You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.

Lu Shiyu pondered for a moment and then said, "Then let's find a way to get rid of Su Chenghua, and then leave Jiankang as soon as possible."

"Doesn't the gang leader think this is an opportunity?"

Shen Luoyan: "If Chen Shubao is truly being sidelined, the Hundred Industries Gang should assist him and help him regain power."

"If the country were to have a new, wise ruler, wouldn't it enjoy lasting peace and stability?"

"Heh..." Lu Shiyu chuckled lightly, "Which of these civil and military officials in the court, or even the emperor, truly cares about the common people?"

"If he's forced to relinquish power, who can guarantee he'll be a wise ruler?"

"not to mention……"

"How powerful must someone be to have stripped him of his authority in such a short time?"

"He wants to get rid of the powerful minister and reclaim power, but it's not that simple."

"Even if he were to succeed one day, what would become of the Sui Dynasty in the north?"

"The Southern Chen dynasty was already riddled with holes and rotted to the core."

"The Sui Dynasty is at its zenith, with a wise ruler and capable ministers. Sooner or later, it will crush the Chen Kingdom and unify the world!"

"Chen Shubao is destined to be a ruler who brings about the downfall of his country!"

"You, me, and the entire business community cannot be buried with him."

Shen Luoyan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "What the gang leader says makes sense."

"Chen Shubao has absolutely no hope of winning; we cannot stand on his side."

"Following the original plan, after avenging the blood feud of the people of Yunyang, we will go to the Great Sui Dynasty to seek another way of life."

Just then, the voices of a maid and Lu Zuo came from outside the door: "Young Master Chen, you've arrived."

"Hmm, where's the girl?"

He's in his bedroom.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyu went to the window and said, "I'll go first, you wait for your chance to act."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swayed, slipped out of the window, and disappeared into the courtyard.

The whole process was as fast as lightning; even Shen Luoyan didn't see his movements clearly before he disappeared.

She sat back down on the bed and waited a little while, when she heard a creak and the door was pushed open by Lu Zuo.

Shen Luoyan felt a little uncomfortable as soon as she saw him.

after all……

Yesterday in the bedroom of the Zhang residence, in order to cooperate with this tyrannical emperor's act and also to save her own life, she really shouted a lot and did many embarrassing things.

Lu Zuo closed the door, walked up to Shen Luoyan, and asked, "How is it?"

Shen Luoyan shook her head: "There is no one watching nearby."

That's good……

Lu Zuo's biggest worry was that Li Cheng'an and Shi Wenqing would send the Black-Clad Guards to monitor her and those women.

Therefore, I did not have a detailed talk with her yesterday. Instead, I arranged accommodation for her, told her to pay attention to her surroundings, and asked her to go out quietly a few times at night to see if anyone was watching her.

In hindsight, he was worrying unnecessarily.

In the eyes of those two bastards, Shen Luoyan was, after all, just a beautiful woman from the common people who had been snatched away by Zhang Youyuan.

He was only attracted to her beauty, which is why he kept her in a golden house.

There is no need for surveillance!

"Miss Shen, I can help you kill Su Chenghua."

"But before that, you have a few things to do for me."

Shen Luoyan's eyes narrowed, and she said in a low voice, "Although Su Chenghua is not well-liked, he is, after all, a member of the Su family of Qiantang."

"The guards that the Su family assigned to him were far more powerful than Yu Wanyin's guards."

"How will you help me kill him?"

Lu Zuo smiled and said, "It's simple. We'll lure away his guards and create an opportunity for you to assassinate him."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

……

Renfu.

The study was filled with the smell of alcohol. Several empty wine jars were overturned, and leftover wine spilled from the overturned jars, soaking the military books and documents scattered on the floor.

"Dead..."

"The Great Chen Dynasty is gone..."

Ren Zhong lay on the ground, his eyes cloudy, looking utterly dejected and desperate. He mumbled incoherently, "Your Majesty, this old minister has failed you..."

"Powerful and influential families are wreaking havoc on the court, and His Majesty... he is so incompetent!"

"They're favoring those two treacherous villains, Shi Wenqing and Li Chengan!"

"Even if this old minister does everything in his power, there is nothing he can do to reverse the situation..."

"The day of the fall of the Great Chen Dynasty... is fast approaching!"

Ren Zhong hates aristocratic families, hates those treacherous officials who only know how to bring disaster to the country and the people, and also hates Chen Shubao with all his might!

I thought you were just a bit lecherous...

Unexpectedly, he favored treacherous officials, neglected state affairs, and allowed those treacherous ministers to forcibly abduct women. He even committed the absurd act of a monarch humiliating his ministers.

You are not worthy to be the emperor of the Great Chen!

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Master, a young lady who claims to be surnamed Chen is requesting an audience."

She also said that her parents and the old man were old acquaintances.

"roll!"

"How many times have I told you?"

"I won't see anyone!"

Ren Zhong roared and cursed in a slightly hoarse voice, lying on the ground and laughing bitterly: "The fall of Southern Chen is just around the corner, what's the point of seeing anyone... what's the use?"

Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, and he straightened up. His surname was Chen.

Could it be the eldest princess?

"etc!"

"Please invite that person to the living room."

"Yes, sir."

……

A short while later.

After a quick wash and some tidying up, Ren Zhong slowly walked into the hall, only to freeze in place.

Not the eldest princess?

He looked at Shen Luoyan before him and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

To Lu Zuo's surprise, Shen Luoyan was also skilled in disguise, which made it even easier for her to avoid being detected and monitored.

After all, the fact that there were no Black-Clad Guards where she lived did not mean that Ren Zhong's place was necessarily safe.

The original plan to have her contact Ren Zhong through the Baiye Gang was thus changed.

We have no choice but to change it.

Shen Luoyan did not trust Lu Zuo, fearing that he was trying to lure out the experts of the Hundred Trades Gang and then wipe them all out.

He then revealed that he knew the art of disguise and had come in person.

In fact, Lu Zuo was overthinking it again. There were indeed people monitoring Ren Zhong's residence, but they were not experts like the Black-Clad Guards; they were just ordinary martial artists under Shi Wenqing.

"My name is Chen Luoyan. I have come to pay my respects to General Ren on the orders of the young master."

"Ah, General?"

"I am no longer a general."

Shen Luoyan shook her head and smiled, "My young master said that you will always be the Great Chen Zhennan General in his heart!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Zhong's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Just who is your young master?"

Shen Luoyan did not reply, but took out a jade pendant from her purse and handed it to Ren Zhong.

"This...this is...?"

"Sir, be careful what you say, for walls may have ears."

Ren Zhong raised an eyebrow. What did that mean?

Your Majesty sent someone to see me, are you afraid that those treacherous villains will see it?

and many more!

His Majesty has been... controlled by them?

.......

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Back in his study, Ren Zhong took out the long sword that had accompanied him in battle for many years, and with a clang, he drew it from its sheath, revealing a flash of cold light!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will protect the Great Chen dynasty!"
