n

n

n

nThe world was in turmoil.

n

nThe Imperial Palace was covered in dark clouds, making it hard for people to breathe.

n

nHowever, the library was not affected at all because He Chuan was there.

n

nHe sat in front of the Go board at the square table and played chess with himself.

n

nRecently, Princess Changning and Prince Cheng’an had not come to the library.

n

nThe rebellion of the eight vassal kings greatly affected his life.

n

n“I wonder how the two little fellows are doing?” He Chuan muttered to himself.

n

nAlthough he did not want to interfere with the matters of the imperial court and the Alliance Army of the vassal kings, he was still a little worried.

n

nHe still could not let go of the matter.

n

nNormal conflicts between the factions would not occur on a large scale.

n

nThe struggle for Imperial Power was different. If Zhou Shimin had failed, all of his children would not had a good ending.

n

nTroublesome!

n

nHe Chuan sighed helplessly. He had previously warned himself not to get involved, but he was unable to do so at the last minute.

n

nIt was a contradictory problem.

n

nHe had always pursued the path of cultivation and state of mind at the same time so that he would not go crazy when he broke through.

n

nRecently, his state of mind seemed to have fluctuated slightly.

n

nIt was obvious that he had been disturbed by matters in the outside world.

n

nThe fluctuation in the state of mind of a saint cultivator was not a small matter.

n

nIt seemed that he needed to resolve this matter and continue his cultivation to prevent problems from occurring during the breakthrough.

n

nHe Chuan made up his mind. He knew that he did not want anything to happen to the two little fellows.

n

nIf the current situation continued to develop, there was a high possibility that the Imperial Army would be defeated.

n

nAt that time, the eight vassal kings would definitely fight for Imperial Power, and it would affect the library. He would not have any peaceful days anymore.

n

nThe best way was to solve the problem from the root.

n

n“Little Eunuch He! An order came from the palace. Everyone must gather at the Martial Arts Bureau immediately, or they will lose their head!” The young Eunuch who delivered the message ran over breathlessly. It was evident that the matter was very urgent.

n

nHe Chuan has always stayed in the library and never showed his face.

n

nHowever, Zhou Shimin valued him very much. Every time he came here to study, he had to accompany him.

n

nPrincess Changning and Prince Cheng’an were very close to He Chuan, so the eunuchs and maids in the palace didn’t dare to yell at him.

n

n“Do you know what this is about?” With He Chuan’s strength, he naturally didn’t care about the threat.

n

nSince he decided to interfere in this matter, he would first ask about it.

n

nNo matter who he spoke to, he would speak in a gentle voice.

n

nEven if you were the lowest of the palace maids and eunuchs, he wouldn’t look down on them in the slightest.

n

nWhen talking to the Emperor, he would also not lower his voice.

n

nThe palace maids and eunuchs felt comfortable getting along with He Chuan.

n

nHis philosophy was very simple. Is there anyone who is born to be a king, a duke, a general or a minister?

n

nNo one was born to be superior to others, and no one was born to be inferior to others.

n

nRecently, he had no interest in listening to the situation in the palace, so he did not know much about what had happened recently.

n

nQuietly reading books and cultivating in the library was his favorite thing to do recently.

n

n“Sigh, Eunuch He, you don’t know. Right now, there are rumors in the palace and outside of the palace that His Majesty has been poisoned and is unconscious. In addition, the Alliance Army of the eight vassal kings will attack the capital. The Martial Arts Bureau will arrange for us all to undergo systematic training and go to the battlefield to fight against the Alliance Army!” The young Eunuch who passed the message explained with a frown.

n

nIn his opinion, going to the battlefield was no different from sending himself to death.

n

nIf it weren’t for the severe martial law in the capital recently, he would have even wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

n

n“Little Eunuch He, you should also make preparations. After all, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield.” After delivering the message, the Eunuch turned around and rushed to the next place to inform.

n

nHe Chuan was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Zhou Shimin to be willing to take such a huge risk and come up with such a plan.

n

nHe didn’t know if the plan would succeed.

n

nOf course, this little trick could not be hidden from He Chuan.

n

nHe wanted to see what tricks the Emperor could play first. If he really could not change the situation, then it would not be too late for him to help.

