Demon Emperor

Chapter 80 Do not wear armor

Ruan Hu wanted to form the Divine Chariot Army, and now the opportunity had truly arrived.

Upon hearing the news, Ruan Hu immediately returned to the palace.

The message came from the Chen family's caravan. Although the letter did not confirm that those people were after him, Ruan Hu was already certain in his heart.

With the external situation beyond his control, Ruan Hu now needs to ascertain the situation on his side.

then.

He immediately summoned people to inquire about the situation in Ya County.

"What's the situation in Ya County?"

"Also, what's the situation on the Flying Cavalry side?"

The visitor was Lu Wenli, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, who then explained the situation in Ya County in detail.

Lu Wenli, Vice Minister of War, said: "The only soldiers in the area who are truly capable and effective are the thousand rattan armor soldiers in Ruojing City and the Flying Cavalry. The rest are just local militia and villagers from various places."

Ruan Hu then asked, "How many people are there in the Flying Cavalry?"

Lu Wenli: "The total number of people is about eight hundred: five hundred light cavalry, three hundred auxiliary soldiers, five hundred warhorses, two hundred spare horses, and one hundred packhorses..."

"Most of the soldiers were recruited from the Qingmian Qiang tribe, and they all knew that Chitian was unruly and difficult to control."

Ruan Hu remembers.

He had previously transferred this Flying Cavalry Commandery, and Chi Tian had said that the reward was not enough, and even wanted to lead troops to the city of Xijing to ask him, the emperor, for a reward.

"Very powerful ah!"

Ruan Hu said something casually, but it was unclear whether it was a genuine compliment or a sarcastic remark.

Vice Minister Lu Wenli immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

What about recently?

"Is there anything unusual?"

Lu Wenli: "After His Majesty issued the decree, I informed all parties that they have been keeping an eye on them, but there has been no unusual activity."

Ruan Hu thought to himself, "It seems that the horse-faced god has not yet contacted these people, and these people are even less aware of what specific changes have occurred in the divine realm."

In fact, long after Ruan Hu learned of the relationship between the Green-faced Qiang and the Horse-faced God, he had already ordered people to keep a close eye on the Flying Cavalry and their general, Chi Tian.

However, Ya County is not like Xijing. The local situation is very complicated. The relationships between the Qiang, Man, Fan, and Liao people are intricate and many interpersonal relationships are intertwined.

If he were to issue a decree directly to seize the Flying Cavalry Capital, it might not necessarily succeed.

Killing these people without a reason could easily trigger a chain reaction, so Ruan Hu has not taken any action.

"Go down!"

"My minister retire."
-
Inside the Zichen Palace.

Ruan Hu was still not at peace, pondering the intricate situation.

Where should we begin?

This world truly doesn't let anyone have an easy time.

Ruan Hu had just sent someone to assassinate Pei Yuanxiao from behind when he turned around and found himself attacked from both sides.

Really.

The world turns, and retribution is inevitable.

At night, there are usually no female officials on duty in the innermost chambers of the Zichen Palace, but there is another group of people with special identities on duty.

"Den!"

A ripple appeared in the Mirror of Illusion and Reality, and one after another, celestial maidens carrying lanterns and fans walked out of the mirror. After inspecting their surroundings, they went to inspect the celestial palace inside the mirror.

Ruan Hu, who had been deep in thought, turned his head and saw Bai Gu Shen standing in front of the pillar, serving her.

Upon seeing her, Ruan Hu asked, "Are you on duty today?"

When Bai Gu Shen was asked this by Ruan Hu, she didn't know why her ears turned red. "Hmm!"

Looking at Bai Gu Shen, Ruan Hu suddenly had an idea.

That night.

Ruan Hu let his hair down and asked the White Goddess.

Do I look like it?

Bai Gu Shen examined it carefully, then shook her head.

"Not quite like it."

Ruan Hu had someone fetch the Ghost God Robe, then put it on and turned to look at Bai Gu.

Bai Gu said somewhat reluctantly, "It's about 50% similar."

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Hu put on another horse-shaped mask, looked at Bai Gu, and nodded at her.

The White Maiden Goddess said, "It's about 70% like the real thing."

It seems that seven-tenths resemblance is the limit.

Ruan Hu looked around, then pulled Bai Gu Shen into his arms and went to the mirror.

In the mirror.

Bai Gu Shen nestled shyly in Ruan Hu's arms.

Ruan Hu asked him, "And now?"

Bai Gu Shen dared not look at herself in the mirror, but said with absolute certainty.

"Now we have ten points."

I don't know if it's true or if they're just fooling Ruan Hu.

However, you can give it a try.

A strange thing happened at the Imperial Stables that night.

The Imperial Horse Stable Supervisor suddenly opened the gate, and all the white-headed donkeys inside suddenly left, following the "Divine Steed General" as they galloped majestically towards the mountains and the wilderness.

Just like when they came.
-
Ya Jun.

The Flying Cavalry camp was established.

Today, Du Chitian seemed to be in a bad mood because he received news that that damned emperor seemed to suspect him.

Not only were he and the Flying Cavalry transferred to this place, but people were also sent to monitor him and suppress his logistics.

In the camp.

