Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Wu'an Marquis's Residence, Study

"This is much quieter."

Bai Xingling followed Li Junsu into the study, sat down comfortably, and stretched.

Bai Xingling was speechless at Li Yinian. It was quite an achievement that such a grown man could be disliked by the entire household.

Even a cute little thing like Sizi wanted to beat up Li Yinian.

Despite Si Zi's filial piety towards the emperor, anyone in the Marquis's mansion could pinch her cheeks. Si Zi was also well-behaved, never crying or making a fuss, and was especially endearing.

Upon hearing Bai Xingling's words, Li Junsu rubbed his temples and sat down.

"Eh, is the Demon Emperor really that famous general?"

As soon as Li Junsu sat down, Bai Xingling leaned over.

"Ah."

Li Junsu glanced at the documents beside him and responded softly.

Li Junsu was not surprised by this. In this world, the Taiping Dao's talisman water was not just for show; it was extremely powerful.

As the number one contributor to the destruction of the Taiping Dao, it was perfectly normal for Huangfu Song to obtain the Taiping sorcery from them.

"The demonic arts are indeed ruthless; they could even cause a loyal minister to fall..."

Bai Xingling felt a pang of emotion, but then, as if remembering something, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Li Junsu glanced at Bai Xingling, who was laughing inexplicably, completely bewildered.

Then, a familiar sensation came through.

"Hahaha...you...do you think if the emperor allowed his ministers to practice demonic arts, wouldn't they advance by leaps and bounds in a day?"

Bai Xingling rested her head on Li Junsu's shoulder, and her melodious laughter echoed throughout the study.

"It probably won't be too good."

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu shook his head slightly, imagining the ministers, all exuding demonic aura, gathered in the Taiji Hall.

The emperor's decision not to allow his ministers to practice overly powerful techniques was also based on this consideration.

At that time, it will be more than just discussing court affairs.

Without practicing any powerful cultivation techniques, the ministers' physical abilities surpassed those of ordinary people simply due to the nourishment they received from rare and precious natural treasures.

If they get really angry while arguing, these people will actually resort to violence.

If someone were to cultivate demonic arts, the Taiji Palace would be destroyed within three days.

"Ha...haha, do you think they might beat up the emperor?"

Bai Xingling laughed and said, "The most evil thing about demonic arts is that it affects one's state of mind. If one's will is not strong, it is easy to lose control."

Given the resentment the court officials harbor towards the emperor, they might actually take action.

Bai Xingling laughed until tears streamed down her face at the thought of a group of ministers ganging up on the emperor.

"possible."

As Li Junsu processed official documents, he felt the pressure on his shoulder, speaking casually.

"Haha, I can't help but laugh when I think about it." Bai Xingling forced herself to stop laughing and stretched her muscles again.

Seeing that Li Junsu had gotten into work mode, Bai Xingling stopped joking and began organizing official documents.

......

Lingnan, restaurant.

Amid the festive atmosphere, the restaurant was bustling with activity.

In a corner, a dignified middle-aged man sat alone, pouring himself a drink.

This is the key target of the Six Doors: the Demon Emperor Huangfu Song.

At this moment, Huangfu Song's face was somewhat ruddy. He shook the wine bowl in his hand, and the wine reflected the face of this famous general.

"I was born at the wrong time."

Huangfu Song looked at his reflection in the wine and made a self-deprecating remark.

After learning about the state of the world, Huangfu Song couldn't help but lament the injustice of fate.

If the emperor back then were the one now, he wouldn't believe how much space he would have to realize his ambitions.

When the Way of Peace swept across the land, Huangfu Song was able to quell such a great upheaval, so he must have had the ability.

He killed 200,000 soldiers alone.

The only thing that is criticized is that Huangfusong also killed prisoners without mercy and even built a mound of corpses to represent them.

However, in the eyes of a loyal minister like Huangfu Song, the consequences of treason should be dire, so as to deter others.

Being able to cultivate demonic arts, this famous general naturally possessed some wickedness.

"We should thank those evil Taoist priests for the disaster that has struck Taiping."

Huangfu Song downed the wine in his hand in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and smiled.

In Huangfusong's view, the Taiping Dao uprising was more like a disaster.

The Demon Emperor looked at the empty wine jar at his feet, then stood up with a smile.

After tossing down a few pieces of silver, the Demon Emperor walked out of the restaurant.

On the streets of Lingnan, a demon emperor was leisurely strolling around.

The patrol officers, mingling among the civilians, were all on high alert, ready to evacuate the people at any time.

Huangfu Song withdrew his divine sense and walked towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains with a smile.

He wanted to draw attention away from the Nightmare Demon Palace, but the world was at peace at the moment, and he wasn't crazy, so there was no need to start another bloodbath.

Let the Demon Realm rise in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

As Huangfusong walked past a stall, the items on it caught his attention.

"My esteemed guest, is there anything that catches your eye?"

The old man looked at Huangfu Song in front of him and asked with a smile.

"You've got some nerve." Huangfu Song picked up the seal in the center, on which a lifelike dragon coiled.

"You flatter me, sir. In the Great Qian Dynasty, the phoenix is ​​revered." The old man said with a smile.

"I'll take it. How much?"

Huangfu Song looked at the seal in his hand, seemed to remember something, and asked with a smile.

"One ingot of silver."

The old man was overjoyed at the sight and held up one finger.

Huangfu Song didn't waste any words and directly threw out a silver ingot.

Then, the Demon Emperor walked away, toying with the seal in his hand.

"Speaking of which, I really have a connection with the Imperial Seal."

As his thoughts drifted back to those absurd events of the past, Huangfu Song's lips curled into a smile.

......

In my memories

"My lord, if you wish to have the imperial seal, I will provide it to you."

Sun Wentai, seeing the familiar face before him, wisely presented the imperial seal.

"Are you Sima under Zhang Boshen?"

Huangfu Song took the imperial seal and examined it, his tone playful.

"Yes, when the Taiping Rebellion was quelled, I was fortunate enough to work alongside you for the dynasty."

Sun Wentai laughed loudly and nodded in agreement.

"You wouldn't feel bad giving me this imperial seal, would you?"

Huangfu Song looked at the fierce tiger of Jiangdong in front of him with a playful tone.

"I don't feel bad, my strength is not as good as yours, sir."

Sun Wentai spoke with a smile.

"You can keep it. I have no interest in the throne."

"As for continuing to serve the imperial court, I have even less interest."

Huangfu Song threw the imperial seal back as if it were a stone.

Sun Wentai quickly caught it with both hands, glancing at Huangfu Song in front of him with lingering fear.

"My lord! This is the imperial seal!" Sun Wentai glared at Huangfu Song and rebuked him angrily.

"Jade my foot, have a drink with me." Huangfu Song looked at the Jiangdong Tiger in front of him and thought the man was somewhat interesting.

......

It will be even more interesting to see the imperial seal again next time.

"Your family has been high-ranking officials for four generations?"

Huangfusong looked at Yuan Gonglu in front of him and slapped him across the face.

Yuan Shu was stunned when Huangfu Song suddenly appeared and slapped him.

......

"It's a pity I didn't slap him a couple more times back then."

"Four generations of high-ranking officials, that's the kind of thing that's really fun to smoke."

Huangfu Song put away the seal and walked out of the city with a smile.
