Chapter 346 Questioning
Outside the capital of the Great Zhou, Pan Chengfeng opened his mouth, and Li Zao continued, "The Emperor of the Great Zhou has been preparing to depose the Crown Prince for many years. The reason why he has not taken action yet is that the timing is not right, and the other is that he wants to uproot the Crown Prince's party at once, leaving nothing behind." Qian'er asked, "So, everything is under his control?" Li Zao nodded and said, "Yes, everything is under his control. Tomorrow he will issue an order to depose the Crown Prince, and everything will have a result tomorrow."
In the Great Zhou Palace, the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Zhixiong was still reviewing memorials, just like usual. The chief eunuch Zhao Quan saw that it was already midnight, and reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's already midnight, and you have to attend the court tomorrow, so go to bed early." After hearing the eunuch's words, Zhou Zhixiong put down his pen and asked calmly, "Are you ready for tomorrow's affairs?"
Zhao Quan lowered his head and replied, "Everything is ready, and there is no risk of error." Zhou Zhixiong sighed, and then laughed at himself, "My son actually wants to attack me. Zhao Quan, did I really do something wrong?" After the emperor was sure that the prince was really going to attack, he was confused for a while. Now he asked others again, and it seemed that he began to doubt his own actions.
Zhao Quan knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of those ministers! Those damned ones were the ones who instigated the prince. The prince used to be very filial..." Zhou Zhixiong closed his eyes in some pain and said, "Yes, the prince used to be very filial, but why did he change later?"
Zhou Zhixiong couldn't figure it out, so he got up and returned to his bedroom with the help of the eunuchs. After the eunuchs left, Zhou Zhixiong did not go to bed, but stood in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, and said sadly: "Killing the king and killing the father, Zhou Shijun you are really confused!" "Okay, don't be sad." Zhou Zhixiong was startled and subconsciously shouted: "Assassin!" Pan Chengfeng scratched his ears and said: "Don't shout, I have set up a ban here, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago."
Zhou Zhixiong didn't believe him at all and shouted, "Master, help me! Master!" Pan Chengfeng was not in a hurry at all. After Zhou Zhixiong shouted five or six times and calmed down, he said lazily, "Don't keep shouting? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Zhou Zhixiong calmed down and regained his kingly attitude. The first thing he thought of was that the prince sent someone to assassinate him, so he asked, "Who are you? Did the prince and Zhang Zhao send you to assassinate me?"
Pan Chengfeng said disdainfully: "Except for my woman, no one can order me around. Well, I came to see you because I want you to have a chat, don't be so nervous." Zhou Zhixiong looked at Pan Chengfeng and said: "What can I talk to you about? You are a cultivator, if you have something to do, you should go to the immortal master of Qianyuan Sect." "Qianyuan Sect? How long has it been since you last saw the cultivators of Qianyuan Sect? They left a long time ago. Now the Great Zhou belongs to me, uh, it should be said that it belongs to another immortal family, the Zhong family, and the Zhong family belongs to me? Do you understand?"
Zhou Zhixiong said, "I don't know. Last year, the 2 billion crystal beads were given to the steward of Qianyuan Sect." Pan Chengfeng explained, "The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect died, and now the Great Zhou has been reassigned to the Zhong family. The fact that you have not been able to use your fists and feet in the past few decades is also related to this. Do you understand?" Zhou Zhixiong was surprised and said, "Don't people who cultivate immortals have long lifespans? Why?" Pan Chengfeng said, "Long lifespans also have a limit. The old man is eight or nine thousand years old. Isn't it normal for him to die in meditation?"
Zhou Zhixiong clenched his fists in excitement. The ancestor of the sect who had controlled the Great Zhou for so long was actually dead. Doesn't this mean that the Great Zhou has a chance to break away from the sect's control? However, after seeing Pan Chengfeng, Zhou Zhixiong felt powerless again and said, "The Zhong family is here to inform me that the crystal beads will be handed over to the Zhong family in the future?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "This is just one of the reasons. We will send someone to protect you in a while, and it will be real protection, not surveillance. If anyone dares to interfere in mortal affairs, just come to me and I will skin him alive~"
Pan Chengfeng said it lightly, how could Zhou Zhixiong believe it easily, so he asked: "How can I believe you?" Pan Chengfeng blinked and said: "Yes, Qian'er, how can I make him believe it." A red light flashed beside her, and Qian'er appeared beside Pan Chengfeng. She walked towards Zhou Zhixiong slowly, handed Zhou Zhixiong a jade slip and said: "This is a jade slip given to you by the head of Qianyuan Sect, you will know it when you see it." Zhou Zhixiong has the foundation building cultivation, but he has not and has no chance to learn magic, but there is no problem for him to read the jade slip.
