" The Empress Dowager has been found?!"
"Is it Cao Zhengchun or Liu Xi?"
"Two castrated dogs actually have this ability?"
Zhu Budian was shocked.
The Yun Nation was a small nation on the Small Day Island. It relied on the Great Ming Nation to not be destroyed by the Dongying Nation. Every year, they would come to pay tribute.
However, as he began to cultivate his power in Dongying, the Yun Nation gradually fell under his control.
This time, the Yun Nation had used Zhu Houzhao's coronation ceremony as a tribute. They had secretly received his instructions to kidnap the Empress Dowager. At the same time, even the Princess was an assassin, preparing to give the little king a fatal blow when they did that.
This was a test for Zhu Houzhao. If he succeeded, he would obtain the highest reward with the least cost. Even if he failed, it would have nothing to do with him, because he was using the power of Dongying to remotely control the Yun Nation.
In other words, the Yun Nation did not even know that he was the greatest master.
However, Zhu Houzhao's efficiency in resolving this matter truly surprised him.
It had only been a short while, and he had already found the Empress Dowager.
"Looks like this nephew of mine isn't simple either."
" You're here?" Zhu Budian calmed himself down and looked at the handsome man in white with his hands behind his back. He smiled and said," Have you found Aunt Wang?" It looks like Gu Santong isn't crazy. Haitang, tell me the details."
"Yes, foster father!"
Shangguan Haitang immediately told him the information she had obtained through the World's First Manor's intelligence network.
When he heard that Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi had joined forces to attack the relay station, taking down the Yun Nation's diplomatic mission and saving the Empress Dowager, his pupils constricted slightly.
This precise and quick action and the closing of the net showed that Zhu Houzhao had obtained absolute information.
" Hmph, the Yun Nation, a tiny country, dares to do such a treasonous thing."
"It seems that I, Great Ming, need to show off my soldiers to intimidate these little rascals."
After expressing his surprise at the Empress Dowager being found, Zhu Budian also expressed his anger towards the Yun Nation.
Taking a deep breath, he ordered," Immediately investigate the whereabouts of Gu Santong, Zhang Chuyun, and the others. Arrest them and bring them to justice. I will report this to the King and personally lead the troops to teach the Yun Nation a lesson."
"Yes, foster father." Shangguan Haitang immediately withdrew.
After he left, Zhu Chong shook his hand.
"With Zhu Houzhao crowned, his power will increase day by day."
"This loss is disadvantageous to me."
"After preparing for so many years, it's time to take a gamble."
"Gu Santong, let me use your head as a sacrifice!"
At the same time, in the imperial study of the Ming Dynasty's Forbidden City.
Zhu Houzhao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Could Zhang Chuyun's words be true?"
The Empress Dowager had been found, but Zhu Houzhao didn't look happy at all. Instead, he looked very uneasy.
Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi didn't understand what was going on with Little Wang.
They had been standing in front of them for almost half an hour.
"This is related to this king's throne. It's better to believe it than not!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed as he made a decision.
The contents of the letter Zhang Chuyun asked Xiaonu to leave for him were not much.
It began with a sentence: " Great Ming King, how are you? To be able to read this letter means that you have been deceived by your Wang Shuzhu. He has ordered me and Gu Santong to be wanted for kidnapping the Empress Dowager and the Princess."
Zhu Houzhao expressed that there was still Cassie.
However, he continued to watch patiently.
The second sentence made him angry and afraid.
" Then I can only say that you're really stupid to be used by your uncle. The ones who kidnapped the empress dowager were the Yun Nation's diplomatic corps, and they were the people Zhu ignored. Other than kidnapping the empress dowager, they also planned to assassinate you."
Uncle Wang wanted to send someone to assassinate him?
Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all.
All along, he had felt that Uncle Wang was loyal but treacherous, and that the power of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa was too strong. It was not good for his royal power, but he had no evidence and no way to deal with it.
Now, it was just another kind of solid hammer.
The content that truly made him afraid and angry was yet to come.
Zhang Chuyun mentioned in the letter that within his Darming Dynasty, there were at least three people who planned to rebel like Zhu Bujue, and each of them had accumulated extremely powerful strength. It was so great that even if he knew now, if he didn't handle it well, the rebellion would still succeed.
Of course, he didn't believe it.
Did he think that he, Zhu Houzhao, was that Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty?
However, Zhang Chuyun said that he could verify it.
The method to verify this was very simple. It was to rescue the Empress Dowager from the hands of the Yun Nation!
The two sides established a preliminary trust.
After that, Zhang Chuyun could tell him the identity of each rebel, the power they had, and even the solution.
However, the prerequisite was that he had to satisfy Zhang Chuyun's conditions first.
