The old steward got up very early and led the servants to busy themselves with various tasks. The palace was too big and it was very troublesome to set up. In addition, there were not many people, so it was even more difficult.
Fortunately, we have Bupleurum, a hard worker who not only loves to bury himself in his work but is also as strong as an ox.
Chu Yang also wanted to follow the servants in making the arrangements, but as soon as he started, he frightened the old steward. The old steward had to kowtow to Chu Yang and kept saying, "Your Highness, you mustn't do this," and refused to let Chu Yang touch him.
In his view, although the previous princes were unreliable, they still understood the difference between superiors and inferiors and would not make things difficult for them, the servants.
it's good now.
After going out, he came back even more absurd, and who knows how many more jokes he will make in the future.
Thinking of this, the old butler looked at Chu Yang with a lifeless expression until he put down what he was holding and left the servants' "work site".
"I can't stay in this Prince's mansion for even a day longer!"
Chu Yang stepped out of the palace gates, cursing and swearing. As soon as he looked up, he saw Cao Zhengchun walking towards him with an imperial edict in his hand.
"Your Highness, what a coincidence! I was just looking for you. His Majesty has issued a decree."
"Bring it here."
Chu Yang reached out and took the imperial edict from Cao Zhengchun, who was stunned. According to normal procedure, Chu Yang should have knelt down to receive the edict.
"I haven't been feeling well lately, especially my knees."
"Your Highness, please take care of your health."
Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, Cao Zhengchun's lips twitched involuntarily. (End of Chapter)
Chapter 194. Ruthless! It's huge!
194.
Chu Yang could guess the contents of the imperial edict without even reading it; it was nothing more than using the Mid-Autumn Festival as an excuse to bring him to the palace, ostensibly for family reunion and moon-viewing.
Cao Zhengchun had something to hide, so he didn't dare linger for long. After handing the imperial edict to Chu Yang, he hurriedly left.
Chu Yang didn't even glance at it before tossing the imperial edict aside and swaggering into the street.
The capital city was filled with many strangers, most of whom had come to watch the duel. To ensure the city's security, the number of patrolling soldiers also increased, and the frequency of patrols also doubled.
Many people wanted to watch the duel, but it was impossible to put them all inside the palace; the vast majority of them would watch from outside.
Taoism has a spell called "Mirror Flower Water Moon", which can be used to summon a water curtain to project a scene from a certain place.
Those outside the palace could then witness this duel.
It felt like a live broadcast from ancient times.
Those martial arts practitioners who could personally enter the Forbidden City were almost all leaders of their respective sects, and the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to them.
It can't be said that he did nothing during his many years in office; at least the relationship between the imperial court and the major sects was relatively good.
Chu Yang went to a restaurant he used to frequent. Because of the surge in people in the capital, it was already packed early in the morning. Fortunately, the restaurant recognized him as a "distinguished guest" and immediately made room for him in a private room.
After so many years of throwing money around, it's finally starting to have some effect.
As Chu Yang sat in the private room, waiting for the waiter to bring the food and wine, he silently pondered the trump cards of Ye Gucheng and the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
Both families have unusual origins and must know more than Li Xunhuan.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang suddenly chuckled and said, "In the end, I should know more than them. I've been a wise prince for so many years, it's all been for nothing..."
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the wine and dishes were served one after another. Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the window. Chu Yang turned his head and looked down, only to find that it was people from the Divine Marquis's Mansion.
Two marquises and one gate, two factories and one guard—except for the Dragon Guard Manor, the other five families all have uniforms, making it easy to identify which family someone belongs to at a glance.
Most of the people in the Divine Marquis's Mansion wear a black robe when they go out, so some people call them the Black Robe Army.
Since it's the Divine Marquis's Mansion, there must be either demons or monsters nearby!
Since the establishment of the Divine Marquis's Mansion, such filthy things have not been seen in the capital for many years. One can imagine how many monsters and demons this duel has attracted.
The constables of the Divine Constable's Mansion surrounded a woman in a wheelchair like stars around the moon.
The woman wore a veil, her eyes were like ice, and her appearance was not visible, so her age was also unknown. However, her skin was as smooth as cream and delicate as if it could be broken with a touch, so she must not be very old.
As for his figure...
