267: Chapter 267 Assassination

That night, Luo Ningshuang rewarded Chen Hu five times.

During this period, to help her improve her strength, Chen Hu directly used Foundation Establishment spiritual power to cleanse and temper her Physical Body.

After this tempering, her Physical Body reached the Blood Refining Realm level, and even her talent improved significantly.

Moreover, Chen Hu also gave her an Intermediate constitution pill.

Allowing her to awaken the Xuanbing Spirit Body.

In addition, he also gave her many special cultivation resources.

It wouldn't be long before her cultivation level could break through several minor Realms in succession.

The next morning.

Chen Hu brought gifts and headed towards the Sun family.

It is worth mentioning that last night, Huang Zhong and Zhao Zilong sent news one after another.

They had already conquered the other two county cities.

Consequently, Chen Hu used Near and Far to visit the two county cities.

He purchased two hundred Puppet officials from the System space to let them manage the two county cities.

Furthermore.

After the minion points refreshed last night.

He gained another 7.09 million minion points.

Bringing his total minion points to over 7.49 million.

"Knock, knock!"

Chen Hu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Then, a burst of hurried footsteps approached.

The gate opened, and it was Sun Lingyue.

The moment she saw Chen Hu, Sun Lingyue's pretty Face flushed slightly; she knew what Chen Hu was there for.

She didn't dare to look him in the eye.

She said in a low voice, "You're here."

"Is Father-in-law home?"

Chen Hu stepped forward, grabbed Sun Lingyue's hand, and asked while kneading it.

"Shameless, we aren't even married yet, don't call him that."

Sun Lingyue was still Sun Lingyue; after a brief moment of shyness, she immediately reverted to her original fiery temper and pulled her hands out of Chen Hu's grasp.

"It's only a matter of time," Chen Hu said with a chuckle.

"Ahem!"

Just then, a deliberately made coughing sound rang out.

It was Pavilion Master Sun appearing on the corridor, staring at Chen Hu with somewhat unfriendly eyes.

Hearing her father's cough, Sun Lingyue immediately put some distance between herself and Chen Hu.

Facing Pavilion Master Sun's unfriendly gaze, Chen Hu didn't retreat in the slightest; instead, he boldly met his gaze, then grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and said, "Uncle, are you feeling unwell?"

"Hmph." Pavilion Master Sun let out a cold snort: "General Chen, what brings you to my humble home?"

"Uncle, don't be so formal. Lingyue and I are in love, and today I am here to propose marriage!" Chen Hu stepped forward, bowed to Pavilion Master Sun, and said.

"General Chen has a noble status, and my daughter is willful and headstrong, I'm afraid..."

Before Pavilion Master Sun could finish, Sun Lingyue hurriedly interrupted: "Father, Young Master Chen is a guest, shouldn't we invite him in?"

"Sigh!"

Looking at his daughter's hopeless expression, Pavilion Master Sun couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Come in!"

Worried that her father would make things difficult for Chen Hu again.

Sun Lingyue deliberately had the servants take Chen Hu to the reception hall first.

While she intentionally lagged behind, pulling Pavilion Master Sun aside and saying: "Father, I have already promised myself to Young Master Chen, and I will not marry anyone else. You must not make things difficult for him!"

Hearing this, Pavilion Master Sun's Face twitched, and he sighed again: "A grown daughter is like spilled water. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him. Besides, he is now the General of the Fierce Tiger Army, and I am merely in the Tendon Refining Realm; how could I dare to make things difficult for him!"

"Alright, Father, stop being so sour!"

Sun Lingyue said: "Didn't you dream of breaking through to the Bone Refining Realm? With Young Master Chen as your son-in-law, breaking through in the future will be easy!"

"Even if I want to break through, I won't sell my daughter!"

Pavilion Master Sun snorted coldly.

"Father, your words are too harsh. What do you mean by selling my daughter? We are mutually in love!"

"A young lady, with no sense of modesty!"

"Can modesty be eaten?"

Sun Lingyue threw caution to the wind: "Besides, even our Chief is willing to marry him, why shouldn't I be willing?"

