Chapter 139 It Doesn’t Matter, I Will Take Action! (Please Subscribe) (1/2)

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the splendid meeting hall.

Prosperous and solemn.

A group of courtiers had just received the news that the Great Yuan Dynasty was attacking, breaking through the border, and sweeping all the way towards the Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, the air in the meeting hall was so heavy that it seemed to solidify.

The atmosphere was tense.

The ministers of the imperial court gathered together to discuss countermeasures, but the senior ministers of the imperial court were sitting on their chairs with their brows furrowed, feeling extremely powerless.

"Da Yuan actually added insult to injury and used troops against me, Da Zhou, at this juncture."

"Your Majesty is not here right now, and maybe... the new king has not yet been established. How should we stop Dayuan?"

"It's difficult to handle. I suggest that His Highness the Crown Prince should not take power first and then ascend the throne at a later date."

A group of courtiers were discussing.

After an old minister said something like, "Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take charge on his behalf," the air became silent for a while.

Queen Wang, who was sitting at the top of the table, heard the veteran minister's words. Her face, which had been a noble and beautiful woman in the past, now looked a little gloomy. She chuckled and then said:

"Master Liu is joking."

"How can that child Wu Ling grow up in such a short period of time without receiving a serious royal education? If I let her take power on my behalf, I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to me, Da Zhou."

"For now, we can let my son Wu Ming take charge on his behalf. We can first repel the menacing attack of Dayuan and then discuss it later."

After Queen Wang's words came out, all the courtiers looked at each other.

Everyone is a person who has been struggling in the court for who knows how many years. Most of them are ghosts and ghosts. How can they not see the hidden thoughts of Queen Wang at this time.

This time when the Yuan Dynasty came, Wu Ling was not included in the court's discussions, and she was not even notified.

Some clues can already be seen.

If Wu Ming is really to be in power, Wu Ling's identity as the crown prince will only exist in name only. After Wu Ming defeated Dayuan, he has gained fame, prestige and power, so he can directly ascend the throne regardless of Wu Ling.

Queen Wang looked at the faces of the courtiers and didn't care what they thought. She just waited for a while, but there was still no response from them.

No courtier wants to be the first to show off.

silence.

Queen Wang became impatient, opened her lips slightly again, and said, "My lords, what do you think?"

"Now that the Yuan Dynasty is attacking, His Majesty is nowhere to be found, and the safety of our dynasty is at stake. If you still want to follow the ancient system, I am afraid that you will push our dynasty into an abyss."

Everyone fell into silence again.

Seeing that Queen Wang was about to make a decision directly.

An old minister walked out slowly.

This old minister was Zhuge Wansheng, the left prime minister of the dynasty, and an important minister in the dynasty. He had a solemn appearance, a majestic face, and gray hair, but he did not show much age.

He first gave a slight salute to Queen Wang, and then said, "Queen, I think that instead of letting His Highness Wu Ming take charge alone, it is better to let several other capable Highnesses take charge together."

Zhuge Wansheng's words came out.

Attracting the attention of the surrounding court ministers.

The eyes they looked at Zhuge Wansheng were full of surprise.

I didn't expect Zhuge Wansheng to speak like this.

However, everyone lowered their eyes, thought for a moment, and quickly came to their senses.

Zhuge Wansheng, an old fox, clearly wanted to give his grandson a chance.

Zhuge Wansheng's daughter also married the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and gave birth to a son, Wu Xing, who was the third prince.

Regardless of whether it is according to the ancient system or the prince succession system, Wu Xing has no chance.

Only by allowing Wu Xing to demonstrate his talents and gain recognition from various ministers in the imperial court can he have a chance to inherit the throne.

A group of court ministers understood this.

Queen Wang just listened to Zhuge Wansheng's words and understood what he meant.

Hehe sneered.

She had known for a long time that now that His Majesty was away, who would end up in the throne in the future would definitely lead to competition among various forces.

But I didn't expect it.

Zhuge Wansheng dared to refute his face in front of so many court ministers.

Queen Wang stared at Zhuge Wansheng with a close look.