For example, now.
As long as Zhu Houzhao gave the order to remove Zhang Chuyun's arrest warrant and give him the identity of a hero who rescued the Empress Dowager, he would get someone to tell him the name list of the forces that Zhu Bujue controlled.
This was a deal.
But to Zhu Houzhao, it was more like a threat.
If he didn't pardon him, would he have to watch Zhu disregard his rebellion?
As for Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi, he didn't know if they could be used.
This was simply going too far.
In fact, what angered Zhu Houzhao the most was that after he ordered the arrest warrant to be withdrawn, Cessley would either be taken by Zhang Chuyun or return to the border.
How could he not be angry that such a beautiful woman had been missed?
However, what Zhu Houzhao valued the most in his heart was ultimately the royal power.
Therefore, he decided to make a deal with Zhang Chuyun.
"If you can't do it, or if you don't satisfy me, I can remove your status as a hero and arrest you again."
"Even if you can really do it, can't I kill the donkey when I'm done?"
"In short, there's nothing wrong with giving it a try. I can get some Uncle Wang…I've earned enough by ignoring the evidence of Zhu's rebellion and the list of forces."
"If there are really some people who want to rebel, I can deal with them as soon as possible."
With this thought, Zhu Houzhao immediately gave an order." Draw up the decree. Zhang Chuyun has provided the information to save the Empress Dowager. From today onwards, he will be a guest of the Ming royal family. The arrest warrant will be revoked and he will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold."
Zhu Houzhao was generous in the end.
The eunuch who drafted the edict immediately wrote the edict and went to get the king's seal.
Zhu Houzhao personally stamped it and handed it to Cao Zhengchun for him to help.
" What about Gu Santong?" Cao Zhengchun was confused. He didn't act immediately. Instead, he asked," Your Majesty, what about Gu Santong?"
"Gu Santong?"
" Hmph!" Zhu Houzhao frowned and snorted." Uncle Wang is getting worse and worse. How can his information be wrong?"
"However, Gu Santong was a prisoner captured by the former king when he was in power. Now that he has escaped from prison, his crime has increased."
" He escaped from the prison of the East Chamber. You are responsible for arresting him. He will be punished according to the law of the Ministry of Justice."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently.
Cao Zhengchun immediately left.
Liu Xi saw that he had nothing to do, so he took the initiative to leave.
There were not many people left in the royal study.
Zhu Laotu looked at Xiaonu, who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled." Get up. Tell me what happened that day in detail."
~ Dividing line ~
At the same time.
Seven horses stood side by side in front of a fork in the road.
The leader was a white horse, and Zhang Chuyun was sitting on it with Cassie in his arms.
Don't ask why Cassie didn't ride a horse herself. There weren't enough horses. There were only seven.
"Let's split up here," Zhang Chuyun said as he pulled the reins.
"Gu Santong will accompany Li Xunhuan to Baoding Prefecture. Senior Sun, please work hard too."
" Cassie, Yun Luo, Cheng Fei, and Miss Xiao Hong will follow me. We will go straight to Kaifeng, then turn to Xuchang, and finally to Leigu Mountain."
"Gu Santong, Li Xunhuan, after you settle your matters, go directly to Leigu Mountain to meet us."
Gu Santong, Li Xunhuan, and the others naturally had no objections.
They could be said to be Zhang Chuyun's retainers.
"Little friend Zhang, are you sure you can take this old man down?" Sun Baifa stroked his beard proudly.
Sun Xiaohong placed her hand on her forehead.
Hasn't this grandfather been slapped in the face enough times today?
If Sun Baifa knew what she was thinking, he would have roared," I've been slapped in the face so many times. Isn't it mainly because your granddaughter is siding with outsiders?"
"Senior Sun, are you not willing to go?" Zhang Chuyun chuckled." It doesn't matter if you don't go. I can get my people to spread the news so that Senior Sun will know that I'm not joking."
A vote appeared in the live broadcast room." The keyboard is ready. You can go and refresh the screen at any time."
"Cough ~"
Sun Baifa coughed.
Everyone said that Li Xunhuan was boasting. How could he be willing to be absent when he could witness such a thing?
He just wanted to get some benefits.
"I can help you. Can Li Tanhua let me take a look at that letter?"
Fearing that Zhang Chuyun would say something else, Sun Baifa decided to be direct. He pointed at the letter in Li Xunhuan's hand.
He had already figured out most of what happened between Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan, but he still didn't know the whole story.
He was also very interested in Zhang Chuyun's statement.
Perhaps he could use this opportunity to experience Zhang Chuyun's methods.
"Senior Sun, please."
