Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 228 It’s better to be a confused ghost!

"Woo~!"

When the trombone sounded at the stern of the boat, Ruan Yu turned around suddenly.

The boatman, who had been rowing the boat obediently, took out a trombone made of animal horn from somewhere and blew it with all his might.

The melodious and muffled sound of the horn spread over the water, with echoes coming from the distant mountains.

On the foggy river surface, a "huge monster" broke through the mist and sailed towards the boat where Ruan Yu was, revealing its towering hull.

It was a huge ship with holes cut into its side. The muzzles of countless cannons were facing outside. The dark holes made people shudder.

There is a huge firing pin on the bow, which is enough to imagine how invincible this warship must be on the sea.

The surface of the Beijing Grand Canal is already very spacious, but this huge ship takes up two-thirds of the waterway, making it impossible for all ships passing by to bypass it.

Ruan Yu's heart skipped a beat: "Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!"

In shock and anger, he reached out to grab the boatman who was blowing the horn at the stern.

But the boatman had expected this. After putting away his trombone, he smiled at him and showed no fear at all.

Just as Ruan Yu rushed towards the boatman, a Shura heart image more than ten feet high suddenly appeared on the giant ship behind the boatman, and the bloody evil aura surrounding it broke through the heavy white fog.

Ruan Yu raised his head and stared blankly at the Shura shadow that appeared above the giant ship.

It was not until this time that he finally understood who had secretly plotted against him and killed his fellow disciples.

Didn’t the Shura Heart Appear when he asked Ling Nu to assassinate Zhao Qi’an not long ago?

This person... must be someone close to Zhao Qi'an!
"Zhao Qi'an..."

When Ruan Yu muttered the name in a lost voice, the Shura shadow stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Zhou, actually grabbing him by the waist.

"Squeak... squeak..."

As the giant hand grabbed him, Ruan Yu groaned in pain from all the bones in his body.

"what!!!!"

He roared towards the sky, and his middle and lower dantians started to work frantically. His blood and spiritual power intertwined together, erupting with a force that was enough to split mountains and rocks.

However, the giant hand of Shura's heart form was so strong that even when he exerted all his strength, he could not move at all. Instead, he slowly gathered his strength inwards and crushed several bones in Ruan Yu's body.

The gap between the two is too big. Even if a powerful person in the second level of the Creation Realm does not use any magical powers or spells, he cannot be contended with by a magical warrior.

The Shura shadow grabbed Ruan Yu, lifted her up high, and then smashed her hard under the deck.

"boom!"

Ruan Yu's figure fell heavily on the deck of the ship, creating a huge hole in the iron-covered wooden board on the deck.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt his internal organs rupture and his bones break.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside Ruan Yu's ear:
"Mr. Ruan, we meet again."

Zhao Qi'an!!!
When Ruan Yu heard this voice, his eyes were furious and veins bulged.

He struggled to get up from the deck, supporting himself on the ground with his bent and deformed right arm, and staggered as he tried to get up.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Ruan Yu gasped heavily and tried his best to raise his head, and finally saw clearly the person standing in front of him.

Zhao Qi'an was standing in front of him, followed by an old servant with wrinkles on his face and yellow teeth.

The old servant looked ordinary, but behind him appeared the Asura heart image as huge as a giant.

This person... is the powerful person in the Creation Realm beside Zhao Qi'an!
Just when Ruan Yu wanted to stand up straight, Zhao Qi'an suddenly moved.

He took a step forward.

With just one step, tremendous blood and energy burst out from his body, and the terrifying spiritual pressure made the surrounding air become violent.

"boom!"

It seemed as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on Ruan Yu, causing him to fall to the ground just as he was about to stand up.

His face was pressed tightly against the deck, blood foam continued to flow out of his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the sky, and he roared incoherently with unwilling words: "Zhao...Qi...An!"

He struggled to get up, but no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't stand up.

Until Zhao Qi'an walked over, squatted beside him, stretched out his hand to grab his hair, and looked at Ruan Yu's face carefully: "Come to think of it, this is the first official meeting between Ruan Gongfeng and me?"

Ruan Yu did not answer, but stared at him with eyes full of hatred.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

He lost!
And it was a complete failure!

He thought that once he entered Kyoto, everything would go as smoothly as he expected.

Even if Zhao Qi'an had some skills, even if he lost in the end, it should be after a satisfying game of chess, and he would be defeated with conviction.

