Emperor Yang Hong immediately showed his concern for the minister he valued most.
Shen Xudong saw this scene from the side and frowned slightly.
Huangfu Wuji is the God of War. Just kidding, how could he be in poor health?
If he didn't want to be present because of the rumors in the Imperial Capital yesterday, it would be even more impossible. He is not a mentally fragile person.
There is probably something fishy about this matter.
After the whole day's competition was over, Emperor Yang Hong went to Huangfu's house.
Over the years, he has always attached great importance to the God of War and regarded him as his right-hand man. When he fell ill, he naturally wanted to show his benevolent side.
After returning from Huangfu's house, Emperor Yang Hong was furious and immediately summoned the imperial preceptor, the prince and others.
"This martial arts competition is to select a prince-in-law for my royal family. It is not an occasion for his heavenly disciples to provoke trouble!"
"Rumors are spreading all over the city now, and a large number of killers from heaven have sneaked into Luoyang. What do they want to do? Isn't this Kyushu my country?"
Emperor Yang Hong didn't know what he heard from Huangfu Wuji, and he was angry with Gu Chen. Many officials looked at each other after hearing this.
"Before the finals start, find a reason to eliminate Gu Chen!"
Emperor Yang Hong quickly gave the order.
"Father, think twice!"
When Prince Ji Zefang heard this, his expression changed and he quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Your Majesty, if there are no rules, then it would be inappropriate to eliminate Gu Chen rashly, right?"
Shen Xudong also hesitated.
As for the other ministers, they all remained silent, their eyes flickering.
They smelled intrigue from this, and I am afraid that there is a fierce game between several big forces hidden in this matter...
Those people are beyond the reach of ordinary officials like them, so the best option is to remain silent.
"I have made up my mind! Master Shen, all the results of the competitions in the five major competition areas will be announced tomorrow. Please find a suitable excuse to eliminate Gu Chen, and don't let him spoil the good competition to recruit a bride again!"
Emperor Yang Hong said this and walked away, leaving the prince with an ugly expression.
Immediately, Prince Ji Zefang left the palace and came to Gu Chen's residence!
Throughout the whole day, Gu Chen did not go to watch the game. Instead, he practiced quietly in his residence, adjusted his condition, and prepared for the next finals.
When the prince came to visit and informed him that the emperor intended to eliminate him from the finals, Gu Chen's expression darkened for a moment!
The prince intends to cooperate with the Heavenly Court. Gu Chen has been honest with him a few days ago, and the two parties have officially joined forces to suppress the Huangfu family.
Everything was planned by Gu Chen, and participating in the finals against Huangfu Qingming was a crucial part.
He never expected that Huangfu Wuji would be so cautious, not even giving him a chance to participate in the finals, and encouraging Emperor Yang Hong to eliminate him!
This incident deviated from his plan and made him feel very bad for a while.
When he asked people to reveal the dark side of the Huangfu family to the public, the competition for marriage had changed and turned into a game between heaven and the Huangfu family.
But now he is defeated without fighting, which is a huge blow to him!
"Boy, what's going on, are you having a problem?"
When Gu Chen and the prince were discussing what to do and were unable to do anything, the Qinglin Killer God appeared.
Gu Chen nodded heavily.
"The Emperor of Heaven has already anticipated that things will not go so smoothly and has sent foreign aid for you."
Qinglin Killer God smiled.
"Foreign aid? Who is it?"
Gu Chen was stunned.
"Come out."
After Qinglin Killer God finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside the courtyard.
This man wears a strange mask with long black and white lines distributed vertically and horizontally on the mask, and he is wearing a robe belonging to the Taoist Master of Heaven!
"Jiang Yige?"
Gu Chen looked at the other party in surprise. The other party was clearly dressed as a Taoist from Heaven. He had seen the other two Taoists, but he had never seen the missing Jiang Yige!
"Brother Gu, I have long admired you. I heard that you have put in a lot of effort to find me, and even vented your anger to the Hades Palace for me. Thank you very much."
Jiang Yige took the initiative to offer his hand, quite enthusiastically.
"Why are you here? Aren't you missing?"
Gu Chen said in surprise.
"The reason why I disappeared some time ago was that I was plotted against by Jialan, the God of Hades, and needed to recover. After that, I found an important clue about the Palace of Hades and followed it all the way, so I lost contact."
Jiang Yige explained.
Gu Chen wasn't too interested in what happened to him and went straight to the point. "How can you help me in this situation?"
Jiang Yige smiled slightly and said, "Emperor Yang Hong doesn't want you to participate. Actually, he is afraid that the Heavenly Court will fight with the Huangfu family and endanger his royal interests."
The prince next to him looked slightly embarrassed when he saw Jiang Yige speaking so directly.
"The solution is actually very simple. Brother Gu, you have already done half of it."
Jiang Yige has something to say.
"What does Brother Jiang mean?" Gu Chen frowned slightly.
"Brother Gu spreads the secrets of the Huangfu family everywhere, with the purpose of isolating the Huangfu family, right? We will go one step further on this basis and let all major forces support you in the war!"
Gu Chen looked thoughtful, "The information I spread may make the major forces a little afraid of the Huangfu family, but it is impossible for them to side with me and offend the Huangfu family."
Gu Chen's information came from many sources, some from heaven, and some from Ji Lanchu. It is precisely because this information is true that the image of the Huangfu family has plummeted.
But that's all. At most, the major forces will be afraid of the Huangfu family, and they can't stand on their side for this.
If they are willing to stand on their side, it may not be impossible to uproot the Huangfu family this time!
"I have more important information here, which is enough to make all the major forces have murderous intentions towards the Huangfu family!"
Jiang Yige's words are astonishing.
"What kind of information is it?" Gu Chen was surprised.
"There is a secret cooperation between Hades Palace and Huangquan Tower. Their relationship is extraordinary!"
As soon as Jiang Yige spoke, the expressions of Gu Chen and the prince changed.
The Hades Palace and Huangquan Tower are both one of the three major dark forces in the mainland, and their strength is comparable. If these two organizations join forces, they will rule two-thirds of the dark world!
If that were the case, to what extent would Huangfu Wuji's power expand?
Such explosive news is enough to make all the major forces in Kyushu feel terrified!
"Is this definitely true? Is there any evidence?"
Gu Chen took a deep breath.
"Previously, I have been investigating the disappearance cases of people with special physiques across the mainland. I discovered this during the investigation."
"The Underworld Palace and Huangquan Tower have always cooperated behind the scenes. Both parties work together to capture people with special physiques, even if the target is some elite disciples of certain sects."
