Chapter 141 Xiao Wuzhang is here! The old eunuch who got ripped off!
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in the library!"
The young figure who emerged from the corner was imposing and spoke with a strong voice!
Wearing a set of purple and gold armor, he was young, handsome and extraordinary!
Chen Fan recognized the kid's identity at just one glance!
Slightly surprised, he said softly:
"You ask who our family is?"
"Master...it really is you!" The person who came was none other than the Fourteenth Prince, also known as Prince Pingwu, Xiao Wu!
Having not returned to the palace for over a year, he has grown taller and stronger!
From a distance, it looks like a great general who has conquered all directions!
"Don't call me Master, we haven't taken you as our disciple." Chen Fan smiled slightly, picked up a book, and walked to the table.
"Master, you've suddenly become younger... I didn't recognize you!" Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly and quickly stepped forward to explain.
Chen Fan wouldn't listen.
He opened the book and began to study it carefully.
Xiao Wu sighed upon seeing this.
Without disturbing him, he took out a book and started reading.
He kept stealing glances at his master, a smile playing on his lips.
Soon, three hours had passed.
Chen Fan, now at peace, closed the book.
With a calm gaze, he glanced at Xiao Wu and said:
"We're going home now..."
"Okay... Master..." As soon as Xiao Wu heard that his master had given him a chance to speak, he quickly told him what had happened in the past year.
He recounted everything from his arrival at his fiefdom, his journey to the battlefield, and his return to the palace.
After speaking, Xiao Wu sighed:
"Master, I'm so tired... It's always fighting, and I have to leave again in a couple of days... I really hate to see you go!"
A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.
He thought that, based on what Xiao Wu said, the child did not seem to be targeted by Emperor Yongle after being granted the title of prince and leaving the palace.
On the contrary, because he admired martial arts, he was promoted to the front line to fight.
Thanks to his bravery and fearlessness, Emperor Yongle even rewarded Xiao Wu with the title of Grand General!
Secondly, Chen Fan learned from the child that the Great Yan was going to lose!
From the moment the war began, Da Yuan launched an overwhelming offensive!
However, the Qingyun Sect behind the Great Yan has never shown itself.
This time, Emperor Yongle's return to the capital was not for the purpose of truce, but to transport supplies back to China.
"So, from what you're saying, Emperor Yongle will only cease hostilities after destroying the Great Yan?" Chen Fan asked, squinting his eyes.
"Master, the Emperor has no intention of ceasing hostilities!" Xiao Wu said, his eyes lighting up.
"He...he aspires to unify the eight kingdoms and become the sole emperor!"
What?
Emperor Yongle wanted to unify the eight kingdoms!
Chen Fan was still somewhat surprised to hear this news!
"Master, it's getting late," Xiao Wu said again.
"Besides visiting you, I also wanted to ask you some questions about cultivation this time."
Chen Fan nodded.
When he saw the child just now, he discovered that the child's cultivation was about to break through to the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm, and was only one step away from the Innate Realm!
Given the rule that cultivators are not allowed to interfere in the disputes of mortals, people like him are undoubtedly masters among masters!
Then, Chen Fan casually gave Xiao Wu a couple of pointers.
Suddenly enlightened, he achieved enlightenment on the spot and broke through to the Great Perfection of Acquired Realm!
"Master, you're amazing!" Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly.
"Without you, I don't know when I would have been able to break through to the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm!"
"You came back to visit our family without bringing anything? Our family is practical..." Chen Fan smiled slightly.
"Haha, Master," Xiao Wu said, scratching his head.
"I was in such a rush to get back this time, I didn't even think about it. Maybe next time, next time..."
The words fell.
Xiao Wu left the library in a flash.
Standing there dumbfounded, Chen Fan felt that this kid had gone too far!
He, who had always been the one to get something for nothing, was now the first time someone had gotten something for nothing from him!
Chen Fan, feeling both amused and exasperated, shook his head slightly and then turned to leave...
……
The night passed quickly.
The third quarter of the hour of Mao (5:45 AM).
Chen Fan woke up right on time.
He stretched his back, then got up and went out.
Squeak...
I pushed open the door and looked up; the sky was already turning white.
Judging by this, today is going to be another beautiful day.
With a smile on his face, Chen Fan coughed and headed straight for the horse pen.
"Old eunuch...is here...give Master Hei a radish to quench his thirst..."
Inside the stable, Black Wind tilted its horse's head back, uttering nonchalant words.
Chen Fan ignored it.
After feeding the imperial horse, he turned and headed towards the kitchen.
"Old eunuch, come back here... You want the horse to serve you, but you don't even feed it properly..."
Hearing the shouts from Black Wind behind him, Chen Fan ignored them.
As he walked into the kitchen, he saw Xiaodeng approaching as soon as he entered.
"Godfather...something terrible has happened in the palace! I heard from the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department that assassins attacked the palace last night, and quite a few things were stolen!"
Oh!
Chen Fan, expressionless, simply said "Oh".
He habitually sat in a chair and reached out to warm himself by the fire.
"Godfather, these past few days, we've had a lot of black mud on us..." Little Stool said again:
"After washing it, things seem much clearer in our house. What do you think happened?"
"Marrow cleansing..." Chen Fan said softly.
"Those radishes and sweet potatoes contain spiritual energy. Eating so many of them will naturally help expel impurities from your body..."
After speaking, Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Dengzi's cultivation level.
Hmm... I haven't broken through to the Iron Skin Realm yet!
It remains as stable as ever!
"Godfather, this feels so good!" Little Stool exclaimed with ecstasy.
"Will our family become as powerful as you, Godfather, after a while? No, perhaps a little weaker than you, Godfather..."
"Maybe, possibly, probably!" Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Cultivate well, we're leaving now..."
"Godfather, take care..." Little Stool watched his godfather leave.
Leave the kitchen.
With his hands behind his back, Chen Fan returned to the house.
He took out the golden bowl and began to eat breakfast.
Two large sweet potatoes, and nine large bowls of spiritual water.
After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Fan took out the remaining high-grade spirit stones to absorb spiritual energy.
Instantly, the spiritual power within his body began to surge!
Unhurriedly, Chen Fan compressed his spiritual energy and circulated it throughout his body...
……
In the Imperial Garden.
The Yongle Emperor, dressed in full armor, is standing beside the Tai'an Pond, depicting a portrait.
Standing beside him were Master Ren and Commander Ma of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
"Your Majesty... we cannot rule out the possibility that assassins stole the agarwood..."
Commander Ma's voice trembled as he said:
"After a night of searching, I discovered that those assassins may have come from the Cult of Light..."
"It's the Brightness Cult again..." Emperor Yongle frowned and said.
"My palace is no longer Jianwen's palace... Kill all those who were on duty last night!"
"Yes... Your Majesty!" Commander Ma's expression changed, and he immediately turned and left.
Seeing this, Master Ren, who was standing to the side, sighed inwardly.
Just when I thought the grand imperial city formation was about to be completed, a thief suddenly broke into the palace!
Of all the things these thieves could steal, they had to steal his petrified wood!
Master Ren, with a bitter feeling in his heart, sighed and said:
"Your Majesty... I too am guilty of oversight..."
"What makes the Imperial Preceptor say such a thing!" Emperor Yongle interrupted with a smile.
"Come! Imperial Advisor, this is a veteran painter who has served in the palace for decades... Let him paint my portrait with you!"
A veteran painter in the palace for decades?
Master Ren was taken aback, then his eyes lit up as if he had just thought of something…
