Chapter 212: He Needs Her Help Again
Chu Tiankuo looked at Wei Feng, whose face was covered with a beard, obscuring his original appearance.
Wei Feng was the Heir Apparent of the Marquis Yongchang’s Residence. Back then, he and Imperial Older Sister were deeply in love and were about to get married. However, unexpectedly, Imperial Older Sister was forced to marry into Zhao.
For the past seven years, he had given up his position as Heir Apparent and went to Zhao to do business, aiming to stay close to his beloved, not letting her be alone in a foreign land.
Chu Tiankuo’s business in Zhao was managed by Wei Feng.
Chu Tiankuo even knew that Wei Feng had repeatedly sneaked into the Zhao Kingdom Imperial Palace, almost losing his life, all for the sake of rescuing Imperial Older Sister.
Even now, he couldn’t wait for a moment, eager to rescue her immediately.
Chu Tiankuo had also been looking forward to rescuing Imperial Older Sister all these years.
But to ambush and rescue her alone with five thousand soldiers in Jiangdu City was too dangerous!
Jiangdu City was surrounded by Qi Xiong Mountain, notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. In preparation for attacking Zhao in the past, he had explored the terrain of Qi Xiong Mountain and the formations set up by ancient formation masters many times, but he hadn’t figured them out. Now, there were still many Zhao soldiers stationed there. For Wei Feng to go and rescue her with five thousand soldiers, that wasn’t rescuing, it was sending them to their deaths!
Imperial Older Sister would be back soon, it wouldn’t be a few days difference. Chu Tiankuo naturally couldn’t let Wei Feng go to his death in vain.
“No, the Qi Xiong Mountain leading to Jiangdu City has complex terrain and is guarded by ancient formations. If you rush in, you’re going to die. Moreover, Imperial Older Sister has contributed a lot to Chu and sacrificed too much. I want her to return to her homeland with honor! Just wait for another ten days.”
Over the past seven years, he had come a long way, setting up the game step by step.
He wanted Imperial Older Sister’s sacrifice to be rewarded. She should return to Chu with honor and be respected by the people!
He wanted Imperial Older Sister to be recorded in history, admired by the world!
How could Wei Feng wait?
He saw that her hands and feet were shackled with iron chains!
How could someone as noble as her suffer such humiliation?
He couldn’t bear for her to suffer another day of humiliation.
“I know a shortcut through Qi Xiong Mountain. That path is unknown, the Zhao soldiers don’t know about it, guaranteed to be able to retreat safely.” He had been in Zhao for seven years, and these seven years were not in vain.
In order to rescue Eldest Princess, he could be said to have tried every means and found every way out.
Not long ago, he saved someone, and in order to help him escape, he coincidentally learned about a shortcut.
Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo looked at him with surging eyes: “How do you know that shortcut?”
Wei Feng briefly explained: “That person is the Heir Apparent of Prince Qi of Zhao. Back then, when Emperor Taizu of Qi conquered the world, he discovered it by accident. He didn’t report it to the court, nor did he reveal it, leaving it as a way out for future generations.”
Prince Qi of Zhao was a prince with a different surname, and Emperor Taizu was a great hero who founded the country. After the Zhao emperor ascended the throne, he stripped him of his title as a feudal prince and executed the entire family of Prince Qi for treason.
However, the Heir Apparent of Prince Qi had luckily escaped because he secretly went out to have a tryst with his beloved. For the past twenty years, the Zhao court had been pursuing the Heir Apparent of Prince Qi.
The Heir Apparent of Prince Qi recently failed in his attempt to assassinate the Heir Apparent of Zhao with an arrow and was rescued by Wei Feng in Qi Xiong Mountain. He led Wei Feng to escape the formations through the small path.
Only then did Wei Feng learn that there was a shortcut.
“The Heir Apparent of Prince Qi still has a thousand private soldiers.”
If Prince Qi had any descendants left, they would definitely hate the Zhao emperor to the bone.
Chu Tiankuo immediately made a decision: “Take me to see that secret path. I want to take Jiangdu City first!”
