The Northern Liang Imperial Residence.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhu Budian held the paper fan and cupped his hands slightly.
"Hey, you and I are both Wangye, why are you treating me like an outsider?”Xu Xiao stepped forward and patted Iron-guts on the shoulder.""In the future, you can call me Old Xu, and I'll call you Old Zhu.”
Xu Xiao couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the handsome and awe-inspiring Ironguts Deity Marquis.
Feng Nian was always thinking about him.
He actually directly invited a land immortal to guard him for a year, and that person was even a powerful person in the Ming Dynasty.
Was he, Xu Xiao, not awesome enough?
"Haha, alright." Zhu Budian smiled.
He was not displeased by Xu Xiao's actions.
After all, this person had countless battle merits, had millions of corpses, and was as powerful as a tiger.
As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes.
Zhu Bujue admired Xu Xiao greatly.
On this trip, Zhu Bujue did not bring Suxin along.
Because he only had one Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, he did not dare to act rashly.
What if he couldn't find a third one within a year?
The two ambitious men first exchanged pleasantries.
Then, Xu Xiao ordered for a banquet to be held.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhu Budian finally opened his mouth and said,""Brother Xu, I wonder if you were the one who gave your young master the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?”
"Not bad." Xu Xiao nodded." After I passed away, I accidentally obtained these treasures. There are four of them in total. I gave them all to my son for self-defense."”
"Brother Xu really loves his son."
Zhu Bujue took a sip of wine and did not ask any more questions.
It was because Xu Xiao's words were flawless.
If his wife got the treasure before she died, why didn't he give it to her? Therefore, it was obtained after his death.
It was unexpected, meaning that he was unwilling to reveal the origin of the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.
Since Xu Xiao didn't want to talk about it, Zhu Bujue wouldn't pursue the matter.
However, he did not expect Xu Xiao to mention it again."Brother Zhu, don't worry. If I find more Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, I'll be the first to give it to you.”
The two of them were of different ages.
But they all called each other brother.
Obviously, none of them wanted to be big, so they had a limit to their advance and retreat.
"Brother Xu, I am extremely grateful for your kind intentions!”"If I can find another Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, I will do anything Brother Xu asks me to!" Zhu Bujue was excited.”
If it was something else, Zhu Bujue wouldn't have lost his composure like this. However, the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was too important to him.
Moreover…
Since Xu Xiao could get four, maybe she could get the fifth.
Or perhaps, Xu Xiao already had one!
Zhu ignored his words. Firstly, he was excited. Secondly, he wanted to let Xu Xiao see his determination and persistence for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom!
"Hey, Brother Zhu is too serious. Since we are brothers, there is no need to distinguish so clearly.”
"This Zhu offers a toast to Brother Xu!"
"I should be the one toasting Brother Zhu, hahaha! Come and drink. When you're done, I'll bring you to the Tidal Pavilion to listen to chess. There's an old man there who's very good at chess.”
“...”
——
In the Darming Dynasty.
In the Imperial Palace.
East Warm Pavilion (Study)
Zhu Houzhao was writing with a brush with great interest.
Standing at the side was Guihai Yidao!
At this moment, Guihai Yidao could be said to be extremely haggard.
His eyes were lifeless, and there was a green stubble on his chin.
That's right.
Before Zhu Budian left, he arranged for him to be the Emperor's personal bodyguard.
Why?
The reason was simple.
Zhu Budian knew Yidao's feelings for Haitang.
This time, he had forcefully given Haitang to Xu Fengnian, which was already a blow to Guihai.
A knife will make his heart fall into chaos.
At the very least, he wouldn't be as united as Zhu Bujue in the past.
However, would Zhu Bujue use someone who was at odds with him to manage such an important position in the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa?
Of course not.
She could not give him an important position, but she had to watch over him.
At the same time, they could not kill him and chill the hearts of their subordinates.
Thus, it was a brilliant move to arrange for him to be the Emperor's personal guard.
He protected the Emperor with a single blade.
Wouldn't the Emperor be 'watching' the blade in disguise?
In this way, how could he have the chance to go to the Liyang Realm and cause a ruckus with Xu Fengnian?
As long as he ran away with one slash.
After that, wanted posters spread all over the world!
After all, you dare to leave your post for such an important matter like protecting the emperor? The crime of deceiving the sovereign!
This was the technique of Ironguts.
Every step he took was filled with killing intent!
"Yidao, look at my handwriting. How is it?”Zhu Houzhao asked casually.
"Very good." One Blade said without even looking.
At this moment, he was in utter despair.
How could he be in the mood to care about the Emperor?
"Hehe, is there something on your mind?"
Zhu Houzhao was not annoyed.
He rubbed his temples with his right index finger."Let me guess…You're missing Miss Haitang, right?”
The news of Zhu Bujue and Haitang heading to Liyang was no longer a secret.
Haitang's identity as a woman was naturally exposed.
"Yes." One Blade nodded. His heart was as dead as ash, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with the person in front of him.
He was just a muddleheaded and incompetent emperor.
"Forget it. This one is in the palace. There is no place safer than here. Since you miss Miss Haitang so much, this one will fulfill your wish.”
Zhu Houzhao sat down slowly.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
However, Guihai Yidao was no longer calm when he heard this!
"What?"
"Your Majesty, you agree to let me go?"
Guihai Yidao gulped.
Unfortunately, the excitement that he had just raised became low again."Eh, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I serve Your Majesty. I won't leave.”
He knew.
As long as he left, he would die in the afterlife.
