The palace has a large interior and a small courtyard.
Cao Zhengchun was sitting leisurely on the recliner, dangling here and there. The maids next to him came in and out, serving fruits.
This is the life of lying down and being comfortable.
As his cultivation reached a new level, his strength continued to grow every day, especially the strange power of divine consciousness that allowed him to see all the secrets of this capital.
It's interesting, but also boring.
Originally, according to his intention, he wanted to directly expose Zhu Tiedan's conspiracy. This man has been fighting with himself all his life. If he were to achieve his goal easily, it would make him unhappy.
The success of brothers and friends is heart-wrenching, but the success of opponents is even more painful.
But from Le Ye, he learned an important virtue: you must think twice before doing anything!
First: Can I not do it?
Second: Can we do it tomorrow?
Third: Can you do it for others?
So after he went out last time, he didn't bother to go out again.
Thinking about it, with his current strength, it would be very boring to fight those people in person, not at all.
Don't you feel comfortable having that time like your little ancestors, eating more, drinking more, and playing more?
Of course, what he looked forward to most was that when Zhu Wuli was closest to success, he would directly take action to turn the tide and help the building to collapse.
When the time comes, let’s appreciate the changes in Tietan Shenhou’s expression.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Meow~" The little yellow cat sat down on the shovel's belly and looked up and down with its big blue eyes.
Why is this guy laughing so cheaply all by himself? Is there a cat cake?
Cao Zhengchun immediately sat upright, but he couldn't let his little ancestor look down on him!
"Father, have some tea!" Pi Xiaotian came in with a tea tray and served him respectfully.
As a close subordinate of the Grand Eunuch, the current manager of the inner palace, Pi Xiaotian, in addition to doing his job well, the most important thing is to still maintain the relationship with his adoptive father.
With this relationship, even if he does something wrong sometimes, he will not be punished and may even be promoted. But if there is no relationship, even a small thing may drag him down.
"Yes!" Cao Zhengchun proudly picked up the tea cup, turned around and smiled flatteringly at the little yellow cat next to him: "Little ancestor, drink tea first."
Everything he has now is given by his little ancestor, so naturally he has to take care of his mood.
What's wrong with being a slave? As long as it makes him live a good and comfortable life, he is willing to be a slave!
"Suck!" The little yellow cat enjoyed it peacefully.
Cao Zhengchun then turned his head and said with a cold face: "Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the inner palace? If anything happens to any of the concubines' sons and grandsons, I will kill you!"
Pi Xiaotian smiled flatteringly: "With you here, foster father, who would dare to cause problems in the palace. But there is a big event outside the palace today. Not only us little minions, but even the Queen Mother and the Emperor may not be able to sleep well."
"Oh, what's going on?" Cao Zhengchun asked curiously.
Although he could observe the entire Kyoto in real time, he didn't start to get lazy after hanging out with his little ancestor for a long time.
Anyway, no matter what happens outside, it won't have much impact on him, so why bother paying attention to that?
"Reporting to my adoptive father, Liu Jin, the governor of the East Factory, forced the secret files of the ten generals from the mouth of Shenhou. Now he has received the full support of the three generals. He has even obtained the military talismans."
Speaking of this, Pi Xiaotian looked nervous.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the most important things to mobilize the army are two things: military symbols and edicts. And the military symbols are all for one place, and it is absolutely impossible to mobilize two armies with one military symbol.
The military talisman is usually a whole piece of military talisman divided into two halves, one half for the court and one for the general. After the general receives the edict and verifies the authenticity of the military talisman, he will mobilize the army.
As for the edict, it needs to be sealed by the emperor and the Ministry of War to be considered a valid edict.
Of course, when the army sets out, the most important thing is food, grass, ordnance. People eat, horses chew, and the amount used by a hundred thousand troops in one day is staggering. There are also various other factors.
But now, Liu Jin has Academician Jiao as an external support, and already controls the Ministry of War. Coupled with the military talismans in the hands of the three generals, it can be said that he has the power to fight.
With the right opportunity, this force has a high probability of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.
Cao Zhengchun didn't care: "Xiaotian, so what if there are military symbols? He Liu Jin is the same as us, he has no seeds, why should he rebel? Who will support him?
At most, I will only be a nine-thousand-year-old person. Is there any difference from now? "
Pi Xiaotian was still a little worried: "But, foster father, I have military power in my hands. What if Liu Jin wants to be the regent and supervise the country? Apart from other things, how about using the emperor to order the princes to kill us and enjoy wealth for the rest of our lives?"
