Chapter 21 Deputy Manager Xu Xu Xiaohan felt numb all knew that Master Su was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful! These were five third-grade masters, not ordinary martial artists who watched over the house and protected their eyes on the street. How could he kill them all by himself? Could it be that Master Su is a second-grade master? Nineteen-year-old second-rank? How can it be! Godfather Zhang Gui, who was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, had just reached the second-grade Nu Gang realm, which was already a sign of natural genius. This caused an uproar in the world, and countless sects and even the first-grade sects remembered this head of the East Factory deeply. If the news of a nineteen-year-old second-rank official were to spread, the whole world would be in an uproar and all the first-rank officials would gather together. "Am I that amazing?" Looking at the deputy general managers' corpses all over the ground, Su Chen was also surprised. He seldom took action when he stayed in the library. I had always thought that he could just about kill the weaker third-rank soldiers, but he ended up killing five senior third-rank soldiers with one move. Even though they were old and weak, they were still five third-rank soldiers... "Master Su, these are all deputy chief eunuchs of the Imperial Palace. You killed them all. If Emperor Jianwu or the First Supervisor knew about this..." Xu Xiaohan's calves were trembling.
This is going to be a big mess. I'm afraid the entire palace is about to be hit by a major earthquake. He was a third-rank official and the deputy chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace. Each of them was in a high position and had great power. They were not cabbages that could be found everywhere on the street. They would not appear easily. They were all killed at once. "So what if he's the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Palace? It's not like he hasn't killed anyone before." Su Chen said indifferently. But this time we did kill a lot. If it were to explode, he would be in big trouble. Forget about fighting a first-grade fighter now. Even without the Heart-Eating Powder, I'm afraid any second-grade fighter would be able to beat him to a pulp. Thinking of this, Su Chen became a little flustered. He carried the five corpses on his shoulders and ran towards the library. "Master Su." Xu Xiaohan followed jogging all the way. Fortunately, Nanyang County rebelled, and major sects like Xuanyang Sect were also involved. The most elite forces in the palace were all guarding near the imperial study. Su Chen and Xu Xiaohan ran all the way back to the library and were not discovered. Digging the soil and burying the body, all in one go. The five bodies were thrown into the pit and Su Chen buried them with ease. "Master Su..." Xu Xiaohan swallowed hard, looking at the skilled Su Chen and the corpse vaguely exposed in the medicine field, and shuddered. I didn't expect that Mr. Su, who was always low-key, would kill so many people. No wonder the seeds of exotic flowers and herbs from all over the world can all be planted and survive in this medicinal field. After all this time, I found out that the quality of the fertilizer in this medicinal field is so good. "Master Su, I won't tell anyone." "Don't kill me to silence me!"
Xu Xiaohan's knees went weak and he knelt on the ground in fear. "Why would I kill you to silence you?" Su Chen looked at Xu Xiaohan like a fool. a long time. Seeing that Master Su was still the same Master Su, Xu Xiaohan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking. "Master Su, when did you become a second-level rank?" "Second rank?" "I'm only a fourth-rank rank." "I understand! Master Su, you are a fourth-rank." Xu Xiaohan looked as if he understood what Master Su meant, and nodded repeatedly with an ambiguous expression. Su Chen was speechless for a while. He is truly a fourth-grade rank! A second-rank rank could kill five third-rank rank rank instantly. Was it too much for a slightly stronger fourth-rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank to kill five deputy general managers? Su Chen felt that it was not too much at all. that's it. Xu Xiaohan spent the whole night in the library, trembling with fear. Su Chen remained calm and composed. the next day. The palace was in an uproar. The five deputy general managers are missing, alive or dead. Even the dumbest person would know that something must have happened last night. "check!" "Check it out for me!" Emperor Jianwu was extremely angry. The palace guards, together with the secret guards, searched every corner of the palace, but still found nothing. There were even rumors in the palace. This is a first-class master of Xuanyang Sect who attacked at night to threaten Emperor Jianwu! Next time, it will not be the five deputy general managers who will be killed, but the head of Emperor Jianwu. At first, Emperor Jianwu didn't believe it. But he couldn't help but believe it. Because, in this palace, there was really no trace of the whereabouts of the five deputy general managers. No one suspected Su Chen's library.
