The role of "Chu Ming" ended and the life of "Master Chu" began.
Regarding Chu Ming who returned from an outing, Yu Niang behaved no differently than all the wives, and even the surprise and expectation were "deep".
This made Chu Mingdu, a "veteran actor", couldn't help but secretly praise, "They are all good actors!"
"My husband has been working hard all the way, so Yuniang has prepared hot water for you. Take a bath quickly to relieve your fatigue."
"Thank you, Miss Yu. I'm really tired from the constant rush."
When Chu Ming finished bathing, Yu Niang had prepared meals and was waiting for him.
"How was your harvest from this trip, sir?"
Yu Niang, who never asked about this, rarely paid attention to Chu Ming's business situation.
"Understanding that wealthy families and ordinary people live in completely different worlds is the biggest gain from my trip."
Chu Ming seemed to be a little uninterested.
"Don't worry, Lady Yu, the business is going very smoothly. This is what a rotten scholar like me is complaining about."
Seeing that Yu Niang was a little worried, he hurriedly explained and took out the gift for Yu Niang from the capital to comfort her.
"Yu Niang just wants to be open to each other."
“I’m very happy to have earned some silver and be able to help more people in Hedong.”
Since it was not the fifteenth day yet and the county government had not opened yet, Chu Ming came to the restaurant early in the morning to visit Uncle Fu.
The people he met along the way greeted him eagerly.
Although the weather was cold, the queue in front of the porridge shed was orderly, no one organized, and there was no crowding or queue jumping.
Because they know that even if they are at the end of the queue, they will still receive a bowl of hot porridge and two steamed buns from the porridge shed.
"Uncle Fu, this is the capital's profit this time. This winter is particularly cold. If necessary, we will postpone the porridge shed for a week."
Uncle Fu took the package handed over by Chu Ming and asked with concern, "Young master just got home last night, why don't you rest for two more days? Young people need to pay attention to their health."
"I just came to take a look and brought some silver and a gift for you."
"This is 800-year-old ginseng. It is a good thing that can only be found in the capital. I bought it to replenish your body."
"How much money does this cost? Thank you so much, sir!"
Uncle Fu also knew Chu Ming's temper, so he took the red brocade box without giving in.
"Is there any news from Shopkeeper Li?"
"No, it makes people worry."
In fact, Chu Ming just wanted to ask around because there was no news from the Beggar Clan.
When I came to the backyard, I looked at the snowy scenery of the distant peaks, and the surroundings were peaceful.
Although the trip to the capital was short, he was always on the edge of crisis and was highly nervous.
Rejecting the threat from the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, ambushing the elders of the Guhua Sect, and seizing Emperor Wu's mausoleum to obtain the inheritance, every one of them is thrilling.
The leisure now can calm his mind, make the original killing no longer aggressive, and help him think rationally after settling down.
He now enjoys the identity exchange between "Chu Ming" and "Chu Master" more and more.
Five days after the elders and disciples stationed at Emperor Wu's mausoleum disappeared, Kunwu Sect and Kuangdao Sect received the news and hurried to the scene.
Standard hindsight.
But looking at the changing geographical environment, they were all surprised and speechless.
In this remote place like the Song Kingdom, Emperor Wu had long since disappeared, let alone a higher-level Emperor.
None of them could believe that what they saw in front of them was humanly possible.
"What happened?"
"It is said that there was an earthquake three days ago, which also triggered a small-scale beast tide. The Mausoleum of Emperor Wu became what it is now."
Facing the sect leader's inquiry, the elder who arrived earlier quickly explained.
"A tide of beasts? Zhang Xin's talent for controlling beasts is the strongest among us. Are you telling me that if he was swallowed up by a tide of beasts, how can our Kunwu Sect stand still if word spreads about it?"
"Master Shi, don't be angry. We still need to investigate why Emperor Wu's mausoleum suddenly disappeared. I believe this is the real reason for the disappearance of our elders and disciples."
The words of the leader of the Crazy Blade Sect made Shi Shaojun calm down.
"I don't know what the master of Samanasa has to say?"
"Is it possible that someone broke into Emperor Wu's mausoleum and caused this shocking change?"
"We have all tried to break through that tomb door before. Unless we are strong men like Emperor Wu and above, it is impossible to break through violently."
"What if there is a key?"
Shi Shaojun broke out in a cold sweat at the words of the monk's master. Because of Zhang Xin's disappearance, he was a little uneasy and lost his former sanity.
"That's unlikely."
The great elder of Kunwu Sect next to him interrupted at this time.
"Oh, what do the great elders think?"
"If someone really enters the mausoleum, it is impossible to hide it from the spies set up by both of us, and it is impossible for Zhang Xin not to report it to the sect."
"Then what if the other party is so powerful that they kill all our elders and disciples without giving them a chance to warn them."
Sect Master Kunwu is now on the same front as the Master of the Crazy Blade Sect, and in turn questions the analysis of his elders.
