At sunset, Lingjiang City is bathed in golden afterglow.

A person silently came to the emperor's resting place, Tiande Palace.

The long hairpin is tied up, and it looks almost confused, and the forehead folds are extremely deep, looking dense but not messy, like a chilling snake pattern.

His eyebrows were very light, his thin nose was hooked like an eagle's beak, and his eyes were cold and deep.

He was dressed in a brocade robe that was more colorful than the slanting sun, and a terrifying-looking serpent was embroidered on the front of the placket.

Beyond the snake, there was a fiery red, like a sea of fire, enveloping the monster that looked like a dragon but not a dragon, like a snake but not a snake.

He also had a strange knife around his waist.

The handle of the knife is embroidered with gold, and although it is not unsheathed, it can be seen that the knife is quite feminine and slender.

Normally, if it weren't for the imperial guards, no one would be able to wear a sword to meet the Son of Heaven, but when this person came to the Tiande Palace, he didn't see any guards large and small to stop him. Not only that, but when they saw this person, they all bowed their heads slightly in awe, as if this person was the most terrible person in the entire palace.

In the eyes of the people of the world, the biggest eunuch is the head of the fourth grade, but this person's rank is the second grade that is amazing.

He was not among the four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve prisons, but when the eunuchs of the twenty-four yamen saw this, they didn't dare to take a breath.

He is the chief eunuch of Teng Snake Guard, and the eunuch of Cao.

When it comes to ruthless and vicious means, no one can beat it.

No one knows how many people there are in the Teng Snake Guard, only that those who can become Teng Snake Guard are all masters of the Infinite Realm, and the chief eunuch of the Teng Snake Guard himself is a cultivator at the peak of the Immortal Realm.

There are many masters in the palace, and the peak of the Peerless Realm may not be really powerful, but no one treats him as an idle Peerless Realm monk, and the person who really knows his identity is as fearful as a snake and scorpion, and he is the god general of the Yao True Realm, and when he mentions the name of this person, he must be jealous.

Few people know what Teng Snake Wei does on weekdays, and they can vaguely guess some of it, but no one dares to think deeply.

The people who came out of the Teng Snake Guard were all executioners with blood on their hands.

Yonghui was founded for thousands of years, how many dirty and ugly are there, and how many creepy secrets are heard? If we dig deeper, we will find that behind every bloody secret story, there is almost the shadow of Teng Shewei.

As the chief eunuch of Teng Snake Guard, Cao Sijian has already stained his hands with blood, and I heard that the scabbard of his Teng Snake Knife is soaked in blood, and he nourishes the blade day and night, but he doesn't know whether it's true or not.

Cao Sijian walked into the door of the palace, disappeared in a blink of an eye, and after a while, he quietly came to the imperial study, and he knocked on the door.

After three sounds, there was a pause before striking the last one.

"Come in. ”

After receiving permission, he pushed the door in, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Most of the eunuchs' voices are soft and sharp, but he is different, his words are correct and round, and he is very mellow.

Chen Xuanming put down his pen, looked at him, and asked, "Is the matter over there done?"

The head of Teng Snake Guard, who was called Cao Sijian but was actually named Cao Zheng, bowed his head slightly, and now Yonghui seems to be in good weather, but in fact it is turbulent, what Chen Xuanming said is related to the vassal kings, and said: "Check it out, this is the list of ministers who may be co-opted by King Zhao." ”

He presented a red dossier.

Chen Xuanming took it, rolled his eyes a few times, and frowned slightly.

Among the vassal kings, King Zhao was the most powerful, and he could see that the other vassal kings also had a tendency to move closer to King Zhao.

He didn't ask how this list came about, Teng Snake Wei did many things, they were the most vicious and loyal eagle dogs around the Son of Heaven, whether it was an important minister in the court, or a relative of the emperor, as long as the Son of Heaven wanted to do it, these eagle dogs would do whatever it took to complete it.

Cao Sijian said softly: "King Zhao's staff Tan Zuozong has already met Su Zhuo. ”

Chen Xuanming said, "Do you think it is possible for him to achieve non-cultivation within a year?"

Cao Sijian was silent for a moment and said, "It is very likely that he has never missed something from Wanghai City to Lingjiang. ”

Chen Xuanming glanced at the pen and ink on the paper and fell into deep thought.

Now King Zhao is waiting for an opportunity, if the eldest prince Chen Wangyan gets the position of Chengtian Ling, he can also win back a city and let him cast a mouse trap, but if Su Zhuo gets this position and mixes with King Zhao, then it will not be good.

The Chengtian Order, which has been empty for 18 years, happens to be replaced by the old and the new at this time, which really brings more uncertainty to the situation.

Moreover, the Wushengmen and the demon clan are also eyeing each other, and they may also come to intervene.

Chen Xuanming said: "Su Zhuo's side will observe again, and you will stay in Lingjiang these days." ”

Supervisor Cao nodded and said, "Understood." ”

......

......

"King Zhao is ready to fight for the Heavenly Order, so who will he let go?"

Ever since he met Tan Zuozong, Su Zhuo had been thinking about this question.

If you want to compete for the Chengtian Order, you must not only have the cultivation of no realm, but more importantly, you also need to have the blood of the royal family.

It's just that, as far as he knows, King Zhao has a total of two daughters and a son, one of the two daughters is in the Guozijian, and the other has gone to the academy.

As for that prince Chen Xu?

Su Zhuo shook his head, not to mention that the cultivation was too far behind, with the temperament of that prince, he really sent it up, and it was not Chen Wangyan's opponent.

If you calculate it this way, there seems to be no one on King Zhao's side.

He felt as if he was missing something.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

Bastard.

He thought of a rumor circulating in the Shangqing Palace-

Many people have discussed in private that Chen Xun, the second person of the younger generation of Yujing Palace, who is subordinate to Li Xu, the first disciple of Yujing Palace, seems to be the illegitimate son of Chen Xinzhi, King Zhao.

When he left the Shangqing Palace to go to Wanghai City, Chen Xun was also at the peak of the Lingqiao realm.

If Chen Xun breaks through the realm at this time, it is not impossible.

So, could this person be Chen Xun?

Su Zhuo is not sure, but for now, this person is likely to be the illegitimate son of King Zhao, because the three heirs on the surface obviously can't compete for this Heavenly Order.

I don't know when, Yuan Shixu came to his side and asked, "Young Marquis, in less than a month, it will be Ning Gongzi's weak crown ceremony, do you really want to go?"

Su Zhuo smiled and said, "Why don't you go, without me, Ning Gongzi's weak crown ceremony will not be complete." ”

Yuan Shixu was very worried, and said, "Since the young marquis showed your hand in the Xingwu Palace, everyone now knows that you have a strength comparable to that of a cultivator of the Peerless Realm. ”

The implication of his words is clear.

The Hou Mansion of Changle now has more guards from Zuo Xiang's cronies, even if someone wants to assassinate as many as they want, they will throw a mouse taboo, but if they are outside the Hou Mansion, especially in Ning Yuchen's weak crown ceremony, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the assassins are likely to attack at this time.

And Su Zhuo has now exposed his strength, so he will face even greater danger.

Su Zhuo just shook his head and said, "Sooner or later, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day." ”
