Chapter 495: Chapter 73: Don’t think I won’t hit you because you are a eunuch [Request for monthly tickets!] _1

Cheng Hu walked very carefully.

...

Empress Feng has been busy lately. Ever since Chu Liang was imprisoned, she has been actively planning a jailbreak. Using the current manpower of the Shu Mountain Sect, she has meticulously crafted a grand plan to rescue Chu Liang. The final plan is not just a single one but is divided into three strategies; upper, middle, and lower.

The upper strategy involves using the power of the Shu Mountain to make the Red River Sect drop the case, by coaxing them with various incentives and threats. This strategy is the simplest to implement, but its drawback is that many people have done this before, it lacks creativity... Also, it may invite condemnation from the Immortal Sects and investigation from the Regent Residence, damaging the Shu Mountain’s reputation;

The middle strategy is for Empress Feng to seize the opportunity of visiting Chu Liang to secretly rescue him, then send Chu Liang to hide among the Southern Sea Islands, he would return years later under a false name. This strategy possesses some risk, and there are many unpredictable factors when executing it;

The lower strategy is for the Shu Mountain Sect to rise in rebellion, led by Master Wen Yuan, who would lead the sect’s experts in an overnight raid on Yu Capital City. Empress Feng, the insider in the Imperial Family, would lead the way, staging a beheading of the Emperor of the Yu Dynasty. Then, she would usurp the throne, grant amnesty to all, which would lead to Chu Liang’s acquittal. This strategy leaves the least aftermath, but it is difficult to execute;

When she took the plan to Master Wen Yuan, he was stunned.

"Did you write this yourself?" He looked at the detailed plan in surprise, astonished that Empress Feng could come up with such a thing.

"I only wrote for an hour, there would undoubtedly be some oversights." Empress Feng calmly replied: "We can invite Uncle Sikong and Dan Taijing to formulate a plan, then simulate it on a sand table, and choose the most fail-safe path."

"..." Master Wen Yuan scanned the plans passively, then asked her with a hint of speechlessness: "Which of these plans do you think is the best?"

"I am inclined towards the third one, although it’s the lower strategy, it would solve the problem once and for all." Empress Feng declared confidently.

"The Emperor’s surname is Xia, and mine as well. If he can sit in that position, why can’t I? When the time comes, we can march on Yu City, depose the Regent Leader, and honor all Zhenshan Elders as Generals or Prime Ministers. We can dine in the Golden Throne, feasting on meat and swigging wine, wouldn’t that be wonderful..."

As she envisioned the future, Master Wen Yuan’s brows furrowed deeper, and his forehead was filled with worry.

Oh dear.

If Shu Mountain were handed over to you, it would surely be destroyed within three years.

At first, there was a feeling that the Law Enforcement Elder let this girl run wild. But now it seems that the education from the Law Enforcement Elder might have saved her.

If she was elsewhere, wouldn’t she be a perfect rebel leader?

The problem is, her plans sound wild and outrageous, but when put on paper they look daring and meticulous, it can be seen as feasible.

This is even scarier.

She truly does have the surname Xia.

"Um...Feng... " Master Wen Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Have you ever considered the possibility... that Chu Liang is innocent? He didn’t kill the man, and once Jiang Yuebai and the officials from the Regent Residence find out the truth, he would be fine."

"Hmm." Empress Feng nodded slightly, "That’s a good approach too. We could fabricate evidence to prove that someone else did it, or find a scapegoat."

Master Wen Yuan held his forehead in his hand, "Forget it, you don’t need to consider this. You just wait for now, I assure you that Chu Liang will be fine, don’t worry."

"What do you mean?" When Empress Feng heard his words, she looked slightly disappointed, "Won’t you reconsider my plan?"

"I will consider it." Master Wen Yuan replied irritably and waved his hand, "Go back and wait for the notification."

...

Empress Feng waited at Shu Mountain for two days. She found that waiting for the notification seemed to be the biggest lie in the world, and she had no choice but to give up.