"Zhang Xin has always been cautious and will definitely subdue the beasts as a warning. No matter how strong the opponent is, they will not be given advance warning."
The Great Elder's analysis made Sect Leader Kunwu silent again.
"What happens if the opponent is not alone, or if there is a beast master in the opponent's team?"
The leader of the Crazy Blade Sect continued to raise his questions.
"Then it is entirely possible to discover Elder Zhang's arrangement, but as long as they attack the herd, they will still expose themselves."
Things seemed to be in an endless loop now. Not only had Emperor Wu's mausoleum disappeared, but even his own elders and disciples seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"Do you think this matter is related to the Palace of Hell?"
"Probably not. If it happened three days ago, their main characters should have just participated in the auction, and I don't think the Palace of Hell has such strength."
The analysis of the great elder was still recognized by the people present. Although the Palace of Hell destroyed the Sword Sect, it was just a battle between the Martial Kings. All aspects of intelligence showed that there was no one stronger than the Martial Kings in the Palace of Hell.
And it was obvious that even Emperor Wu couldn't do all this.
"Are there other powerful forces?"
"It's unlikely. Everyone knows what kind of place Song is. How could it attract big forces?"
After analyzing for a long time, they still had no clue. Faced with the confusing situation, the two sects became helpless.
"Is there no news from the Xihai Chamber of Commerce about Gu Huazong?"
"No, it stands to reason that there should be specific news coming from Guhua Sect now."
The masters of the Kuangdao Sect and Kunwu Sect came to the side to quietly analyze the matter of jointly dealing with the Palace of Hell.
"Master Samana, do you feel that many things have not developed as expected recently?"
"Yes, Sha even feels that nothing has gone smoothly recently!"
"Although we can't find the reason, there should be a big hand behind the scenes controlling all this."
Both of them felt the same way, and it made their skin stand on end.
"Will it be the Palace of Hell?"
"Through feedback from a series of things, it should not be them, because the strength of the Palace of Hell is not yet up to this point, and the time is not right either."
"I also agree with Sect Master Shi's analysis, so we should stay quiet now and should not move. We should observe the development of the situation more before making any decisions."
"Master Sha Sect is referring to the joint attack on the Palace of Hell."
"Now I can't tell where the real enemy is. It's really not appropriate to take too big a move. What do you think, Sect Leader Shi?"
"I agree with your analysis. As long as our two sects advance and retreat together, it will be enough to protect ourselves. Let other matters be put aside for the time being."
Because of the changes in Emperor Wu's mausoleum, Kunwu Sect and Kuangdao Sect gave up the idea of uniting with Guhua Sect. Instead, they agreed on an offensive and defensive alliance agreement.
They had no intention of telling Zhu Tao the news in the capital.
Zhu Tao was originally immersed in the dream of the three sects uniting to destroy the Palace of Hell, but as a result, the Kunwu Sect and the Crazy Sword Sect were gone forever.
Here we received news from the Guhua Sect again. Elder Qian and his party have not returned to the sect yet and must have disappeared within the Song Kingdom.
Zhu Tao couldn't help but be shocked after receiving the news. He naturally knew who had attacked Gu Huazong. Thinking that his letter must have fallen into the hands of the Palace of Hell, he became a little restless.
He didn't expect that the King of Hell would be so bold and dare to take the initiative, and his strength also frightened him. That was the Western Martial King, and he disappeared without a sound.
After thinking about it, Zhu Tao decided to leave Song.
He couldn't stay too long in the Northeast Region. He also had other tasks and couldn't waste too much time in this barren land.
He sent someone to send a letter to Gu Huazong, stating that the matter must be caused by the Palace of Hell, so he led the people from the Xihai Chamber of Commerce and left the Song Dynasty that day.
Zhu Tao did not expect that his messenger could not leave Lin'an County, and the letter fell into the hands of Yang Xiao.
Chu Ming didn't take it seriously when he received the news. He didn't care about Zhu Tao's personal life or death and had no intention of embarrassing him. Chu Ming has a big game in his heart!
It was no different from what Chu Ming analyzed. The so-called alliance of the three sects had already fallen apart before it was established.
The departure of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce made the situation that had eased become tense again.
"Your Majesty, the fight between the Zheng family and the Li family is getting more and more fierce now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Why, you really think they broke up."
Compared to Eunuch An's excitement, Emperor Song remained calm.
"This old slave is so stupid. How can he still act like a show when he has reached this point?"
"You lack understanding of the aristocratic family. For the sake of profit, no matter how much sacrifice they make, they can do it. Now they are just joining forces to act for me."
Seeing that Eunuch An still looked confused, Emperor Song continued, "Do you really think that there is no King Wu in this family?"
"The West Sea Chamber of Commerce sells King Wu's skills every ten years. After so many years of accumulation, do you think the family will be short of skills?"
Mr. An shook his head subconsciously.
