Chapter 19: The Assassin Again
The third year of the Zhengei era, November 2nd.

Xu Mujun led the Longxiang Army and left Heishan Pass to the border troops to garrison, while he led the Longxiang Army southward.

The third year of the Shoei era, November 15th.

Xu Mu's army led the Longxiang Army to defeat the Tianming Army, killing 120,000 enemies and capturing countless prisoners.

The seventh day of the twelfth month of the third year of Zhengei.

The White Lotus Sect, the Yellow Sky Army, and the Tianming Army jointly attacked the Longxiang Army.

The Longxiang Army was defeated, and Xu Mujun rushed into the army alone, killing the commander of the Tianming Army and capturing the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect, "Xiaotian Maitreya".

After the two battles, the chaotic army fled in all directions like frightened birds, and Xu Mujun's martial arts skills were exposed, he was at the innate realm!
The second powerful person in the innate realm in the Dayu Dynasty!
When the battle report was received, Emperor Zhengyong was overjoyed, the court was shocked, and countless people recommended merits to Xu Mu's army.

On the third day of the first month of the fourth year of Zhengyong, Xu Mu's army sent back military orders. The Longxiang army suffered heavy losses and was stationed in Datong to suppress the rebel army.

For a moment, the court's attitude suddenly changed.

But under Prime Minister Yang's order, all the officials of the court still presented congratulations and rewards to Xu Mujun.

"Oban, what on earth is Xu Mujun thinking about?"

Late at night, inside Jiaotai Hall.

Emperor Zhengyong held his forehead with one hand and spoke in a cold tone.

Wang Zhongyi didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say: "I don't know... maybe the Longxiang Army has been fighting for several years and suffered heavy losses, so they have to rest on the spot."

"Suppressing Nanyue County, expelling Wu State, and the Qingzhou rebellion, even if the Longxiang Army is made of iron, it can't withstand such a long battle."

"is it?"

Emperor Zhengyong said: "He, Xu Mujun, is a master of the Xiantian realm... It's as easy as taking something out of a bag for him to take the head of a general in the chaos of the army!"

"If he was willing, how could the Longxiang Army suffer such a huge loss?"

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Zhengyong shook his head and said, "The Imperial City Department sent him a secret letter. Did he receive a reply?"

"not yet……"

"Where is Yang Xiang?"

"There is no movement... But from the news sent by his subordinates, it seems that Prime Minister Yang is waiting for Concubine Shu to give birth to a child..."

"Shufei gave birth to a child?"

Emperor Zhengyong's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, if Concubine Shu gives birth to a prince, she may compete for the throne of the crown prince!"

"But fortunately, the Queen, Bipin, and Defei are all pregnant."

"I just don't believe it. They can't give birth to a dragon son?!"

In the past few months, Zheng Yi has had no time to rest at all.

Every day he was either in the Queen's palace or with Concubine Duan.

And during this period of time, even Concubine De could not escape from Zheng Yi's clutches.

Unfortunately, Concubine De, like the Queen, is just a vase.

After practicing dual cultivation, one can only improve one's physique, there are no other benefits.

"Where is Concubine Cui?"

Emperor Zhengyong suddenly asked, "Is she still reporting for illness?"

"Yes... Your Majesty."

Wang Zhongyi said, "Three months ago, Concubine Cui suddenly fell into the water and has been on sick leave ever since, so the Imperial Household Department has not put up her name card."

"The Qinghe Cui family... hehe, they are really a group of old foxes."

"Knowing that Prime Minister Yang is powerful, don't you want to get involved?"

Emperor Zhengyong sneered and said, "It's a pity that you are in the royal family and have no choice!"

Wang Zhongyi did not dare to reply. After a few breaths of silence, Emperor Zhengyong suddenly asked again, "What's the situation with Concubine Duan?"

"The queen and Consort De were both pregnant, why hasn't she been pregnant yet?"

"If she is pregnant, Xu Mujun will surely be cautious..."

Wang Zhongyi said, "This is very strange to me. Shadow went to Concubine Duan's palace the most often, and often stayed up all night...but Concubine Duan hasn't gotten pregnant in such a long time, which is really strange."

