Chapter 2892 The Cicada Sheds Its Shell!

Moreover, it was impossible for the court officials to stop the emperor from issuing so many imperial edicts all at once, so the four edicts that Wang Yue valued were easily promulgated.

Then the court became lively, with daily debates revolving around the Northern Expedition.

However, because the current emperor supports the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expeditionary Party has gained some advantages, but the Southern forces are not going to give up so easily, so the two sides are locked in a tug-of-war.

At this moment, Wang Yue quietly left the palace and headed towards Jinzhou.

However, Wang Yue's journey back was bound to be difficult. Because he wanted to ensure the smooth execution of several imperial edicts, he set off a little late and was stopped by a group of people halfway there.

The leader was a man with a full head of white hair, wearing a veiled hat. He was accompanied by a woman, and a group of martial arts figures stood far behind them.

Upon seeing this group of people, Wang Yue understood their identities. He smiled and asked, "Chief Li, did you deliberately stop me to express your gratitude?"

Li Chenzhou looked at Wang Yue with some curiosity and asked, "I'm really curious that you were able to come out of the palace alive!"

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "The emperor is nothing but a paper tiger. It's just that you have too many concerns, so he has no concerns at all."

Li Chenzhou deduced from Wang Yue's words that Wang Yue had achieved her goal through blackmail, and he asked curiously,

"His Majesty agreed to so many conditions in exchange for so many national policies from you, which shows that he values ​​you quite a bit. Why do you still want to leave the capital?"

Wang Yue understood that Li Chenzhou had misunderstood, but that was exactly what he wanted to achieve.
Otherwise, Wang Yue wouldn't need to think so much about national policies that benefit the country; he just needs to leave people with the impression that he is very talented.

Wang Yue didn't answer the question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Is the Carefree King here to thank me?"

Li Chenzhou stared at the face that was almost identical to the one dressed up, remained silent for a long while, and then spoke.
"I should thank you, but I'm also very curious about how you did it?"
The current emperor is very suspicious of me, how could he possibly give me both a queen bee and a position?
I don't believe that just because you come up with a few policies that benefit the country and its people, the Emperor will listen to you.

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "It seems you've been controlled by poison and are afraid of it. Once bitten by a snake, you're afraid of a rope for ten years!"

If you don't believe me, go back to the palace and see for yourself. Those in the know will explain it to you.

By the way, you've already become the Carefree King, do you still want to be the gang leader?
If you don't want to do it anymore, I wouldn't mind taking care of it for you for a few days.

Look at your men, what a mess they've become! They're all so disobedient.

Li Chenzhou raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "So you want to make a deal with me?"
But I didn't ask you for this help, so why should I agree?

Wang Yue shook his head and said indifferently, "Whether you agree or not, it doesn't prevent me from controlling those who have the power to help me when they try to cause me trouble."

Li Chenzhou smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're too confident. You've been in the palace for more than half a month, and something has happened in the martial arts world that you probably don't know about."

Seeing how mysteriously Li Chenzhou spoke, Wang Yue wondered to himself what had happened.

The only thing that could make Li Chenzhou so gloat was probably the Huanhua Sword Sect, so Wang Yue asked curiously.

"Could it be that you managed to break through the sword furnace? That's not very likely."

Li Chenzhou was quite annoyed by Wang Yue's words, and he said coldly, "I wonder if you've ever heard of the Book of Forgetfulness!"

Wang Yue really didn't know. He shook his head with a smile and said, "I really don't know. I'll have to trouble you, Chief, to explain it to me."

Even someone as composed as Li Chenzhou looked astonished when he heard Wang Yue say that.

In his original view, everyone in the world is driven by profit, and Wang Yue's proactive help to the Huanhua Sword Sect was probably for the Huanhua Sword Sect's Forget-Love Heavenly Book!

However, Li Chenzhou could tell from Wang Yue's expression that Wang Yue genuinely didn't know what the book was, which made him curious and ask.

"It is said that this is a peerless martial art, and once mastered, one will be invincible."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue couldn't help but smile. Meeting their questioning gazes, he said with an air of dominance,
"In this world, I am invincible. What martial art can surpass me?"

Even if I don't show my true face, someone as smart as Chief Li should be able to guess my identity.

I can easily train four ordinary young men into top-notch masters, so I certainly wouldn't take that Book of Oblivion seriously.

Your subordinate, Sword King, must be among the top three in your gang in terms of combat strength, but in my hands, he's nothing more than a toy.

Li Chenzhou had certainly heard about the battle that had taken place at the Huanhua Sword Sect. Now that he thought about it, Wang Yue probably wasn't exaggerating.

Although Li Chenzhou himself was very strong, it would still take him quite a bit of effort to defeat the Sword King.

However, the fact that Wang Yue could kick the Sword King around clearly indicates that it was not something that could be done with ordinary martial arts skills.

Wang Yue confidently declared himself invincible, and Li Chenzhou really couldn't refute him.

