Chapter 20 Misunderstanding
Nanyang County rebelled.

It was the last month of the first year of Jianwu.

Zhang Gui also disappeared in Nanyang County, within the territory of Xuanyang Sect, one of the three major sects in the martial arts world.

"Master Su, will godfather..."

Xu Xiaohan was a little frightened.

In the palace.

The eunuch faction is roughly divided into three factions.

There is the Purple Robe First Supervisor, the East Factory Martial Arts Bureau, and the rest of the Red Robe Chief's subordinates.

In recent years, the Shangwu Bureau has been flourishing thanks to Zhang Gui.

The backbone is Zhang Gui, a 24-year-old second-rank official.

If Zhang Gui died.

There is no telling how many people will die in the factional strife. As Zhang Gui's godson, Xu Xiaohan is bound to not be able to escape.

these years.

The East Factory had offended too many civil and military officials, as well as the red-robed eunuchs.

"No, he is a second-grade one, he can't die."

That being said.

Another week passed.

Inside the palace, someone started spreading the news of Zhang Gui's death. The people in the Shangwu Bureau were in a panic. The other red-robed stewards pounced on them like hungry wolves and reached their hands into the Shangwu Bureau.

Nanyang County rebelled!
Zhang Gui disappeared in Nanyang County.

It's hard not to make people think about it.

"Several of my godfather's godsons have defected and joined the other red-robed stewards."

"Master Su, what should I do!"

"Several of my brothers were killed for no apparent reason. The rest who disobeyed were also sentenced to a fate worse than death in the water dungeon. So, it should be my turn this afternoon."

Xu Xiaohan came here in a daze.

As a man of only fourth rank, he was no different from an ant in front of the Grand Chamberlain, who could be crushed to death at any time.

then.

The next day, Xu Xiaohan did not show up again.

The person who brought food to Su Chen turned out to be an ordinary little eunuch in black.

"Eunuch Su, eat."

The little eunuch in black, with a forced smile on his face, unfolded the food box, revealing the food inside: a bowl of white rice, a portion of pickles, and a bowl of porridge.

Everyone thought that Zhang Gui had died in Nanyang County, and they couldn't wait to divide up the cake he left behind in the palace and eliminate dissidents.

Su Chen, the useless guy in the library and Zhang Gui's sworn brother, was naturally also among those who were excluding dissidents.

"Where's Xu Xiaohan?"

Su Chen put the book in his hand aside and stared at the little eunuch in black with cold eyes.

He doesn't want to kill anyone.

But that doesn't mean he won't kill people.

White rice, pickles, and a bowl of porridge, what a humiliation!
"hehe!"

"The meal has been delivered."

"The little one will leave now."

The dark-skinned eunuch did not take Su Chen seriously at all. He sneered and prepared to leave without paying any attention to Su Chen.

"stop!"

"Let me ask another question."

"never mind."

"I won't ask anymore. Just go and die."

Su Chen stood up and broke off a leaf.

"Oh, a useless person..."

The dark-haired eunuch sneered and wanted to say something.

In this palace, everyone knows that the red-robed steward in the library is a useless person who cannot open up his meridians for cultivation even with the help of the purple-robed first supervisor.

however.

This leaf was like the sharpest knife, cutting off his head.

"I'll go find it myself!"

Two years later.

December 7th, the first year of Jianwu.

The snow is falling.

Just when the entire palace was in chaos because of the rebellion in Nanyang County.

Su Chen stepped out of the library, full of murderous intent, and headed straight for the Martial Arts Bureau.

The moon is bright and the sky is clear.

Under the bright moonlight.

Su Chen put on the red robe bestowed by Emperor Jianwu on the manager of the library and knocked on the door of a room in the Shangwu Bureau.

"who!"

Inside the house, the five deputy general managers who were discussing how to divide up the hundreds of eunuchs practicing in the Shangwu Bureau all changed their expressions at once.

They are all third-grade masters.

It was unbelievable that someone could approach them quietly and silently, and they didn't notice until someone knocked on the door.

Could it be that the person coming is a second-rank official?
"Where is Xu Xiaohan?"

Seeing that no one answered the door when he knocked, Su Chen pushed it open and walked in.

