In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 211 The Three Regents
On the west side of Ziwei City, on the banks of the Luo River, lies Shangyang Palace.

The palaces are luxurious and the scenery is beautiful, making it a veritable paradise on earth.

Stretching outside the imperial city, the people of Luoyang could see a corner of this fairyland from afar.

The palace contains numerous halls and towers, from which one can observe the customs and folkways of the people in the capital city, and view the misty willows along the Luo River and the myriad boats on the river.

The imperial concubines and princesses often enjoyed themselves there.

In a corner of the palace, a white figure flashed and climbed up a tall building at an extremely fast speed.

Upon reaching the rooftop, there was a small, long-haired dog, barely bigger than the palm of my hand.

The long-haired puppy climbed onto the viewing platform, stood upright, and stretched its neck, seemingly trying its best to see the distant scenery clearly.

"Lion slave! Lion slave!"

"Where are you, Lion Slave?"

At a call, the long-haired puppy's round, dark eyes revealed a deep anxiety in a surprisingly human-like way.

It tried to run, but it was too late.

A figure flashed out from the stairwell.

Upon seeing the puppy, he immediately took two steps forward and scooped it into his arms.

"Lion Slave, why are you running around again?"

The newcomer was a young woman dressed in magnificent palace attire, with exquisite beauty and an air of nobility.

The long-haired puppy was held tightly against a rather large chest, and for a moment its eyes seemed to glaze over.

She immediately regained her senses and two tears streamed down her face.

"Oh, Lion Slave, why are you crying?"

Why am I crying?

If I can't get out of here, I'll kill myself!

Chen Lingguan was on the verge of collapse.

He originally thought that he wouldn't get a chance to enter the Tower of Heaven this time, but his father wouldn't let Chen Jinxin in. He had finally managed to get this opportunity.

Upon entering, I was reborn as a beast!
A pug!
After awakening his spiritual consciousness, he felt as if the sky had collapsed!

It wasn't until yesterday, when he saw the news on Baishitong and the Reincarnation Ranking, that he realized that the Prince Jing, whom all the civil and military officials, concubines and princesses in the harem looked down on and ridiculed, was actually Xie Lingxin!
The despair of being reduced to a beast made him disregard his pride.

I just want to find him as soon as possible and pull myself out of this quagmire of despair!

I had heard that he was going into the city today.

He panicked immediately and found an opportunity to run up the tall building to see if he had arrived.

Who knew he would be arrested so quickly?

hateful!

"Ninth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, Fifteenth Brother!"

"Why are you all here? And all together?"

The woman in palace attire watched as three elegantly dressed men walked up to the viewing tower.

Chen Lingguan, the lapdog, immediately curled up in the arms of the woman in palace attire.

None of these three people are good people.

The three regents of the Great Zhou Dynasty were the ninth son of the Great Zhou Empress, Prince Dai, Wu Chengguang; the fourteenth son, Prince Xiang, Wu Chengxu; and the fifteenth son, Prince Ying, Wu Chengzhe.

Although they look only in their twenties or thirties, they are all over sixty years old.

His cultivation level was unfathomable, and his scheming and cunning were even more unfathomable.

If I show even the slightest abnormality in front of them, they might notice.

The Tower of Heaven and the Wheel of Reincarnation were both created by that empress.

Who knows if they have any way of knowing that they were "reincarnated" with their memories intact?

Even his current master—the Empress's eldest daughter, Princess Yan'an of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Qianjin.

He's not an ordinary person either.

Fortunately, the empress had many sons but only two daughters, both of whom were born during her seclusion.

This princess was born late and is only in her early twenties now, so her abilities are limited.

"I heard that our little nephew returned to the capital today. Since I had just finished court and had nothing else to do, I came to visit."

Prince Wu Chengguang smiled meaningfully.

"My little nephew?"

Princess Yan'an paused slightly, then after a moment of recollection, she realized, "Ninth Brother is referring to Prince Jing?"

"Chi~"

Prince Xiang, Wu Chengxu, chuckled softly: "Prince Jing?"

Although he didn't say anything, his contempt was evident.

Wu Chengguang walked to the viewing corridor and looked into the distance.

From here, one can see the entire capital city in the distance.

The people at the city gate were just blurry black dots, like ants.

But in their eyes, it was crystal clear.

He laughed and said, "Sister, whether he is Prince Jing or not depends on whether he survives today."

"what?"

Princess Yan'an was startled: "What do you mean?"

Wu Chengguang pointed to another direction, where the Ziwei Palace was located, along with the Lung Stone and the Dengwen Drum.

Qiao Da, along with hundreds of river workers, continues to recount the crimes of the Shence Army every day.

But now, the Shence Army is already hiding in the shadows all around.

They're just waiting for the right moment to make their arrest.

"Having caused such a commotion, how could Wang Shoucheng let him off the hook?"

Princess Yan'an also walked onto the viewing corridor and looked towards the city gate.

With her eyesight, she could see it a little blurry, but she could still make out what it was.

Sure enough, some soldiers could be vaguely seen lying in ambush at each of the city gates.

He couldn't help but feel angry: "This Wang Shoucheng is far too arrogant! He actually dares to privately mobilize the Shence Army in the capital!"

"Ninth Brother, how could you allow him to be so insolent!"

The Prince of Dai shook his head: "Wang Shoucheng's power is too great. Now is not the time to clash with him."

The eldest princess glanced at her two other brothers, who clearly shared the same attitude.

He couldn't help but say angrily, "You're acting as regents like this? And Li Rui is... a descendant of Princess Taiping, yet you're letting that eunuch harm him like this? I wonder how you'll explain this when the Emperor comes out of seclusion!"

