Martial Way of the Heavens

"I'll be careful." Qin Chu nodded.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you about her. After all, I am an elder. But if I don't tell you, you will not be prepared in your heart. Let me tell you this! Empress Wu is one of the top powerful people in the Zhou Dynasty, but she doesn't easily It’s just a move, she might be a great sage,” Zhou Yuanshuo said after taking a sip of wine.

"Queen Wu is a great sage?" Qin Chu's face was full of shock.

Zhou Yuanshuo nodded, "I remember very clearly that I was assassinated as soon as I returned to the imperial capital that year. I was pressed down and beaten. It was one of my imperial grandfather's personal guards who helped me to rescue him and repel him! Assassinate me. It was a woman with a tattoo on her left hand. Later, I attended a banquet in the palace and saw the tattoo on Queen Wu’s hand. "

Qin Chu was silent. He was shocked by the news. A woman living deep in the inner palace turned out to be a great sage. This was too scary.

What is a great sage? There are invincible existences under the imperial realm. It is hard to say whether the Zhou Dynasty currently has the imperial realm. It is not an exaggeration to say that Empress Wu, who is a great sage, is the top group of people.

"Of course, even if she is a great sage, she cannot do whatever she wants. There are many great sages in our Great Zhou Dynasty. My imperial grandfather killed the great sages. In addition, my ancestor of the Zhou family has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years, but his existence has not No one knows what state he has reached if he dares to ignore it," Zhou Yuanshuo said to Qin Chu.

"Your imperial grandfather was the titled Emperor Wu. I know this. In addition to Lord Emperor Wu, there is another ancestor in the Zhou Dynasty?" Qin Chu was really shocked today. Scary news came one after another.

"Yes, the strongest person in the Zhou family is not Emperor Wu, but the ancestor. However, many people have never seen him. He only appeared once when my father ascended the throne." Zhou Yuanshuo nodded.

Qin Chu shook his head, "These have little to do with me, but if Empress Wu wants to mess with me, I will die."

"She's not unscrupulous. I'm just reminding you, don't scare yourself, haha!" Zhou Yuanshuo said with a laugh. He realized that he had scared Qin Chu.

"Qin Chu, there are some things that Yuan Shuo didn't tell you in detail. In the Zhou Dynasty, women with foreign surnames were not allowed to participate in politics. Although the queen is strong, she cannot do things unscrupulously. Dealing with you may be a simple thing for her, but it will cause The follow-up will have a great impact on her," Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Okay!" Qin Chu nodded. Facing a behemoth like Queen Wu, he had no choice.

"But her son, my brother Yuan Xing, is quite good. He is peaceful and well-educated. If it weren't for Empress Wu's great ambition, among these princes, the one I would most likely support is Yuan Xing." Zhou Yuanshuo faced Qin Chu. said.

Qin Chu said nothing. He must keep a respectful distance from Queen Wu's son.

"Another day, I will introduce you to you, so that Queen Wu will think twice if she wants to touch you." Zhou Yuanshuo said to Qin Chu. He mentioned Zhou Yuanxing just because he wanted to introduce him to Qin Chu. M..

"Prince Shuo, since you have a good relationship with Prince Yuanxing, why are you still at odds with Queen Wu?" Qin Chu was a little confused.

After taking a sip of wine, Zhou Yuanshuo was silent for a moment, "My position is very clear. I will not support any prince to ascend to the throne, nor will I tolerate others' suppression of me. If Zhou Yuanxing has the ability, he will fight for the position of crown prince himself. I Regardless of this, if her mother wants to suppress me, then I will tell her that whoever wants to provoke me will have to pay the price! When I live, I have to live according to my own will and not be influenced by anything. My father can't do that. Neither can Queen Wu."

"I understand." Qin Chu nodded.

After staying in Zhou Yuanshuo's mansion for a long time, Qin Chu and Concubine Shi Qing left. They knew a lot of things today, and the impact on their hearts was still a bit big.

"Sister Fei, the water in the Great Zhou Imperial Capital is too deep, we still have to be careful." Qin Chu said.

Concubine Shi Qing nodded, "We are simple cultivators, but they are not. They want to fight for power. As for Zhou Yuanshuo's arrangement, we heard that he will not harm us."

The day after Qin Chu and Concubine Shi Qing returned to the mansion, Zhou Yuanshuo came to visit with a man. This man was very young and somewhat immature. He was Zhou Yuanxing, the legitimate son of the queen.

Qin Chu bowed his hands in greeting, and Zhou Yuanxing returned the gesture.

"Yuanxing, you know, the emperor doesn't have many friends in the imperial capital. Why don't he have any friends? It's because they are not worth making friends with, but this Qin Chu is the emperor's friend." Zhou Yuanshuo said.

"Yuanxing understands what Brother Huang means. Brother Huang first values ​​character when looking at people. If Brother Huang approves, it shows that Mr. Qin is a good person. Yuanxing will treat him as a friend." Zhou Yuanxing spoke, his words were very calm, just like It’s the same as a scholar’s ​​endorsement.

"Haha! Fortunately, I am not so dull today and can understand my brother's words." Zhou Yuanshuo said with a smile.

Zhou Yuanxing shook his head, "I'm not stupid. I can understand what others say and right from wrong. I just don't want to speak or get involved. I think it's good to live like Brother Shuo Huang."

"No, you are different today than usual." Zhou Yuanshuo looked at Zhou Yuanxing and said.

"Hey! Can you drink today?" Zhou Yuanxing looked at Zhou Yuanshuo and asked.

Zhou Yuanshuo nodded to Qin Chu and asked Qin Chu to arrange a banquet. Then he took Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanxing to the pavilion by the lake.

"Have you been stimulated by something?" Zhou Yuanshuo looked at Zhou Yuanxing and asked.

"The queen mother planned to get me engaged to a cousin of the Wu family, in order to get closer to her, but I didn't want to; she changed another one, and the other party was the daughter of the King of Han, but I still didn't like it. The queen mother told me My wife’s family must be able to help me, but this is not what I want. I said I wanted to live like you, Brother Shuo, but my mother and father said no, there is only one you in the Great Zhou Dynasty. You can protect yourself. If I follow your example, I will be eaten by others." Zhou Yuanxing sighed.

"My father and mother are right, my path is not suitable for you." Zhou Yuanshuo nodded.

"If one day, I leave the royal family and the imperial capital, none of the royal brothers and sisters will remember me, maybe only Brother Shuo." Zhou Yuanxing looked at Zhou Yuanshuo and said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yuanshuo frowned.

"I came out today after receiving a message from Brother Shuohuang. The main reason is to say goodbye to Brother Shuohuang. I have to leave. Leave the damn palace and the damn imperial capital." Zhou Yuanxing said.

Zhou Yuanshuo paced back and forth, then looked at Zhou Yuanxing, "The outside world is not suitable for you."

"Brother Imperial, you were so miserable back then, why didn't you come here? I can do it too. I want to go my own way." Zhou Yuanxing shook his head.

"Today I will meet with your mother, Qin Chu, and you will come with me." Zhou Yuanshuo made a decision.
