Chapter 326 Snowstorm Before the Palace! Little Spring Peach!
Xiao Wu's expression froze for a moment.
Looking at his master's serious face, he didn't know how to respond!
Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled and praised:
"It's a good thing that the young man is obedient; this child has unlimited potential!"
"Haha, Master, I think so too." Xiao Wu said, hands behind his back, following behind.
"Zhang Ru is a bit stubborn... but his stubbornness is just right, and I admire him quite a bit."
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
He didn't respond; he just kept walking forward.
Just then, a heavy snow fell, like goose feathers scattered across the land.
The master and disciple, one after the other, also happened to arrive in front of the Ziji Hall.
Snowflakes covered the square, and as far as the eye could see, everything was white!
Chen Fan, with his hands behind his back, glanced ahead, stopped, and said:
"Can you even sit still in this seat?!"
Xiao Wu paused.
He looked up at him in the Purple Extreme Palace, then said in a deep voice:
"Master, like the two emperors, I also hope that all people under heaven are equal, that there are ironclad laws governing both the mountain and the land, and that this world can enjoy a peaceful year!"
A peaceful year?
Chen Fan's lips curled up in a smile.
Gazing at the swirling snowflakes, he whispered:
"Whether it's cause or effect... it seems our family can't escape it, so let's just accept it as it comes... and take care of ourselves."
The words fell.
Chen Fan walked step by step toward the Imperial Horse Stable with his hands behind his back.
He walked steadily, one step at a time, and soon disappeared into the swirling snow.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu, who was standing still, couldn't help but clasp his hands slightly in greeting.
With slightly red eyes, he strode towards the Purple Extreme Palace.
From afar, a familiar figure stood in the Ziji Palace; it was none other than the Yongle Emperor.
He was wearing a fur coat and his face was pale, but there was some relief in his eyes.
After seeing Xiao Wu walk up the steps, he murmured:
"Father...look at this child...doesn't he look like me and my brother...?"
……
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Imperial Horse Stables.
Chen Fan spends his days either cultivating or reinforcing the imperial city's grand formation.
He's recently become obsessed with formations and has put a lot of thought into them.
At the same time, Chen Fan also brought out the Yin Corpse Sect.
The people in charge of sect affairs are Ji Daozi, Ren Dahai, Zhou Xin, and Xiao Jinzi.
Under Emperor Jianwen's arrangement, the Yin Corpse Sect was built in a horse farm within the imperial city.
The area is spacious enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people!
As always, after finishing his cultivation, Chen Fan prepared to set up an array to reinforce the imperial city.
But as soon as he stepped out, he saw Ji Daozi and Emperor Jianwen walking towards him arm in arm.
"Master... I've got some good news to tell you!"
"Master..."
Chen Fan glanced at the two of them and remained silent.
"Master, it's like this," Ji Daozi said impatiently:
"Isn't the sect currently recruiting new disciples? I transferred over a dozen people from the Zhenxian Division over here. Of course, that's not the most important thing... The most important thing is that the Changchun Sect and the Qingyun Sect are fighting again... I'm thinking of sending people to collect the corpses and souls. What do you think..."
"Approved..." Chen Fan nodded.
"The Yin Corpse Sect is in a period of rapid development. You can make this decision yourself; there's no need to inform us. We'll come to inspect the results a month from now!"
"Yes..." Ji Daozi said excitedly, now that he held great power.
"Master, rest assured! I'm absolutely reliable. Within a month, I guarantee the Yin Corpse Sect will be renowned throughout the eight kingdoms, the eight sects!"
"Master," Emperor Jianwen added immediately after seeing that Ji Daozi had finished speaking:
"Also... I heard you have some kind of formation here... It's said to be incredibly powerful. Do you think we should equip my Great Abyss army with it?"
"Get lost..." Chen Fan uttered a single word!
"Alright! You continue your cultivation!" Emperor Jianwen, being sensible, then turned and left with Ji Daozi.
After the people left, the courtyard returned to quiet.
Chen Fan shook his head slightly upon seeing this.
He thought to himself that Jianwen was too cunning, always thinking about how to take advantage of others.
He could have taken advantage of others, but he always seems to target himself.
Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Fan sighed and followed them out of the Imperial Stables.
Looking up, the weather is fine and sunny today, with blue clouds in the sky – a perfect day for going out.
The Imperial Garden was also in full bloom, with flowers filling the air with fragrance.
Chen Fan had only walked a few steps when he saw the lively scene of singing and dancing on the banquet stage.
With an appreciation for art, he found a secluded spot to enjoy the view.
When things got boring, Chen Fan lost interest in those swaying, watery waists.
He utterly despised the extravagant lifestyle of Emperor Yongle, who indulged in gluttony, drinking, and merrymaking as he neared death!
With a sigh in his heart, Chen Fan smiled and then walked towards Tai'an Pond.
Those are some of the key points of the Imperial City Formation, making them relatively important locations.
After Chen Fan destroyed it by chance, the place gradually fell into disrepair.
After reinforcing the formation recently, he has put this place to good use again!
We arrived at Tai'an Pond.
Chen Fan skillfully squatted down by the water and washed his hands.
Just as he was about to go into the water to set up the formation, he heard a woman's voice behind him:
"What are you doing... Don't try to kill yourself... If anything happens, feel free to tell me..."
Chen Fan was taken aback.
Looking at his reflection in the water, it wasn't hard to see that a young palace maid of about seventeen or eighteen years old was walking towards him.
She has a round, chubby face and a tall figure, making her look rather cute.
Judging from the downy hair around her ears, she seems to be a maid who has just entered the palace.
"Come here... I'm Chuntao, a palace maid from Weiyang Palace," the young maid Chuntao stepped forward and grabbed Chen Fan's arm.
"Judging by your young age, you must be new to the palace..."
"You've misunderstood..." Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then thought of explaining.
"What misunderstanding?" Chuntao sighed.
"I also thought about dying in the first two days after I entered the palace, but when I thought of my parents, younger brother and sister in the village, I didn't want to die anymore. Why don't you think of your family?"
"I am an orphan..." Chen Fan answered truthfully.
"No one's home..."
Chun Tao was taken aback, then blushed and said:
"Pah, pah, pah... I don't know, ignorance is no excuse... Don't blame me... What's your name... Little eunuch."
"Little Chen..." Chen Fan pondered for a moment.
"Little Chen, where do you work?" Chun Tao asked again.
"The Imperial Horse Stables..." Chen Fan answered truthfully.
"The Imperial Stables? No wonder you wanted to die," Chun Tao exclaimed.
"I heard from the palace eunuchs that... the Imperial Horse Stables is a stinky and filthy place, and if you go there, you'll be raising horses for the rest of your life. Even if you want to find a partner, no one will want you. Little Chen, your life is really miserable..."
Chen Fan was speechless.
When he first heard the reputation of the Imperial Stables, he felt that what the eunuchs said made a lot of sense.
He didn't refute, but simply nodded and said:
"You're right..."
"Alright... Little Chen," Chun Tao said again:
"So be it, I'll raise horses then. What's done is done. We poor folks have it tough; just surviving is good enough. Can you promise me you won't die?"
