Chu Wuming soon came to the study, and the two sat opposite each other. Xiao Chen first told Chu Wuming the truth about the situation that Zhang Qi and the others knew. After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming asked, "What does Brother Xiao Chen plan to do?"
He didn't express his own opinion. Instead, he asked for Xiao Chen's opinion. After spending so much time with Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming had unknowingly begun to follow Xiao Chen's lead. Almost everything, as long as Xiao Chen proposed it, Chu Wuming wouldn't refuse.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen said calmly.
"First, subdue the Mountain Suppressing Army, then slowly plan."
Xiao Chen directly expressed his thoughts. According to the current situation, Xiao Chen also knew that the four border cities of Hulao Pass, Zhenshan City, Weiyuan City, Baiyan City, and Iron Armor City, all had an army guarding them.
Among these four armies, the Mountain Suppressing Army of Zhenshan City was Xiao Chen's first target.
Not to mention that they were now in Zhenshan City, according to the information that Zhang Qi and the others had gathered over the past few days, the Mountain Suppressing Army's commander-in-chief, Zhao Feng, was the easiest person to subdue.
Zhao Feng was actually a soldier through and through. He only knew how to follow orders and had a stubborn personality. Although he looked stubborn at first glance, such people often didn't have any schemes and were easier to subdue.
Xiao Chen planned to start with the Mountain Suppressing Army first. Chu Wuming didn't have any objections to this. However, subduing the Mountain Suppressing Army of 300,000 people wasn't something that could be done overnight. Moreover, Xiao Chen didn't plan to find Zhao Feng directly.
If he wanted to subdue the Mountain Suppressing Army, he needed to do it bit by bit. Only by starting with Zhao Feng's subordinates could he guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
He didn't hide anything from Chu Wuming. After listening to Xiao Chen's plan, Chu Wuming's eyes lit up. According to Xiao Chen's plan, there was indeed hope of subduing the Mountain Suppression Army.
After planning with Chu Wuming for an entire night, Xiao Chen personally sent Chu Wuming out of the study and said calmly, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about these things. You just need to show up when needed."
Xiao Chen was in charge of the entire plan. Chu Wuming only needed to convince Zhao Feng at the end. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming nodded slightly, but his expression was complicated as he looked at Xiao Chen.
"Brother Xiao Chen, I've been wondering about something for the past two days."
"Your Highness, please ask."
"Brother Xiao Chen has great ambitions. I know that Brother Xiao won't stay in the Moonless Empire for long. I also know that compared to Brother Xiao, I'm far inferior in terms of talent, strength, and temperament. Although I know that Brother Xiao Chen doesn't think much of this small Moonless Empire, I still want to ask if Brother Xiao has ever thought of changing the name of the Moonless Empire?"
The longer Chu Wuming interacted with Xiao Chen, the more he understood how terrifying Xiao Chen was. This Xiao Chen was a person without any flaws. With Xiao Chen's ability and the Burning Sky Ruler behind him, it was actually a very simple matter if Xiao Chen wanted to replace the imperial family. However, as a member of the imperial family, Chu Wuming couldn't just watch as Xiao Chen forced the Chu Family into a desperate situation. Therefore, he had been thinking about this question for the past few days. If Xiao Chen really had wild ambitions, then he would be the one who led the wolf into the house.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen paused for a moment. He knew that Chu Wuming was starting to fear him. However, Xiao Chen soon burst into laughter.
His laughter was filled with heroic spirit as he looked at the distant horizon. Xiao Chen laughed.
"Haha, Your Highness, do you know how big this world is? Although there are some things that I can't tell Your Highness, this Xiao can assure Your Highness that I have no intention of fighting for power. To be honest, the Moonless Empire is too small in this Xiao's eyes. How could this Xiao give up the entire world for this insignificant place? Therefore, Your Highness can rest assured that this Xiao has no intention of fighting for anything. The reason why I'm doing my best to help Your Highness is because Your Highness has done me a favor. Regarding the matter of the Fifth Prince, Your Highness didn't abandon this Xiao. This Xiao is very touched. Secondly, this Xiao really needs Your Highness to be in power because this Xiao has some relatives who will need to stay in the Moonless Empire in the future. They need Your Highness to take care of them. "
Chu Wuming was afraid that Xiao Chen would overthrow the Imperial Family. However, this was something that Xiao Chen had never thought about. The Moonless Empire, hehe, to be honest, Xiao Chen really didn't care about it. Xiao Chen came to the Tianhe Continent to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. As such, how could a small Moonless Empire enter his eyes?
From Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming heard a strong sense of contempt. This was the contempt of the Moonless Empire. However, it was precisely because of this contempt that Chu Wuming's heart was relieved.
Since he looked down on the Moonless Empire from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't do anything to fight for power. With a relieved smile on his face, Chu Wuming cupped his hands and said to Xiao Chen.
"This Palace understands. I hope Brother Xiao Chen won't blame me. In the future, if Brother Xiao Chen wants to command me, this Palace will do my best."
It could be said that he had completely let down his guard against Xiao Chen. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Xiao Chen also smiled and said, "This Xiao doesn't need Your Highness to do anything for me. I only need Your Highness to help me take care of some relatives and friends in the future."
Xiao Chen didn't tell Chu Wuming that he came from the Tianchen Continent. This was something that Xiao Chen wouldn't tell anyone. However, Xiao Chen did tell Chu Wuming that he needed him to take care of some of his relatives and friends in the future.
It could be considered an open conversation. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chu Wuming solemnly nodded his head in response. Soon after, he walked away.
After watching Chu Wuming leave, the smile on Xiao Chen's face slowly disappeared. Since he had already determined his target, Xiao Chen also planned to take action. Taking the initiative to subdue the Mountain Suppressing Army meant that Chu Wuming would be able to gain a firm foothold in Hulao Pass sooner.
"Senior Zhang Qi," Xiao Chen softly called out. Following his voice, Zhang Qi appeared in front of Xiao Chen out of thin air.
Looking at Zhang Qi, Xiao Chen's expression was calm as he said, "You can begin. Act according to the plan."
"Yes, Young Master," Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhang Qi respectfully replied.
After grasping the situation of the Mountain Suppressing Army, Xiao Chen formulated a perfect plan. Today, the plan began to be implemented.
That night, a Sound Transmission Talisman was secretly sent back to the Imperial City's Heavenly Stellar Residence. After receiving the Sound Transmission Talisman, Sikong Ming immediately began to act.
In order to subdue the Mountain Suppressing Army, the most crucial point was that he needed the help of one person in the Imperial City. No one would have thought that this person was the Fifth Prince's mother, the current Imperial Concubine Qu.
After receiving Xiao Chen's message, Sikong Ming began to act according to Xiao Chen's instructions. Facing Xiao Chen's instructions, the difficulty of the task wasn't very high. With Sikong Ming's methods, it was very easy to complete.
