In the East King's Mansion, Xia Wuyou went back to his own courtyard and started cultivating his martial arts!
Xia Wuyou practiced every basic fist technique, basic sword technique, and so on. It was easy for him to master these basic techniques, but it would take time for him to master them.
The result was also great. His body no longer felt bloated and became lighter.
"At this rate, in less than three days, this king will be able to break through to the Connate realm!”Xia Wuyou's control over the power in his body was getting better and better. After his initial curiosity, he now had some understanding of martial arts.
As night fell and it was nearing midnight, a figure leaped in from outside the Imperial Residence. Mo Qingfeng, who was guarding Xia Wuyou's side, had a solemn expression on his face.
"Your Highness, someone has broken into the Imperial Residence!" Mo Qingfeng said to Xia Wuyou.
"As planned, let's go to the princess consort's courtyard!”Xia Wuyou said indifferently.
Then, the two of them headed toward Chu Mingyue's courtyard.
In Chu Mingyue's courtyard, a black figure stopped in the open space in the front yard.
"City Guard Army Commander Wang Gu!" Chu Liangyu, the commander of the second team of guards, led a small team of guards to block the road ahead.
"It's me. Where is the princess?" Wang Gu pulled down his black mask, his expression gloomy.
He had never thought that his wife and children, whom he had tried his best to protect, would be poisoned. Moreover, the person behind it was Consort Chu Mingyue. For the safety of his wife and children, he had no choice but to come to the Prince's mansion late at night.
"Commander Wang, this prince has been waiting here for a long time!”Chu Mingyue's calm voice came from the hall in front of them. Chu Liangyu and his men also moved away, revealing the beautiful figure sitting at the head of the hall.
From the outside, Chu Mingyue was the only one in the hall. It seemed empty and dignified.
"Princess Chu Mingyue!" Looking at this figure, Wang Gu's expression changed slightly. An unknown pressure suddenly descended, causing him to feel a sense of reverence. This was especially so for that pair of calm eyes, as if they could see through him, causing one's heart to palpitate.
Wang Gu had never thought that this princess would be so extraordinary.
"The commander of the city guards greets Dong Wangfei!”Wang Gu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still walked into the hall and bowed.
"Commander Wang, please take a seat!" Chu Mingyue said lightly.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
At this moment, the voices of Chu Liangyu and the other guards came from outside the door.
"No need for formalities!" Xia Wuyou's calm voice was heard. Then, he and Mo Qingfeng walked into the hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" When Wang Gu saw Xia Wuyou, he immediately bowed!
"Your Highness!" Chu Mingyue's eyes flashed with hesitation. In the end, she stood up from her seat and bowed to Xia Wuyou as well.
"Beloved Consort, sit!" Xia Wuyou calmly walked to the seat of honor and sat down beside Chu Mingyue. He then smiled at Chu Mingyue and looked at the first seat on the left.
Chu Mingyue walked over expressionlessly. In front of outsiders, she had no choice but to give Xia Wuyou face.
"Commander Wang, you should sit too!" Seeing that Chu Mingyue was obedient, Xia Wuyou's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Then, he looked at Wang Gu.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Gu said respectfully. He sat on the other side with a trace of doubt.
As for Mo Qingfeng, he stood quietly behind Xia Wuyou like an invisible person.
"Commander Wang has come late at night. I believe you already have an answer in your heart!”Xia Wuyou didn't want to waste too much time on Wang Gu, so he went straight to the point.
"Your Highness, I!" Wang Gu's expression changed and he immediately stood up.
"Commander Wang, bengong advise you to think clearly before you speak. This is the ornament of your wife in the Imperial City!”Chu Mingyue could tell at a glance that Wang Gu still wanted to struggle and not participate, so she directly threw out an item to seal what he wanted to say.
This was a high-grade jade pendant that her subordinate, Dark Phoenix, had taken from Wang Gu's wife.
"This is…" Wang Gu took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. His expression changed drastically. He looked at Chu Mingyue with shock and nervousness.
"Your wife and children in the dynasty have already fallen into bengong's hands. They have now safely left the Imperial City!”Chu Mingyue said calmly as if she was talking about something unimportant.
"Commander Wang, do you have a decision now?”Xia Wuyou said to Wang Gu.
"Do I still have a choice?" Wang Gu looked at the calm expressions of the two of them and his expression changed. In the end, it was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked dry as he spoke weakly.
"We either live together or die together!”Xia Wuyou said indifferently.
"But even if I help His Highness, His Highness still can't defeat Ye Kuang's army!”Wang Gu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He wanted Xia Wuyou and Chu Mingyue to give up.
Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for the safety of his wife and children in the Imperial City, he would have leaned towards Ye Kuang long ago.
"Commander Wang doesn't need to worry about whether we can win or not. Since we dare to resist, we naturally have confidence. You only need to lead your 50,000 city guards to obey orders!”Xia Wuyou said confidently.
"Alright, for the safety of my wife and children, I will obey your orders. However, after this, please let them go. After all, they are innocent!”Wang Gu saw Xia Wuyou's determination and could only helplessly say.
Both of their wives and children were in each other's hands, so he had no choice but to obey.
"Don't worry, as long as you help me take the county capital, your wife and children will naturally return to you safely!”Xia Wuyou guaranteed.
Chu Mingyue, who was at the side, was secretly annoyed after hearing this. His Highness actually made a decision without discussing it with her. After all, she was the one who had been operating all this.
However, in front of outsiders, Chu Mingyue couldn't argue with Xia Wuyou. She only secretly remembered this debt.
"I wonder when your highness is going to act, so this subordinate can make preparations early!”Wang Gu restrained his emotions and asked.
Since he had made his decision, Wang Gu naturally did not want things to fail, because failure also meant death.
"Tomorrow, when the sun rises, this king will naturally send a message to you. You must be careful not to leak the news, or you know the consequences!”Xia Wuyou said seriously.
"Your Highness, don't worry. This matter concerns the life and death of your wife and children.”Wang Gu said in a deep voice.
"In that case, you can go back!" Xia Wuyou nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness. This subordinate will take his leave!" Wang Gu left respectfully.
Only Xia Wuyou and Chu Mingyue were left in the hall.
"Your Highness is really awe-inspiring!" Chu Mingyue looked at Xia Wuyou and snorted coldly.
"Beloved Consort, you and I are husband and wife. We are one. This Prince is mighty, but Beloved Consort also has face, right?”Xia Wuyou knew what Chu Mingyue meant, but he didn't care.
At this moment, Chu Mingyue was like a little girl who had lost her temper.
