Looking at the imperial edict that came from thousands of miles away, Zu An sighed inwardly. This world has indeed changed. The imperial edict arrived so quickly from afar. Since the intelligence system is so much faster than that of the original feudal dynasty, there might really be a chance to rebuild order.
Upon receiving the imperial edict, which contained the coordinates of the capital city, Zu An activated his vital energy and was quickly teleported to the capital.
He had actually tried before. Logically speaking, the distance from Shaanxi to the capital should not have taken him long to reach it given his cultivation level.
But when he flew by himself, he found that the whole world seemed to be rejecting him, and the distance was far more than ten thousand miles. The whole world had expanded a lot. He thought that it was because of the people who joined that the world changed and restricted everyone from doing as they pleased.
However, with the protection of this imperial edict, he could be teleported directly over.
Upon arriving in the capital, he immediately went to the agreed-upon location west of the Forbidden City to find Chu Chuyan and Isabella.
However, Isabella was the only one there.
Dressed in palace attire, she exuded a beauty that blended youthfulness and classical elegance.
"Brother Zu!"
Isabella was the first to see him and ran over happily; she had clearly been waiting there for a long time.
"Bella, little sister!"
Feeling the girl's trembling body, Zu An's previously chaotic heart calmed down a little.
At this moment, a palace maid timidly reminded her, "Princess, this is against etiquette. If outsiders see this, it will easily cause controversy."
Isabella straightened up, embarrassed, stuck her tongue out at Zaun, and her cheeks were flushed.
Zuan suddenly realized something: "Your current identity is that of a princess?"
“Yes,” Isabella secretly transmitted her voice, avoiding the maid’s notice, “My identity in this world is Princess Changping, Zhu Meichu, the second daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, whose nickname is Ajiu.”
Zuan: "..."
Unexpectedly, she became Ajiu, the pitiful woman in history who, after the fall of her country, had her arm cut off by Emperor Chongzhen and was asked to die for her country.
"I've been waiting for you here every day these past few days, and I'm finally here! Hmm, where is Sister Chu?" Isabella looked around.
Zu An's heart tightened: "You didn't see her either?"
"No, I thought you two would be together."
Zu An shook his head, wondering where Chu Chuyan was.
“Brother Zu, you don’t need to worry too much. Sister Chu is highly skilled and alert. She can protect herself more than enough. She must be on her way.” Isabella comforted her thoughtfully.
Zuan nodded. He was able to arrive here in the shortest time only because he had the help of an imperial decree. If Chu Yan were in a faraway place, it would be really not easy for her to come here.
At that moment, the imperial edict began to glow faintly, and a voice rang out, urging him to hurry into the palace.
Upon hearing that voice, Zuan looked at Isabella with a strange expression: "Chongzhen is..."
“That’s right, it’s the Grand Elder.” Isabella also had a bitter face. She had always been a little afraid of the serious Grand Elder, and she didn’t expect to have to play father and daughter in this world. It was really difficult for her.
"Where are the rest of the Chamber of Commerce? And those Templar Knights?"
"You'll know when you get to the Imperial Study."
...
When the two arrived at the Imperial Study, Zu An finally understood what the other person meant.
Those summoned this time were mostly members of the Order faction.
The Grand Elder was none other than the Chongzhen Emperor, who sat high on the throne.
The commander of the Augustus regiment was actually Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the Northeast against the Manchus, while Adrian's identity was Yuan Chengzhi.
Upon learning all this, Zuan was filled with all sorts of strange and unpredictable thoughts. Was this the power of fate?
What shocked him even more was the identity of the Second Elder. The handsome, devoted old man who had captivated so many women was actually Wu Sangui in this world!
It should be noted that Wu Sangui was a notorious traitor in this period of history. He was known for his anger over a woman, Chen Yuanyuan, and for letting the Qing army enter the pass, allowing the Manchus to rule the Central Plains. He is regarded as a sinner for all time.
How did the Second Elder, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, get in touch with this notorious traitor?
Given his deep affection, could he possibly fall in love with the Chen Yuanyuan of this world?
It's impossible no matter how you look at it.
The fourth elder, Mostima, was in the court as the minister in charge of finances.
The Sixth Elder, Naraku, is known as Sun Chengzong in this world. He guards the Northeast alongside Augustus and his son, while Augustus is in charge of military affairs, and Naraku is more responsible for administrative matters and logistics.
As for the others who participated in this grand ceremony of order, they were basically assigned to the subordinates of these individuals.
As Zaun sized up the others, they were also sizing him up.
Adrian couldn't help but question, "Shouldn't you be a historian or missionary recording everything? How did you become a regional governor?"
"I don't know why, but I have this identity after entering this world." Zuan was also puzzled.
“Your identity is definitely questionable!” Adrian suggested to Oberon. “Elder, I suggest we kill this guy on the spot. He might ruin our grand plan to rebuild order.”
Isabella quickly spread her arms to protect Zuan: "You're talking nonsense. With Brother Zuan's help, we are even stronger. Don't use this opportunity to settle personal scores!"
Adrian's face grew even darker as he saw her nervous expression.
Fourth Elder Mostima chuckled and said, "Bella is right. Now is the time when we need manpower. After all, he is a divine messenger and has abilities. His assistance will be of great help to us."
Augustus said coldly, "Not long ago, I led my men to a great victory over the Manchu army. According to the time conversion of this world, I can completely pacify Liaodong in less than 5 years. Why do I need the help of others?"
