Of course, there was one more thing to do before that. He summoned the guards in the house to clean up those who had failed to do anything in the face of the enemy's invasion, or even cooperated inside and outside.
At the same time, he generously rewarded the guards who had just fought bravely and improved their positions.
Although he is only one person, this is a world where the strong are respected. No one dares to resist the pressure of his master. Combined with the remaining power of the former Duke and the three women's familiarity with the situation in the house, the Duke soon
The government has undergone a major blood change.
However, after this day of turmoil, the strength of the Duke's Mansion was severely damaged, and the guard force was obviously stretched thin.
Zu An thought for a while and called the guards of the Yu family over. The Yu family was leaderless because of Yu Yanluo's departure, and it was also in chaos during this period.
He is now the nominal husband of Yu Yanluo. As expected, the guards of the Yu family joined his command without any resistance. At the same time, they were very grateful to the county prince for taking them in under such circumstances.
Zu An discovered that Gong Pan was also inside. Due to various chaos some time ago, he led his men to defend the Yu family, experienced several serious conflicts, and suffered serious injuries himself.
After these days of contact, he knew Gong Pan's loyalty, but he did not appoint him as the captain of the bodyguard again, because after all, he was considered an old man from the "former dynasty", and his identity would be exposed sooner or later, and he had to promote his close relatives.
, when there is a real showdown in the future, those people must surround him because of their own interests.
Therefore, he promoted a mid-level guard who performed bravely this time as the new captain of the guard, and allowed him to practice various secrets in the Duke's Palace at will to improve his own strength.
The guard named Guan Wu never expected that he would be entrusted with such an important task by the Duke. His voice trembled with excitement and he swore to be loyal to the Duke and defend the Duke's Mansion to the death.
Although many others were jealous, he was at the forefront of the chaos this time and was seriously injured, so everyone admired him. In addition, the prince had the power of the previous battle, and no one dared to say no?
After arranging all this smoothly, he left it to his men to clean up the messy Duke's Mansion. He took the three girls back to the room. Although two guards were arranged for them to guard them, in this world, even if he is weak, he cannot suppress it.
place.
But in order to reassure Duke Yunzhong, whether it was Liu Ji and Chu Ji sent by Yu Yanluo, or Zhang Ji sent by Jian Taiding, they all deliberately chose people with average cultivation.
So this time Zu An wanted to help them improve their cultivation. After this incident, the three women naturally understood the importance of personal strength.
However, Zhang Ji still understood the subtext of his words: "My lord, do you want to leave?"
"I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. Of course I will announce to the outside world that I am in seclusion. You just need to know the truth." After all, these are the prince's bedfellows, and I may not be able to hide it from them if I use the excuse of seclusion.
"Ah, we have to leave." Not to mention Zhang Ji, even Chu Ji and Liu Ji were a little reluctant to leave. Although they knew that he was a fake, they felt particularly at ease with him by their side.
"So we must seize the time to improve your cultivation." Zu An comforted.
"But how can it be so easy to improve one's cultivation level during the journey of cultivation?" Zhang Ji sat aside, her two straight long legs pressed together in a very ladylike manner and tilted slightly sideways, with a very troubled expression.
"Yes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet your expectations in a short period of time." Chu Ji stood at the window, the sunlight filtered through her clothes, and her waistline was really graceful and soft.
"Hey, if I had known this, we should have practiced earlier." Liu Ji stroked her chest, causing a watery tremor due to her movements.
Zu An said: "Under normal circumstances, it does take many years of hard training, but I have a way to improve your cultivation level in a short period of time, but this may affect your ability to reach the peak in the future."
Zhang Ji pursed her lips and smiled: "The Duke is really joking. We don't need to be at the top. We are thankful that we can be ordinary masters and have the ability to protect ourselves. And as long as the Duke reaches the top, it will be better for us."
Is it different?"
Liu Ji and Chu Ji also agreed. They knew that although their qualifications were better than ordinary people, they were not peerless geniuses. Naturally, they did not expect to achieve much in their practice.
Zu An nodded: "In that case, let's get started. You guys will do your best by my side."
Then he instructs the three women on the basic knowledge of meditation and breathing, and then quickly reaches out with his fingers and points on each of the three women's major acupoints, using his own cultivation to open up the meridians needed for the movement of their vitality.
With his current status as a master, it is not difficult to do all this.
Then he instilled vitality into everyone's body. This method of improvement is simple and crude, but generally no practitioner is willing to do this, because it is too draining for the practitioner, and no one is willing to work hard to practice.
His energy is cheaper than others.
What's more, it doesn't mean how much energy you transfer, how much energy others can absorb, and it often ends in a dead end, so no one does such a thankless thing.
But Zu An is different. He has the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique. He just dealt with the masters who came to make trouble and sucked up their cultivation almost instantly.