After all, who could have imagined that a 19-year-old, incapable of cultivation, Sixth Red Robe Steward would be so contemptuous of the imperial power, and that he could kill anyone the five deputy stewards said, and that he actually had the power to kill five third-grade masters. "Xuan Yang Sect!" "How dare you threaten me!" "In this case, I will let you see the true strength of Daliang..." Emperor Jianwu really believed the rumors and stepped into the Tianwu Tower late at night. He was originally wavering in his heart, but in an instant he decided to go to war. The next day he decided on the day for the army to march out in the court. The culprit of all this, Su Chen, was in the library, drinking tea calmly, as if the disappearance of the five deputy general managers had nothing to do with him. "Master Su, after godfather disappeared, godfather's confidant who stayed behind in the Shangwu Bureau, the deputy chief steward, turned against us." "The people in the East Depot office stationed abroad are also in turmoil." "Faced with the recruitment of various forces, several brothers in charge of the East Factory were also wavering. That night, I heard some rumors and went to inquire..." "There are even people trying to get involved in perfume and soap shops..." "There is the East Factory outside, the Martial Arts Bureau inside, and the company as a money bag. These are all the foundations left by my godfather. Master Su, since you have such strength and are also my godfather's sworn brother, why don't you come forward and take over all of this..." Xu Xiaohan persuaded. Zhang Gui's faction seemed to be at its peak, but it all depended on the backbone Zhang Gui. Now that Zhang Gui was missing, this huge foundation was already showing signs of collapse. It's been less than half a month, and people's hearts are already so unsettled. It's obvious that Emperor Jianwu was behind this. Zhang Gui is the knife in his hand, and also the fattened pig! Obviously, Emperor Jianwu also thought that Zhang Gui might have been killed by the Xuanyang Sect, and he couldn't wait to take over everything of Zhang Gui, including his enormous wealth, the East Factory's foundation, and the many practitioners loyal to Zhang Gui. Even Zhang Gui's death may not have been without his hand. He is the new emperor. His maternal relatives had all been killed by the previous Purple Robe Nine Thousand Year Old Emperor, so he also lacks foundation. In Daliang, a first-rank official was equal to the emperor. If Zhang Gui really became a first-rank official, with tremendous power under his command and countless adopted sons following him, he, the Emperor Jianwu, would probably become a puppet emperor. "You have served me for three years, how could you not understand my desire to stay away from disputes?" "So much advice." "You want a piece of Zhang Gui's legacy, and you want me to support you?" Su Chen drank tea and revealed Xu Xiaohan's thoughts in one sentence. moment. His thoughts were revealed by these words, and Xu Xiaohan felt as if he was drunk in an icy cave. He knelt on the ground in fear, banged his head on the ground, and began to tremble. "Master Su, I was wrong. I shouldn't have had wild dreams that I shouldn't have..." In Zhang Gui's faction, Xu Xiaohan has been serving Su Chen all year round. It would be better to say that he is Su Chen's godson than Zhang Gui's godson. He has been ostracized by Zhang Gui's trusted sons for many years and has become a marginal figure. The blue-robed steward was the end of him.
