"A person who cultivates immortality."

Zhou Yi lowered his eyes and stared at Yuan Shun for a long time.

Yuan Shun felt great pressure coming on him. He had been a top-notch player in the arena for a hundred years, but he didn't even dare to think about resisting at this time.

Peerless old monster!

When the new king ascended the throne, Yuan Shun also saw the few worshippers in the palace, but they were not as good as King Samsara.

Zhou Yi has been cultivating his magic skills for nearly thirty years. From the beginning, he was full of energy, and now he senses the existence of Spirit Soul, and his progress is much faster than that of Origin Returning Art.

Now I am trying to suppress the soul of Yuan Shun, and the effect is quite satisfactory.

"Xiao Yuanzi, if I don't take action, are you going to hide this matter?"

Yuan Shun was horrified. "I don't dare!"

"I don't care whether you dare or not. If the news is true, the matter will be over. If it is false..."

Zhou Yi didn't continue talking. No matter how good Chess Piece was, he was just Chess Piece. He could just crush it casually and spend ten years cultivating it. There would be no reluctance to part with it.

"I understand. I have been investigating this matter secretly for a long time. Nine times out of ten, it is true!"

Yuan Shun breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the bet was right. King Samsara was obsessed with Path of Immortality. When he heard about this, he became very angry but also suppressed it.

After learning the news last year, Yuan Shun has been hiding it in the bottom of his heart, treating it as a life-saving straw or a promotion step.

"I don't know much about the Chen family."

Zhou Yi recalled, "I just remember that Marquis Chen had a granddaughter named Chen Qing. She was quite famous for her beauty in Beijing, and her character was arrogant and domineering. He was once jealous of Censor Cui's daughter's appearance, and actually cut her face with a sharp knife, and was convicted and imprisoned."

This matter made a big fuss in Shenjing. The imperial censor's official rank was not high, but he was very easy to provoke.

Not only did Marquis Chen personally come to apologize, he also invited Consort Xian to intercede with Emperor Jinglong, and only then was he forgiven by Censor Cui and released from Heavenly Prison.

Yuan Shun nodded and said, "I am slightly impressed."

"That Censor Cui is a member of the Cui family in the south of the Yangtze River. He is far more than an ordinary censor. Even the ministers in the cabinet respect him."

Zhou Yi said, "So, Chen Qing is not only jealous and domineering, but also brainless."

Yuan Shun nodded and said, "The Lord means to let Chen Qing commit another crime and implicate Chen Yang?"

"It's not involved in ordinary things."

Zhou Yi said, "According to the Fengyang Kingdom ancestral system, when the new king ascends the throne and establishes his empire, he will inevitably be drafted. Through Feng Zhong's path, you will select Chen Qing into the palace and pass the female history to give him the title of concubine."

Feng Zhong works part-time as the commander of Brocade Guard, and his main job is to be the palm eunuch. It is easy to arrange for Chen Qing to enter the palace as a concubine.

At the same time, Emperor Zhengtong wooed Xungui and was willing to facilitate this matter.

Yuan Shun asked doubtfully, "Chen Yang has become the uncle of the state, wouldn't Brocade Guard be even more proud of it?"

"The imperial palace is just a place where no one is allowed to go, but the harem is a bloody and tragic place. With Chen Qing's domineering and stupid temperament, it won't take long for him to be punished by death."

Zhou Yi said slowly, "Don't say that Chen Yang's position is not guaranteed, Marquis Chen has to be demoted one level again!"

"Thank you, Lord, for your guidance!"

Yuan Shun thought about it carefully and found that this method was quite feasible. With the power of his godfather Feng Zhong in the palace, it would be difficult for Chen Qing not to commit a heinous crime.

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, "Tell me, what news do you know?"

"Your Majesty, according to Feng Zhong, Imperial Prison not only has an above-ground cell, but also has an underground floor, which was built by the Chongming Dynasty."

Yuan Shun said, "Originally, it was just a special cell to hold some shameful criminals. However, according to Feng Zhong, there is only one person in the underground cell."

Zhou Yi's mind moved and he made a vague guess.

"That man is said to be an immortal. When he returned to the mortal world to visit his relatives, he was captured by Emperor Chongming's design."

Yuan Shun continued, "I didn't believe it at first. After all, Emperor Chongming was obsessed with Path of Immortality, almost crazy. However, after checking the Brocade Guard file, I found something unusual. It was the underground cell that Imperial Prison started building when he was imprisoned in that person."

