Chapter 316 Leaving the Palace

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After Zhou Chen read the news sent by Dongchang, he stood up and walked out of the Yangxin Hall.

Three days have passed since Wen Qingwu and the others left that day.

In the past three days, there was no news that anything had happened, which made Zhou Chen feel relieved for the time being.

Zhou Chen was really worried that Wen Qingwu would not give up and cause something to happen.

If that time comes, fighting each other will not be a good outcome, and it will not be good for anyone.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the past three days and everything was fine.

Zhou Chen walked out of the Yangxin Hall and glanced at the gray sky.

Since yesterday, the occasional phenomena of heaven and earth that still appeared have completely disappeared.

Although the sky is still a little gray, it has returned to its normal state.

Zhou Chen knew that it might be that this sudden change of heaven and earth had faded away, and the integration with the wild world was over.

Zhou Chen looked at the majestic palace halls, and suddenly had the idea to take a look outside the palace.

Since Zhou Chen became the emperor of this great Zhou Dynasty, he seems to have never left the deep palace, and he doesn't know what the world outside the palace is like.

Previously, as an emperor, Zhou Chen had many important national affairs to deal with.

Therefore, Zhou Chen did not have extra time to go out.

But now, with the cabinet, all matters of the imperial court, big and small, are handled by the cabinet. Only a very few major matters require the approval of Emperor Zhou Chen.

Emperor Zhou Chen is no longer as busy as before and has some free time.

As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chen had control over the vast territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the entire world of the Great Zhou Dynasty belonged to Zhou Chen.

But Zhou Chen has never even left the imperial palace until now, and he doesn't know what his country is like...

I have to say that this is a pity.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Chen immediately turned around and returned to the Yangxin Hall: "Cao Zhengchun, bring me some regular clothes, I want to leave the palace."

"Leaving the palace?"

Cao Zhengchun, who was following Zhou Chen, was obviously stunned for a moment.

Cao Zhengchun didn't know why Zhou Chen suddenly wanted to leave the palace.

"What are you still doing? Go and get me some regular clothes."

Zhou Chen glared at Cao Zhengchun who was in a daze.

"Old slave, go right away."

Cao Zhengchun reacted and immediately went to get Zhou Chen's regular clothes.

…

Half an hour later.

The east gate of the palace opens.

Zhou Chen wore regular clothes and walked out of the palace gate.

Beside Zhou Chen, Cao Zhengchun also changed into a eunuch uniform, following Zhou Chen like a loyal old slave.

Behind him were four other guards who had also replaced the chamberlain and looked down from the inner court.

This is the protective power of the emperor Zhou Chen when he leaves the palace.

In fact, when the emperor left the palace, even if he was visiting incognito, he did not want to cause any commotion, but it still alarmed the entire palace.

In addition to this superficial guard force, there are also an unknown number of disguised factory guards and forbidden troops following behind for protection.

This was the result of Emperor Zhou Chen repeatedly telling Cao Zhengchun that he did not need to bring many manpower.

otherwise.

I'm afraid there will be more people accompanying the emperor to protect Zhou Chen.

Cao Zhengchun followed Zhou Chen closely, his eyes were cold, and he scanned the surroundings cautiously. As long as there was the slightest movement, Cao Zhengchun would definitely take action.

Anyone who dares to stand in front of Cao Zhengchun will be dealt with ruthlessly by Cao Zhengchun.

In the darkness, Dian Wei's eyes were alert, his energy locked on every move around him at any time, panic and murderous intent brewing...

It can be said that the protective force around Zhou Chen, even if it is encircled by a large army, even if it is attacked by a powerful person in the life-threatening realm who is fighting for his life, Zhou Chen cannot be hurt at all...

On the streets of Luoyang City, Zhou Chen walked slowly with his hands behind his back, like a young man from a wealthy family.

However, the curious look on Zhou Chen's face showed that he was a person who did not go out often.

On the streets, countless vendors hawked their wares.

Very lively.

Obviously.

The city of Luoyang seemed not to be greatly affected by this strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.

Zhou Chen felt fresh when he listened to the vendors' hawking. He stopped and looked at it casually.

