Chapter 940

Before the Tongfu Inn could become a dangerous building, Zhang Cheng finally defeated Zhu Wushi.

Looking at his disheveled opponent, Zhengde stepped forward and said sternly: "Imperial Uncle, now that things have come to this, do you still want to be obsessed?"

"What obsession? It's just a matter of success or failure!"

Standing up, the ferocious Zhu Wushi roared: "Back then, I was better than your father. He was just the eldest son of the main wife. Why, why could he become the Emperor, while I could only be a Prince!"

Walking toward Zhengde, Zhu Wushi's eyes were filled with ferocity.

But just then, Guo Juxia stared at Zhu Wushi and said: "Prince, the eldest son cannot be discarded!"

"Hahaha, what a fine 'the eldest son cannot be discarded.' I first studied literature, then martial arts. In the whole world, who can rival me!"

Speaking to this point, Zhu Wushi stared at Zhang Cheng and said: "Where is Suxin?"

"She is in the hands of our Eastern Depot, very safe!"

Explaining to Zhu Wushi, Zhang Cheng became serious.

"Pfft!"

Vomiting a large mouthful of blood, Zhu Wushi felt his body weaken.

"Zhang Cheng, Imperial Uncle, he is...?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhengde asked.

"Your Majesty, the aura of the Sucking Power Technique has been broken..."

Speaking to Zhengde beside him, Zhang Cheng wanted to say that he didn't have long to live.

After all, in a battle of this level, who could guarantee they held back?

Hearing this, Zhengde said: "Imperial Uncle, turn back!"

"Turn back? I have lived my whole life walking on thin ice, how could I turn back!"

Looking at Zhengde in anger, Zhu Wushi took a step forward, his expression becoming ferocious.

But just as he was speaking, his hair suddenly turned white.

In the Battle of Taihu, Zhu Wushi absorbed the six major sects, using massive internal energy to reach his peak, but if he suffered a backlash, even immortals couldn't save him.

Watching Zhu Wushi gradually approaching the end of his life, Zhang Cheng said: "Let me tell you one thing: back then, Suxin and Gu Santong had a son, and that is your subordinate, Cheng Shifei!"

"What?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, when Zhu Wushi heard this, he froze in place and vomited blood.

"Imperial Uncle, Imperial Uncle!"

Looking at Zhu Wushi with worry, Zhengde stepped forward and hurriedly supported him.

And just as he was teetering, he reached out and grabbed Zhengde: "Your Majesty, I beg you for one last thing!"

"Speak, Imperial Uncle, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!"

Looking at Zhu Wushi, Zhengde spoke up.

"Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom..."

Grabbing Zhengde's shoulder, Zhu Wushi became weak after saying this.

Watching this scene, Guo Juxia turned his head and said: "Actually, you didn't have to say it!"

"Letting someone die with regrets is not the way of the Eastern Depot!"

Speaking indifferently, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Are you sure you aren't killing him and then destroying his heart? Thousand-Household Zhang!"

Turning to look at Zhang Cheng beside him, Guo Juxia looked at him seriously.

"Hehe!"

Revealing an "honest" smile, Zhang Cheng didn't speak, just didn't know where to put his hands.

Before long, when Zhu Wushi finally closed his eyes, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao knelt down: "Your Majesty..."

"Enough, get up! In the end, the Imperial Uncle asked me not to hold you responsible, but the Dragon Protection Villa..."

Looking at Shangguan Haitang and Guihai Yidao, Zhengde became serious.

"Your Majesty, starting today, I will disband the Dragon Protection Villa and the World's First Villa!"

Speaking to Zhengde, Shangguan Haitang immediately understood what he meant.

"That is very good!"

Looking at the two, Zhengde revealed a gratified expression.

And just after saying this, Zhengde turned his head: "Zhang Xinzhi, Suxin?"

"Your Majesty, my people haven't reached the Heavenly Pool yet!"

Looking at Zhengde, Zhang Cheng actually wanted to say that even if Lin Pingzhi knew Grass-Flying, he couldn't reach the Heavenly Pool in such a short time.

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Zhengde immediately understood what was going on.

"Forget it, after this woman is brought back, you arrange it. But the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhengde spoke sternly.

"Your subject will help the Prince fulfill his last wish!"

Bowing to Zhengde, Zhang Cheng hurriedly replied.

"That is good!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhengde raised a smile.

However, just then, a large number of troops arrived outside Seven Heroes Town.

