"Conquer... Wu Zhui?"
Fan Li was a little surprised.
Does that thing still exist?
And, it’s actually a dragon?
While he was thinking wildly, he found that the Queen Mother had already walked in front of him.
"Prime Minister, I heard that you saved His Majesty today? What a great achievement."
"this is nothing……"
Fan Lizheng wanted to say something polite, such as I am his father-in-law, this is what I should do.
But it seems a little inappropriate to say such cheap words in front of the Queen Mother?
The Queen Mother didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "The Prime Minister is worthy of being our most capable minister in Chu. The Ai family has to rely on the Prime Minister to subdue Wu Zui."
"Ah? What does this have to do with me?" Fan Li couldn't help but ask.
The Queen Mother chuckled upon hearing this.
She is at the age where MILFs still retain their charm.
With a burst of laughter, Fan Li even had the thought, "It's a pity that this girl is widowed."
"The Ai family has heard that Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is determined to fight for Wu Zui, and has sent his national advisor Lan Daoxing to Wujiang in person, hoping to lure Wu Zui to become loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
"This man is a master of the Hedao Realm. He is known as the second person in the Ming Dynasty. His strength is only lower than that of Emperor Jiajing."
"Lan Daoxing is also proficient in the secret technique [Fu Luan Qi Ji]. It is said that he can speak for the heavens, and the divine calculations are always accurate."
The Queen Mother sighed quietly.
"The Ai family is really worried. Wu Zhui has just transformed into a dragon and is not yet conscious. What if he is bewitched by Lan Daoxing and goes to the Ming Dynasty..."
Fan Li had no interest in these things.
He is not a master of Hedao realm, let alone fortune-telling tricks like [Fu Luan Qi Ji].
The most important thing is that this is not a task issued by the system, so he is too lazy to meddle.
Fan Li was just about to make an excuse when suddenly there was a 'ding' in his head!
"Publish a new mission: [Mine, mine, all mine]."
"Task description: snatch the great Chu country-protecting dragon Wu Zui and make him loyal to the host."
"Mission reward: Special prop [Stand-in Doll], 1 piece."
"Stand-in doll: It is an external incarnation prop that replicates the host and generates a perfect clone. The clone can be cultivated, and the benefits of cultivation are shared with the host body. The clone's strength improves with the progress of the body's strength."
Damn it!
Fan Li almost salivated.
This prop is awesome!
He immediately remembered a cartoon about migrant workers before time travel. Multiple clones?
The more clones there are, the more effective the training will be.
"Why is the Prime Minister silent? Are you not willing to share your Majesty's worries?" asked the Queen Mother.
Xiang Ning was a little nervous.
She already felt a lot of pressure to subdue Wu Zhui.
Hearing that the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty personally took action, Xiang Ning was even more afraid that Taizu's mythical beast mount would be abducted by other countries!
Although Fan Li only has the strength of the Body Refining Realm, Xiang Ning has inexplicable trust in him.
If Fan Li is with him on this trip, he will definitely be able to bring Black Dragon Wu Zui back to Pengcheng!
"Queen Mother, taking back Wu Zui is a matter of national importance. As the Prime Minister of Chu, I have no shirking responsibility!"
Fan Li's voice was extremely loud and echoed in the main hall of the palace.
"Okay!" The Queen Mother glanced at Fan Li approvingly, but she was puzzled in her heart.
She prepared a lot of rhetoric, and originally planned to go through a fierce debate, forcing Fan Li to be unable to evade.
Unexpectedly, he agreed readily?
"Lan Daoxing is a master of the Hedao stage after all. Eunuch Chen needs to accompany him on this trip to protect His Majesty and the Prime Minister, so that the Ai family can feel completely at ease." The Queen Mother added.
"The old slave accepts the order."
Eunuch Chen answered the conversation very quickly, without giving others a chance to respond.
"This was arranged in advance." Fan Li said in his heart.
After the goal was achieved, the Queen Mother left the sentence "No political interference in the harem" and left with satisfaction.
Fan Li lowered his head and thought.
The system only provides basic information about this world, mainly from Chu State.
Lan Daoxing, the great master of the Ming Dynasty?
He had almost no useful information.
Fan Li still had a few life-sustaining pills in his hand, but he didn't have the appetite to eat them for a while.
"That...xiang father?"
A soft call interrupted Fan Li's thoughts.
"Ah? What for?"
Fan Li looked at the little emperor and found that the guy's cheeks were red and he had a flattering expression.
Xiang Ning was indeed in a very good mood, especially his eyes that were rippling with spring.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiang, for being willing to accompany me to Wujiang."
This was the first time that Xiang Ning thanked Fan Li from the bottom of his heart.
Xiang Ning saw the life-sustaining pill in his hand again and asked curiously: "What did your father-in-law eat? Give me a taste?"
"No!"
The life-sustaining pill is Fan Li's lifeblood, how could it be given to her as a snack?
Seeing Fan Li rejecting him without thinking, Xiang Ning's initial good impression disappeared in an instant.
It's hateful that the traitor is so stingy!
"Retreat!"
Xiang Ning glared at Fan Li fiercely and walked away.
"so gay."
Fan Li only had two words to comment on Xiang Ning's eyes.
With no masculinity at all, Fan Li couldn't understand how the little emperor could have an ancestor who could swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger.
…
…………
On the day of departure, Fan Li never expected it.
The emperor's trip should have been very grand, with flags fluttering and huge crowds of people.
But outside the main entrance of the palace, there were only two people, Xiang Ning and Eunuch Chen.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fan is finally here."
Eunuch Chen was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes, looking very much like a tenant farmer from a small landlord's family.
Xiang Ning dressed up like a young master from a rich family, wearing white clothes and shaking a folding fan in his hand. He was more delicate than masculine.
Especially her pink cheeks and pink lips really made Fan Li suspect that she had put on makeup before going out.
"What are you looking at? Is there something dirty on my face?" Xiang Ning said angrily.
It's not the court now, so she saves herself the trouble of calling her 'brother'.
Of course Fan Li didn't care and just joked: "Your Majesty's face is not dirty, but rather beautiful."
"Huh? Are you serious?!"
Xiang Ning actually looked happy, holding his face with his hands, and the smile almost overflowed from his eyes.
"Damn, what's wrong with you?" Fan Li couldn't help complaining in his mind.
Do you really think this is a compliment to her?
"Ahem! Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's time for us to set off." Eunuch Chen reminded.
Fan Li was curious: "Eunuch Chen, just the three of us are going to subdue Wu Zui? And we also have to face the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty?"
Eunuch Chen smiled and said: "Lan Daoxing is good at formations and mystical arts. Although he sneaked into Wujiang alone, he is not afraid of thousands of troops. No matter how many ordinary soldiers he brings, he will only die."
The ordinary soldiers of Da Chu are at least in the Qi Refining realm, right?
I'm already here at the Body Refining Realm, so what does it matter if I bring a little army with me?
"In addition, the old slave has received information that Lan Daoxing has arrived at the Black Dragon Pool at the source of Wujiang River. We must hurry up." Eunuch Chen said again.
"This old eunuch didn't hold his shit in well." Fan Li said in his heart: "The Great Chu Kingdom is his own territory, and he actually lets outsiders take the lead? There is something fishy about this!"
"Is the Prime Minister afraid?"
Xiang Ning, however, seemed to have discovered a new world and wanted to see Fan Li's jokes.
"An ant is still alive, let alone your father-in-law?" Fan Li glanced at her.
"you……!!!"
Who is not a part-time keyboard warrior these days?
If Fan Li could lose to the little emperor in talking nonsense, then Fan Li's journey through time would have been in vain.