"Greetings, Mr. Chief Steward..." When they saw the red robe, the five deputy chief stewards instinctively wanted to salute. After all, the red robe was completely different from the deputy chief stewards' uniforms they were wearing. It was an outfit that only the chief steward in a red robe could wear.

however.

When they saw the person coming, they immediately stood up and looked at him with disdain.

They almost forgot that in addition to their five respective masters and five general stewards, there was a sixth red-robed person in the palace...

"The useless person in the library!"

One of them smiled coldly, with a mocking look in his eyes.

"What are you here for?"

"This is not the place for you to come."

"Now that Zhang Gui is dead, you must not leave the library again. Otherwise, if a fist really hits you in this red robe, it will not look good."

The five deputy managers sneered continuously.

"Where is Xu Xiaohan?"

Su Chen asked.

Xu Xiaohan? Who is this?

The five deputy general managers frowned and were too lazy to pay attention to Su Chen.

If he doesn't practice cultivation, what good will it be even if he wears a red robe? No one will pay attention to this eunuch Su.

"Do you really think that you are still like when Zhang Gui was here, everyone respects you and fears you, and dares not to provoke you?"

"Today, I will teach you a lesson."

"A useless cultivator!"

A deputy general manager strode over, his body as fast as lightning, and was about to knock Su Chen to the ground with one palm, and stomped hard on the face of Su Chen, the sixth red robe, with his dirty soles.

The Sixth Red Robe is shit.

A twisted smile just appeared on the deputy general manager's face.

"Let's continue discussing the allocation of the Shangwu Bureau."

The other four deputy managers withdrew their gazes.

next moment.

Facing the attacking third-grade Marrow Cleansing Realm being, Su Chen snapped his fingers.

boom!
A terrifying sonic boom exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere!

The other four deputy general managers turned their heads to look at this unbelievable scene, their eyes almost popping out, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

What's happening here?
A third-grade marrow cleansing realm being!
This person is a third-grade Marrow Cleansing Realm expert. Even if he were to be outside the imperial city, he would be a top expert who is capable of causing chaos in the area!
died?

Just die!
"First of all, I want to correct one thing. I have never relied on Zhang Gui to make people respect and fear me. I am enough on my own."

"Second, where is Xu Xiaohan?"

Su Chen spoke lightly, and glanced indifferently at the other four eunuchs present.

"You can actually practice and still be so strong!"

"Damn it!"

"You dare to kill the deputy chief steward of the palace, you are crazy!"

The other four deputy eunuchs of the Imperial Palace felt their scalps tingling and attacked together, trying to suppress Su Chen.

however.

As fast as they left, they were as wasteful when they came back. One after another, they all crashed into the wall, leaving bloodstains all over the wall.

"It's not like the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Palace hasn't killed anyone before."

A blink of an eye.

Of the five deputy chief stewards in charge of the meeting, only one who looked familiar and had half black and half white hair was left. He was like a frightened bird, scared out of his wits, and kept shrinking in the corner.

"Where is Xu Xiaohan?"

Hearing Su Chen's question, the deputy general manager of Wu Pavilion was in tears.

Who exactly is Xu Xiaohan?

As the deputy general manager, he is in a high position and has great power. How could they remember such a small character as a mere fourth-rank blue-robed steward?

crunch.

The door opened.

Xu Xiaohan was windy and dusty. He was not wearing eunuch's clothes, but ordinary clothes. He was holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hand. He pushed the door open with some fear.

"Master Su..."

"How is this going!"

"I... I went out of the palace to gather intelligence these days. I also brought you a gift. I just came back..."

Su Chen's cold expression froze.

He thought that Xu Xiaohan had been murdered by factionalists, so he ran out of the library in anger, wanting to kill people to avenge Xu Xiaohan, but...

"what!"

"Su Chen!"

"You killed our four deputy chief eunuchs just for this? Do you still have His Majesty and the First Warden in your eyes? I will definitely file a complaint against you and make you live a life worse than death!"

The last deputy general manager of the Wu Pavilion was like a madman, roaring with resentment.

next moment.

Bang!
His head exploded and he fell to the ground, lifeless.

"It's not four, it's five!"

"in addition."

“I never have eyes for anyone.”

Su Chen withdrew his hand.
