Chapter 24

He began to feel fortunate again.

Hearing Gao Gao Jianli's words.

Ge Nie was silent for a moment before speaking: "Everyone knows Wei Zhuang's ability."

"With our current strength, it is better not to act rashly."

"Actually, we don't need to act."

"The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng will definitely not let this opportunity pass!"

"Everyone, don't forget, Ying Zheng only has one year left."

"He will definitely use any means necessary to get this Withered Wood Meets Spring Pill from Wei Zhuang's hands!"

Ge Nie's words fell.

It immediately drew Dao Zhi's agreement.

"That's right!"

"Why didn't I think of that!"

"With Ying Zheng's personality, how could he possibly give up such a great opportunity!"

"Haha, now there's a good show to watch."

"Ying Zheng and Wei Zhuang, dogs biting dogs!"

"Let's see who comes out on top!"

Gao Gao Jianli, who was to the side, also had his eyes light up, and said: "Mr. Ge Nie's words are indeed very reasonable!"

"It seems that Wei Zhuang's Liusha will soon stop cooperating with Ying Zheng."

"Our pressure will also be much less!"

Xue Nu also said: "It seems this is actually good news!"

……

West of Great Qin.

It is the Western Wilderness, one of the Eight Wildernesses outside the Nine Provinces!

The land of the Nine Provinces is the place where civilization originated.

However, outside the Nine Provinces, there are the lands of the Eight Wildernesses!

The Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses plus the land of the Nine Provinces make up the entire world.

Western Wilderness.

Sparsely populated.

Even the Great Qin iron cavalry dare not easily venture deep into it.

Legend has it that this Western Wilderness was the site of a great war between gods and demons in the past, and it holds countless great terrors!

No living creature can survive in the Western Wilderness.

However.

There are exceptions to everything.

At this moment, in an abandoned temple in the Western Wilderness.

An old man in white robes with white hair and beard was eating roast chicken while watching the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament with great interest!

"Little Zhuang, Little Zhuang, your fate is truly full of twists and turns."

"Back then, when I took you away from the cold palace of the Han King’s palace, I wanted to change your fate."

"But now it seems you have walked down that path after all."

"You originally only had a lifespan of thirty-three years."

"However, since the Heavenly Dao rewarded you with the Dead Wood Meets Spring Pill that can prolong life by twenty years, it means your fate can still be changed!"

"However, whether you can defy the heavens and change your fate ultimately depends on yourself!"

"Little Zhuang, I hope you will not disappoint your master!"

This white-haired old man was none other than the contemporary Guiguzi!

He had gone deep into the Western Wilderness alone to explore some secrets of the past.

Seeing his disciple Wei Zhuang make the list, he was still quite concerned about his apprentice.

Great Ming.

Jingcheng.

Inside the palace.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao looked at Wei Zhuang, who had already made the list.

A hint of curiosity appeared on his face.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao was naturally curious about the Great Qin Dynasty, which was located at the westernmost end of the Nine Provinces.

Great Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was an idol in Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s heart!

With his own strength, he swept away the six kingdoms!

And established a vast imperial dynasty.

What a great achievement that was.

Zhu Zhu Houzhao also had a strong interest in the people of Great Qin.

This Wei Zhuang was actually the legendary successor of Guigu.

Naturally, it made Zhu Zhu Houzhao very surprised.

"The common people are suffering, the world is in chaos; among the hundred schools of thought, only I am vertical and horizontal!"

"Although the Great Ming is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Great Qin!"

"However, I have also heard this sentence passed down from Guigu!"

"Although each generation of Guiguzi is but one person, they are stronger than a million troops; when they are angry, the feudal lords fear, and when they are at peace, the world rests."

"I wonder how much of Guigu’s ability this Wei Zhuang has inherited!"

"Unfortunately, he only has a lifespan of thirty-three years!"

"Although he obtained the Dead Wood Meets Spring Pill rewarded by the Heavenly Dao, that pill can only be taken when one is dying."

"Wei Zhuang has three years of life left; no one knows what will happen in these three years!"

"Ying Zheng will definitely not let go of this Dead Wood Meets Spring Pill!"

"Whether Wei Zhuang can survive is still an unknown!"

"What a pity; if such a figure could live longer, he might become a figure like Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, or Pang Juan!"

Just as Zhu Zhu Houzhao was sighing.

He heard a little eunuch come to report.

"Your Majesty!"

"The Marquis has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s eyes!

"Oh?"