Under the gaze of Queen Wang, Zhuge Wansheng smiled, very calmly and without the slightest sense of nervousness.

Queen Wang first looked away, and after glancing at the concubines sitting next to her, she felt a headache.

If Zhuge Wansheng hadn't started this, it would have been fine.

Even if these ladies wanted to support their children and compete for the throne, they were powerless and did not dare to say anything to their faces.

But now Zhuge Wansheng has opened this hole.

I'm afraid these noble concubines won't be as quiet as they were just now.

It was not as expected by Queen Wang.

The concubines who had not spoken just now spoke immediately:

"I think what the Prime Minister said makes sense."

"It's not appropriate to just let Wu Ming take power on his behalf. After all, Wu Ming is not very big and does not have much life experience. It is better for us other princes to work together and consult each other."

After a burst of chirping sounds.

Queen Wang rubbed her brow with a headache, and then said softly.

"Shut up first."

Queen Wang finished her words.

All the noble concubines closed their mouths at the right moment.

Queen Wang is still a queen, even if the Emperor of Zhou really dies.

Queen Wang's power is still very high.

Queen Wang looked at Zhuge Wansheng and a bunch of important officials behind him, frowned slowly, and then looked at the maid Xue'e behind her.

"Go and call the prince over."

When the maid Xue'e heard what Queen Wang said, she was stunned at first, then nodded quickly and retreated respectfully to the outside of the hall.

After leaving the meeting hall, Xue'e lifted her dress slightly and ran quickly to the prince's East Palace.

At the same time that the maid Xue'e left the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, a group of ministers heard what Queen Wang said, their faces were slightly stunned, and they looked at Queen Wang in disbelief.

Almost everyone couldn't figure it out.

Why did Queen Wang pull Wu Ling out at this time?

Everyone was fighting for the throne for the prince they supported. If you pull out Wu Ling, the orthodox prince, isn't it a slap in their faces?

Zhuge Wansheng also frowned slightly and looked at Queen Wang, but he seemed to react, nodded slightly, and stroked his beard.

He didn't say much.

He probably knew Queen Wang's purpose.

Now that the Yuan Dynasty was coming, it was most important to preserve the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not be preserved, what would be the use of getting the throne?

If a group of princes were really allowed to take power, and they had different opinions and even tripped each other up, it was unknown how much trouble would be caused.

Pull Wu Ling out now.

This kind of thing can also be avoided to a certain extent.

Zhuge Wansheng thought of this, stroking his pale beard and nodding slightly.

He looked outside the palace.

Waiting for Wu Ling to arrive.

After Queen Wang asked the maid Xue'e to pick up Wu Ling, she didn't say anything more. She sat in the first seat and closed her eyes to rest.

The chattering of the imperial concubine in her ears was automatically filtered out by her brain.

She didn't want to listen at all.

There was no need to listen.

It was nothing more than blaming her for involving Wu Ling.

Now that the Emperor of the Great Zhou is gone, Wu Ling, the princess brought back from nowhere by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, has no family background or power.

If nothing unexpected happens, she can't compete with their children at all.

No matter how powerful the throne is, it is impossible for Wu Ling to fall on her.

Involving Wu Ling is just giving Wu Ling a chance, isn't it?

"I gave her a chance, but can she grasp it?"

Queen Wang murmured in her heart, looking in the direction of the Prince's East Palace, smiling and shaking her head: "Probably not."

"Wu Ling is not a material for being an emperor. Even if she is allowed to hold the imperial power again, she will not make any achievements."

"She can play a role in maintaining the current situation, that's enough."

That's right.

Wu Ling at this time.

For Queen Wang, she is just a chess piece used to maintain the current situation, and can be abandoned after use.

Queen Wang thinks she has seen through this.

But the other concubines have not turned around yet, and are still entangled in whether Wu Ling will directly ascend the throne and become emperor after holding the imperial power.

This kind of thing is 100% impossible.

…………

Xue'e walked to the Prince's Eastern Palace, entered the courtyard, and soon found Wu Ling.

Wu Ling was sitting in a pavilion, holding her chin with one hand and fiddling with the black and white stones on the stone table with the other hand.

