Chapter 70

Seven days later, the sun was shining brightly.

"Hoof, hoof-"

"Sorry-"

Outside the capital, among the mighty ranks, there were sounds of horse crowing from time to time.

A pure white horse is located in the middle of the team, on which sits a graceful and handsome young man with a white cloak behind his back and a long sword hanging around his waist. The eunuch's unique silver-white python robe, just the skin, might cause the capital to shake, and let countless Huaichun girls come to watch.

Around the white horse, there are all black and red horses accompanying them, and the figures on the horses are also extraordinary, and their majestic and majestic aura is daunting.

Yan Shisan, Ding Xiu and other masters of the West Factory, as well as the Taibao of Jinyiwei, are all among them.

People from the West Factory opened the way in front, and Jin Yiwei in flying fish suits behind them. It was densely packed, and it seemed that there were at least thousands of people.

This trip was different from the past, the purpose was to rectify the rivers and lakes, so Yuhuatian did not hide his whereabouts, and even made the platoon bigger on purpose.

He just wanted to let the people in the Jianghu know that he was out of the capital. By the way, he could see if he could attract some enemies from the Jianghu people and catch them all in one go, so as to make an example to the monkeys and calm down the chaos in the Jianghu as soon as possible.

Seeing such a big battle in Xichang, there were dense crowds of onlookers standing around, but fearing the prestige of Xichang, no one dared to approach, and even the voice of whispering was very small.

In this era, people's awe of officials is deep in their bones, especially the eunuchs who control the court today, they are even more afraid of them.

If they offend the officials, they may still have a place to redress their grievances, but once they offend the cruel eunuchs, they will not even have a chance to redress their grievances.

"Ta Tata..."

Under the eyes of countless people who hate and fear, the team left the capital and gradually headed south.

It wasn't until the team completely disappeared that the voice of discussion gradually became louder:

"These dogs have such a big support, what are they going to do?"

"What good things can these eunuchs do, someone must suffer..."

"Looking at the banner, it seems to be the people of Xichang. I heard that some treasure was born in the northwest desert a few days ago, and many people died. Also, there was a big incident in the capital recently. It is said that even King Xin was arrested. It seems that things are all caused by the West Factory."

"Isn't that right, no official is a good person, but these eunuchs are even more hateful than those officials!"

"No matter what they do, it's us ordinary people who will suffer in the end, this fucking era!"

"Ugh……"

...

Discussions are endless, full of hatred and resentment, even if there is an occasional remark that the behavior of the West Factory is better than that of the East Factory, it will soon be drowned in the discussion.

And as the people from the West Factory left, among the crowd, one after another sneaky figures quietly withdrew from the crowd and disappeared into the streets and alleys.

……

Royal Palace.

After several days of recuperation, Zhu Youxiao's body has recovered a lot, and he can start to deal with government affairs.

At this time, Zhu Youjiao was reviewing the memorial in Qianqing Palace, and Cao Zhengchun stood beside him with his hands down respectfully.

The hall was quiet, except for the "swish" sound of the pen touching the paper.

"Tap-"

But at this moment, a young eunuch walked in quickly, not daring to disturb Zhu Youxiao, but leaned close to Cao Zhengchun and whispered a few words.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed strangely after hearing this, and then he waved his hands. The little eunuch retreated respectfully without saying a word.

And Cao Zhengchun came to Zhu Youxiao, took advantage of Zhu Youxiao's interval of changing the memorial, respectfully saluted, and said:
"Report to the emperor, Mr. Xichang Yu, has brought people out of the city."

Zhu Youxiao frowned, then continued to read the memorial, and said while reading:
"Oh? It seems that he has almost cultivated himself. Who did he take away?"

Cao Zhengchun replied:
"The main force of the West Factory has been taken away, as well as the eight thousand households in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, with about 8000 people."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly: "Clean up some disobedient Jianghu forces, this number of people should be almost enough..."

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked up at him, pondered a little, and said:

"I promised Yuhuatian that Dongchang would help him. You should go too and cooperate with him."