"The Marquis is here!"

"Invite him in!"

Not long after.

Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis, arrived before Zhu Zhu Houzhao under the guidance of the little eunuch.

Zhu Wushi looked unruly and bowed to Zhu Zhu Houzhao: "Zhu Wushi greets Your Majesty!"

A look of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s eyes!

However, his face was full of smiles like the spring breeze.

Relying on his status as the Emperor’s uncle, Zhu Wushi had been acting arrogantly over the past few years!

He did not take him, the Emperor, seriously at all!

Sooner or later, he would eliminate Zhu Wushi!

However, now was not the time! ===== CHAPTER 64 =====

However, now is not yet the time!

He could only play along with him!

Zhu Zhu Houzhao said to Zhu Wushi with a smile: "Uncle, you've finally come!"

"I have something to ask you, Uncle!"

Zhu Wushi said: "Your Majesty wants to ask about the Taiping Prince's conspiracy to rebel, right!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao said: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Exactly!"

"The Taiping Prince conspiring to rebel is a major event!"

"It's fortunate that the Azure Cloud Ranking exposed this, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Zhu Wushi said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty!"

"Actually, I have long known about the Taiping Prince's conspiracy to rebel!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao heard this and said with a look of surprise: "What!"

"Uncle actually knew about the Taiping Prince's conspiracy to rebel long ago?"

"Then why did you never tell me!"

Zhu Wushi said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and works very hard."

"How could I let such a small matter disturb Your Majesty!"

Zhu Zhu Houzhao's anger flared up instantly.

However, he still suppressed his anger and asked Zhu Wushi: "Uncle!"

"The Taiping Prince is planning to rebel!"

"How can this be a small matter?"

Zhu Wushi laughed: "Your Majesty, you may not know the Taiping Prince very well!"

"The Taiping Prince is a man of great ambition but little talent!"

"And he doesn't have much depth!"

"As far as I know, the reason he wants to rebel is just because he lightly believed the words of a Jianghu swindler!"

"Moreover, with the military strength of the Taiping Prince's fief, he can't stir up any big waves!"

"Besides, the Taiping Prince's mansion has always been under the strict surveillance of the Imperial Secret Agents!"

"Once the Taiping Prince really intends to rebel, he will be immediately captured by the Imperial Secret Agents!"

"So, in my opinion, this is indeed a small matter."

"There is no need for Your Majesty to worry!"

Zhu Wushi's words were so harsh to Zhu Zhu Houzhao's ears!

And so shocking!

Zhu Zhu Houzhao was both amazed at Zhu Wushi's great power and wary of his methods!

Zhu Wushi's secret agents had already been planted in the Taiping Prince's mansion.

It was evident that Zhu Wushi must have also planted his eyes and ears in the imperial palace!

Thinking of this.

Zhu Wushi's spine felt cold!

Thinking that his every move might also be under Zhu Wushi's surveillance.

The killing intent in Zhu Zhu Houzhao's heart grew even stronger!

Zhu Wushi must die!

However, Zhu Zhu Houzhao's face remained pleasant.

He nodded slightly and said: "So that's how it is!"

"With you here, Uncle, I have saved so much worry!"

"Uncle has truly worked hard!"

Zhu Wushi laughed: "What is this!"

"Working for the country and sharing Your Majesty's worries is my duty!"

"Back then, I followed the late Emperor's last wish to take charge of the Hulong Villa and look after Your Majesty."

"All of this is what I should do!"

"Alright, Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"

"I still have some things to deal with!"

A flash of severity crossed Zhu Zhu Houzhao's eyes!

Just at this moment.

They saw the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

Another flash of golden light.

New figures had made the list!

Zhu Zhu Houzhao had a sudden inspiration and immediately said: "Uncle, you work day and night to share my worries!"

"If I don't show concern, wouldn't that be my fault!"

"Uncle, the appearance of this Azure Cloud Ranking today is a huge event!"

"No matter how busy you are, it won't hurt to stay a little longer!"

"Uncle, please accompany me to finish watching this Azure Cloud Ranking before you leave!"

"Consider it as accompanying me to relax, how about that?"

Zhu Wushi heard this, looked deeply at Zhu Zhu Houzhao, and then said: "Since Your Majesty has spoken!"

"How can I disobey Your Majesty's order!"

"Very well, I will accompany Your Majesty to watch this Azure Cloud Ranking!"

At this time.

On the Azure Cloud Ranking.

New figures had already appeared!
