Chapter 19: World Martial Arts Ranking
"What else?"

Zhang Gui raised his eyebrows and sniffed the faint smell of blood in the yard. His deep eyes looked towards the medicinal field in the courtyard which was slightly higher and had been renovated.

Just now, someone died.

This is the smell of human blood.

"nothing."

"It was just that a little eunuch insisted that I stole his things, so he punched me twice and died first."

Seeing that it was really Zhang Gui, Su Chen responded.

What he said is true.

Eunuch Wu Chen, didn't he come up and punch him twice, but ended up dying from the poison entering his lungs?
Hearing that he was just an ordinary eunuch, Zhang Gui did not care. He had killed countless people and had tens of thousands of lives on his hands. However, he could never have imagined that this so-called little eunuch was of the same level as him, the deputy general manager, the top third-rank eunuch Wu Chen.

This time, there will be another eunuch in power in the palace.

"Emperor Jianwu called all five general managers over. What did they talk about?"

Su Chen asked.

"The World Martial Arts Ranking is feasible."

"I'll take this job!"

Zhang Guiyan is concise and to the point.

He had a paranoid hatred towards Daliang. Even though the old emperor was dead, he still wanted to seize power, become the first supervisor of the Purple Robe, stir up trouble in the world, and bring disaster to Daliang.

Looking at the coldness hidden deep in Zhang Gui's eyes, Su Chen's heart began to beat fast. He had a vague feeling that Zhang Gui's departure from the palace and his trip to the martial arts world would inevitably set off the prelude to chaos.

Faced with such a great opportunity, he did not confiscate the property and exterminate the clan, and force the powerful gangs to become resentful of the imperial court. He would have been truly unworthy of the opportunity given to him by Emperor Jianwu.

"Can I not go?"

What responded to Su Chen was the determination in Zhang Gui's eyes in silence.

"I'll write to you."

As if he didn't want to give Su Chen a chance to say more, Zhang Gui finished speaking, dressed in a fiery red robe, and was about to leave.

Looking at Zhang Gui who was about to leave and Xu Xiaohan who was jogging towards them, Su Chen remembered something, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Golden Palace, and suddenly asked.

"Is the old Emperor Tianwu really dead?"

Zhang Gui's figure seemed to pause suddenly, and he quickly disappeared into the distance.

really.

Su Chen's heart suddenly sank.

The bad suspicions in my mind became stronger and stronger.

According to rumors, half a year ago, one of the two white-robed dragon princes who died in the killing of the Wuwei guards survived. Is it possible that the old emperor Tianwu, whose corpse he had never seen, is still alive...

This world is infested with demons and monsters, and there are many strange and mysterious techniques, including heart-changing techniques. It is not impossible to fake your own death and escape.

Zhang Gui must know a lot of secrets.

Unfortunately.

He was unwilling to speak.

"Master Su, what do you mean by asking..."

Xu Xiaohan spoke tremblingly.

The old emperor Tianwu is not dead?

"It's just a guess, don't take it seriously."

Su Chen laughed it off and got away with it.

……

Time flies.

A year passed in a flash.

The twenty-fifth year of Tianwu.

Do not!
should say.

January of the first year of Jianwu.

The fifth prince, Emperor Jianwu, was the true legitimate son who wore the white dragon robe during the reign of the old Emperor Tianwu. He was recognized by the Tianwu Tower and was the crown prince.

But the old emperor was absurd and bestowed three White Dragon Prince robes at once.

Since January of the first year, Emperor Jianwu stepped into the Tianwu Tower alone. After gaining the recognition of many first-class masters from past dynasties in the Tianwu Tower, the edict of the dragon throne immediately spread throughout Daliang.

The whole country celebrates!

In January, the reign title was officially changed to the Jianwu period.

Emperor Jianwu worked hard to govern the country, selected virtuous ministers, won over generals, and consolidated the nobles. For a time, the new dynasty had a new look, and there was even a trend of revival of Daliang.

