288: Chapter 288 Three Great Qi Refining Techniques Attack

"Who is the Gang-Refining Expert backing you?"

Chen Hu asked with some curiosity.

"If General Chen agrees to form an Alliance, this humble girl can tell you. But if we do not ally, I cannot inform you!" Princess Yang Xianer smiled, feeling secretly pleased that she had finally gained leverage over this guy.

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I've already guessed it," Chen Hu said thoughtfully.

"Impossible!" Princess Yang Xianer immediately blurted out.

"It's your and Yang Tian's mother, isn't it?" Chen Hu said, staring at Princess Yang Xianer's expression.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chen Hu's words, although Princess Yang Xianer's facial expression did not change at all, there was a subtle shift in her eyes.

This indicated that he had guessed correctly.

Princess Yang Xianer tried to cover it up, saying, "General Chen must be joking. My mother is just a lady of the inner chambers. How could she be a Gang-Refining Expert?"

"If she isn't, she isn't. I was just guessing!" Chen Hu's smile was very bright.

Seeing the smile on his face, Princess Yang Xianer felt an urge to kill.

Clearly, this guy was certain that her mother was indeed a Gang-Refining Expert.

"General Chen, Director General Zhuge Rongrong is not to be underestimated. An Alliance between our two families would definitely be a powerful union!" Princess Yang Xianer urged once more.

"Then I'll think about it!"

Chen Hu intentionally put on a hesitant look.

Seeing Chen Hu still hesitating, Princess Yang Xianer couldn't help but say, "General Chen, if you are willing to form an Alliance, to show our Yang family's sincerity, I can marry you on behalf of the Yang family!"

There were three major benefits to her marrying Chen Hu.

First, it would facilitate the Alliance between both sides.

Second, with her as the bond, the two sides would truly be a powerful union.

Third, after marrying Chen Hu, she could also figure out his trump cards.

"Is Young Miss Yang planning to use a honey trap?" Chen Hu teased.

"And does General Chen fall for that?"

Princess Yang Xianer stood up, walked behind Chen Hu, and reached out to massage his shoulders.

Judging by how Chen Hu had taken three concubines in quick succession, she was convinced that this guy was a lecherous man.

"I do, of course I do!"

Chen Hu closed his eyes, enjoying Princess Yang Xianer's massage.

"Then does General Chen agree to our Alliance?"

Princess Yang Xianer's expression brightened with joy.

"That depends on your performance!" Chen Hu smiled.

As soon as his voice fell, Princess Yang Xianer pressed herself against his back.

Chen Hu pretended to enjoy it, but secretly thought that this woman was truly willing to go all out.

To his knowledge, through the Eye of Insight, he had discovered that this woman's favorability toward him was actually -5.

"Alright, I agree to this Alliance!"

Chen Hu said.

"That's wonderful, thank you, General!" Princess Yang Xianer immediately planted a kiss on Chen Hu's cheek.

However, Chen Hu reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.

At the same time, his large hand began to move around mischievously.

"General, don't be in such a hurry. Why don't I give myself to you after I marry you?" Princess Yang Xianer held down Chen Hu's hand, speaking in a coquettish tone, though in her heart, she was cursing him to high heaven.

"Haha, alright, so when do you plan to marry over?" Chen Hu withdrew his hand. "But let me make it clear beforehand: I already have someone in mind for my primary wife. If you marry in, you can only be a concubine!"

"What? A concubine?"

Princess Yang Xianer immediately broke free from Chen Hu's embrace. Because she was too emotional, her voice became somewhat high-pitched.

Although the Yang family's empire was gone.

But in her heart, she was still of noble imperial blood. If the Yang family's empire hadn't been lost, she would be a princess.

As a princess, how could she possibly become someone's concubine?

"I have already promised the position of primary wife to someone else. You can't expect me to go back on my word, can you?" Chen Hu said unhurriedly, not taking Princess Yang Xianer's emotions seriously at all.

"No way!"

Princess Yang Xianer objected, "I can marry you, but I will not be a concubine!"

"In that case, there's nothing left to discuss!" Chen Hu's expression turned cold.

"...You...!"

