"Hmm, what a pity. He was originally a small disciple of Huashan, but now he has become something. Not only did he kill the Grandmaster Blood-Edge Patriarch, but he also defeated Liu Xi of the East Hall!”
Wang Zhicong picked up a chess piece and thought for a while before slowly placing it on the chessboard. He continued,"Recently, the West Hall has been a little dull. Is it because I hid from the palace?”
In the past, the West Chamber had always been overbearing. Its status in the Ming Dynasty was above that of the East Chamber and the Brocade Guard. Everything stemmed from Wang Zhi's identity as a eunuch.
But recently, Wang Zhi rarely stayed in the palace, and even the director of ceremonies did not go much. Liu Jin, who had been fighting with him openly and secretly, was in high spirits at this time, taking almost all the positions of seal and brush.
"Eunuch has his own plans, so this subordinate doesn't dare to probe!”
Yu Huatian smiled and continued,"But since Eunuch said so, then the West Hall can also make a move. Anyway, the East Hall and the Jinyiwei have already set up a place. We can go on stage and sing!”
"Yes!" Wang Zhi nodded. Then, he looked at the chessboard and threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess pot. He smiled and said,"You're still better. When the former emperor was still around, you would occasionally play a game with him!”
"As the saying goes, we've met our match. This time, the West Military Hall needs to bring along an opponent. Otherwise, we'll become the target of the East Military Hall and the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"Eunuch Gong, you flatter me!"
Yu Huatian picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard and said,"He has a ready-made opponent, and the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa has been quiet for a long time. This is not the temperament of that Divine Overlord!”
"Don't worry, that Deity Overlord won't be able to sit still if we go down!”
Wang Zhi stood up. At this moment, a young eunuch jogged in from outside and whispered something in his ear.
"I should go into the palace. Otherwise, that person in the harem... Let's not talk about this. Liu Ruoxi has already returned to the capital.”
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he left with the young eunuch, leaving Yu Huatian alone. His eyes stared straight at the chess piece in his hand as he calculated in his heart.
The reason why the West Hall could be established was all thanks to Wang Zhi. When the former Emperor was still alive, he had doted on the Imperial Concubine Wan. It was because he had won the favor of the Imperial Concubine Wan that he had gradually climbed from an unknown eunuch to his current position.
At the same time, in the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, Zhu Budian stood in front of a fake mountain with his hands behind his back.
"Lord Divine Overlord!"
A moment later, a beautiful woman with a white veil on her face and a long dress appeared. She stood behind Zhu Bujue and spoke in a soft voice.
"Piaoxu, how long has it been since the Yun Nation arrived at the Great Ming Capital?”
Zhu Chong asked without turning his head.
"It's been more than half a year!"
Yagyu Float thought for a moment and gave a rough estimate of the time. Then, he quietly waited for Zhu Bujue to speak.
"Between you and Tian Ya?"
"Sir, I have no interest in Big Brother Tian Ya. You know that!”
A complicated look flashed in Yagyu Piaoxu's eyes. The grudge between him and Duan Tianya had to start from the Yun Nation.
Unfortunately, Yagyu Piao Xu had her own responsibilities. After the drastic changes in the Yagyu family, she bore the future and hope of revitalizing the Yagyu New Yin Sect. This woman was even more scheming. After Zhu Bujue discovered it, he secretly asked her to do many things.
"That's good!" "I have a mission for you!" Zhu Budian nodded.”
On the third day after the Yan manor case, the little emperor's reward came. This time, he sent a group of maidservants over. At the same time, he also arranged a residence for Su Chen in the north city. These maidservants were sent to the residence.
"Lord Guardian, the Emperor's reward has already arrived at your residence. I will return to the palace to report!”
The eunuch who delivered the decree had a charming smile on his face and kept bowing his head. In terms of judgment, these young eunuchs in the palace were the experts in this field. They believed that Su Chen would definitely be a rising star in the capital. It would always be beneficial to curry favor with him.
"Thank you, Eunuch!"
Su Chen nodded. The Brocade Guard beside him handed over a banknote and then sent the young eunuch out of the South Town Office.
"Tsk tsk, a courtyard with three people in it, occupying several acres of land, is much better than some gold and silver!”
Su Chen casually threw the imperial edict aside and prepared to take a look at his own mansion.
The new mansion was not far from the Jinyiwei's encampment. There was a street between the two. Most of the people who lived on the left and right were officials of the court. It was originally the mansion of a Marquis, but that guy was later dismissed and his family was confiscated, so he stayed. Now, the plaque of the Su Mansion was hung on the lintel.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw two rows of maidservants standing beside the mighty stone lion. The two women in the lead were much more beautiful than the others. They were Liu Ruoxi, who was sent by the West Hall, and Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who was sent by Zhu Bujue.
The strength of these two people were both at Xiantian ninth stage, close to the level of a grandmaster. Su Chen's gaze turned around the two of them, but he did not care and strode into the mansion.
When the emperor bestowed a maidservant, it was inevitable that some forces would arrange their own spies among them. Su Chen had long expected this.
In the guest hall of the Su residence, Su Chen sat at the head of the table and looked at the maids below. Then, he pointed at Liu Ruoxi and Liu Shengpiao Xu and said,"The two of you will stay behind and be the stewards in the future. One of you will be in charge of the affairs of the residence and the other will be in charge of the outside world.”
The maidservants responded in a coquettish manner. Many of them secretly looked at this handsome master in front of them. Their pretty faces were slightly red, and their footsteps were a little chaotic when they retreated.
"Let me introduce myself!"
Su Chen turned the teacup in his hand and changed into a more comfortable position on the chair.
"My daughter's name is Liu Ruoxi, from Jiangnan and Yangzhou!”
Liu Ruoxi spoke first. Her voice was gentle and her actions were delicate, displaying the temperament of a Jiangnan woman.
"Yagyu Piaoxu, from the Yun Nation!”
In comparison, Yagyu Piao Xu was much colder. Her face had a heroic spirit when she took off her veil, and her official language was a little rusty.
"Liu Ruoxi? Yagyu Float?"
Su Chen muttered this name in his heart and smiled. Did these guys not even bother to change the name of their spies?
The two people below didn't know that Su Chen already knew their identities, but he was too lazy to expose them.
After a few casual instructions, Su Chen dismissed the two of them and sat on a chair. He narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin.
Since all the major factions in the capital had sent people to participate, it was impolite not to reciprocate. He had to make a move.
Liu Xizhi had been slandering Zhu Bujue twice, and Su Chen knew this. How could the East Wing and the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa have such a close relationship?
But now, Liu Sheng Piaowu had appeared in his residence, which meant that Zhu Tiedan also had other thoughts.
At the thought of this, a name suddenly popped up in Su Chen's mind. It was Gu Santong!