The originally crazy Concubine Liang was directly transformed into Empress Dowager Liang. The eunuchs and many palace maids who served in the cold palace were all sentenced to death. The rest of the eunuchs were also affected.

In the imperial palace, a new group of eunuchs were promoted to supervise affairs, and a new group of eunuchs entered the palace.

However, none of this could disturb Su Chen's tranquility.

"Master Su, you presented His Majesty with a brilliant plan for the World Martial Ranking, but you were only given the powerless title of a red-robed steward. This is too..."

Xu Xiaohan is already twenty years old.

In the library, people were feeling indignant on behalf of Su Chen.

This world is the world of practitioners.

The purple-robed First Supervisor with a white-haired face and a youthful appearance was unable to send Su Chen on the path of cultivation even through his own efforts. Even Emperor Jianwu had no intention of using Su Chen again.

This was exactly what Su Chen wanted.

In the library.

After nearly a year of renovation, the courtyard on the first floor was once again filled with exotic flowers and plants, and the charming fragrance, with a strong toxic flavor, permeated the entire library.

After lunch, Su Chen glanced at Xu Xiaohan who was chattering and reminded him.

"It's time for you to go."

This was well-intentioned. If more time passed, Xu Xiaohan, who had just reached the fourth level, would show signs of poisoning. By then, it would be too much trouble to trouble him to use medicine to save him.

After Xu Xiaohan left.

Su Chen unfolded the letter in his hand. It was a letter from Zhang Gui, the head of the East Factory.

Zhang Gui said he could write letters, and indeed he did, two letters a month, every month.

In just one year, the martial arts rankings of the world, which collected the top masters in the martial arts world, have been successfully established. It has been quite effective and has successfully made the three major factions in the martial arts world become enemies.

At the same time, the East Factory Master, who had been searching for rare treasures, classics and secret medicines for Emperor Jianwu, traveled all over the nine counties, and had also confiscated many families! Indistinctly, there were signs that he would replace the previous Purple Robe First Supervisor and obtain the title of Nine Thousand Years Old.

"Zhang Gui is now a second-rank official!"

"Just last night, he was officially promoted to the position of Grand Chamberlain! In charge of the Martial Arts Bureau, his East Factory will have a steady supply of manpower from now on."

"A 25-year-old second-rank master! The Emperor Jianwu will value him even more."

"More than respect."

"I'm afraid there will still be fear!"

"But before clearing away the hidden dangers left by the old emperor and the deposed emperor, Emperor Jianwu will not take action against Zhang Gui. After all, this is a sword he deliberately made..."

Su Chen took a look at the contents and threw it into the bamboo basket next to his feet. The basket was filled with dozens of letters.

Su Chen did not reply to any of the dozens of letters, mainly because he did not know what to reply.

Emperor Jianwu was very capable.

Not only was he diligent in his government affairs, he also reviewed memorials in the imperial study until late at night every day. In order to win over his ministers, he would take concubines every month and was also extremely hardworking in cultivating and sowing seeds in the harem.

December of the first year of Jianwu.

winter!
The snow is falling.

The entire imperial city was covered in silver.

The first prince was born.

Then another princess was born.

Emperor Jianwu issued a general amnesty, and not only the entire palace, but the entire imperial city was celebrating.

Even in the library, Su Chen felt the joy. Gazing at the imperial palace in the distance, he could vaguely see many ministers, generals, and nobles congratulating Emperor Jianwu at a banquet.

The snow is getting heavier.

During this year, Su Chen continued to practice "Ben Lei Ao Ti" in the yard. After one set, fifty-four thunderous sounds exploded all over his body.

"Two years of training, fifty-four thunders, probably the middle stage of the tendon and bone realm."

Haven't made a move for a long time.

Su Chen also didn't know how strong he was now.

Perhaps, it is possible that a weak third-grade being can be killed with a flick of the finger.

"Nothing good will happen until the end of the year when it snows. Who knows what this year will be like?"

Su Chen was thinking.

next moment.

A group of fast horses galloped into the imperial city and went straight to the Golden Palace.

"Report!"

"Nanyang County has rebelled!"