Cao Zhengchun bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the rivers and lakes have not been peaceful recently, especially in the past few days when Xichang was investigating the case of the emperor falling into the water. The servants and servants heard that there was a big war in the south of the city, and thousands of people died. It cannot be left alone to guard, the servants should stay with the emperor to protect the emperor, rectify the Jianghu matter, with Eunuch Yu's ability, it should be a matter of hand."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand slightly:
"I've also heard that these thieves in the rivers and lakes have become very rampant recently, so I made up my mind to set up rules for them so that they will not be lawless."

"You go, this time you obey Yuhuatian's order and cooperate with him."

Cao Zhengchun's heart sank. He knew that Yuhuatian successfully brought back the treasure last time, which made the emperor happy, but he didn't expect that Yuhuatian's status in the emperor's heart was so important before he knew it.

You know, Dongchang and Xichang are at the same level, and they only obey the emperor's orders.

But this time the emperor asked him to obey Yuhuatian's order, which shows that in the emperor's heart, the west factory is more important than the east factory.

It's not good for him to go on like this.

"But Your Majesty, your safety is also very important..."

Cao Zhengchun hesitated for a while, and continued to speak, he still wanted to fight for it.

If he was allowed to do things alone, he would love it.

But if he really obeyed Yuhuatian's order this time, it might be difficult for him to raise his head in front of Yuhuatian in the future.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned. He looked at Cao Zhengchun, after a little thought, he understood his thoughts, and his eyes narrowed slightly:

"I asked you to cooperate with the Xichang operation, are you very upset?"

Cao Zhengchun's complexion changed slightly, he quickly knelt down, and said with a look of panic:

"I don't dare, this old slave is only worried about the safety of the emperor. After all, the emperor is the lord of my Ming Dynasty, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and is extremely honorable. Although it is important to rectify the Jianghu, in the heart of this old slave, the safety of the emperor is more important!"

"Ah……"

Zhu Youxiao sneered, and said: "Don't play sloppy with me, I know what you think very well."

"Cao Zhengchun, let me tell you, it's not that I haven't given you the opportunity. In my heart, it doesn't matter whether the east factory or the west factory has the same weight. Whoever can do good things for me, I will use whoever. Stay by my side every day. It's useless to wait!"

"As for my safety... don't you think that without your protection, there will be no one around me?!"

wow——

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, a huge aura enveloped Cao Zhengchun in an instant.

Cao Zhengchun's body trembled, his pupils shrank suddenly, and cold sweat broke out instantly. He never realized where this aura came from.

And the power is far beyond his imagination!
That is to say, besides him, there is also a strange strong man who has been guarding the emperor's side.

And this person's strength is so strong that even he can't find it!
While his mind was turning, Cao Zhengchun didn't even have the courage to look up, his forehead was pressed against the ground, and he tremblingly said:

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and the terrifying aura dissipated instantly. Cao Zhengchun's body relaxed, and his whole body almost collapsed on the ground.

Looking at his frightened appearance for the rest of his life, Zhu Youxiao didn't continue to embarrass him, but he didn't give him any good looks. He waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Go, cooperate with Yuhuatian and handle the matter well. You better not disappoint me!"

"Yes, the old slave is retiring."

Cao Zhengchun didn't dare to say any more unnecessary words. After standing up and saluting, Cao Zhengchun cautiously exited the hall.

After leaving the main hall, Cao Zhengchun realized that he was drenched in cold sweat.

After leaving a hundred meters away, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace, his eyes were full of fear and surprise.

He has lived in the deep palace for decades, but he has never discovered that there is such a terrifying powerhouse guarding the palace. No wonder for hundreds of years, no matter how chaotic the world is, this palace has always been regarded as a treasure by the people of the world. Forbidden land, I dare not step half a step...

"Fortunately, our family has never had any wrong thoughts about the emperor, otherwise, I'm afraid that I would die without knowing how to die..."

Cao Zhengchun suddenly felt a little fortunate in his heart, the slight contempt for the imperial palace that he had originally had disappeared without a trace at this moment.

