Chapter 406 He wants this Great Chu to never have peace!!
"Master," Mu Dong's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Come in".
"Master, they've left the city and headed towards Shili Pavilion," Mu Dong whispered.
"Okay, keep watching, but don't get too close," Mu Yun Chu said.
Outside the capital city, at Shili Pavilion.
Two days' drive west from here is Qianshan Town, the largest town outside Beijing.
Qianshan Town is an important hub connecting the capital to various prefectures and cities. Its geographical location is very important, so a large number of troops were stationed nearby to protect the capital.
"Send the Gu worms to Qianshan Town as soon as possible. I will go there as soon as I finish dealing with matters in the capital," Prince An instructed three men in black carrying jars in a low voice in the pavilion.
"I will obey the Lord's command."
Watching the three men in black fly away, Prince An turned back and said, "Thank you for troubling Wizard Qiu."
Wizard Qiu waved his hand, "Your Highness is too kind. We have known each other for many years. This is nothing."
"However, Your Highness should know how precious these Gu worms are. It would be best to take them out from the shadows the next time you feed them, with a full three-month interval between each feeding. There must be no mistakes, otherwise they will be useless if they are not raised properly."
Prince An nodded, "Don't worry, Wizard Qiu, tonight marks exactly three months. We'll feed you on time next time too."
He has spent a tremendous amount of time and effort over the past few years building an elite secret guard unit for these Gu poisons, but the number of members is still not enough, so he naturally needs to continue to raise them.
The key is that these Gu worms are planted in the body, and some people cannot adapt to them and will die quickly. Therefore, he raised these Gu worms for nearly ten years before he succeeded in raising more than a hundred people.
This shows how precious and rare this kind of Gu is.
It is no less difficult than the Crimson Blood Gu raised by the Grand Shaman of Nanzhao.
This is also the main reason why he insisted on retrieving these Gu poisons on time, even at the cost of the Anwang Mansion's destruction.
The house was collapsed before the operation to protect the Gu worms.
Firstly, the collapse could attract the Divine Dragon Guards in, creating an opening for the substitute to escape. And now, the Divine Dragon Guards are being led in another direction by that substitute.
Another reason is that the old emperor would not discover the Gu worms hidden in the secret room of the princess's house when he searched the mansion.
In Prince An's heart, these Gu worms were more important than the Prince An's mansion.
Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu probably never imagined that the Prince of An's blood-nurturing Gu was for the purpose of creating secret guards.
No wonder the secret guards they encountered were highly skilled in martial arts, even surpassing the Divine Dragon Guards.
“However, I have one more request,” Prince An said, standing in the pavilion and looking towards the capital. “The sorcerer Qiu should know the knot in my heart.”
Wizard Qiu looked up at Prince An, and after a moment's thought, he suddenly understood what he meant.
Moreover, he is the only one in the world who knows the truth about this matter.
Twenty-five years ago, the struggle for the throne in the Great Chu was fierce. The princes either died tragically or were exiled to harsh and cold places to guard. As the sixth son of the late emperor, how could Prince An stay out of it?
I remember when Prince An was being hunted down, he fled to Yanzhou and was rescued by him and the great shaman.
To save his life, Prince An personally wrote a letter, stating that he only wanted to be a carefree prince and would not covet the throne. He then had the letter delivered to Prince Xuan, who was once unstoppable, and is now the Emperor of Chu, thus saving his life.
Later... when I saw Prince An again, it was because the King of Chu had secretly given him a drug that would prevent him from having children. In order to save him, the sorcerer Qiu used his own specially made secret medicine.
Although the medication was used, it only preserved his male virility, but not his ability to reproduce.
For the sake of his male dignity, he had no choice but to have someone else bear his child...
Therefore, no one knew that Prince An had lost his fertility twenty-five years ago, which was the age when a man should be full of vigor and vitality!
How could Prince An not hate the Emperor of Chu?!
For the past twenty-odd years, Prince An has been hypocritical and seemingly law-abiding, which has made the Chu Emperor lower his guard, all in order to protect his only bloodline.
Wizard Qiu could understand Prince An's feelings very well.
Therefore, apart from the heir Mu Zhen, who was the biological son of Prince An and the late Princess Consort, all the other children in the Prince An's mansion were born to people secretly found by Prince An and the second Princess Consort.
Because he was well-behaved and had given birth to several children, the old emperor thought the infertility medicine had lost its effectiveness, but seeing that Prince An had no ulterior motives, he treated him with respect.
Moreover, she had many children. If Prince An had any disloyal intentions, the more hostages he could hold, and these children would be Prince An's weakness.
Having figured this out, the old emperor didn't take any further action.
"So, what does Your Highness mean...?" Wizard Qiu asked tentatively.
“Send them away together. I don’t want to see them again, and I don’t want them to be used and blackmailed by that person,” Prince An said calmly, but Wizard Qiu felt goosebumps all over and a chill run down his spine.
Prince An asked him to find a way... to kill the children imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court.
After all, she grew up by Prince An's side since she was a child. Could she really bear to part with her?
The wizard Qiu pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Your Highness, rest assured, I have my own methods. Your Highness must not... regret it."
Prince An gave a cold snort in response.
The wizard stroked his short beard, bowed to Prince An, and mounted his horse.
"Your Highness, what about our private soldiers in the mountain valley..." The black-clad guard behind Prince An lowered his voice as he saw that the sorcerer Qiu had already gone far away.
They were leaving the capital. The private soldiers in that mountain valley had all been imprisoned by the old emperor. Were they just going to abandon them like that?
"These things are useless now, they're not worth the further losses we incur. Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Prince An sneered. He had more than just this one place to train troops in the Great Chu!
For the rest of his life, he would make sure that the Great Chu would never have peace!
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the old Duke's study.
"Grandfather, I have something important to say," Gu Qingyue dismissed all the servants, closed the study door, and lowered her voice.
The old Duke raised an eyebrow, rarely seeing Gu Qingyue so mysterious, and immediately became interested.
"What extremely important thing is it for Yue'er?"
"grandfather······"
After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, the old Duke frowned.
He couldn't figure out what Prince An wanted to do with the Gu poison.
Poisoning the emperor?
The emperor was surrounded by experts, and because he had spent the last two years practicing alchemy and meditation, and his diet and lifestyle were strictly controlled, the chances of success were not high.
If it's not for the emperor, then what is it for?
The grandfather and grandson pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the Gu worm was for.
Later, the old Duke told Gu Qingyue to relax and that he would take care of the rest, and then sent Gu Qingyue away.
Yeah.
With the fall of the Prince An's Mansion, the threat to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion has been largely eliminated.
Only the Qin family still needs to be wary of the mastermind behind it all.
With things mostly settled in the capital, Gu Qingyue planned to tidy up Wenxianglou before heading back to Lizhou to check on Yueyingge and Anren.
She had been away for a long time, and she really missed them.