In his current state, the cultivation of these people is of little use to him, but it can be used to teach the three women the skills.
A few hours passed, and the three women's heads were steaming with heat, and their bodies were dripping with sweat, and their clothes were even wet.
The process of being washed away by vitality and marrow was very painful for a while, and very comfortable for a while. At first, they were worried about disturbing Zu An, so they gritted their teeth and endured it, but later on, no one knew who started it, and soon there was a groaning sound.
One after another.
Zu An's energy and blood were already boiling due to his luck, but then the various fragrances on the three women's bodies were stimulated by the heat, and combined with the greasy sounds in their throats, it almost made him feel uneasy.
After finally finishing teaching the skills to the girls, he quickly said: "You are now almost at the first stage of the sixth grade. Of course, your true combat power is incomparable to that of the real sixth grade, but you also have a certain ability to protect yourself. In addition, what happens next?
During this time, I will have people prepare various combat skills for you to practice. You are all smart people, so you should be able to master them in a short time. I will go back to my room to rest first."
Seeing him hunched over slightly and left in embarrassment, Chu Ji and Liu Ji looked at each other, their faces a little red.
Zhang Ji was a little confused: "Sisters, why do you feel like the Duke is hiding from us?"
Originally, they were a bit jealous and had a bad relationship, but during the recent troubled times, they realized that we actually share weal and woe, and faced all kinds of hardships together. The thoughts of fighting in the early days have faded away, and the relationship has become stronger.
Quite harmonious.
"Maybe because he is a gentleman." Of course Chu Ji and Liu Ji knew what was going on, but unfortunately they couldn't tell her the truth.
"Gentleman?" Zhang Ji felt strange, why would they use such words to describe their husbands?
She thought for a moment, then quietly approached the two girls and asked in a low voice: "Sisters, do you think the Duke is a little different from before?" Chu Ji and Liu Ji's hearts skipped a beat, and they thought she had already seen it.
There was some flaw, and his face was full of worry: "What's the difference?"
"It's just that..." Zhang Ji's face turned red, and she looked around with a guilty conscience. After making sure that there were no outsiders, she lowered her voice and said, "It's just that the Duke is much more powerful now than before."
Chu Ji and Liu Ji were reminded of some pictures in their minds by her words, and their hearts beat wildly: "Maybe... maybe the Duke's cultivation level has improved recently."
"Really? I didn't see anything like this after the former Duke's cultivation level was improved." Zhang Ji was a little confused.
"You're all sweaty. Go back and take a shower, then meditate and refine your skills. Don't waste your hard work." Chu Ji and Liu Ji were worried that she would reveal her secrets if she continued to delve deeper, so they left with guilty consciences.
"Weird~" Zhang Ji muttered, but soon she didn't know what to think of, and her expression suddenly became a little crazy.
Let's talk about Zu An returning to his room to exercise his energy and regulate his breathing, finally calming down his surging Qi and blood. He kept reminding himself that a gentleman should not take advantage of others' danger. He pretended to be a county prince before to find out the truth for him and avenge him. Now he can no longer do it.
I have done something sorry for the county magistrate.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then a beautiful figure pushed the door in.
"Liu Ji?" Seeing the trembling feeling when walking, Zu An couldn't help but think of Da Manman. Unfortunately, he couldn't see her for a long time.
"My lord, you have worked hard just now. This is the cordyceps, wolfberry, scallops and pigeon soup that I specially made to replenish your body." As Liu Ji spoke, she placed a cup of fragrant soup in front of him.
Zu An looked weird. He was already very angry, so he still took such supplementary food?
However, it was hard to reject the hospitality, and he didn't want to hurt others' good intentions, so he picked it up and tasted it. Not to mention that it tasted really delicious. After coming back all the way, he was really hungry.
I don’t know if Yan Xuehen has eaten anything...
When he was wandering in his thoughts, Liu Ji's voice pulled him back: "My lord, has your wife successfully returned to the Snake Clan?"
Zu An nodded: "Yes, everything is safe over there..."
Then he told her about the situation of the Snake Clan.
Noticing that he yawned from time to time, Liu Ji came behind him and said, "Let me massage your head."
"Uh, this is not good."
"What's wrong? I used to do this to the county magistrate, but it's a pity..."
Seeing her tearful look, Zu An couldn't say anything. Besides, he was really tired from traveling all the way, so he stopped refusing.
The other party's fingers were very gentle and his techniques were very considerate and thoughtful. Zu An slowly closed his eyes.
Liu Ji noticed that he tensed his neck and couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Relax~"
Being pulled by her hand, his head fell into a warm and soft place. He opened his eyes and his desire stopped.
Liu Ji said softly: "My lord, this is your home, don't treat yourself like an outsider."
Zu An was in a daze, was her words implying something?