But the cruel and cold reality is that after he entered Kyoto City, he only met Zhao Qi'an once. They didn't even say a word to each other. He didn't even cause any trouble to Zhao Qi'an, but he lost miserably.

Just at this moment, two figures jumped up, climbed over the side of the ship, and came onto the deck.

One of them...was actually Wei Zhaofeng!

Zhao Qi'an looked at the two people, let go of Ruan Yu, and walked towards them.

Ruan Yu was immediately terrified and shouted, "Zhao Qi'an, if you have the guts, come at me!"

But what he didn't expect was that before Zhao Qi'an made any move, "Wei Zhaofeng" chuckled and said to Zhao Qi'an, "Godfather, it seems that he hasn't figured out what's going on yet."

As the voice fell, "Wei Zhaofeng's" figure began to change, his bones made a "cracking" sound, and the whole person actually "shrunk", his body undergoing a drastic change.

As "he" raised his hands to cover his face, his wide sleeves covered his face.

After a moment, as "he" put down his hand, his appearance changed completely and turned into a charming woman.

In just a short moment, "Wei Zhaofeng" turned into a completely different person, with no similar figure or appearance.

Ruan Yu watched this scene with his own eyes, and felt a chill run down his spine.

There is such a talented person around Zhao Qi'an!
He actually didn't realize that his junior brother had been replaced by someone else...

In other words, it was Zhao Qi'an's arrangement to lead me here.

I... have always been played around by Zhao Qian'an.

Ruan Yu closed her eyes in despair, feeling powerless.

He... has no chance of winning at all!

At this point, he no longer thought about what would become of his junior fellow apprentice. If he fell into Zhao Qi'an's hands, would there be any difference between death and life?

Even he himself would probably die here today!
After a long time, Ruan Yu opened his eyes again.

But this time, there was no fighting spirit in his eyes.

He looked at Zhao Qi'an and said hoarsely, "I... have a few questions to ask."

At this point, Ruan Yu just wants to die with a clear conscience!
Zhao Qi'an nodded slightly: "Okay, how about exchanging one question for another?"

Ruan Yu was silent for a moment and nodded.

Zhao Qi'an asked: "Why does Zhao Wanjin trust you so much?"

Ruan Yu replied woodenly: "Because the current mistress of the Zhao family is my sister." As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people around Zhao Qi'an changed one after another.

Ever since the death of Zhao Qi'an's mother, Zhao Wanjin, the head of the Zhao family, has never remarried.

Even though he had no children, countless people around him advised him to remarry and have children in order to pass on the family business, but the Duke of Donghai remained unmoved.

But now he is secretly remarrying, and doing it behind the back of his only son Zhao Qi'an... This is very intriguing.

How would Zhao Dongjia (the benefactor) react to such a thing?

Everyone carefully observed Zhao Qi'an's reaction.

But Zhao Qian'an's expression remained calm, as if he had expected this.

Ruan Yu asked, "You are the one who framed me in front of the Second Prince?"

Zhao Qi'an nodded and said calmly, "Yes."

Ruan Yu couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it?"

Zhao Qi'an shook his head: "It's my turn to ask."

Ruan Yu's face suddenly turned ugly, but she remained silent, waiting for Zhao Qi'an to ask questions.

Zhao Qi'an looked at him and asked, "Did your sister give birth to a child for Zhao Wanjin?"

As soon as this question was asked, Ruan Yu stared at Zhao Qian'an with horror on her face.

As if seeing the surprise in his heart, Zhao Qi'an smiled and said, "It's easy to guess, isn't it? If there wasn't a new heir, how could my father dare to marry your sister into the family? I'm afraid that the elders of my Zhao clan are covering up this matter for my father, otherwise how could the spies I left in Haiqing City not reveal even a single piece of information?"

Ruan Yu was shocked: "She is just a girl. I can't compete with you for the Zhao family!"

"It's mine, why should I fight for it?"

Zhao Qi'an put his hands behind his back, but his calm words were full of pride and arrogance that could not be questioned: "Without me, the Zhao family would still be a small local clan living in a corner of Haiqing!"

Without waiting for Ruan Yu to speak, he turned to look at Ruan Yu and said, "This question is not yours to answer, but I don't have anything to ask you."

Ruan Yu asked persistently, "How did you order the Patrol of the Heavens to move?"

Zhao Qi'an didn't answer, but just glanced at Nie Xiuyuan behind him.

Old Nie immediately understood what he meant, grinned to reveal his yellow teeth, reached into his arms, and then showed it in front of Ruan Yu.