Although Liu Jin was an eunuch and would definitely return to power after a few decades, it would be a great loss if he was killed.
"Father, how about we run away first?"
Pi Xiaotian suggested, obviously he was very confident in his ability to escape.
"Dong~" Cao Zhengchun directly invited him to eat a chestnut.
"Idiot! Why are you running? The Tietan Shenhou is not dead yet, and you are just a decoration as a civil and military official? Besides, isn't there me and the little ancestor?
Go back and work hard, Ming Dynasty is still there! "
"Yes, foster father!" Pi Xiaotian covered his head and quickly stepped back.
This hurts too much!
You know, last time he was bored and was planning to find a considerate and gentle partner in the palace so that he could live peacefully.
As a result, it happened to be found on the head of the little girl who was usually bullied by her little ancestor and made her cry.
After that, he was given a good beating by his little ancestor. Since then, he has learned from the experience and spent a lot of time practicing Iron Tou Kung Fu.
Why doesn’t it work?
"Report to Manager Cao that there is important news coming from outside the palace."
"explain."
"Eunuch Liu, the Governor of the East Factory, presented a memorial to the Holy One, saying that the iron gall god Hou Zhuwu was suffering from a strange disease and died overnight in the sky prison. He was afraid of infecting the people in the Forbidden Palace, so he asked for instructions whether to bury him immediately or to be cremated directly.
But according to the investigation by his subordinates, the truth is that Eunuch Liu did not know what means to use to make the Shenhou subdue the Western Regions Celestial Silkworms. In the end, he was tortured by various means and suffered so much that he couldn't bear it anymore and took the opportunity to commit suicide! "
"Pah~" The teacup in Cao Zhengchun's hand that he was drinking leisurely fell to the ground, and he was stunned.
"Impossible!" After pondering for a while, Cao Zhengchun used his spiritual consciousness to go deep into the eighth floor of the prison to observe the very familiar figure. As expected, there was no trace of life heat again.
Pi Xiaotian:......
The adoptive father really spoke the truth. One of Ming Dynasty's four supports has already lost its status.
Suddenly another waiter hurried in outside the door.
"Reporting to Manager Cao, all the officials in the court reported to the Holy One that Mr. Liu, the governor of the East Factory, has worked hard and achieved great results, stayed upright, and cultivated his moral integrity.
Nowadays, the government and the public are in turmoil, and the minds of the people of the world have changed. In an emergency, in response to an emergency, Governor Liu Jin should be granted the title of Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses. He should not be followed when he enters the court, his praises and homages will not be known, his edicts will be unknown, and he will go to the palace with swords and shoes! "
Pi Xiaotian:......
Two already!
Pi Xiaotian quietly raised his head and glanced at his dearest and most beloved adoptive father. Wouldn't it be his turn next? Is it time to run away?
Although the little ancestor is powerful, he is lustful and greedy for money!
"Bang!" Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and gave him a blow: "What are you looking at? Why, you kid still don't believe in the strength of me, the number one master in Ouchi? Get out!"
"Good!"
"You all get out!" Cao Zhengchun glanced at his other subordinates angrily.
A bunch of losers didn't know how to report until now.
"yes!"
After everyone left, the little yellow cat continued to drink tea peacefully.
【Suck~】
Cao Zhengchun stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, looking at the harem. It was still as usual, singing and dancing, sleeves fluttering; bells and chimes were ringing, and music was melodious.
The sandalwood was lit on the platform base, and the smoke filled the air like a dream.
"A storm is coming!"
…
The best village in the world, the backyard.
Haitang took a bath, changed clothes and dressed up under the service of several maids.
Wan Sanqian stood at the door, frowning.
After a while, a woman in yellow clothes came out of the house and stood at the door with a smile. Her skin was as radiant as snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water.
The woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, she is really like a bright pearl, the jade is shining, and there is a faint aura of books between her eyebrows.
Wan Sanqian looked back at Haitang with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"As expected, my eyes have never missed you. Haitang, you have always been wearing men's clothing to cover up your beautiful appearance. In fact, you are more suitable for wearing heavy makeup and light makeup."
Haitang looked indifferent: "It turns out that you not only know how to make money, but also know how to make girls happy. After all, I am also a girl. What girl doesn't like to dress up and show off to the people she likes.
It is also a happy thing for me to be able to restore my daughter's identity now. "
Wan Sanqian smiled slightly, then thought of something and immediately became serious: "I just received some unpleasant news.