"Stinky girl, shut up!"

"Fine, I won't say anything. Let's go in, don't keep Young Master Chen waiting!"

...

Before long, Pavilion Master Sun entered the reception hall.

Chen Hu immediately stood up to greet him; after all, he was his future father-in-law, and he had to give him that much Face.

Since his daughter was determined to marry Chen Hu.

Pavilion Master Sun knew he couldn't stop it, and his attitude towards Chen Hu improved.

Chen Hu was not stingy and gave the betrothal gifts on the spot.

Although they weren't silver, they were far more valuable than silver.

Because the betrothal gifts Chen Hu gave were Medicinal Pill + Spirit Medicine + Heaven-grade Cultivation Technique + Heaven-grade Martial Skill.

Seeing Chen Hu offer so many betrothal gifts, Pavilion Master Sun's Face flushed: "Young Master Chen, isn't this too much?"

"Uncle, you raised Lingyue through all the hardships. Taking Lingyue away with just these betrothal gifts, I'm the one who profited!"

Chen Hu said with a sincere Face.

Sun Lingyue, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was very satisfied, thinking to herself that this guy was quite good at talking.

Next.

The two began to discuss the wedding date.

And set it for ten days later.

Because in five days, Chen Hu would marry Luo Ningshuang.

After discussing the wedding date, Pavilion Master Sun wanted to keep Chen Hu for lunch.

Chen Hu did not stand on ceremony.

He stayed directly.

At noon, the father-in-law and son-in-law drank a lot of wine.

Fortunately, Pavilion Master Sun held his liquor well; after getting drunk, he just fell asleep on the table and didn't try to swear brotherhood with Chen Hu.

After sending Pavilion Master Sun back to his room.

Chen Hu left with Sun Lingyue.

She was the Assistant Commander of the Brocade Guard in her heart.

With the Brocade Guard newly established, she still had to worry about it a bit.

Before coming to the Sun family, Chen Hu had sent some Puppet officials to handle internal affairs and screen intelligence to the Brocade Guard station.

At the same time, he also deposited 10 million taels of silver in the treasury.

The treasury also contained quite a few Medicinal Pills and exotic beast meat.

This made Luo Ningshuang very satisfied, and she almost made a military pledge on the spot.

Time flew by.

It was evening again.

Just as he was about to eat, Luo Ningshuang found Chen Hu.

"It's bad, the second son of the Lingzhou Governor, Zhao Jianfei, is leading an army of 10,000 towards our Menghu City!"

"Don't panic!"

Chen Hu signaled Luo Ningshuang to sit down, handed her a cup of tea, and told her to take a sip before reporting.

Luo Ningshuang took a sip of the Spirit tea and continued: "This Zhao Jianfei is a military Genius. At sixteen, he had already mastered three military formations, and after several years, his control over military formations must be even more proficient. I'm afraid he won't be easy to deal with!"

"Your mindset hasn't shifted yet!"

Chen Hu said unhurriedly: "You have many experts under your command, it shouldn't be difficult to assassinate a Zhao Jianfei."

Luo Ningshuang was slightly stunned, then realized, and then smiled: "It is indeed true that I haven't shifted my mindset. I will arrange for someone to assassinate him now!"

"No rush!"

Chen Hu held her hand: "It won't be too late to arrange it after eating."

"Alright!"

Luo Ningshuang did not object.

Because she only needed to send one Blood Refining Realm expert to assassinate Zhao Jianfei.

And with the speed of the Blood Refining Realm, being an hour or two late didn't matter.

However, Luo Ningshuang was still concerned about the assassination. After having dinner at the City Lord's Mansion.

She hurried to the Brocade Guard station.

Soon.

Two Blood Refining experts left Zhenlong City and headed straight for Lingzhou City.

To ensure the success of the assassination, Luo Ningshuang directly sent her two Late Stage of Blood Refining Puppet guards.

After all, this was the Brocade Guard's first assassination mission, and she didn't want to disappoint Chen Hu.