"That man is still alive?"

Zhou Yi has lived from the Chongming Dynasty to the present, and I know that the Dog Emperor was not obsessed with Path of Immortality from the beginning. He had been in power for ten years at first, and he could not be called a wise monarch, but he was barely diligent.

On the tenth year, he suddenly stopped going to court and handed over all matters to Chief Minister, who was only responsible for making circles or crosses on the memorials.

The Dog Emperor hid in the Shangyang Palace to practice Daoism, and ordered Brocade Guard to search all over the world in the name of the birth plan, and all the rare and precious treasures with names and surnames must be presented to the palace.

"It should be alive."

Yuan Shun said, "I humbly order people to investigate carefully. Brocade Guard has a dozen old soldiers. They will specially prepare meals and send them to the underground cell."

"Well, I'll take credit for this."

When Zhou Yi spoke, his figure had disappeared from the carriage, and his voice was still ringing. "If you dare to hide it in the future, the punishment I am proficient in will be a hundred times more severe than Brocade Guard!"

"I understand."

Yuan Shun knelt for a long time before he dared to raise his head.

"Fortunately, he didn't become a traitor, otherwise even the emperor wouldn't be able to protect him with this old monster's mentality!"

Yuan Shun breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and wrote a letter, ordering his subordinates to send it to his godfather Feng Zhong's house.

Heavenly Prison.

It's dark but not cold.

Every ten days and a half, Zhou Yi will cast House-Protecting Talisman to cleanse the remaining souls of prisoners who died unjustly and tragically.

In this way, both the jailer and the prisoners will live longer.

Zhou Yi was still delivering food unhurriedly. Even though he knew that Imperial Prison was suspected of being a monk, he was not in a hurry to investigate.

Martial Grandmaster is almost invincible in the world, Fengyang Kingdom is rarely dangerous, but Imperial Prison is one of them. Not to mention the various traps and traps, the cell where the monks were held was underground, and it would be difficult to escape if the opening was blocked.

Furthermore, even the monks can't run away, which is enough to know the danger!

"The news about the monks is not important. What is important is that the Dog Emperor can find the immortal, which means that Brocade Guard is on the right path to monitor the world!"

"Immortals originate from the mortal world. Whether they are visiting relatives or returning to their roots after falling leaves, there is never more than one."

"Wait a little longer. Once you have complete control over Brocade Guard, you will definitely be able to find traces of the person who cultivated immortality."

Zhou Yi After several dynasties, sitting and watching the changes, his will has been tempered like stone.

Not to mention a mere monk, even if an immortal weapon falls from the sky, Zhou Yi's first thought is to escape Fengyang Kingdom, lest the mighty fighting skills destroy Qianli.

Little has changed in Heavenly Prison, except that Yu Su is back to working out.

Zhou Yi admires Yu Su. The first thing is of course his integrity.

It is said that Brocade Guard wanted to frame Yu Su, but when he saw the simple house of a first-class official, there was only an old deaf-mute servant in the house. Even the commander Feng Zhong shook his head, either in admiration or helplessness, and so far he has not been able to convict him definitely.

Secondly, Yu Su is tenacious and resolute. Even though he was imprisoned twice, he is still full of confidence in reforming the government in the future.

By learning from others, we can know the gains and losses.

This day.

Zhou Yi brought wine, meat and food, and talked about Shenjing in his spare time.

Yu Su heard this and said in surprise, "Brother Li, did you say that after the death of Duke Cheng, His Majesty was posthumously named King of Qicheng, with the posthumous title of Wu Yi, and was he worthy of Imperial Ancestral Temple?"

Since Duke Who Pacifies the Nation had the posthumous title Wuzhong and Chancellor Zhang had the posthumous title Wenzhong, the civil and military posthumous title Fengyang Kingdom suddenly became worthless. Regardless of whether he has achieved any merit during his lifetime, if he establishes a good relationship with His Majesty and officials before his death, he will always be able to receive a high-class posthumous title.

After all, even Chancellor Zhang got Wenzhong. Those who do not rebel or kill the king are the most loyal ministers!

Zhou Yi smiled and congratulated, "Lao Yu, you have another chance!"

"Yes!"

Yu Su waved his fist. "I will definitely make it this time!"

Zhou Yi looked at the passionate Yu Su, and suddenly no longer had any intention of teasing.

Thinking about reform in this world is the same as trying to change the world, and you are destined to fail!