"Master, would you like some candied haws on a stick? My Lao Zhang's candied haws on a stick is famous for its deliciousness in Luoyang City. The candied haws on a stick sold by me, Lao Zhang, is the second best in Luoyang City. No one dares to claim the first place..."

"

A vendor selling candied haws on a stick saw Zhou Chen's extraordinary demeanor, his eyes lit up, and he was about to approach and sell his candied haws on a stick to Zhou Chen...

However, before the merchant came close, he suddenly felt a chill in his body, as if he was being stared at by countless eyes filled with murderous intent...

The vendor immediately shivered all over his body and his legs trembled a little. He vaguely felt that there seemed to be many more people around him, and these people were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally. The vendor had never been watched by so many people at the same time in his life.

Not only that, the eyes of the people looking at him were so scary, as cold as wild beasts, that the merchant did not even dare to move.

At this moment, being stared at coldly by so many people, the vendor felt as if the aristocratic family had frozen, and he had an illusion of imminent life and death.

The vendor wanted to shout for help, but when the vendor moved his lips, he found that he couldn't make any sound at all.

The traders were very frightened, very frightened.

He is just a candied haws-lud seller. He has been doing his job since he was a child. He has never encountered such a scene.

Just when the merchant felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

A gentle voice sounded in the merchant's ears.

"No."

Zhou Chen glanced at the vendor, turned around and left.

The moment Zhou Chen turned around, the vendor felt that time began to pass again, and those terrifying eyes staring at him disappeared, as if everything just now was an illusion.

The vendor's back was soaked with sweat, as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

"just……"

The vendor swallowed his saliva and turned a little pale.

Merchants like them may not have any other abilities, but their ability to have a sharp eye is not small.

Originally, the vendor saw that Zhou Chen was not an ordinary person, and thought that Zhou Chen was a wealthy young master from some family, so he recommended his candied haws to Zhou Chen in the hope of making a fortune.

After all, it is the richest young master in a big family like this who can earn the most money.

But who would have thought that Zhou Chen, a young man with extraordinary temperament, seemed to be more valuable than he imagined.

An ordinary young man from an aristocratic family does not have so many guards accompanying him.

Having been stared at by so many cold eyes just now, the vendor naturally felt that these people were not ordinary people.

…

On the streets of Luoyang City.

Zhou Chen was walking when Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you need to capture that vendor just now?"

In Cao Zhengchun's opinion, the merchant must have been suspicious if he came over to the emperor either early or late, just when the emperor was leaving the palace.

Since there is suspicion, arrest him first and then talk about it.

Cao Zhengchun will never let anyone with suspicion go.

Even if the vendor turns out to be innocent in the end, Cao Zhengchun doesn't care.

When Dongchang handles affairs, he never asks whether he is innocent or not.

Whenever the emperor's safety was related to, Cao Zhengchun would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

After all, nothing could be more important than the emperor's safety.

Zhou Chen glared at Cao Zhengchun angrily, "He's just a trader, not an assassin, what are you doing with him?"

"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm just going out for a walk. No one will know."

"Besides, with my strength, even if there are any assassins, they can't hurt me."

Zhou Chen understood Cao Zhengchun's actions.

As a bodyguard accompanying the emperor, the emperor's safety is indeed his first responsibility.

Because, once something happens to the emperor, their accompanying guards will be the first to bear the consequences of inadequate protection.

But Zhou Chen understands and doesn't agree with them being so neurotic.

Even if no one discovered their identities before, they would still be able to tell something different from their strange behavior like Cao Zhengchun and others.

"besides."

"When you go out, call me, no, call me 'Young Master'. Don't call me Your Majesty as soon as you open your mouth. Are you afraid that people won't know our identities?"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and reminded him.

"Yes, sir."

"Old slave, I remember."

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he immediately changed his words.

Zhou Chen nodded and stopped in front of a busy pavilion.

"Where is this Zuiyue Tower?"

Zhou Chen glanced at the words "Zuiyue Tower" hanging on the pavilion and asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this Zuiyue Tower is a place where literati and poets enjoy their romance."

Cao Zhengchun glanced at Zuiyuelou and said implicitly.

A romantic place?

"Isn't this a romantic place?"

Zhou Chen immediately understood the implicitness in Cao Zhengchun's words.

No wonder it's so lively here.

It turned out to be a romantic place.

