Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish_Creek

Cloud Chasing Pirate Ship flew for over a day and finally reached Surging River. The ship sailed up to the camp at the southern bank.

Lizhou Prefecture had set up a massive military force along the river. The army had linked over two hundred river camps and there were numerous soldiers and horses. When they reached here, a fierce battle had just ended and there were ships rampaging on the river surface. Some ships were already destroyed and thick smoke billowed out from the burning masts and deck.

Corpses floated on the river surface.

There were soldiers scattering fishing nets on the ship, fishing the corpses out. They then hooked the corpses with hooks and hung them at the aft of the ship, intending to bury them after dragging them to shore.

Qin Mu opened his Green Heaven's Eyes and looked towards the opposite shore of the river. There was a dilapidated city on the opposite shore and there were still sporadic fightings because there were still all kinds of rays bursting forth from divine arts.

However, they were only skirmishes. It should be the army of Eternal Peace Empire eradicating the enemies in the city.

Fan Yunxiao slowed down the ship and gradually descended down towards the camp. There was a soldier who flew up to the ship to enquire and when he knew they were the scholars of Imperial College, he immediately waved his flag and made the archers below lower their bow and arrow.

The ship gradually landed in the camp and Fan Yunxiao looked towards the sporadic fightings on the opposite shore with one black eye and one white eye. He then took a glance at Chen Wanyun, Yun Que and the rest before shaking his head, ”Old Brother Qin, these scholars will only hold you back and not be of much help. With a battle of this scale, the few of you scholars are completely no help and it'll be difficult for you guys to survive. I'm leaving, when I find enough black iron and blueprint of the treasure ship, I'll come and find you again!” After he was done, he made the bandits on the boat activate the furnace and flew away.

Yun Que and the rest were demoralized and Chen Wanyun sneered, ”This person's ability isn't bad, but there's a problem with his judgment.”

A general walked over and asked, ”Are you scholars from Imperial College?”

Qin Mu nodded his head and said ”Is Lizhou Prefecture Young Magistrate at the frontlines? May I trouble you to inform her, just tell her River Dyke County Qin Mu request for a meeting.”

That general was astonished and didn't dare to neglect his words as he hurried away.

Not long after, the clanking sounds of armor sounded out and everyone looked towards the source of the sounds. They saw a female general clad in armor walking over with a helmet under her underarm. She had a heroic look and her facial features were also extremely beautiful. Her face powder, eyebrow liner and red lips were unforgettable.

he should have just come back from the battlefield and there were still bloodstains on her body.

”So it's Little Brother Qin Mu.”

Yuyuan Chuyu's gaze fell on Qin Mu and her eyes lighted up, ”The little brother who walked out of River Dyke County a few months ago has made a name for himself. I've heard my elder brother mentioning about you and now you're considered to have stood above others. I'm also happy for you.”

”Big sister, you flatter me.”

Qin Mu blushed with shame and said, ”I didn't tell big sister before that I was actually from Great Ruins.”

Yuyuan Chuyu said, ”When you had left, I was still thinking when there was a Qin Family in River Dyke County which could groom such an outstanding child. My elder brother sent a letter over and mentioned you later, and only then I knew you were from Great Ruins.”

Yun Que, Yue Qinghong and the rest were secretly astonished. Lizhou Prefecture was the place of lodging for all imperial scholars that came out for experience. Never did they expect that Qin Mu was actually well acquainted with Lizhou Prefecture Young Magistrate!

Being the high official of such a place, she was already the commander of the borders. In addition to that, Yuyuan Chuyu had an extraordinary background. She was the princess of Yuyuan Empire back then and the other crown prince of Yuyuan Empire was Yuyuan Chuyu who had become the great general in the capital city.

Qin Mu was clearly the abandoned person of Great Ruins, how did he get affiliated with Yuyuan Chuyu?

”Big Sister Chuyu, what happened to Corpse Immortal Cult?” Qin Mu asked.

”Corpse Immortal Cult has already been eradicated by me but there are still some remnants that have escaped to the southern borders.”

Yuyuan Chuyu brought them to the city walls and said, ”The rebel army from everywhere have already gathered in the southern borders. There are also rebel sects from everywhere. All sorts of forces meet and mingle together here. The troops get stationed in all the cities along the river and are taking strict precaution. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg and the current situation doesn't look good.”

”Tip of the iceberg?” everyone was stunned for a moment.

Yuyuan Chuyu smiled, ”In the world today, do you know who is loyal and who is a traitor? For example me, I'm the princess of the vanquished Yuyuan Empire, how would you know that I would not rebel the next moment?”

Chen Wanyun and the rest broke out in cold sweat, afraid that this heroic looking female general would kill them in the next instant and announce that she would rebel.

Yuyuan Chuyu said indifferently, ”Imperial court's relation to the old generations is too close. Imperial Preceptor wants to create a brand new generation on top of this foundation but all he could use were always the power of the old generation. His new generation could not break free from the influence of the old generation therefore who knows which sect or which official would rebel next?”

Monk Yun Que asked while shivering, ”But Lord Magistrate won't rebel, am I right?”

Yuyuan Chuyu looked at him and gave a bone-chilling smile as she said softly, ”You can make a guess. If you're right, you can not die.”
