Chapter 198: The Gate of Witchcraft that Mysteriously Disappeared

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The gate of witchcraft was famous for its astrology and divination. It was divided into two factions.

One faction was known as astrologers, and the other faction was known as sorcerers.

Astrologers made predictions at the cost of their own lifespan, while sorcerers used the lives of others to perform their sorcery.

The gate of witchcraft was strange and mysterious. They never entered the world and never came into contact with the outside world.

Once they were born, they would definitely cause a bloody storm.

According to the records fifty years ago, a female sorcerer was born…

The next page was torn out, and it was unknown what this female sorcerer had done.

But judging from the last sentence, it was not a good thing.

Nalan Cui closed the book and became wary of Yuyan. What exactly did he mean by compensation?

The window suddenly rang. Nalan Cui walked closer and took a look. A book was placed on the windowsill.

Looking into the distance, there was no one there.

On the cover of the book was written “True Records of the Wind and Clouds”.

Picking it up, he found that one of the pages was folded.

Nalan Cui opened the page. There was another thing recorded on it.

The gate of witchcraft was burned to death by a little boy more than ten years ago. After that, he escaped and became the only surviving member of the gate of witchcraft.

This little boy should be Yuyan. Why would he set fire to the members of the gate of witchcraft?

A new question arose.

Nalan Cui gathered all the information he knew and speculated on the possibilities.

Gu Ruoyun returned to the bedroom and saw that Su Yan was catching up on her sleep. He did not disturb her and just sat quietly by the bed, watching her.

Chu Tao walked in to see this scene and quietly retreated.

Su Yan mumbled as she turned around and continued to sleep.

One of the inner guards suddenly appeared. Gu Ruoyun made a silent gesture and walked out of the door. He then asked, “What’s the matter?”

The inner guard lowered his head and replied, “An Yi has returned. He requests to see His Royal Highness.”

Gu Ruoyun had returned so quickly because he had left An Yi to deal with some affairs.

Hearing this, he nodded and walked towards the side hall.

The inner guard disappeared in an instant.

An Yi, who had received the reply, was already waiting in the side hall.

When he saw Gu Ruoyun, he went up to him and said, “Lord, most of the plague in the south has been controlled. However, the problem of the flood has already begun to spread over here.”

The speed of the water current was extremely fast. An Yi had used his Qinggong to return.

Gu Ruoyun nodded.

On the morning of the second day, Yuyan proposed to increase the speed of the construction of the canal and required all the ministers to provide workers.

The ministers were all watching him do something stupid. They were all unwilling to do it.

They all admonished, “Your Majesty, we cannot allow imperial envoy to continue his nonsense. This matter has become a laughingstock for the people.”

Nalan Cui did not speak and continued to support him unconditionally.

The ministers could only turn to Guang Pingwang and say, “Guang Pingwang was not in the palace previously. Please judge this matter.”

Unexpectedly, Gu Ruoyun replied directly, “Do as he says.”

The ministers did not react for a moment. When they realized that he was referring to Yuyan, they were all shocked.

What kind of background did Yu Yan have? They did not know how he had managed to coax the emperor. Even Guang Pingwang listened to him.

Yuyan was not angry at all at their questioning. Seeing that they were not speaking, he said, “Now, can all the ministers cooperate with me?”

Ignoring their embarrassed expressions, he quickly assigned them tasks.

When the ministers heard that it involved some silver issues, they exploded again. It was noisy. In the end, they just did not have any money.

Nalan Cui snorted and said, “Elder Zheng, did you forget to hand over the confiscated silvers from the bandits last time?”

Elder Zheng said calmly, “How many silvers do those bandits have? We don’t even have enough money to pay the soldiers. I even pay them with my own money.”

Nalan Cui snorted again and said, “Five boxes of gold, three boxes of jewelry, ten boxes of weapons….