In front of everyone, Chi Tian spoke openly and without any hesitation.

"What do I have to doubt?"

Is there any need to doubt it?

It sounds like he's extremely loyal.
Then, Chi Tian changed the subject.

"If that damned emperor doesn't pay me, I'll rebel tomorrow and rob him in Xijing!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the camp burst into laughter. Many of these soldiers had blue tattoos on their faces.

At first glance, it gives the impression of a ferocious demon with a blue face and fangs. If one were to ride alongside it in a charge, its menacing appearance would further intimidate and intimidate.

Chi Tian had an arrogant and disdainful attitude, looking down on everyone.

The only deity they worshipped was the horse-faced god.

If the Horse-Faced God gave the order to kill the Emperor, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Having vented his anger in front of everyone, Chi Tian also drank quite a bit of alcohol and fell asleep in broad daylight.

In my sleep.

He smelled a fragrance, and then heard a strange sound.

"Uh...uh...ha..."

It sounded like a horse neighing.

Chi Tian sensed something, suddenly turned over and stood up, his gaze sweeping fiercely across his surroundings.

Immediately, his gaze was fixed on the wooden shrine statues enshrined on the wall.

Chi Tian was shocked and blurted out.

"Horse King?"

The moment he said those words, Chi Tian became excited.

"Could it be that the gods are summoning me?"

In fact, Chi Tian had recently heard some news that something big was about to happen in the tribe.

Moreover, something big is also happening in Xicheng.

The Huan Shou barbarians are causing a great disturbance in the east, and General Pei Yuanxiao is also eyeing the throne covetously. It remains to be seen whether the Emperor of Dasheng can hold onto his position.

“Something big must have happened, so the Horse King appeared to me.”

Chi Tian isn't afraid of anything major happening; he's just afraid of nothing happening at all. How can you get ahead these days if you don't cause trouble?
It would be best if things in Xicheng were completely chaotic, and that the city were turned upside down.

Following the sound.

The flying riders all followed Chi Tian.

He stepped over the rocky ground and walked up the high slope, and then he could see the old forest in the distance.

He vaguely saw a divine being riding on a strange beast in the deep forest, watching him from afar.

"Horse-faced god?"

A sudden gust of wind blew, and mist filled the hillside at night.

It seemed as if a goddess was speaking in the wind, or as if a spirit from the mountains and fields was questioning him.

"Now that I have seen the Emperor!"

"Why not?"

And then.

In the forest, strange, non-human eyes lit up; they were all white-headed donkeys of demonic race, watching the Qiang people in a grand procession.

They all felt a jolt from the soles of their feet to the back of their heads, and without any further hesitation, they knelt down and shouted in awe and submission.

"Chitian pays respects to the Divine Lord."

The White Maiden Goddess appeared beside the deity, nestled in his arms, and commanded Chi Tian in an ancient accent.

“Cut off your hair and offer it to the Emperor.”

Chi Tian was filled with excitement. He thought that this must be a great change in the world, and that the gods were about to place their bets on him.

"The day is the day to achieve great things."

With divine protection, does he also have a chance to distinguish himself in this chaotic world?
Then, Chi Tian kowtowed and said.

"Yes!"

Chi Tian took out a short dagger and forcefully cut off the top of his hair.

Blood flowed down his head, and he trembled, yet showed no hesitation.

He crawled forward until he reached the divine being, then raised his head high beneath the ferocious beast's head.

"Uh!~"

The white-headed demon donkey beside him swallowed the top of Chi Tian's hair whole, chewing it vigorously as if it were eating grass.

At this moment, Chi Tian dared to raise his head slightly and take a closer look at the figure of the deity.

The fragrance lingered in my nose, seemingly emanating from something held in the hands of the White Maiden Goddess.

However, Du Chutian, looking at the silhouette of the deity, vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

"This...is not right..."

"who is it?"

Chi Tian then realized what Bai Gu Shen meant by "Emperor Venerable".

But that White Maiden Goddess was clearly the real White Maiden Goddess.

How could the deity beside Bai Gu not be the one he worships?

"What's the matter?"

Chi Tian couldn't figure it out and felt his brain was a bit sluggish.

But by then it was too late.

Or rather, by the time he arrived here, it was already too late.

A shadow gradually clouded Chi Tian's eyes. He felt his consciousness becoming hazy, and the eyes of the ferocious and strange donkey grew larger and larger in front of him.

In the world of consciousness, those donkey eyes were like two bright suns in the sky, gazing upon his soul.

When I looked up again...

He knelt before the white-haired demon donkey, completely submissive.

When Ruan Hu rode the Divine General forward, he prostrated himself in worship, unable to resist in the slightest.

Ruan Hu pointed into the distance and said.

"go with!"

His goal is not just this one general, but the entire Flying Cavalry Capital.

Or.

It is a re-enactment of the Divine Zou Army, using these Qiang people as sacrificial offerings.

The sky was not yet dark.

All of them returned Chi Tian to the camp and summoned all the team leaders under their command.

He wore a helmet to cover his shaved head and sat at the head of the table, issuing commands to those below.

"Tonight, we will offer sacrifices to the gods at the drill ground to show our piety."

"Do not wear armor!"
