Chu Batian threw the letter in his hand into the charcoal basin on one side, and after a while, the letter was completely burned to black fly ash.

  Looking at Wang Ping's look of anticipation, Chu Batian smiled and answered Wang Ping's question: "So, Ping'er, hurry up and hold the stone lock."

  "Ah."

  "I'm going right now."

  Hearing that Lin Jingzhe was going to see him, Wang Ping grabbed the heavy stone lock that he had just thrown on the ground.

  Holding the stone lock, Wang Ping quickly ran out of the Chinese army tent.

  "It would be great if the old man were twenty years younger."

  Until Wang Ping walked away, the smile on Chu Batian's face began to slowly disappear.

  His brows furrowed quickly.

  He lied to Wang Ping just now, although the letter sent by Lin Jingzhe also mentioned Wang Ping.

  But it's another matter.

  Regarding the purge of officials within the Qing court, Lin Jingzhe wrote to him in order to get Chu Batian to cooperate and help him at a critical moment.

  "Hopefully this time it goes well."

  While thinking about the action plan proposed by Lin Jingzhe, Chu Batian became a little worried.

  But even though he was worried, he didn't flinch or hesitate. When he saw Lin Jingzhe's plan for the first time, he made a decision and started preparing and arranging according to what Lin Jingzhe said.

  . . . . . .

  "The atmosphere in the courtroom today is a little strange."

  Wang De walked slowly into the courtyard from outside the door.

  Looking at Chu Xianglan who was cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard, he took off his official uniform and handed it over to Chu Xianglan, while telling Chu Xianglan about what he saw in the court today: "A lot of people are not normal Seeing that my officials actually took the initiative to say hello to me today."

  "I always feel that the eyes they look at me are a little weird."

  After helping her husband hang up his clothes, Chu Xianglan brought a glass of water to Wang De, who was sweating profusely.

  After taking a fan and fanning Wang De, Chu Xianglan spoke to Wang De: "I heard that the third prince was poisoned to death."

  "You said that those who greeted you had something to do with this matter?"

  After drinking a sip of tea, Wang De's eyes lit up when he heard his wife's words, and he said with some humor, "Could those guys have something to do with me in the death of the Third Prince?"

  After staying in the Ministry of War for a few days, Wang De actually had some regrets.

  Compared with the previous time in the Hanlin Academy, as long as he thought about how to teach the royal family's studies well, when the emperor issued an edict, he helped to write the edict, and his day's work could be completely announced.

  But in the Ministry of War, he not only had to deal with a lot of things, but also always beware of various traps set up by his colleagues.

  Just two days after taking office, Wang De personally saw a small military official who had offended a principal, and he accidentally said a wrong sentence and was sent to the sky prison.

  It is said that evidence of rebellion was found in the small official's house later.

  Wang De intentionally wanted to help the little official, but when he finally checked the file, he found that there were all physical and human evidence.

  Even in the end, he himself, who had just started to complain, admitted the fact that he rebelled.

  Watching this extremely dark scene, Wang De couldn't help feeling exhausted physically and mentally.

  "I want to resign."

  Sitting in the chair, Wang De thought for a while, and then expressed his thoughts to Chu Xianglan.

  "Then resign and come back."

  "There is no shortage of clothes and drinks at home now. It's also good for you to come back and be a private tutor."

  Chu Xianglan then fanned Wang De and nodded slightly. Recently, she kept hearing that her husband was awakened by a nightmare and wanted Wang De to come back to cultivate, but Wang De never let go.

  Now that Wang De herself proposed to come back, she was naturally very happy.

  Fanning her husband, Chu Xianglan rarely put on a gentle smile on her face: "It's better than worrying about it every day. I don't expect you to be so powerful. It's good that the family is safe and sound."

  "I suddenly feel a little bit of peace."

  Wang De nodded slightly, he decided to wait for his son to come back, he would discuss with Lin Jingzhe about resigning.

  Hearing Chu Xianglan's words, Wang De couldn't help thinking of Wang Ping, his son who was sent out to be Chu Anbang's stepson.

  Remember the past.

  When Wang Ping and Wang An were both young, even though their family was not very wealthy at that time, they were rushing to eat as a family.

