Chapter 14 Undercurrent Dressed in a red robe, Zhang Gui is the only eunuch in charge who is still walking in the harem. He is extremely powerful and is the sharpest minion under the command of the Purple Robe First Eunuch. This is not just the Purple Robe First Supervisor is the emperor, then Zhang Gui is now the prince. "Do you know how the government and the public are scolding you now?" Su Chen was making tea for Zhang Gui in the courtyard. Zhang Gui stood with his hands behind his back. A year had passed. He was now powerful and full of vigor. He was no longer the cautious eunuch in green robe. Now, a single word from him could decide the life and death of countless people. "It's just dirty talk like castrating a dog." "The one who cursed the most was probably not me, but the current Purple Robe First Supervisor." “But they only dare to curse in their hearts. Outwardly, they still have to respectfully call the First Supervisor, who killed the top-level master of Tianshi Mansion, “Nine Thousand Years Old.” Zhang Gui didn't care at all. He smiled and admired the blooming exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard. This world is ultimately the world of practitioners. There are demons and monsters in troubled times.
Naturally, it is impossible for the emperor to be supreme and make absolute decisions like in a real ordinary dynasty. When the old emperor ascended the throne, he was recognized by all the first-class masters in Tianwu Tower. This new emperor... Ha ha. He is not a reserved and introverted prince, but a useless prince who only knows how to indulge in pleasure. If the old emperor's princes had not died and he was the only one left, it would not have been his turn. "What are you busy with recently?" "Kill people to make elixirs." Su Chen thought he had heard wrongly. "It's killing people to make the elixir." "You know, demons can eat people to extract the thin human spirit contained in the human body and increase their lifespan. I am killing people to make pills now..." Zhang Gui said this with a smile, as if the killing he mentioned was just like killing chickens and dogs. Su Chen's palm stopped, the teacup was soon full, and the boiling hot water overflowed. The air was a little too quiet. a long time. A faint sigh. "Don't tell me this. I'm not interested. It's fine in this library." Xu Xiaohan was indeed more like Su Chen's godson. He did not tell anyone about what happened in the library that night, not even Zhang Gui. In Zhang Gui's eyes, in everyone's eyes, Su Chen was still that useless person who had no talent for cultivation and could only hide in the library. "In this world, the only way out is to practice."
"I said, if I am the first purple robe supervisor, you will be the second red robe supervisor." "Life is but a hundred years long. I can no longer enjoy beauty. Power is right before your eyes, within your reach. As long as you say the word, I can pave the way for you to rise to prominence." "If you can accumulate enough merits, the First Prison will personally open up your meridians and send you on the path of cultivation." Zhang Gui persuaded earnestly. Su Chen remained silent. Since that night, Su Chen knew that this purple-robed First Supervisor might be the strongest among the masters. However, this First Supervisor was already a hundred years old, and he didn't know where he had accumulated such tremendous vitality from. But life span is life span. If his life span does not increase, this purple-robed First Supervisor will pass away within a year. No wonder, after participating in the prince's rebellion, Zhang Gui was able to rise to prominence and reach a height that other eunuchs in charge could not reach. "I'm not afraid to tell you either." "The old emperor invited this First Prisoner to leave the Tianwu Tower on the condition that he refine human blood longevity pills. Come with me and kill people until there is bloodshed. By then, you will have great wealth in your hands..." Hear the words. Su Chen turned the teacup upside down and remained silent. "Think about it." Zhang Gui left. Three miles after walking out of the library, eunuchs carrying a sedan chair came. Zhang Gui's trusted son immediately went forward, hesitating to speak and asking questions. "Tried it." "I don't want power, nor do I want the opportunity to practice." "The entire palace, even the Purple Robe First Eunuch can see through it, but he can't see through me, a friend of an ordinary eunuch. I really don't understand it." "Life is only a hundred years long, and he really doesn't want anything?" Zhang Gui frowned. The trusted son at the side asked hesitantly. "Foster father, should we continue as planned? If the plan fails and we are labeled as traitors, it might affect Eunuch Su..." "conduct!" "The old emperor is dead, so the grudges are over? How is that possible? What I want is for Daliang to be in ruins, for the imperial power to change, and for the Liang royal family to disappear into thin air. I don't care about so much..." Zhang Gui's eyes were filled with madness. … …… "What is Zhang Gui doing?"
In the library, Su Chen called Xu Xiaohan and asked about Zhang Gui's recent situation. Only then did Su Chen realize this with horror. How powerful is Zhang Gui now? Dongchang! The current Shangwu Bureau is almost the same as the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life. Under the title of the First Prison of Purple Robe. The eunuchs of the Shangwu Bureau can draw on the royal guards to carry out their missions, or even the Killing Guards, which are composed entirely of practitioners and stationed outside the city... In the imperial city, Zhang Gui confiscated the property of the family and exterminated the clan. Under the guise of being the First Supervisor of Purple Robes, he framed officials in the court who opposed him and killed many people, causing great wrath among the people and public outrage. Just to refine human blood longevity pills? Su Chen doesn't think so. "Let him be." Su Chen couldn't control it, and there was no way he could control it. after all. In the palace, Zhang Gui is the chief eunuch, and outside, he is the notorious governor of the East Factory (the head of the Shangwu Bureau). Su Chen was just a little eunuch of black color, the lowest level among the eunuchs. "Master Su." "After one year in the palace, you can change into the blue robe eunuch uniform." Xu Xiaohan couldn't help but remind him. "is it?" Su Chen was surprised. soon. A young eunuch brought a brand new green eunuch robe to Su Chen. Eunuch Su Chen, who has been in the palace for a year, finally has a new skin. The blue eunuch robe is decorated with flowers, birds, fish and insects. It is obviously an outfit that only senior eunuchs can wear. Time flies by. In a blink of an eye. Another month has passed. A shocking news spread throughout the palace. The new emperor is getting married. The person he married was the only granddaughter of Marshal Zhenbei.
This kind of marriage obviously has a deeper meaning. It means that Marshal Zhenbei, the leading figure in the army and a top martial artist, stands behind the new emperor and supports him wholeheartedly. For this reason, the new emperor specially conferred the title of king on his father-in-law. It is not surprising that he was awarded the title of king for being a top-rank martial artist. The Marshal of Zhenbei became the King of Zhenbei. The new dynasty, and even the only king of a different surname in the old dynasty. "Master Su, if you ask me, this Zhenbei Marshal is really bold. He actually dared to challenge the First Warden. The First Warden is the best in the world." Xu Xiaohan was chattering in the courtyard. It was because Su Chen's library was too deserted and sparsely populated. Otherwise, if these words got out, he would have been thrown into dungeon the next day. In the library courtyard, Su Chen, who was loosening the soil, had a different opinion. The first supervisor is very old. Marshal Zhenbei is still strong despite his age. He is only seventy years old and has served in three dynasties. Among the top martial artists of the time, he is still in his prime and is particularly good at fighting. Now the First Prisoner is approaching his deathbed. Even with the help of human blood longevity pills, he may not be able to take action a few more times. The human blood longevity pill was created by imitating the demon's cannibalism. The first one can add one year to your life. The further you go, the more the effect decreases exponentially. This first prisoner obviously wasn’t eating it for the first time, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to break the 100-year mark. Another month has passed. The power structure within the palace gradually changed. The new emperor gradually took back his authority, and his say in the deep palace and even in the court became increasingly important. He cultivated his confidants and accepted the loyalty of his ministers. He had some of the demeanor of the old emperor and was beginning to look like an emperor. then. The next day, the emperor died.