Zhou Chen looked at Zuiyue Tower and was a little hesitant to go in and experience this romantic place in the feudal era.

To be honest, Zhou Chen was quite curious about this romantic place in the feudal era.

However, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if people knew that he had entered the Fengyue place, it might have a bad impact.

While Zhou Chen was hesitating, a whispered conversation came over; "It's really terrible. People in a village outside the city died inexplicably. The death was so weird that even the government couldn't find any clues.

"

"Yes! This is not the first time. This kind of thing has happened eight times outside the city. Now, many people don't dare to go outside the city."

"I heard that those people were killed by demons and ghosts. Their deaths were weird, there were no wounds, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"Some people say that His Majesty killed too much and angered God, so the demons and ghosts appeared. The recent visions on earth are the demons and ghosts that God is sending down to punish the Great Zhou Dynasty."

…

Several figures walked over as he spoke.

Then, they walked into Zuiyue Tower.

When Cao Zhengchun heard the conversation between several people, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

If you dare to arrange for Your Majesty, you are really seeking death.

Cao Zhengchun was about to step forward and speak out, but Zhou Chen glared back.

Zhou Chen's expression changed a little as he listened to the whispers of several people retreating.

Originally, Zhou Chen wanted to go to Zuiyue Tower to have a look, but now he suddenly lost his mood.

From the conversations of those people, Zhou Chen could tell that something big had happened outside the city.

A man from a village outside the city died inexplicably. He died in a strange way. There were no wounds on his body, and the government could not find any clues.

And, this is not the first time something like this has happened.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment, then turned to Cao Zhengchun and said, "Let's go and have a look outside the city."

Zhou Chen was not in the mood to continue looking around the city.

Since such a strange thing happened outside the city, Zhou Chen took advantage of the time to go and take a look for himself.

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Zhou Chen.

But after seeing Zhou Chen's unquestionable attitude, Cao Zhengchun didn't say a word in the end and could only follow Zhou Chen and walk quickly outside the city.

…

outside the city.

In a village thirty miles away.

At this time, there was deathly silence in the whole village.

A dark, dead air gathered over the village.

Zhou Chen and Cao Zhengchun took only more than ten minutes to reach the sky above this village from Luoyang City.

As soon as he stepped into the village, Zhou Chen felt an inexplicable coldness.

This made Zhou Chen frown involuntarily.

The death energy gathering over the village, after Zhou Chen's arrival, was like a mouse meeting a cat. It turned into nothing and disappeared completely.

Zhou Chen landed at the entrance of the village and walked into the village.

Cao Zhengchun followed closely.

Dian Wei no longer hid in the darkness, but showed up and followed Zhou Chen into the village with Cao Zhengchun.

The village was eerily quiet, and the whole village seemed to be enveloped in a cold atmosphere.

Zhou Chen walked step by step, and the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique on his body started to work automatically, and the vast national destiny gathered from all directions.

In just an instant, the cold atmosphere of the entire village collapsed under the vast national destiny, and was completely purified and destroyed, and the entire village returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, this village is so cold and chilly that it seems to be something extraordinary."

Cao Zhengchun felt the cold feeling that had disappeared and said.

"You also feel that this village is indeed a bit strange."

"My Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique actually started to work automatically, and the cold breath and feeling seemed to be restrained by the fate of the country."

Zhou Chen said with a slight frown.

Zhou Chen felt the changes just now the most clearly.

The emperor's art of conferring gods was in operation, and the fate of the country purified the entire village's anger and cold feeling.

This made Zhou Chen feel a little incredible.

"Let's go! The people from Luoyang Yamen are in the village. Let's go and have a look."

As Zhou Chen is a strong man in the heavenly realm, the entire village cannot escape his perception.

When Zhou Chen first came to the village, he already felt that someone from the government was in the village.

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he continued walking towards the village.

"Who are you?"

"Don't you know that this place has been ordered not to be entered by the government? Who let you in?"

Before they had gone far, Zhou Chen and the others met the officers from the Yamen.

One of the leading guards saw Zhou Chen and the others approaching and immediately spoke up and yelled loudly.

Everyone in this village died inexplicably, and the government has issued an order not to allow people to enter.

The leading officer did not expect that there would be people who were not afraid of death and dared to come in.