Accompanied by a refined man with a beard, the man dismounted and said: "Your subject, Wang Yangming, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"My dear official, no need for formalities!"

Speaking to Wang Yangming, Zhengde waved his hand indifferently.

Looking at Wang Yangming, Zhang Cheng frowned.

Because the so-called Master Yangming didn't look like a scholar without the strength to truss a chicken!

Seeming to feel Zhang Cheng's gaze, Wang Yangming smiled: "This official also knows a bit of crude martial arts!"

Watching Wang Yangming with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng felt awkward.

Because if Wang Yangming dared to say that, he definitely could fight!

Wang Yangming: Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi can fight, so why can't I? If you don't understand the Study of Mind, I also know a bit of fisticuffs!

Zhang Cheng: As expected, those who attain enlightenment at Longchang are all ruthless people!

After returning to the capital, a grand funeral was held.

Matters concerning the royal family were never taken lightly.

However, the truth was only known to a few people.

Inside the Fengtian Hall, Zhengde sat high above and stated the conclusion lightly: the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis Zhu Wushi died saving the Emperor!

Facing such a situation, Sima Xi, as the historian, naturally disagreed, but under Zhengde's "threat," he agreed not to announce it to the world at the time.

Inside the mansion in the capital.

Zhang Cheng looked at Tong Xiangyu, who was looking around, and felt awkward: "Shopkeeper, what do you want? Can you just move it away? Don't keep touching it like that!"

"Really? Can I carry this main beam back too?"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Tong Xiangyu became excited.

"That won't do, if you carry it away, what will happen to my house!"

Watching Tong Xiangyu really about to do it, Zhang Cheng panicked.

"It's golden nanmu, Little Zhang!"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Tong Xiangyu said excitedly.

Hearing Tong Xiangyu say this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly refused: "That won't do either, the main beam is absolutely not allowed!"

But just then, a team of people walked in from the door, led by none other than Cao Shaoqin.

Looking at him, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Morning, Young Commander!"

"By the order of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Zhang Cheng, Thousand-Household of the Eastern Depot, is brave and resolute, and has merit in saving the Emperor. Effective immediately, he is promoted to Superintendent of the Eastern Depot..."

"What?"

Widening his eyes, Zhang Cheng looked at Cao Shaoqin and froze in place.

Just then, Cao Shaoqin said: "Superintendent, I wonder if you are being castrated today? Or tomorrow?"

"Can I resign?"

Looking at Cao Shaoqin awkwardly, Zhang Cheng became serious.

"No, His Majesty said that with you by his side, he is very reassured!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Cao Shaoqin laughed.

And just after he finished this sentence, Zhang Cheng jumped up with a "bang" and turned to flee: "Do people of the Zhu family always have no martial ethics? Goodbye!"

"Superintendent, Thousand-Household Zhang has escaped, what should we do?"

Looking at Cao Shaoqin, the agents beside him laughed.

"No matter, this Commander had already anticipated it!"

Watching Zhang Cheng leave, Cao Shaoqin smiled.

Because the Emperor said, if Zhang Cheng wanted to escape, that was him becoming the Superintendent of the Eastern Depot.

Under the sunny sky, a donkey was moving along the official road.

Dressed as a man, Jiang Yuyan looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "You just ran away like that?"

"What else could I do? Should I really enter the palace?"

Looking at Jiang Yuyan beside him, Zhang Cheng complained.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Jiang Yuyan smiled and said: "Actually, entering the palace isn't bad. After all, you'd be the Superintendent? One person below, ten thousand above!"

"That sounds nice, why don't you go?"

Looking at Jiang Yuyan, Zhang Cheng teased.

"Really, there's such a good thing? Can I be the Superintendent too?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Jiang Yuyan hurriedly pulled the donkey and came to his side.

"Keep dreaming. The Superintendent not only needs high martial arts but also loyalty. If you implicate me one day, I won't even have a place to cry!"

Complaining to Jiang Yuyan beside him, Zhang Cheng was truly afraid this woman would one day hold power over the court.

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Jiang Yuyan said with disdain: "Then where are we going now?"

"To the Jianghu!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng smiled at Jiang Yuyan.

"Jianghu, the Jianghu is so big? Which Jianghu are we going to!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Jiang Yuyan complained.

"Wherever there are people, that is the Jianghu, isn't it?"

Teasing Jiang Yuyan, Zhang Cheng hummed a little tune and rode the donkey forward.