As long as they captured Jiangdu City, this easily defensible city, in the future, if Zhao wanted to invade Chu again, with Qi Xiong Mountain as a natural barrier, it would be ten times, a hundred times more difficult!
Moreover, after capturing Jiangdu City and occupying Qi Xiong Mountain, the remaining Jiangzhong City and Jiangxi City would be like turtles in a jar!
Wei Feng’s eyes lit up: “Yes!”
He had long wanted to avenge Eldest Princess!
He wished he could destroy the Zhao emperor!
Chu Tiankuo waved his hand: “Go and draw a map for me. I’ll make some preparations.”

Hearing this, Wei Feng immediately went down to prepare.
After he left, Chu Tiankuo walked to his desk and wrote a letter to Xingnong.
He needed her help again this time.
He had a way to rescue his Imperial Older Sister in advance, but to ensure her safety, he planned to use the two interconnected spirit orb spaces to send her back to Futai County in advance, to stay on the mountaintop temporarily.
For the battle at Qi Xiong Mountain, he also needed Xingnong and Old Master Tang’s help.
The greatest significance of formations was to be able to win with fewer troops and minimize casualties.
Therefore, he needed her help. If he had the ability, he had to do his best to ensure the safety of Chu’s soldiers!
Chu Tiankuo wrote a letter and placed it in the space.

Peach Blossom Village
Xingnong was rearranging the formations in the courtyard. In the past few days, she had finally gathered the materials needed for setting up the formations. This time, she believed she could succeed.
It was planting fruit trees, planting vegetables, arranging stones, digging pits.
The small courtyard was constantly being rearranged by her.
At this moment, Xingnong and the Jin Kingdom Emperor were planting trees.
Shen Hanyu was paving a path with cobblestones, and he had to strictly follow the pattern given by Xingnong!
While Shen Dong and Shen Nan were digging pits.
Shen Dong asked Shen Nan in a low voice: “Is Princess’s formation very powerful?”
Actually, he wanted to ask if Princess really understood formations. Planting fruit trees in the middle of winter to set up formations, these fruit trees wouldn’t survive, could this formation work?
However, he was afraid of being overheard by the emperor and the Third Prince, so he didn’t dare, only daring to ask if Princess’s formations were really powerful.
According to the information he had found, Princess had only studied with Old Master Tang of Chu for a few months, not even half a year, right?
To be very powerful after studying formations for half a year? Even the most talented genius couldn’t do that, right?
Shen Nan responded with an expressionless “Hmm, she won against the talented Princess of Zhao.”
Shen Dong then understood. Although the Princess of Zhao was called a talented formation master, that was because their Jin Kingdom’s true talented formation master hadn’t gone to compete yet. The Princess of Zhao’s level was just a talented formation master in name only!
Princess’s formations were about the same level as the Princess of Zhao’s.
It was said that this year, their Jin Kingdom’s talented Princess would also participate in the formation master competition. At that time, the world would know what a true talented young lady was!
Thinking of something, Shen Dong asked in a low voice again: “Will Princess participate in the Youth Formation Master Competition?”
“Hmm.” Shen Nan stepped on the shovel, and the whole shovel plunged into the soil. With a forceful push, he dug out a large shovelful of mud.
Hearing this, Shen Dong couldn’t help but think that when Princess acknowledged her ancestry and returned to the clan, one Princess and one Princess would participate in the Youth Formation Master Competition. Their Jin Kingdom’s Youth Formation Master Competition this time would definitely be dazzling!
However, thinking of something, he frowned again. With Princess and Princess participating in the formation master competition at the same time, if Princess won, would Princess feel embarrassed and unhappy? If Princess was unhappy, the emperor would be unhappy!
He thought of a way to redeem himself, which was to ask Old Master Guo to accept Princess as his disciple and guide her in formations!
Princess would definitely be happy!
Of course, he couldn’t invite him on his own, but if Master or the emperor spoke, Old Master Guo wouldn’t dare to refuse!
Best wishes to all the students taking the college entrance exam, may you achieve success and fulfill your aspirations!!!
