Chapter 5: Those who follow me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish

At this moment, he felt a profound authority emanating from Liu Xu, not a force, but a sense of being above all things as if they were mere pieces on a chessboard

A head was thrown away, its expression still incredibly arrogant, blood splattering everywhere

Zhou Cang, bring all the medicinal herbs containing abundant spiritual energy, such as ginseng and reishi, back to my chamber!

Despite the deafening cries from behind, Liu Xu remained indifferent, and with a few screams, several guards met their demise

The humble servant humbly greets the lord! Zhou Cang's face radiated with a smile, for a general, it is always preferable to have a lord full of wildness

Hmph! What is there to fear! He is nothing but a useless person now. As long as we take the supplies from the storeroom and hand them over to one of the many princes, we will surely be safe!" A sharp voice rang out again, coming from a eunuch dressed in the attire of a palace servant.

Liu Xu felt a surge of killing intent, but now was not the time; the sword in his hand was not sharp enough. He needed to collect the medicinal herbs infused with spiritual energy from the treasury

Liu Xu had just approached the warehouse when he heard a sharp sound, and his expression turned extremely indifferent, almost lawless. "Dog slave! You truly have a lot of audacity!"

Mother, Uncle Wang met an untimely death, and in the end, it was he himself who caused it

The remaining jewelry, such as gold, is disregarded!

"Third-rate expert? Is that something to be proud of?" Liu Xu said disdainfully

Liu Xu opened his eyes wide, completely discarding the compassion of his past life, the law, and murmured, "In this world, it is survival of the fittest"

Replying to Your Highness the Crown Prince! I do not know!

My lord! Just now, when I killed the guard, your heart hesitated! As a leader, you should not show mercy! Behind you stand the followers who support you!" Zhou Cang raised his broadsword and knelt on one knee, speaking in a low voice.

He must adapt to his current identity; he is Liu Xu, the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty. In order to avoid oppression, he must become someone of higher status.

Zhou Cang felt no fear, his blood boiling within him, for he was a warrior! To die on the battlefield! The horse's saddle wrapped around his corpse, is the most solemn of funerals

This is a magical world! When I opened my eyes again and understood everything, I decided that in this life, I shall live freely; those who follow me shall prosper, and those who oppose me shall perish

Ah!

My lord, I have confirmed that there is no danger inside!" Half a minute later, Zhou Cang walked out and said respectfully

A dozen or so guards had not yet reacted when Chief Steward Wang was already decapitated, and in a state of panic, they quickly begged for mercy

Upon exiting the treasury, Liu Xu did not concern himself with the broken lock. As a person of high status, he naturally had others to handle such trivial matters and inquired about the whereabouts of the treasures within the treasury.

Liu Xu did not refute; instead, he spoke to himself, and the inherent dominance that had been concealed within him gradually surfaced, making his slender figure appear to possess a formidable sense of oppression

From today, I am Liu Xu, and I am also the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty. I shall become the preeminent among men! I will awaken to wield the power of the world and indulge in the embrace of beautiful women! Those who follow me shall prosper, while those who oppose me shall perish

Inflation

Hmm? This king is merciful? Liu Xu was taken aback by Zhou Cang's words; he believed he had been cold-blooded enough just now, so why was it referred to as mercy in Zhou Cang's mouth

Liu Xu said with a cold smile, then turned his body without even glancing at the more than ten guards, allowing Zhou Cang to handle the situation.

Damn it! It seems that the Eastern Palace is going to reward a thorough cleaning!" Looking at the treasure house, which was missing two-thirds of its treasures, Liu Xu said coldly

"My lord, please wait, let me go in first!" As Liu Xu was about to step in, Zhou Cang spoke up to prevent any dangers inside the storeroom

Recently, has anyone entered the treasure? Hearing Meng Bingyu's words, Liu Xu understood that she truly did not know, and casually pointed to a nearby guard to ask.

Sovereign! Being kind-hearted and soft-handed is a great taboo

Spare me, Your Highness! Spare me, I beg you!

Just as Zhou Cang entered, there were no guards to stop him, simply because his strength was sufficient

Silently recalling in my heart, everything that happened in my past life plays out like a movie, the oppression I faced as an orphan

"Hmm! Bingyu, let's go in and take a look together, shall we?" Liu Xu said to Meng Bingyu and Chun Yue, while surveying the guards who were cleaning up the remains.

Ice Feather! Do you know who has used the precious medicine from the treasure?

Meng Bingyu and Chun Yue spoke quickly, their pretty faces filled with panic

Your Highness, spare us! Your Highness, spare us! It is all the instigation of Chief Steward Wang!

Your Highness, how is your injury

Meng Bingyu, who was closely pursuing from behind, saw the ground covered in fresh blood, and let out a panicked scream.

Zhou Cang, with blood dripping from the large knife in his hand, cupped his fists and called out to Liu Xu

My lord

Collect all the medications and place them in a large box. Liu Xu did not examine the specific quantity in detail and instructed Zhou Cang to lift the box and walk outside

It was Zhou Cang who severed the head of Chief Steward Wang with a single stroke, leaving the headless corpse to fall backward.

Ha! A dog that bites its master! How could this king possibly spare it

The guard quickly replied, the panic in his eyes did not escape Liu Xu's gaze, a fleeting coldness flashed in his eyes, "I command you to speak!"

My lord! This humble general requests you to restrain your compassionate heart! Upon entering the treasury, Liu Xu had not yet surveyed his surroundings when Zhou Cang suddenly knelt down on the ground

Hmph! Liu Xu, you are now a useless person! I, as a third-rate master, would not be afraid of you!" Chief Steward Wang was initially taken aback, but ultimately became furious out of shame.

The words are filled with a sense of desolation and slaughter

After listening to Zhou Cang's words, Liu Xu did not refute him. The moment of hesitation was unexpectedly noticed by Zhou Cang, and he closed his eyes

Liu Xu had long since prepared the answer, placing all the blame on the Shenwu Gate

Your Highness, please spare my life! I dare not speak! The guard was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, with cold sweat continuously pouring out.

Alright! You may go down! Send someone to tidy up, I will go in and take a look first!" Seeing that Meng Bingyu still wanted to ask, Liu Xu directly refused.

Quickly ran to Liu Xu's side to check if he was injured

What shocked Meng Bingyu the most was that not only was there no injury on her body, but even the original scars had disappeared

You may wait here! Liu Xu does not insist, as rules can only constrain those who abide by them

Ignoring! After mingling in the Divine Martial Gate for a year, I have also accumulated some precious elixirs

Casually picking up a guard's dagger from the ground, without any concern for the blood on the blade, he swiftly chopped through the iron lock, and the storeroom door swung open

As I walked towards the treasure storehouse, everything was resplendent with gold and jade, and the door of the storehouse was firmly locked with an iron padlock

Remember! No one can enter the storeroom without my orders at the Prince's residence! This is our leverage in aligning with other princes!

The guards standing on either side of the prince's storage room, upon seeing Liu Xu walk away, appeared flustered and quickly knelt down, clearly indicating that the original owner held a high level of prestige

"Your Highness, this servant has not entered the treasure! This servant does not know!" Meng Bingyu replied with confusion

Your Highness, this servant does not dare to, the treasury is of utmost importance to the Eastern Palace, the Emperor has ordered the removal of the royal bloodline, and no one else is allowed to enter