Princess Yang Xianer was about to explode with anger. Pointing at Chen Hu, she said, "You are shameless!"

Then, unable to contain her rage any longer, she stormed outside.

But at this moment, Chen Hu's voice rang out, "Young Miss Yang, if you step out of this door, then there will be no Alliance to discuss between our two families!"

Hearing this, Princess Yang Xianer's expression froze.

She turned back and glared at Chen Hu. "What on earth do you want?"

"You're asking the obvious!"

Chen Hu picked up his teacup, blew away the tea leaves, and sipped his tea with great enjoyment.

Seeing this, Princess Yang Xianer felt that this guy's face was truly detestable.

If possible, she really wanted to tear him to pieces.

But she also knew that allying with Chen Hu would bring immense convenience to their restoration of the country.

If the talks fell through,

not only would they be unable to unite, but they might even become enemies.

This was not what she wanted to see.

"Fine, I agree!"

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "However, this matter concerns the reputation of our Yang family. My agreement alone is not enough; I must return and ask my eldest brother for instructions!"

"In that case, why are you still staying here? Hurry back and convince your eldest brother!" Chen Hu urged.

"Fine, then this humble girl shall take her leave!"

Princess Yang Xianer turned and walked out. Her face had turned extremely gloomy, and a deep sense of disgust and murderous intent was hidden in her eyes.

After leaving Zhenlong City,

Princess Yang Xianer growled in a low voice, "Chen Hu, just you wait! One day, this lady will make you wish you were dead!"

In her eyes, even if she married Chen Hu in the future, she would only belong to the Yang family, not the Chen family.

With the conclusion of Chen Hu's wedding,

the news of the Fierce Tiger Army successfully occupying Yulong Prefecture also spread throughout Lingzhou.

For a time, the Yellow Heaven Sect also became anxious.

They immediately prepared to have the Yellow Heaven Army march toward Taiyi Prefecture, striving to capture Taiyi Prefecture as soon as possible.

That night,

Chen Hu came to the bridal chamber.

Although he and Luo Ningshuang had already broken through that boundary long ago,

Chen Hu was still looking forward to tonight's wedding night.

At the same time,

Director General Zhuge Rongrong of the Zhenwu Division was secretly heading toward Linjiang Prefecture with two experts at the Early Stage of Gang Refining.

In the current world of Great Yong,

the two rebel armies supported by the Lotus Sect had already gone into hiding.

Yunzhou had calmed down.

Consequently, the rebel forces in Lingzhou became extremely conspicuous.

And among the two rebel armies in Lingzhou, Chen Hu was the most prominent.

Therefore, the imperial court planned to eliminate him.

Yet, Chen Hu had a Gang-Refining Expert backing him, and even Marquis Weiwu had died in Linjiang Prefecture.

Thus, the imperial court did not dare to be careless.

They had Director General Zhuge Rongrong personally lead two experts at the Early Stage of the Liangang Realm to eliminate Chen Hu and the Liangang Realm expert behind him.

The speed of Liangang Realm experts was extremely fast.

At their current speed, it would take them at most a little over two hours to reach Zhenlong City.

Late at night,

inside the bridal chamber, Chen Hu frowned slightly.

Sensing something unusual, Luo Ningshuang asked, "Xiao Hu, what's wrong?"

Chen Hu said in a deep voice, "Some experts have sneaked in. I need to go handle it!"

Soon,

Chen Hu put on his clothes, told Luo Ningshuang to stay in the room and not run around, and then vanished.

In front of the main gate of the City Lord's Manor,

three figures that blended into the night appeared.

Just as they were about to slip into the City Lord's Manor,

three finger forces suddenly shot toward their chests.

The Protective Aura inside their bodies surfaced instinctively,

blocking the finger forces.

However, they had all underestimated the finger forces hitting them; they were all sent flying by the power contained within the finger forces, crashing miserably onto the street.

"How... how is this possible?!"

All three of them were dazed by the fall.

It was especially hard to accept for Director General Zhuge Rongrong. As someone at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, she had actually been defeated by a single finger force.

Indeed, they had already lost.

The opponent's ability to send them flying and make them crash to the ground without any resistance already proved that the opponent's cultivation far surpassed theirs.
