Chapter 272: The Situation

After Chen Yu left, the emperor's mood this time was not as relaxed as before.

If there is no hope for a thing that has been working hard, no matter how bad the result is, it will be completely let go and nothing will be thought about.

But if one day, all of a sudden, someone tells you that I can help you and that you still have hope, then you will think, what is the purpose of the other person? Why help yourself? What benefits are needed? Can it really succeed?

The current emperor is in this state, and in his conversation with Chen Yu, Chen Yu told him that as long as he completes something according to Chen Yu's requirements, then their Chu family will still be the royal family of the Chaoyue Empire.

However, Chen Yu did not explain anything about the specific situation.

……

The next morning, the Emperor awoke, and this time, he had not lost the corresponding memory as he had done the last time, and he remembered the scene from yesterday's dream clearly.

When he opened his eyes and recalled the content of his chat with Chen Yu, the emperor's eyes were a little complicated.

After a sigh, the emperor put away the expression on his face again and made his usual state.

……

From the dormitory, the emperor who was walking towards a certain place glanced at him hatefully, and the two guards who had been following him all the time, which could be described as not leaving an inch, snorted coldly.

And the two guards, seeing this, also seemed to feel that the emperor was unhappy at this time, for fear of touching the other party's moldy head, and bent down slightly to express the awe in their hearts.

The performance of these two guards can be described as seamless, from their movements to their expressions, they all reflect their absolute obedience to the emperor.

Not only these two guards, but also the palace maid guards beside the other royal bloodlines.

In this case, the vast majority of the people of the Chu family have not even noticed the changes in the palace now, and they have always regarded themselves as the masters of this country, giving orders to the people below at will.

……

Under the 'supervision' of the two 'guards' beside him, the emperor found the corresponding personnel in the palace, who were originally responsible for transmitting information to the royal family.

Since a hundred years ago, in a state of confusion, he became an emperor, and in the days that followed, he became aware of his situation, and the emperor had hardly managed all the affairs of the country, big or small.

Of course, intelligence is also included, and to a certain extent, it is also one of the pillars of the state.

……

Even if he had expected it, after seeing the current situation of the intelligence department, the emperor was still a little sad.

Originally, in the emperor's memory, among the halls where there should be countless strong people, now there are only a few old people who are in the last years of the wind and candles, and the highest cultivation is a third realm, and they are still guarding here.

And it can be seen from this that some forces that were originally directly subordinate to the royal family and directly responsible for the Chu family, except for a very few people, may not be much better.

"Your Majesty." An old man who was dying of old age saluted respectfully to the emperor.

It seems to be exactly the same as everyone else around him, but it makes the emperor feel that he is the emperor of this empire.

After seeing the old man, the emperor raised his eyes to look at the two guards who were following him.

The two guards watched as if they hadn't seen the emperor's signal to let them out.

Seeing this, the emperor did not force it, after all, it was something that he had expected, he withdrew his gaze, let the old man get up, and asked him, "What has happened recently?" ”

"Preferably within a hundred years."

The old man thought for a moment and told the emperor what he knew.

The two guards who also listened to these news did not make any moves.

Because this intelligence department, which has almost been abolished and belongs to the Chu family, there is almost only one channel left to get information, and that is to go to the street and ask a person or two about foreign cultivators.

And the news learned in this way is really not a secret, I am afraid that a casual cultivator who travels from south to north knows more things than them.

However, the two guards did not hear it, and after the emperor heard that Zhou Mingzong enshrined an innate water god, his expression changed slightly at that moment.

At first, the news may have been kept secret.

There are many people who learned the news, but they are all related personnel, such as Zhou Mingzong's disciples, and the high-level of other big forces, and although Zhou Mingzong did not restrict the spread of this news, he did not promote it behind the scenes, but just let it develop freely.

Those small forces and casual cultivators did not know about the channels, and for a period of time, the cultivation world even used this as a boundary to judge the identity and background of the cultivators.

If you know about this, it means that there is something going on, but if you don't know, that's good, it means that you are just a powerless little cultivator.

But as time passed, the news kept fermenting, and in the end, it was almost a well-known thing, as long as they had been in the cultivation world, even some mortals had heard of it.

That is, the emperor was disheartened and ignored any affairs, so he didn't know anything about it.

……

After hearing the news, the emperor felt that he might know why Chen Yu's choice would be Zhou Mingzong.

It's not how Zhou Mingzong is, but how the innate god is.

Of course, it wasn't the emperor who guessed Chen Yu's identity, in the emperor's mind, this matter was an alliance between the two gods in the final analysis.

After realizing this possibility, the emperor was a little excited in his heart, because the meaning behind this was huge.

At the very least, it can explain one thing, that is, no matter what the state of the Taiyin God is at this time, it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion.

……

Chen Yu didn't know about the emperor's conjecture in the palace, and he didn't have the idea to know about it.

He was just quietly waiting and observing, waiting for Zhou Mingzong's people to observe the various forces hidden in the imperial capital.

……

Originally, because it was backed by the Taiyin Holy Land and did not participate much in disputes in other regions, the Chaoyue Empire has always been in a relatively stable state.

However, recently, in the entire Chaoyue Empire, the qi is extremely obscure, and the will of heaven is difficult to understand.

As long as you are a high-level cultivator, you can sense this change.

All the forces in the imperial capital have a feeling that the storm is coming.

Someone made a quick decision, and after informing the people behind him, he left directly.

There are also many people who have made up their minds and are ready to take advantage of the upcoming changes.

The largest group of people are naturally still in a wait-and-see mode, first to see how the situation develops, and then make a decision on whether to evacuate or participate.

What was once a peaceful place is now at the center of a storm.

At the same time, between the changes of qi and engine, there are either some clear goals, or just coincidences, in this special period, there are many existences that can be called people of the hour, and they are gathering in the imperial capital.