Tiedan Shenhou committed suicide in the prison! To make sure the information was accurate, I sent people back and forth to confirm it thirteen times! There should be no mistakes. "
Shangguan Haitang was stunned, and then shouted: "My foster father committed suicide? Impossible! My foster father will not commit suicide!"
right! It must be that Liu Gou who forced my foster father to death. I am going to avenge my foster father! "
Saying that, Haitang was ready to go to Dongchang to fight for his life!
As a martial arts practitioner, although she is a woman, she also has her own blood.
"Haitang!" Duan Tianya rushed over with Cheng Shifei and Yun Luo. Apparently they had also received the news.
"Brother!" Haitang stepped forward to greet him, speechless and choked.
The adoptive father avenged her, taught her skills, took care of her for twenty years, and was so kind. Why did he die today?
But she calmed down for a moment.
"Brother, there seems to be something fishy about this matter!"
Duan Tianya was stunned and looked at Wan Sanqian.
Wan Sanqian nodded lightly, he was a dedicated man, and even more so a lonely man.
If Duan Tianya hadn't already had a wife and children, or the ambiguous relationship between Duan Tianya and Haitang would have been a recipe for death.
"It's most likely a bait. Tomorrow is the funeral of the Shenhou. Liu Jin made this matter so precarious and the whole city was full of people just to catch the four spies from heaven, earth, Xuanhuang and others.
At that time, it will be time to catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate all the remaining obstacles in his Dragon Guard Villa!
If you go to a funeral tomorrow, you will surely fall into a trap. "
Cheng Shifei said angrily: "Then you mean to tell us not to go tomorrow?"
Although he is not from Hulong Villa, he is also a direct disciple of Gu Santong. Before his death, Gu Santong asked him to kill Shenhou to avenge him, but so far, he has never thought about revenge.
After spending so many days together, if such a great hero like God, who valued love, justice, loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, died, what hope would there be in this damn world?
Wan Sanqian smiled: "You can say go, or you can say not!"
Cheng Shifei was helpless and pointed directly: "You rich people are so roundabout when talking, we are not borrowing money from you!"
Wan Sanqian said confidently: "We are now playing a life-threatening chess game with Liu Jin. If we make a wrong move, the entire army will be wiped out.
In fact, I am sure of winning against Liu Jin and the factory guards and Jin Yiwei. The key is two huge variables. "
"Variable?" Haitang and others were surprised.
"Yes, variables, you see Liu Jin is so powerful now, but why hasn't there been any news from the palace yet?
Because one person and one cat: Cao Zhengchun and Le Ye. This man and one cat are so powerful that my men even speculated that they have reached the legendary realm of transcendence and sainthood!
If the two of them participate tomorrow, then we have no chance of winning anyway, even if the gods are resurrected, it will be average! "Wan Sanqian frowned when he thought of these two.
It’s so difficult!
"Supernatural and holy!"
"Yes, it is the realm that the founder of Shaolin, Patriarch Bodhidharma, and the founder of Wudang, Zhang Zhenren, have reached the realm of transcendence and sainthood.
Such people are no different from immortals in the human world! The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi who protected me last time fought with them, and they were all defeated by one move. "
The three Ouchi spies were dumbfounded. They had learned a lot today.
No wonder they were always a little worse every time they fought against Cao Zhengchun and Le Ye. It turned out that their martial arts had reached that incredible level.
It’s not just a few of them who are the losers, but the whole world!
"So, our current problem is to ensure that Cao Zhengchun and Le Ye will not appear in Xishan tomorrow." Wan Sanqian concluded.
Haitang frowned: "Except for coming out once when his adoptive father entered the prison last time, Cao Zhengchun has never left the emperor. Logically speaking, he should not come out this time.
Just in case, I will go to see the saint tomorrow and I should be able to hold him back. "
Princess Yunluo nodded and fell into deep thought: "Now that there is only a Le Master, how should we deal with him?"
After a while, when the scene was quiet, Yun Luo looked up and found that everyone present was looking at her. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, she was still pregnant, and she had already started producing milk.
More importantly, it is said that Yunluo's feet are extremely beautiful, exquisite, translucent, delicate and round.
With all these features combined, wouldn’t it be possible to seduce that little perverted cat?
Yun Luo waved his hands quickly: "What? Why are you like this? I am a pregnant woman and I am the princess!"
Cheng Shifei stepped forward, heartbroken: "Yunluo, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. You are a royal family, and it's time for you to sacrifice. Don't worry, I won't mind!"
"Ah!" screamed, obviously someone was being treated inhumanely.
Everyone smiled knowingly.
This also ensures her safety.
