Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 382 A Chaotic Atmosphere, Open and Covert Struggles

The eunuch who was leading the way arrived at the pavilion, approached Wang Lunzheng, and whispered:
"Father-in-law, Lord Su Muyang has arrived!"

These eunuchs were all attendants and followers that Wang Lunzheng had brought from the palace.

Despite being in the imperial palace in the capital, they were practically at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

but,

After arriving at the Suzhou Prefectural Textile Bureau, the eunuchs wielded immense power.

Wang Lun was consolidating his power and also trying to intimidate the officials at all levels in Jiangnan.

He was ruthless and ordered his eunuchs, under the guise of imperial envoys, to kill many people.

He acts without considering the consequences, is ruthless and decisive, has a violent and unpredictable personality.

not to mention,
He possessed secret imperial orders and the "Imperial Sword," which allowed him to execute first and report later, making him someone no one dared to provoke.

He shows no mercy to anyone who dares to disobey his orders.

in fact,

Wang Lun was merely a steward in the Imperial Household Department, not even a Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department. Compared to Cao Shaoqing, who was the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household Department, he was far inferior.

of course,

Since Wang Lun was a eunuch, his status was higher than that of Linghu Qiannian, who was also a steward in the inner palace.

Wang Lunzheng slightly opened his eyes, put down the opium in his hand, looked up at Su Muyang who had come to the flower pavilion, and said calmly:
"Lord Su, you've arrived. Please have a seat!"

Next,
He said to the woman beside him who was helping him loosen his bones:

"Mei'er, make tea for Lord Su!"

Su Muyang nodded without saying anything more and sat down on the chair next to him.

The woman called 'Mei'er' stood up and began to pour tea.

After a while,
She handed the tea to Su Muyang and said with a smile:
"Lord Su, this is the finest jasmine tea, please—!"

Su Muyang looked up at the woman named 'Mei'er'.

hiss--!
The next moment, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes shining.

Mei'er was wearing an exquisite silk suit, and her jet-black hair was tied up high.

A silver hairpin secured her hair, and a strand of black hair fell from either side of her earlobe, fluttering in the wind.

Her skin was fair and flawless, simply impeccable.

A pair of beautiful eyes, clear and dark, like a spring in the deep mountains.

"Pretty!"

Even though Su Muyang was well-traveled and had seen many beautiful women from all over Jiangnan, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw Mei'er's face.

but,

Soon, Su Muyang noticed something strange: a blush appeared on 'Mei'er's' face.

It's like your blood flow has accelerated, as if you've just experienced something stimulating.

She exuded a scent that was hard to describe, and it gave people a feeling of blood rushing to their heads.

Damn it——!
What does this woman do?
I don't think I saw her last time I was here?
How can there be such a wonderful person in the world?
Wang Lun, who was standing nearby, noticed Su Muyang's lecherous expression and chuckled, saying:

"Lord Su, this tea was brewed by Mei'er herself, please drink it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Muyang finally came to his senses.

He quickly took the jasmine tea that Mei'er handed him with both hands and took a small sip.

Delicious—it's fucking delicious!

It's not about drinking tea, but about experiencing a feeling.

A beautiful woman brews tea, and its fragrance travels far and wide!

Su Muyang was completely immersed in this irresistible feeling.

Mei'er looked up at Su Muyang, a disdainful smile on her face.

Next,
She stood up, turned around, and left the pavilion.

If Chen Jie were here, he would easily feel the influence of "Charm Technique".

Unfortunately, Su Muyang was only the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture. Once he was under the influence of the "Charm Technique," he was unlikely to regain his senses easily.

Fortunately, Mei'er stopped practicing after leaving, otherwise Su Muyang would have become completely obsessed.

Mei'er's mastery of "Charm Technique" is extremely high, even comparable to Ruan Qingzhu's.

After she left, Su Muyang finally came to his senses.

"hiss--!"

Su Muyang couldn't help but take a deep breath, only then realizing what was wrong with him.
How could I have seen a woman in this state?

This woman's appearance and figure are absolutely stunning; she's incredibly beautiful.