"The Queen, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Bi are all pregnant. It seems that Shadow has nothing to do with it."

"Ask the imperial physician to take a good look at Concubine Duan's body, understand?"

"Yes... Your Majesty!"

...Hanfu Palace.

Having just finished exercising, Zheng Yi hugged Xu Qingluan and continued to say sweet words to her.

During these months of companionship, Zheng Yi and Xu Qingluan's relationship has made rapid progress.

After all, she came from the military, so Xu Qingluan dared to love and hate.

Especially in the past few months, Zheng Yilong's vigorous physique has already deeply fascinated her.

My heart is all on Zheng Yi.

At this moment, she breathed calmly, looked at Zheng Yi with admiration and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty... It has been so long, and I still can't give birth to a child for Your Majesty..."

"Who said my beloved concubine is guilty?"

Zheng Yi pinched her chin and lifted it up, saying proudly: "I still want to spend a few more days with my beloved concubine, how can I bear to let my beloved concubine get pregnant?"

This sentence is true.

The Empress, Consort Shu and Consort De were all ordinary women, and dual cultivation could only enhance their roots and lifespan.

After these experiments, he also discovered the factors that increase lifespan.

The current age of the woman is equal to the amount of life he will gain after practicing dual cultivation.

Although Bipin possessed the "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art", she was already pregnant and was four months pregnant, so it was impossible for her to practice dual cultivation.

Concubine Cui had been claiming illness and the palace gates were locked.

The reason why Concubine Duan was not allowed to get pregnant was, of course, for the dual cultivation of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

After all, "The Blood-Slaying Sword of a Hundred Battles" and bone strengthening are what Zheng Yi urgently needs at the moment.

Apart from making the Queen and Concubine De pregnant, all the hard work over the past few months was on Concubine Duan.

Hard work pays off.

After several months of hard work, his proficiency in "Hundred Battles Blood Blade" has reached 6520/10000.

If you persist for a few more months, you will be able to break through to the third level.

By then, his comprehensive strength will be able to reach the first level!
A first-class warrior!

He is considered a strong man in the entire martial arts world.

In the military system of Dayu, it is the position of general!
Fortunately, "Blood Evil Sword of a Hundred Battles" is a technique that involves both internal and external cultivation, and does not emphasize internal strength. Only when the sword technique is truly performed and the evil spirit is emitted can it be detected by others.

Otherwise, if Zheng Yi and Concubine Duan had intercourse every day, she would have discovered it sooner or later if they used ordinary skills.

As long as his overall strength has not reached the first rank, he will never let Concubine Duan get pregnant!

Two hours later, Xu Qingluan fell asleep slowly, and Zheng Yi returned to Jiaotai Hall accompanied by Wang Zhongyi.

Wang Zhongyi waved his hand, signaling the eunuchs and guards around to move away, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, I have sent the imperial physician to diagnose Concubine Duan."

"Diagnose Concubine Duan?" Zheng Yi asked in surprise, "Diagnose what?"

"Now, in the harem, only Concubine Duan and Concubine Cui are not pregnant. I hope Your Majesty will farm more..."

"I have tried very hard, and Concubine Duan has also tried very hard."

"Then try harder."

"This... okay..."

When the team reached the side of the Imperial Garden, a ghostly figure suddenly emerged from the pool outside the Imperial Garden and pounced towards Zheng Yi at an extremely fast speed.

Wang Zhongyi sensed it instantly, and immediately placed his whole body in front of Zheng Yi to protect him. His robe fluttered in the wind, and he quickly rushed forward.

"There are assassins!"

"Escort!!!"

"boom!"

In mid-air, the two men's palms touched each other, and immediately a dull sound was heard.

The man in black retreated quickly, and Wang Zhongyi also staggered back a few steps. His face looked extremely ugly, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"Ice Poison Palm... Old Man Xuanming?!"

"Not good! Your Majesty!"

He quickly turned around, only to see another black shadow leaping down from the big tree in the corner and pouncing towards Zheng Yi like an eagle.

"Hahahaha... Old Emperor, prepare to die!"
