Demon Emperor

Chapter 66 The Heavenly Emperor of Ancient Times
Ruan Hu was reading a book and waiting for news of a dead person.

He held the book in one hand and rested his chin on the other.

The shadow was cast on the ground.

eunuchs were constantly going in and out of the side corridor of the front hall, bringing in messages.

It wasn't very convenient for Zhou Kaigu to enter and leave the palace, but it was different for eunuchs. Therefore, when Ruan Hu needed them, many messages could only be delivered by eunuchs.

Ruan Hu also noticed that the eunuchs seemed to be using this method to extend their influence into the Detective Agency, and wanted to show their presence and demonstrate their role in front of the emperor, Ruan Hu.

Under the lamplight.

The middle-aged eunuch stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, that person has escaped into the West Market and has not yet been caught."

Ruan Hu slightly raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged eunuch.

"This guy is quite shrewd."

Wherever there are people, there is a struggle for power, and Ruan Hu discovered that there were indeed some things that were suitable for them to do.

"Well, that..."

"what's your name?"

Ruan Hu finally remembered that he seemed to have never asked this person's name, after all, he might be replaced tomorrow.

The middle-aged eunuch almost burst into tears and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this servant is Wang Ru."

Ruan Hu scrutinized him carefully, and finally looked at him properly for the first time.

He is a person who is mostly silent. Sometimes you can't even feel his presence. It's as if he is just a raccoon dog following you or a pillar standing to the side.

But the idea of ​​him being there exactly when you need him sounds easy, but it's actually quite difficult.

Ruan Hu said, "You're very good; you're a capable person."

Wang Ru knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. It is my great fortune to be able to serve Your Majesty."

Ruan Hu nodded: "Send someone to check again, and tell Zhou Kaigu to come see me as soon as he finishes his business, and report anything that happens immediately."

Wang Ru was overjoyed, for this meant the emperor had tacitly approved his involvement in the Investigation Bureau: "Yes."

Ruan Hu read a book under the lamplight, enjoying the tranquility of the night.

And at this moment.

Countless people outside are desperately fleeing for their lives, while others are escaping with their lives hanging by a thread.

Thousands of people are following his will, and their lives are in his hands.

The western part of Xijing City.

A fierce battle broke out in the alley. A dozen or so men, clearly seasoned veterans, were cornered there. At this moment, even the best martial arts skills were useless; they could only wait to die.

One by one, the warriors pressed forward, gradually surrounding and killing the people until only two or three were left struggling to survive.

At that moment, the man carrying a jar broke the jar, and immediately flames roared up, setting himself ablaze.

"boom!"

Moreover, some ferocious ghostly figures could be seen rushing out from the raging fire, howling as they swept towards the sky.

This immediately drew gasps from those around them.

They were seasoned veterans; although their mortal eyes couldn't see the ghostly figure, the moment their souls were startled and they heard the ghostly howl, they knew what had happened.

"That person can also use sorcery."

"No wonder, I was wondering why I couldn't find him. It was really a ghost. I didn't expect there really was one."

the other side.

Ruan Hu opened his eyes and walked to the front hall.

His pupils flashed with divine light as he watched the ghostly figure rush upwards, emitting strange howls and roars.

However, they didn't have time to wreak havoc.

Several demons and spirits flew out from the imperial city. One of them used a fork to spear them and eat them, while another blew on them and turned them into dust.

"call!"

These ghosts and spirits, whoever they were, vanished into thin air.

Although the imperial city is no longer as impregnable as a fortress, at least it is no longer a place where a few evil spirits or wandering gods can come and cause trouble.

Finally, Zhou Kaigu came to report back.

"Your Majesty, that man is dead, and I was unable to obtain him."

"I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Ruan Hu didn't care whether this person was dead or alive, or even his name.

"Have you found out? Who is this person here to see?"

Zhou Kaigu: "The place they appeared in before was not far from Huang Hui's residence, but I have no evidence."

Ruan Hu: "It doesn't matter anymore."

If Ruan Hu hesitated between suppressing and subduing Huang Hui and completely eliminating him, he has no hesitation now.
-
late at night.

Ruan Hu did not sleep.

Because we'll be preparing for the morning court session before dawn, going to sleep now would mean closing our eyes only to wake up immediately.

He still carried the Emperor's Sword at his waist, as if always ready to kill, unleashing his predatory desire and murderous intent towards all things without restraint. Unexpectedly, someone approached him for a chat.

in the mirror.

A figure slowly emerged, clad in celestial robes, possessing a beauty that no mortal could possibly have.

Although she didn't say anything, Ruan Hu knew who it was just by smelling the fragrance.

