Chapter 180 Xu Mujun has a successor

"General, the body of the Major General has been brought back!"

At the General's Mansion, the captain of the personal guards, Zhao Hu, and several personal guards dragged Xu Xuanwu's body and asked to see Xu Mujun.

Xu Mujun shook his head and said, "Xuanwu is a traitor, not a major general."

"Even after death, you will not be buried in the ancestral hall, let alone the ancestral tomb!"

"General..."

Several people were silent. At this time, Deng Yong, the staff member who had been following behind Zhao Hu, said: "General, I personally checked... Xuanwu's body and the suicide scene. It is the same as what your majesty said. Xuanwu committed suicide."

"That blood letter was also written by Xuanwu himself. There are bite marks on the index and middle fingers of his right hand."

Xu Mujun frowned and asked, "Who asked you to check?"

"Since the rebel is dead, just bury him somewhere."

"General..."

Xu Mujun shook his hand, turned and left, his back looking very desolate.

Zhao Hu whispered, "What should I do? The general looks very unhappy."

Deng Yong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Nonsense! How can the general be happy when the major general commits suicide?"

He looked back at Xu Xuanwu's body and gritted his teeth and said, "The young general has really been blinded by greed. He actually ignored the great kindness of the general and the queen, raised an army to rebel, and killed so many of our brothers."

"If he wasn't the general's only son, I would have killed him too!"

"Brother Deng..."

"Don't say any more. I will personally send his body back to the ancestral home. Just like the general said, find a random piece of land to bury it."

"This... this is the only way, Brother Deng."

"Let's go..."

When several people walked out of the general's mansion, a fine coffin had already been prepared.

After properly arranging Xu Xuanwu's body, he prepared to leave.

At this moment, a female figure suddenly appeared and walked towards the gate of the General's Mansion.

Deng Yong saw this and quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, who are you? How dare you trespass into the general's mansion?"

Zhong Chun stopped and looked at the people, especially the coffins behind them, and said calmly, "I am here on the orders of His Majesty to give the general a gift."

"Gift?"

Deng Yong's eyes were full of suspicion. This woman had nothing, so what could she give him?
"Where's your gift?"

Zhong Chun subconsciously touched his belly and said, "In my belly, the son of Xu Xuanwu and the grandson of Xu Mujun, is this considered a great gift?"

"what?"

"What did you say?!"

Inside the General's Mansion, Xu Mujun stood up suddenly, unable to believe his ears.

"You said you have Xuanwu's child in your belly?"

"Do you know the consequences of deceiving an old man?"

Zhong Chun bowed and said, "Everyone in the world knows that General Xu is loyal and righteous. How could I deceive you, General?"

"You can send someone to ask the Jinyiwei prison guards about this matter. In the past two months, I have been..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face, and she stopped talking.

"About seven days ago, I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. After seeking medical attention, I found out that I was pregnant."

"you……"

Xu Mujun was stunned and glanced at Deng Yong beside him.

Deng Yong understood, and suddenly drew his sword and slashed towards Zhong Chun.

"What kind of demon or monster dares to come to my general's mansion to cheat!"

Zhong Chun's face changed slightly. How could this be different from what His Majesty said?
However, she also dodged subconsciously, and at the same time, a dagger appeared in her hand. She bent her waist slightly, and regardless of the open middle door, she stabbed the sharp dagger directly at Zhong Chun's neck.

This is a life-and-death fight.

Either Deng Yong dies or Zhong Chun dies.

"All right!"

With a loud shout, Deng Yong stopped, but Zhong Chun's dagger only stopped after it pierced Deng Yong's chest.

"Phantom Spin Step, Chen Liancang's Black Lotus Manual, you are a member of the Shadow Guard, I believe you!"

"Huh, huhu..."

Zhong Chun was breathing heavily. She didn't expect Xu Mujun to discover her identity so quickly.

"You are pregnant with Xuanwu's child. Was it arranged by His Majesty?"

"Yes!"

"How long have you been pregnant?"

"Replying to the General, it's been almost two months."

"What orders did His Majesty give you?"

Zhong Chun stopped talking and looked at General Xu calmly.

"I am Xu Mujun, and I am only loyal to the imperial family of Dayu and to Your Majesty. You can be assured that I will never do anything disloyal to Your Majesty."

Zhong Chun was silent for a few breaths before saying, "Your Majesty, no orders were issued."

"Just said or said, let me give birth to the child well and be filial to the general."

"you……"

Xu Mujun took a deep breath, his lips trembling rarely, but he quickly suppressed his excitement and said, "Deng Yong!"

"The general is here!"

"Pass on this general's order. From today on... By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhong Chun."

"Zhong Chun, Zhong Chun...loyal?"

Xu Mujun said: "From today on, Zhong Chun is the young lady of the general's mansion. When I am not here, all matters in the mansion will be handled by the young lady. Do you understand?"

"The last general takes command!"

Deng Yong's heart was moved, and he secretly glanced at this ordinary-looking woman.

Unexpectedly, the major general died, but his bloodline remained.

And this woman will also become the most important person in their Xu family.

One step to the sky!

Xu Mujun then said to Zhong Chun: "You can move to the General's Mansion from now on. This will be your home from now on."

"From now on... don't bother with the Shadow Guards."

"Yes, I will obey your command."

"And you still call yourself a commoner?"

Zhong Chun thought for a moment and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

“Father-in-law…” “Hahaha…Okay!”

