With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Bei Chenyan finished his tea before answering her:

"Yes, I won't be back for a while. I'll get things settled here and plan our route. I've also made arrangements with my people in the Eastern Jin Kingdom. Wherever we go, there will be people to clear obstacles for us."

"Everything's arranged?" Nangong Wu's eyes were full of suspicion. "You've made such a big fuss; anyone who didn't know better would think we're on an imperial tour!"

Bei Chenyan's eyes flickered slightly. "I have connections in the martial arts world, and besides, I am now your man, Princess Runing's man. My reputation is widespread, who would dare to disrespect me?"

"Cough cough cough..." Li An, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't, so he coughed.

Seeing his own rudeness, Li An quickly excused himself, saying, "Your Highness, I take my leave!"

She left after she finished speaking.

"A widespread reputation?" Nangong Wu rolled her eyes at the man opposite her. "You've become so famous as a gigolo?"

Bei Chenyan curled his lips into a smile. "There are people who want to do it but can't!"

Nangong Wu was speechless and didn't want to argue with him about these things.

"Our people have been unable to find Zhou Shaorong. We don't know where Xuan Qingzi has hidden him."

I know that man won't live long, but it's like a thorn in my heart that I can't bear to leave until it's pulled out.

"I did find some information," Bei Chenyan said.

"What news?" Nangong Wu looked up at him.

"I've investigated Xuan Qingzi's background. He's an orphan who came to Changyang Temple at the age of three. The current head of the temple is his senior brother, and the two have a close relationship. Zhou Shaorong might be in that Changyang Temple," Bei Chenyan guessed.

Nangong Wu's gaze turned cold. "Where is Changyang Temple?"

Upon being asked, Bei Chenyan gave her a strange look. "You don't even know where Changyang Temple is, do you?"

"...What do you mean?" Nangong Wu frowned, searching through the original owner's memories, but there were no traces of the name Changyang Temple. "Should I recognize Changyang Temple?"

"So you really didn't know!" Bei Chenyan sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Changyang Temple is the number one temple in the world. It does not belong to any country. It is located at the border between the Southern Qi Kingdom and the Northern Di Kingdom, covering an area of ​​about three or four hundred li."

"Is it located at the border between the Southern Qi Kingdom and the Northern Di Kingdom?" Nangong Wu took out a map, opened it, and placed it on the table to find the location of Changyang Temple.

"At this location," Bei Chenyan pointed to a spot on the map, "more than five thousand li from the capital of the Western Yan Kingdom."

"More than five thousand li?" Nangong Wu pondered as she looked at the map.

It's over 5,000 li (2,500 kilometers) long, and the road is difficult to travel. With the local mode of transportation, it would take at least two months to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Of course, she wouldn't walk that slowly.

"Since Zhou Shaorong is just a sickly man on his deathbed, his affairs are not as important as Xi'er's health," Bei Chenyan suggested to her.

"Why don't we stick to our original plan and go to the Northern Border to find the Seven-Colored Lotus first, and then go to the Eastern Jin Kingdom?"

My people in the Eastern Jin Kingdom have received news that the Eastern Jin Emperor is again conscripting soldiers and increasing taxes, and it is highly likely that he will launch another war against the Western Yan Kingdom. I believe that finding Qixia Lian and killing the Eastern Jin Emperor and the King of Wu is more important than finding Zhou Shaorong.

Nangong Wu looked at the map of the Eastern Jin Kingdom and frowned again. "The Eastern Jin Kingdom is only one-third the size of the Western Yan Kingdom, but it has the money to fight the Western Yan Kingdom every day."

"Although the Eastern Jin Kingdom has a small land area, it is the most prosperous place with a large population and a lot of money, which is why the Eastern Jin emperor wanted to expand his territory," Bei Chenyan explained to her.

"Although the Western Yan Kingdom is larger in area than the Eastern Jin Kingdom, its population is not large. In addition, for a hundred years, the imperial relatives have interfered in politics, and the Ming family has been sucking the blood of the court, leaving the national treasury empty. If the Eastern Jin Kingdom doesn't bully you, who else will it bully?"

Looking at the map, Nangong Wu made a decision, "Alright, let's go to the Eastern Jin Kingdom first, deal with the dog emperor and the King of Wu, and then come back to find the Seven Clouds Lotus."

"Since we're going to the Eastern Jin Kingdom first, I'll go and make some preparations." Bei Chenyan stood up, and seeing that Granny Feng wasn't there, asked again, "Are you really not bringing any wet nurses?"

"No need, I've already found someone to take care of the children," Nangong Wu said.

"Alright then." Bei Chenyan took a step and left.

Li Shuang had returned sometime earlier. After Bei Chen Yan left, she came in and knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, please allow me to go with you."

Nangong Wu looked at Li Shuang, who was three years older than the original owner of the body. She was a secret guard sent by Nangong Lan to her side and was extremely loyal to the original owner.

In fact, the Flying Feather Guards were loyal to the original owner's family. Otherwise, even though the original owner had fallen into such a depraved state, hundreds of people still insisted on protecting her, and so many people died in the search for Huo Jing.

"Okay," she finally nodded in agreement. "You can come along tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Shuang then stood up and reported Fu Dani's matter to her.

"What Fu Daniu said is true. That rich man was a local tyrant. His sons were all ruthless, bullying men and women and committing all sorts of evil deeds."

The five subordinates took Fu Daniu to the county government office and asked the magistrate to investigate the matter of Fu Daniu's grandmother being burned to death and his sister being kidnapped and made a concubine.

When the magistrate saw us display the token of the Prince of Zhenyuan's Mansion, his eyes darted around and his face was full of obsequiousness; he was clearly not a good person.

He treated us kindly during the day, but that night he had his son drug us with a drug, intending to kill us.

We beheaded the magistrate's son, went to his courtyard, removed his official hat, and ordered the left and right county magistrates to investigate the case thoroughly.

The case has now been solved. The wealthy man and the county magistrate's entire family have been imprisoned on death row. My subordinates have brought back the case files and handed them over to the Ministry of Justice, awaiting the final verdict.

"You've done a great job. Let Li Zhan continue to follow up on this case and make sure they all receive the punishment they deserve."

"You must be tired from traveling these past few days. Go and rest well. We'll leave tomorrow. Have Li An come in, and also have someone call Adelin over," Nangong Wu instructed.

"Yes." Li Shuang withdrew.

A short while later, Li An arrived and immediately said, "Your Highness, I would also like to go with you."

"I have something else for you to do." Nangong Wu pulled her up. "Now that the situation in the court has stabilized, it's time to arrange your wedding with Li Feng."

I have prepared a dowry for you, but Li Feng is at the border, so you can only go to him. After we leave, you can take the dowry and go to the border as well. After I finish what I have to do, in two months at most, I will go to the border to officiate your wedding.

Nangong Wu took out a house deed and placed it in Li An's hand. "This is a mansion bestowed upon Li Feng by the imperial court. You can take a look when you have time."

"Your Highness..." Li An looked at the house deed in her hand, her eyes reddening.

"You're almost a bride, and you're still crying?" Nangong Wu teased with a smile. "Go take a look at your mansion! Decorate your beloved little nest nicely."
