Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chu Hongfei, with Lu Shuyun and several dozen followers, walked for over two hours before they finally reached the mouth of the cave.

As they were about to reach the exit, they heard the whooshing sound of the sea at the entrance of the cave. Lu Shuyun's heart leaped with joy, as he hadn't expected Chu Hongfei to actually lead them to escape.

It was great, as long as he could get to Qi Country, he'd have a chance for a comeback.

Before long, they had left the cave, and by the time they emerged from the underground, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Looking at the vast ocean before him, Lu Shuyun's ambition reignited in his heart.

At that moment, Chu Hongfei spoke up, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, we should hurry on our way. We are not far from Sufeng City, and if the Imperial Army realizes you have escaped, they might send someone to look for us here."

After hearing Chu Hongfei's voice, Lu Shuyun snapped back to reality and immediately signalled to a master at his side with a glance.

Now that they had escaped, Chu Hongfei was no longer of use.

The master understood Lu Shuyun's intent instantly, drew his sword, and thrust it through Chu Hongfei's chest.

Chu Hongfei suddenly felt a chill on his back, followed by waves of intense pain. He spat out a mouthful of blood, then looked down in disbelief at the sword blade sticking out of his chest.

Soon after, he glared at Lu Shuyun with eyes full of unwillingness and said, "Your Highness... you..."

Before Chu Hongfei could finish his sentence, the Grandmaster protecting Lu Shuyun kicked him off the cliff and into the sea.

Having dealt with Chu Hongfei, Lu Shuyun was also preparing to leave when suddenly a man's voice came from behind him, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Chu Hongfei, after all, helped us escape. Is it really appropriate to kill him like this?"

"Isn't this a bit too ungrateful?"

"If Your Highness treats your own subordinates like this, always biting the hand that feeds, who will dare to follow Your Highness in the future?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected anyone to speak to him this way. He immediately turned his head to see that his followers had surrounded someone.

The person they had surrounded was none other than Liang Zong, who had always helped him amass wealth.

Lu Shuyun thought that after he got to Qi Country, he would definitely need to accumulate some money to bribe court officials and couldn't rely solely on his Uncle, which is why he had brought Liang Zong along.

But now, unexpectedly, Liang Zong, this slave, dared to speak to his master in such a manner.

Lu Shuyun asked coldly, "Liang Zong, do you know to whom you are speaking?"

Hearing this, Liang Zong simply smiled and then said, "Of course, I'm talking to a rebel leader now."

Seeing Liang Zong actually referring to himself as a rebel leader, Lu Shuyun was instantly enraged and declared, "Since you're seeking death, then I shall grant it!"

With that, Lu Shuyun said to a master nearby, "Kill him!"

In Lu Shuyun's eyes, Liang Zong was nothing more than an ordinary person skilled at making money, no different from squashing an ant.

Upon hearing Lu Shuyun's command, the Grandmaster at his side immediately took action, swinging his sword at Liang Zong's head.

Just when everyone thought Liang Zong's head was about to fall, all of a sudden, Liang Zong pulled out a soft sword strapped to his waist and swiftly beheaded the master who had attacked him.

Seeing the bloody scene unfold before him, Lu Shuyun was dumbfounded. His protector, a Grandmaster, was so easily killed.

How could this be???

Lu Shuyun looked incredulously at Liang Zong, "You... you actually know martial arts!"

Lu Shuyun had always thought Liang Zong was an ordinary person; he hadn't expected that Liang Zong could easily kill a master.

To be able to strike so swiftly, so fast that even a master couldn't react, Liang Zong's strength must be at least at the Master Level or above.

Fear instantly filled Lu Shuyun's heart.

A 'normal' person by his side for so many years, now displaying Master Level strength—what did that imply?

It suggested that this person had always been lurking by his side for some purpose, and now that his rebellion had failed, and he only had a few dozen followers left, Liang Zong's sudden revelation of his strength meant that he was about to make a move against him.

At this time, Liang Zong said with a smile, "Crown Prince, I never said I couldn't perform martial arts, it's you who always assumed I couldn't."

Lu Shuyun involuntarily took a step back, "You... who exactly are you?"

Liang Zong smiled and said, "Someone to send off His Highness, the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Lu Shuyun hurriedly said to his followers, "Kill him! Kill him for me!"

As soon as Lu Shuyun's command fell, the crowd took action.

With a flick of Liang Zong's soft sword and a series of clanging sounds, his attackers were swiftly dealt with.

Seeing this, Lu Shuyun knew his followers were no match for Liang Zong. He turned and ran, hoping to have his remaining followers delay Liang Zong for a while.

Unfortunately, his followers did not buy Lu Shuyun much time. Before Lu Shuyun had gone far, Liang Zong had already killed all of his followers.

Seeing Lu Shuyun running away, Liang Zong smiled faintly, kicked a stone with force, and it flew straight towards Lu Shuyun, knocking him to the ground.