Xu Mujun laughed and said, "Take good care of your pregnancy. I hope you can continue the Xu family's bloodline."

"If you give birth to a son, you will be the great benefactor of our Xu family!"

"Father-in-law, you are too serious. These are what a daughter-in-law should do."

"Deng Yong, prepare the horses. I want to go to the palace!"

"what……?"

Deng Yong was surprised and said: "General, the gates of the imperial city are closed now, why not wait until tomorrow..."

"No need! I have something important to discuss with His Majesty. There is no time to waste. Go and prepare the horses!"

"promise!"

Late at night, the group quickly headed towards the palace.

With Xu Mujun's token, the journey was smooth.

When they arrived at Baiyujing, they were stopped by Liu Chengen and his men.

"Eunuch Liu!"

Xu Mujun walked over quickly and said, "I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty. Please pass it on."

Liu Chengen said with a strange expression: "General, it's not that I don't want to pass on the message, but... His Majesty is not here!"

"Hmm? His Majesty is not in the palace?"

Xu Mujun was full of suspicion: "Where did your Majesty go?"

"This……"

Liu Chengen's eyes flashed and he said, "Your Majesty has left the palace. As for where he went, we don't know either."

"Leaving the palace?"

Xu Mujun frowned and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you leave the palace at will? If you encounter danger... Never mind, I will wait for Your Majesty here."

"General, it is getting late, and we don't know when His Majesty will return. Why don't you go back to your residence and wait until His Majesty returns to the palace..."

"No need!"

Xu Mujun said: "Your Majesty will not be delayed for too long since he is leaving the palace late at night. I will wait here."

"This... okay"

"General please!"

Liu Chengen quickly gave up his seat and said, "There is a rest room specially prepared for foreign officials in Baiyujing. The general can rest in the room."

"When Your Majesty returns to the palace, I will report to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

"Excuse me, Eunuch Liu."

While Xu Mujun was waiting for Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi was still checking the treasures in the Zheng family treasury.

When Chen Liancang took out ten foundation-building pills, everyone was stunned.

"Foundation Pill?"

"Foundation Pill!"

Concubine Cui and Concubine Yu rushed over, snatched the jade bottle from Chen Liancang's hand, and examined it carefully.

"My two ladies...?"

Chen Liancang quickly stepped back, while Concubine Cui and Concubine Yu carefully examined the foundation-building pills in their hands.

"The appearance is very similar, just as recorded in Master's book."

"Why is there no smell of medicine?"

"The surface is cracked. Could this foundation-building pill be broken?"

"The Foundation Building Pill is a holy medicine that helps Qigong cultivators break through to the Foundation Building stage. If this gets out, I don't know how many old men will scramble to get it."

"Hehehe, if our master knew about this, he would definitely rush down the mountain to serve His Majesty~"

The two girls were talking excitedly and laughing at the same time, which made Zheng Yi feel a little numb.

"Don't get excited, my two beloved concubines."

Zheng Yi said: "This foundation-building pill looks wrong, there should be an explanation on the paper."

"Mr. Chen?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Elder Chen quickly unfolded the paper and took a look at it, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My two ladies, the Grand Ancestor also thought of this."

"It is written on paper that even if the Foundation Establishment Pill is stored in a top-quality chalcedony bottle, it can only slow down the loss of spiritual energy for more than a hundred years."

"It has been more than three hundred years since then. The spiritual energy of the foundation-building pill in the bottle has long since dissipated, and it has become a useless pill!"

"What? Wasted pill, so unlucky!"

"Alas, Master once said that it is very difficult to preserve the Foundation Establishment Pill. What a pity..."

The two women's tone was somewhat bitter. They had finally found the Foundation Establishment Pill, but they didn't expect it to be a useless pill.

"However, the Taizu paper also records how to restore the foundation-building pill."

Chen Liancang said: "According to the instructions of the Grand Ancestor, there are two ways to restore the waste pill to the foundation-building pill."

"The first way is for the alchemist to put it back into the furnace and use some natural materials and treasures to refine it again to restore its medicinal properties."

Concubine Cui shook her head and said, "This method won't work."

"In order to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, the alchemist must be at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. Right now, there isn't even one cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage in the entire Dayu!"

"And those rare treasures...are simply not available nowadays."

Several people nodded, but Zheng Yi had different ideas.

Now, there are seven innate spiritual energies in the entire city of Dayu.

As time goes by, some rare treasures will inevitably appear around the capital.

There is even the possibility of the emergence of spiritual stone veins!
These...all take time.

But don't worry, Zheng Yi can wait by himself.

"And what about the second method?"

"The second method."

Chen Liancang took a look and said, "Put it in a place with abundant spiritual energy, and then set up a spiritual gathering array to allow it to slowly absorb the spiritual energy, thereby restoring its medicinal properties."

"The paper also contains the method and pattern of setting up the spirit gathering array. It seems that Taizu wants us to try this method."

"A place with abundant spiritual energy?"

Zheng Yi suddenly had an idea. He wondered if controlling a stream of innate spiritual energy to gather on these ten wasted Foundation Establishment Pills would help them restore their medicinal properties as soon as possible.
"Put it away first and leave it with me. I will refine it again when I find a suitable method later."

"promise!"

Several people agreed and quickly gathered the Foundation Establishment Pills together and handed them to Zheng Yi.

At this time, Yuechan also came over: "Your Majesty, it's your turn. I wonder what good things will be in the blind box you chose?"