Her black hair was neatly tied behind her head, falling on her back, sliding out a graceful curve, and her snow-like skin set off her beautiful face.

It seemed to tell others that even if Wu Ling didn't need to dress up, she was still a beautiful woman.

Xue'e looked at Wu Ling, the Prince of the Eastern Palace, and couldn't help but secretly praise her.

Even in the palace, where such beauties gathered, Wu Ling's appearance could be said to be one of the best.

Xue'e approached Wu Ling.

Just as she walked to Wu Ling's side, before she could remind Wu Ling, she heard Wu Ling say:

"You are Aunt Xue from my mother's side, right?"

"Why did you suddenly come to see me today?"

As she spoke, Wu Ling slightly turned sideways, hiding the sadness in her bright eyes, and asked Xue'e.

Xue'e was instinctively stunned when she heard Wu Ling's words. She didn't expect that Wu Ling would find her so quickly.

You know, Xue'e's own cultivation is not low.

The sixth level of martial arts rebirth.

She can walk silently and without leaving any trace.

Wu Ling has just started practicing for a short time, what level has she reached now?

She can actually detect her figure.

Moreover, Xue'e also noticed that Wu Ling seemed to have noticed her existence from the beginning.

It's just that he didn't make it public at the beginning.

Xue'e looked at Wu Ling with a twinkling look in her eyes, but she noticed the coldness in Wu Ling's eyes and bowed her head respectfully again.

"Your Highness, the Queen asked me to invite you to the Council Hall to discuss something with you."

"Let me go to the Council Hall?" Wu Ling's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, and then asked: "What happened?"

Xue'e nodded slightly, "The Yuan Dynasty is attacking. Just now, a soldier came to report that the Yuan Dynasty has broken through a border of my Great Zhou, and all the cities in that area have been lost."

"The Queen summoned a group of ministers to discuss how to repel the enemy."

"That's why I asked you to invite your Highness to the Council Hall."

After Xue'e finished speaking, the air became quiet for a while.

She didn't hear any response from Wu Ling.

After waiting for a while, Xue'e couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly and look at Wu Ling.

Under Yu Xue'e's gaze, Wu Ling's bright eyes opened slightly, with a moved expression, and an incredible color appeared on her beautiful face.

"How could it be? It's really Dayuan?"

"Is he right??"

Wu Ling was shocked for a while.

Just when Xue'e finished saying the word "Dayuan", Wu Ling had already thought of something.

Thinking of what Cheng Guang said to her before.

Her heart couldn't help but tremble again.

After a while, Wu Ling came back to his senses for the first time.

Wu Ling then held Xue'e's arm tightly and asked:

"The Great Yuan attacked and the border was lost. When did it happen?"

Xue'e was startled by Wu Ling's movement, and then felt a pain in her arm. She really didn't expect that Wu Ling's hand was so strong.

Xue'e frowned slightly, endured the pain, and said respectfully to Wu Ling:

"Just a quarter of an hour ago."

Wu Ling finished listening to Xue'e's words.

"A quarter of an hour..."

"The Crown Prince seemed to have left a quarter of an hour ago. In other words, the Crown Prince knew about Dayuan's coming in advance. He already knew about it before General Cong informed him."

"Why would he know?"

Wu Ling murmured to himself, his voice weak.

Even if Xue'e was close to Wu Ling's body and Wu Ling's lips, she still couldn't hear clearly what Wu Ling was saying.

Seeing the change in Wu Ling's expression, Xue'e's hand seemed to be getting stronger. She couldn't sit still for a while and said quickly:

"Your Highness, let's go to the meeting hall first."

"The Queen and all the ministers of the imperial court are waiting for you, Your Highness, to take charge of the overall situation."

Wu Ling came back to his senses, glanced at Xue'e with bright eyes, then slowly let go of Xue'e's arm, and just said: "Let me take charge of the overall situation?"

"Aren't you asking me to act as a face? To balance the situation?"

When Wu Ling said these words, Xue'e's expression changed and she was extremely frightened, but she quickly suppressed it and smiled awkwardly.

