Can I become the Yu-Gi-Oh by summoning the Flame Swordsman?

"Bai Chu? Could it be that... this young master is the companion that Master Su mentioned?" Zhang Zhu was delighted, and considering the same supernatural abilities displayed by Bai Chu, Zhang Zhu could almost conclude that the person in front of him was the one he had been looking for.

Bai Chu restored his original appearance and said, "Su Xing is here indeed. Where is he?"

Zhang Zhu waved his hand towards the house and said, "Young Master, don't worry. Sit down in the hall and I will tell you everything."

At this time, two servants came hurriedly to support Zhang Zhu, and Bai Chu slowly followed Zhang Zhu, entered the house, and sat down in the guest seat.

"Old sir, please forgive my rashness. I have a small question and I would like to ask you for your advice."

Zhang Zhu glanced at Bai Chu and said, "Sir, please speak."

"The old gentleman is the Grand Master of the court. Although he is old, he is a man of high moral character and noble status. Why does a shameless villain like Xi'an dare to act so arrogantly in the old gentleman's house? Why doesn't the old gentleman call for someone to arrest and execute him directly? Eliminate the evil for the king?"

"Alas, Xi'an is nothing, but he has now delivered the king's decree. Not to mention killing him, if I have done anything disrespectful, he will go back and report to the king and punish me. If not for this, he would not dare to be so presumptuous, let alone enter the door of my Zhang Mansion."

"The king is my age. Can he have such control over the court?"

"The young king is a man of great means." Zhang Zhu sighed, "Today in the court, the king criticized the Minister of War Yang Qi for not educating his son well, allowing his son to commit a crime and trying to cover it up. He has sent people to Yang Qi's hometown to arrest him."

"Purple Gold City is not far from Yang Qi's hometown. If Yang Qi wants to escape, he can run to the ends of the earth before being caught. Can he really be caught?"

"My lord, your question is childish." Zhang Zhu chuckled and said, "The little king's goal is Yang Qi, not to enforce justice on behalf of heaven or punish evil. The person he wants to catch is Yang Qi who opposes him, not his son. If he can't catch his son, Yang Qi will have to be tied up for his son, and there is no escape."

"Shouldn't Yang Qi be quiet now?"

Zhang Zhu nodded and said, "Yang Qi has already claimed to be ill and asked to return home. Although the young king did not agree, he ordered him to recuperate at home. It is estimated that he will not go to court for a while."

"Old sir, do you know what Yang Qi and others are planning?"

"I know a thing or two," Zhang Zhu said thoughtfully, "They want to overthrow the powerful little king and support the little king's brother, Qin Yu, as king. They once came to seek my support to join them, but I did not agree.

They sent some powerful people to assassinate me, but I was protected by Master Su and was not hurt. A few days ago, Master Su had a fierce battle with the gang of thieves. Since then, Master Su was seriously injured and is still recovering from his injuries. "

"If I don't join them, I will be killed by them..." Bai Chu nodded and said, "Old sir, please take me to see Su Xing himself."

"Okay," Zhang Zhu waved to the servants to come and help him stand up.

"Old sir, there is no need to lead the way yourself. Just ask the servant to take me there." Bai Chu hurriedly stood up and said.

"No, you and Mr. Su are both my benefactors. I, Zhang, am not familiar with etiquette and am afraid that I will neglect you two." Zhang Zhu stood still tremblingly, his body almost being carried out of the house.

On the way to the residence where Su Xing was recuperating, Bai Chu continued to talk, "Mr. Zhang, after I get rid of Xi'an today, I plan to pretend to be Xi'an and enter the Zijin Palace. May I ask if there are still people like Xi'an in Zijin City who are bad-tempered, mean and shameless?"

"Alas, compared to that guy, Xian is much gentler and more restrained." Zhang Zhu sighed.

"Who?" Bai Chu's expression turned cold.

"Cao Zhen, the eunuch of the Imperial Household." Zhang Zhu said slowly, "Cao Zhen is the young king's most trusted eunuch. The young king indulged Cao Zhen in his tyranny and openly solicited bribes from all officials. Some spineless officials also shamelessly kowtowed to Cao Zhen, and some even shaved their beards and claimed to be Cao Zhen's sons. Not long after, they were promoted and given more salaries. This is truly an anecdote for the ages.

