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

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng spoke with a solemn expression.

"Alright, that's all."

"Once you memorize the Dragon Tiger Bath formula, you can destroy it."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and said to Yang Cheng.

He had only glanced at it, yet he had already memorized all the ingredients for the Dragon Tiger Medicinal Bath, as well as the entire preparation process.

"Yes."

Yang Cheng responded and took the prescription for the Dragon Tiger Bath from Chu Xiu's hand and began to read it.

After reading it, Yang Cheng moved his hands and used his killing intent to crush the Dragon Tiger Bath formula into powder.

Chu Xiu looked at Fang Heng and the others and said, "Is there anything else?"

If there's nothing else, you may leave.

"Your Excellency, I have something to report!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng spoke with a solemn expression.

"What's the matter."

Chu Xiu said with a calm expression.

"My lord, we have found out who commissioned the Seven Killers Organization to assassinate you!"

A murderous glint flashed in Fang Heng's eyes as he spoke with chilling ferocity.

"Oh?"

"who is it?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and said.

"My lord, this is Kong Yuancheng, the Vice Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"It was Kong Yuancheng who arranged for his steward to go to the Seven Killings organization and pay them 50,000 taels of silver to assassinate you, sir."

"This is evidence that my subordinates found in the ledgers of the Seven Killers organization."

"Besides the Seven Killings Organization's ledgers, there are also correspondence between the Kong family steward and the Seven Killings Organization as evidence!"

Fang Heng said with a serious expression.

Pei Shiji and the others looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of anticipation on their faces.

He wished Chu Xiu would immediately order the arrest of Kong Yuancheng.

Of course, they also know that this is not very realistic.

Regardless, Kong Yuancheng was a deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

A high-ranking official of the fourth rank!

Chu Xiu, as the garrison commander of the Northern Garrison, was actually only a fourth-rank official.

To be precise, Chu Xiu was Kong Yuancheng's subordinate.

It's just that Kong Yuancheng can't command or control Chu Xiu.

However, according to the rules, to arrest Kong Yuancheng, Chu Xiu must inform Empress Murong Si and obtain her decree before taking action against him.

Otherwise, Chu Xiu would be committing insubordination.

If they fail to capture Kong Yuancheng, they may be arrested by Kong Yuancheng on charges of insubordination.

"How strong is Kong Yuancheng?"

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"Your Excellency, I have investigated and found out."

"Kong Yuancheng is at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"The steward of Kong Yuancheng's household, the steward of the Kong family, is a master who has reached the third level of the Yuan Shen realm."

"Within the Kong family mansion, there are also quite a few guards at the Grandmaster level."

Fang Heng considered for a moment before speaking.

Is Kong Yuancheng at home?

Chu Xiu's heart stirred, and he asked Fang Heng.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Kong Yuancheng is not at home. He usually stays at the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters to work in the mornings."

"I won't be going home until the afternoon."

Without hesitation, Fang Heng said, "According to reports from our informants in the Northern Garrison, Kong Yuancheng went to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters early this morning."

"That is to say, there is currently only one Nascent Soul Realm Third Stage Completion Nascent Soul True Person in the Kong Family Mansion."

"And then there was only a group of Grandmaster-level guards?"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes as he asked Fang Heng.

Last night, after returning home, he not only practiced the Taiyin Visualization Method, but also the Innate Qiankun Skill.

You should know that after taking the Taiqing Golden Elixir, he had already possessed the appearance of a true celestial being.

His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the first level of the Grandmaster realm, and he was only one step away from the second level of the Grandmaster realm.

and so.

Last night, his cultivation level naturally broke through to the second level of the Grandmaster realm.

Even if his current strength is not as good as Kong Yuancheng's, it is already very close!

This is the power of the Innate Qiankun Skill!

Not to mention, Chu Xiu also possesses the Killing Blade Intent, the Immortal-Slaying Draw Sword Technique, and the Immortal-Slaying Blade Intent.

They could definitely challenge Kong Yuancheng!

"Your Excellency, there is indeed only one Nascent Soul True Person in the Kong Family Mansion."

Fang Heng nodded and tentatively asked, "Does Your Excellency intend to use the Three Laughs Powder to take over the Kong family mansion first?"

Pei Shiji and the others' eyes lit up. That's right!

How could they forget about the Three Laughs Elixir!

If the Kong family mansion were captured by their Northern Garrison, Kong Yuancheng would definitely return home immediately upon receiving the news.

If they are prepared but caught off guard, they might be able to trick Kong Yuancheng as well.

Even if it wasn't the Three Laughs Powder, their Northern Garrison Command still had other poisons.

"A mere Confucius Mansion is not enough for me to use the Three Laughs Carefree Powder."

Chu Xiu stood up and said, "Fang Heng, I will give you one hour."

Handle the task I just assigned to you.

An hour later, lead a thousand Sky Guards and accompany me to the Kong residence!

"Once I've taken over the Kong residence, we'll head to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters to arrest Kong Yuancheng!"

Insubordination?

They dared to lay a hand on Chu Xiu.

Don't even mention that Kong Yuancheng was just a deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Even if Kong Yuancheng was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Chu Xiu still dared to lead the elite guards of the Northern Garrison to storm into the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Heng shouted excitedly.

"As for you, stay in our Northern Garrison Command and cultivate diligently. There will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future!"

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Pei Shiji and the others.

"Yes."

Pei Shiji and the others spoke with utmost respect.

Although they felt a pang of regret, they still wanted to go with Chu Xiu.

But as Chu Xiu said, once their strength increases, such things will happen frequently.

Chu Xiu waved to Fang Heng and the others, remaining silent.

Fang Heng and the others bowed and then withdrew.

An hour later.

Chu Xiu led a large entourage of Northern Garrison Cavalry to the Kong Mansion.

Less than a cup of tea.

Chu Xiu then led a group of Northern Garrison Commanders to the outside of the Kong residence.

Upon seeing Chu Xiu arrive with so many elite guards from the Northern Garrison, the guards outside the Kong residence were greatly alarmed.

A guard from the Confucius Mansion used his light-footed skill to head into the mansion.

One of the guards from the Kong family bowed to Chu Xiu and said respectfully, "I wonder what brings you here today, Lord Chu? My master is currently at the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

If Lord Chu wishes to see my master, he will likely have to visit the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Clearly, these guards of the Kong family had all seen Chu Xiu's portrait and could recognize him.

"Surround the entire Kong residence with the Sky Guards! Do not let a single person escape!"

"Anyone who dares to force their way in will be killed without mercy!"

Chu Xiu didn't even glance at the guards of the Kong family, and said with a chilling murderous aura.

"Yes!"

A thousand elite cavalrymen from the Northern Garrison Command and the Sky Guards shouted in unison.

The sound was so powerful that it was as if a thunderclap resounded throughout the entire Confucius Mansion!
