260: Chapter 260 The Spy Who Acted on His Own Decisions

"That's great!"

Upon seeing Chen Hu summon a batch of officials, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a military general; he excelled at leading troops into battle, but handling political affairs gave him a headache.

Subsequently, under Huang Zhong's arrangements, these 100 officials began taking over official positions within Tianhe Commandery.

"Old Huang, were there any casualties in today's siege?" Chen Hu asked.

"Reporting to the Commander, you overestimate these commandery soldiers."

Huang Zhong gave a disdainful laugh: "My subordinates are all elites who can hold their own against a thousand. Plus, they are wearing top-quality armor; how could mere commandery soldiers possibly harm them!"

Next, Chen Hu chatted with Huang Zhong.

While using his Spiritual Sense to observe those Puppet officials.

It must be said, anything produced by the System is a quality product.

Under their management, the entire commandery city quickly returned to peace.

"Old Huang, I'll be heading off first to go check on General Zhao Zilong!"

"Farewell, Commander!" Huang Zhong rose and said.

"Swish!"

A figure flashed by, and Chen Hu used Near and Far to arrive at Fulong Prefecture.

He arrived just in time.

Zhao Zilong was currently leading a large army in the assault on Fulong Prefecture.

Among the five commanderies of Linjiang, Fulong Prefecture was the most prosperous.

However, facing the assault of the Bone Refining elite troops, the thousands of commandery soldiers were still no match.

In less than a quarter of an hour.

The city walls were completely overrun.

This was even with General Zhao Zilong only sending out one thousand soldiers to capture the city walls.

"Boom!"

The city gates were opened.

"Enter the city!"

General Zhao Zilong raised his bright silver spear and directly led over two thousand Bone Refining elite troops to charge into the city.

Subsequently, there was only sporadic resistance within the city.

Those officials and wealthy households who wanted to flee were also all captured under General Zhao Zilong's command.

"Swish!"

Chen Hu appeared in front of General Zhao Zilong.

"Commander, you've arrived!"

General Zhao Zilong hurriedly saluted.

"General Zhao Zilong, well done!" Chen Hu praised.

But General Zhao Zilong modestly replied: "Commander, you overpraise me. It is mainly because the soldiers you provided are too strong; even if it were someone else, they could easily take this commandery city!"

"Alright, credit is credit, you don't need to be so modest. Also, I've sent you 100 civil officials!"

While speaking, Chen Hu summoned the System Mall.

He quickly made some selections and bought another 100 civil officials.

"I'll leave this Fulong Prefecture to you; I'm heading back now!"

As his voice fell, Chen Hu used Near and Far and departed.

That night, in a bridal chamber decorated with particular festivity.

Chen Hu pushed the door open and entered.

The six dowry Maids bowed and saluted one after another.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Rise, no need for such formalities!" Chen Hu raised his hand and said: "By the way, have you all eaten?"

"Reporting to Master, we have all eaten," Maid hurriedly said.

"Alright, then you all go and rest," Chen Hu said.

"Master, let this servant stay behind to serve you and the Mistress."

Maid suggested with a blush.

She was Nangong Hongyan's personal Maid; according to the rules, if the Mistress couldn't handle it, she would have to step up and help.

"No need, you should head out first," Chen Hu waved his hand.

Seeing this, a look of disappointment couldn't help but appear in Maid's eyes.

"Yes, Master, Mistress, this servant will take her leave!"

Maid bowed and left the room, then gently closed the door.

Chen Hu stepped forward, lifted Nangong Hongyan's red bridal veil, sat down beside her, and asked gently: "Are you tired?"

Nangong Hongyan laughed softly: "Husband, I am not a weak woman. Furthermore, being able to marry you makes me very happy; how could I feel tired!"

"You really know how to talk; it must be very sweet. Let me have a taste."

While speaking, Chen Hu hooked Nangong Hongyan's chin and was about to kiss her.

But Nangong Hongyan reached out to block his mouth and said: "Husband, we haven't drunk the nuptial wine yet. It won't be too late to kiss after we drink the nuptial wine!"

"Alright then, let's quickly drink the nuptial wine!"

