Chapter 70: Tiger Wolf Pill

yang's heart. Although he had promptly buried the group from the Bai family in a windswept and desolate wasteland and even took care of a scout sent by the Bai family on their way back, preventing inf..."Ding, complete the Battlefield Ten Thousand Enemy mission, slay 523 Raitai Cavalry, reward with a white crystal inner armor, reward with a Broken Blood Sword, reward with fifty Tiger Wolf Pills."

After parting ways with He Houde in the city, Zhang Liyang led Yuan Li and several others back to Xue Lin Manor.

Because Mu Yinghua was handling official business at the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Liyang didn't go to disturb her. After washing up and removing the dust and bloodstains from his body, he returned to his room to check his mission rewards.

A piece of white crystal inner armor, woven from a transparent material as thin as a cicada's wing. Zhang Liyang tried it himself, and even with 80% of his strength, he couldn't tear it apart.

Here we go!

Cold light flashed in the room, a razor-sharp sword was drawn from its sheath, and the biting wind sent shivers down everyone's spine, instantly dropping the temperature in the room by several degrees.

"What a great knife!"

This seemingly ordinary blood-stained sword is unexpectedly sharp. It only takes a light glide to cut off a corner of the table without any effort at all.

Originally, Zhang Liyang was considering taking the Blood-Breaking Sword to test Bai Jing's inner armor. In the end, he abandoned this impulsive idea.

Putting those two items away, Zhang Liyang looked at the last reward: Hu Lang Dan!

For the Tiger-Wolf Pill, the system also provided an explanation: "It is a pill used by ancient imperial dynasties to cultivate elite warriors. Consuming it allows one to possess the strength, courage, and spirit of a tiger or wolf!"

Hiss~

Upon seeing the system's explanation, Zhang Liyang himself couldn't help but gasp.

Looking at the dark pill in his hand, Zhang Liyang couldn't help swallowing nervously and whispering softly, "With this pill, it means heaven is on my side!"

In his mind, Zhang Liyang had already imagined a scene where behind him were hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who had taken the Tiger Wolf Pill. With a wave of his hand, he could obliterate his enemies.

Although Tiger and Wolf Pills cannot achieve this result with just one pill, it doesn't stop Zhang Liyang from fantasizing. After all, he already has some Tiger and Wolf Pills, which means he will be able to continue obtaining them in future missions.

Zhang Liyang carefully put away the Tiger and Wolf Pill, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Although this mission did not yield any pills that could improve his cultivation, Zhang Liyang felt he was not at a loss. Especially with the appearance of the Tiger and Wolf Pill, Zhang Liyang felt more confident about his ultimate goal.

“Since heaven is on my side, I can’t be polite.” Restoring his inner peace, Zhang Liyang sat alone in the room, pondering. “To take that step, relying solely on me and Mu Yinghua is impossible. We need to find someone.”

Knock, knock, knock....

A rhythmic thumping sound echoed in the room. Those familiar with Zhang Liyang knew this was an unconscious action he took when deep in thought.

The knocking continued until late afternoon when it was finally interrupted, "My lord, the young master is back."

"Okay, I'm going there now."

Before Zhang Liyang even entered the living room, Mu Yinghua ran out. When she saw Zhang Liyang, her eyes lit up immediately. "Zhang Liyang, you're back!"

Looking at the still breathtakingly beautiful person, Zhang Liyang's heart warmed. "Your Highness, I'm back."

Although they were master and servant, in reality they were more like friends, especially when there was no one else around in the hall. Between Zhang Liyang and Mu Yinghua, there were no restrictions of a master and servant relationship.

On two chairs, the two sat there. Mu Yinghua chirped and chattered, telling Zhang Liyang about recent events. Although Zhang Liyang had already heard it once from He Houde, he still sat quietly and listened. He would occasionally interject with words of praise for Mu Yinghua's actions, making Mu Yinghua look like a child being praised by their parents, her face filled with pride and excitement.

After talking for more than two hours, Mu Yinghua finally stopped, her words still brimming with unfulfilled desire. “What about you Tell me what happened to you this past while.”

"There's nothing here, just a little scuffle with Ci Lai over there. But don't worry your Highness, I won!"

"Haha...."

Zhang Liyang didn't talk about the bloody battles on the battlefield. Instead, he chose to tell other stories, such as how he tricked those stubborn cavalrymen, which made Mu Yinghua burst into laughter.

In the hall, laughter echoed continuously until it gradually subsided towards the later half of the night.

Because she had to continue handling government affairs the next day, Mu Yinghua only went to rest after Zhang Liyang's repeated persuasion. After returning to his room, Zhang Liyang took out a piece of paper and began to write.

He wrote seven or eight pages full, but Zhang Liyang looked at it himself and frowned, as if he felt something was wrong. He directly shattered all of them and started writing again. Afterwards, Zhang Liyang kept writing and revising until almost dawn before finally stopping.

On the desk, there was only one piece of paper with words written on it. The content wasn't much, but Zhang Liyang nodded in satisfaction and then carefully placed it into an envelope.

"Yuan Li, I need to step out for a bit. If the prince asks for me, tell him I'll be back this afternoon."

After greeting Yuan Li, Zhang Linyang led two warhorses out of the city alone.

Riding constantly, Zhang Liyang arrived at Liangzhou City just after noon. Without alarming anyone, he entered an ordinary tavern and showed the innkeeper a token.

"Greetings, Lord!"

In a private room of the winehouse, the proprietor bowed deeply to Zhang Liyang.

"Hmm." He nodded and then took an envelope from his bosom, "Deliver this to our ancestor as quickly as possible!"

Cai Ning's assassination and coma, He Houdé reported the matter four days ago, given the time it takes for letters to travel, it is estimated that in another three to four days the matter will reach Daqian Imperial City, so Zhang Liyang has to hurry.

Having received the envelope with both hands, the innkeeper carefully tucked it away in his bosom. "Rest assured, sir," he said, "this letter will surely be on the ancestor's desk in two days!"

"Good."

Zhang Liyang's face seemed calm, but his heart was shockingly surprised.

This place is very far from the imperial city. I took half a month to walk here when I first came to Liangzhou City, but now this spy from the Heiyu Mansion says he can deliver the letter to the imperial city within two days. It just goes to show how powerful the Heiyu Mansion is.

This is the person Zhang Liyang was looking for, Feng Zheng, the grand eunuch from the Imperial Palace!

Zhang Liyang, with no foundation whatsoever, pondered and contemplated. The only one who might be able to realize his ambitions was Feng Zheng, this venerable ancestor. As for whether Feng Zheng would lend a hand, it all depended on whether the letter Zhang Liyang wrote could persuade him.

Leaving the wine shop, Zhang Liyang did not linger and returned to Feilong City in the evening.

Next, Zhang Liyang had to do was wait, wait for the decision from the imperial city!As soon as this was said, everyone in the room's eyes lit up. Only Zhang Liyang had a black line on his face, because the person who came up with this idea wasn't someone else, but Xiao Xiao!"Yeah, we...
