hese people who had been terrified out of their wits would have surely erupted into chaos.What the eunuchs who were taken away said and what kind of experience they would have, these people didn't kno...The next morning, Xiao He Shan found Mu Yinghua with his troops.

This time, Xiao He Shan was accompanied by more troops than before, all of them elite soldiers from the Pishan Grand Camp, totaling two thousand!

This was the contingent sent by Pianshan Camp after receiving information from Xiao He Shan. Fortunately, they arrived just in time, allowing Xiao He Shan to survive and find Mu Ying Hua.

As for those enemies of theirs, judging from the killing intent that hadn't completely dissipated on Xiao He Shan, their end wouldn't be a pleasant one.

"Your Highness, I am late in arriving to rescue you. Please forgive my tardiness."

"Lord Cai, General Xiao requests to stand. Lord Cai and General Xiao fight to the death for our victory. There is only praise, no blame."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Xiao He Shan bowed to Mu Ying Hua, he intended to look for Zhang Li Yang, but he found that the person standing in Zhang Li Yang's former position was someone he didn't recognize.

"Your Highness, who is this Where is Zhang Liyang"

Cai Ning, who had always stood beside Xiao Heshan, also saw Yue Changping by Mu Yinghua's side. His pupils shrank instantly, and then he subtly tugged on Xiao Heshan's sleeve.

If Cai Ning had been in the past, she would have absolutely never done this. It was only that night's attack, and her own survival was entirely due to Xiao Heshan desperately resisting, so she pulled him down.

Xiao He shan didn't know about the Black Prison, but Cai Ning, who served as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, knew exactly what it meant.

Although Xiao He shan was a renowned military man, he was not foolish. Upon noticing Cai Ning's actions, he quickly steered the conversation in another direction.

Cai Ning's little movements Yue Changping could see very clearly, only he was too lazy to pay attention.

Since Xiao He Shan's large army was coming, Mu Yinghua, after receiving Zhang Li Yang's advice, ordered to directly set off for Feilong City.

Although Xiao Heshan’s forces had increased significantly this time, and the Black Prison Mansion was protecting Mu Yinghua, Xiao Heshan became even more cautious.

First, Xiao Heishan had already taken the Dao once and didn't want to take it again. Second, after learning about the situation of the Black Prison from Cai Ning, Xiao Heishan felt tense inside.

First kill then report, by imperial decree I shall take your life!

If Xiao He, a general under Liu Bang, were to do something wrong, he wouldn't just be criticized later on; he could very well be executed immediately. No one else would dare speak out against it.

"Your Highness, I can handle this myself."

"No, you're injured. How can you feed yourself I'll feed you."

Inside the carriage, Zhang Liyang's heart was filled with torment at this moment.

Although Zhang Liyang was injured quite seriously this time, with the help of imperial court secret medicine and his own cultivation, he can move both hands without much problem.

But Mu Yinghua felt Zhang Liyang should just lie there and be unable to move, so even feeding him medicine was done by her personally.

If this were ordinary times, Mu Yinghua would have done so without hesitation. But now, Yue Changping was still in the carriage.

Feeling Yue Changping's gaze, Zhang Liyang almost wished he could just faint right there.

"Your Highness, why don't I do it instead"

Looking at Yue Changping extending his hand, Mu Yinghua hesitated for a moment before placing the medicine in his hand. She didn't forget to remind him, "Be careful, this medicine is hot."

"Zhang Liyang, drink your medicine well. I'll go get you something to eat."

Seeing Mu Yinghua rush out of the carriage in a fluster, Zhang Liyang suddenly felt that it would be better if Mu Yinghua had stayed inside the carriage. After all, Yue Changping's eyes were already filled with daggers.

"He drank it himself."

"Okay."

Seeing Yue Changping hand over the medicine, Zhang Liyang didn't say a word and directly took it with his hand and drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely relieved.

"Although I know you and the prince grew up together, you must remember that a master is always a master, forever a master!"

"We cannot transgress!"

Yue Changping looked at Zhang Liyang, who had a wry smile on his face, still expressionless. "If you cross a line," he said, "the consequences will be something you wouldn't want to know."

"Don't worry, I understand."

"I hope you truly understand."

After Yue Changping finished speaking, he got off the carriage. Therefore, Zhang Liyang couldn't see that beneath Yue Changping's calm expression, there was a trace of envy hidden.

The squad continued toward Flying Dragon City, while the assassin seemed to have vanished without a trace, whether due to insufficient power or brewing an even stronger force remained unknown.

After five days of rest, Zhang Liyang’s body could move on its own.

Just because Yue Changping kept sticking to Mu Yinghua's side, Zhang Liyang simply went to another carriage and watched the system mission rewards with drool.

"Ding, system task completed, reward: One Wan Shou Liu Jin Dan!"

This is another Ten Thousand Beasts Liujin Pill. Compared to the Blood Pill Zhang Liyang received as a system reward before, Zhang Liyang believes that the efficacy of this Ten Thousand Beasts Liujin Pill rewarded by the system is definitely stronger than the one Mu Yinghua had given him previously.

Looking at the Myriad Beast Jade Gold Pill, Zhang Liyang could only swallow his saliva. Because Yue Changping was always by his side, Zhang Liyang didn't dare to directly swallow this pill. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Well, I guess I'll have to wait until Fei Long City to talk about it."

Sighing inwardly, Zhang Liyang had no choice but to sit cross-legged inside the carriage.

During this time, Zhang Liyang also asked Yue Changping who attacked Mu Yinghua this time. Yue Changping gave Zhang Liyang the expected answer, "Ci Lai!"

"Spying on us" Zhang Liyang touched his chin, then looked at Yue Changping with a hint of puzzlement. "Then how did they know our route"

"This is not something you should know."

"Understood."

While Yue Changping didn't say it explicitly, he implied an important piece of information: besides Ci Lai, there was another hidden force at play. It seemed that the Black Prison Manor was aware of this concealed power as well.

"By the way, when you get to Flying Dragon City, I'll be heading back to settle some scores."

"Go back and report" Zhang Liyang was a little surprised, "Don't you continue to stay by the prince's side to protect him"

This time, Yue Changping was surprised, "Isn't it your duty to protect the prince"

"Um..." Zhang Liyang scratched his head a little awkwardly, "I'm not afraid that I'm not strong enough, am I"

"If your strength isn't enough, just cultivate on your own." Yue Changping said as he took a box out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Liyang. "This is the salary from the Black Prison Mansion. I estimate that you won't be back for a while, so I pre-paid you for a year's worth. There's more that I can't take out here."

With both hands, Zhang Liyang took the box and opened it. Sixty blood dan were laid out before him.

Twelve months a year, sixty blood dan distributed to the middle of the month, only five a month!

"Is the treatment in Black Prison so bad"

It seems Yue Changping saw Zhang Liyang's dissatisfaction and twitched the corner of his mouth. He probably doesn't understand the hardships of running a household. One month, he could earn five blood dan pills, and one blood dan pill could sell for thirty taels of silver outside. Thirty taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for three months!t both satisfaction and helplessness.What satisfies me is that from today onwards, these people are like the seeds I sowed in spring. From today onwards, I must diligently nurture these seeds with fer...
