Chapter 346 Xiao Wu Ascends the Throne! The Way of Emperor Jianwen!
Xiao Wu's expression changed upon hearing this.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty... what do you mean by that? You've bowed down to the Qingyun Sect again, what's the difference between that and submitting to the Changchun Sect?"
Emperor Jianwen smiled slightly.
With a calm expression, he sighed, then stood up and said:
"Xiao Wu, when I was on the throne, did I ever compromise with the immortal sects?"
"Brother..." A glint of light appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.
"Xiao Wu, I'm entrusting the Great Abyss to you!" Emperor Jianwen turned around and said gently:
"Go prepare for the coronation ceremony. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up. We'll all be safe and sound!"
……
On the way back to Dae Yeon.
Chen Fan, riding on Black Wind's back, looked worried.
Holding an orange-yellow gourd in his hand, he appeared to be getting drunk.
He kept making noises, which annoyed Hei Feng.
Even so, it still dared not neigh.
"This horse is nice... I'll take it!"
Just then, a man dressed in blue robes and holding a long sword suddenly appeared from both sides of the road.
If you look closely, you can see the sect totem of the Qingyun Sect on its chest.
Chen Fan, who had stopped, frowned and said:
"Are you from the Qingyun Sect?"
"Since you know them," the Qingyun Sect disciple said proudly.
"Then I don't need to say anything more, right? Hand over the horse, and I'll spare your life."
Chen Fan fell silent!
On the way, he was still wondering whether to fall out with the Qingyun Sect, but unexpectedly, the people from the Qingyun Sect came to his door!
Could this be the will of Heaven?
Chen Fan shook his head slightly and said helplessly:
"What if we don't want to?"
"Our family? You're a dead eunuch?" a Qingyun Sect disciple exclaimed in surprise.
"Can a dead eunuch cultivate immortality?"
"I really admire you!" said the black wind beneath Chen Fan.
"He's a real man!"
boom!
Before the words were even finished, the Qingyun Sect disciples were immediately knocked to the ground by an astonishing pressure.
His internal organs were churning with turmoil, and his eyes were filled with disbelief:
"You are... a Core Formation cultivator! Senior! I was blind to your greatness, please spare my life!"
"We hate being called a dead eunuch the most," Chen Fan said, squinting.
"Tell me, what are you doing down the mountain?"
"Senior, it was my fault for being so blunt..." said the Qingyun Sect disciple.
"I was ordered to come down the mountain to arrest the laborers..."
After listening to what the Qingyun Sect disciples had to say.
Chen Fan shook his head inwardly.
Thinking about it, the Qingyun Sect and the Changchun Sect are all cut from the same cloth, or perhaps all eight great immortal sects are cut from the same cloth.
After seizing several mountain peaks, these people began to abduct ordinary people to work as laborers!
Chen Fan, who had seen the mining area from Caixia Mountain, exclaimed:
"We considered avoiding this, since it didn't really concern us, but... now it seems... your Qingyun Sect deserved it! Little Black, let's go back to the capital..."
"I am the Black Wind King!" Black Wind shouted in dissatisfaction, then took off galloping away!
The Qingyun Sect disciples kneeling on the ground, witnessing this scene, were filled with relief at surviving a calamity.
However, just as he was about to get up and leave, a flying sword suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before he could react, he froze, and instantly his head fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere...
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
News has spread from Da Yuan.
Following the death of Emperor Yongle, Prince Pingwu, Xiao Wu, was confirmed as the new crown prince, but the reign title has not yet been determined!
The whole nation is celebrating!
However, some people in the Imperial Stables were not happy.
"Eunuch Deng, do you really not know when the master will return?"
On the horse stable, Jidaozi looked at the small stool and said:
"Don't lie to me! Those people from the Qingyun Sect are coming to kill us!"
"We really don't know when our godfather will be back," Little Stool said with a wry smile.
"Why don't you come back and ask again tomorrow?"
"Alright..." Jidouzi nodded and could only get up and leave.
Not long after the person left, another familiar figure came from the Imperial Stables.
"Little Stool, hasn't Xiao Chenzi come back yet!" The person who came was Chun Tao, who said with a worried expression:
"It's been several days already, and things are so chaotic outside. Is there any chance he'll be able to come back?"
"Um... this..." The little stool, whose name I didn't know, nodded.
"It'll be soon... Eunuch Chen said he'll be back soon, so you don't need to worry."
"Okay..." Chun Tao said with a smile:
"The palace has been quite busy these past few days, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow."
He watched his godmother turn and leave.
The little stool shook its head slightly.
Thinking to myself, my godfather comes and goes without a trace, how would I know when he'll be back!
However, Xiao Dengzi knows that things have been in chaos in the palace lately!
Judging from the current situation, it seems to be quite serious.
He, who only wanted to feed the horses in peace, suddenly understood what his godfather had said before!
While Xiao Dengzi was sighing with emotion.
Footsteps sounded outside the door again, and then Emperor Jianwen walked in with a beaming smile.
He glanced at the small stool and said respectfully:
"Senior brother, is there any news of Master?"
"No... Your Majesty..." Xiao Dengzi replied with a fist and palm salute.
"Senior brother," Emperor Jianwen nodded and said:
"You've spent the longest time by your master's side. Now that the Great Abyss is in trouble, what do you think I should do?"
"This..." the little stool said, feigning thought.
"My godfather always says this isn't our responsibility, so he just doesn't get involved!"
Emperor Jianwen nodded in disappointment.
Feeling a tightness in his chest, he sat down on a chair nearby.
"Senior brother, do you think cultivating immortality is for yourself or for others?"
Upon hearing the inquiry.
The little stool then pondered for a moment and said:
"This is a difficult question... but I remember my godfather saying... eunuchs have their way, and others have theirs... cultivating immortality is about cultivating one's own way..."
"Your Majesty, what path do you cultivate to achieve immortality? And for whom is it all?"
Emperor Jianwen was taken aback, then he understood!
He often came to the Imperial Stables to talk with his senior brother, and he would always pour out his troubles.
This senior brother was always willing to answer his questions, from which he benefited greatly!
After the Dao was mentioned today, Emperor Jianwen gained even greater enlightenment!
He slowly stood up and looked at the small stool, saying:
"Senior brother, please accept Jianwen's bow!"
"Your Majesty is very polite!" Little Stool responded, flattered and overwhelmed.
"Senior brother, I cultivate the path of the emperor, seeking only the prosperity of the Great Abyss, the peace and happiness of its people, equality for all, and freedom from the humiliation of immortals. This is my path!" Emperor Jianwen said with understanding.
"If anyone tries to destroy my Great Abyss and slaughter its people, they are tantamount to undermining my Great Dao. Thank you, Senior Brother!"
The words fell.
Emperor Jianwen strode away from the Imperial Horse Stables.
Watching that departing figure, the little stool shook its head slightly.
He thought to himself, "Even the emperor has found his own path, so what is his path?"
If I can't figure out the little stool, I'll just stop thinking about it!
After all, this is a very difficult question. Let's wait for my godfather to come back and ask him again!
"Master..."
Just then, someone else arrived at the gate of the Imperial Stables!
The little stool was taken aback, then helplessly clasped its hands in a fist and said:
"This humble stool greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty..."
"Senior brother, don't do this," Xiao Wu, who had rushed in, quickly helped him up.
"Junior brother, I can't accept this... Where is Master? Has he returned yet...?"