n

nAs for the matter of going to the Martial Arts Bureau, he was not in a hurry.

n

nHe had only read half of the book in his hand. He wanted to finish reading first.

n

nMartial Arts Bureau.

n

nIn the martial arts practice field, there were about two thousand eunuchs.

n

nThe eunuchs who were assigned here basically had no power or connections. That was why they were sent to the battlefield.

n

nIn the current situation, it was definitely not suitable to send money.

n

n“He Chuan!” The blue-robed Eunuch held the name list in his hand and shouted at the team.

n

n“He Chuan?”

n

nThere was still no response.

n

n“Eunuch Liu, it’s Little Eunuch He from the library pavilion. He is usually very close to the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince,” The Eunuch in charge of managing the affairs said in a low voice.

n

nEunuch Liu frowned.

n

nAlthough He Chuan was the lowest level of the gray-robed Eunuch, he did not dare to interfere if he could gain the favor of the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince.

n

nIn any case, one more was not much, and one less was not much.

n

nIt was fine to pretend not to know.

n

nNow that the Emperor had been poisoned and was unconscious, the Crown Prince would probably propose to take charge of the court affairs.

n

nThen He Chuan’s status would definitely rise with the tide, and it was not impossible for him to become an important person.

n

nIn time, he might even have to turn around and flatter him.

n

nHowever, he was definitely a little jealous in his heart.

n

nHe Chuan was still leisurely reading in the library, and he did not know what the blue-robed Eunuch was thinking.

n

nEven if he knew, he would not care.

n

nWith his current strength, no one in the palace was his match.

n

nIn the entire world, he probably did not have many opponents.

n

n…

n

nThe Eight Vassal King’s Alliance army continued to break through like a hot knife through butter.

n

nThey broke through several cities.

n

nThey were now less than 500 miles away from the capital.

n

nHundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounded the entire capital

n

nHowever, the Alliance Army did not attack.

n

nThe capital walls of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been strengthened for several generations. They were tens of meters tall and were easy to defend but hard to attack.

n

nNormal catapults and siege weapons would not be able to cause any damage.

n

nFurthermore, the 100 thousand Imperial Guards were not just for show. As the last line of defense to protect the emperors, they were all elites that had been chosen.

n

nIt would be very difficult to break through.

n

nThe Alliance Army had used all sorts of strategies and methods, but the capital was as solid as an iron bucket.

n

nIt would be difficult to break down from the inside.

n

nThe only thing left was to attack.

n

nJust as the Alliance Army was about to attack, the rumored unconscious Zhou Shimin suddenly appeared.

n

nThe Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty stood on the city wall, his face solemn as he personally came to command the battle!

n

nThe Emperor personally led the troops, and the soldiers’ fighting spirit was immediately mobilized.

n

nCheers resounded throughout the capital.

n

nBecause the pillar of support had arrived.

n

nWhen the eight vassal kings, who were filled with confidence just a moment ago, saw Zhou Shimin suddenly appear, their hearts skipped a beat.

n

nDidn’t they say that Zhou Shimin was poisoned and unconscious? Why would he appear here?

n

nFacing the imperial court’s army, whose morale was high, the morale of the Alliance Army suddenly dropped.

n

n“We can only use the second plan!” Abbot Huitong squinted his eyes and said.

n

nThis Abbot of the Shaolin Temple had the strength of Xiantian ninth stage. It was rumored that he was just one step away from becoming a saint cultivator.

n

nMoreover, as one of the great forces from Mount Tai in the martial arts world, his words carried a lot of weight.

n

n“It seems that this is the only way.” Daoist Tieling was unwilling. He did not expect that the Heart Devouring Pill could not even take Zhou Shimin’s life.

n

n“Disciples of the seven major sects, gather together and prepare to help the alliance force the city!”Abbot Huitong did not look like a monk at all.

n

nFaced with the impending massacre, he did not feel any fluctuations in his heart.

n

nHe Chuan sat in the Scripture Pavilion, but his consciousness could cover the entire capital.

n

nIt turned out that the Zhou Dynasty’s capital had a very secret formation.

n

nIf one did not investigate, one would not be able to sense it.
