gather three thousand county soldiers. I will lead them to take a shortcut and intercept the Embroidered Uniform Guards ahead of time!"

"The arrival of the Embroidered Uniform Guard must be aimed at the Wuji Sect!"

A cold glint flashed in Sima Feng's eyes as he said in a chilling voice, "Have three thousand county soldiers wait for me at the drill ground!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Sima Feng's calm demeanor, Qin Bo breathed a slight sigh of relief and spoke with utmost respect.

Indeed, there were only five thousand soldiers in the entire prefecture.

However, among these five thousand county soldiers, there was also a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons.

The three thousand county soldiers that Sima Feng trusted most were the elite of his troops, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them his personal guards.

With these three thousand county soldiers, plus Sima Feng's strength, if they formed a battle formation, even the Embroidered Uniform Guard would only face certain death.

"After notifying the three thousand county soldiers, Qin Bo went to Wuji Sect as quickly as possible."

"Send my second brother to lead a group of experts from the Wuji Sect to provide support!"

"Also, inform the Ancestor to come out of seclusion and be ready to provide support at any time!"

Sima Feng felt a sense of unease. Being cautious by nature, he pondered for a moment and then added a sentence to Qin Bo.

You should know that their Sima clan's ancestor has always been in seclusion, and he will not easily disturb him unless it is a critical moment.

After all, their Sima clan's ancestor wanted to break through from the Ascension Realm to the Celestial Realm in one fell swoop!

Once their Sima clan produces a peerless master who reaches the Celestial Realm level.

Although it is unrealistic to expect the Sima clan to transform from a powerful local family into a true aristocratic family, comparable to the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families, which could control the lives and deaths of countless people in a province and influence the direction of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty in the imperial court.

However, it can at least enhance the prestige and strength of the entire Sima clan to some extent.

In the future, the Sima family may very well grow into a powerful clan!

The future is uncertain, and we are all potential dragons!

The world is about to descend into chaos!

Even powerful families could be completely dethroned, while these powerful figures could also have a chance to compete for power!

It is not impossible for him to be granted land and made a king, or even to rule the world!

"Yes, this old servant obeys."

Qin Bo's pupils contracted, his face turned solemn, and he spoke with a look of awe.

He moved swiftly and disappeared.

After all, this time, Sima Feng even summoned the Sima clan patriarch who was in seclusion.

How could he dare to waste a single second on such an important matter!

Sima Feng also disappeared from the spot.

After a stick of incense.

Chu Xiu and his group had already left the center of Shangdang County and arrived at an extremely remote place.

After all, the entire county town is very vast.

There are also mountains and forests within the county town.

For example, the Wuji Sect is located in the mountains within the county town.

This area is now part of the outer city of the prefecture.

"Stop!"

Chu Xiu raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, everyone immediately stopped.

Ximen Jue's expression turned serious, and he gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist with his right hand.

Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, and Luo Tianxi also became serious.

They sensed several figures appearing in front of them, blocking their path.

"I wondered who had the audacity to cause trouble in my Shangdang County!"

"I can't believe it was you!"

"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Chu Xiu!"

Sima Feng's voice came from afar, and then his figure appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

Sima Feng was completely shrouded in armor and held a jet-black spear.

Behind him were three thousand soldiers from Shangdang County, all clad in armor and wielding long spears.

These soldiers from Shangdang County truly deserve to be called elite troops.

The aura emanating from each of the county soldiers had reached the Innate Realm, or even the Grandmaster Realm.

Even those at the Nascent Soul Realm and the Dharma Aspect Realm exist.

However, there are only two people at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and they are already considered junior officers among the soldiers of Shangdang County.

He was Sima Feng's deputy.
