Demon Emperor

Chapter 76 Summoning Generals
The darkness dissipated.

The scene before my eyes instantly became real.

No longer as hazy as a dream, but as if you were actually there.

What came into view was no longer the outside world, but a government office.

From this angle, the flying-headed ghost seems to be hiding on the roof beam.

At that moment, Ruan Hu followed his gaze through the roof beams and saw a group of people below plotting something.

"Lingjin."

Ruan Hu saw the plaque hanging behind him; the flying ghost had actually flown over here.

This is a key location under the jurisdiction of Ling County, which is controlled by Pei Yuanxiao.

The voices below grew clearer, and Ruan Hu finally understood what these people were saying.

A man in official robes stood under the plaque, while another man in military uniform led several people in trying to persuade him.

"Since the Emperor values ​​the Military Advisor so highly and is willing to offer him the position of Garrison Commander, what concerns does the Military Advisor still have?"

"Liu Duwei, Pei Zhuguo has treated me very well!"

"Now that Pei Yuanxiao has transferred all his troops to the west, the interior is completely vulnerable. This is a golden opportunity that we must not miss!"

"Pei Zhuguo is currently waging war against Xicheng. If he succeeds, he can take control of Xicheng and Ling County. He might just be able to achieve great things."

"Even if Pei Yuanxiao succeeds, what does it have to do with you and me? Would he let his military advisor become the garrison commander?"

"Once you join the army and make up your mind, the heavenly troops will arrive and attack from within and without, and Pei Yuanxiao will be reduced to dust in an instant."

To the west, Ruan Hu's army was a heavenly army.

When we arrived in the east, the weather changed.

The Zhou emperor's army was now a heavenly army.

As Ruan Hu listened, he almost laughed out loud. It really was true that there were thieves everywhere.

"There are also people within Pei Yuanxiao's own ranks who want to rebel and are thinking of selling him out to become the garrison commander of the Great Zhou."

Sure enough, this is the state of the world these days.

There are traitors and rebels everywhere!
Everyone has a few treacherous under their command.

The two below, the one in official robes is the Military Advisor in Pei Yuanxiao's office, and the other is the Garrison Commander of Lingjin.

The two must have received an imperial decree from the Zhou emperor in the east. Perhaps, at this moment, the other party's secret envoy is hidden in the side hall next to the main hall.

Pei Yuanxiao and Emperor Zhou were sworn enemies. His entire family had been killed by Emperor Zhou, which is why he led Ling County to surrender to the Dasheng.

That's why Ruan Hu said earlier that the late emperor had taken him in.

And now.

Emperor Zhou, having somehow obtained the information, sent a secret envoy to poach Pei Yuanxiao's man.

Ruan Hu's situation is critical; it feels like they've ripped off Peter to pay Paul, and the dilapidated Dasheng Dynasty is leaking from all sides.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Pei Yuanxiao.

His situation is no better than Ruan Hu's.

Despite his seemingly menacing exterior, if he cannot quickly turn the tide, he may perish even faster than Nguyen Hu.

Inside the government office hall.

The captain tried to persuade him repeatedly, but the military advisor still hesitated.

"No, no, we can't rush it!"

"We need to take another look."

"Their troops haven't even entered Xicheng yet. If we attack now, wouldn't we be the first to be hit and die without a burial place?"

The soldier claimed that Pei Yuanxiao had treated him well and seemed to be somewhat loyal, but these words immediately betrayed his true intentions.

There's no loyalty to be found; the soldiers standing by are just intimidating them.

Everyone wants to eat meat, but no one wants to be the one who gets beaten up.

Pei Yuanxiao does indeed have a major problem, but it seems that whether this problem will erupt or not is uncertain.

However, the situation changed when Ruan Hu's flying head ghost discovered the lightning bolt.

"You ghost, you really are something else."

The rumor that he acted as an accomplice to the tyrant is true.

This treacherous ghost was indeed his most capable assistant, the most powerful one.

The conspiracy in the government office came to an end, and the images transmitted back by the flying-headed ghost gradually ceased.

Xijing City.

Ruan Hu opened his eyes and rolled over to get up.

Without him saying anything, the palace servants immediately stepped forward and lit the palace lanterns one by one.

Before long, Wang Ru knelt down at his feet.

