In the side hall on the west side of the Great Ming Palace, a group of young eunuchs who were no more than thirteen or fourteen years old were led into the side hall by an old eunuch who was in his forties.
"Commander Chu, these are the new ones from the imperial kitchen this year. I've brought them all for you!”
Chu Xiu sat on a chair at the side and drank tea. There were many fruits placed beside him.
"Manager Hu, well done!"
"I told you to bring him here. I'll give you three months to cure the Life-Death Notes!”
"However, I have a reward here. You can listen to it!”
"In the vast Imperial Palace, your imperial kitchen isn't the only one with a eunuch!”
"Bring me a steward, and I'll extend the antidote for three months. Bring me two, six months, three stewards, nine months, and so on!”
The more Chu Xiu spoke, the more excited Steward Hu's expression became.
"Commander Chu, look carefully. Old Hu has been in this palace for thirty years. Other than the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity, I don't dare to.”
He had experienced the power of the Life-Death Notes. That feeling was really worse than death.
"Let's start with those inconspicuous Cold Palace and other palaces like Benevolence Palace and Changle Palace. Don't act rashly and alert the enemy!”
Chu Xiu said indifferently.
He was using the Life-Death Notes to control these guys, mainly to filter out his team.
According to the information he had received so far, there should be a Level Nine expert in the palace. He just did not know where he was hiding.
However, there was a high chance that it was with the Empress Dowager of Renshou Palace.
Just as Chief Steward Hu finished speaking, another guard led a team of armored soldiers into the side hall.
Steward Hu was shocked when he saw the person.
It was the commander of the first-class imperial guards in the palace, a Rank-5 martial artist, Xiang Feng.
After entering the side hall, Xiang Feng's expression changed when he saw people coming and going in the huge side hall.
Although he knew that the new Emperor had issued a secret edict for the old guard of the Prince's mansion, Chu Xiu, to form the useless East Chamber, this commotion was too big!
"Chu Xiu, why did you lure me here?”
Xiang Feng had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a resolute face. He had never been a person who could let his eyes get dirty, so he was naturally furious when he saw this scene.
"There's no other reason. Please come to Commander Xiang to pledge loyalty to His Majesty!”
Chu Xiu sat there and said with a smile.
"Impudent, I am the commander of the palace, how can I not be loyal to His Majesty?”
Xiang Feng was furious.
Chu Xiu sneered. The tea in his hand trembled slightly and turned into dozens of Life-Death Notes, which shot towards Xiang Feng.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Chu Xiu dared to attack him, Xiang Feng's aura was as strong as a mountain. He instantly drew his saber and turned it into a white silk, intending to block the Life-Death Notes.
However, the Life Death Note was as thin as ice. It brushed past the blade and instantly flew to his body.
His wrists, neck, scalp, and other exposed parts.
In an instant, an extremely itchy feeling appeared in his body, but immediately after, this extremely itchy feeling transformed into a pain that felt like ten thousand ants biting him.
Then, he switched back and forth between itchiness and pain.
Even Xiang Feng, who had been beaten up, couldn't help but fall to the ground and scream in pain.
"It's too noisy!"
Chu Xiu casually picked up a peanut and flicked it lightly, quickly hitting Xiang Feng's mute acupoint.
Then, General Manager Hu saw Xiang Feng sobbing and unable to speak. He rolled on the ground like a demon and even hit his head on the ground.
That miserable state!
He looked no different from when the Life-Death Notes were planted on him.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu took action and removed the Life-Death Notes from Xiang Feng's body.
"Forget it. If I only used the Life-Death Talisman to restrain you, you would definitely not accept it!”
"How about this, I'll give you a chance to attack. As long as you can defeat me, you can leave through this door and report me!”
Chu Xiu said indifferently.
When Xiang Feng heard Chu Xiu's words, his eyes flashed fiercely.
He leaped up and threw a punch at Chu Xiu!
Chu Xiu lightly extended his palm and easily blocked Xiang Feng's punch.
"Too weak!"
In the center of his palm, a force was pulsing, turning Yin into Yang!
In an instant, an invisible force gushed out from Chu Xiu's palm and sent Xiang Feng flying.
Puff!
In the air, Xiang Feng spat out blood and crashed to the ground with a pale face.
"Aiya, my Commander Xiang, don't be stubborn. Commander Chu is doing this for someone else. Isn't it also for His Majesty?”
"If we subjects don't pledge loyalty to His Majesty, who else can we pledge loyalty to?”
At this moment, General Manager Hu hurriedly walked forward and persuaded loudly.
Then, she said softly to Xiang Feng,"Commander, a wise man doesn't eat the loss in front of him. It's not embarrassing to admit defeat!”
When Xiang Feng heard this, his expression changed several times before finally becoming dejected.
"Commander Chu, I am willing to pledge my loyalty to His Majesty!”
Xiang Feng finally stood up and cupped his hands.
"Simple. Go over there and record your background, background, and who you work for in the dark. After you record it, you can leave!”
"Chief Hu, lead the way for Commander Xiang and teach him!”
Chu Xiu said indifferently.
"Understood! Leave the commander to me!"
General Manager Hu immediately led Xiang Feng to a corner of the side hall.
There was a eunuch in his twenties. He was originally a scholar, but he had entered the palace and was discovered by Chu Xiu.
"Name, cultivation level, faction, relationship with the imperial court!”
Seeing Xiang Feng walk over, the eunuch didn't even look up and asked quickly.
Xiang Feng struggled, but he still spoke slowly.
On the other side, in front of Chu Xiu, another guard commander quickly walked over.
"Commander Chu, there are thirty-eight young eunuchs in the imperial kitchen, and only three of them can sense Qi!”
"Leave the three of them behind, let Steward Hu take the rest!”
Being able to sense Qi meant that he had good aptitude for martial arts.
These eunuchs who sensed Qi were the ones Chu Xiu had selected to cultivate the Sunflower Manual.
"Hurry up and change to the next batch!"
"Yes, sir!"
After three days, hundreds of eunuchs and dozens of guards in the Imperial Palace had arrived.
More than half of them were controlled by Chu Xiu's Life-Death Notes!
There were also some people who held important positions and Chu Xiu didn't want to take action against them.
Three days later, the scholar eunuch came over with a thick stack of papers.
"Commander, the statistics have been completed!"
"There are two hundred and thirteen eunuchs in the palace, and their influence is spread throughout the four divisions, eight departments, and twelve prisons. Among them, thirty-eight are colluding with forces outside the palace!”
"There are thirty-six commanders of the palace guards. Two of them are sixth-grade commanders, six are fifth-grade first-class commanders, and twenty-eight are fourth-grade second-class and third-class commanders.”
"This subordinate also deliberately did some integration and categorized the people who belong to the same faction!”
"In addition, 1,253 young eunuchs have been selected over the past three days. There are a total of 124 who meet the requirements of the commander!”
"Among them, 14 people performed well!”
"In addition, I also counted the young eunuchs who can read and write here. There are eighty-seven of them who can become scribes!”
Chu Xiu nodded in satisfaction as he listened to the eunuch's report.
"Zhongxian, you did well. When they are nurtured, I will allow you to return to your hometown to take revenge!”
Upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, the scholar eunuch named Wei Zhongxian immediately kowtowed.
"Thank you, Commander!"
