Chapter 171 The Greatest Wisdom in the World
Wu Muyou's pupils contracted, and he gripped the scepter tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the effort.
His manipulation technique failed!
A crack appeared on his calm, expressionless face.
Wu Muyou stared in the direction where Zhai Rongyu had disappeared, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
This woman, Long Yan, must be eliminated!
Otherwise, it will be a major threat to Nansang!
The soldiers extinguished the fire in the military camp.
Wu Muyou extended his left hand, and the serpent on the scepter readily coiled around his wrist, curled up, and opened its mouth to spit out a bright red tongue.
He bent down and picked up a corner of the cloak that had not yet burned out in the fire, and placed the spirit snake on it.
The slender serpentine body meandered across the black robe, its scales shimmering like a flowing silver river.
The amber snake's eyes narrowed slightly, marking the scent it had detected.
"Go, find her."
At Wu Muyou's command, the spirit snake disappeared into the grass and vanished into the boundless night.
Upon seeing this, Hu Lieyunxiao's sharp face turned disdainful.
"Didn't the Great Wizard just say that spirit gu are precious, and a mere woman is not worthy of using them?"
Wu Muyou glanced at him indifferently.
"General Hu Lie uses the spirit gu for matters between men and women; I use the spirit gu for Nan Sang."
"Ha, the great wizard truly cares about his country."
Hu Lieyunxiao curled his lips coldly, suppressing the fleeting sarcasm in his eyes, and strolled back to his tent.
He removed his armor, took a sip of strong liquor, and sat down on the bed.
As soon as he lay down, several red ropes appeared out of nowhere and tightly bound his limbs.
Hu Lieyunxiao was shocked!
Just as he was about to call out to the soldiers, several red ropes wrapped around his mouth, silencing the words he was about to utter.
"Ugh! Uh-huh!"
The strong, tough man was trapped in the formation and unable to move.
This is an illusion array set up for him by Zhai Rongyu.
Hu Lieyunxiao twisted his limbs, but the red ropes multiplied like vines, wrapping around him from all directions, binding his chest, waist, and legs, eventually binding him in place like a twisted rope, unable to move.
Hu Lieyunxiao was sweating profusely with anxiety.
In the midst of the chaos, a woman suddenly appeared at the corner of the bed. She didn't look particularly special, but her face shape looked strangely familiar—somewhat like a horse.
This was the return gift that Zhai Rongyu gave him.
A person who loves horses to death, and a white horse that is popular and anthropomorphized.
The woman pinched her throat, but a loud and clear howl burst forth from it.
"General~~~~~"
Hu Lieyunxiao's soul trembled.
Ignoring his resistance, the woman threw herself into his arms, leaning against his broad chest and gently pounding it.
"I've finally waited for you~"
Hu Lieyunxiao was filled with horror, shaking his head and struggling frantically, sweat splattering from his forehead.
"Ugh! (Get lost!)"
"Ugh! (Get away!)"
The horse-faced woman lifted her head from his chest, blinking wildly and sending him flirtatious glances.
"General~ I am Ah Bai~"
"Does the general not recognize me?" she asked, looking at her tearful and heartbroken appearance.
But this face felt strangely familiar.
It looks just like his beloved horse.
Hu Lieyunxiao's eyes were bloodshot, his heart burning with rage, and he opened his mouth and bit down hard on the red rope!
The image of Zhai Rongyu's smile blooming amidst the flames immediately came to mind.
Hu Lieyun's chest heaved with a fierce and imposing air.
How dare she insult his Zhao Yebai in such a way!
It's male!!!

Zhai Rong returned to the military camp.
General Lu waited through the night, and finally the person returned. He rushed forward with a look of joy and delight, "Princess! You're finally back!"
Zhai Rong dismounted and handed the reins to General Lu.
General Lu led the horse over, his face filled with utter shock. "This... isn't this Hu Lie Yunxiao's beloved steed, Zhao Ye Bai?!"
How did the county princess manage to ride his horse back?!
"General Lu also recognizes this horse?"
"Of course!" General Lu nodded emphatically. "Hu Lie Yunxiao takes it with him to every battle; it's a rare and excellent steed!"
"I never expected that the county princess would actually snatch it back!"
General Lu touched Zhao Yebai's face, his affection for her evident in his eyes.
This horse can travel a thousand miles a day and is extremely intelligent.
It's a priceless treasure!
Seeing his undisguised expression, Zhai Rongyu generously said, "Then this 'Night-Shining White' will be given to General Lu."
She doesn't need it anyway.
General Lu was overjoyed. "Is what the county princess said true?!"
Zhai Rongyu nodded with a smile.
"Your subordinate thanks you greatly, Your Highness!"
General Lu happily rubbed his face against Zhao Yebai's, but Zhao Yebai turned his head away in disgust, his nostrils flaring.
General Lu burst into hearty laughter.
He's a wild horse that's hard to tame, and he likes people with tempers!
He glanced behind Zhai Rongyu, finding nothing there, and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What about the grain..."
This white celestial being wasn't carrying anything.
Zhai Rongyu released the Boundless Divine Tortoise from the cloth bag.
It revealed its true form, and with a tremor of its spirit, all the grain carried on its shell fell to the ground.
General Lu stared wide-eyed at the grain that had appeared out of nowhere.
"This, so much?"
He tied the reins of Zhaoyebai to a post and eagerly ran to the pile of military rations to examine it carefully.
You can touch it!
it is true!
Moreover, a large portion of it consisted of the military rations they had previously lost!
General Lu turned to look at Zhai Rongyu, his admiration almost tangible.
Obediently boom!
He didn't witness the scene when the county magistrate delivered grain for the first time.
Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I have to admit I'm impressed!
From this day forward, Lu will follow the county magistrate's every command!
Anyone who dares to question the county magistrate or say a bad word about her will be killed by him with a single stroke!
As the two were talking, a strange noise suddenly came from the bushes.
Zhai Rongyu's eyes suddenly turned cold as he keenly scanned the bushes. The Boundless Divine Turtle understood and immediately roared in that direction, its true form still in motion.
The strange noise stopped abruptly.
Zhai Rongyu lifted her feet lightly, walked to the edge of the grass, squatted down, and parted the crooked weeds.
Inside, a silver snake was curled up like a mosquito coil, trembling.
Zhai Rong grabbed its vital spot and lifted the snake up, saying, "Oh, so that great wizard is trying to launch a sneak attack?"
The silver snake glanced at her and immediately closed its vertical pupils tightly.
It has to play dead!
Thinking this, the snake's body, which had just been coiled and twisted, immediately straightened up, like a hard stick.
Zhai Rongyu looked at it with amusement.
She tilted her head and smiled, her gaze falling on Fucha Xiangming's tent, when a mischievous idea suddenly popped into her head.
Her red lips curved slightly upwards.
She lowered her voice and coaxed the snake, "Little snake, I'm not as heartless as your master."
“You’ve come all this way to find me, in the dead of night and with the dew so heavy, I can’t very well let you go back empty-handed. Otherwise, how would I explain it to your master?”
The serpent opened its eyes a crack and looked at the woman before it, who was as beautiful as a fairy.
Someone as beautiful as her can't be all that bad, right?
She seems to be quite considerate of herself.
As if she could hear its thoughts, Zhai Rongyu said with a look of pity, "I know that your master is obviously a man of extraordinary means... You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"
The serpent flicks its tongue.
“Like this,” Zhai Rongyu pointed to Fucha Xiangming’s tent, “that man is the current leader of the Longyan Army, he’s much more powerful than me!”
"If your master finds out that you've crawled into his body, he'll definitely think you're the smartest person in the world!"
