138: Chapter 138 The Terrifying Zhenwu Division
Seeing Dongfang Jun's favorability rating had already reached 78 points, Chen Hu continued to ask: "How about it, Miss Dongfang? Are you willing to stay and work for me?"
Dongfang Jun said: "If I stay, will I implicate you?"
Chen Hu said quite confidently: "You don't need to worry about that. I have connections in both the Prefecture City government office and the Zhenwu Division. With my help covering for you, Young Marquis Wei Wuji won't be able to find you!"
"Alright then!"
This time, Dongfang Jun did not hesitate and agreed.
"For now, I have to trouble you to act as a maid in my residence, is that alright?" Chen Hu asked, looking at Dongfang Jun.
"No problem!"
Chen Hu summoned Zhizhi and had her find a set of maid's clothing for Dongfang Jun to change into.
Although Dongfang Jun was already 25 years old, due to her powerful cultivation, she looked very young, not even twenty.
After settling Dongfang Jun in, Chen Hu first went to the backyard to make an appearance.
Then he came to his study.
With a thought, the Permanent Summoning Card appeared in his hand.
He really wanted to see what kind of character this Permanent Summoning Card would summon.
"Use!"
The next moment, the card in his hand turned into light sand and disappeared. Following that, a person appeared out of thin air in the room.
Chen Hu looked closely and saw that the person summoned was a handsome youth wearing silver-white armor and holding a long spear.
Immediately after, information about the other party appeared in Chen Hu's mind.
"Damn, it's actually him!"
"Subordinate Zhao Zilong greets the Lord!"
Watching Zhao Zilong kneeling on one knee, Chen Hu quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying: "General Zhao Zilong, no need for such formalities. Please, rise quickly!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zhao Zilong stood up accordingly.
"By the way, General Zhao Zilong, do you remember how you came to this world?" Chen Hu asked with some curiosity.
Zhao Zilong quickly cupped his hands and bowed: "Reporting to the Lord, I was already dead. It was your summoning that gave me a new life!"
"I see!"
Chen Hu nodded: "In that case, you will serve as my personal bodyguard from now on. By the way, you need to take off this armor, otherwise it's too conspicuous!"
Armor was strictly prohibited by the imperial court.
Anyone who dared to forge armor privately would be treated as committing treason.
"Yes, Lord!"
Chen Hu called Zhizhi this time and had her take Zhao Zilong to the front courtyard to find a room to stay in.
By the way, the Zhao Zilong he summoned definitely didn't come from a normal historical timeline.
Because the Zhao Zilong before his eyes was much more powerful than the Zhao Zilong in history and the romance novels.
Because his strength had already reached Late-stage Refining Viscera.
His talent had also reached the high-grade Heavenly rank.
The Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill he practiced were also Heavenly rank.
It was one thing to have drawn ghost soldiers and a cavalry battalion before, but now he had even summoned a martial general like Zhao Zilong.
"System, you aren't trying to make me rebel, are you?"
Chen Hu teased in his heart.
Then, Chen Hu took out the Spirit Pet Card.
"Use!"
The card also turned into light sand, and then, a sturdy black horse, two-thirds larger than an ordinary horse, appeared in the study.
This horse even had a protrusion on its forehead.
Likewise, information about this horse appeared in Chen Hu's mind.
This was a Dragon Horse. At full speed, it could travel five thousand li a day. At the same time, the horse's own strength was not to be underestimated, reaching Late-stage Bone Refining.
"From now on, you shall be called Xiao Hei!"
Xiao Hei nodded at Chen Hu, seemingly accepting the name.
Afterwards, Chen Hu led Xiao Hei out of the study.
Seeing this scene, a look of surprise flashed across Ruyi's Face. How did an extra horse appear in Brother Hu's study?
But she didn't ask, because she had long known that the Brother Hu she followed was very mysterious.
After all, whose master would feed their own maids spirit rice and spirit water?
