The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Yanzhou, Chenliu Commandery, the city of the commandery.

The river management command post was still brightly lit, and Yu Wenyuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, was working late into the night inside.

Huang Mao led one hundred imperial guards to guard the area.

The Imperial Guards were hidden in the shadows as sentries.

Dugu Yanyu and Murong Qingcheng stood outside the main hall of the river control command center, their hands clasped around their swords.

Are they waiting for Master Wuque?

Dugu Yanyu frowned and said with a solemn expression.

"They must be waiting for Master Wuque."

Murong Qingcheng said with a cold expression, "The Marquis has gone to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion. The only expert from our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters who can come to our aid is Master Wuque."

"My golden body reigns supreme throughout the nine heavens and ten earths!"

"The Four Holy Sites of Buddhism?"

A glint of sword light flashed in Dugu Yanyu's eyes as he coldly asked, "Have the four holy Buddhist sites reached a certain understanding with the Yellow Heaven Sect? Or have they already formed an alliance?"

Both he and Murong Qingcheng witnessed Master Wuque stepping into the realm of human immortals, and they also knew that the astonishing martial arts created by Master Wuque were named the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Only I Golden Body by Chu Xiu.

"It may not be an alliance."

"It's very likely just a tacit understanding."

"The four sacred Buddhist sites will not easily intervene."

"It's even more impossible for us to side with the Yellow Heaven Sect. Anyone can see that the Yellow Heaven Sect is like a grasshopper in autumn, it won't last long."

"The greater probability is that he will be a pioneer for the king."

"The Yellow Heaven Sect naturally understood the plans of the four holy Buddhist sites, so they devised a little scheme to plot against us, hoping to use the four holy Buddhist sites to get rid of Master Wuque."

"Furthermore, the Yellow Heaven Sect may not only want to do this, but also want to create more conflicts between our Embroidered Uniform Guard and the four holy lands of Buddhism, preferably to have the four holy lands of Buddhism eliminate us."

"And the four holy sites of Buddhism, wanting to obtain the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Golden Body created by Master Wuque, had no choice but to take action."

"In the end, Huang Tianjiao was able to easily eliminate Lord Yu, the official in charge of Yellow River flood control."

Dugu Yanyu said thoughtfully, "This is a plan that kills three birds with one stone!"

"Therefore, they most likely won't make a move tonight."

"I'll wait until tomorrow."

"They will make their move whenever Master Wuque arrives."

Murong Qingcheng said with a cold expression.

"Good, I should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."

"However, we still need to be on guard. You go and rest first, I'll stay here and keep watch."

Dugu Yanyu nodded and said to Murong Qingcheng.

"I'll come and relieve you in the middle of the night."

Murong Qingcheng left with those words and then vanished from the spot.

Dugu Yanyu shrugged and remained silent. He was already familiar with Murong Qingcheng's personality.

Furthermore, he knew that Murong Qingcheng had a great fondness for his lord.

late at night.

The next day, early in the morning.

An elderly monk, dressed in a gray robe and with a kind face, walked barefoot and openly toward the river management command post.

This old monk was none other than Master Wuque, the monk who killed living beings.

Master Wuque is no longer dressed in tattered black robes, ragged clothes, and carrying a broken bowl as he used to.

There's no need for that.

He used to practice asceticism like a hermit.

However, after joining the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they provided him with a large number of brand-new black robes, so he naturally no longer needed to beg for alms with a broken bowl.

"Meet the Master."

Upon seeing Master Wuque appear, Dugu Yanyu and Murong Qingcheng, who were waiting outside the river control command post, quickly bowed in greeting.

"No need to be polite."

Master Wuque waved his hand and said.

He could not possibly be unfamiliar with Dugu Yanyu and Murong Qingcheng.

After all, they were both members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Palace Attendant Pavilion.

Moreover, he was highly regarded by Chu Xiu.

"Master, please come in."

Dugu Yanyu extended his hand to invite Master Wuque.

Master Wuque nodded and, led by Dugu Yanyu and Murong Qingcheng, entered the river management command center.

Meanwhile, the informants who had been keeping a close eye on the river management command center immediately relayed the message.

Upon entering the main hall of the river management headquarters, Master Wuque saw Yu Wenyuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, rise to greet him, saying, "Yu Wenyuan, greetings to Master Wuque."

"You're too kind, Lord Yu."

Master Wuque clasped his hands together and returned the greeting.

“Master Wuque, Lord Dugu told Lord Murong that a large number of experts have gathered in Chenliu County.”

"They're all here because of Master Wuque."

"Wouldn't Master Wuque's arrival in Chenliu County be exactly what they planned?"

Yu Wenyuan said with a worried look on his face.

"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said..."

"Lord Yu, there's no need to worry. Not only have I come to Chenliu County, but the Marquis has also arrived."

Master Wuque said with a smile.

"The Marquis is here?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan, Dugu Yanyu, and Murong Qingcheng all brightened up, revealing expressions of great joy.

They all knew Chu Xiu's strength; Chu Xiu's arrival meant they were completely safe.

No matter what forces are hidden behind those martial arts figures, they will all be as vulnerable as clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of Chu Xiu!

This is determined by Chu Xiu's consistent battle record!

Never lost!

"Indeed, Lord Marquis has quelled the rebellion in Qingzhou."

"The Marquis returned to the capital last night."

"When the Marquis learned about the events in Chenliu County, he guessed the scheme of the Yellow Heaven Sect, so he came to Chenliu County in person."

"This old monk and the Marquis, one is in the light, and the other is in the dark."

"Sufficient to deal with these schemes."

Master Wuque said with a kind and benevolent expression.

"With the Marquis in charge, there is indeed nothing that cannot be accomplished."

"In just one day, the Marquis suppressed the rebellion of the Yellow Heaven Sect. Even the ancient sages could not have done so."

Yu Wenyuan said with a look of amazement.

Dugu Yanyu and Murong Qingcheng both showed expressions of deep agreement.

"coming."

"Lord Yu, please stay in the main hall to handle your affairs. There is no need for you to come out."

Master Wuque suddenly spoke.

The voice just fell.

Master Wuque then disappeared from the hall.

Dugu Yanyu and Murong Qingcheng exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

"it is good."

Yu Wenyuan took a deep breath, feeling nervous and uneasy. However, the thought of Chu Xiu's arrival in person, hidden in the shadows, calmed him down. He walked to a map hanging in the main hall, calmed down, and began to continue studying the problem of controlling the Yellow River floods.

One after another, figures appeared at the entrance of the river management command center.

There were dozens of figures.

Each figure was a martial arts practitioner who had at least reached the Celestial Realm level.

The leader's cultivation level had already reached the peak of the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm, and he was only one step away from the eighth level.

More importantly!

This person is a monk!

A young monk, dressed in a moon-white robe and carrying an ancient longsword, with a handsome face and an extraordinary appearance, looked like a refined gentleman from the secular world.

"Junior Brother Wuhua?"

Master Wuque looked at the young monk with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Besides him, Wanfo Temple also produced a disciple who betrayed the sect.

This person is the monk Wuhua.

However, Master Wuque was not familiar with Monk Wuhua, even though they were both disciples of the Wu generation at Wanfo Temple.

However, when Master Wuque betrayed his master, Monk Wuhua had just entered Wanfo Temple and was only eight years old.

Over the years, he had heard a lot about the monk Wuhua. Although his Buddhist name was Wuhua, he was actually quite dashing and charming, with many female companions. He also loved to listen to music in brothels.

Murder, arson, eating meat, and drinking alcohol were all commonplace for the monk Wuhua.
