Peerless ruthless man, cut down the world

Chapter 353 The Eunuch in the Palace
In an attic in the imperial city,

Gu Zhan quietly raised his head and looked at the sky by himself. After a long time, he slowly retracted his gaze and glanced at the system page:
Player: Gu Zhan

Realm: Immortal King Realm (0/100000)

Title: Martial Arts Pioneer

Origin value: 16552
.........

"It's time to pick up the pace!"

Gu Zhan muttered.

When he just broke through to the Immortal King Realm, he had already attracted Heavenly Dao's deliberate attention. That gaze stayed in the human world for a long time. Fortunately, Gu Zhan's breakthrough has always been a matter of course and he directly reached the peak of the realm in one step. Only by suppressing the fluctuations in the cultivation base of the Immortal King Realm in time did he barely escape the detection of Heavenly Dao.

However, he felt a sense of urgency,
Through those top human beings who searched for souls, he has already learned a lot of truths about this world. Although it is difficult to determine whether it is true or not, he can know some of the facts and determine the covetedness of heaven.

More importantly, it is now certain that there is still a Confucian sage hidden in the world who does not know the depth and purpose, and if a Confucian sage returns to the world, there is no guarantee that there will be other ancient figures staying in the world. In the world, the cultivation base of these people is definitely very powerful, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion whether it will bring unpredictable effects.

"There are still quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the world, so... let Xiuxian completely fail!"

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step forward, and came outside a palace in the harem.

"See Your Majesty!"

Several maids on duty at the palace hurriedly knelt down to meet them, and a leading maid said: "I don't know Your Majesty, I didn't make preparations in advance, please forgive me, I will report to the Xianfei Empress!"

Gu Zhan nodded slightly, and the maid immediately got up and entered the palace.

After a while

A woman in palace costume with excellent temperament, beautiful appearance and very dignified posture led a few court ladies to greet her, with an unconcealable joy on her face, she speeded up from a distance and said, "Your Majesty, when will you come back?" Yes, why didn't you notify the concubine in advance to welcome you?"

This woman is Kou Baimen, one of the four noble concubines of the current Wu Dynasty. She was originally the leader of the Yunzhou Wulin League. After Gu Zhan ascended the throne, she was named a concubine and entered the harem. She is the most powerful in Gu Zhan's harem. .

Gu Zhan has no queen, only some concubines,
The most powerful are the four noble concubines.

Concubine Hui is Qin Hongyi, the number one female expert in the Wu Dynasty. This Qin Hongyi entered Gu Zhan's command relatively late, and her influence is not as deep-rooted as that of Kou Baimen. She can become one of the four noble concubines entirely because of her martial arts talent and strength Influence in the practice world.

Concubine Shu is ancient Qingcheng, backed by the ancient family, she was the first big force to join Gu Zhan's command, and the current patriarch Gu Chuan and Gu Zhan are close friends, and they are generally recognized as the most likely to become the queen.

The one with the least power is Defei Bai Jiuer.

This Bai Jiu'er being able to become one of the concubines was completely determined by Gu Zhan.

When he was in Yunxi, joined the Beidou Gang, and was a rookie, he had some stories with Bai Jiuer, but at that time, he was devoted to martial arts, and when Bai Jiuer left, he didn't keep her, and he didn't see her again for many years. Pass.

Before Gu Zhan ascended the throne, he returned to Linjiang City to pay respects to Yang Yunzhi, reunited with Bai Jiuer, and for a while, he was full of thoughts.

Bai Jiu'er wanted to meet again in the Jianghu, so he smiled and forgot about the Jianghu from then on. Gu Zhan curled his lips, he was not interested in any romance, so he took Bai Jiuer back to the palace and became a concubine, so, Bai Jiuer She is the weakest of the four noble concubines.

However, back then, the Yunxi Righteous Way, the Mo family headed by Mo Beiyan and the Big Dipper Gang, including the Gu family from Gu Zhan, were all willing to support Bai Jiu'er.

So, in general,

Among the four noble concubines, the influence is similar.

As for the other concubines, most of them entered the harem by relying on their faces, and only a few entered the harem by relying on their family power.

Kou Baimen held Gu Zhan's arm very affectionately and pulled Gu Zhan into the door, asking softly.

When walking to the inner courtyard,
Gu Zhan suddenly saw a gray-haired eunuch at the door, and for a moment, his heart throbbed inexplicably.

Kou Baimen explained from the side: "This is Ji Gonggong who is in charge of managing the library in the imperial city. I have been reading some martial arts miscellaneous notes these days, so I asked him to send them to me every day."

Gu Zhan frowned, looked at Ji Gonggong, and asked, "Zhen, have you met you somewhere?"

Ji Gonggong bowed, and said in awe and fear: "When your Majesty used to go in and out of the Library Pavilion, I was fortunate enough to see His Majesty Long Yan from a distance!"

"No," Gu Zhan shook his head and said, "I always feel that you have a sense of familiarity."

"This... I don't know." Eunuch Ji said.

Kou Baimen said from the side: "Your Majesty, maybe you have met Ji Gonggong before. When you first arrived in Yunxi during the Qingli period, you were serving as a thousand household guards in Pingyang Mansion. The magistrate..."

Gu Zhan frowned,
He remembered that he was still an innate warrior at that time. When he went to Pingyang Mansion, he heard that there was a very miserable magistrate in Pingyang Mansion, and his family was ruined by the local forces.

However, after he flattened the Pingyang Mansion, the prefect left alone, but Gu Zhan never met the prefect face to face.

"Your name is Ji Hanzheng, right?" Gu Zhan asked.

Eunuch Ji bowed and said, "I'm terrified, such a humble name can still be honored to be remembered by Your Majesty."

Gu Zhan looked at Ji Hanzheng for a while, and wanted to ask him why he became what he is now, but after thinking about it again, this kind of question is tantamount to uncovering other people's scars and spreading salt, so he didn't ask again, just patted him lightly. After patting Ji Hanzheng on the shoulder, he entered the palace.

Kou Baimen followed into the palace, and said softly, "Your Majesty is wondering why Ji Hanzheng entered the palace and became a eunuch?"

Gu Zhan nodded slightly.

Kou Baimen said: "He did it for revenge. In the previous dynasty, Ji Hanzheng had a bright future, but because he offended King Jing'an of Qingzhou at that time, he was killed and his family was ruined.

Later, he left Yunxi, went round and round and tried his best to enter the palace, and gradually gained the trust of the former Emperor Xia. In the last few years of Qingli, the current situation was turbulent. King Jing'an was punished all over his family, and he stayed in the palace ever since.

Until later, Emperor Xia abdicated, Your Majesty, you ascended the throne, and retained many people from the original palace. This time, Ji Hanzheng also chose to stay, and has been diligently taking care of the library. "

Gu Zhan nodded slightly, and said: "So it's like this..." After a pause, Gu Zhan asked again: "Has Ji Hanzheng practiced?"

"No," Kou Baimen said: "He neither cultivates martial arts nor comprehension, this...Your Majesty, you should be able to see it?"

Gu Zhan frowned slightly, and said: "I don't see any trace of cultivation, but I always feel that there is something on him!"
