Chapter 537: Chapter 478: Better to Plan Ahead than to Scramble at the Last Minute!

As the man in the black robe stopped on the back mountain, Yang Zhenshan watched him warily.

There was a sense of familiarity about this person, but it was so faint that he couldn’t think of where it came from.

The man in the black robe turned around, slowly removed the black cloth from his head, revealing an aged face.

Looking at this face, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but open his mouth wide.

”Eunuch Chen!”

Chen Zhongshu!

No wonder he felt familiar!

But wasn’t this old eunuch supposed to be guarding Emperor Chengping’s mausoleum?

How come he has run to the Capital City?

And this old eunuch is actually an Innate Martial Artist?

”Marquis Yang, long time no see!” Chen Zhongshu’s face showed a kind and gentle smile.

Such a smile that seemed so amiable and so harmless!

But this old eunuch was actually an Innate Martial Artist!

Harmless!

What bullshit!

”Greetings to Eunuch Chen, Marquis Yang never expected to be able to see you again!” Yang Zhenshan gave a cupped-hand salute.

Chen Zhongshu smiled and said, ”Marquis Yang hasn’t forgotten me. Didn’t you have Zhang Mingzhong write a letter to me?”

Yang Zhenshan’s expression flickered slightly; this old fellow was indeed cunning, even guessing this.

Indeed, he had Zhang Mingzhong write a letter to Chen Zhongshu mentioning the matter in Nansheng, but Zhang Mingzhong did not mention him in the letter.

”It seems the Marquis was overly worried, Eunuch Chen had already noticed the issue!” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Chen Zhongshu shook his head slightly, ”It’s not me who noticed the problem, but Your Majesty!”

”Your Majesty!” Yang Zhenshan’s eyebrows raised.

This Emperor was definitely not Emperor Chengping; it must be Emperor Yanping then.

He was full of complaints about Emperor Yanping—how the Emperor played the game of chasing away the birds and hiding the bow.

Humph, if he didn’t dislike causing trouble, he would certainly go find that dog of an Emperor for a talk.

”Yes, His Majesty has commanded me to thoroughly investigate the matter in Nansheng!”

”Oh, so have you found anything?” Yang Zhenshan was quite curious about this.

Nansheng was no small figure, having crippled Wang Zhongzhi and the Secret Martial Guards.

Even he himself was likely recalled to the Capital City because of Wang Zhongzhi.

”We found something, but we haven’t been able to root out who’s behind him!” Chen Zhongshu said.

The one behind it all!

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes flickered.

This meant that Nansheng was not Emperor Yanping’s man!

This was getting interesting!

Nansheng was Emperor Yanping’s personal eunuch, but it seems he had another master.

Was Nansheng serving another master from the start or was he bought over later on?

If it’s the former, then that’s very interesting indeed.

Now that Emperor Yanping was forty years old, Nansheng had been by his side for thirty years; someone had implanted Nansheng beside Emperor Yanping thirty years ago.

Tsk tsk, how terrifying!

”So, what is Eunuch Chen doing here seeking Marquis Yang in the middle of the night?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

Chen Zhongshu looked at Yang Zhenshan and said, ”I would like to ask for Marquis Yang’s help!”

”What help?”

”I need to borrow the strength of your Personal Guard Camp!”

”I don’t have the Personal Guard Camp at my disposal right now,” Yang Zhenshan said with a curl of his lip.

”Then let’s borrow the guards of Marquis Mansion!” Chen Zhongshu replied with a smile, not annoyed.

”What for?”

”To take down Chunzai Hall!” A sharp light flashed in Chen Zhongshu’s eyes.

Chunzai Hall?

Yang Zhenshan’s brow furrowed slightly, ”Isn’t Chunzai Hall a study?”

Chunzai Hall was a very famous study in the Capital City, full of books, and very popular among scholars.

Many scholars liked to read and paint in Chunzai Hall, and discuss classics and canons.

”Yes, but it hides a sizeable force within. This force has many connections with Nansheng; they are surely in cahoots!” Chen Zhongshu said.

A gathering place for scholars but hiding many Martial Artists seemed unreasonable.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard thoughtfully, ”Why doesn’t Mr. Zhang use the imperial guard instead?”

The Twelve Camps of the imperial guard were responsible for the defense of the Capital City; logically, it would be most appropriate for the imperial guard to handle this.

But now, he was merely a Marquis resting at home; for him to use force in the city was not just unreasonable, it was against the rules.

”The imperial guard must be purged!”

”They have infiltrated people in the imperial guard, too?”

”Yes!” Chen Zhongshu nodded.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes gleamed; this opponent seemed formidable, not only having infiltrated the Imperial City but also the imperial guard, and apparently, quite a number of people.

”I need His Majesty’s edict!” Yang Zhenshan said after some thought.NovelFire

Helping was no big deal, but he couldn’t just take action lightly; after all, it involved using force in the Capital City. Without Emperor Yanping’s decree, he could easily be charged with rebellion.

”Here, the decree you’re asking for!”

Chen Zhongshu presented an imperial decree, pulling it out of his sleeve in front of an astonished Yang Zhenshan.

Taking the decree, Yang Zhenshan felt somewhat set up.

This decree was ready; obviously, both Chen Zhongshu and Emperor Yanping had long planned this.

He opened and checked the imperial decree.

A genuine imperial decree, with a very clear Jade Seal on it, not just with the Jade Seal but the handwriting seemed to be from Emperor Yanping himself.

”So, Your Majesty was purposely neglecting me?” Yang Zhenshan’s mouth twitched slightly.

”It was Nansheng who fed malicious advice! His Majesty was only employing a strategy!”

”What about the Secret Martial Guards?” Yang Zhenshan inquired.

”When Nansheng targeted the Secret Martial Guards, His Majesty had not yet noticed, but now Wang Zhongzhi has already come to the Capital!”

Chen Zhongshu gave Yang Zhenshan an unexpected answer.

”Wang Zhongzhi has come to the Capital?”

”Yes, it was I who asked Zhang Mingzhong to invite him from the small river village!” Chen Zhongshu said.