If Xu Xiaohan had no ambition, he would not have flattered Zhang Gui and become one of Zhang Gui's first godsons. That night, after learning about Master Su's true strength, Xu Xiaohan's ambitions burned fiercely, and he tossed and turned for several nights, unable to fall asleep. As a godson, why couldn't he have a share of the spoils! a long time. Xu Xiaohan's eyes became firm and he kowtowed heavily. "Please support me, Master Su!" He doesn't pretend anymore! He, Xu Xiaohan, has been submissive in front of other godsons for three years. Today, he wants to take advantage of Master Su's help and make a name for himself! "why?" “Is power so good?” Su Chen drank tea, showing no emotion, and asked calmly. "Master Su!" "I was born a beggar, and I was always trampled underfoot. My life was worthless, and no one cared if I died! But after I entered the palace, followed my godfather, and met Master Su, I realized what power and glory are!" "I have no roots and no home! I just want to be the deputy steward, the steward, to hold power in my hands! To have power! No one will dare to look down on me, Xu Xiaohan, anymore!" Having said that, Xu Xiaohan kowtowed heavily again and said. "Please support me, Master Su!" In a trance. Looking at the ambition in Xu Xiaohan's eyes, Su Chen remembered that when he first met Zhang Gui, he had the same look in his eyes. Xu Xiaohan is not young anymore. He already knew what he wanted. With a flick of a finger. A stream of immortality energy from Su Chen's body penetrated into Xu Xiaohan's body. "Tonight, you will succeed in reaching the third level!" "The next day." "You go to see Emperor Jianwu and express your feelings. He is in need of a valuable horse bone, and you are just the right person..." Xu Xiaohan burst into tears and kowtowed heavily. "Thank you, Master Su!" He had even prepared himself to be kicked out by Master Su and no longer be liked by Master Su, but he didn't expect that Master Su would actually help a worthless person like him. His aptitude is average, and he will surely die if he tries to reach the third level.
There is no magical method in this world that can guarantee someone’s entry into the third rank. But he believed in Master Su. That night he set out to reach the third level. This caused quite a stir in the Shangwu Bureau and even among other supervisory officials. "Xu Xiaohan? Haha, everyone knows that he has average talent. Relying on elixirs, he has already exhausted his potential by reaching the peak of the fourth rank at this age. He even dares to attack the Condensed Gang from the Violent Qi Realm..." "Tsk, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. How to write the word death!" "That's good now. Another position for the blue robe manager will be vacant. I bet that if he tries to reach the third level of Condensed Energy, his heart meridian will be broken and he will die." Countless sneering eyes were focused on Xu Xiaohan. But Xu Xiaohan still remained in seclusion. the next day. Xu Xiaohan successfully came out of seclusion and went straight into the imperial study. He knelt down three times and kowtowed three times. Emperor Jianwu had a long conversation with him. And then. Emperor Jianwu personally conferred the title of third-rank Ning Gang on Xu Xiaohan, who took over the position of deputy chief of the Shangwu Bureau, acting as chief, in charge of all the practicing eunuchs and blue-robed stewards in the Shangwu Bureau! The eunuchs in the palace, from the red-robed chief steward to the ordinary eunuchs, were in an uproar and were terrified. "This Xu Xiaohan, with his humble talent, didn't have his Qi running wild and his heart meridians broken, but he became a third-rank official? And with a third-rank official, he is in charge of the thousands of eunuchs practicing in the Shangwu Bureau? The last person with such power was Zhang Gui..." "What kind of shitty luck is this!" "He had a lowly talent and a one in a thousand chance of success in his gamble, but he actually won the bet." Countless jealous eyes seemed to engulf Xu Xiaohan. In the library. After a day and a night, the sixty-eighth immortal qi in Su Chen's body was finally restored slowly. these years. He consciously reduced his use of the immortality qi. In front of him, Xu Xiaohan, wearing the red robe of the deputy general manager, stood respectfully beside Su Chen, acting like a son, with tears of gratitude, and wanted to make tea for Su Chen. "Master Su..." Xu Xiaohan knew that if it weren't for the method Su Chen used on him last night, he would have been torn to pieces by the violent energy last night, and he would have no chance to straighten out the energy and stabilize the third level. Master Su actually did it, and raised him to the third rank, firmly establishing his position as deputy chief steward! He was also the deputy chief steward of the Shangwu Bureau, a position just below the chief steward of the palace. Last night, he was still a humble man in a blue robe, but now, he is the hottest new noble in the palace, Deputy Chief Eunuch Xu. All this was accomplished by Su Chen in the blink of an eye.