The two came to the table, and Chen Hu picked up the prepared nuptial wine, poured it into two cups, and handed one to Nangong Hongyan.

Then, the two intertwined their arms and each drank the wine in their cups.

"Mistress, the nuptial wine has been finished, so now we should attend to the real business!"

This time, Nangong Hongyan did not object; instead, she leaned in proactively, her breath fragrant like an orchid as she said: "I ask that Husband be gentle!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu seemed as if he had been stimulated.

He scooped Nangong Hongyan up in his arms and strode towards the bed.

Then, the red quilt billowed like waves, continuing for a long time.

Just as Chen Hu entered the bridal chamber.

A spy from the Lingzhou Governor's Office also arrived at Menghu City.

After using light movement techniques to sneak into the city, he began to gather information everywhere.

But the information he gathered made him secretly shocked.

Because this Linjiang Prefecture had already been occupied by Chen Hu, who had declared himself Commander of the Fierce Tiger Army.

Prefect Yang Ze and the Commandery Army Commandant had both been beheaded.

Chief Constable Xu Shiyou had even defected to the rebels directly.

At the same time, the Thousand-Household of the Zhenwu Division and his subordinates, the Zhenwu Guard, had all been captured.

After gathering this information.

He immediately took out a pre-prepared small note, wrote a letter, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, tied it to a pigeon's leg, and sent it via carrier pigeon.

After sending the carrier pigeon.

His eyes flickered constantly.

He was not unfamiliar with this person, Chen Hu.

The other party was an existence ranked twenty-second on the hidden dragon ranking.

His cultivation was Early-stage Bone-Refining Realm, capable of fighting against Middle Stage Marrow Refining Realm.

But he himself was Late Stage Marrow Refining.

He felt that Chen Hu being able to take Linjiang City had a lot to do with his own strength.

As long as he captured Chen Hu.

Then the so-called Fierce Tiger Army would just be a rabble.

Thinking of this.

He quickly found someone to interrogate and forced out the location where Chen Hu resided.

He intended to capture Chen Hu alive and present him to the Governor-General.

Perhaps the Governor-General would be happy and grant him quite a few Cultivation resources.

Soon, Zhao De learned of Chen Hu's address.

He used his movement technique and rushed over quickly.

However, he discovered that the street where Chen Hu's residence was located was exceptionally lively, with a large number of commoners eating a banquet there.

Chen Hu was quite generous this time.

He had ordered that all the purchased ingredients be cooked up.

Because guests were coming in and out today, Chen Hu had disabled the protective formation.

Therefore, Zhao De was not stopped by the protective formation and successfully infiltrated the Chen residence.

Just as he intended to sneak towards the backyard, a palm landed on his shoulder: "What are you doing?"

Zhao De was terrified in his heart.

He was, after all, a Late Stage Marrow Refining expert, alright.

How could someone easily come up behind him and pat him on the shoulder?

Consequently, he turned to look at the other person and discovered that the one who patted his shoulder was a dark-skinned, ugly man.

"Chih!"

A dagger fell from his sleeve into his hand and quickly swept towards Dian Wei's neck.

"Little thief, you dare to attack your Grandpa Dian!"

Dian Wei gave a disdainful laugh, striking after but arriving first, smashing a fist onto Zhao De's chest and sending him flying.

"Organ Refining!"

"How could there be an Organ Refining Realm expert in Chen Hu's home?"

Zhao De, who had landed on the ground, exclaimed in unwillingness, while his heart was filled with regret.

Governor-General Zhao Tianqing only told him to come to Linjiang Prefecture to gather information, not to capture Chen Hu alive.

Why did he have to do something unnecessary?

"Speak, you little brat, who sent you here?"

Dian Wei stepped forward, stomping his large foot onto Zhao De's chest to interrogate him.

"Don't even think about it; I won't tell you a single word!" Zhao De said with a heroic, righteous air.

"Tch, if you won't talk, fine. I can't be bothered!"

Dian Wei gave a disdainful laugh, released True Qi from under his foot, directly crushing Zhao De's internal organs, and then carried the body as he leaped over the wall and out.

Today was his Lord's big day; having a corpse appear was so unlucky.

Therefore, he took the liberty of throwing the body outside the city.