No matter which era, imperial power is always supreme!
It is not unreasonable to be able to control a country...

Shaking his head, Cao Zhengchun sighed in a low voice, not daring to have any other thoughts, he quickly left the palace and headed for Dongchang.

And what he didn't know was.

Just before he left Qianqing Palace, a ghostly figure quietly appeared in the hall.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to be used to this for a long time, and there was no surprised expression on his face. Instead, he nodded respectfully to this figure: "Old Zheng."

The man in black nodded to Zhu Youxiao in return, then looked in the direction Cao Zhengchun left, frowned slightly, and said:

"This Cao Zhengchun was grown up by the old slave. He thought he was a good man, but unexpectedly, he also had a dirty mind. He dared to play tricks in front of the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "It's just human nature. Generally speaking, he is still loyal to me. In other respects, there is nothing wrong with being a little selfish. Just hit him once in a while."

"Too……"

The man in black nodded slightly: "Compared to Xichang Yuhuatian, Cao Zhengchun is indeed much easier to control."

A hint of surprise appeared in Zhu Youxiao's eyes: "Old Zheng means that Yuhuatian is more difficult to control than Cao Zhengchun?"

The man in black nodded and said: "The old servant has carefully observed this person. Although this person is loyal and very low-key in front of the emperor, this person's ambition is far greater than this Cao Zhengchun."

Zhu Youxiao frowned. He didn't expect Mr. Zheng to have such a high opinion of Yuhuatian.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the old man: "Then Mr. Zheng thinks, will he endanger my Ming Dynasty in the future?"

The old man pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "This person is very good at hiding, and he can't see anything for the time being, but he is a crippled body, and the power in his hand comes from the emperor, so he should not endanger the emperor or Daming, and do his own thing. Digging graves."

"What's more, there is an old slave here, if he really dares to do something outrageous, the old slave can immediately abolish him, the emperor doesn't need to worry."

Zhu Youxiao frowned a little, nodded, and said, "I'm worrying too much. With Mr. Zheng guarding me, I can sit back and relax. It's just that Mr. Zheng has guarded my Daming royal family for hundreds of years. I have to trouble Mr. Zheng for everything, I really feel uneasy."

The old man gave a relieved smile, cupped his hands and said: "The old slave has received the grace of the ancestors, and it will be hard to repay it forever. What he did is only the part of the old slave. The emperor does not need to blame himself..."

……

at the same time.

South of the city, Hulong Villa.

Zhu ignored the information that the spies had just sent, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Rectify the rivers and lakes?"

"If you're in the capital, this king might have nothing to do with you, but if you're out of the capital, you can't help it!"

"It's true that there is a way to heaven if you don't go..."

Zhu ignored the cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes, looked to the south, and murmured in a low voice.

This time in the South Street Moon Night battle, Yuhuatian used the guru realm to defeat Huo Xiu, the veteran grand master of Tsing Yi Building, which already made him feel threatened.

Coupled with the investigation of the emperor's drowning case this time, he and Yu Huatian were blatantly torn apart.

Once Yuhuatian grows up, it will seriously threaten his status in the court, and may even affect his plans.

Therefore, Zhu Wushi has been looking for opportunities to completely get rid of this serious problem.

And this time Yuhuatian led the order to go out of Beijing to rectify the rivers and lakes, in his opinion, it was a golden opportunity...

After contemplating for a moment, Zhu Wushi turned around and walked to the desk, spread out a blank sheet of paper, and picked up a pen to write.

Swish~

After a while, Zhu ignored the pen and folded the written letterhead into a strip of paper, then took out a carrier pigeon from the other side, tied the note to the pigeon's leg, went to the door and let the pigeon fly.

"Plop, flop—"

Watching the carrier pigeon slowly disappear into the night sky, Zhu Wushi turned his head and took a deep look at the southern sky, his eyes were cold:
"Fortunately, you have offended so many forces, otherwise I really don't know who to turn to to deal with you."

"This time, I will see whether you will die or not..."
