Chu Mingjing thought back to what the Emperor had said to him today. His face was burning with pain.

"The Monarch only said one sentence. Home country is equally important!" This sentence almost made Chu Mingjing lose face, especially when everyone looked at him.

Yes, so what if you, Duke Chu, is strong? The home tutor was not strict enough, what was the use?

Every time he thought of those faces, Chu Mingjing's expression would turn ugly. He really wanted to slap Jun Li and her daughter to death.

Of course he couldn't. She had to at least give face to Chu Mu You, who had entered the palace. She couldn't touch the mother and daughter pair.

"General!" A voice brought Chu Mingjing back to reality and his eyes fell back onto the chess board. His' Blackie 'had already been completely surrounded by the other party's Whiteys. He had lost miserably!

"My chess skills are going downhill!" Chu Ming shook his head and stood up.

The middle-aged man opposite him wore a gentle smile on his face, "Duke, you are thinking too much. The country is the biggest family, and the home is the smallest country. The country is ruled by the Mu Family."

When Chu Mingjing heard his words, his body froze and his mind immediately cleared up. That's right! Why hadn't he thought it through?

"Lin Xuan, come in."

A young man in black clothes came into the room. It was the general who wore the white armor from before.

"Lin Xuan, send this list to the third wife." Chu Mingjing pulled out a list from his desk and handed it to Lin Xuan. The latter took the list and left the study.

Chu Mingjing's expression returned to normal as he turned to the scholar and said, "Mister Xiao, how about we do another round?"

The Confucian Scholar raised his head to look at Chu Mingjing and said, "Alright!"

Then, the two of them began to play chess because Chu Mingjing had already decided that he was on par with Mr. Shao. The victor was yet to be decided even when night fell.

It was only when it was very late at night that Chu Mingjing and Huang Guangming finally put down their chess pieces and stood up.

"Mr. Huang has excellent chess skills, I admire it." Chu Mingjing let out a light breath and cupped his hands towards Huang Guangming.

"Duke, we will draw today, how about we fight tomorrow?" He shook his head, a gentle smile on his face.

"Alright." Chu Ming was the head of the scenic spot. He had known Huang Zongming for a long time and knew of his mysterious identity. This time, he had come to settle some matters in the capital, which was why he stayed in his residence.

"In that case, I'll head back to the courtyard first." Huang Guangming cupped his hands together and said to Chu Jingjing.

Chu Mingjing immediately shouted towards the door, "Jin Xuan, send Mister Zhen back to the courtyard."

Lin Xuan immediately entered the study and sent Huang Xuan and Huang Ming off.

From this day onwards, Jun Li and Chu Mu were grounded. The inner court host of Duke Chu's mansion was changed to Third Wife Ling Shan.

When the third wife came up, she immediately started to clean up the Chu Clan's inner courtyard. As for Chu Moxi, she was neither warm nor cold. It was as if the Mo Xi Pavilion did not exist.

Chu Moxi was lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun. Towards the third wife's big movements, her face was filled with a sneer. If no one had given her permission, then this third wife wouldn't have dared to so blatantly eliminate the first wife's people.

As for the person she was looking for, Chu Moxi didn't even need to think to know whose one it was.

"It's really getting more and more lively!" The fact that the warehouse was stolen must be exposed! " Chu Moxi's face held a hint of interest. How would Duke Chu respond?

At this time, Lian'er just came out of her room. Lian'er's cultivation talent was really strong, and this Ice Clear Technique seemed to be specially made for her.

"Lian, you broke through?" A fifth rank Spiritual Scholar. It had only been three days and Lian'er's talent was much better than his.

"It's boss' technique." Lian'er had a bashful smile on her face. In her heart, Chu Moxi was her reborn parents.

"Your talent is good." Slowly getting up, Chu Moxi unsheathed the light purple sword from her waist and carefully held it, afraid that it would break. Only when she saw this sword would Chu Moxi console herself that he would come back to retrieve it.

Lian'er carefully stood behind Chu Moxi to protect her. Whenever her boss looked at the sword, the grief in his eyes would pierce her eyes.

All she could do was wait.

The sound of the sword breaking through the air rang out, and the snow in the surroundings followed Chu Moxi's sword, moving like swimming dragons. However, unlike Shang Chen, Chu Moxi's swimming dragon gave off a very soft feeling, and as she stepped on the snow, the sword flew out, leaving no traces on the snow. Even Lian'er was standing there staring at her boss's sword technique with infatuation, as if she could see the joy and sorrow in her boss's heart from the sound of it.

Chu Moxi seemed to be immersed in her own emotions. The sword technique she unleashed actually carried her emotions with it, and also released her emotions.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The terrifying sword Qi had directly cut the hundred-year-old tree in the middle of Mo Xi's courtyard in half. Even a hole had been blasted through the wall of Mo Xi's pavilion.

Only then did Chu Moxi slowly put away her sword. Carefully stroking it, she kept it in the painting.

"Boss, you're so awesome!" Lian'er looked at her young miss with a face full of admiration. Since when had her young lady practiced sword arts?

"Compared to him, we're far behind! Lian'er, with such a big commotion, someone will definitely come over to take a look. You should know what to do. " Glancing at Lian'er, Chu Moxi explained. Right now was not the time to expose herself. Moreover, there were many experts here. Even if the experts from the Duke Chu Residence wanted to kill her, it would be a piece of cake.

If it weren't for the fact that their responsibility was to Duke Chu's safety, she would have been discovered long ago.

Chu Moxi recalled that when she released her sword technique's power, there was actually a very strong pressure sweeping over. Although it wasn't as strong as the freezing person, it was still stronger than her by more than one or two points.

Fortunately, she retracted her sword quickly, allowing her to escape this calamity.

"Hey, what's going on? Was that the power that was so strong just now clearly released from that place? Why is there no one else? " In the corridor of the Duke's Courtyard, Mu Zongming was talking to himself as he stared in the direction of Mo Xi Court.

"What happened to Mr. Huang?" Duke Lin Xuan, who was in front of him, ordered him to send off Mister Huang. When he suddenly saw Huang Xuan stop and mutter to himself, he asked with some doubt.

"Just now, there was a terrifying amount of Sword Qi sent over. It disappeared too fast, I wonder which expert it was …" Huang Guangming glanced at Lin Xuan and explained with a smile.

"Over there?" That was the most remote backyard. How could there be such terrifying sword Qi? "Mr. Huang, why don't we go take a look?" Within Duke Chu's mansion, as long as there was even a slight possibility that the Duke was in danger, Fang Xuan would need to investigate.

"Mm. Alright." Huang Xuan was actually quite curious, but after all this was the territory of someone else, and he had only come here to temporarily be a guest, it was not appropriate for him to barge in. But Yan Xuan was different, not only was he a general under Duke Chu's command, he was also Duke Chu's personal bodyguard for more than ten years.

With that, the two of them began to walk in the direction of the Mo Xi Pavilion. Because of the light source, they directly arrived at the Mo Xi Pavilion.
