Get the Jishi Factory to help… wait, why doesn’t the Jishi Factory know?” Chu Danqing suddenly spotted the blind spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jishi Factory was a surveillance agency, monitoring everyone from high officials to commoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Li Wanwu really be a Su Shen spy?” Chu Danqing thought again and corrected himself: “No—he’s probably colluding with them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is troublesome,” Chu Danqing felt the weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he could seize partial authority over the Jishi Factory from Li Wanwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was clearly unrealistic—after ascending the throne as Tai Chang Emperor, the Crown Prince had distributed power among his former faction to maintain balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet opportunity still existed—if he could create a major incident, the suspicious Tai Chang Emperor might grant him authority to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suppressed his thoughts for now and prepared to consult Xiong Mou about possible strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Mou, who should have departed today, had his departure postponed due to the enthronement proceedings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Chu, I was just about to seek you out,” Xiong Mou greeted him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Xiong Mou stood a man with a long face, clearly reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me introduce you—this is Xu Yi, whom I mentioned before, skilled in beast taming,” Xiong Mou said, then introduced Chu Danqing in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Chu Danqing understood why the man looked so displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Xiong, I already told you I didn’t want it—why force someone like this? It’s immoral,” Chu Danqing said, exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly refused, yet they still pushed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right, Brother Xiong is utterly immoral,” Xu Yi agreed: “But since he brought it up, I’ll give it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you must swear not to pass it on to anyone—not even your descendants.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing didn’t know what to say—he’d already offered a way out, why not just take it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see it first. If it suits me, I won’t take it for free—you’ve taught me your art, I must repay you,” Chu Danqing said, refusing to accept without compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This improved Xu Yi’s expression considerably; he retrieved his family’s secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing saw it was a skill book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d expected a knowledge item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Skill Book: Ling Hui Tong Ming】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Passive Skill】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: Excellent】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: After use, acquire the skill Ling Hui Tong Ming, enhancing the sentience of summoned creatures】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the effect, Chu Danqing knew he couldn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then… I’ll boldly accept it,” Chu Danqing said shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yi didn’t hesitate—he shoved the book into Chu Danqing’s arms: “It’s yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where do you live? I’ll send someone there immediately!” Chu Danqing asked for the address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His residence held much gold, silver, and jewels—useless to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d make a perfect gift in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask Brother Xiong. I have other matters—I’ll take my leave. You two talk,” Xu Yi said, then departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly aware Chu Danqing had business with Xiong Mou, he left politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Xiong Mou asked: “What’s so urgent you came so soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d just finished the enthronement—it was barely noon—and Chu Danqing had already come to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, he’d rest first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing carefully phrased his words, revealing that Su Shen spies infested the capital—not just in number, but among the high ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This matter must be handled by you,” Xiong Mou said, weary: “I leave at dawn tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The border cannot wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice—five hundred thousand Su Shen troops had been confirmed preparing to march south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Mou was powerless against this internal threat, mainly because Chu Danqing had no evidence—and it implicated the Jishi Factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Proceed with caution,” Xiong Mou warned: “Don’t repeat your reckless actions at the Ghost Market.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, Chu Danqing succeeded thanks to outside aid—this time, it might not happen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing nodded outwardly, but inwardly planned to escalate the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t escalate, he’d fight alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by escalating could he drag most others onto his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Tai Chang Emperor—this was his empire. He could compromise on other matters, but not on threats to his power and position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that the Su Shen gathering five hundred thousand troops to invade—if he compromised now, it would be tantamount to national collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as Crown Prince, Tai Chang Emperor had valued power deeply—he wasn’t like the previous Tai Chang Emperor, who cared only for immortality and ignored the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Wanwu is almost certainly in contact with Su Shen,” Xiong Mou said: “If you investigate, he’ll notice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now he’s occupied using the Emperor’s blade to purge the Qiutan Faction—he’s too busy to watch you. This is your chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you uncover proof of his ties to Su Shen, you’ll not only eliminate this spy threat but also finish him off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Mou could see the court clearly—but he couldn’t outmaneuver them. After all, he wasn’t the only one who could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true—but I don’t know politics. Not completely ignorant, but barely familiar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From arriving in the capital to becoming General of the Feathered Forest, less than half a month has passed,” Chu Danqing spread his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His rapid promotion came from saving the Emperor’s life and his loyalty during the succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without those, no network or charm could have achieved such speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So dealing with court intrigue? Chu Danqing truly couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’d be easier to just have Guo Ming stab Li Wanwu through the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiong Mou also felt the difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find Wang Qi—he might have a solution,” Xiong Mou suddenly had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Qi, the newly appointed Imperial Tutor and veteran minister, was perfect for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll write a letter and send it—no need for you to go yourself,” Xiong Mou understood: Chu Danqing, as General of the Feathered Forest and Commander of the Imperial Guard, shouldn’t be seen associating too closely with court ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing hadn’t considered this—he assumed Xiong Mou’s influence outweighed his own, and readily agreed to let him handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting late. General Chu should hurry to take command of the Imperial Feathered Forest and familiarize yourself with the palace,” Xiong Mou explained the handover process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Chu Danqing’s position was now permanently fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further promotion was unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only a third-rank official, he was Tai Chang Emperor’s trusted confidant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a seventh-rank official at the Chancellor’s gate commands respect—how much more so one who guards the Emperor’s door?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Chu Danqing took Da Bao and went to assume command, then sent someone to deliver the gold and jewels to Xu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xiong Mou couldn’t assist him—he was on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Chu Danqing wasn’t the only one promoted—every member of the Guarded Wings received promotions, forming the new command structure of the Imperial Feathered Forest Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid- and upper-level officers were reshuffled, and Chu Danqing’s reputation and prestige were high—many had seen him personally escort Prince Fu into the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the handover passed without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former Commander of the Imperial Guard had retired home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new Tai Chang Emperor would not purge the Imperial Feathered Forest Army—he’d grant them an honorable retirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if retiring officers faced persecution, who would serve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was partly because the former Commander hadn’t committed any offenses—if he’d been corrupt, he wouldn’t have been allowed to step down so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking over, a high-ranking officer of the Feathered Forest Imperial Guard led Chu Danqing around the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mainly walked while explaining, so Chu Danqing could roughly learn the palace’s layout, building names, and their functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he had finished touring, it was already dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing hadn’t even had time to rest when a eunuch came to say the Emperor Taichang wished to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only replace the offerings and light incense for the Snake Soul along the way, heading toward Yangqi Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty once wandered as a itinerant sorcerer—do you recognize this monster?” Emperor Taichang asked after Chu Danqing arrived, pointing to the monster’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing shook his head: “This subject is unlearned, but the late emperor’s death must be tied to this monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Book?” Emperor Taichang changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Chu Danqing knew Emperor Taichang must have acquired something like a diary or experimental records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had rushed off without cleaning up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Blood Scholar’s spellbook had been taken by him; without this item, Emperor Taichang could do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, there was no need to worry that Emperor Taichang would repeat the same mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging from Emperor Taichang’s demeanor, he likely had developed some new ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity,” Emperor Taichang sighed, then suddenly changed tone: “Have you heard—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1711,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6d6f25ea2d332738ed50efde1b9cfdc7a2a470c35834ff50bb4007e10fdf30ce","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-117","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-115",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
