Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 106: The plan lasted only ten years, and the end came

Zhou Cheng, along with the gray-robed Taoist priest and Chen Ji, walked towards the imperial palace.

The three of them walked leisurely.

Zhou Cheng looked at the army galloping through the downtown streets, heading towards the palace and the east of the city, and the smile on his face became more and more frequent.

"drive--"

"drive--"

The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground was like a thunderstorm, bringing with it a gust of wind.

Some people were unable to dodge and were knocked to the ground.

People shout and horses neigh!

A child accidentally walked into the street.

The woman behind him had already rushed over and hugged the child tightly.

"Uu——"

The knight pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse's neigh startled the crowd. The horse jumped up on its front legs as if it were standing.

Just step down hard!

The old Taoist in gray walked over at some point, bent down to protect the two of them, and his horse's hooves stepped heavily on his back.

It was like stepping on a rag bag, and there was a sound of the handkerchief being torn.

"Asshole! You're blind!"

The knight shouted angrily on his horse, furious at this sudden turn of events.

No guilt at all.

He knew the mission was urgent, so he had to pull the reins hard and spur the horse into a gallop, leaving behind a trail of angry echoes and a cloud of dust in the distance.

The woman was still in shock. She held her child with tears in her eyes and thanked the old Taoist in gray repeatedly.

The old Taoist still waved his hands with a smile.

Chen Ji watched curiously from the side.

He secretly guessed in his heart that the horse's hooves were exerting hundreds of pounds of force, but the old Taoist seemed to be unharmed.

Could it be that this thin old Taoist priest is really a hidden martial arts master?
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng rolled up his sleeves, gave a thumbs up, and praised sincerely:
"Master Mo, you are so capable!"

The old Taoist in gray smiled lightly, picked up the wine flask at his waist, took a sip, and felt elated.

Both sides of the street!

The vendors were unable to dodge in time due to the chaos just now. Only when they saw the cavalry and the army going away did they dare to stick their heads out, cursing and expressing their dissatisfaction.

"Tsk! Your eyes are in your assholes."

"You damned bastard, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Complaints were heard all around, and it was obvious that the other cavalry's reckless charge had angered everyone.

But the people have become accustomed to it.

The Imperial Guards represent the emperor's power and ordinary people cannot afford to offend them.

Chen Ji noticed that the soldiers' movements today were unusual. Not only were they very anxious, they were also openly rampaging in the streets.

What puzzled him even more was!
These soldiers seemed to be marching towards the imperial palace, and at the palace's Meridian Gate, no one seemed to be allowed to pass.

Such a scene!
"It seems that it's not because of the master, but... Kyoto is in chaos!"

The three continued to move forward, and when they passed the corner of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace, they unexpectedly met two people.

Chen Ji's eyes suddenly focused and he muttered to himself.

Another acquaintance!

How could today's event be such a coincidence!

There were two people standing at the street corner.

A middle-aged scholar, with an upright figure, wearing a light ink-black robe, a green jade forehead protector on his forehead, and a handsome appearance.

A pair of eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.

He held his hands leisurely in his sleeves, looking extraordinarily handsome and charming, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Next to the scholar stood a thin old man dressed in simple casual clothes. Although there were a few bloodstains on his face, it could not hide his calm and tenacious eyes.

Chen Ji recognized the two of them at a glance.

The middle-aged scholar was the owner of Penglai Pavilion in Kyoto. Many restaurants, gambling houses, and canal transport in Kyoto were under his name. He was a truly wealthy and powerful person, and he had met him before when he followed his master.

The capable old man was none other than Wei Gao.

Lu Chen's uncle and Wei Yue's father.

However, it is said that Wei Gao should be imprisoned in the Dali Temple at this moment, so why did he appear here and seem to be waiting for their arrival?

Chen Ji was puzzled!
The three of them approached.

Wei Gao was the first to bow, his tone full of emotion: "Your Majesty, it's been a long time."

