Chapter 1594: Eunuch Wang is seriously injured

In the middle of the night, Chen Guanlou sat in his small courtyard basking in the moonlight, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

There was a sound in his ear, but the distance was relatively far.

After distinguishing the aura of the person coming, he found it very familiar.

Soon, Eunuch Wang Hai jumped into the courtyard covered in blood and injuries, falling directly to the ground, unable to crawl up.

Chen Guanlou gave the other man a light kick. "Are you dead yet?"

"Brother Chen, you are so vicious. I'm about to die, and you don't even know to care about my injuries and give me some medicine. I feel like I can still be saved."

Wang Hai complained bitterly.

Did he have to be so heartless?

Not only did he not save him, but he also kicked him.

"Listening to your tone, you sound full of energy; it seems you won't die for the time being."

Chen Guanlou stood up, went into the room, and brought out a pile of bottles and jars.

He gave the other man a healing pill, personally refined by Pure Yang Zhenren of the Jade Spring Palace, with double the effect and double the price.

"One pill is one thousand taels; remember to pay me back."

He also helped the other man clean his wounds, sprinkled on external medicine, and wrapped them with gauze. The medicine was produced by Medical Official Mu, a treasure of the jianghu that everyone scrambled for.

"One bottle of medicine is three hundred taels; put it on the account!"

Eunuch Wang Hai complained bitterly while twitching in pain. "Brother Chen, we are, after all, brothers from different fathers and mothers; is it necessary to calculate so clearly with me?"

"Even brothers must settle accounts clearly. One thousand three hundred taels, plus one hundred taels for the hard work, bed fee, and tea fee. No bargaining!"

After finishing everything, he threw the bloody clothes into a basket next to the courtyard gate.

Tomorrow, there would naturally be a laundry woman to take the dirty clothes and wash them.

Eunuch Wang Hai had been wrapped into a mummy, with injuries all over his body. His face had also been slashed twice by a blade. It was uncertain whether it would leave scars.

Chen Guanlou poured the other man a cup of hot water. "Who did this?"

Only then did he have time to ask about the ins and outs of the matter.

"With your cultivation, to be injured like this, the other person's martial arts cultivation should be about the same as mine. Judging by your injuries, it seems the other person didn't truly want to kill you and left room for maneuver. Otherwise, you would already be a corpse. Who did you offend? Are you not going to say?"

Wang Hai drank a sip of warm water, looking very exhausted.

His left hand was suspended by a bandage, making movement inconvenient. The whole person looked pitiful.

He remained silent for a long time before saying: "I met a ruthless character and tested them."

"What kind of background? Do you need me to help you get back at them?"

Wang Hai shook his head. "No need."

Chen Guanlou raised his brows slightly.

Eunuch Wang Hai was not a magnanimous eunuch. On the contrary, he was extremely petty and vengeful. He had suffered such heavy injuries, losing both his dignity and face, yet he felt not the slightest anger, nor did he want to get back at them—tsk, this matter had some implications.

"The other person's background is very big, and you don't dare to offend them? Or are you wary of the backer behind them?"

Wang Hai remained silent.

Chen Guanlou sneered. "I guessed it. Let me guess: someone who can make you this wary, running to me in the middle of the night for treatment—could it be Wei Wubing? No, no, no, if Wei Wubing wanted to deal with you, he wouldn't go to such trouble. Wei Wubing's newly adopted godson?"

"How did you know?" Eunuch Wang Hai was shocked, his eyes clearly panicked and uneasy.

"I really guessed it." Chen Guanlou raised his brows and sneered. "Tell me the specific situation. We are, after all, brothers from different fathers and mothers; you should at least let me know what happened to you. In case you die one day, the debt has its debtor, and I have to know who killed you and who I should seek revenge from."

"You will avenge me?" Wang Hai was very surprised, revealing a bit of caution and a bit of small surprise.

Chen Guanlou sneered. "Do you really think I'm heartless? We have been brothers for so many years. If you were killed by someone, I would definitely avenge you; I mean what I say."

Wang Hai felt relieved and finally revealed a smile that could be called shy, completely inconsistent with his persona and temperament. The smile was too pure, without the slightest calculation or utilization. Pure like a young boy who didn't understand the world.

Chen Guanlou thought to himself that even the darkest people have a pure side unknown to others. People, in the end, are complex, not simply good or bad.

"You didn't guess wrong. Wei Eunuch might have been dissatisfied with my handling of affairs and adopted another godson. This person used to serve in the imperial palace, is two years younger than me, and his cultivation far exceeds mine. He should be the kind of person you mentioned—especially pure, focusing only on martial arts cultivation and not asking about worldly affairs."

"Since he doesn't ask about worldly affairs, why is he serving as a godson to Wei Wubing and acting as his vanguard?"

"As eunuchs, we don't have the qualification to refuse. Wei Eunuch wants to adopt a godson; who dares to say a word? We don't fear death; we only fear a life worse than death! Even if he is a Ninth-Rank warrior, he can't escape the fate of being driven by others."

Speaking of the excitement, he pulled on his wounds, and Wang Hai gasped.

"What does Wei Wubing want this godson for? To replace you?"

"Not necessarily. He is sharing the burden for His Majesty."

Chen Guanlou furrowed his brows upon hearing this. "Are you sure it's sharing the burden for His Majesty, and not sharing the burden for Wei Wubing?"

"I am certain!" Eunuch Wang Hai gnashed his teeth. "I have handled errands for Wei Eunuch for a few years; I wouldn't dare say how much merit I have, but I have been diligent and conscientious, never having the slightest slack. However, Wei Eunuch never intended to recommend me to the Emperor from beginning to end. That person came, and Wei Eunuch recommended him to the Emperor to share the burden for the Emperor, and his position is even above mine. Why!"

Wang Hai was furious!

He hated him so much he gnashed his teeth.

Chen Guanlou understood in his heart; so that was it!

Don't worry about scarcity, worry about inequality!

So it was unwillingness, dissatisfaction, and the willingness to take the initiative to come to the door to provoke.

"You are dissatisfied, so you took the initiative to find the other person, and the result was a total defeat. You are truly pathetic!" Chen Guanlou complained.

If you are inferior to others in skill, you have to admit defeat!

Don't use the seniority set.

The martial arts world respects the strong! It doesn't talk about seniority.

Wang Hai was furious. "Do you think I should be satisfied, should I just admit defeat and willingly submit? I can't do it!"

"Fine, fine, fine, you can't do it. Don't just focus on being angry, lest you pull your wounds. What is the person's name, and what is he doing for the Emperor?"

"Surname Wu, Wu Ming! I don't know what he is doing specifically, but I guess it should be related to Xiao Changsheng's case, and there is also a connection to the Secretariat."

"Xiao Changsheng? Are you sure it's Xiao Changsheng, and not someone else?"

"I wouldn't dare guarantee it. But I know what the Emperor is most worried about right now, and I also know what the Emperor wants to find as a breakthrough point. Xiao Changsheng is the breakthrough point."

Chen Guanlou instantly had a bad premonition.

He stood up immediately and headed straight for the Heavenly Prison.

Wang Hai chased after him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Heavenly Prison!"

Wang Hai instantly realized. Chen Guanlou was resting at home tonight; this was the best time to make a move. Wu Ming definitely wouldn't let this opportunity go.

With Wu Ming's cultivation, wanting to get Xiao Changsheng's confession would be as easy as turning over his hand. ===== CHAPTER 1595 =====