Zhou Zhixiong stared at Qian'er for a breath, thinking to himself, "There is such a beautiful woman..." After reading the jade slip, Zhou Zhixiong completely believed what Pan Chengfeng said, and bowed slightly, "I am the Emperor of the Great Zhou, Zhou Zhixiong, and I greet the two immortal masters." Pan Chengfeng pulled Qian'er back, put his arm around her waist and said, "Your Majesty, you should be happy. You and I are predestined. My master, Zhou Shihao, is your son, so we are related, although my master doesn't seem to like you."
Even though Zhou Zhixiong was the emperor, he lost his composure at this moment and exclaimed: "You are Xiao Shiwu's apprentice?! But..." Pan Chengfeng explained: "That's right, Master didn't cultivate immortality. He is my body-cultivation master. My immortal master is someone else. You don't need to know this. Now let me tell you the second reason why I came to see you this time." Zhou Zhixiong adjusted his mentality and said: "Master, please speak."
Pan Chengfeng said, "The main reason I came to Da Zhou to see you this time is to inquire about the whereabouts of our master. I remember that he should have come to this palace to look for you ten years ago, and he has been missing since then." Zhou Zhixiong said nervously, "Little Fifteen is missing? But, I don't know where he went. I wanted to keep him back then, but unfortunately he wasn't interested in this." Pan Chengfeng sighed in disappointment, "Where on earth did our master go? Logically, he can't fly, and the clues should be in the nearby countries. How come there is no news at all?
Qian'er comforted him, "Chengfeng, don't worry, let's ask around, Master should be fine." Pan Chengfeng nodded and was about to leave when Zhou Zhixiong hesitated and said, "Maybe, maybe Jun'er knows something about him. They had the best relationship back then." Pan Chengfeng slapped his head and thought to himself, "How could I forget about the Third Prince? Go ask him, maybe there is a clue."
Pan Chengfeng looked at Zhou Zhixiong and smiled, "Emperor of the Great Zhou, thank you for your help. I promise you a favor. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you." Zhou Zhixiong said lightly, "I don't have anything I need the immortal master to do. I just hope that the immortal master will tell me after finding Xiao Shiwu." "This emperor doesn't seem to be as ruthless as Uncle Niu said. Forget it. He is Uncle Niu's father after all. Let's give him some benefits." Pan Chengfeng muttered to himself.
Then Pan Chengfeng glanced at Qian'er, who took out a bottle of pills and handed them to Zhou Zhixiong, saying, "This is Ningyuan Pill. You can break through Jindan and continue to be the emperor. But you can't practice magic for the time being. When you abdicate and return to the Zhong family, I will arrange a master for you to make your immortal path smooth." Pan Chengfeng added, "Your Majesty, when you settle accounts with the princelings, please let Li Dachun, the governor of Fancheng, go. He is very talented and you can make good use of him."
Pan Chengfeng and Qian'er left the palace and asked on the way: "How are the emperor's guards arranged?" Qian'er said: "Four Yuanying stage, twenty Jindan stage, ten years per term, and generous rewards." Pan Chengfeng thought for a while and said: "No, ten years is too long, it's easy to slack off, five years per term, and the rewards remain the same." Qian'er naturally had no objection, this money was a drop in the bucket for the Zhong family. Now the Zhong family has also started the points system, and you can't just take the Zhong family's resources for nothing. Everyone who wants to get more resources has to do tasks. The Zhong family's current task system is also very complete, in fact, it is just copied from the Yu Lei Sect.
The two of them didn't walk for long before they arrived at the Third Prince's residence. It was past midnight, and there were basically no mortals who hadn't gone to bed at this time. The Third Prince had naturally gone to bed to rest, but it was destined that many people would not be able to sleep tonight. The Third Emperor tossed and turned in bed, not feeling sleepy at all.
