Chapter 4 A Gift for Li Wu
Zhang Tang rode his horse at full speed, carrying hundreds of soldiers with him, and hurried to the garrison in Tunliu.

He is afraid!

On the main battlefield, General Meng Ao was already in danger and urgently needed the help of Cheng Jiao's 50,000 troops, so he specially sent him, the deputy general, to supervise.

He never expected that Fan Yuqi, a stupid and brain-dead guy, would threaten Chang'an Jun with rebellion. Isn't this going to cost him and old General Meng Ao's life?

He couldn't help but suspect that it was the old man Lu Buwei's fault. Otherwise, why would he let Cheng Jiao, a young man who knew nothing about military affairs, be in charge of an army of 50,000? Was he there to gain experience or to survive a tribulation?
Cheng Jiao was speechless as he looked at the soldiers confronting each other, as well as Li Wu and Fan Yuqi fighting fiercely.

He had just said so much with the original intention of encouraging the soldiers to kill Fan Yuqi together, but he never expected that they were all in sync with each other and seemed to be ready to listen to whoever wins.

Cheng Jiao saw that Li Wu was having a hard time fighting, so he ordered his younger brothers who were protecting him to come forward and support him.

He stroked the jade ring returned by Li Wu, and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fan Yuqi, who was fighting with great vigor and power.

Chinese subtitles appeared before my eyes.

Character: Fan Yuqi
Bond value: -90/-100
Attribute points gained: 30
He opened his eyes and looked into the distance, seeing the dust raised by Zhang Tang's horse, and knew he could not wait any longer.

Now he has 70 attribute points in his hand, and if he adds them all to himself, with his mediocre skills, even if his internal strength increases greatly, he may not be able to kill Fan Yuqi.

So, he frowned and recited the funny lines in his mind.

"Liwu, my love, it's you!"

Then, he added all forty attribute points to Li Wu’s internal strength.

Character: Li Wu

Internal Force: 150/150 (∞)

Tip: To upgrade the level of a non-host, 100 attribute points are required to break through the Grandmaster level.

Li Wu suddenly found that her internal strength had become much stronger. The world was so clear, and Fan Yuqi's movements were so slow, as if she could easily pierce his throat.

As soon as he thought of this, the tip of the sword had already pierced Fan Yuqi's throat.

She stared at her sword in a daze. The unexpected increase in her internal strength gave her an incredible feeling.

Fan Yuqi's eyes were wide open with anger. He was puzzled. How could Li Wu, who was being suppressed by him in the previous round, seem to see through everything about him in the next round and kill him instantly with one sword!
With resentment and hatred, he fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust. He died with his eyes open, staring fiercely at Cheng Jiao, and died of suffocation.

Cheng Jiao came over, waved his hand to blow the dust created by Fan Yuqi aside, and stroked Li Wu's back with his other hand. He gently blew hot air into Li Wu's ears, making Li Wu's ears turn red.

"Do you like the gift I gave you?"

Li Wu looked at Cheng Jiao in surprise.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Jiao placed his finger between Li Wu's red lips and looked at Li Wu's crystal eyes with a smile.

Li Wu's heart, which was about to calm down, began to beat again, as if it was about to jump out.

"This is our secret, don't tell anyone, okay?"

Li Wu nodded and stood behind Cheng Jiao. Zhang Tang had already walked over.

Cheng Jiao's voice appeared in Li Wu's ears again.

"Get familiar with this power and work hard, so that we can live better in this world. Please."

After saying this, he strode forward to meet Zhang Tang.

Li Wu was stunned and his expression became determined.

"My Lord, I will protect your safety until my death."

The sound was so quiet that only one person could hear it, and he laughed.

When Zhang Tang saw Fan Yuqi being killed by a sword, his face changed several times. He had dealt with Fan Yuqi many times before, so how could he not know Fan Yuqi's strength?

I never thought that Chang'an Jun Chengjiao had such a strong man under his command, who could kill Fan Yuqi with one sword. It was truly terrifying.

Prince Chengjiao hid himself so deeply. Could it be that there was someone else supporting him besides the late Queen Mother Xia Ji? Who could it be?
While Zhang Tang was thinking about something, Cheng Jiao came to greet him with a smile.

"General Zhang Tang, the traitor Fan Yuqi has been killed. The war is urgent, let's talk about it on the way. Cheng Jiao is not familiar with military affairs, I hope the general will organize the soldiers and set off to the battlefield as soon as possible, and don't let General Meng Ao get into danger."