"What did His Highness say..."

Xue'e wanted to say something else.

Wu Ling, however, had no intention of listening.

He waved his hand directly, interrupting Xue'e's words, indicating that she didn't need to say anything.

Then he stood up and walked towards the meeting hall.

When Wu Ling arrived not far from the meeting hall, the noise and discussion in the meeting hall became much quieter.

When Wu Ling entered the meeting hall, no one spoke.

At the same time, many ministers, concubines, and princes and princesses standing in the corner all set their sights on Wu Ling.

Wu Ling didn't pay attention to the people around him who were watching him. He glanced around the back of the meeting hall and looked at Queen Wang on the first seat.

First he bowed.

Then asked:

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Facing Wu Ling's salute, Queen Wang's expression didn't change much. She just nodded slightly, and then pointed to the position beside her.

"Come, sit down."

Wu Ling frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment, then walked to Queen Wang and sat down.

When Queen Wang saw Wu Ling sitting down, she said:

"Wu Ling, when you came, you should have roughly understood what happened from Xue'e's mouth."

Wu Ling nodded slightly.

Empress Wang said: "You won't need to explain much when you pick me up."

"You are the prince, and His Majesty is missing now. At this time, you are needed to take the lead."

Then he set his sights on the ministers in the meeting hall.

"Next, when the Yuan Dynasty attacks, you will take charge, and the court ministers will assist you. If you are not sure, just use the ministers' meaning."

"First defeat Dayuan and then talk."

When Wu Ling heard what Queen Wang said, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Ming behind Queen Wang.

The queen took Wu Ming with her.

It is impossible to say that Queen Wang has no ideas about the throne.

At present, he can still give himself the opportunity to take charge of the government.

Is this because he feels extra assured and trustful in himself, thinking that he can lead Da Zhou to defeat Da Yuan?

Or do you think that you do not pose any threat to Wu Ming or other princes?

Wu Ling lowered his eyes and said nothing, but responded softly.

Immediately afterwards, Queen Wang no longer set her sights on Wu Ling, and began to have real discussions with the county officials on how to deal with Dayuan.

Occasionally, when he needs to make a decision, he will ask Wu Ling for his opinion.

He said he was asking Wu Ling for his opinion.

But Wu Ling knew that most of them, whether it was the Queen or the ministers, did not take her seriously.

Most of them are superficial compliments.

If Wu Ling really wanted to make any decision, he would have to work hard.

"Your Highness, the Yuan Dynasty's soldiers are strong and powerful, and they are coming with ferocity. It seems that there are still strong men and women. We should transfer the Duke of Zhen Guo back immediately and let him guard the capital."

A middle-aged minister spoke. He was Qiu Hao, the Minister of War in the Central Government. He was tall and handsome. He seemed to have wielded a sword all year round. There were obvious calluses on the tiger's mouth.

After Qiu Hao's words came out, everyone else in the palace turned their attention to Wu Ling.

At this time, all they needed was Wu Ling's nod to issue an imperial edict from the crown prince and summon Duke Zhen to return.

Wu Ling frowned when he heard Qiu Hao's words.

She remembered what Cheng Guang said before.

If Cheng Guang, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, knew about the Yuan invasion of the Great Zhou in advance, the Duke of Zhenguo might have known about it.

If the Duke of Zhenguo could come back to protect the capital, he would have come back long ago, and there would not be no movement at this time.

There is a great possibility that he can no longer come back.

If Cheng Guang knew Wu Ling's thoughts at this time, he would probably sigh.

It has to be said.

Although Wu Ling guessed the wrong direction, the result was right.

"General Qiu, the Duke of Zhenguo may not be able to come back even if he issues an order at this time. I suggest that your Ministry of War mobilize all the troops at the border to deal with the Yuan Dynasty."

"At the same time, we can strengthen our ties with the surrounding dynasties, let the dynasties affiliated with us also contribute, and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation at this time."

After Wu Ling said this, Qiu Hao was obviously stunned. He did not expect Wu Ling to put forward his own opinions.

