Chapter 139 Emperor Yongle's Triumphant Return to the Zhang Dynasty! Master Ren has come to the
Five more days passed quickly.
News has come from the palace.
Emperor Yongle has returned to the capital in triumph!
Chen Fan had just returned from refining pills in the bowl when he learned of this news.
Lately, he's either been studying swordsmanship, puppetry, or alchemy, or busy cultivating and setting up formations.
When he arrived at the kitchen early this morning, Xiaodengzi told him the news.
"Godfather...why don't we go out and have a look? I heard the eunuch in the palace said...the city is quite lively!"
Upon hearing the inquiry.
Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed:
"Seven or eight old eunuchs from the Jianwen Emperor's reign died in the palace the other day... Do you still dare to go out for a stroll? Go ahead, I won't stop you..."
The little stool immediately became quiet.
Recalling the horrific events that had occurred in the palace these past two days, he said with concern:
"So many eunuchs have died in the Imperial Household Department, the Bureau of Armory, the Laundry Department, and the Imperial Sacrifices... Godfather, do you think it's going to be our Imperial Horse Stable's turn?"
Chen Fan nodded after hearing this.
He sensed that Master Ren was becoming increasingly impatient!
Just two days ago he only killed one or two eunuchs, but now he's killing four or five of them!
If they keep killing like this, it's only a matter of time before they find the Imperial Horse Administration.
Chen Fan has been quite busy these past two days because of this.
After chatting with Xiaodengzi for a few minutes, he turned and left.
Leave the kitchen.
Chen Fan did not rush back to his room.
Having more pressing matters to attend to, he went directly to the main gate of the Imperial Horse Stables.
It is faintly visible from the doorway to the inside.
Over the past two days, Chen Fan has placed many different kinds of stones in various corners.
If Master Ren were to pass by here, he would surely discover that these stones are the key points of the bewitching array.
In addition to these, Chen Fan also set up many traps and various smaller formations within the array.
He made arrangements from top to bottom, covering the entire horse pen.
If Master Ren were to find the Imperial Stables, he would immediately fall into this formation.
Although Chen Fan knew this was like showing off his skills in front of Guan Yu, he still wanted to delay as much time as possible.
Otherwise, if the other side were to break in, he probably wouldn't even have time to run away.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Fan began to examine everything again from beginning to end.
After confirming that there were no problems with the formation, he went to the horse pen.
"Old eunuch, let me out... I, Blackie, will not stay with these ordinary horses!"
Inside the horse pen, Black Wind was keeping several imperial horses locked up.
Its eyes were full of resentment, and it wished it could escape from the Imperial Stables right now!
Unfortunately, the old eunuch had set a trap for it, and it couldn't escape even a step.
"What are you yelling for? If you yell again, I'll castrate you!" Chen Fan said with a smile.
"You raise horses for a thousand days, but use them for only one. Keep a close watch on them here. If anyone breaks in, notify us immediately!"
Upon hearing this...
Black Wind immediately became obedient!
Helpless, it could only submit to the old eunuch's tyranny!
After checking that the formation was in good condition.
Chen Fan then turned and left.
……
In the Imperial Garden of the Royal Palace.
Beside Tai'an Pond.
Emperor Yongle looked at Jingshan Park, which was being rebuilt, with a calm expression in his eyes.
Tall and imposing, with a menacing aura, he exuded an aura of authority without even trying!
"I won't be staying long this time... Everything you wanted is here. Are you confident?"
Master Ren, who was standing to the side, nodded when he heard the question.
He chuckled as he began preparations:
"Your Majesty, before these things... I could only guarantee defeating Foundation Establishment cultivators, but with these things, I can guarantee that any cultivator below Core Formation who comes here will surely die!"
"Alright..." Emperor Yongle nodded, his gaze sharp as he said:
"Hearing this, I am relieved. After destroying Yan, the next target will be Han..."
Master Ren smiled but said nothing!
Looking at the ambitious and aspiring Yongle Emperor before him, he was filled with emotion!
If Emperor Jianwen had possessed such civil and military achievements, he probably wouldn't have been wiped out by Emperor Changchun overnight!
Lost in thought, Master Ren was about to leave when...
But then the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Ma, came over and said:
"Your Majesty, the investigation is complete... The Brightness Cult that has been causing such a stir among the people recently... seems to be an organization of Jianwen... a former subordinate of Emperor Jianwen!"
What?
Emperor Jianwen?
Master Ren's noodles twitched, his eyes filled with disbelief!
"Jianwen should still be alive..." Emperor Yongle said calmly.
"Continue the investigation! Find him! I want to see him!"
Yes!
Commander Ma of the Embroidered Uniform Guard turned and left.
Upon hearing that Emperor Jianwen was still alive, Master Ren, who was stunned in place, felt a mix of emotions.
Thinking of that emperor who treated him well, I feel a little regretful...
……
Midnight.
Inside the Imperial Horse Stables.
Chen Fan had just finished his cultivation when he sensed someone approaching.
He was taken aback for a moment without showing any emotion, and then quickly got up.
Chen Fan, who instinctively wanted to go out, suddenly stopped!
"We probably can't beat them... How about we observe them from the shadows..."
He swallowed hard, muttering to himself, and then disappeared into the darkness!
Outside the Imperial Horse Stables.
A man dressed entirely in black robes, walking hurriedly, arrived outside the Imperial Stables.
Feeling as if someone was chasing him, he looked around and then stepped through the gate.
The man in black, who originally intended to hide here for a while and then leave, suddenly changed his expression as soon as he stepped inside!
What was just a moment ago a pitch-black courtyard has suddenly transformed, with everything changing and the stars shifting!
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a desert!
Looking around, all that could be seen was endless yellow sand, with not a trace of human habitation!
"This is…"
The man in black, his face filled with terror, swallowed hard, feeling a sense of fear.
Rumble!
Before he could even react, fireballs suddenly began to fall from the sky!
The moment these fireballs landed, they blasted deep craters.
The man in black was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, but without hesitation, he began to run wildly across the desert to escape!
But just as he managed to dodge the fireball, water balls started raining down from the sky!
The man in black, who was already exhausted, paused for a moment, then mustered all his strength and sprinted forward!
After running for an unknown distance, the man in black was exhausted and had no strength left.
"What kind of place is this...?"
The man in black, unable to contain his complaint, swallowed hard and looked around before saying:
"Isn't this the Imperial Stables?... How did I end up in the desert...?"
The words had barely left his mouth!
The desert ground suddenly shook again.
In the eyes of the man in black, a group of monstrous beasts suddenly appeared in the desert ahead!
These monstrous beasts bared their teeth and charged at him at the first sight of him.
"Monsters... How could there be monsters in the palace... This is terrifying..."
Upon seeing this, the man in black was so frightened that he ran forward at top speed...
On the walls of the Imperial Horse Stables.
Chen Fan, who was sitting there, had a calm expression, but his eyes were full of disappointment.
Under his gaze, an assassin dressed in black robes was running around in the courtyard.
Exhausted and covered in sweat, he was laughing and crying at the same time, acting like a madman!
Fortunately, Chen Fan had isolated the sound within the formation.
Otherwise, with this guy shouting and yelling, he might have attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards!
He stroked his chin with a hint of regret and said:
"Why is there an assassin here..."