Li Xunhuan didn't mind and directly handed the letter to Sun Baifa.
When he finished reading the contents.
"Bastard!"
Sun Baifa was so angry that his beard and hair were flying in the air.
" I'll send a message to Kui right now and ask him to kill Long Xiaoyun. He actually set up Little Li Tanhua like this. He's simply not a son, he's simply..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Because he noticed that everyone was looking at him with a playful gaze.
Sun Xiaohong shook her head helplessly.
"Hmph, this old man hates hypocrites the most."
Sun Baifa argued.
The crowd did not expose him. Instead, Sun Xiaohong asked curiously,"Is Second Uncle in Baoding Prefecture?"?
The Kui that Sun Baifa mentioned, his full name was Sun Kui. He was really Sun Xiaohong's second uncle.
"Yes, I'll let him be in charge of the intelligence work over there." Sun Baifa nodded.
However, he secretly gave Zhang Chuyun a look.
Sun Kui was indeed in charge of intelligence work in the Baoding Prefecture, but it was just a passing job.
Its true purpose was to monitor and protect Lin Shiyin's Treasure Book of Lian Hua.
Lian Hua Bao Jian was the work of a strange chivalrous man, Wang Lian Hua, who had devoted her entire life to writing it. Not only did it contain the cultivation method of Earth-rank martial arts, but it also contained the art of poisoning, the art of disguising, the art of casting witchcraft by the Miao people, the art of telepathy from Persia, and other secret arts.
Back then, because of Shen Lang, Wang Lian Hua had decided to give Li Xunhuan the Lian Hua Treasure Mirror that he had learned in his life. However, when he arrived at Li Garden, he realized that Li Xunhuan was not at home, and he was in a hurry to go out to the sea to search for immortals. Thus, he entrusted Lin Shiyin to pass it to him. At the same time, he asked Sun Kui to secretly watch over the Lian Hua Treasure Mirror and not allow anyone to snatch it.
However, Lin Shiyin never took out the Treasure Book of Compassion.
Sun Baifa felt that it was inappropriate for him to say this.
"Senior, you owe me a favor." Zhang Chuyun shot him a look.
Of course, he knew about the Lotus Treasure Mirror.
The Li family was a century-old aristocratic family. They had been officials for generations and had a wide range of hands. Among them was the famous hero of that generation, Shen Lang.
When Li Xunhuan was young, he loved to play with knives. Old Li Tanhua was eager to love his son, so he asked Shen Lang for help.
Shen Lang had comprehended a set of inner force techniques that were suitable for throwing knives from the Invincible Treasure Mirror. He had even personally taught Li Xunhuan martial arts for a period of time.
However, considering that he had many enemies and did not want to cause trouble for the Li family, Shen Lang got Old Li Tanhua to announce to the public that it was a family martial art. Therefore, after the throwing knife became famous, it was called Little Li Flying Knife.
Wang Lian Hua had a close relationship with Shen Lang. After learning about this, she felt that Li Xunhuan, whom Shen Lang had taken a liking to, was trustworthy. Thus, before she went out to sea, she gave the Lian Hua Treasure Mirror that she had learned in her life to him. In the end, it fell into Lin Shiyin's hands.
Lin Shiyin hoped that Li Xunhuan would not be obsessed with martial arts and spend more time with her, so she hid the Treasure Book of Lian Hua and never said it.
With her behavior, no matter how beautiful she was, Zhang Chuyun would not like her.
He didn't even know when he had been scammed.
Besides, how could Lin Shiyin be prettier than Cassie?
Even Sun Xiaohong was much better than her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chuyun subconsciously glanced at Sun Xiaohong.
Sun Xiaohong was also looking at him.
Their eyes met, and the two of them laughed at the same time.
Sun Baifa was speechless.
I begged you to keep it a secret, and now you're flirting with my granddaughter?
This is too much, A-Hey!
Sun Baifa wanted to say something, but he felt Sun Xiaohong's gaze.
The big, beautiful eyes that looked the most like her were filled with warning.
Oh ~
Sun Baifa closed his mouth sadly.
She could not go back. Her cute granddaughter could never go back.
At this moment, Gu Santong suddenly asked," Young Master, I'm done helping Li brat settle his matters. Can I go to Tianshan to bring Suxin back first? I'm afraid that a long delay will lead to trouble."
Well, with Gu Santong's undefeatable naughty personality, it was normal for him to call Li Xunhuan Little Li.
Hearing his words, Zhang Chuyun counted with his fingers, and his eyes became a little solemn.
"If you want to go to Sky Mountain and bring back Suxin, the Tiangang and Disha that Zhu ignored won't be a problem."
"The real danger is the World Association!"
The World Conference?