He thought Wu Ling was a prince who knew nothing, and instinctively wanted to refute, but after listening to Wu Ling's words carefully, except for not knowing why Wu Ling knew that the Duke of Zhenguo could not come back, there were no major problems with the other deployments.

Qiu Hao was thinking, and he had not had time to speak.

Queen Wang beside Wu Ling spoke slowly, her voice was neither salty nor bland.

"Wu Ling, just listen to Lord Qiu. Lord Qiu is trustworthy in terms of combat."

It was obvious that Queen Wang meant that she didn't want to hear any opinions from Wu Ling.

She didn't want Wu Ling to contribute in this situation.

She herself felt that even if Wu Ling contributed, Wu Ling couldn't do it.

So, it would be better to directly reject her at the decision-making stage.

It would also save any accidents from happening later.

After Queen Wang said this.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

The concubines around Queen Wang comforted Wu Ling with a smile on their faces, which was in stark contrast to Queen Wang's indifferent performance.

Wu Ling lowered her eyes slightly when she saw Queen Wang and the concubines.

Wu Ling knew that these concubines didn't like her much, nor did they agree with her, but they just didn't get along with Queen Wang.

When the Great Zhou Emperor was there, the harem could still maintain stability, but when the Great Zhou Emperor was not there, various forces in the harem began to surge undercurrents.

Wu Ling was alone and helpless, and was not involved in the struggle.

Instead, she was free.

Listening to the words of the people around her, Wu Ling felt a little annoyed. When she was about to agree with Qiu Hao's words, she suddenly heard Qiu Hao's voice again.

"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with what you said, but if the Duke of Zhenguo can come to help, even the Yuan Dynasty will not be worth looking at."

"How does your Highness know that the Duke of Zhenguo can't hide?"

Qiu Hao stared at Wu Ling's face. It was obvious that Qiu Hao wanted to get an answer from Wu Ling.

Qiu Hao, the Minister of War, was a poor boy promoted by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was not entangled with the interests of the family, nor did he have a daughter, and he didn't have much relationship with the royal family.

Therefore, Qiu Hao could get out of the struggle for imperial power.

At this time, Qiu Hao was only concerned about how to repel the enemy.

Wu Ling faced Qiu Hao's gaze, without much panic in her bright eyes, and did not look away, and said calmly:

"How do I know? Do I need to tell General Qiu?"

"Lord Qiu only needs to know that if the Duke of Zhenguo could come to Beijing, he would have come long ago. If he cannot leave at this time, he cannot come."

After hearing Wu Ling's words, Qiu Hao groaned for a long time without saying anything, just lost in thought.

After.

Just when Qiu Hao was about to say something.

Queen Wang waved her hand and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Okay, let's do it according to Lord Qiu's wishes. Wu Ling, you immediately write an imperial edict in the name of the prince to recruit the Duke of Zhenguo to Beijing to fight against the Yuan Dynasty."

After Queen Wang finished speaking, she stood up slightly and walked out of the hall.

After Queen Wang left.

The people in the meeting hall, even if they wanted to say something else, could not say more.

Everyone left one after another.

Wu Ling also stood up. Just as she was walking out of the meeting hall, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Your Highness, please stay."

Wu Ling recognized who the voice was.

She turned her head slightly and looked at the person who came.

"Lord Qiu, what's the matter?"

Qiu Hao, wearing a black official uniform, stood quietly behind Wu Ling, and then said: "Your Highness, I think what you said makes sense. If the Duke of Zhenguo cannot come to Beijing, Your Highness's method can also be used as a backup."

"But, I have a doubt. If the military forces on other borders are drained, Your Highness is not afraid that the surrounding dynasties, big and small, will invade Da Zhou?"

"Also, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask the dynasties affiliated to the Great Zhou Dynasty to contribute. Will they really take action?"

Wu Ling looked at Qiu Hao, looked at the other party's face that was seeking knowledge, pondered for a moment, and then patiently explained:

"Most of the dynasties around the Zhou Dynasty are affiliated dynasties. They are mobilizing their dynasty's troops while draining their border troops. Now that they are here, the border can get temporary peace."