Zhao Shirong couldn't help but smile. This was the first time she had seen Li Chenzhou suffer a setback in all the time she had followed him.

Moreover, Zhao Shirong is different from Li Chenzhou. She knows that many of the things Wang Yue does benefit Li Chenzhou, so she also has a relatively good impression of Wang Yue. Seeing Wang Yue's confidence now, she can only helplessly offer a reminder.
"Grand Preceptor, there's something else I need to tell you. Xiao Kaiyan, the second son of the Xiao family, has mastered the Forgetfulness Manual and has drained the inner strength of the three Sword Kings you injured. He has now vanished without a trace!"

Wang Yue hadn't expected this. He shook his head with a smile and said, "This second son of the Xiao family was originally like a transparent person. No one paid any attention to him. I never expected that his move would be so earth-shattering."

Zhao Shirong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Xiao Erlang originally killed four of our Quanli Gang members, but that's nothing."

After all, the Sword King deserved to die for the mistakes he made, but for some unknown reason, he went and killed Fei Yuqiao of the Fei family, one of the three great sects, and even went so far as to wipe out the entire family. This was not the behavior of a righteous person.

Shaolin and Wudang are currently preparing to hold a gathering of heroes and are looking to recommend someone to investigate the massacre of the Fei family.

If the Imperial Advisor wants to prove Xiao Kaiyan's innocence, he needs to go there as soon as possible.

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'd better go to the Huanhua Sword Sect first. I think my parents-in-law will make the decision on this matter."

Seeing Wang Yue's words, Li Chenzhou said seriously,

"Since you have a way to control your subordinates, I can allow you to recruit those who commit wrongdoings into your ranks."

However, some of them have good reputations; they only betrayed Da Xi, so please don't make things difficult for them.

Wang Yue hadn't expected Li Chenzhou to abandon so many of his followers so easily.

But thinking about it, this is quite normal.

Li Chenzhou's way of managing gangs is entirely based on imperial tactics. This might be useful in the imperial court, but it's like casting pearls before swine to the swine among martial arts masters. It will only increase the greed of some people and make the gangs chaotic and corrupt.

Li Chenzhou probably thought of this long ago, but he wanted to restore the Central Plains, so he didn't care about good or bad, as long as it could be used by him.

But now that Li Chenzhou has become the Prince of Xiaoyao, he can take action from the imperial court and preside over the Northern Expedition, so he no longer needs so many martial arts forces.

Wang Yue felt that in Li Chenzhou's eyes, he was just like a high and mighty emperor, and he didn't take the power of the martial arts world seriously at all.

Now that Wang Yue can restrain those who have broken free from the control of the power faction, Li Chenzhou is preparing to cleanse the corrupt and build the force that a prince should have.

Wang Yue knew this perfectly well, but he didn't mind taking in these people who had been eliminated by Li Chengzhou.

After all, some cannon fodder needs to be done by these bad guys, otherwise it would be the good guys who suffer the loss.

Wang Yue calmly replied, "Since Chief Li is willing to send me some thugs, I am of course willing."

Li Chenzhou smiled and shook his head, saying, "Grand Preceptor, you are mistaken. You are the real Chief Li, while I am just the Carefree King."

I also need Chief Li's help to investigate who was behind Hundred Herbs Valley back then.

Wang Yue was somewhat amused and exasperated. It seemed that Li Chenzhou was planning to use a clever escape tactic, but thinking about it, it was quite normal.

After all, the Power Gang doesn't have a good image in the underworld, and this would tarnish the royal family's reputation.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou, having just become a prince, immediately became very protective of his reputation, which is truly baffling.

This shows that Li Chenzhou was extremely loyal to Da Xi.

However, this is quite normal. If she didn't have an infinite love for Dae-hee, she wouldn't have drunk those poisons.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue took out a medicine bottle and casually tossed it to Zhao Shirong.

Zhao Shirong asked with some confusion, "What is this, Grand Preceptor?"

Wang Yue calmly said, "I got the antidote for the Carefree King from Huang's shop. I originally intended to give it to you when we first met, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative now."

Over the years, Zhao Shirong had become quite knowledgeable about medicine, especially since the illness was on Li Chenzhou's side. She smelled the medicine and immediately judged that it was probably quite good, which made her very happy.

However, since this concerned her lover's health, even a chivalrous woman like Zhao Shirong was somewhat unsettled. She said to Li Chenzhou,

"Your Highness, this might really be true. Why don't you give it a try?"

Li Chenzhou sensed Zhao Shirong's nervousness, so he took the medicine and immediately put it in his mouth.

"Sink the ship!"

Zhao Shirong was shocked that Li Chenzhou didn't even bother to check her, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Li Chenzhou waved his hand and smiled reassuringly, "The Imperial Preceptor is highly skilled in martial arts and is trusted by His Majesty the Emperor. If he wanted to attack us, he wouldn't need to use poison at all."
