Sun Tzu's art of war emphasizes the importance of winning by surprise, so Gu Sheng decided to be the cavalry to support Lin Tianhao and his party.
He set off with only Huang Miaoyin.
With the help of Green Vine Demonic Soul's induction, he can sense the situation within a radius of several kilometers, especially the situation of the marching army, which is particularly obvious.
The night is like ink, deep and mysterious.
Gu Sheng and Huang Miaoyin quietly went deep into the hinterland of Chu State, stepping on the edge of danger every step of the way.
"According to rumors, this hinterland of Chu State is a ruins of Primordial Era, hiding countless secrets."
Huang Miaoyin whispered, curiosity and awe flashing in his eyes.
As the granddaughter of Spirit Pill Peak Master Huang Yuncheng, he knows much more about the secrets than ordinary people.
This is also the reason why Gu Sheng only takes her with him.
Gu Sheng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he could feel an ancient and powerful aura permeating the air, as if something was awakening.
Suddenly, a strong wave came from a distance, and then, several Dao Body shadows came through the sky and landed in front of the two Gu Sheng.
"You dare to trespass into the hinterland of Chu State. How audacious!"
The leader was a burly strong man, with a cold light in his eyes and a cold tone.
Gu Sheng felt a shiver in his heart. He knew that this time it might be a disaster.
He didn't feel the slightest fear, but instead faced him.
"I came here to find something that belongs to me."
Gu Sheng's voice is calm, but every word is full of determination and confidence.
"Seeking death!"
The strong man roared angrily, and with a movement of his body, he rushed towards Gu Sheng.
Behind him, several Chu princes also followed closely, releasing powerful auras.
Gu Sheng A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes, and with a movement of his body, he locked hands with the strong man.
Huang Miaoyin is assisting from the side. Her figure is agile and elegant, and every shot is just right.
The battle was fierce and cruel. Gu Sheng was inextricably linked to the strong man. At the same time, he was also responsible for the safety of Huang Miaoyin.
"Ding-deng-deng..."
Huang Miaoyin played the wonderful pipa, and the thumping sound of horse hooves sounded, as if thousands of troops were galloping in.
More than a dozen warriors were on alert, and the three young masters in Chinese robes immediately retreated.
After all, the illusion is an illusion, and the confusion cannot last long. Gu Sheng knows that continuing like this is not an option, and he must resolve the battle as soon as possible.
At this moment, his Green Vine Demonic Soul suddenly became restless, as if he felt something.
Gu Sheng With a thought in his heart, he suddenly activated the demon soul, and saw a green vine instantly burst out of the ground and wrapped around the strong man.
The strong man's expression changed, and he felt the powerful power of Green Vine Demonic Soul.
But he had no time to dodge and could only resist.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the strong man was tightly entangled by Green Vine Demonic Soul, unable to move.
Gu Sheng took the opportunity to punch him and knocked him away.
Upon seeing this, the other Chu princes retreated in horror.
Gu Sheng had no intention of letting them go. He moved towards one of the princes.
"Spare my life! I am willing to pay any price!"
The prince shouted in horror.
This is the prince of Chu State, Prince Chu Xuan.
Gu Sheng stopped and looked at the prince with a trace of amusement in his eyes.
"Oh? What price are you willing to pay?" Gu Sheng asked calmly.
"I... I can give you countless gold and silver treasures, and I can also help you seek a high position in Chu State!" Prince Prince Chu Xuan said eagerly.
Gu Sheng shook his head, he didn't care about this.
He only stopped because he thought of a better plan.
"I don't need this."
Gu Sheng said coldly, "But if you are willing to be my bargaining chip, maybe I can spare your life."
Prince Chu Xuan The prince was stunned. He did not expect that Gu Sheng would make such a request.
But now he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, and he captured the prince and prepared to leave this dangerous place.
Huang Miaoyin was watching from the side, with a complicated light shining in his eyes.
On another battlefield, Lin Tianhao and others were being besieged by a force of ten thousand cavalry.
Although these iron cavalry are not high in cultivation, they are numerous and powerful.
Lin Tianhao and others were not afraid. They joined forces to fight against the enemy. Every blow was astonishingly powerful, and they quickly defeated the cavalry.
Gu Sheng did not forget the situation on the battlefield, and he sent Green Vine Demonic Soul to help fight the enemy.
This Green Vine Demonic Soul is not only powerful, it can also swallow corpses and accumulate vitality.
On the battlefield, it is like a giant green dragon, raging among the enemy and devouring all life.
Princess Zishuang received a gift from Gu Sheng at the rear - Prince Prince Chu Xuan.
A smug smile appeared on her lips, a cunning glint in her eyes. She immediately summoned envoys to prepare for negotiations with Chu.
At the negotiation table, Princess Zishuang used Prince Prince Chu Xuan as a bargaining chip to force Chu Emperor Emperor Chu Tianshu to retreat and hand over the previously annexed Seventy-two Cities of Yan Yun.