In the meantime, she went to see Old Man Sikong, hoping to use divination to prove Chu Liang’s innocence. However, even before she thought of this, the officials from the Regent Residence must have tried it.

After Old Man Sikong performed the divination, he found that if they started from the case itself, everything was blurred, indicating that something was covering the divination. When he started from Chu Liang to divine whether Chu Liang had killed someone, he found the same blurred result. There was also something on Chu Liang that could obstruct the divination.

Feeling helpless, Empress Feng had no choice but to abandon this method.

Having waited for two days, she thought of checking on Chu Liang first. She had to confirm his safety so she could plan ahead in case she needed to stage a jailbreak.

But as she sped towards Yu Capital City in a flurry of flames, she saw crowds and chaos everywhere. Empress Feng couldn’t help sighing, it would have been an opportune moment to attack the city.

When she landed at the Regent Residence, she saw Chu Liang wildly swinging his small whip, with crowds of people lined up to be whipped by him.

"Good lad, I was actually worried that you’d be tortured here. Turns out you’re the one doing the torturing." Empress Feng asked: "Have you joined their gang?"

Upon seeing his master, Chu Liang didn’t stop, but silently grumbled in his heart... For an organization like the Regent Residence, if I did join, that would be considered enlisting, not joining a gang.

"There’s chaos in the city, these people are all poisoned, and I just happen to be able to help detoxify." Chu Liang explained.

Empress Feng was about to ask some more questions when she suddenly noticed a figure in the distance, her eyes lit up: "Xiaoyu!"

Seeing Empress Feng, Xue Muyu, who was also busy stabilizing the situation, broke into a smile: "Ah Feng."

Without saying a word, Empress Feng abandoned Chu Liang and ran to Xue Muyu. Given the urgency of the situation, Xue Muyu couldn’t fully extricate herself to accompany her, but it was apparent the two shared a close relationship.

The courtyard of the Regent Residence was vast, Xue Muyu was at one end of the line and Chu Liang was at the start, treating the sick. They were far apart, with Regent Residence staff coming and going in between, so nobody paid any attention to Empress Feng.

It was at this moment that Chu Liang declined a palace attendant’s request to take him to the palace. After the attendant returned to the palace to report, Li Chengfeng suggested that the poisoned members of the imperial family and people from Roupu Country be sent to the Regent Residence instead.

Empress Wu was worried about the safety of the members of the imperial family, so she specifically requested Cheng Hu to accompany them.

After Cheng Hu arrived and found that Chu Liang was indifferent to his position, the typically arrogant Cheng Hu decided to simply seize the Detoxifying Whip from Chu Liang.

Unfortunately for him, he didn’t know that Chu Liang was usually quite understanding about the ways of the world. Even if Chu Liang disagreed with his demands, he would at least try to dispute it politely.

The reason for his current defiant attitude? The gallant men of the Silver Sword Peak were all present!

Empress Feng was over there chatting with Xue Muyu, and noticed the old eunuch entering. She didn’t pay much attention until she saw that he was about to lay his hands on Chu Liang.

So she moved.

Boom——

Cheng Hu, being a cultivator of Great Cultivation in the Seventh Realm, had a dominating presence as he executed the Beheading Yin Scripture, radiating an intimidating aura. Watching him release his pressure, it was clear that he was trying to force Chu Liang into submission.

But Chu Liang did not blink at all.

The next moment, a ball of purple-gold flames roared down from the sky!

"Huh?" Cheng Hu got surprised, pushing both palms forward to block the fireball. With a loud blast, the exploding power of the Samadhi Divine Fire was so intense that it put him in a sorry state and instantly burned his sleeves clean.

Before he could circulate his True Qi, a burning figure had already rushed out of the flames and placed a hand on his face.

Boom Bang——

The two figures flashed and when they finally stopped, Empress Feng could be seen pressing Cheng Hu’s head onto a nearby wall with a slap. The buildings in the Regent Residence were reinforced with special formations, so they were quite solid, therefore it did not collapse.

Instead, it embedded his head into the wall!

"You old man..." Flames still flickered around Empress Feng, her eyes half-closed: "Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re a eunuch."
