277: Chapter 277 Capturing Princess Anping and Attacking Yulong Mansion

Silently,

Chen Hu appeared in Princess Anping's bedchamber.

Although it was past midnight,

Princess Anping was not asleep; instead, she was cultivating.

Chen Hu used his Spiritual Sense to check Princess Anping's condition and found that she had almost completed one round of Marrow Refining.

As long as she completed one round of Marrow Refining, she would be able to smoothly break through to the Mid-stage Marrow Refining Realm.

The princess's bedchamber was divided into inner and outer rooms, with maidservants on duty in the outer room.

Under Chen Hu's methods, the four maidservants on duty all fell into a deep sleep.

Then, he stepped into the inner room.

"Who is it?!"

Princess Anping gave a low shout, and a short sword appeared in her hand out of thin air.

When she saw it was Chen Hu, the expression on her face instantly turned into one of pleasant surprise.

Then, like a swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself from her bed directly into Chen Hu's embrace.

"Chen Lang, why did you come to see me at this hour?"

Princess Anping wrapped her arms around Chen Hu's neck, speaking in a coquettish tone, while her long legs wrapped directly around his waist.

"To steal a tryst, it is only natural to act in the dead of night!"

Chen Hu pecked Princess Anping lightly on the lips, a wicked smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm going to fight back."

Princess Anping was not satisfied with that fleeting kiss. As soon as she finished speaking, she kissed Chen Hu's lips passionately.

The two swapped saliva for a full quarter of an hour before finally parting.

Afterward, Chen Hu carried Princess Anping, who still refused to let go and remained clung to him, to the bedside: "Get down, let's sit and talk."

"No, I want to cling to you," Princess Anping said coquettishly.

"You really don't understand your own charm. If you keep clinging to me like this, I won't be able to hold back!" Chen Hu reached out and pinched Princess Anping's nose playfully.

"I didn't ask you to hold back!"

Princess Anping whispered, her beautiful face turning completely crimson as she spoke.

"Really? Then I won't hold back!"

Chen Hu leaned close to Princess Anping's ear, blowing warm breath as he spoke.

This turned her ears completely red.

"Mm!"

Princess Anping nodded gently, wrapping her body even tighter around Chen Hu.

Thus, Chen Hu stopped holding back.

He lifted Princess Anping's chin and kissed her once again.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

After being thoroughly ravaged by Chen Hu for over two hours, Princess Anping showed no signs of fatigue; instead, she was glowing with energy.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and said in a slight panic, "Chen Lang, oh no! I forgot there are maidservants on duty in the outer room. Our affair...!"

"Don't worry," Chen Hu comforted her. "They will sleep until dawn and won't know a thing."

"That's a relief!"

Princess Anping breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Chen Hu's identity was extremely sensitive. If her affair with Chen Hu were to be exposed, she would likely face condemnation and insults from thousands.

"Then, shall we do it again?"

Princess Anping's soft, delicate body pressed against him once more.

"What a greedy little thing!"

Chen Hu teased her and then began another round of double-queue battle.

At dawn,

Chen Hu quietly left the princess's bedchamber.

Princess Anping also immediately got up to clean up the aftermath and ventilate the room, lest anyone discover anything unusual.

After spending the night stealing a tryst, Chen Hu returned to Zhenlong City.

He then continued to open cards.

First, he opened a martial arts cultivation card, obtaining 50 days of cultivation.

This meant the five-fold luck from the good luck card had expired.

However, he didn't care about this small amount of cultivation.

After all, he had underling points. By spending just a few underling points, he could reach the Late Stage Great Perfection of the Hunyuan Martial Saint realm.

Next, he opened a technique card and a soul weapon card.

He obtained a High Grade technique and a Medium Grade soul weapon, respectively.

To be honest, ever since he began cultivating immortality, these techniques seemed a bit weak to Chen Hu.

This was because techniques were somewhat weak compared to the Spells of immortal cultivators.

Chen Hu planned to purchase some Spells to Cultivate once he reached the Golden Core Realm.

Only Spells could better unleash his full immortal cultivation.

Opening a lifespan card, he obtained 2 years of Lifespan.

He applied it directly to himself.

Next, Chen Hu opened the rest of the cards and brought up the System interface.

His gaze landed on the number of subordinates, and he found that the count had increased by another 200,000, reaching just over 11.25 million.

Currently,

the troops led by Huang Zhong and Zhao Zilong were sweeping through the many counties below.

It would probably take ten days to half a month to conquer all of these counties.

But Chen Hu didn't want to wait any longer.

He decided to capture Yulong City, the Prefecture City of Yulong Prefecture, first.

Yulong City was only a little over three hundred miles away from Linjiang City.

During breakfast,

Chen Hu casually mentioned his plan to conquer Yulong Prefecture.

Nangong Hongyan became interested: "Husband, can I come along with you?"

"If you're interested, you can tag along and watch!" Chen Hu said indifferently.

"That's great! Thank you, husband!"

Nangong Hongyan said excitedly.

For others, going to war required preparing provisions and military funds in advance.

Just preparing these things would take a lot of time.

But for Chen Hu, there was absolutely no need to prepare.

After breakfast, he tossed Nangong Hongyan a well-fitting suit of female general's armor and had her change into it.

Once she changed, he took her to the stables of the City Lord's Manor. Mounting Xiao Hei and another horse, they instantly vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared,

the two of them and their horses appeared directly over ten miles outside the west gate of Yulong City.

In the next moment,

with a wave of Chen Hu's hand, five thousand Tier-4 Black Armor Soldiers appeared behind him.

"Move out!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Hu led the five thousand Black Armor Soldiers toward Yulong City.

In the early morning,

the west gate of Yulong City was quite busy.

Many commoners, merchant caravans, and transport convoys were lining up to enter the city.

A squad of about thirty men was stationed at the city gate.

A long period of peace had caused these soldiers to lose their sense of vigilance.

It wasn't until Chen Hu led his troops to within a few hundred meters that they noticed them.

"Oh no! An army is attacking! Quick, close the city gates!"

For a moment, extreme chaos broke out at the city gate.

As the saying goes, the more chaotic things are, the easier it is to make mistakes. A caravan ended up blocking the gateway directly, making it impossible to close the gates.

"Husband, should we take this opportunity to charge forward and seize the gate?"

The crimson armor on Nangong Hongyan's body looked exceptionally dazzling under the morning sun.

"There's no need for that!"

Chen Hu chuckled: "We will defeat them fair and square!"

Through his Spiritual Sense, Chen Hu discovered that there wasn't even a single person in the Marrow Refining Realm within Yulong Prefecture.

There were only eight Bone Refining Realm Martial Artists in total.

Meanwhile, the five thousand soldiers under his command were all in the Bone Refining Realm.

With what could Yulong Prefecture possibly defend the city walls?

While Chen Hu waited,

the west gate was finally closed.

At the same time, the Commandant of Yulong Prefecture led three thousand prefecture soldiers onto the city walls.

This Commandant of Yulong Prefecture was actually stronger than the Commandant of Linjiang Prefecture, having reached at least the Early Stage of the Bone Refining Realm.

Before long,

the Prefect of Yulong Prefecture, the Chief Constable, and other officials also ascended the city walls one after another.

Looking at the five thousand silent Black Armor Soldiers standing behind Chen Hu and Nangong Hongyan, Prefect Xue Ao of Yulong Prefecture couldn't help but frown: "Do any of you know where this army is from?"

Because this army had no military banners or commander flags,

they could not identify them by their attire alone.