Her tone was strong and firm, and every word she spoke was full of threats and oppression.
Emperor Chu Tianshu was sitting on the dragon chair, his face as gloomy as water.
As the emperor of Chu, he never thought that he would be so forced by a woman. There was a trace of anger and unwillingness in his eyes, but more of helplessness and compromise.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Princess Zishuang, do you really think that our country of Chu is afraid of you Liang Kingdom? I, Emperor Chu Tianshu, will bear in mind today's humiliation, and I will pay it back a hundredfold in the future!"
Princess Zishuang heard this but didn't take it seriously at all. She chuckled lightly and said:
"Emperor Chu Tianshu, if you have the ability, come and get it. But today, you must withdraw your troops and hand over the city as I request."
The envoys of the two countries started a fierce contest at the negotiation table, but in the end, under the strong pressure of Princess Zishuang, Chu had to compromise. The war has temporarily come to an end, but the grievances between the two countries have not ended.
"Emperor Chu Tianshu values Prince Prince Chu Xuan too much and plans to let him inherit the throne, so he agreed to withdraw his troops!"
This is the public opinion of the people.
Gu Sheng didn't care about this, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
This time, he used Green Vine Demonic Soul to search for a shocking secret, forcing Prince Prince Chu Xuan to cooperate with his future actions, and then agreed to let Prince Chu Xuan survive.
Soon, he will explore this secret.
Among the Three Kingdoms, why is Chu the only country that dares to challenge two people? It turns out that there is a big secret.
Liang Kingdom joined forces with the State of Qi to push the State of Chu into a desperate situation. The emperors of the two countries toasted and celebrated, as if the world was in their hands.
However, although the Chu State was defeated, it did not surrender. Emperor Chu Tianshu's eyes were burning with the flame of revenge, and he vowed to avenge his previous humiliation.
Mad Saber Sect's disciple holds a giant blade with a bit of disdain on his face:
"Chu? Humph, you're just a clown, but you dare to rule the roost? If they lose this time, let's see what kind of trouble they can make!"
Great Sword Sect's disciple also sneered:
"The Chu Kingdom has long lost its former courage. This defeat is the beginning of their decline. We, Great Sword Sect, are the future overlords!"
However, Governor's Mansion's disciple frowned:
"The Chu State has a profound foundation and cannot be broken overnight. Although we are defeated this time, Emperor Chu Tianshu is very ambitious and will not give up."
During the discussion, the disciples of the Thousand Poisons Sect, Zhou Family and Wu Family stood on the side of Chu.
Thousand Poisons Sect's disciples sneered again and again:
"If Chu State is defeated, we will not be able to survive alone. Liang Kingdom, Qi State is so ambitious, we must help Chu State!"
The disciples of the Zhou Family and Wu Family also agreed one after another, and for a while, the situation became tense.
In this changing situation, the disciples of the Saint Pill Sect started talking about the contribution of Gu Sheng.
Lin Miaomiao's beautiful eyes flashed and he praised, "Senior brother Gu Sheng is really my Saint Pill Sect's pride. He used Green Vine Demonic Soul in the war and saved the lives of countless fellow disciples."
Huang Miaoyin also nodded. "Not only that, senior brother Gu Sheng also captured the prince of Chu State Prince Chu Xuan. Prince Chu Xuan's bargaining chip is the key to Chu State's retreat."
The discussion in the world has aroused dissatisfaction from others.
Qian Family's disciple sneered, "Huh, Saint Pill Sect it's just Gu Sheng who stole the limelight. Who doesn't contribute on the battlefield?"
Mu Family's disciple also pouted. "It's as if all the credit goes to the Saint Pill Sect!"
Lin Miaomiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Huang Miaoyin.
She shook her head slightly, signaling Lin Miaomiao not to argue with them.
She knew that the argument at this moment was meaningless, and only strength could convince people.
In the Imperial Palace of Chu State, Emperor Chu Tianshu stood alone on a high platform, overlooking the officials below.
His eyes shone with determination, as if he had seen the victory in the future.
He knows that if he wants to regain everything he has lost, he must rely on forces that share his goals. And Thousand Poisons Sect, Zhou Family and Wu Family are the powers he likes.
The rescued prince seemed to be a different person, with his mind still in a state of confusion.
"Soul Possession!"
Prince Chu Xuan I feel scared every time I think of this scene.
In fact, Gu Sheng just asked Green Vine Demonic Soul to possess him and talk to him, and he was so frightened that he obeyed Gu Sheng's words.
Gu Sheng Only then did he learn the shocking secret of Chu State.
Gu Sheng had an idea based on the information provided by Prince Chu Xuan.
In the dark night, deep in the palace, the concubine transformed by Gu Sheng walked lightly through the corridors.
