My zombie army

In the evening, Chen Sheng accompanied Ye Qingqing and Mrs. Ye to have dinner and then returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Now the National Division has been renovated and is very impressive.

and guarded by five hundred imperial troops,

Solemn and solemn.

When Chen Sheng arrived at the door, there were four forbidden soldiers guarding the door.

"Meet the Imperial Master."

Chen Sheng supported him in the air and said,

"well done."

Back at the house, Chen Sheng took a comfortable bath and prepared to rest.

At this time, the housekeeper reported to Li Cheng, the manager of Rongcheng Pawn Shop, asking for an audience.

As soon as he heard it was Uncle Li, Chen Sheng quickly asked the housekeeper to invite Uncle Li to the living room.

In the living room, Chen Sheng met Li Cheng again.

Chen Sheng saluted and said,

"My nephew meets my uncle."

Li Cheng helped Chen Sheng up and said,

"Xiaosheng, you are now a national master and cannot perform such a grand ceremony."

Chen Sheng said,

"Uncle Li, no matter what happens to me now, I am still your nephew."

Uncle Li's eyes were moist and he said,

"well."

Chen Sheng said,

"Uncle Li, why are you here so late?"

Li Cheng said,

"You know, I work for the second prince, and he wants to treat you to a meal."

Chen Sheng said awkwardly,

"Uncle Li, you know that I don't accept banquets."

Li Cheng laughed and said,

"Xiaosheng, you underestimate your Uncle Li. I took this opportunity to see you. When I get back later, I will reject him on your behalf. Today, I stopped by to tell you something about the second prince."

Chen Sheng said,

"Uncle Li, tell me."

Li Cheng took a sip of tea and said slowly,

"I work next to the second prince, and he trusts me more now. I also know some things about him. Since the death of the third prince, the only ones who have the right to inherit the throne and have the strength are the eldest prince and the second prince. With The second prince is traveling with the Xuanwu Legion,"

Chen Sheng asked doubtfully,

"Is it the Xuanwu Legion?"

Li Cheng said,

"Yes, the Xuanwu Legion is stationed at Xuantian Pass, mainly to defend against the Hu people. But as far as I know, the second prince has reached some kind of agreement with the Hu people. The Hu people have powerful and huge cavalry, plus the Xuanwu Legion, the second prince It’s very powerful.”

Chen Sheng asked again,

"Uncle Li, do you know the eldest prince? Is he related to the White Tiger Legion?"

Li Cheng shook his head and said,

"No, the White Tiger Legion is the same as the Blue Dragon Legion. The first thing that matters most to the eldest prince is that he is the eldest son. As long as he does not commit suicide, the throne should be his. However, the eldest prince is now an adult. But His Majesty has not expressed his position yet, so the second prince felt that he had hope, so he united with the Hu people."

"Once His Majesty announces that the eldest prince will be crown prince, it is estimated that the second prince will raise an army."

"Today, I am here to tell you these things. I hope you are prepared. Fighting for the throne is very cruel, so, Xiaosheng, you must pay attention. Once you make a choice, there is no way out."

Chen Sheng said,

"Uncle Li, I know this. Uncle Ye once told me."

Li Cheng said,

"By the way, your future father-in-law is also a political expert. I feel relieved to have him as your adviser."

Afterwards, Chen Sheng and Li Cheng chatted some more, and Li Cheng left.

The four major legions of the Great Yan Dynasty are all separate forces and have their own defense tasks. The imperial court gave them the highest treatment, and they had territories where they were stationed, so they could collect taxes.

The marshals of the four legions are all talented people. Just look at Uncle Ye and Wei Hong.

The next day, Chen Sheng got up early and started training.

In the mansion, Chen Sheng built a training ground for his daily martial arts practice.

Dragon Yin Sword Technique, Three Heaven-Splitting Styles,

It takes repeated practice to appreciate its subtlety.

The more you practice, the more you feel that its sword skills are profound, profound and wonderful.

After practicing the knife skills,

Chen Sheng came to a small pavilion.

Wine, vegetables, melons and fruits have been prepared in the pavilion.

In front of the small pavilion is a small lake with clear water and many fish in it.

The environment here is dark and elegant,

A breeze blew and there was a sound of water.

When Chen Sheng was resting,

Butler Li suddenly walked over quickly,

"Master, Chief Xue Yuan of the Ministry of Punishments would like to see you."

Chen Sheng said,

"welcome."

After a while, Xue Yuan came over.

Chen Sheng pointed to the stone bench opposite and said,

"Mr. Xue, please sit down."

Xue Yuan said,

"Thank you, Master Imperial Master."

Chen Sheng poured another glass of wine for Xue Yuan and handed it to him.

"Try it. This is the royal wine given by the palace. It's very good."

After Xue Yuan took the wine, he took a sip, put it on the stone table, and said,

"Good wine, really good wine."

Chen Sheng also drank a glass of wine and asked,

"Mr. Xue, why are you here today?"

Xue Yuan said,

"Sir, there has been a disappearance in the capital."

Chen Sheng said slowly,

"The disappearance case? Shouldn't it be a matter of the Criminal Department? Does it have anything to do with us?"

Xue Yuan said,

"Sir, it has something to do with the Wusheng Cult."

As soon as he heard that it was related to the Wusheng Cult, Chen Sheng immediately became energetic.

"Tell me."

Xue Yuan said,

"Sir, yesterday you asked your subordinates to investigate the affairs of the Wusheng Cult. In fact, while you were away, I had already sent people to investigate the affairs of the Wusheng Cult near the royal capital. The Wusheng Cult used to have a branch in Wangdu. Later, After the branch was wiped out, no more branches were established.”

"As for the branches, they are all followers of the Immortal Cult."

"The stronghold is only related to the Wusheng Cult. It provides information and conducts some business transactions to the Wusheng Cult."

"According to our verification, there are six Wusheng Sect strongholds around the royal capital. Among them, the White Horse Temple outside the city is the largest one. And the current disappearance case is related to the White Horse Temple."

Chen Sheng said,

"Tell me more about the disappearance."

Xue Yuan said,

"Sir, this case is actually related to me. I have an uncle who is a businessman. My uncle has a concubine. Three days ago, he went to White Horse Temple to offer incense and has not returned yet. He knew that I worked in the Ministry of Punishment, so he Come to me and hope that I can investigate. As soon as I heard that it was related to the White Horse Temple, I came to see the adults immediately. I think we can use the disappearance case to investigate the White Horse Temple."

Chen Sheng thought for a while and said,

"Two questions."

"First, why did I come to you after missing for three days?"

"Second, who is behind the White Horse Temple? It makes you worry."

Xue Yuan said,

"Reporting to your lord, my uncle sent people to search for him for three days, and also went to the White Horse Temple. However, the White Horse Temple said that the person had left. Now there is no one alive or dead body."

"The White Horse Temple is related to the Queen. It was built by a distant relative of the Queen. The Queen occasionally goes there to offer incense."

The Queen is the mother of the eldest prince. It seems that the White Horse Temple is related to the eldest prince.

Chen Sheng stood up and said to Xue Yuan,

"You go and get ready. Let's take people to visit White Horse Temple. Oh, by the way, before going to White Horse Temple, let's go to your uncle's house first."

Xue Yuan said doubtfully,

"Going to my uncle's house?"

Chen Sheng said,

"If we want to find someone, we must first go to the missing person's residence."