"Summon Yuchi Chongwu to the capital!" Wang Ru: "Yes!"
-
The real war is about to begin.

Ruan Hu was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night; he felt his blood surging and boiling all over his body.

Under that silver moon, Ruan Hu practiced martial arts until dawn, and only stopped when sweat blurred his vision.

It wasn't fear, but excitement and longing.

As soon as Ruan Hu sat down, two rows of eunuchs came forward and stood on either side of him, one of whom draped a cloak over his shoulders.

Two palace maids knelt on the ground, one on each side, and gently reached their hands inside Ruan Hu's clothes to wipe away his sweat.

His muscles, honed from the recent workout, were now as hard as steel. Ruan Hu's hot breath blew on the face of the palace maid he was pressing against, making her feel hot.

With each breath Ruan Hu took, the palace maid felt as if he were a ferocious beast, ready to bite her slender, fair neck at any moment, like a tiger snatching its prey.

She dared not look Ruan Hu in the eye, feeling her whole body tense.

It seemed like fear, yet also anticipation.

No one else spoke, except for the eunuch beside him who spoke with concern.

"Your Majesty, please return immediately!"

"The night wind is biting cold; what if it injures the dragon's body?"

Ruan Huke didn't feel the night wind was biting at all; in fact, he wished the wind would be stronger and more intense.

It would be difficult for someone without supernatural powers, with a weak physique and insufficient strength to generate boundless ambition, to understand the mindset of Ruan Hu, this fierce and ruthless ruler, at this moment.

Armed with sharp weapons, he harbored murderous intent.

Simply being a tyrannical ruler no longer excites Ruan Hu; the enslavement and control of ordinary people also evoke his disdain.

Only by pulling those gods, who have been high and mighty since ancient times, down from their pedestals and trampling all their dignity and power into the dust can we achieve this.

Slay the most valiant warrior in the world, and shatter his self-perceived strength with unparalleled power.

They plunder all the most beautiful things in the world, taking them from those ancient families and powerful clans, making those once high and mighty beings kneel at their feet.

To command and control the most powerful, evil, and cunning beings in the world, and make them submit.

Only at that moment could Ruan Hu, this demon, feel excited.

War is the most direct manifestation of this conquest and plunder.

"Unfortunately, I can't go in person this time."

However, Ruan Hu was not in a hurry.

Because he knew that the chaos at Huan Shou was just an appetizer, and the real formidable figures would appear later.

He still needs to accumulate strength to obtain the most powerful thing.

At that time.

That is the true battlefield of human warfare in Kyushu, the moment when the life-or-death struggle between dragons and snakes begins.

At dawn,
Yuchi Chongwu then hurriedly went to the palace to pay his respects.

He was extremely excited. Although the person who summoned him did not say why the emperor had summoned him, he had already guessed it.

They entered the palace.

He knelt down impatiently at the emperor's feet and shouted loudly.

"His Majesty!"

He slammed his head against the ground with a thud.

He wanted to say something, but for a long time he didn't know what to say. In the end, the emperor in the palace spoke for him.

"I know your abilities best."

"I don't need you to say anything. I just need to bring back the heads of the Huan Shou Man and the rebels, capture their entire tribe and send them to Xijing, so that everyone in Xijing can hear their wails and cries."

Ruan Hu's words were quite blunt, bloody, and extremely cruel.

However, Yuchi Chongwu, being a martial artist, liked this straightforwardness; he understood the desires of martial artists.

"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail your expectations!"

Yuchi Chongwu was moved to tears. In his eyes, the emperor was unfathomable and awe-inspiring.

At the same time, the other party personally promoted him, enabling him to reach this position in a short period of time.

At this very moment, the emperor once again demonstrated his trust and understanding towards him.

For Yuchi Chongwu, at this moment, there was only one thought on his mind.

To die for the emperor.

Afterwards, Ruan Hu discussed the matter of sending troops with Yuchi Chongwu, and also gave Yuchi Chongwu all the intelligence obtained by the intelligence bureau.

Upon seeing the intelligence report, Yuchi Chongwu was even more shocked.

Not only did the emperor know the internal situation of the other party, but he also knew what the letters between them and Pei Yuanxiao contained.

This deepened Yuchi Chongwu's awe of the emperor.
