Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

puff!

After Granny Meng finished drinking, she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Luckily, Chen Shao dodged quickly, otherwise he would have gotten it all over his face.

After vomiting blood, his hair, beard, eyebrows, and nose hair began to grow wildly like weeds.

This bottle contains mushroom spore powder, along with human hair ash, nail ash, and snake slough ash, which are then slowly steamed over a low flame for three days and three nights...

Chen Shao felt nauseous and didn't drink it; he didn't need to drink it either.

The wildly growing hair nearly suffocated Granny Meng.

"Quickly summon the imperial physician!"

Chen Shao's urgent voice echoed throughout the palace.

How could he not be anxious? These will all be his soldiers in the future, even if they are abnormal.

......

Over the next few days, the poster lamented and then rekindled their hopes, only to lament again.

After the arrival of the number one swordsman in the world, the lord, having learned from the previous experience, dared not host a banquet. To show respect, he had his subordinates wash the swordsman's clothes.

Fine, he'll wash it then. But they even took the breastplate that he'd been secretly hiding on his body and hung it out to dry. He went to the palace, only to be sent back by Chen Shao with a cup thrown at him.

He almost died.

The number one Taoist priest in the world encountered Chen Shao, who had triggered the [Ninja] effect, and searched for him in the main hall for three days and three nights.

Finally, Chen Shao suddenly appeared behind him, and he fainted from fright.

......

It was a fine Longjing tea, but it tasted bland to the host at that moment.

He stayed there for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou got a permanent position and was given a government job. It sounds nice, but in reality, he felt nothing but bitterness.

"Prepare an incense table; I need to bathe and change my clothes."

"Pass down the order: the entire building must be tidied up and follow me into the palace."

"From this day forward, the Golden Wind and Drizzle Pavilion is no longer an assassin organization."

Chen Shao was quite generous to Jin Feng Xi Yu Lou.

Inside the Imperial Study, Ximen Gucheng was specially appointed as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a fourth-rank official.

They were specifically responsible for special duties outside of the Northern Garrison Command's prison.

He was directly under the command of Bai Bingbing, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The remaining assassins were assigned titles such as centurion, captain, and junior officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard according to their abilities and specialties.

Specializing in assassination, infiltration, and intelligence gathering.

Finally, Chen Shao specifically left Ximen Gucheng behind.

Bai Bingbing was asked to bring over the dossier of Han Wei, the military governor of Jiannan.

It contains information about Han Wei's troop deployment, food reserves, his network of relationships with local powerful families, and the power struggles among his sons.

"Han Wei, the military governor of Jiannan, relied on the natural barrier of the Shu Road and did not take the imperial court seriously."

"The first thing Xiyulou did after the merger was to go to Jiannan and kill Han Wei."

"After killing Han Wei, he instigated his sons to fight for power and profit."

Three more days passed.

Bai Bingbing suddenly came to report.

A look of horror.

"Your Majesty, something happened to aluminum cloth at Qingyun Temple."

Chen Shao was taken aback: "This scoundrel, he caused trouble while drunk? It's not a big deal, why are you so panicked?"

Bai Bingbing pursed her lips.

"Aluminum cloth quit drinking a long time ago, it's not for beating people up."

"He ravaged all the monks at Qingyun Temple!"

"Ho ho? How so?"

Bai Bingbing's expression was strange, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Several times the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't bring myself to say them.

Finally, he said helplessly:

"Your Majesty should go and see for yourself."

This sight certainly whetted Chen Shao's appetite.

He calculated the days and realized that Lü Bu had been gone for almost half a month.

With that "lustful to death" trait, after holding back for so long, suddenly taking him to a brothel should trigger "bowing down in worship," right?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Shao led the Imperial Guards out of the palace in disguise and headed straight for Qingyun Temple.

...

Qingyun Temple is the largest temple in Beijing.

However, during the Qing'an reign, Taoist priests were the most worshipped, and the temples did not see much incense offering.

Even the largest temple is not always bustling with visitors.

As soon as I entered the temple, I saw several young novices running away while covering their bottoms.

Chen Shao found it increasingly strange.

They look like they're constipated.

Monks who eat vegetarian food, with plenty of vegetables, rarely suffer from constipation or hemorrhoids.

Are they secretly eating meat without telling outsiders?

Or is this place actually a breeding ground for filth and evil?

Chen Shao gave a signal, and Bai Bingbing immediately grabbed someone.

"What's going on? Why are you all in such a panic? Aren't you even going to greet the worshippers?"

The young novice monk didn't want to pay attention to them, but Bai Bingbing directly revealed her identity.

He knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, you've finally arrived."

"That aluminum cloth that took your place as a monk... was really too fierce."

"After the aluminum cloth arrived, he was relatively well-behaved at first, doing the morning and evening prayers every day. Although he banged the wooden fish terribly and recited the scriptures out of tune, at least he was willing to learn."

"But a few days ago, the abbot asked him to come to the front courtyard to greet guests, and after he went back, he seemed like a completely different person..."

