034 Static Thoughts

Fengyi six years.

Counting up, this is the thirteenth year that Su Chen has come to this world.

This year, he should actually be thirty-one years old.

But his appearance has not changed from when he was eighteen years old, the same delicate and handsome, the same young and full of vitality.

The years have not left the slightest trace on him.

Coupled with the great achievement of martial arts, his whole body was full of pure yang qi, which made his whole person look majestic and powerful.

Of course.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Su Chen usually restrains his breath and hides his makeup when he is outside.

The Thousand Illusions Gong came in handy at times like these.

Although this technique cannot provide any combat assistance, it is very useful in terms of modification and transformation, not only can even the face be changed, but even the height and body shape can be transformed to a certain extent when cultivating to a high level.

With this exercise, even if it is a congenital master, Su Chen does not have to worry about being seen through the disguise.

In the past six years, there has not been much turmoil in the Chu State.

Emperor Xiaozhuang made great efforts to govern the country in an orderly manner, the people were rich, the national strength was strong, and the state of Chu really had a bit of a sense of prosperity.

When Feng Yi was three years old, there was a little mess.

It was all because of the military restrictions at that time, some martial arts sects did not obey the control of the imperial court, and colluded with those wanted Jianghu rogues to assemble and capture a walled city in the northwest to rebel.

But it was soon suppressed.

The reason why Su Chen remembers it deeply is because the protagonist of this suppression of the rebellion was a civilian general recommended by Lin Fan.

After this battle, Lin Fan was favored by the emperor and became more and more powerful in the palace.

Now he has faintly become the head of the eunuchs in the inner palace, the General Consul of the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of Technology and Yong and many other departments, with great power, and is the number one cronie of Emperor Xiaozhuang, except for Xiao Hongwu.

However, he also offended many civil and military ministers in the DPRK and China because of his ruthless methods and unkindness.

Like the year before last.

Zhou Qing, the imperial historian, was stabbed in front of the saint because he was drunk and complained about two sentences that the woman was not in the country.

Emperor Xiaozhuang just smiled at that time and didn't say anything.

But that night, Lin Fan led people to take action and sent Zhou Qing's family to prison.

The Zhou family gate valve is also a big family in the capital, and when the eldest princess came out of Kwai Yuan, they were also supporters, so many people came forward to intercede.

But Lin Fan didn't wait for the emperor's order at all, and directly killed people in prison, first beheaded and then played, and then entered the palace to plead guilty.

The ministers scolded bitterly and demanded that the emperor condemn and kill the traitor.

But the emperor just lightly slapped Lin Fan twice, and then gave up, and then trusted him even more.

"A eunuch who is spurned by hundreds of officials is a good lackey, because he can only survive if he is loyal to the emperor, otherwise once he falls out of favor, he will be crushed to death in an instant. However, there is actually another reason why Emperor Xiaozhuang trusts Lin Fan so much......

A few years ago, Su Chen heard some old things about the Lin family in the capital through a chance.

Twenty years ago, the Lin family was also a big family in the imperial capital, and there were several high-ranking officials in their ancestors, and then gradually declined, and the Lin family secretly served Her Royal Highness the eldest princess at that time in order to revive their strength.

After the Fengming case, the Zhou family and several other scholars pushed the Lin family out as scapegoats in order to protect themselves.

In the end, the Lin family was liquidated by the whole family, and only one young son hid in the rice tank and escaped by luck.

It's just that no one thought that this young son of the Lin family did not hide and find a place to live this life, but sold himself into the palace a few years later and became the most despicable little eunuch.

After knowing this, Su Chen probably also understood why the eldest princess would let people protect Lin Fan from the Department of Internal Affairs in the first place.

And she looks at Lin Fan differently, not just because of his smart mind and unscrupulous means.

Among them, there is also a little bit of compensation.

After all, the Lin family was her earliest supporter back then, and Lin Fan's current situation also has something to do with her.

Now, Lin Fan has been favored by the Holy God and has a lot of power.

Next, it is estimated that he will do whatever it takes to find an opportunity to take revenge on those Kyoto scholars.

In this process, Emperor Xiaozhuang seemed to be happy to see it happen and did not stop it.

It seems that there is also the intention of borrowing Lin Fan's hand to suppress and weaken those scholars and gate valves.

There is an old saying, called the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.

For the emperor at this time, the scholars who supported her on the throne at the beginning became an obstacle to her implementation of the new policy, and they became outdated lackeys and naturally had to be eliminated.

But in a few years, when the scholar clan is suppressed, how should Lin Fan deal with himself?

Someone has to bear this charge of harming the loyalty of the scholars.

"This guy may also know his future ending, so over the years, he has never returned to Kwai Yuan once, just because he doesn't want to have anything to do with me, but secretly he has asked the Department of Internal Affairs many times to give me preferential treatment, so I have been happy in Kwai Yuan all these years, and no one has ever come to find trouble......

Su Chen shook his head secretly.

He had admonished Lin Fan, but the other party had already made up his mind, this was the path he had chosen.

Su Chen is not a savior, and he doesn't want to be too contaminated with too much cause and effect.

It's just for the sake of his friends, if there really is that day, he will remember his original promise and do his best.

"The weather seems to be nice today......"

Su Chen put down the scroll in his hand, stretched his waist, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

Living in Kwai Yuan for so many years, it would be false to say that I can't get tired of it.

It's just that his strength was not enough before, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he could only endure and didn't dare to move around at will.

It is the so-called static pole thinking.

Doing this behind closed doors all day long is also not good for spiritual practice.

His current cultivation has almost reached a bottleneck.

In addition to accumulating skills and growth, we also need some new insights and opportunities.

It's better to find an opportunity to go out for a walk, take a turn, and take a look at the prosperous imperial capital of this world, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

"In fact, there are a lot of secret passages in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids can't bear the loneliness in the palace, and occasionally sneak out secretly, as long as it doesn't cause any chaos, the internal affairs department also turns a blind eye. In the past, I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I didn't try, but now with my strength and status, I can go out of the palace once in a while, as long as I don't catch it on the spot, there should be no problem......"

Su Chen thought to himself.

In the past few years, in addition to cultivation, he has also continued to study miscellaneous studies such as talismans and organs, which can be regarded as gains.

Trap golems and fire charms have been greatly improved.

But at present, there are still some more important raw materials missing, which need to be purchased in the special fang market, and he has no trustworthy people in the house now, so it is best to make a trip in person.

Besides.

It has been almost ten years since Gonggong Li died.

Before, it was because it was inconvenient, so I didn't go to worship, but now that I have the ability to enter and leave the palace freely, it is reasonable that I should also go to worship.

Come to think of it.

Only then did Su Chen get up, tidy up the mechanisms in the room, and then put the silver belongings he had accumulated over the years into his cuffs.

As he went out, he glanced at the clearing in the courtyard.

There were still some sunflower seeds sprinkled there, but they were already moldy.

Hai Dongqing hasn't been here for almost half a year.

Not sure where it went.

The life span of a falcon is usually not too long, this guy can't be dead, right?

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad.

At this time, just outside the gate of the South Palace, a team of patrol soldiers was changing the guard.

Su Chen did not delay, taking advantage of this vacancy, he kicked lightly under his feet, performed a cloud-chasing step, and rose up, his body crossed the palace wall like a light swallow, and then disappeared into the woods outside.

After waiting for a while, he made sure that he was not discovered or tracked, so he changed his outfit and performed a thousand illusions to change his appearance.

After half a column of incense.

I saw a graceful young man in brocade clothes, swaggering out of the woods, and with a slight leap, he headed towards the bustling imperial capital.
