Kick the scumbag, she brought space and married the national teacher to rebel

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers echoed.

Seeing that the emperor had said so, the Duke of Zhenguo did not dare to pursue the matter further no matter how aggrieved he felt.

He had been at odds with the Duke of Weiguo before, and now he hated Chu Feiyan and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion even more.

Prime Minister Du added, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo is already over 70 years old, and his mind is indeed not as good as before. It is time for him to stay at home and enjoy his retirement."

The implication is that this person is old and it is time for him to retire.

The emperor looked at the Duke of Zhenguo, thought for a moment and nodded, "Lord Du, what you said makes sense. The Duke of Zhenguo has served the court for decades and has made great contributions. At this age, it is time for him to enjoy his old age."

"Your Majesty..." The Duke of Zhenguo prostrated himself on the ground. The emperor asked him to enjoy his remaining years in peace, which meant that he had to hand over his military power.

But as long as the emperor didn't speak, he would not hand over the military command.

Eunuch Bi had been with the emperor for many years and understood his mind best. He walked down the steps, walked in front of the Duke of Zhenguo and said, "Duke of Zhenguo, please hand over the military token to our family!"

Eunuch Bi is the emperor's most trusted person, and his words are equivalent to the emperor's words. Even if the Duke of Zhenguo is unwilling, he has to hand over the military command.

He was very angry. He had wanted to impeach Chu Feiyan and remove her from the position of General Auxiliary to the Country, but now he had lost his own military power instead.

Officials from several parties looked at him with gloating eyes, finally bringing this old man down! Without military power, the Zhenguogong Mansion was just a paper tiger.

This time, the Duke of Zhenguo ended up losing more than he gained.

The emperor felt much more relieved when he saw the military token in his hand.

He had long wanted to take back the military power of the Duke of Zhenguo, but he had never had a proper reason! Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyan had just taken office for a few days, and with just a few words, the Duke of Zhenguo obediently handed over the military power, and he didn't have to offend anyone.

The two broken fingers of Long Shiyu were worth it!

"Princess, in the past few days, many people from all over the world have rushed to Jinxiu City." Dongmei walked in with several account books.

"The revenue from our several shops is also quite impressive, especially the inns, teahouses, and restaurants, which are several times higher than before!"

"It seems that the Blood Demon Sect's auction has a great influence!" Chu Feiyan said lightly.

I don't know what treasures Lisha is auctioning this time? It actually attracted all the people in the martial arts world to come to Jinxiu City.

Xia An also came in at this time, holding a few clothes of Chu Feiyan in her hands. After hearing their conversation, she also said, "Princess, our people have received news that people from Qingjian Villa have also arrived and are staying in the Zhenguo Mansion."

"Don't pay any attention to them. Ask the prefect of Jingzhao to increase patrols in the city and arrest anyone who dares to cause trouble," Chu Feiyan ordered.

"Don't worry, Princess. Everything in the city is under our control." Xia An said.

Chu Feiyan looked at the sky outside, stepped out and said, "Xia An, let's go! Let's go meet the leader of the Blood Demon Sect."

When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and went back into the house.

Xia An thought she had forgotten something, so she went outside to wait.

Chu Feiyan walked back to the inner room and grabbed the crow on the cabinet.

"Woman, what are you doing? You've messed up my feathers!" the crow said angrily.

"What are you doing here all day? Come out for a walk with me." She stuffed the crow into her sleeve, not afraid of it suffocating.

After leaving the room, Xia An looked behind her and asked, "Princess, who were you talking to just now?"

"It's not a human, let's go!" Chu Feiyan flew onto the roof.

The two left the princess's mansion and headed towards the north city.

It was just a quarter past the hour of Xu, and Jinxiu City was under curfew as usual. The bustling city all day fell into silence.

However, this is only on the surface.

When night falls, the nightlife of the rich begins.

In Jinxiu City, there is a special street in the north city. It is a street of entertainment and also a den for wealthy people to spend money. The emperor granted permission for it to operate all night and collected high taxes from it.

This street is called Huajie, and the businesses usually include brothels, Nanfengguan, gambling houses, etc.

Although Huajie was allowed by the emperor to operate at night, there were time restrictions on entry and exit. The entrances and exits were guarded by soldiers and were closed before the curfew at 10:00 p.m., and entry and exit were prohibited until the ban was lifted at 3:00 p.m.

In other words, once people enter this red-light district, if they do not come out after curfew, they have to wait until the hour of Yin to come out.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people.

Chu Feiyan and Xia An covered their faces with veils and walked into an ordinary-looking inn.

Xia An took out two tickets that he had bought with six hundred taels of silver and gave them to the two burly men standing at the door.

A big man took the ticket and checked it. After confirming its authenticity, he nodded his head inside and signaled that they could go in.

After entering the inn, a man who looked like a waiter led them through a back door, where they discovered another world inside.

Behind this is a large courtyard, the decoration inside is very luxurious yet elegant. It can be seen at first glance that the owner here is either rich or noble.

The waiter led them through a long corridor and into a three-story house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that it was a very large hall with a high platform in the middle. It was crowded with people and the noise was deafening. Everyone was dressed in luxurious and bright clothes.

The auction starts at 3:15 pm, and there is still more than a quarter of an hour before leaving.

Chu Feiyan observed the situation inside. There were too many people coming and most of them had no seats.

"Princess, the first floor is the auction hall, and the second floor is the private rooms. Each private room costs one thousand two taels of silver, and it must be booked in advance. There are no vacant rooms now." Xia An said in her ear.

At this time, Chu Feiyan saw a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walking down the stairs from the second floor.

She thought for a moment, then walked towards the man and asked, "Sir, I would like to meet your sect leader. Please introduce me to him."

Her words immediately attracted the attention of people around her.

"Who is she? Is the Sect Master someone she can meet whenever she wants?"

"Hey! Another girl who admires the Sect Master. Judging from her matter-of-fact tone, does she think this is her home?"

"I heard that Princess Mingde spent 50,000 taels of gold to make an appointment with the Sect Master, but the Sect Master ignored her. Who does she think she is?"

Voices of contempt, ridicule, and mockery were heard one after another.

Xia An was so angry that he drew his sword and said, "You are looking for death."

"Xia An!" Chu Feiyan shook her head at her.

"Miss, I'm very sorry, our master is not here tonight. If you want to see him, you have to wait another day." The steward smiled and looked gentle and polite.

"In that case, let's do it another day!" Chu Feiyan smiled back at him, turned around and walked back.

When she heard these people mention Long Shiyu just now, it was just as she expected. These princes and princesses all came to see Li Sha.

"Miss, please wait a moment." Suddenly, she heard someone calling her from behind.

Chu Feiyan turned around and saw that people were making way for them. It was the manager who was walking towards them.

"Miss, our sect leader invites you."

Hearing this, the crowd around was in an uproar.

Curious, envious and jealous eyes all fell on her again.

Who is she? How could the Sect Master make an exception and summon her?

Chu Feiyan curled her lips slightly, "Didn't you just say that the Sect Master wasn't here? Why is he here after such a short while?"

"Yes... yes!" The steward smiled awkwardly and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Ladies, please go upstairs."