"Brush!"

The flag fell down, with a gold embroidered border and gold letters on a black background, with the word "King" written on it!

The King Flag...

The powerful man beside Zhao Qi'an is actually the royal flag bearer of the Astronomical Observatory!

Ruan Yu immediately realized that after she escaped from the palace, there was no movement in the Astronomical Observatory along the way. It was not because the Astronomical Observatory was useless, nor was it because she was lucky.

It was because the Astronomical Observatory handed this matter over to this "Royal Flag Worshiper"!
"I don't know!"

Ruan Yu's face turned pale, and he shouted sternly: "In order to frame me, you have destroyed the Second Prince's hope of ascending the throne! Wouldn't he let me go and let the Zhao family go? You worked hard to make friends with the Second Prince, but now you don't even care about this just to deal with me? Zhao Qi'an, you..."

The sound suddenly stopped.

His pupils tried to roll upwards, but he saw a finger touching his forehead.

Zhao Qi'an looked down at him and said coldly, "Mr. Ruan, you'd better be a fool."

A stream of spiritual power flowed into the center of the eyebrows along the fingertips, instantly detonating the Niwan Palace!

"boom!"

A hole suddenly exploded at the back of Ruan Yu's head, and red and white objects flew out of the hole, reaching a height of half a meter.

The vitality in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his body limply fell forward and onto the deck.

Nie Xiuyuan took a step forward and wanted to check Ruan Yu's body, but he heard Zhao Qi'an say, "No need to look. Ruan Yu has not yet been able to remove the life core from the Niwan Palace. The Niwan Palace exploded and he is dead."

He took a handkerchief from the person next to him, wiped his fingers, and said to the person next to him: "Cut off his head, pickle it and send it to me. I still need it."

"Yes, boss."

Xiong Shanyue obeyed the order obediently, and then volunteered to be the first to deal with the corpse.

Zhao Nishang walked quickly towards Zhao Qi'an and said in a low voice: "Foster father, Ruan Yu's junior brother is still here, do you want to come along too..."

She made a "wiping throat" gesture across her throat.

Zhao Qi'an said: "Everyone on Lingying Island is dead, so we have to leave one person to deliver the letter. Let him be the one."

Zhao Nishang nodded: "Okay, I understand, then I will detain him first."

……

In the afternoon, in the west market of the city, a huge ship docked at the port.

When Zhao Qi'an got off the boat, he was holding a box in his hand.

Beside him, only Old Nie followed him closely, while no one else followed him.

There was already a carriage waiting at the dock.

"Dong Zhao's family!"

A manager named Zhao Xing at the dock saluted respectfully towards Zhao Qian'an, then handed the reins to Mr. Nie beside him before leaving.

Zhao Qi'an got on the carriage. Old Nie glanced at the box in his hand and made a few gestures to him.

Zhao Qi'an shook his head: "Let's not go to the palace yet, let's go back home first."

He glanced in the direction of the palace and chuckled, "I guess the palace is still very busy right now!"

……

The palace is now in chaos.

The Second Imperial Concubine was frightened and the fetus in her belly was in danger. Almost the entire palace was alarmed.

The Fifth Marquis hurried to the Chengping Palace, followed by the medical officers of the entire Imperial Hospital.

In Chengping Palace, the door to the bedroom was closed. Many people were coming in and out, and everyone had a very unhappy look on their face.

Outside the bedroom, the second prince paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. From time to time, he looked up at the busy people in the bedroom, and then continued to pace back and forth with a gloomy face.

"Nothing can happen, nothing can happen..."

These words were not spoken by the second prince.

Ji Haoyu glanced at his fourth brother next to him.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince Ji Qingkong was sitting on the ground without any image, his hands hugging his knees, his whole body trembling, his eyes fixed on the direction of the bedroom, and he kept muttering: "Nothing can happen, nothing can happen..."

Ji Haoyu suddenly became furious. He quickly stepped forward and kicked Ji Qingkong hard on the back.

Ji Qingkong cried out, and fell to the ground.

But Ji Haoyu still felt unsatisfied, so he kicked him hard on his handsome face, causing his mouth and nose to bleed.

"Why did you bring such a villain to see me?!"

"What on earth are you thinking?"

"If my son is not safe, I will peel off your skin!!!"

If the fourth brother hadn’t brought people here, how could such a thing have happened!
I'm back from my wedding! I've been really exhausted these past few days. The most annoying thing is that it was clearly my wedding, but I didn't get to eat a single bite!