How could Wang Lunzheng, a eunuch, have such a beautiful woman by his side?

Is there any justice in the world?

Isn't this a terrible waste? Can he even do it?
For a moment, Su Muyang couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Such a beautiful woman was taken by a eunuch.

It’s hard to calm down!

Su Muyang felt a tightness in his chest.

The thought that such a charming and beautiful woman was with a eunuch made it impossible for him to remain calm.
Such a beautiful woman should be with me!
well--!
Su Muyang sighed deeply, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Wang Lun was looking at Su Muyang with a sidelong glance and said:

"Lord Su, what brings you here?"

Since he started smoking opium, Wang Lunzheng felt that his mental state was very good.

He was smoking opium just now, and being disturbed naturally made him a little unhappy.

Clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Su Muyang remembered the purpose of his visit and quickly said:
“Eunuch Wang, I have come here because Ximen Tang’s troops have arrived in Suzhou Prefecture.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lun frowned slightly and said:

"So fast? What's Ximentang doing in Suzhou? Aren't they in Nanjing?"

Su Muyang explained:

Five days ago, Xu Shichang, the Minister of War, requested Ximentang to send troops to support Suzhou.

"Xi Mentang's troops arrived outside Suzhou City and routed the 5,000-strong vanguard of the rebel army that was attacking the city."

"I have already given the order to have Ximen Tang's troops stationed ten kilometers outside Suzhou Prefecture."

"However, this is certainly not a long-term solution. I believe that the most urgent task is to let them into the city."

"Otherwise, if we offend Ximentang, we'll be in big trouble!"

Wang Lun scoffed dismissively and said in a deep voice:
"What's the big deal? It's just Ximen Tang."

"Chen Jie, the commander of Ximen Hall, is the governor of Shandong. Even if he garrisoned troops in Nanjing, he couldn't do anything to our Textile Bureau."

"Don't forget, I am an imperial envoy, in charge of the entire textile bureau, and I pay a large amount of silver dollars to the court every year."

"Besides, although Suzhou was attacked by the rebels, isn't the city currently in good condition?"

“The people in Ximen Hall are all from the martial arts world. They are used to being free and undisciplined, and they are difficult to manage.”

"If we let them into the city and they turn Suzhou into a mess, with the people complaining bitterly, how will we explain this to our superiors?"

Upon hearing this, Su Muyang frowned slightly.

He whispered:

"But—Ximentang is no ordinary army. Chen Jie is not only the Governor-General of Shandong, but also the Prince Consort!"

"In addition, Lord Xu Shichang's letter has arrived. Ximen Hall is here to rescue our Suzhou Prefecture."

"After they enter the city, they shouldn't burn, kill, loot, or act lawlessly."

Wang Lunzheng couldn't help but snort again, curling his lip and saying disdainfully:

"So what if Xu Shichang's document arrives?"

"At this time, with war and chaos, who can guarantee that the army won't cause trouble after entering the city?"

“We can’t control other places, but in Suzhou Prefecture, as long as our Weaving Bureau still exists, I, Wang Lunzheng, will not allow anyone to act recklessly!”

"If this affects the imperial tribute and causes losses to the Textile Bureau, who can bear the responsibility?"

"Lord Su, I think—you should know what to do, right?"

Su Muyang took a deep breath and bowed his head, saying, "Yes, Eunuch Wang, this official understands!"

I don't understand a thing.

Su Muyang felt extremely frustrated. As the prefect of Suzhou, he was unable to control the entire prefecture. How could he not feel frustrated?
Why did Eunuch Wang refuse to let Ximentang enter the city?

Did Ximen Tang offend this eunuch? Or did Ximen Tang affect Eunuch Wang's interests?

No, it should be said that it affected the interests of the factions behind Eunuch Wang.
Why did he deliberately prevent Ximentang from entering Suzhou Prefecture?

To know,
Meng Hu led the Ximen Hall's army and stationed them outside the city, but he had already informed them.

If the city gates of Suzhou Prefecture are not opened, Xi Mentang will not be allowed to enter the city.