Chu Yang's gaze fell on the woman's waist and hips, the breathtaking curves making him nod in approval.
man.
At first glance, you look at the face; at second glance, you look at the chest; at third glance, you look at either the buttocks or the legs—there's not much difference.
As a regular at brothels, Chu Yang could easily imagine how perfect the body beneath the dress must be. Of course, it was just a thought; he knew that the woman in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.
With a disability and a wheelchair, so many constables from the Divine Constable's Mansion follow his lead. Who else could it be but "Ruthless" Sheng Yayu, one of the Four Great Constables?
"It really is a woman?"
"interesting……"
Li Gexiao had mentioned before that the Four Great Constables and the Four Divine Constables were both three men and one woman. Chu Yang kept this in mind, and thus became somewhat curious about Sheng Yayu.
She has a disability and is a woman. What is it about her that makes her the leader of the Four Great Constables?
Just as Chu Yang was thinking, the constables on the street took action. They quickly landed on both ends of the street and the surrounding houses, sealing off the entire street.
Unlike the Six Doors constables who operate with "light equipment," the constables of the Divine Marquis's Mansion are more like special forces.
Each of them wore clothes made of a special material that could effectively resist attacks from the demon race, and they were all equipped with small hand crossbows.
This type of crossbow shares the same origin as the Demon-Subduing Crossbow of the Qi Family Army. Although it is much smaller in size, its lethality is by no means weaker.
They used specially made crossbow bolts, which were mixed with meteorites from outer space as materials.
The Divine Marquis's Mansion is also equipped with many special items for dealing with demons, hidden under a wide black robe, most of which were invented by Zhuge Divine Marquis himself.
He himself is an extremely skilled array master.
After the entire street was brought under control, the local residents of Beijing, though somewhat panicked, obediently cooperated with the investigation.
Body search and questioning are necessary procedures.
Those martial arts practitioners who had come from afar were clearly not used to this kind of thing, and each of them had a very resistant expression on their face.
Outside, everyone here is a respected figure, but here they are being searched like criminals. This stark contrast is somewhat hard to accept.
This resistance almost reached its peak, especially when the constables reached out to touch them.
Some people silently gripped their weapons.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Whoever dares to move will be shot to death!"
A cold female voice rang out, and then a crossbow bolt was shot out, embedding itself in the stone pavement and creating a small crater.
rub rub!
The sound of swords being drawn echoed throughout the streets, their cold glints gleaming in the sunlight.
The sense of resistance that permeated the crowd vanished instantly.
Chu Yang laughed when he saw this scene. These "martial arts heroes" were all quite adaptable. It just depended on how hard the opponent's fist was. Their spirit and adaptability were extremely strong.
Restaurants were also subject to investigation, and soon police officers searched the area from the lobby on the first floor.
Boom boom boom!
The heavy footsteps were unusually intense, and the sounds of things being smashed could be heard from time to time, mixed with the panicked shouts of customers and the shopkeeper's pleas for mercy.
It was a noisy scene.
The Divine Marquis's Mansion operates with an arrogant attitude, since they have Zhuge Divine Marquis backing them up, so they don't mind using harsh methods. In contrast, if they let a demon or a powerful demon escape, the consequences would be much more severe.
The footsteps grew closer and closer to Chu Yang's private room until, with a loud "bang," the door was kicked open forcefully.
"Those inside, come out for inspection!"
A tall constable dressed in a black robe entered the private room, his eyes quickly locking onto Chu Yang.
"Go somewhere else, there's nothing worth checking here."
Chu Yang sat by the window drinking wine, his eyes never leaving Sheng Yayu. He was very curious about how many hidden weapons were in that wheelchair. If it were modified, wouldn't it be a walking arsenal?
When he heard Chu Yang tell him to go somewhere else, the black-robed constable was clearly stunned. Since he put on this uniform, he had never encountered a setback. Most people would tremble at the mere sight of him from afar, let alone utter any arrogant words.
"Boy, you are so brave!"
The sword flashed!
The black-robed constable actually took action directly.
Chu Yang glanced at him.
After one breath.
The constable flew out of the private room of the restaurant, crashed headfirst at Sheng Yayu's feet, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Sheng Yayu looked up.
Their eyes met.
