Upon entering this time, the room was as messy as the last, with torn clothing fragments scattered all over the floor and bed.
Chu Chen said with a wry smile, "Old God of War, the beauties I gave you are all delicate and tender. You must cherish them."
The Old God of War waved his hand upon hearing this, "Prime Minister Chu, what are you talking about? Of course, I cherish the people you gave me."
"You say these things, it's all because the beauties requested it themselves."
Chu Chen smiled wryly and shook his head, naturally not taking the Old God of War's words seriously.
"Old God of War, hurry up and tidy yourself up, recover, we have something to do and need to depart."
The Old God of War, Huo Qing, looked confused.
"Prime Minister Chu, what is it? Why the rush? I've never seen you so flustered before."
Chu Chen's face turned serious as he said, "To save His Majesty."
The Old God of War's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"To save His Majesty, no way, just the two of us?"
The Old God of War rubbed his forehead, "Prime Minister Chu, are you not awake? Let alone the two of us, even if all the experts in Yun Yue Kingdom were gathered, we still wouldn't have the strength."
"Wei Kingdom, and other countries, if they want to deal with the Empress, how could they not have experts to suppress them? This is not something we can get involved in."
"That's right, just the two of us, and right now."
Chu Chen said with great certainty.
The Old God of War sized Chu Chen up, looking confused, "Chu Chen, what's wrong with you? You don't seem like your usual self. Could you have gone mad?"
Chu Chen immediately replied with a wry smile, "Old God of War, what are you joking about? Believe me, I am truly confident this time that I can save her, and there's only one chance. Come with me."
Upon hearing this, the Old God of War hesitated for a moment, then pulled on his pants from the bed and prepared to leave.
"Old God of War, wait, no need to rush. Cultivate for a while and recover your vital energy, lest you be useless when the time comes."
The Old God of War, Huo Qing, became somewhat exasperated, "Who told you I would be useless? I'm very strong now, I can even fight the enemy head-on. It's just that if the opponent's combat power far exceeds mine, then there's nothing I can do."
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Old God of War, don't worry. The person I want you to deal with is not the one fighting the Empress, but the one who will deal with me. As for the Empress, I will save her myself."
The Old God of War sized Chu Chen up, feeling increasingly strange.
"Prime Minister Chu, did you eat too much? You can't even protect yourself, yet you want to save the Empress?"
The Old God of War stood up and examined Chu Chen from head to toe, trying to find what was wrong with him.
He looked left and right but found nothing particularly unusual. "Could it be a cultivation mishap?"
Chu Chen chuckled, "Old God of War, get ready. We'll depart in half an hour."
Half an hour later, the two of them set off together in a carriage. Chu Chen took out the Everlasting Lamp to observe it.
At this time, the Everlasting Lamp was shining brightly, in its best condition.
"What is this? It's so bright, we don't need candles at home anymore."
The Old God of War asked curiously.
"This is the Empress's Life Lamp. If this lamp extinguishes, it signifies the Empress's death."
"Empress's Life Lamp?" The Old God of War took the Everlasting Lamp with astonishment, examined it carefully, and then returned it to Chu Chen.
"With this lamp, we have a direction to find the Empress. There's no need to rush now. This lamp looks normal, with no signs of any accidents."
Chu Chen, however, shook his head and said, "It will take us some time to reach Wei Kingdom. Who knows what will happen on the way? Let's not be too optimistic."
The Old God of War shook his head with a wry smile, "What optimistic thoughts can there be? Even if we arrive, the two of us combined are not even as good as a finger of the Empress. If the Empress is helpless, what can we do?"
Chu Chen smiled upon hearing this, not revealing his secret to the Old God of War.
The fewer people who knew about such things, the better. If it weren't for the fact that the Old God of War had earned his trust to a certain extent, and that he absolutely needed the Old God of War's protection on this trip, he truly wouldn't dare to bring the Old God of War along.
The carriage continued to move forward. The Old God of War continued to cultivate and recover his strength, while Chu Chen practiced in his mind how to act upon arrival.
The pills were already in his pocket, ready to be taken at any time. However, would the Empress follow him then?
If the Empress truly wanted to die, would he be able to hold her back?
Never mind, he wouldn't think about it for now. In any case, he had done his best. If the Empress really didn't want to live, he couldn't do anything about it.
The carriage traveled for a day and a night. Both Chu Chen and the Old God of War were in good condition. They were both strong individuals, and even without rest for a day and a night, their condition remained excellent, even better than before they set off.
At this level of cultivation, not resting would not affect them at all.
During this period, the Old God of War twice wanted Chu Chen to practice movement techniques with him, but Chu Chen stopped him.
In Chu Chen's opinion, since the Everlasting Lamp had not shown any problems, it meant the Empress was in good condition and at least safe, so there was no need to rush to her rescue.
The Empress was powerful. Even if something happened, she wouldn't die instantly, right?
"Pfft, pfft!"
Just as Chu Chen was feeling worried, suddenly, two sounds of sharp objects piercing flesh came from in front of the carriage. The two coachmen who were taking turns driving fell to the ground without even a sound.
Chu Chen immediately became alert, stopped the Old God of War, and then jumped out of the carriage himself to assess the situation.
Both coachmen had died from throwing knives. Although the knives were not sharp, their force was extremely powerful, as if they had been shot from a distance.
Chu Chen immediately cursed, "Who the hell dares to cause trouble here? Come out and die."
A moment later, a sound came from afar, a sound so powerful that even Chu Chen could feel the abundant spiritual energy contained within it.
"Chu Chen, you brat, you're quite bold to be traveling alone in a carriage. Did you really think our Xiongnu's pursuit of you would end just like that?"
The figure in the distance rapidly approached Chu Chen, followed by another person. This person seemed less powerful than the first, but was still not to be underestimated, being slightly superior to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen couldn't help but frown. Wasn't that Jin Lun from last time?
He didn't expect this brat to come back again, and he even brought an expert with him.
"Jin Lun, do you have to kill me? If you want to be an official, you can come to my Yun Yue Kingdom. I will give you the highest honor and official position, and you can have as many Yun Yue Kingdom resources as you want."
Chu Chen's words made Jin Lun laugh heartily, clutching his stomach.
