The Prodigal Son of Northern Liang: Starting with Signing in to Find the Four Ghosts of Western Huna

That's a ruthless, selfless, and inhumane extreme!

It was a tremor and a lament from the very soul!

With a sword in hand, Xu Fengnian seemed no longer an ordinary person.

Instead, he is the king of demons who emerged from the eighteenth level of hell!

"Has this brat mastered a new move again?" Li Chungang's pupils shrank.

This feeling.

He had done it before at the Demon Slayer Conference.

But this strike is different from the world-destroying sword.

Because this strike is even more evil!

The beauties all felt that Xu Fengnian was becoming more and more unfamiliar to them.

It seems... it seems that at this moment, he no longer has any feelings of love!

Everyone's soul was trembling.

Cao Zhengchun, who was the first to be affected, was terrified!

A sense of impending death instantly washed over me!

This kid wouldn't actually dare to kill me, would he?

The pupils contracted sharply.

Cao Zhengchun quickly spread his arms wide: "Heavenly Gang Boy Skill!"

hum-

stab-

The true energy formed a blue arc shield, protecting Cao Zhengchun within it!

It was the Heavenly Gang Righteous Qi that he had practiced diligently for many years and was very proud of!

But he had a premonition!

Even this unparalleled defense couldn't withstand the devastating strike that followed!

Xu Fengnian slowly raised his hand.

His eyes were filled with violence.

He moves very slowly.

In Cao Zhengchun's eyes, it was as agonizing as if a century had passed!

Sweat had already soaked through my entire body!

will die!

I'm going to die...

Cao Zhengchun panicked.

He desperately wanted to retreat, but he knew that once he did, Xu Fengnian would run rampant throughout the entire Ming Dynasty!

He is now the representative of the royal family!

Even if it means dying ten thousand times, I will not retreat!

Just as Xu Fengnian was about to swing his sword,

Just as Cao Zhengchun's heart nearly jumped out of his chest,

A shrill voice suddenly rang out from afar: "The Emperor has arrived!"

The words trailed off.

Then, Zhu Houzhao's hearty laughter rang out.

He then strode towards Xu Fengnian with an imposing air: "Your Highness has entered the capital, why didn't you greet me first? So that I could show you some hospitality."

Upon seeing the Emperor arrive.

Xu Fengnian then sheathed his sword, cupped his hands and smiled, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I originally intended to find a place to stay first before paying my respects."

call--

See crisis resolved.

Cao Zhengchun also withdrew his Heavenly Gang Righteous Qi, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself that if His Majesty had arrived a step later, his life would probably have been in danger!

"I see." Zhu Houzhao nodded, then asked, "By the way, what are you all doing here?"

talking.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Xu Fengnian and Cao Zhengchun.

"I have recently gained some experience in swordsmanship, and since Eunuch Cao is here, I thought I would like to have a friendly exchange."

"Ah, right, let's have a friendly spar," Cao Zhengchun awkwardly echoed.

He thought to himself that he almost really got cut up!

"Haha, you are all martial arts practitioners, it's normal for you to spar in your spare time." Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, his expression unreadable, and his eyes never once glanced at the imperial edict that had been reduced to fragments on the ground.

"Since Your Highness has nowhere to stay, I think this Dragon Guard Manor is quite nice. Now that the Imperial Uncle is far away in Liyang, I suppose even if he finds out, he won't blame you. Your Highness, please stay here."

"In that case, I thank Your Majesty for the reward," Xu Fengnian said, cupping his hands in thanks.

"No need for formalities. I still have some matters to attend to in the palace. When you have free time, please remember to visit the palace. You are always welcome."

After a few more polite words.

Zhu Houzhao then left with Cao Zhengchun.

-

After walking far away.

Cao Zhengchun then said with great distress, "Your Majesty! How could you so easily let Xu Fengnian..."

"Alright, shut up. If I hadn't arrived in time today, you would be dead. Remember to go back and find me more beautiful women, so as not to betray my kindness to you."

"This old servant obeys!" Cao Zhengchun said through gritted teeth.

Cao Zhengchun only stopped walking after respectfully seeing the emperor into the imperial palace, his eyes filled with malice!

"A tyrant!" Cao Zhengchun cursed.

Flying Eagle, standing nearby, offered a timely reminder: "Master, Zhu Wushi's intelligence network is loyal only to him. The so-called Dragon Guard Manor is merely an office location. If they really want to gather intelligence, can't they do it at the Number One Manor in the World? Can't they do it elsewhere? In reality, whether or not he stays at the Dragon Guard Manor, the result will be the same."

"The Emperor's decree is most likely just a test of Xu Fengnian's abilities. It would be best if it could serve as a warning to others. Even if it fails, it will demonstrate the imperial family's attitude, test the loyalty of the Grand Eunuch, and at the same time reveal Zhu Wushi's ambition to the world. It kills three birds with one stone, which is quite ingenious!"

"You mean..." Cao Zhengchun was jolted awake by those words, as if waking from a dream: "Could it be that the Emperor..."

“That’s right.” Flying Eagle sneered, “Everyone says that Xu Fengnian has been hiding his talents for sixteen years, but I think our Emperor is the one who has been hiding the deepest. He is a minor hermit in the city, a major hermit in the court, and a heavenly hermit in the supreme position! He is not some kind of foolish ruler!”

Geek!

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's heart skipped a beat!

He served Zhu Houzhao his entire life!

Even he himself didn't realize it!

How terrible is this?

But now that Flying Eagle has seen through it all, recalling all that has happened before, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat!

The Ming emperors were truly incredibly cunning!

"Flying Eagle, you are truly my right-hand man..." Cao Zhengchun sighed.

∞ is not a reminder from the Flying Eagle.

He will probably remain in the dark until his death!

For a time,

I couldn't help but trust Flying Eagle even more!

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. It is my honor to share your burdens!" Flying Eagle said loyally, but secretly he was laughing to himself.

-

The other end.

Xu Fengnian and his group successfully entered the Dragon Guardian Manor.

"Xu boy, if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty hadn't arrived in time, would you really have wanted to kill Cao Zhengchun?" Li Chungang asked, sitting on the throne where Zhu Wushi usually conducted his business, while picking his nose.

"Of course not." Xu Fengnian laughed. "One Cao Zhengchun can't stop me. Zhu Houzhao couldn't possibly be unaware of this. His presence was exactly what I expected. This Ming emperor is no ordinary man. Don't underestimate him."

"So, you never intended to swing that knife at all?"

"Hmm." Xu Fengnian said quietly, "Sometimes, a knife doesn't necessarily have to be swung out to unleash its power, does it?"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right." Li Chungang pursed his lips. "What are you planning to do next?"

"Go find an interesting person and give him a chance." Xu Fengnian smiled slightly.
