"Your performance is not bad. It's just that your current strength is indeed not presentable. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you stole the imperial jade seal!”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and tapped Wu Zhao's glabella. A red light had already fused into it.
"Phoenix masterpiece technique?"
"Phoenix blood?"
Before Wu Zhao could ask further, he felt his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, begin to increase rapidly. He quickly closed his eyes and began to carefully comprehend.
However, he was even more surprised in his heart.
To be able to raise his cultivation to such an extent with just a casual bestowment, this Emperor's strength was probably far beyond his previous estimation!
Fortunately, she had made the right choice earlier and was now his wife.
It was actually quite good to have such a husband.
While Wu Zhao's heart was extremely shocked, he also felt a trace of warmth and womanly happiness from being protected.
No matter how strong a woman was, she still hoped to have someone to rely on.
......
East Hall,
"Supervisor, bad news!"
"Now that Wu Zhao has become the Imperial Empress, both inside and outside the court, including Eunuch Cao, have objections to the superintendent.”
An old eunuch quickly walked into the secret room and reported to the factory supervisor Liu Xi who was cultivating.
"How dare you disturb my cultivation over such a trivial matter?”
"The list of female attendants was decided by me and the scholars of the cabinet. Wu Zhao was also chosen by His Majesty. What does it have to do with me?”
"Go back and break one of your arms. If there's a next time, I'll definitely take your life!”
Liu Xi, whose cultivation was interrupted, was furious. The secret report in his hand turned into ashes.
"Eunuch, spare me!"
"This subordinate has come for another matter. I have already found out the Xuan Yin women that Eunuch wants!”
The old eunuch hurriedly knelt down.
"Oh, who is it?"
Liu Xi's face lit up.
In order to master the " Great Technique of Spatial Absorption ", he had spent more than ten years to gather five pure Yang bodies. Now, he only needed two women with Xuan Yin bodies to master it.
"They are the two daughters of the Murong family in Jiangnan, Murong Shu and Murong Xian!”
The old eunuch hesitated for a moment." However, they've already been chosen as the next batch of female cultivators. I'm afraid it won't be easy to make a move!"”
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, as long as she was confirmed to be a beautiful woman, she was the emperor's woman. Reaching out to the harem was even more taboo than killing a first-grade official!
"As long as I can master the divine technique, I can suppress Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Bujue. Not to mention the two young ladies, even the imperial concubine of the current dynasty is nothing!”
"Moreover, our rowdy Emperor is probably out of control now. He can't even protect himself. How can he have the mood to pay attention to a few beautiful girls?”
"Who knows, when the time comes, he might even ask me to help him clean up the scene!”
"If you can't bring these two girls back within ten days, bring their heads to me!" Liu Xi sneered.”
......
Thousands of miles away, in the King Pingnan's Mansion.
A white-faced swordsman with a slight beard and a snow-white robe slowly walked in. His eyes were as cold as the stars.
Seeing the white-robed swordsman, everyone in the main hall stood up to welcome him. King Pingnan, who was sipping tea on the main seat, also said with a bright gaze,""Congratulations city lord Ye, your cultivation has reached the peak of martial grandmaster!”
"He's just an early-stage martial grandmaster.
Tell me, why did you call me here in such a hurry?”
The white-robed swordsman said indifferently.
"If there's nothing important, this king wouldn't dare to disturb city lord Ye's cultivation!”
"The reason we invited you this time is because the opportunity we have been waiting for has arrived.”
King Pingnan's tone paused for a moment before he quickly regained his calm.
Although he was very dissatisfied, the person in front of him was the White Cloud City Lord, Ye Gucheng, who shocked the entire Ming Dynasty. His cultivation as a Great Grandmaster combined with his peerless sword technique was enough to kill thousands of troops.
If he wanted to make his plan come true, Ye Gucheng would definitely be the most important!
"City lord Ye might not know this, but recently that little emperor was bewitched by a vixen from the Great Tang. Not only did he confer her the title of empress, but he also granted her the right to attend court!”
"Right now, the entire court is in an uproar, and it's the best time for us to strike!”
The heir of King Pingnan quickly changed the topic.
"What the prince said is true. Although the little Emperor had many absurd actions before, he has not yet personally ruled. With a few old ministers supporting him, there was no big trouble!”
"But now, he actually disregards the ancestral teachings and laws and appoints a group of women to take charge of the country's weapons. The morale of the people has been greatly reduced. This is the best time for us to clean up the emperor's side!”
Military Advisor Wang Pingnan echoed.
"Although the capital is in chaos, the strength of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa and the East and West Depots is still there. I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed, right?”
King Pingnan's face was filled with joy, but then he hesitated.
Although Zhu Houzhao had done many absurd things after he ascended the throne, the foundation left behind by the previous Hongzhi Emperor was too solid. It was not something that could be defeated in just five years.
Even though Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was outstanding, Zhu Bujue and Cao Zhengchun were both martial grandmasters who had grown up many years ago. It was still unknown who would win if they fought one against two.
"Isn't this simple? Although our Great Ming Swordsmen have tens of thousands of people, only city lord Ye and Ximen Chuixue have the highest reputation!”
"If we release the news that Lord Ye will fight Ximen Chuixue on the summit of the forbidden city to fight for the title of the number one swordsman in the world, it will definitely attract everyone's attention. At that time, who would have thought that he would take the opportunity to assassinate the little emperor who was in seclusion?”
The military advisor said proudly.
"It's a good plan, but what if Ximen Chuixue doesn't come?”
The heir of King Pingnan asked doubtfully.
In his opinion, Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship was the only one in the world. As long as Ximen Chuixue was not stupid, he would not come here to die.
"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. A successful swordsman is a proud and aloof person who will never admit that his sword is inferior to others!”
"As long as we build up our reputation, Ximen Chuixue will definitely not retreat or avoid the battle. Otherwise, he will never be able to raise his head in the pugilistic world in the future.”
The old military counselor said confidently.
"Then I'll have to trouble city lord Ye. After the matter is done, this king, no, zhen will definitely thank you heavily!”
King Pingnan said with a fanatical expression.
Ye Gucheng nodded indifferently and turned to leave.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as I get the Imperial Jade Seal and ascend to the throne, a mere swordsman can only kneel before Your Highness. No, I should be kneeling at His Majesty's feet.”
Seeing the anger in King Pingnan's eyes, the old military counselor said sinisterly.
"You still understand my thoughts!"
King Pingnan nodded in satisfaction.
