"Zhang Fuquan, you will lead three hundred trusted aides to accompany to Qin State."
"Yes, Your Highness!" The three of them replied loudly upon hearing this.
Now, nearly fifty days have passed, and the trusted aides have far exceeded thirty people, having expanded to five hundred.
Moreover, their strength is extrely formidable, with the weakest being at the Level 5 at Refining Realm.
All of them are elite among elites selected from the Imperial Guard.
Liu Feng and Wang Chun, within less than fifty days, successfully broke through to Level 6 Heart Refining Realm by ingesting the elixir given by Mu Rufeng.
As for Zhang Fuquan, his talent is even stronger, and his cultivation has broken through to the Peak of Refining Acupoints Realm.
Being able to enter Mu Rufeng’s group of trusted aides, they are genuinely loyal and of straightforward background and identity.
This group of hundreds can be considered Mu Rufeng’s most elite and loyal trusted aides.
"Your Highness, I also want to go." At this point, from afar, Xiaocui hurriedly ran over.
"Nonsense, stay put here obediently." Mu Rufeng rebuked firmly.
Xiaocui pouted imdiately, saying: "Xiaocui wants to follow Your Highness."
Mu Rufeng was about to say sothing when he noticed that Zhang Chun appeared behind Xiaocui like a ghost.
Then, he raised his right hand and struck her on the head with a fierce thump.
"Ow!" Xiaocui covered her head, almost in tears from the pain.
"How dare you talk back when His Highness forbids you to go?" Zhang Chun said coldly.
Xiaocui pouted, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitifully at Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng ignored Xiaocui’s gaze; he would not take Xiaocui with him, under any circumstances.
He was going to lead the army; how could he take won along? Previously, when heading to the Western Regions, he didn’t take any won.
Fortunately, he didn’t take them; otherwise, one could imagine what fate they would have t.
Mu Rufeng first let Zhang Fuquan gather the trusted aides outside the palace gates; Mu Rufeng then gave instructions to Liu Ming and others.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng headed toward the palace gates.
Despite this, before he reached his destination, he was stopped by soone.
"Crown Prince, you’re going to Qin State, right? Take with you," Seventh Princess blocked Mu Rufeng’s way.
"Seventh Sister, why are you joining the chaos? In a month, Jian Yifeng is coming to marry you," Mu Rufeng said with a frown.
"You know there’s still a month; I’m bored to death. I want to go with you to battle; you promised to take ," Mu Wuxia said.
"Not taking you, just stay ho and wait for Jian Yifeng to marry you," Mu Rufeng waved his hand and continued forward.
However, Seventh Princess directly grabbed Mu Rufeng’s arm: "If you don’t take , I’ll sneak there myself; you can’t stop ."
"Seventh Sister, this is not a joke; the Five Domains Ghost Cave is showing unusual activity. It’s too dangerous there; you can’t go," Mu Rufeng said earnestly.
"You’re not afraid of danger; how could you let be in danger?"
"Also, isn’t Jian Yifeng coming to marry in a month? I’ll co back when it’s almost ti," Mu Wuxia added.
"Your strength is too weak. Go ask Mother; if Mother agrees, co to the new army camp outside the Imperial City with her token," Mu Rufeng said.
Mu Wuxia wanted to say more, but Mu Rufeng directly pushed her away, then led his people quickly toward the palace gates.
At this mont, Mu Wuxia realized that Mu Rufeng’s cultivation had surprisingly reached the Peak of Soul Refining.
"How did Ninth Brother’s cultivation improve so fast? He’s suddenly at the Peak of Soul Refining!" Mu Wuxia looked in shock as Mu Rufeng left.
When she ca to her senses, she saw Mu Rufeng was already leaving.
In the end, she could only stomp her foot and then stride toward the Empress’s sleeping quarters.
Though the Empress wouldn’t agree to her going, she didn’t need her agreent; Mu Rufeng only cared about the Empress’s token.
With a bit of coddling, getting a token from the Empress would be easy.
...
Outside the Imperial City, ten miles to the south.
This was originally where Mu Rufeng’s army was stationed, but it was abandoned after the army was destroyed.
However, Mu Rufeng had Ye Lin train the new army and reactivated it.
This army of two hundred thousand can be said to be mostly new recruits, drafted from villages that had received compensation.
Among them, half of the Contractors were arranged to join, while the other half were positioned throughout the court.
Moreover, these Contractors also brought in their fellow disciples or apprentices, all who they could gather, joining the new army.
This was also Ye Lin’s strategy.
You could say, in this army of two hundred thousand, almost anyone in charge was practically the Contractor’s own people.
anwhile, Mu Rufeng also equipped them with lavish gear, along with cultivation techniques and resources for everyone to cultivate.
In just a month, all the soldiers entered Level 1 Refining Skin Realm, and the gifted ones even reached Refining Tendon and at.
Anyway, it didn’t cost Mu Rufeng, so he spent extravagantly without feeling the pinch.
"Greetings, Crown Prince!" Ye Lin stepped forward to salute Mu Rufeng.
"Greetings, Crown Prince." All the other Contractors also stepped forward to salute.
Privately, they could be indifferent, but on the surface, they must maintain their respective identities.
"You needn’t stand on ceremony. Let’s go to the tent; I have sothing to discuss with you," Mu Rufeng said.
