Chapter 138 - , Soldiers Approaching The City

The world was in turmoil.

The Imperial Palace was covered in dark clouds, making it hard for people to breathe.

However, the library was not affected at all because He Chuan was there.

He sat in front of the Go board at the square table and played chess with himself.

Recently, Princess Changning and Prince Cheng’an had not come to the library.

The rebellion of the eight vassal kings greatly affected his life.

“I wonder how the two little fellows are doing?” He Chuan muttered to himself.

Although he did not want to interfere with the matters of the imperial court and the Alliance Army of the vassal kings, he was still a little worried.

He still could not let go of the matter.

Normal conflicts between the factions would not occur on a large scale.

The struggle for Imperial Power was different. If Zhou Shimin had failed, all of his children would not had a good ending.

Troublesome!

He Chuan sighed helplessly. He had previously warned himself not to get involved, but he was unable to do so at the last minute.

It was a contradictory problem.

He had always pursued the path of cultivation and state of mind at the same time so that he would not go crazy when he broke through.

Recently, his state of mind seemed to have fluctuated slightly.

It was obvious that he had been disturbed by matters in the outside world.

The fluctuation in the state of mind of a saint cultivator was not a small matter.

It seemed that he needed to resolve this matter and continue his cultivation to prevent problems from occurring during the breakthrough.

He Chuan made up his mind. He knew that he did not want anything to happen to the two little fellows.

If the current situation continued to develop, there was a high possibility that the Imperial Army would be defeated.

At that time, the eight vassal kings would definitely fight for Imperial Power, and it would affect the library. He would not have any peaceful days anymore.

The best way was to solve the problem from the root.

“Little Eunuch He! An order came from the palace. Everyone must gather at the Martial Arts Bureau immediately, or they will lose their head!” The young Eunuch who delivered the message ran over breathlessly. It was evident that the matter was very urgent.

He Chuan has always stayed in the library and never showed his face.

However, Zhou Shimin valued him very much. Every time he came here to study, he had to accompany him.

Princess Changning and Prince Cheng’an were very close to He Chuan, so the eunuchs and maids in the palace didn’t dare to yell at him.

“Do you know what this is about?” With He Chuan’s strength, he naturally didn’t care about the threat.

Since he decided to interfere in this matter, he would first ask about it.

No matter who he spoke to, he would speak in a gentle voice.

Even if you were the lowest of the palace maids and eunuchs, he wouldn’t look down on them in the slightest.

When talking to the Emperor, he would also not lower his voice.

The palace maids and eunuchs felt comfortable getting along with He Chuan.

His philosophy was very simple. Is there anyone who is born to be a king, a duke, a general or a minister?

No one was born to be superior to others, and no one was born to be inferior to others.

Recently, he had no interest in listening to the situation in the palace, so he did not know much about what had happened recently.

Quietly reading books and cultivating in the library was his favorite thing to do recently.

“Sigh, Eunuch He, you don’t know. Right now, there are rumors in the palace and outside of the palace that His Majesty has been poisoned and is unconscious. In addition, the Alliance Army of the eight vassal kings will attack the capital. The Martial Arts Bureau will arrange for us all to undergo systematic training and go to the battlefield to fight against the Alliance Army!” The young Eunuch who passed the message explained with a frown.

In his opinion, going to the battlefield was no different from sending himself to death.

If it weren’t for the severe martial law in the capital recently, he would have even wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

“Little Eunuch He, you should also make preparations. After all, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield.” After delivering the message, the Eunuch turned around and rushed to the next place to inform.

He Chuan was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Zhou Shimin to be willing to take such a huge risk and come up with such a plan.

He didn’t know if the plan would succeed.

Of course, this little trick could not be hidden from He Chuan.

He wanted to see what tricks the Emperor could play first. If he really could not change the situation, then it would not be too late for him to help.

As for the matter of going to the Martial Arts Bureau, he was not in a hurry.

He had only read half of the book in his hand. He wanted to finish reading first.

Martial Arts Bureau.

In the martial arts practice field, there were about two thousand eunuchs.

The eunuchs who were assigned here basically had no power or connections. That was why they were sent to the battlefield.

In the current situation, it was definitely not suitable to send money.

“He Chuan!” The blue-robed Eunuch held the name list in his hand and shouted at the team.

“He Chuan?”

There was still no response.

“Eunuch Liu, it’s Little Eunuch He from the library pavilion. He is usually very close to the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince,” The Eunuch in charge of managing the affairs said in a low voice.

Eunuch Liu frowned.

Although He Chuan was the lowest level of the gray-robed Eunuch, he did not dare to interfere if he could gain the favor of the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince.

In any case, one more was not much, and one less was not much.

It was fine to pretend not to know.

Now that the Emperor had been poisoned and was unconscious, the Crown Prince would probably propose to take charge of the court affairs.

Then He Chuan’s status would definitely rise with the tide, and it was not impossible for him to become an important person.

In time, he might even have to turn around and flatter him.

However, he was definitely a little jealous in his heart.

He Chuan was still leisurely reading in the library, and he did not know what the blue-robed Eunuch was thinking.

Even if he knew, he would not care.

With his current strength, no one in the palace was his match.

In the entire world, he probably did not have many opponents.

…

The Eight Vassal King’s Alliance army continued to break through like a hot knife through butter.

They broke through several cities.

They were now less than 500 miles away from the capital.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounded the entire capital

However, the Alliance Army did not attack.

The capital walls of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been strengthened for several generations. They were tens of meters tall and were easy to defend but hard to attack.

Normal catapults and siege weapons would not be able to cause any damage.

Furthermore, the 100 thousand Imperial Guards were not just for show. As the last line of defense to protect the emperors, they were all elites that had been chosen.

It would be very difficult to break through.

The Alliance Army had used all sorts of strategies and methods, but the capital was as solid as an iron bucket.

It would be difficult to break down from the inside.

The only thing left was to attack.

Just as the Alliance Army was about to attack, the rumored unconscious Zhou Shimin suddenly appeared.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty stood on the city wall, his face solemn as he personally came to command the battle!

The Emperor personally led the troops, and the soldiers’ fighting spirit was immediately mobilized.

Cheers resounded throughout the capital.

Because the pillar of support had arrived.

When the eight vassal kings, who were filled with confidence just a moment ago, saw Zhou Shimin suddenly appear, their hearts skipped a beat.

Didn’t they say that Zhou Shimin was poisoned and unconscious? Why would he appear here?

Facing the imperial court’s army, whose morale was high, the morale of the Alliance Army suddenly dropped.

“We can only use the second plan!” Abbot Huitong squinted his eyes and said.

This Abbot of the Shaolin Temple had the strength of Xiantian ninth stage. It was rumored that he was just one step away from becoming a saint cultivator.

Moreover, as one of the great forces from Mount Tai in the martial arts world, his words carried a lot of weight.

“It seems that this is the only way.” Daoist Tieling was unwilling. He did not expect that the Heart Devouring Pill could not even take Zhou Shimin’s life.

“Disciples of the seven major sects, gather together and prepare to help the alliance force the city!”Abbot Huitong did not look like a monk at all.

Faced with the impending massacre, he did not feel any fluctuations in his heart.

He Chuan sat in the Scripture Pavilion, but his consciousness could cover the entire capital.

It turned out that the Zhou Dynasty’s capital had a very secret formation.

If one did not investigate, one would not be able to sense it.