Later, Cao Zhen took advantage of his position to often hide those memorials impeaching him, and secretly stipulated that during every court meeting, anyone who came to see Wang Zhen must pay a hundred taels of silver; if they could pay a thousand taels of silver, they could be treated to wine and food and return home drunk and full.

"In this great Guang Dynasty, is there not a single ray of light? No one stands up to resist this chaos?" Bai Chu asked disappointedly.

"Only one person." Zhang Zhu said with emotion: "Governor Yu Man, every time he went to Zijin City to report on his work, he never gave Cao Zhen a penny or even some worthless local specialties. When Cao Zhen asked him if he had any token of appreciation, he smiled and said: I brought two sleeves of clean wind, which is the most precious thing in the world."

"Incorruptible?" Bai Chu's mind moved slightly and he remembered the name.

"Yes, this kind of person is the most shining person in the world. Later, Cao Zhen found an excuse to put him in jail, which aroused the indignation of the people. The people signed a petition one after another, and Cao Zhen had no choice but to reinstate him to his original post and continue to inspect the local area."

As he was talking, Zhang Zhu was supported by a servant and came to a secluded and elegant courtyard. The servant came forward and knocked on the door: "Master Su."

A voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Su Xing endured the severe pain in her chest, sat up from the bed, looked towards the door, and saw a familiar old man with a white beard walking into the room. Behind him, there was a short, feminine person who looked like a man.

"Who are you?" Su Xing became alert instantly.

"Haha, it's me—" Bai Chu covered his face with his hands, and his body suddenly began to grow taller, returning to his original appearance. "Bai Chu."

“Bai Chu?” Su Xing couldn’t hide the joy on his face, but he still said, “You finally showed up. I was wondering if you were killed in some corner by the Styx Dimension.”

"I won't die until you die." Bai Chu said with a smile.

"Grandpa, please allow me to have a word with this kid alone, okay?" Su Xing said to Zhang Zhu who was behind Bai Chu.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell me if there's anything I can help with. " Assistant Zhang nodded and walked out the door.

"What happened to your injury? Is there anyone in the Styx Dimension who could injure you so badly?" Bai Chu asked Su Xing as soon as Zhang Zhu left.

"Well, I greatly underestimated the strength of the Styx Dimension." Su Xing covered his chest and said with difficulty. "It is really as difficult as climbing to the sky for the two of us to deal with them alone."

"I actually heard such discouraging words from you."

"I know this clearly. Although I am confident, I am not conceited." Su Xing sighed, "However, we still have a lot to do. My injury should be healed after a few more days of rest. Then we can launch a counterattack against them."

"What should we do next?" Bai Chu asked.

"Ahem," Su Xing said to Bai Chu breathlessly, "According to the information provided by my informant, King Cheng took advantage of the locust plague in the Fuhai area and planned two large-scale peasant rebellions. He knew that his brother was a warmongering person who would definitely withdraw the few remaining troops in Zijin City to support the southeast.

The troops in the Tiannan region are still fighting the remnants of the bandits. If they support the southeastern coastal areas to quell the rebellion, it will inevitably cause the defense of Zijin City to be empty. When the troops are completely exhausted in the southern region, King Cheng will contact the northern barbarians..."

Su Xing looked at Bai Chu with a serious expression.

Bai Chu's focus shifted a little, and he smiled and said, "You have an informant in the Styx Dimension? Is it now the Styx Dimension's turn to catch the traitor? Fortunately, there are only two of us this time, so we don't have to worry about this."

"That's not the point." Su Xing shook his head. "Bai Chu, you know what will happen next in history. We must try our best to avoid this disaster so that we can take back the God of Dimension and win the future of Tianhen Dimension."

Bai Chu nodded and said, "I will go to Fuhai to see what the rebellion there is like. If we can resolve it in advance, we can allow the army to return to Zijin City in advance to deal with the barbarians' invasion from the north. The Xian, whom I have taken over, is the king's favorite eunuch, so he can be used just in time."

As Bai Chu was speaking, there was a sudden "crack" from the roof - the sound of tiles breaking.

"There's someone on the roof!" Bai Chu and Su Xing looked up at the roof at the same time.