Chen Ji was stunned after hearing this!
Isn’t it rumored that this Wei Gao had bitten off his tongue and could no longer speak when he entered the Dali Temple?
Big weird!
Zhou Cheng returned the salute solemnly.

"Yi Bo is old too!"

Wei Gao's courtesy name was Yi Bo.

Zhou Cheng saw Wei Gao's graying hair and said with some nostalgia:
"I never thought that when I fled Kyoto from the Imperial Clan Court, it was Yi Bo who saw me off at the city gate. Today, I have been away from Kyoto for several years and it is Yi Bo who welcomes me again."

After hearing this, Chen Ji was surprised to learn that it was Wei Gao who helped his master escape from the clan house.

Chen Ji looked at Wei Gao with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Zhou Cheng looked at the middle-aged scholar again and said:
"We should thank Mr. Liu back then, otherwise Zhou Cheng would have to stay in the pigpen for the rest of his life."

A middle-aged Confucian scholar named Liu Wen.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen just smiled faintly, and his eyes seemed to narrow even further into a line.

"Master, your words are too kind. Don't thank a servant like me. Just remember the kindness of the young protector."

Zhou Cheng heard this and said sincerely:

"Zhou Cheng will remember Shao Bao's kindness in his heart and be grateful to him."

Liu Wen turned his gaze to the street entrance, where the Yulin Army, which had already been ready for battle, was waiting in full battle array. He gently reminded:
"Don't delay, Master Eight. Go to the palace. The emperor is waiting for you."

Zhou Cheng smiled casually, but that smile concealed endless resentment.

His eyes passed through the streets, as if penetrating the barriers of time and space, looking towards the palace where he grew up, and said in a cold tone:

"Back then, my second brother was really kind to me. Not only did he make me eat rotten water three times a day, live naked in a pigsty, but he also married me to a royal concubine and gave me the title of Pig King."

"I deserve the favor as heavy as a mountain!"

After hearing this, Chen Ji could no longer stop crying. Thinking back to the two years he spent in the clan house, he felt heartbroken at the humiliation and torture his master had endured.

The so-called imperial concubine was actually just a big sow. What an insult and trampling on Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng's tone was already cold as ice. He continued:
"This time my brother came to the capital, I will repay him a hundredfold."

Zhou Cheng and the other two walked towards the 3,000 Yulin soldiers who were ready to go, and they mounted their horses.

With a solemn atmosphere, they entered the Meridian Gate one after another.

Murderous!
Wei Gao looked at the teams of soldiers in bright armor, and a sense of curiosity surged in his heart. He turned to look at Liu Wen and asked, "Mr. Liu, how could you train such a group of death warriors under Zhou Zhen's nose?"

Liu Wen smiled faintly: "It's not difficult. Master Wei looks down on me, Liu Wen, too much."

Wei Gao nodded in agreement.

Of course he knew Liu Wen's abilities!

He is a logistics officer in charge of finance and food for the Lu family army in the north.

This person was solely responsible for all the food and supplies for the Lu family army, and there had never been any mistakes.

Moreover, this person will do anything to achieve his goal, which is against the harmony of nature.

Known as the poisonous scholar!

Sometimes Lu Chen could only helplessly say: "Things haven't reached the point where we need to ask Liu Wen to come out."

Wei Gao laughed and said:
"With you, Liu Wen, here, I wouldn't be surprised if someone said one day that the current princess is your daughter."

Liu Wen was stunned, then said leisurely:
"It's actually very simple. I'm a wealthy businessman in Kyoto with a clean background. I'm willing to help him train the imperial guards with money and effort. It's not a simple matter to place some people in there."

Wei Gao nodded and said it was simple, but the details required were extremely complex.

Wei Gao seemed to have thought of another question.

"Why did you arrange this this time?"

Liu Wen smiled and said:
"What we are planning is only ten years. Ten years is all we need."

"Coming out from the north, sweeping across the world!"