Then,

In the coming days, Ximentang will leave Suzhou and return to Jinling.

The rebel army is now at the city gates, and 50,000 troops have set out from Hangzhou and are on their way to Suzhou.

At this time, Ximentang withdrew his troops back to Jinling City. So, could Suzhou Prefecture withstand the rebel army's attack?

After thinking for a moment, Su Muyang couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, the rebel army of 50,000 is almost here. With the defensive strength of Suzhou City, we can't stop them!"

"If we don't let Ximentang into the city now, what if they withdraw their troops and leave Suzhou Prefecture? What will we do then?"

"Before this, we asked Lord Xu Shichang in Jinling for help, hoping that Ximentang could help Suzhou Prefecture stop the rebels!"

"Lord Guan Qilin's army has already withdrawn from Jinling. If the rebels attack Suzhou Prefecture, without Ximen Tang's assistance in defending the city, our entire Suzhou City will be in imminent danger!"

Wang Lun frowned slightly, then stood up from the wooden chair and said in a harsh voice:
"If he dares to retreat, I dare to impeach him in court!"

"The reason why Ximentang was able to develop so quickly is because it received support from the Sixth Prince's faction."

"Once Suzhou falls, Xu Shichang will lose his official position, which will have a huge impact on the Sixth Prince's faction, and even the Emperor will suffer heavy losses."

“I don’t believe Ximentang would dare to withdraw his troops unless they dare to disregard the Emperor’s secret order.”

"Furthermore, even if Ximen Tang really withdraws his troops back to Jinling, don't we still have several thousand troops stationed in Suzhou Prefecture?"

"Suzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the garrison of Suzhou Prefecture, it should be no problem to hold it for a few days."

"The most urgent matter is that Ximen Tang absolutely cannot enter the city, I'm telling you—!"

At this point, Wang Lunzheng's tone became very serious.

Upon hearing this, Su Muyang felt annoyed and wanted to curse.

Ximentang was not under the Ministry of War of the Great Qian Dynasty, and Chen Jie, as the Governor-General of Shandong, never attended court.

Even at this point, Wang Lun was still thinking about the power struggles between various factions within the capital.

Once the rebels capture Suzhou Prefecture, it will be Su Muyang who loses his official position.

Could the several thousand troops stationed in Suzhou withstand the rebel attack?

The rebel army has gathered 50,000 troops. Once they arrive in Suzhou, all the garrison troops in the city will probably have to flee in panic.

If Suzhou is occupied by the rebels, Xu Shichang will be held responsible, and Su Muyang will also be in big trouble.

but,

Wang Lunzheng, the head of the Suzhou Textile Bureau, did not have to bear any responsibility.

He can simply return to the capital and remain the Grand Steward.

Over the years, he has amassed enough wealth to rival that of a nation.

Thinking of this, Su Muyang had no choice but to plead:

"Eunuch Wang, Ximen Hall is the key to whether we can stop the rebels. Please think it over!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lunzheng felt somewhat displeased.

He snorted coldly and said:

"Alright! No need to say any more. In short, Ximen Tang's army is not allowed to enter Suzhou Prefecture."

"Go and negotiate with the person in charge of Ximentang. You are the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture."

“Su Muyang, you are a smart man, I believe you should be able to see the current situation clearly.”

finished,

He waved his hand, continued to lie on the chair in the pavilion, lit a pipe, took a puff, and said, "Let's go back!"

Su Muyang wanted to say a few more words.

but,

When he saw Eunuch Wang lie down and start smoking opium, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

well--!
Next,
He sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave the pavilion.

What needs to be said, he has already said.

Continuing to persuade them will have no effect and will only bring shame upon themselves.

As he left Jasmine Garden, Su Muyang turned and glanced around.

When he saw Wang Lun smoking opium and ignoring him, he felt increasingly bitter.

After leaving the mansion, Su Muyang sat in the sedan chair and said with a deep gaze:

"Come on, let's go back!"

At that moment, he cursed every single faction fighting within the capital.