Zhang Tang took a deep look at Cheng Jiao. He was young but experienced in human nature. It was completely different from what he had heard.

He couldn't afford to offend Cheng Jiao, and the war was indeed tense. He didn't dare to delay. Whether Fan Yuqi was wronged was not within his consideration. "I obey your orders. All soldiers listen to my orders, reorganize a little, follow my orders, and set off in an orderly manner to Yaoshan. There must be no mistakes!"

Soon after, the army set out.

Cheng Jiao and Zhang Tang rode on horses, chatting as they walked.

Although he was chatting with Zhang Tang, Cheng Jiao was thinking about his own cards.

There are 30 attribute points left. I also got attribute points from Fan Yuqi. It seems that the bond value can not only be obtained from Li Wu and my younger brother, but also from the villains. Well, of course my enemies are all villains!

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror. Everything I do is just. Big brother is the embodiment of justice!

Cheng Jiao knows human nature. It is difficult for ordinary people to trust or love someone. But it seems easy to make them doubt, get angry, or hate someone.

As the saying goes, it is easier to destroy than to create, but isn’t creation very meaningful?

Li Wu's internal strength has reached its innate limit.

According to Li Wu's own analysis, since Huan Di reached the Grandmaster level very early, his overall strength is currently barely close to that of a top-tier killer.

He can be considered an ordinary grandmaster, a first-rate expert in the martial arts world. If he can master the increased internal strength, he should be able to quickly break through to the grandmaster level and remain stable in the grandmaster realm.

Cheng Jiao immediately understood that Lv.1 is an acquired skill, Lv.2 is an innate skill, and Lv.3 is a master skill.

He did not delve into this further and continued to analyze the information given by Li Wu.

According to Li Wu, the strength in this world is divided into five levels.

Acquired, innate, master, grand master, celestial being.

The acquired and innate qualities only depend on whether one has comprehended the artistic conception. Only if one has comprehended the artistic conception can one be considered a second-rate master in the world.

Grandmaster and grandmaster can be considered to be at the same realm.

However, only by fully mastering the artistic conception, forming one's own combat field, finding and unswervingly walking on one's own path of martial arts, can one be qualified to be called a grandmaster and be ranked among the top masters in the world.

Otherwise, he can only be considered a first-rate master, not among the top ones.

As for the celestial realm above, Li Wu didn't know about it, as she knew very little about her identity.

Cheng Jiao speculated that the young Brother Wei Zhuang should be at the Grandmaster level, and the middle-aged Wei Zhuang had the strength of a top grandmaster.

Well, Li Wu is now equivalent to a young Wei Zhuang.

His sense of security suddenly increased.

Brother Wei Zhuang, I understand those who have reached their ceiling in terms of strength.

"Sir, why didn't you come here and expose Fan Yuqi when I arrived, and kill him together?"

Cheng Jiao perked up after being asked by Zhang Tang out of the blue.

"General, you don't know that Fan Yuqi respects me on the surface, but secretly doesn't let me leave the tent.

Miss Li Wu was the one sent by Prime Minister Lu to 'secretly protect me'. At that time, I was explaining the situation to Miss Li Wu. Miss Li Wu knew me well and was loyal to me, so she informed the general.

Otherwise, I would still be imprisoned by Fan Yuqi, with my life and death uncertain."

Zhang Tang seemed to be thinking about something. He knew that the situation in the court was now turbulent. Lu Buwei was all-powerful, Changping Jun was keeping a low profile, and King Ying Zheng of Qin was about to be crowned and take power. It seemed that Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was now in the vortex of power struggle.

He decided not to ask any more questions. He belonged to the military and it was not appropriate for him to get too involved in the court, as it was extremely dangerous.

"Changan Jun is blessed, I will report it truthfully."

Cheng Jiao bowed.

"Thank you, General. Cheng Jiao almost caused a disaster. I am deeply scared."

Li Wu stood on a tall tree, looking far ahead to prevent any ambush.

As her cultivation level increased, she was able to sense things far away, and she could hear clearly the conversation between Cheng Jiao and Zhang Tang.

Looking at Cheng Jiao, she felt at peace.

The only thing he was worried about now was the battle between Meng Ao and Pang Nuan. If Meng Ao was defeated, Lu Buwei would definitely take the opportunity to attack him. Not only would it be difficult for him to break free from the trap, but the prince would also be in trouble.
Thinking of this, she looked at the gradually changing sky, a trace of sadness appearing in her eyes.
