Chapter 8 Chaos

"I really don't understand. A person's life span is only a hundred years, even for a master. Eunuchs like you and me can no longer enjoy beauty. Power and strength are what we should really desire."

"You have no talent, you are unable to practice, but you don't covet power. I really don't understand what you are thinking..."

Zhang Gui left with a sigh.

About to leave.

Su Chen did not choose to leave the palace. He woke up here. He didn't know the outside world, so where else could he go?

Zhang Gui didn't know.

He is immortal.

To him, power and beauty are nothing but passing clouds.

He just wants to live a peaceful life.

Three eunuchs in blue were seen carrying the sedan chair and about to leave.

Su Chen had a feeling.

Being able to come into contact with the Black Lotus Saint, it is obvious that Zhang Gui wants to get involved in the Black Abyss conspiracy.

The third level of marrow cleansing.

In addition, he is the deputy general manager of the Martial Arts Bureau.

With a huge amount of financial resources at his disposal and the support of the Fifth Prince, Zhang Gui is already qualified to be one of the chess players.

"If you leave and get involved, will today be the last time we see each other?"

Su Chen stopped the sedan chair.

He took out a section of plump and green grass from his sleeve. Even in this cold winter, after the roots were removed, it still looked full of vitality. It came from a piece of dogtail grass.

There is Su Chen's immortality energy inside.

"There's not much I can do for you."

"In times of crisis, if you are in great trouble, chewing this spike of corn may be more effective than any other panacea."

Su Chen spoke.

Upon hearing this, the three eunuchs in green looked at the grass ear curiously, but no matter how they looked at it, it was just an ordinary grass ear, only a little thicker. They were disdainful in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show any sign of it.

Although Su Chen in front of him is a black eunuch of the lowest level who has not practiced cultivation, he is very important in the deputy general manager's heart. The death of the blue eunuch just now is the best proof of this.

"This grass spike..."

Zhang Gui got out of the sedan chair and took the ear of corn in his hand to play with it, but he couldn't see anything special about it. It was obviously just an ordinary thing. He put it in his lapel carefully and then smiled.

"Have a heart."

"I will keep this gift carefully for you..."

Then the sedan chair was lifted up and Zhang Gui walked away gradually.

Only Su Chen, who watched him leave, and the silent library were left.

"hope……"

"This aura of longevity can save your life at the critical moment."

Su Chen sighed, turned back and walked into the library, and the library returned to its former silence.

A few more days passed.

The library returned to its former silence.

There will be no more uninvited guests like the Seventh Prince.

Obviously, Zhang Gui gave up some of his interests, or made some arrangements, so that even a noble person like the Prince in White could no longer come to this library to disturb Su Chen's peace.

On this day, it was not the little eunuch in black who came to deliver food, but Xu Xiaohan who was heavy-hearted.

Just as Xu Xiaohan was about to leave with the lunch box.

Su Chen called him.

"Master Su wants to know what's happening outside the palace?"

Xu Xiaohan was a little hesitant.

"Godfather doesn't want Master Su to know too much, so as not to be implicated. This matter is very serious, he..."

"Then pick out what you can say."

In the courtyard, Su Chen fiddled with the frozen soil, trying to make it as fluffy as possible, hoping that the two main ingredients of the Heart-Eating Powder would take root and sprout quickly. As long as some rhizomes grew out, he could ripen them and prepare them.

Being able to poison a second-rank master to death, he can be considered the number one dangerous existence even in the Daliang Palace.

"Yes."

Xu Xiaohan gritted his teeth and spoke.

"The night before, Concubine Zhang slept with the old emperor. She looked dazed and fell ill overnight."

"And then."

"In the court and the country, the quarrels were so fierce that the two princes who had been fighting each other to death stopped fighting at the same time."

"Today, a top-ranking expert will enter the palace!"

Xu Xiaohan knew it very well. He had just stepped into the fifth rank, and the reason why he was able to surpass the latter and become Zhang Gui's confidant was not because he was smart enough or talented, but because of the importance of Master Su in Zhang Gui's heart.

Zhang Gui owes Su Chen too much.

Just because he had made great contributions in serving Su Chen, and because of his love for Su Chen, he rose to prominence and is now completely different from before.

Whatever Master Su wanted to know, he had to answer, because all his wealth and status were given by Master Su.

"So it's tonight?"

Su Chen's hand, which was loosening the soil, trembled slightly.

perhaps.

Tonight you will hear the good news of a change of dynasty, or the news of the prince’s death.

"You go ahead."

Su Chen sighed and walked towards the library with a staggering gait.

In the twenty-fourth year of Tianwu, it was the first day of the first lunar month.

night.

Heavy snowfall.

In his sleep, Su Chen, who was sleeping with his clothes on, suddenly woke up. His eyes sparkled like stars, and he looked towards the heart of the Imperial Palace across the snowy night.

Even though the sky was filled with snow and the palaces were covered in silver, the cold snow could not cover up the smell of blood in the air, nor could it extinguish the raging flames.

boom!
A terrifying sound wave exploded at this moment.

"The first-rank Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion, Qingxu, invites His Majesty the Emperor to die!"

The shouts of killing shook the sky.

This night is destined not to be peaceful.

In the deepest part of the palace, there was an old eunuch with white hair and beard, very old, and cloudy eyes. He was wearing a purple robe. He walked over and in a flash, he was a hundred feet away and came to greet the first-class Taoist Qingxu.

"Father!"

"A thousand-year-old precious medicine only appears once in a thousand years. How did you get such good luck to have a Taoist offer you medicine?"

"In order to save your life, you exchanged the heart of a first-class demon for your body. You have already become a half-evil demon. You can only survive by eating human hearts and livers every day. How can you still rule this world?"

"Let's return this world to the hands of righteousness."

The shouts of killing were loud.

Su Chen, wrapped in a thick quilt, walked out of the library.

"A thousand-year-old precious medicine, does it only appear once in a thousand years?"

Listening to the prince's cry, wishing the entire palace could hear it, Su Chen couldn't help but frown.

He subconsciously looked towards the secret compartment.

It turns out that this thousand-year-old precious medicine is so rare.

He thought it was normal.

After all, he not only had one thousand-year-old precious medicine king, but he had also eaten two before to learn how to master the Six-foot Golden Body Technique.

"none of my business."

"Even if dynasties rise and fall, or change, it has nothing to do with me."

"It's just Zhang Gui, I hope I can still see you alive."

Su Chen sat in the courtyard, took out the teapot, used chopsticks to pick up the charcoal to boil water for tea, and waited for the battle to end.

The snow is getting heavier.

The smell of blood in the cold and snow became stronger and stronger.

How many people will die tonight?

Su Chen didn’t know.

Don't care either.

"This tea still lacks some flavor."

A figure floated down and sat down at the other end of the tea chair. Without any courtesy, he took the teacup next to Su Chen and drank the strong tea in it.

"The library is located in a remote area, so there is not much good tea. Please forgive me."

Su Chen poured himself another cup of tea.

"It doesn't matter!"

"After all, I'm not here for tea."

The figure finished.

Bang!
The sharp blade gleams.

The opponent attacked fiercely and chopped off Su Chen's head with a sword.

"Huang Jiu! The one who killed you is Huang Yi!"