The three kings simply smiled.

This person's sister is still too young.

If it weren't for the sage secretly turning a blind eye, how could the court be in its current state?
As for Li Rui...

If a sage truly cared, he wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

While several people were talking.

Chen Lingguan, the lapdog, was already getting anxious.

Wang Shoucheng?
Shence Army?
Is this going to be detrimental to him?
it's over... it's over...

Having been a pet in the palace for quite some time, he had heard many secrets and knew how powerful the Shence Army was.

Even a lowly soldier possesses the strength of a second or third-level physical body.

There are plenty of generals with the rank of fifth or sixth. That Wang Shoucheng is not only the chief eunuch, but also the Grand General of the Divine Strategy Army and the Privy Councilor, holding military power in his hands.

Although he was a eunuch, he was said to be at least a Grandmaster in cultivation.

Xie Lingxin is such an idiot!
How dare you mess with someone like that?

Despite the criticism, he still quickly contacted Baishitong.

Upon hearing the news, in his haste, he completely forgot that he could contact Baishitong (a popular online information platform).

He quickly found the name he had hidden in the online information platform, a name he was reluctant to touch, and sent two messages.

……

Beneath the city gate of the capital city.

"Amitabha……"

A golden wall of energy appeared out of thin air in front of Xie Lingxin's carriage, blocking several elite Divine Strategy cavalrymen.

Tian Quancao, the commander of the Shence Army who personally led the troops, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this situation.

We rode slowly forward.

"Buddhist Qi?"

"Which eminent monk has arrived?"

"Amitabha……"

An old monk slowly emerged from the crowd watching from afar.

He had a white beard and white eyebrows, but his face was as full as a full moon, with a rosy and radiant glow.

"This humble monk, Ruman, greets the benefactor."

He walked slowly and casually, but he blocked Xie Lingxin's carriage.

"Zen Buddhism...like perfection!"

Tian Quancao's eyes narrowed, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

"Old monk, how dare you stop my Shence Army?"

He clasped his hands in prayer, bowed his head, and remained silent.

Their attitude was quite clear.

……

"Ruman? A high-ranking Zen monk..."

On the viewing tower of Shangyang Palace.

Wu Chengguang and the others frowned.

Wu Chengxu said angrily, "These bald monks, after all these years, they still cling to that little bit of affection for the Li family. They are simply stubborn and incorrigible!"

Wu Chengzhe pondered, "This is like Monk Man, who had close ties with literary figures such as Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi, and together with them they were known as the Nine Elders of Xiangshan. They often went out together, and advanced and retreated together."

"Since he is here... it seems that all nine elders of Xiangshan have come out of seclusion."

Wu Chengxu angrily said, "A few idle scholars dare to meddle in court affairs? Have they been living too long in idleness?"

Wu Chengzhe shook his head: "Fourteenth Brother, don't underestimate the Nine Elders of Xiangshan. They are highly respected among scholars."

"Apart from Bailu Cliff in Sichuan, there are probably few who can compare to them,"

“If they openly support Li Rui, Wang Shoucheng might not be able to touch him.”

Wu Chengxu scoffed, "I refuse to believe that a few old fogies can turn the world upside down."

Although he said that, he actually knew that these nine elders were not easy to mess with.

There's nothing we can do; its reputation is just too great.

Wu Chengguang frowned: "These nine elders have lived a simple life since retiring from court, finding solace in nature."

"If it's just because of Ruman that he fell, but if others also had their own ambitions, it could cause quite a stir."

The group of people all tensed up.

The reason why the Nine Elders of Xiangshan could stand up for Li Rui was either because Ru Man came from the Chan sect, or because they had no other choice but to do so.

The Li family bloodline...

Even now, there are still stubborn individuals in literary families who cling to the past.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was founded with Emperor Taizong's benevolence and power extending to all corners of the land and reaching out to foreign tribes.

There are many who remember the kindness shown to the Li family.

Even if a sage repeatedly wields the butcher's knife, causing rivers of blood to flow, such people will still be impossible to eradicate.

We can suppress it now, but if these people are given hope, they will definitely come out.

This Li Rui is the biggest threat!

Those river workers beat the petition drum, but no one has taken any action yet.

The ministers in the court are still observing.

Unless Li Rui is truly a useless person.

If Li Rui's performance gives them even a glimmer of hope, someone will definitely step in.

In the princess's arms, the lapdog Chen Lingguan listened with increasing urgency.

Why hasn't that guy replied yet?

I couldn't help but send a few more messages.

……

The city gate.

While in the car.

"Ding dong~"

"Ding dong~"

……

A series of sounds echoed in Xie Ling's mind.

He initially didn't want to pay attention to it, but it just wouldn't end.

I could only take a quick look.

Chen Lingguan: Waaah~ Brother! Save me~!

Chen Lingguan: There's danger!
Chen Lingguan: Run!

Chen Lingguan: The Shence Army is going to take you down!

Chen Lingguan: The Prince of Dai and his men want you dead!
……

"..."

There were seven or eight messages in a row, all sent by Chen Lingguan.

This kid actually got in too?
Xie Lingxin was a little surprised.

But why does every message I receive tell me to run away?

Is this kid trying to help me, or is he my jinx, my harbinger of doom...?

"Those above the innate realm must not interfere in mortal affairs!"

Tian Quancao, perched high on his horse, said coldly, "These are the rules personally established by the Sage. Do you intend to disobey them?"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the realm above the sixth level of martial arts is the Innate Realm.

This is no longer a realm for ordinary people.

His face showed a bitter expression: "Amitabha, this humble monk dares not. I hope the benefactor will not act rashly, and this humble monk will naturally retreat."