The celestial maiden's voice was different from that of ordinary people; one could sense aloofness and superiority, but when it reached Ruan Hu's ears, it possessed a unique gentleness.

"Is Your Majesty worried about the Huan Shou Barbarians, Huang Hui's faction, or Pei Yuanxiao?"

Although the Celestial Maiden of Fragrance is a deity, she seems to have a very clear understanding of human affairs.

If these three forces were to come together, it would be an understatement to say that they would face both internal and external troubles.

Ruan Hu glanced back and said, "Is the Heavenly Maiden worried that I am discouraged and afraid of difficulties? There is no need for that. I am not the kind of person who is afraid and retreats."

Miaoxiang Tiannu: "I know, I knew it the moment I first met Your Majesty."

"To be honest, I had only been born not long ago. I was filled with anxiety and fear, thinking that I would disappear from the world again and not know when I would be remembered."

Ruan Hu: "How so?"

The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Fragrance: "The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Fragrance is a righteous goddess of a nation, born in response to the incense offerings and prayers of the former Western Liang Women's Kingdom and foreign lands."

"It rose because of it, and it will naturally vanish with the long-extinct dynasties."

"But the dynasties that worshipped the Goddess Miaoxiang have been destroyed countless times, and the goddess herself has naturally disappeared time and time again, only to be reborn again and again because of the worship."

"The Great Sheng Dynasty fell apart, and the Northern Liang Kingdom was restored, and it began to pay tribute to us again. However, the Northern Liang Kingdom was also destroyed in an instant."

"It seemed that I was about to be forgotten again, but Your Majesty saved me."

Ruan Hu: "Even gods can die?"

Myo-hyang Celestial: "Gods can die, yet they cannot die. Gods can be forgotten, and then remembered again, and a new one is born."

Ruan Hu looked at her and said, "So, if I am defeated, you will die again."

Myo-hyang Celestial Maiden: "It's not that I'm going to die again, but that this time I'm truly and completely dead."

"The new Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Fragrance is different from me because of the different worship and the different era."

"but."

"I don't think His Majesty will be defeated."

Ruan Hu turned around completely: "Oh, in the eyes of the Heavenly Maiden, what kind of person am I?"

Miaoxiang Tiannu slowly stepped forward: "At the beginning, I knew that Your Majesty was the emperor of Xicheng."

"Even if things go badly, we can still hold out in this western region for a while."

Ruan Hu: "And then what happened?"

Miaoxiang Tiannu said, "I believe that Your Majesty is a true dragon. Perhaps one day you will be able to unify the nine provinces, reunify the world, end this chaotic and bloody world, and reintegrate this world that has been shattered by the gods."

Ruan Hu and Miao Xiang Tian Nu's acquaintance stemmed from a case of lust at first sight and a rebellion driven by greed.

Between the two, there is only the satisfaction of desires or the exchange of benefits; they need each other.

But as time goes by, they will eventually have some heartfelt conversations.

Miaoxiang Tiannu gradually walked to Ruan Hu's side and looked at Ruan Hu's face.

For three hundred years, the Dasheng Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation. A good appearance is just the basic requirement. However, there are certain things about Ruan Hu at this moment that surpass his good appearance and leave a deeper impression.

As the saying goes, "The face reflects the heart," and Ruan Hu's eyes reveal the boundless desires within him.

The Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang seemed to really like those eyes, and couldn't resist reaching out to touch them along her neck.

"but."

"Later, I had some bigger visions and stronger ideas."

Ruan Hu: "What are your thoughts?"

The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Fragrance: "Perhaps you can become the Heavenly Emperor of ancient times."

Ruan Hu: "Is the Heavenly Emperor the deity who sits in the divine realm, or the statue displayed in the temple?"

Despite the Heavenly Emperor's exalted status, Ruan Hu spoke of it with a hint of sarcasm.

Miaoxiang Tiannv shook her head: "He was the Heavenly Emperor of ancient times."

Ruan Hu then asked, "What was the Heavenly Emperor like in ancient times?"

Myo-hyang Celestial Maiden: "For example..."

"Like the Yellow Emperor."

When Ruan Hu came here, his initial thought was...

I don't need to care where I am, nor do I need to care whose identity and body this is.

I have only one goal.

I'm going to go on a killing spree and have a good time.

I want to do whatever I want and have a good time.

Do whatever you want.

I should be the one to rule over Xia Jie and Shang Zhou; only these tyrants dare to challenge me.

If you've had your fun, it doesn't matter if you get beheaded one day. It's all about the victors and the vanquished!
Ruan Hu had little reverence for many things, but he was still somewhat moved by the words of the Heavenly Maiden at this moment.