Her figure is graceful, her face is charming, and every movement reveals a different kind of charm.
There was no ripple in her heart, only firm belief and the goal she was about to achieve.
"Your Majesty, I have specially prepared fragrant tea for you tonight. I wonder if Your Majesty is free to drink tea?"
Gu Sheng, as a concubine, has a soft voice and a seductive light in her eyes.
When Emperor Chu heard this, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. He laughed and said:
"My beloved concubine is so considerate, how can I refuse?"
The two walked side by side and entered a luxuriously decorated Secret Chamber.
The room is filled with aroma and the candlelight flickers, creating an ambiguous and mysterious atmosphere.
Gu Sheng opened her red lips lightly and poured tea for Emperor Chu. Her fingers inadvertently touched the back of Emperor Chu's hand, and the touch made Emperor Chu's heart flutter.
"Your Majesty, this fragrant tea was made by my concubine. It can relieve your Majesty's worries and help you sleep peacefully."
Gu Sheng's voice was low and magnetic, as if blowing gently in Emperor Chu's ears.
Emperor Chu's eyes became more and more blurred. He seemed to be attracted by Gu Sheng's voice and charm, completely forgetting his identity and purpose.
"My beloved concubine, you are truly my interpreter."
Emperor Chu put his arms around Gu Sheng's waist and hugged her tightly.
Gu Sheng felt something in her heart, and she knew this was her chance.
She smiled softly, put her hands around Emperor Chu's neck, and pressed her cheek against his chest.
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you." Gu Sheng's voice contained a hint of coquettishness and pleading.
"Oh? What's the matter with my beloved concubine?" Emperor Chu's voice was already a little confused.
"I would like to enter that Secret Chamber to have a look. I wonder if Your Majesty can grant it?" Gu Sheng took the opportunity to make his request.
Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment, but then he was confused by Gu Sheng's charm. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will take you there."
Gu Sheng felt happy, knowing that she had already succeeded halfway.
She clung to Emperor Chu tightly, and the two of them walked towards the entrance of Secret Chamber.
Secret Chamber is dark and mysterious. Gu Sheng With the help of weak candlelight, he began to carefully search for the mysterious treasure left by the founding emperor. Emperor Chu, on the other hand, was completely confused by Gu Sheng. He leaned to the side and looked at Gu Sheng's busy figure with blurred eyes.
The further inside they went, the larger the space became. Gradually, a small world appeared in front of the two of them.
The charm taught by Huang Miaoyin is like a kind of ecstasy, and the effect will wear off soon. Gu Sheng must not stop exploring and think about it in the long term.
Returning to the East Palace Villa, Gu Sheng took out a jade key and handed it to Prince Chu Xuan.
"How about it, is this the key to your treasure Secret Chamber?" Gu Sheng was a little proud.
"You... stole the key?" Prince Chu Xuan didn't believe his eyes.
"Counterfeit!"
It is very easy to copy a key with Helian Weapon Forging Art and Gu Sheng.
Prince Chu Xuan was convinced that since the key was a counterfeit, he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by Emperor Chu.
The three of them arrived at Secret Chamber without anyone noticing, opened it with the jade key, and walked in.
There is a small world inside, not Grotto-Heaven.
Green Vine Demonic Soul became extremely excited, almost manic.
"Master, I sense something good, I seem to like it very much!"
Gu Sheng's eyes lit up and he encouraged Green Vine Demonic Soul to find it.
Green Vine Demonic Soul turned into a stream of light and flew away, followed closely by Gu Sheng.
Following Green Vine Demonic Soul, the two came to a gorgeous world.
The gorgeous world is like a dream, as if you are in another world.
Green Vine Demonic Soul is galloping here, followed closely by Gu Sheng and Prince Chu Xuan, flying through the brilliance.
All around, there are thousands of glowing lights and thousands of auspicious auras.
Exotic flowers and grasses grow everywhere, exuding bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
In the distance, a majestic mountain peak stands. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if there are immortals practicing on it.
"Is this the secret realm of Chu State? It is indeed extraordinary!"
Gu Sheng praised, his eyes shining with excitement.
Prince Chu Xuan was a little absent-minded. He looked at the gorgeous scene in front of him, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
The treasure in this secret realm was the foundation for Chu State's dominance, but now it was about to be given away by Gu Sheng. How could he not feel heartbroken?
Green Vine Demonic Soul stopped in a blaze of glory, pointing excitedly forward:
"Master, that's where I feel the breath of the treasure!"
Gu Sheng and Prince Chu Xuan looked and saw a stone platform in front of them. On the stone platform, a Dragon Pearl was lying there quietly.
Dragon Pearl exudes a strong vitality, as if there is endless vitality flowing in it.
"It's indeed a good thing!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the Dragon Pearl.
At this moment, a powerful forbidden force emerged from around Dragon Pearl, forming an invisible barrier that blocked Gu Sheng's hand.