  But every day when I come back from the Hanlin Academy, I see my two sons sitting on the threshold waiting for me to come back.

  Wang De felt extremely happy and satisfied.

  "An'er told me."

  "At the end of the year, I will bring Ping'er back."

  Chu Xianglan looked at her husband as a little daughter, and she couldn't help laughing.

  Stopping the folding fan in her hand, Chu Xianglan suddenly remembered what her second child had said to herself: "When the time comes, our family will never be separated again."

  "The old man will definitely not agree."

  Hearing his wife's words, Wang De was overjoyed at first, and then smiled bitterly. He knew his father-in-law very well.

  Never suffer.

  "An'er said, leave this to him."

  . . . . . .

  "My lord, our people have gathered to Yedu one after another."

  "General Li and their troops have already moved out, and before the celebration begins, they can reach the outer city."

  In front of Zhou Yan, a middle-aged man dressed as an old farmer knelt down on one knee and reported the news to him.

  Over the years, Zhou Yan has secretly formed his own forces in all parts of Da Zhou, in order to one day ascend to the throne. .

Chapter 194

  This time he decided to act on Zhou Xuan's birthday to force Zhou Xuan to abdicate and give the throne to him.

  Originally, according to Zhou Yan's plan, he was going to wait for the Chu family to be completely dealt with before taking things up.

  After all, if the Chu family doesn't solve it, even if he ascends the throne at that time, he will probably face questions from Chu Batian, who is in charge of an army of [-] people.

  However, after some thought, Zhou Yan finally decided to launch the plan ahead of schedule.

  Lately, he has been feeling uneasy in his heart.

  This feeling made Zhou Yan feel extremely uncomfortable, and there were many dreams at night, and Zhou Yan didn't want to wait any longer.

  He has been waiting for this day for [-] years, and he can feel that his body is getting worse every year.

  He didn't want to wait for him to ascend to the throne at an old age. At that time, being an emperor would be completely meaningless.

  And at his age, the so-called rights he is actually not so obsessed with.

  What he wanted was an item in the secret vault of the Great Zhou royal family.

  The reason why Zhou Yan knew the existence of that thing was because of a secret that he only learned after digging the tombs of his ancestors in order to build his power.

  There is a picture in the royal vault, and that picture hides the secret of becoming an immortal.

  "Order to go down and let them hibernate outside the city."

  "Before the celebration begins, be sure not to be discovered by anyone."

  Zhou Yan was playing with a short dagger in his hand.

  In front of him was a row of jars filled with babies, and I saw him reciting formulas.

  Suddenly the dagger in his hand flew out, and finally hovered among the many babies. Those babies who were still ruddy in a short period of time became completely sucked into skeletons.

  'It's done. '

  I grasped the dagger that was parked in mid-air, and felt the strange energy fluctuations above the dagger.

  Zhou Yan couldn't help but smile.

  This is a sacrificial training method he obtained in the ancient tomb, which can endow weapons with extraordinary abilities.

  Although it can only be stimulated once, it is enough for Zhou Yan.

  With this dagger trained with immortal arts, Zhou Yan has a little more confidence in this move.

  . . . . . .

  late at night.

  Lin Jingzhe stayed in the palace until very late before returning to his home.

  When he got home, Lin Jingzhe went back to his room after saying goodbye to his parents.

  "The second leaf has grown up"..."

  Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Jingzhe closed his eyes and activated his recovered mental power.

  Soon he found the small tree in a space in his mind.

  The small sapling transformed by the Heaven Repairing Technique has doubled the amount of qi it can emit after having one more leaf.

  After this period of understanding, Lin Jingzhe could be considered to understand where the gas produced by this small seedling went in the end.

  Entering Lin Jingzhe's body.

  To be precise, it entered the weak part of Lin Jingzhe's body.

  Unlike the evolutionary crystallization of the fifth generation, which prioritized strengthening the powerful parts of the body, the gas generated by the sky-replenishing technique was strengthened first from the weaker parts.

  The first thing Lin Jingzhe was strengthened was his eyes.

  After this short period of strengthening, Lin Jingzhe's eyes and pupils seemed to have grown a layer of film.

  Although this layer of film was very thin, Lin Jingzhe could feel it. This layer of film was extremely tough.