The Great Qian Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, yet they are still thinking about how to maximize their own interests.

Are we really going to wait until Suzhou Prefecture is occupied by the rebels and the entire Daqian Dynasty is overthrown before we can come up with a solution?

The rise of eunuchs to power was destined to plunge the Great Qian Dynasty into utter ruin.

because,

Eunuchs have no descendants; they only think about immediate gains and never consider the future.

After Su Muyang left the garden

Mei'er changed her clothes in a nearby house and returned to Wang Lunzheng's side.

Seeing that Wang Lun was still smoking opium, she knelt down slightly, massaged his legs, and smiled calmly:

"Father-in-law, has Lord Su already left?"

Wang Lun opened his eyes, put down the opium pipe, grabbed Mei'er, and said with shining eyes:
"Mei'er, don't worry. He's just the prefect of Suzhou. Dealing with him is a piece of cake."

"Come here, let me massage your body, let me pamper you a little more."

finished,

Wang Lun was seen swinging his arms out to the left and right, his eyes gleaming green.

this moment,
He turned into a lapdog, drooling as if he were about to fall.

He was a eunuch and had long lost his sexual ability.

but,

Mei'er, who had mastered the true essence of the "Charming Techniques," was able to help Eunuch Wang understand the true meaning of life.

That's right,

She had the ability to make a father-in-law completely submit to her.

This shows that Mei'er's mastery of "Charm Technique" is extremely high.

Mei'er held Eunuch Wang's hand, hiding it inside her dress, and said with a smile:

"Father-in-law, do you think Su Muyang will let Ximentang's men into Suzhou City?"

Her voice seemed to possess a magical power, making Grandpa Wang tremble in his heart.

His hands on Mei'er's body felt like they were being electrocuted.

This unusual stimulation made him feel his blood rushing to his brain.

hiss--!
The next moment, he began to shake and knead his hands, saying:
"Su Muyang doesn't have the guts. Don't worry, I know this guy's personality very well."

“He cares more about his official position than anyone else, and I have dirt on him.”

“He dared to disobey my orders, I’ll make him regret it.”

"Moreover, I have people by his side, so he would never dare to let Ximen Tang's men into the city."

"Come on, Mei'er, let me 'die' again, please, just kill me!"

As he spoke, Grandpa Wang tossed his coat aside.

Upon hearing this, Mei'er's smile widened even more.

She didn't stop Grandpa Wang's actions, but instead cooperated by saying in a coquettish voice:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we already do something about it before?"

"You still want more? Look at how impatient you are, there are servants around."

Grandpa Wang's demeanor changed suddenly, and he became like a wild beast.

He grabbed Mei'er frantically, his eyes gleaming with a wild light, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

"Where is anyone around? Everyone else has already left the 100-meter radius."

"Mei'er, you are the guiding light in my life, the meaning of my existence."

"I thought I would never be able to enjoy the dignity of a man again in my life."

"You made me a man, you gave me a new life, I'm willing to die for you!"

"Kill me! Quickly, Mei'er, please, kill me—!"

this moment,
Eunuch Wang's eyes were glazed over, and he was completely immersed in the seductive charm, unable to extricate himself.

in fact,

Eunuch Wang's martial arts skills are quite high; he has already broken through to the 'Great Perfection of Marrow Transformation and Energy Transformation' realm, which is even higher than Linghu Qiannian's martial arts skills.

unfortunately,

His life was ruined; his mind had been twisted many years ago.

After arriving in Suzhou Prefecture, he became the head of the Textile Bureau.

With power firmly in his grasp, Eunuch Wang became increasingly ruthless and vicious, eliminating any dissidents.

In a very short time, he firmly grasped the power of all factions in Suzhou Prefecture.

It has to be said, that's his skill.

When Mei'er came into his life, she helped him understand the true meaning of life.

He really was willing to die for Mei'er, I'm not kidding!

right now,

He wanted to make up for the fifty years he lost after being castrated by Mei'er!
Therefore, he would grant any request Mei'er made, sparing no expense to fulfill it. (End of Chapter)