No one was allowed to disrupt the Divine Marquis 'plan.
Xu Fengnian had a deal with Ironguts.
Finding trouble with Xu Fengnian was equivalent to slapping the Divine Marquis in the face.
"I know what you are worried about."
Pa pa---
He clapped his hands.
He saw Guihai Yidao walk in from outside the door!
"This is…"
Guihai Yidao's pupils constricted. Cao Zhengchun's subordinate?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The man cupped his hands and smiled.”
Hearing this.
Guihai Yidao looked at Zhu Houzhao again and said in disbelief,""Your Majesty, you…"
He couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Why would Zhu Houzhao put in so much effort for him?
"To be honest, I have three palaces and six courtyards, but because of the busy state affairs, I can't share the rain and dew equally.”
"I can hear the sad cries of the women in the harem all day long. I hate to see lovers separated, and I hate to see women cry.”
"That's why I'll grant you your wish."
"It's up to you to choose where you want to go.”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and looked at Yi Dao quietly.
The so-called being unable to see lovers separated was naturally a lie.
His true purpose…
It was to completely weaken Zhu Bujue's power!
He might even destroy it!
The best way to rule a king is to let two tigers fight
The two forces could not do anything to each other. Only then would the throne be stable.
But now, he could not.
The Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa gathered all the information in the world.
Ironguts was ambitious. Although Cao Zhengchun had the Emperor's help, he was still inferior to Zhu Budian.
When two tigers fought, one of them would definitely be injured?
That's right.
However, Zhu Cao duo was fiercer than tigers.
In time, if the two of them fought, one of them would definitely die!
Sooner or later, there would be a dominant force in the Ming Dynasty.
Since he had to choose,
Then, who should be the one to dominate?
Zhu Houzhao naturally chose the eunuchs!
Because in all the countries in the world, there were men who proclaimed themselves emperors and women who proclaimed themselves emperors. Only eunuchs could not transform into dragons!
If Zhu does not see the victory, then the Ming Dynasty will change its master.
Cao Zhengchun won, but at most he controlled the government.
It just so happened that Zhu Bujue had gone to Liyang and was not around for a year. This was a rare opportunity, and Zhu Houzhao had to make a decision!
He would rather be the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty than the ruler of a fallen country!
After all, eunuchs had no descendants!
The eunuchs controlled the government, and the emperor endured hardships and tasted gall. At least there was still hope!
But if the country was destroyed, then it was truly destroyed!
That was why Zhu Houzhao used Cao Zhengchun's subordinate, Thousand-faced Playboy, to help Guihai.
This was a hint.
It meant that the royal family would do their best to help the East Military Hall destroy Zhu Bujue's forces.
He could also let Guihai Yidao cause a ruckus in the Liyang City to distract Ironguts Divine Marquis.
As for what kind of results he could achieve this year…
It would depend on each person's ability.
After completely destroying Zhu Bujue's forces, Zhu Houzhao would start to endure hardships and taste gall.
Is there still a breath left in Zhu Guan's eyes? Although it was a pity, the two tigers would be able to fight again, and Zhu Houzhao would be able to sit on the throne for at least a few years, or even a decade.
In short, it was not a loss!
To Da Ming.
Zhu Budian had a rebellious heart.
Xu Fengnian had a far-reaching plan.
Zhu Houzhao had his own countermeasures.
The three of them were scheming and skilled in politics.
No one was smarter than anyone else.
They could only see who was in heaven's will and who could grasp the opportunity better.
Everyone did their best and left it to fate.
The other countries were no different.
How many of those who could dominate a region in the Integrated Martial Arts World were ordinary people?
Of course, the Qing Dynasty ruled by the Empress Dowager was not included.
She said that it was unlucky.
——
"Your Majesty, you're so kind! I will die ten thousand times to avenge myself!"
Guihai Yidao was touched.
He was a martial artist, how could he know so much?
Furthermore,
In his eyes, although his foster father's actions this time were heartbreaking, his image of being loyal to the monarch and patriotic had not changed.
Zhu Bujue was patriotic.
How could it threaten the emperor?
How could the Emperor harm his Imperial Uncle for no reason?
Due to the lack of information and the lack of wisdom in terms of tactics, as a result…He believed Zhu Houzhao's ghost.
Furthermore, he was extremely touched!
This Liyang, should he go or not?
Of course I'm going!
Now that he had the Thousand-faced Playboy and the Emperor to cover for him, what was there to be afraid of?
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of convincing Haitang to change her mind, Guihai Yidao had to try!
"Get up. Zhen doesn't want you to die. Zhen wants you to live well, to accompany Lady Haitang and live well.”Zhu Buduan revealed a kind smile.
"Yes!"
Guihai Yidao nodded heavily.
He thanked her again and again, and with the help of Thousand-faced Playboy, he disguised himself and left the palace.
Looking at Guihai Yidao's departing back,
Zhu Houzhao could not help but sigh,"My good Imperial Uncle, you really make me…" I've put in a lot of effort…"
While I was sighing,
" Your Majesty," said Thousand-faced Playboy," Supervisor Cao recently found two stunning beauties. I wonder…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up."Beauty? Lead the way!"
"Yes, sir!"
Thousand-faced Playboy was delighted.
His heart was filled with disdain.
A fatuous and incompetent ruler was toyed with by Supervisor Cao!
Zhu Houzhao was also sneering in his heart, The world thinks that I am incompetent? Haha, alright, zhen will do as you wish. A fatuous ruler should have the appearance of a fatuous ruler."