Qiu Hao stared at Wu Ling and slowly said: "Your Highness is not afraid that those dynasties will not send troops to my great Zhou Dynasty? Instead, they will take advantage of it."

Wu Ling said calmly: "Afraid."

"But what's the use of being afraid? You can only choose the best way."

"We are betting, and so are those in the dynasty."

"After all, once we get over this difficulty, they won't even have time to consider the consequences and end the game."

"We're all betting, so what's there to be afraid of?"

After Wu Ling finished speaking, without saying anything else, he turned around and walked towards the Prince's East Palace.

Now Wu Ling also knew that she was a person with the title of prince.

But he was pushed to the stage by Queen Wang.

No real power.

It doesn't have much strength either.

Whether Qiu Hao listens to her or not is ultimately beyond Wu Ling's control.

Her words have been spoken.

It doesn't matter whether Qiu Hao listens to her words or adopts her opinions.

Wu Ling didn't think much and left slowly.

soon.

Wu Ling's figure disappeared from Qiu Hao's sight.

It wasn't until Wu Ling's figure disappeared that Qiu Hao regained consciousness. He looked at the direction where Wu Ling's figure disappeared, his eyes flashed slightly, and he pondered in his heart.

"We are all betting, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"If Dayuan takes advantage of this loophole this time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Qiu Hao thought about this in his mind and walked towards the distance.

Qiu Hao doesn't know yet whether others will adopt Wu Ling's words.

But Qiu Hao believed it.

The affairs of the surrounding dynasties involve the dynasty's diplomacy, and Qiu Hao can't control it.

But it can still be done by deploying all the troops on the border to the front line.

As far as the troops of the affiliated dynasty are concerned, they are simply dispensable to Qiu Hao.

The hatred at this time.

It's also a gamble.

Bet that after he mobilized his own troops, other dynasties would not dare to invade the Zhou border even if they discovered something strange.

After Qiu Hao left quickly, he returned to the Yamen Office of the Ministry of War.

He sat under the desk in the palace and wrote the next line of text.

Then he called a minister of the Ministry of War and handed the transfer order written in his hand to the other party.

"Immediately distribute it to all major armies without any mistakes."

The Minister of War took the transfer order in his hand, glanced at it, and then his expression changed slightly.

"Sir, are you going to deploy all your troops to deal with Dayuan?"

"The Duke is here."

"Is it worth the trouble?"

When Qiu Hao heard the words of the Minister of War, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"You see, we are all counting on Duke Zhen Guo to bring the Northern Expedition to deal with Dayuan."

"But none of us can guarantee that Duke Zhen will be able to come."

"Go ahead and be prepared."

After saying that, Qiu Hao waved his hand.

Seeing Qiu Hao's appearance, the Minister of War could not say anything more and left worriedly.

After the Minister of War left, Qiu Hao stood by the window, looking at the clouds in the distant sky, his eyes flickering from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

After thinking for a moment.

Qiu Hao sat back at the desk again, picked up his pen and wrote down lines of text again.

What I want to write in this Qiu Hao is not to face the border army's transfer order, but to give instructions to the frontline generals.

Facing Dayuan, we must not take it lightly.

It is absolutely impossible for Dayuan to invade Dazhou unintentionally, and it is also impossible for him to retreat voluntarily in the middle of the attack.

When Da Yuan came this time, he looked like he was going to kill Da Zhou.

If the frontline can hold on for a while longer, it will be much easier later on when the forces of all the armies gather together.

…………

When Yu Qiuhao started to take action.

Wu Ling also returned to the East Palace.

After sitting in the courtyard for a while, her heart could not calm down.

For some reason, Wu Ling suddenly remembered what Cheng Guang said to her before.

Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, knew clearly that the Great Zhou Dynasty might be in chaos, yet he could still say that he could take action.

Does the prince have any means to repel Dayuan?

It is very likely that there are celestial beings among the troops that Da Yuan invaded Da Zhou this time.

At the moment when Zhen Guogong is unable to take action.

What can Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, do?

Unless Cheng Guang can defeat Tianren.

but……

Is this possible? ?

There was confusion in Wu Ling's bright eyes.

