Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot-Chapter 329 - 306: Two Powerful Weapons

In the evening, autumn rain pattered gently.

Treasure Piggy was playfully feeding three wolf pups in the room.

The big wolf got a bite, then the piggy took a bite.

The second wolf got a bite, then the piggy took a bite.

The third wolf got a bite, then the piggy took another bite.

After stealing dog food and cat food, Bao Shu was now snatching wolf food. Truly, she was the ultimate food-snatching little piggy!

Ever since her son called her "Mother," Liu Qingyun never avoided her son again. Wherever her son was, there she was.

She didn’t do anything else, just stared at her son.

Her son was so handsome, no doubt her own flesh and blood!

"Son..."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes: "You’ve said it a hundred times already."

Finally escaping the old man, he thought he could get some peace and quiet. If he had known Liu Qingyun would cling to him like this, he might as well have stayed on the mountain fighting with the old man.

Meng Qianqian stifled her laughter.

Lu Yuan: "Meng Xiaojiu, are you gloating?"

"No." Meng Qianqian suppressed the corners of her mouth, forcing herself to think of a hundred sad things until she managed to fake a pained expression. "I was thinking about Ji Li."

Quick, change the topic!

Lu Yuan’s face darkened: "You’re thinking about another man right in front of me?"

Meng Qianqian shivered involuntarily.

Blurting out unfiltered thoughts would surely get her killed!

"I was thinking about where Ji Li could’ve gone. You know his fate—cursed with five misfortunes and three deficiencies. I’m just worried he might bring even more bad luck!"

Thankfully, she covered it up. Clever as always!

Bai Yuwei and Tan’er were teasing the wolf pups nearby.

Hearing Meng Qianqian’s words, Bai Yuwei muttered, "Shouldn’t it be others who are doomed?"

The memory of being struck by lightning last time was still fresh in her mind!

Tan’er sighed, "He’ll be fine for sure, but who knows if he’ll drag others into trouble!"

Meng Qianqian had only spoken casually, but hearing Bai Yuwei and Tan’er’s comments, she suddenly began to genuinely feel worried for the people in the forest.

Tan’er continued, "The Princess hasn’t returned either. Aren’t you worried about her?"

"Princess, come back already! I want to eat red-braised pork!"

Hearing Tan’er mention Princess Wanping, Meng Qianqian’s lips twitched uneasily.

Counting her troublesome apprentice, the forest now had two major walking disasters—

Those two better not run into each other. If they did, she didn’t dare imagine the consequences.

Soon after, Meng Qianqian shook her head.

What were the odds of such a coincidence in the world?

Besides, the forest was vast, and the two had gone in completely different directions. The chances of them crossing paths were slim to none.

Giving her chest a reassuring pat, Meng Qianqian exhaled deeply: "It’s fine, it’s fine. They won’t bump into each other."

In the depths of the hunting grounds, Princess Wanping encountered a raging black bear. Coincidentally, it was the same one Xun Liu had lured to attack Bai Yuwei.

Due to some drugs used, the black bear was exceedingly ferocious. Chang Kuan, protecting Princess Wanping, took a claw strike to his chest, large chunks of flesh torn off.

At the critical moment, Ji Li arrived, dazzlingly stylish, bringing the bear down in one stunning move.

Princess Wanping studied him with admiration: "You seem more reliable than the other Twelve Guards. With Chang Kuan injured, would you be willing to guard me for a few days until I successfully hunt the tiger with striped eyes?"

Ji Li snapped open his folding fan with a flourish: "Princess, you have sharp eyes! Naturally, this Commander Guard is far superior! However, I’m not someone so easily recruited."

Princess Wanping: "Name your price."

Ji Li held up five fingers. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Princess Wanping: "Five thousand taels?"

Ji Li shook his head.

"Fifty thousand?" Princess Wanping thought for a moment. "That’s not impossible."

Ji Li dramatically flipped his hair and stated with overwhelming confidence: "Five copper coins."

Princess Wanping: "..."

Ji Li’s martial skills far surpassed Chang Kuan’s. If she could venture with just Chang Kuan to hunt a striped-eye tiger, this was even better.

Ji Li quickly summoned two Imperial Guards to escort the injured Chang Kuan back to camp.

Shortly after, the two walking disasters charged deeper into the dense forest together.

Within the forest, three large military forces had already set up battle formations, each prepared to eliminate the other two sides at any moment.

The pair stood atop a large tree, surveying the opponent’s mountain ridge.

Ji Li remarked, "Princess, the mountain ridge is surrounded. If we rush in, we’ll be easily discovered. Based on my wartime experience following Chu Grand Marshal, we should use one force against another."

Princess Wanping pondered, "Use one force against another?"

Ji Li elaborated with confidence, "First, align with the strongest force to help eliminate the other two. Then, we kill that force’s leader to take full control—or incite infighting. When their forces fall into chaos, that’s when we strike and hunt the tiger!"

Princess Wanping nodded in agreement. "Good plan!"

The two reached a perfect understanding with a quick clap.

Among the three forces, in terms of individual martial prowess, the Jinyi Guards were superior. For battlefield expertise, the Imperial Guard excelled. However, neither could compete with the sheer overwhelming numbers of the Forbidden Army.

So the pair joined the Forbidden Army.

The thought of a princess enlisting in the army was unprecedented!

Could the Forbidden Army say no?

Of course not!

Moments later, the entire Forbidden Army was incapacitated by Princess Wanping’s poisoned mushroom stew.

Princess Wanping: "It wasn’t the Princess who picked those mushrooms."

The Forbidden Army commander was on the verge of tears: "But could Your Highness please not randomly add ingredients?!"

With nearly thirty percent downed by food poisoning, vomiting and bedridden, who could they complain to?

Terrified of keeping her in camp any longer, the Forbidden Army sent her away despite the risks of offending the Princess.

The other two military forces, upon learning of the Princess’s intention to join, immediately pretended to play dead, unwilling to accept her "enlistment."

Princess Wanping was fuming.

Ji Li, however, remarked, "Princess, this is great news."

Princess Wanping: "How so?"

Ji Li smiled slyly: "Since they’re pretending to play dead, we can boldly enter the mountains without resistance."

Princess Wanping frowned slightly in contemplation. "If they wouldn’t have stopped us anyway, then why did we go through all that trouble just now?"

Ji Li: Everyone was happily being a fool; why’d you suddenly have to get smart?

Ministry of Justice.

Chen Long and Sheep were still held in their respective cells.

Late at night, as silence enveloped the air, a flying dart suddenly shot into Chen Long’s cell, embedding itself into the hard wall with a note attached.

Chen Long pulled out the dart, unfolding the note to see eight bold characters: "The Lord’s orders—kill Lu Yuan."

Chen Long destroyed the note, stood, and shattered the copper lock on his cell with a single palm strike. His expression remained cold and detached as he stepped out.

The guards rushing to intervene were effortlessly subdued, falling one by one.

Entering the armory, he retrieved his Azure Dragon Sword.

"Where are you going?"

As he left the Ministry of Justice, a voice called out from the side.

Chen Long stopped, turning his gaze toward Si Snake.

Si Snake stood against the wall, bathed in the pale moonlight that cast a frigid glow on his shoulders, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"It’s none of your business," Chen Long said.

Si Snake calmly replied, "If you’re going to kill Lu Yuan, I suggest you think carefully."

Chen Long didn’t respond, striding resolutely into the night.

Si Snake spoke once more: "Do you truly believe the Prime Minister holds the last bloodline of the Shang Family?"