You have to know, ever since the eight of them came to Chen Hu's house, they ate spirit rice and drank spirit water every day.
And yesterday and today, they even ate exotic beast meat.
In just the few days they had been at the Chen residence, the cultivation of all eight of them had improved significantly. In a few more days, their cultivation would likely make a Breakthrough.
There was a stable in the front courtyard.
Unfortunately, there was no groom.
Chen Hu led Xiao Hei into the stable and put some spirit wheat and spirit water in the trough.
Then he took the now armor-less Zhao Zilong and went out.
He decided to go to the agency to buy two grooms and some servants for manual labor.
He couldn't let his beautiful maids do these dirty and tiring jobs.
Government office, backyard.
Young Marquis Wei Wuji was lying on a chair basking in the sun.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and the guard Lao Qi appeared.
Young Marquis Wei Wuji slowly sat up and looked at Lao Qi: "How did the inquiries go? What beauties are there in this Linjiang Prefecture?"
Indeed, while pursuing Dongfang Jun, he hadn't forgotten to have another guard go and inquire about the beauties in Linjiang Prefecture.
Lao Qi bowed and said: "Young Marquis, according to my inquiries, there are quite a few famous beauties in Linjiang Prefecture. The most famous one is Luo Ningshuang, the commander of the Zhenwu Division. This woman has silver hair, and her own strength is not bad, reaching Late-stage Bone Refining. Her appearance is also stunning. If the Young Marquis needs it, I can knock her out and send her to your bed."
"That won't do!"
Young Marquis Wei Wuji waved his hand: "People from the Zhenwu Division cannot be touched casually."
Although he was a madman, he also knew who could be provoked and who could not.
It was true that the Wei Family held immense power, but there were still quite a few who did not give his Wei Family Face.
For example, the civil official faction represented by Prime Minister Xie would not give his Wei Family Face, and instead had impeached him and the Wei Family many times.
If it weren't for his aunt, who was an Imperial Noble Consort, whispering in the old Emperor's ear many times.
Even if his Wei Family wasn't raided, they would definitely have been punished.
Besides the faction of Prime Minister Xie, the Zhenwu Division would not give his Wei Family Face either.
He had once suffered a great loss at the hands of the Zhenwu Division.
Once, he had teased the daughter of a Qianhu of the Capital Zhenwu Division on the street.
That same night.
He was sacked and beaten severely.
And the person who beat him threatened him, saying if he dared to trouble the families of the Zhenwu Division again, they would break his legs.
He naturally didn't believe it.
After his injuries healed, he immediately took men to find trouble with that Zhenwu Division Qianhu's daughter.
As a result, halfway there, he was ambushed, and the men he brought were killed to the last one.
His former personal bodyguard barely managed to carry him away before dying of severe injuries.
Shocked and angry, he went to complain to the old man, but the old man changed his usual attitude, no longer indulging him, and even used family law to give him a severe beating.
The next day, the old man personally took him to the home of that Zhenwu Division Qianhu to apologize.
Afterwards, he didn't understand why the old man, who was not only a Marquis but also the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards, would fear the Zhenwu Division.
So, he specifically sent people to inquire about it.
Only then did he learn that the Zhenwu Division was a violent organization established after the Great Yong Kingdom conquered the world.
Over so many years, the Zhenwu Division had long reached an extremely terrifying level.
It had even reached the point where even the Emperor was wary of them.
Once, an Emperor, after ascending the throne, was wary of the Zhenwu Division's strength and ordered its disbandment.
As a result, after disbanding the Zhenwu Division, that Emperor became blind and deaf.
He was deceived and fooled by all the officials in various ways.
Helpless, he had to re-enable the Zhenwu Division.
Moreover, the Zhenwu Division had another characteristic, which was that they protected their own.
Don't look at Luo Ningshuang as just a commander of a Prefecture City; once he touched her, Young Marquis Wei Wuji was 100% sure he wouldn't make it back to the Capital, but would be killed on the road to the Capital.