When he met Cheng Guang for the first time, Wu Ling thought Cheng Guang could cultivate.

But she realized it later after practicing.

Cheng Guang's performance at that time did not look like he had practiced.

Even if Cheng Guang starts practicing later, the time for practicing will be much shorter than hers.

Wu Ling believed that he was talented, and his cultivation speed was not slow, but very fast.

It is very possible that the cultivation level of Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, is not as high as mine.

Where did he have the courage to say such things to himself?

Wu Ling frowned slightly, but he didn't understand.

She stood there troubled for a while, and then suddenly stamped her foot.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to find him!"

"Didn't he say that he would agree to a request of mine? I'll see how he can do it."

Wu Ling said, walking quickly towards the Zhenguo Palace.

After leaving the palace, Wu Ling arrived at the gate of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion soon.

He ignored the four guards standing guard in front of the Zhenguo Palace and walked straight in.

The four guards looked at Wu Ling's figure and looked at each other.

"Why is your Highness here?"

"Should we make an announcement?"

"No need, everyone has already gone in..."

"Yes, if you report this now, won't you get scolded by Butler Wang?"

"Why didn't you stop me just now?"

"I don't dare. Your Highness the Crown Prince looks a bit fierce."

The four guards were talking in low voices, looking hesitantly into the Zhenguo Palace, trying to find Wu Ling.

But I didn't see it.

Wu Ling didn't know what the four guards behind him were thinking, and she didn't care. She was a person with no airs.

After entering the Zhenguo Palace, he stopped a guard and asked.

When the guard saw Wu Ling, he saw Wu Ling's stunning appearance and knew that Wu Ling's identity was not simple.

The guard thought Wu Ling was Cheng Guang's friend or something.

He immediately pointed a direction for Wu Ling.

Wu Ling nodded slightly and walked in the direction pointed by the guard.

If it weren't for her not wanting to attract too much attention in this Zhenguogong Mansion.

Now she can use her cultivation and soul to explore, and she can find Cheng Guang's location.

Right now she just wants to come quietly and then leave quietly.

…………

Yellow water flows, leaves fall one after another.

After summer, the wind became stronger and more leaves fell, but new leaves grew again, looking full of vitality.

Cheng Guang was practicing in the courtyard.

His soul is already very powerful now, and he only needs to slowly increase his accumulation, so as not to be sucked dry by the power of the Sainthood Path Fruit all at once.

The main focus is on physical exercise.

Cheng Guang waved his hands and feet in the courtyard, and the sound of the metal and iron on his body became faintly thicker. If he listened carefully, he could occasionally hear the hissing of the divine python from his body.

And Cheng Guang also clearly discovered that his strength has also become extremely long. Now, even if he doesn't use martial arts, it can be said that there is not much pressure to deal with ordinary sixth- and seventh-level warriors.

Cheng Guang practiced martial arts for a while, and when he felt the limit, he stopped.

Qingluan came over at the right time and carefully wiped the sweat from Cheng Guang's forehead with a brocade handkerchief.

Cheng Guang looked at Qingluan with a smile, took the brocade handkerchief from Qingluan's hand, and said, "Qingluan, I can do this myself."

Qingluan smiled softly and said: "Taking care of the prince is the meaning of Qingluan's existence. The prince should let Qingluan do something."

Cheng Guang was helpless.

Qingluan took the brocade handkerchief from Cheng Guang's hand and was about to undress Cheng Guang and take Cheng Guang to take a bath. When Qingluan heard light but hasty footsteps coming from outside the hospital.

"Are guests coming?"

Qingluan made a confused sound.

Cheng Guang didn't say anything, and carefully felt the coming person's breath. After he felt it clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly and his expression was slightly startled.

"Why is she here?"

"She? Who is it?" Qingluan was confused.

At this time, Ning Qianxue on the side also seemed to notice something, and her eyes fell outside the courtyard.

Under her gaze, a figure dressed in palace attire, with beautiful Xia Shang and lotus flowers appearing every step of the way, appeared outside the hospital.

"Is it you?"