"What do you mean that this wouldn't be considered disobeying His Majesty's decree?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shao nodded slightly.

The aluminum cloth is quite obedient, which is good.

"And then...and then all his fellow disciples who shared a room with him suffered the consequences."

"How exactly will I suffer?"

The young novice monk answered tremblingly:

"Yes... the autumn wind sweeps south..."

"Damn, you're playing riddles with me?" Chen Shaozheng was about to ask.

Bai Bingbing tugged at him and pointed to the mountain south of the temple.

Chen Shao looked up and saw that golden chrysanthemums were blooming beautifully, covering the entire mountain.

"Oh, I see!!!"

Chen Shao suddenly realized.

He was immediately left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

No wonder Aluminum Cloth said this wasn't disobeying the imperial decree; yes, he wasn't allowed to touch women.

He's fucking...

Chen Shao sighed weakly, rubbing his forehead.

He glared at the young novice monk, "You lot are really something, so many people, and you were all defeated by just one person..."

"It's really like Cao Pi's wife entering the vegetable garden!"

Bai Bingbing: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Zhen Ji pulling vegetables!"

...

Deep inside the disciplinary hall, Aluminum Cloth had been knocked unconscious by the elders and lay there.

The abbot shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, Qingyun Temple already had few monks. Now, some have run away, some have fled, and even chanting sutras requires groups of three to five people."

"If you, benefactor aluminum, continue to stay here, I'm afraid the incense at Qingyun Temple will eventually go out."

Chen Shao clasped his hands together in apology.

"Abbot, rest assured, I will fully compensate you for the losses suffered by Qingyun Temple."

"Anyone who has been harmed can go to the Ministry of Revenue to receive a sum of money for mental distress."

The abbot complained again, but Chen Shao managed to coax them away.

Then he personally fetched a basin of water and poured it over his head.

Aluminum Cloth opened his eyes groggily, about to curse that bastard for daring to splash his grandfather, but when he saw that it was Chen Shao, he shuddered.

With a sudden burst of internal strength, the thick hemp ropes binding his body snapped off like rotten straw ropes.

He jumped up and knelt down in front of Chen Shao.

"Long live the Holy Emperor! Long live the Holy Emperor!"

Chen Shao stood with his hands behind his back, his face ashen, looking down at the bald head.

He muttered to himself, "This guy's gone bald, and he seems even stronger now."

He snorted coldly:

"Aluminum cloth, look what you've done!"

"I ordered you to become a monk in my place and pray for me before the Buddha, and this is how you pray for me? I ordered you to temper your character, and this is how you temper others?"

Aluminum Cloth trembled, raised its head, its face full of grievance; it simply couldn't hold it in any longer...

"Your Majesty, this humble general...this humble general has always been dutiful...and has never forgotten Your Majesty's entrustment..."

"Still trying to argue!"

Chen Shao flew into a rage and pulled out the icy white Embroidered Spring Knife from the side.

It was placed on the neck of the aluminum cloth.

"You're so lawless, do you really think I can't kill you?"

The aluminum cloth was terrified, its face turning ashen, and cold sweat poured down its back.

"Your Majesty...this humble general knows...knows his crime..."

He didn't understand why he couldn't control himself.

People say that after three years in the army, even a sow can rival Diao Chan (a legendary beauty).

But he's only been here for a little over ten days, and he already thinks the monks are handsome and refined.

Chen Shao was obviously just trying to scare him.

The embroidered spring knife trembled for a moment before crashing to the ground.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you off this time out of consideration for your loyalty."

"It's also my fault for being too eager for quick success and for being too harsh on you."

"Alright then, tonight I grant you special permission to go to a brothel and relax."

"what?"

Life is full of ups and downs.

"Such a good thing?!" Aluminum Cloth was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

"This humble general thanks Your Majesty."

[Ding! The aluminum cloth triggered the turn white, loyalty 100%, sworn to be loyal to the death and never betray.]

call!

Chen Shao breathed a sigh of relief; it really wasn't easy to subdue this brat.

He wouldn't dare use a traitor who has served three masters. With 100% loyalty, aluminum cloth can then effectively utilize its [fish-frying] function.

Chen Shao then changed the subject.

"Aluminum cloth, do you remember what I told you before?"

Aluminum Cloth felt a surge of excitement in his heart. How could he possibly forget? It was Marquis Wen!

"I will always remember this."

"You've honed your skills enough during this time. You'll set off for Huainan first thing tomorrow morning."

"Once you get there, all you need to do is write a letter of surrender to Liu Shouyi. Your task is to stay there; you are free to do whatever you want."

The aluminum cloth patted its chest and guaranteed it.

Having resolved his matter, Chen Shao returned to the palace without delay.

We immediately sent someone to invite Yu Qi'an.

"It's time to go to the east bank of the river and steal horses..."

As Chen Shao waited, the system beeped again.

[Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest "Recruiting Talented Individuals" and subduing the powerful general Aluminum Cloth. You have been granted five extra chances to draw prizes. Do you wish to draw?]
