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

"Reporting to the Marquis, General Zhao Wuyang should already be on his way back to the capital, returning to court in triumph."

"only……"

"I am not sure whether General Zhao Wuyang will choose to return from Jizhou, Yanzhou, or Yuzhou."

Lin Huaiyu hesitated for a moment before speaking to Chu Xiu.

There are three routes you can take to return to the capital from Qingzhou.

One route was to return to the capital via Jizhou.

One option was to return to the capital via Yanzhou.

The last route was through Yuzhou back to the capital.

Currently, it seems that Zhao Wuyang will only encounter any danger if he leads the 300,000-strong capital garrison back to the capital from Yuzhou.

Because Yuzhou is the territory of the Zhao family of Yingchuan, as far as they know, the Yellow Heaven Cult should have started its uprising in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou, and not in Yuzhou.

Clearly, the Yellow Heaven Sect still harbored some apprehension towards the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Zhao family of Yingchuan reached some kind of agreement with the Yellow Heaven Sect.

"Very well, I understand!"

"I will go to the palace to meet the Emperor and report these matters to him."

"You only need to be in charge of intelligence matters for our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Furthermore, investigate General Zhao Wuyang's route back to the capital as thoroughly as possible."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then spoke to Lin Huaiyu.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Huaiyu said with a solemn expression.

Chu Xiu rose abruptly, took a step, and disappeared into the main hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

"Your subordinate respectfully sees off the Marquis."

Seeing Chu Xiu leave, Lin Huaiyu bowed and greeted him.

After saying that, Lin Huaiyu quickly walked out of the main hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

In a moment.

Qin Tianjian.

Swish!

Chu Xiu seemed to appear out of thin air outside the Imperial Observatory.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

Upon seeing Chu Xiu appear, the Imperial Guard captains guarding outside the Imperial Observatory hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite."

"Please inform him that I wish to see the Imperial Advisor."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said calmly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will report this to you immediately."

The Imperial Guard captain spoke with utmost respect.

however!

at this time!

Swish!

"I was unaware of Your Excellency's arrival. I apologize for the lateness in welcoming you."

Yan Qingfeng, the Junior Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, appeared at the main entrance, smiling as he bowed to Chu Xiu.

"You're too kind, Lord Yan."

Chu Xiu returned the greeting, smiled slightly, and said.

When the Imperial Guard captain saw Yan Qingfeng come out to greet Chu Xiu, he quietly stepped aside.

"My lord, please come in."

"My master is already inside waiting for Your Excellency's arrival."

Yan Qingfeng extended his hand to Chu Xiu in invitation.

Chu Xiu was not surprised that Qi Tianchen knew of his arrival. After all, Qi Tianchen was a peak ninth-level Earth Immortal, the number one person in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although there are quite a few Earth Immortals in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, only Qi Tianchen was capable of killing a Celestial Immortal in the Earth Immortal Realm and had comprehended the Dao of the Heavenly Sword!

Not long after.

Yan Qingfeng then led Chu Xiu to the ninth floor of the main building of the Imperial Observatory.

Chu Xiu immediately spotted Qi Tianchen sitting at the stone table and bowed to him with his hands clasped, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Preceptor."

"My lord, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."

Qi Tianchen extended his hand to Chu Xiu in invitation.

Chu Xiu nodded, walked to a stone bench opposite Qi Tianchen, sat down, and said, "Thank you, Grand Preceptor."

Yan Qingfeng then walked up and stood behind Qi Tianchen.

"I wonder what brings you here, Lord Marquis?"

Qi Tianchen pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Xiu and asked.

"I have come here today because there is something I wish to tell you."

"This matter concerns the life and death of our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Chu Xiu said with a serious expression.

"The Yellow Heaven Sect?"

Qi Tianchen raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Xiu, asking a question.

Clearly, even Qi Tianchen, who was in the Imperial Observatory, had already heard about the Huangtian Sect's rebellion.

"It is the Yellow Heaven Sect."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and explained in great detail the identities of the three holy sons of the Yellow Heaven Sect, as well as the possibility that they might simultaneously launch a rebellion in Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Yanzhou.

of course.

He did not forget his true purpose in coming to the Imperial Observatory.

He also informed Qi Tianchen that Zhao Wuyang had returned to the capital from Qingzhou and was on his way back to the capital.

After listening, Qi Tianchen remained expressionless.

However, Yan Qingfeng's expression was extremely solemn.

"I understand what you mean, Lord Marquis."

"The Marquis hopes that I will go to meet General Zhao and ensure that he and the capital garrison can return to the capital safely."

Qi Tianchen said calmly.

"Please, Grand Preceptor, for the sake of the millions of people of our Great Zhou Dynasty, be able to provide support for General Zhao and the capital garrison."

"Even if we cannot save the 300,000-strong Beijing garrison, we must save General Zhao Wuyang and General Xie Xuan."

"As long as the two of them are alive, even without the 300,000-strong capital garrison, our Great Zhou Dynasty can rebuild the capital garrison."

Chu Xiu considered it for a moment, then spoke with a sincere expression.

After all, the Beijing Garrison still has 200,000 troops in the capital. As long as the two of them return alive, they can use these 200,000 troops as a foundation to recruit new soldiers and restore the Beijing Garrison's fighting strength in the shortest possible time.

The White Tiger Battle Formation, formed by 500,000 troops of the Beijing Garrison, is definitely capable of reaching the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

It's not just as simple as the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm!

For the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was an extremely important force!

"As the Grand Preceptor of our Great Zhou Dynasty, now that I know about this matter, I naturally have no reason not to take action."

"My lord, there is no need to worry about General Zhao and General Xie."

"Even the 300,000-strong capital garrison, I can bring them all back!"

"The insignificant Yellow Heaven Sect is nothing to me!"

Qi Tianchen said calmly, "Even if Xiao Zhenting, the leader of the Yellow Heaven Sect, dares to make a move, I will kill him with a single sword strike!"

"..."

Hearing Qi Tianchen's words, Chu Xiu was stunned.

Is the Imperial Advisor really that powerful?

Xiao Zhenting may have already reached the Celestial Immortal realm or higher!

In the eyes of the Grand Preceptor, they were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs?

Aren't there huge differences in your levels of understanding?

"My lord, guess why the four Dharma Kings of the Yellow Heaven Sect have been in seclusion all this time, and why Xiao Zhenting, despite his profound cultivation, has never shown any intention of personally taking action?"

Qi Tianchen smiled, as if he could see the doubt in Chu Xiu's heart.

"What does the Imperial Advisor mean?"

Chu Xiu asked tentatively.

He already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

I'm just not sure if that's true.

"Just as the Marquis guessed."

"It's not that I can't reach the Celestial Immortal Realm; I can reach it at any time."

"The Celestial Immortal Realm is like paper to me; I can break through it whenever I want."

"Breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm is not of much use to me."

"On the contrary, it is a constraint for me."

"I'd rather not break through and just continue accumulating experience."

"When I break through, I will no longer be someone who has just stepped into the Celestial Immortal Realm."

"At that time, even if those people can make a move at will, I can still easily suppress them with a flick of my wrist!"

"Just like how I am now the number one expert in our Great Zhou Dynasty, I can easily suppress them!"

Qi Tianchen said calmly yet confidently, "From beginning to end, I have never taken these people seriously!"

They don't deserve it!