Ning Qianxue recognized Wu Ling the first time she saw him.

Pointing at Wu Ling, he exclaimed.

Wu Ling stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at the appearance of the courtyard.

She ignored Ning Qianxue, and after scanning her body, her eyes fell on Cheng Guang.

"May I come inside?"

Wu Ling asked Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang didn't expect Wu Ling to come to him at this time.

He had just returned from Wu Ling's Prince's East Palace.

Cheng Guang was puzzled, but he still turned sideways, as if inviting, and said to Wu Ling:

"Come in."

Wu Ling nodded slightly and walked into the Wanxiang Garden.

Came to Cheng Guang.

His bright eyes flickered, staring at Cheng Guang's appearance, staring deeply at Cheng Guang.

Just when her red lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something.

A figure nimbly flashed from the side and was sandwiched between Cheng Guang and Wu Ling.

Ning Qianxue hugged her chest and looked at Wu Ling with hostility.

"Prince, if you don't stay in the palace, why are you running outside all day long?"

When Wu Ling saw Ning Qianxue standing between him and Cheng Guang, he couldn't say what he had just planned to say.

He opened his mouth slightly, but was a little speechless.

He looked at Cheng Guang again.

It seems like you can do whatever you want.

Cheng Guang, however, didn't care about Wu Ling's appearance. He smiled and shook his head, then gently rubbed Ning Qianxue's head, "Qianxue, she came here to have something to do with me."

Ning Qianxue, on the other hand, stared at Wu Ling with her mouth bulging.

A woman's intuition told her.

This woman Wu Ling is definitely not simple.

Wu Ling was secretly angry at this time and clenched his hand, but soon slowly loosened it.

"That's it, I'm leaving."

After Wu Ling said that, he turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Just about to leave.

Wu Ling suddenly found that her hand was grabbed by someone.

The speed was so fast that Wu Ling didn't react.

Wu Ling was shocked and turned her head quickly. When she saw that the person holding her hand tightly was not someone else, it was Ning Qianxue.

Ning Qianxue...

Is her strength stronger than her?

How could she be so fast?

Wu Ling's eyes were filled with shock that could not be hidden.

But Ning Qianxue didn't notice Wu Ling's abnormality, but just said: "Since you are here, why are you leaving? I also think you have something to do with the prince."

"Just tell me."

Although Ning Qianxue agreed to Wu Ling staying.

But she still had some hostility towards Wu Ling.

Ning Qianxue didn't know why she had such an idea.

She just felt that Wu Ling's arrival was likely to rob her of something.

What was he here to rob?

Robbing the prince?

But that's not right.

The prince has Qin Yanqiu and Qingluan by his side, and Ning Qianxue herself does not feel jealous.

But why does she feel uncomfortable with Wu Ling, the prince?

Ning Qianxue did not quite understand. After covering her chest, she let go of Wu Ling's hand and stood beside Cheng Guang.

Wu Ling looked at Ning Qianxue in surprise, rubbed her slightly painful wrist, and then looked at Cheng Guang.

"I'll go in here, okay?"

Cheng Guang nodded, then smiled and said, "Just tell me, you suddenly came to me, it should not be a small matter."

Wu Ling replied, "It is indeed not a small matter."

"The Yuan Dynasty invaded the Great Zhou, a border has been lost, and I don't know how many cities have fallen. So far, except for a few sporadic news, we still don't know how many people the Yuan Dynasty sent to attack my Great Zhou."

"All those who encountered the Yuan Dynasty were probably killed."

Wu Ling said here.

Cheng Guang's face was not much surprised.

After this battle, the Yuan Dynasty defeated the Zhou Dynasty and left only one city. In addition to the Nanming King, the Yuan Dynasty itself also attached great importance to it.

So it is quite normal that no one who encountered the Yuan Dynasty survived.

Wu Ling noticed that Cheng Guang's expression did not fluctuate after hearing what she said, so she knew that Cheng Guang probably knew about this.

After taking a deep breath.

Then he said:

"Didn't you say before that the Zhou Dynasty would be in chaos, can I ask you to help?"

"I want to know how you will do it?"
