Chapter 404 Knife

Chapter 404 Knife
Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

He did not completely believe Meng Canglan's words. He still had to see it for himself to know the right and wrong.

What's more, sometimes there is no right or wrong in the world. The head follows the butt, and everyone has his or her own stance.

Meng Canglan asked: "Is the prince going to take over this matter?"

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "I am ordered to calm this matter down."

"This is a mess, you better be prepared, my Lord."

"What do you mean?" Chu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and motioned for her to drink tea.

Meng Canglan picked up the teacup and took a sip with graceful and quiet movements.

She put down the teacup and continued, "Let's talk about the Daliu Camp first. It has all five poisons. It is the worst camp in the entire Jihai Town."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Meng Canglan said: "These soldiers in the Daliu camp are notorious for their bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and even harming the people around them... Otherwise, Ding Shaoqiang would not have forced them so much. He just doesn't like them and wants to teach them a lesson."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "So, Ding Shaoqiang is wronged?"

Meng Canglan said: "I can't say whether it is unjust or not, but it is true that the Great Willow Camp is notorious."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "How is the combat capability of the Daliu Camp?"

"I don't know about that." Meng Canglan said, "They didn't have a chance to show off, and they never fought a war."

"What about suppressing bandits?"

"It's not their turn to suppress the bandits."

"So, their fighting power is ordinary, but the entire Jihai Town can't do anything to them."

"It's very difficult to find them in the deep mountains and forests."

"Is there a tracking expert in the army?"

"The experts in the army would not end up in the East Territory. If they really had powerful tracking skills, they would have been transferred to the West Territory or the North Territory long ago."

"So, Daliuying is bad, and Jihai Town is also a mess. The question is who is worse."

"…Indeed."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "The East Territory is really a peculiar place."

“The army in the East Territory is indeed…” Meng Canglan shook his head slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "If I go there, can Wuyou Sect provide instant information?"

"Okay." Meng Canglan nodded gently: "As long as the prince needs it, Wuyou Sect will definitely help."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Meng Canglan immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile: "If you can lend a helping hand to our innate perfect disciples, our sect will be grateful."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "How much?"

"How about twenty?"

"...Okay." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Meng Canglan smiled and said, "When the prince is done, they will be waiting at Yaoyue Palace."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Meng Canglan took out a small box from his sleeve, which turned out to be a soul-sealing box.

She handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "This is a strange stone obtained by my disciples. It seems that there is a flying knife hidden in the stone."

Chu Zhiyuan took it curiously, concentrated on sensing it for a moment, and felt no danger, so he opened it.

A piece of amber lay quietly inside, with a small knife solidified in the amber.

The miniature knife is only as long as a little fingernail and is willow-leaf shaped.

Looking closely, it seems to be moving.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at Meng Canglan.

Meng Canglan said: "This strange stone is at least ten thousand years old. Although the flying knife inside is small, it is very interesting. You can play with it, my prince."

"Yeah, it's really interesting." Chu Zhiyuan put it away and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Meng Canglan said goodbye and left with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan came to the Supervisory Department.

This time, we not only look at the news from Jihai Town, but also the previous eight rebellions.

The Supervisory Department did have records of it.

This shows that the emperor knew about it, but he didn't say anything or show any anger.

It was just that afterwards, these generals or deputy generals were transferred or dismissed under some pretext.

None of them had a good ending.

It was not until noon that he left the Supervisory Office and returned to the palace. Sitting on the bed in Tingtao Courtyard, he opened the small box and took out the strange stone.

The super-sense concentration begins to illuminate.

Suddenly, he felt blocked by the fog and couldn't even see the small flying knife clearly.

But vaguely, the small flying knife was not a real knife, but an illusion.

Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his super sense and his face became solemn.

Is this the intention of sword?
Or is it Sword Soul?
Is it similar to the small sword energy in his Tianchi acupoint?

Obviously that was not the sword energy.

The reason why his sword energy can be so condensed as a substance is because it is inside his body. Once it is outside his body, it will no longer be like this.

But this little flying knife is not like that.

He put the strange stone into the iron ring and took out the black wooden sword.

My eyes blurred and I was once again on the top of the mountain under the dark clouds, feeling the flashing purple lightning.

Although he had understood the principles of speed and slowness, he still could not enter into the realm of the wooden sword.

He felt that the understanding of the principles of speed and slowness needed to be further explored.

It's not just about the speed of the swordsmanship, the speed of the movements, and even the speed of time.

This way of fast and slow contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, the wonders of time and space, and it will never be too deep to comprehend it.

He pondered the wooden sword for a while, then opened the toad statue.

Looking at the toad statue, Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and slowly approached it.

My intuition still sends out serious warning signs.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, put it back into the Soul Sealing Box again, and then put it into the iron ring.

After lunch, Chu Zhiyuan took a short rest and came to the martial arts hall.

After taking a tour around the martial arts hall, he went to the Phoenix Camp to explain the contents of the imperial edict to Bai Ningyu.

When Bai Ningyu learned about this mission, he was extremely disdainful.

I feel that it would be an overkill for the Phoenix Camp to quell this rebellion.

This is really not training for the Phoenix Camp, and it is a waste of time.

But the imperial edict is hard to disobey, so I have to obey it. So I have to do some good work and practice hard on the way.

We also need to take the opportunity to suppress a wave of bandits and train our troops.

Chu Zhiyuan agreed and asked him to replenish the staff and assign teams as soon as possible.

And this time, he will not act with the Phoenix Camp.

He will enter the Eastern Territory one step ahead and go to Jihai Town to find out the details.

He might even never appear in front of the Phoenix Camp, secretly directing its actions.

In the Phoenix Camp, he spent the entire afternoon giving instructions on the formation.

These soldiers of the Phoenix Camp have already mastered the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Formation, and Chu Zhiyuan's guidance has allowed them to advance to a higher level and reach perfection.

The next day, Chu Zhiyuan prepared to go to the eastern border, to Jihai Town.

After lunch, we prepared to leave.

At this time, I felt the inconvenience of not having Tianlong Shenma.

If we have the dragon and the divine horse, it will only take one day to reach the East.

Without Shenma, the journey to the East Territory would take two to three days.

As I was sitting on the couch thinking about this, there was a sudden flash in front of my eyes, and Zhu Caifu appeared.

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Caifu's face was gloomy.

Chu Zhiyuan knew something was wrong and said softly, "Empress Shu has already..."

"Yes, he has passed away." Zhu Caifu said.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly became solemn, clasped his fists and said, "I wish you all the best, sir."

Zhu Caifu shook her head: "I'm fine. I knew this day would come. Miaozhen..."
