Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 171 Ghost Master

Cao Qian stopped on his horse at the entrance to the academy. He looked at the carriage beside him and said coldly, "I don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to come here, but please don't interfere with our mission. After all, the Grand Princess has asked us to seize the academy tonight."

Fu Zichan, dressed in black and wearing a mask, has disguised himself as the guardian of the Moon Worship Sect and is sitting in the carriage. This time, the Moon Worship Sect is cooperating with the eldest prince to seize some information from Qian Qiansui, as well as something hidden in the academy that Fu Zichan and his weird men are looking forward to.

Qian Qiansui's business was growing bigger and bigger. In addition to the paper and books on the surface, some refined technologies were also hidden in it. Fu Zichan spent a lot of effort to vaguely discover that Qian Qiansui should have some connection with the largest shipyard in Taozhou. He had begun to suspect whether Qian Qiansui already had someone capable of building ships under his command.

"Don't worry, it won't affect the general's work."

The carriage quickly drove into the forest, and the group of men in black dispersed silently like ghosts, leaving only Cao Qian and his guards.

"It's weird. I don't know where His Royal Highness the Prince found these people from." The deputy general had been dissatisfied for a long time. Seeing these people retreat, he couldn't help but say to Cao Qian.

"Don't pay attention to them. Her Highness the Princess only wants us to cooperate. We don't need to obey their orders. Besides, looking at their state, they are obviously some gangsters. They are useless until the gate is broken."

Cao drove his horse forward and looked at the circle of walls that were obviously abnormally high, frowning. He had previously felt that it was unnecessary to bring a siege vehicle, but the bronze door of the academy, the gray surface, and the high walls with no foothold at all made him feel tricky. How could a good academy be made to look like a city?

"General, I brought some people here to check out the area before and found that this academy is built on a cliff. The wall surrounds the entire academy. There used to be a back door to enter, but now it's sealed. If we want to get in, we can only climb the cliff, except for attacking from the front."

The engineering vehicle was brought in at the deputy general's suggestion.

"I don't believe that entering from the front, a small academy, no matter how powerful it is, can be thicker than the city gate at the border back then? The worst that can happen is that we can smash their academy door." Cao Qian didn't take the academy seriously at all.

Sitting on the cart amidst the trees, Fu Zichan watched as Cao Qian's men began to assemble the slightly smaller siege vehicle. Glancing at the high wall, he said to someone beside him, "Master Ghost, are you sure you want to go ahead? I think it's better to wait until they break through the academy's gate before you go in."

A mass of black cloth made it almost impossible to see the human figure. The man laughed strangely and said, "No need, no need. Wait for them to go in. Who knows, the people inside might get frightened and the child will come out."

"There are so many pregnant women outside, why is Ghost Master only interested in her? He even came here specially for her." Fu Zichan knew that Qian Qiansui was very strange, but Ghost Master was good at medicine, and he couldn't think of anything else related to Qian Qiansui.

"This woman has an extraordinary fate, and her child is no ordinary one either. I'll steal her away and then dissect the child alive. It's a top-grade medicinal ingredient, hahahahaha."

The creepy laughter made even Fu Zichan clench his fists hidden in his sleeves uncomfortably.

"That woman has many people with special skills around her, so Ghost Master should be more careful."

"Humph, no one in this world can escape my unique fragrance. I'm just a marquis' wife. How can I compare with the imperial palace? I can even use the son of the previous emperor to make medicine, so what does this mean?"

After saying that, the ghost teacher fell silent. Looking again, he really disappeared without a trace like a ghost. He must have headed towards the academy.

Fu Zichan tried to endure it again and again, but finally couldn't help but throw a cup on the blanket.

These people in the martial arts world have no respect for hierarchy and are wild and rude. If he didn't need them, he would have killed them all long ago. But now he still needs these brainless idiots to be the knives in his hands.

"People from Panshi Academy, His Majesty has issued an order. Why don't you quickly open the gates and come out to receive it?"

There was silence in the academy, and no one responded.

Cao Qian had expected this to happen, so he simply stopped talking and said, "Go, knock on the door. If there's no one, we'll try the main door with a baton."

Several guards went over and knocked on the door very rudely, but even in such a quiet environment in the deep mountains, the sound like hammering drums did not elicit any response.

It was as if this academy was an empty city with no one in it.

An inexplicable cold wind blew by, completely unrelated to summer, making people feel frightened for no reason.

"Since you dare to disobey my order, don't blame me for being rude." It was just an excuse. Cao Qian waved his hand, and the guards who had been prepared nearby lifted up the baton on the ground and rushed towards the gate.

Qian Qiansui's yard was at the back of the academy. Unless someone reported it to her, she would not be able to hear what was happening in the front yard. She had just taken a bowl of Miss Awu's secret painkiller and then lay on the bed feeling wave after wave of contractions. It was slightly painful but bearable.

Seeing Qian Qiansui lying on the bed, and still wanting Yin Zhu to read the picture book to her, except for Qian Ma who had experience, everyone else was very nervous. Even A Wu sat next to him and asked about Qian Qiansui's condition from time to time.

The window moved slightly, and a smell like incense came in. Qian Qiansui immediately became alert and said, "Something's wrong, Awu!"

Ah Wu also smelled the odor at the same time. She immediately stood up, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, and without explaining anything, she put the medicine directly under the nose of the people in the room. Qian Qiansui knew that he was immune to all poisons, so he simply stuffed the medicine to Yin Zhu beside him. However, the other little girls who did not have time to take the medicine all fainted very quickly.

"Wow! There are still so many people who haven't slept yet. I'm really impressed." A black mass sneaked in at some point without even alarming Les and Sang Biao outside. Qian Qiansui was worried, as these two furry kids were probably fainted.

"You...where did you get this fragrance?!"

Unexpectedly, Awu, who originally didn't like dealing with outsiders and who always spoke softly and sweetly, would actually scold others so angrily.

Qian Qiansui also wanted to know the inside story, but she was too heavy to bear, so she could only lie on the bed and watch the show.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, what did I find? Little Awu from the Five Immortals Sect?" The pitch-black thing slid over like a ghost, scaring the maids in the room so much that they all hid aside. Nanny Qian even sat next to Qian Qiansui, protecting him with her arms.

Ah Wu put her hand into her purse and looked at this strange man whose movements were surprisingly familiar.

"Long time no see, Brother Liang."
