Chapter 180 Immortal Lord, stop flirting, be careful of your... (Thirty-four)
After going out, Yu Huo finally understood what this guy was talking about.
The servant sweeping the yard outside saw them and immediately bowed and asked, "Where are you going, nephew?"
Mu Xingguang groaned, "Let's go to the flower hall."
The servant raised his hand and pointed to the right: "Go that way."
Mu Xingguang followed his instructions and walked forward, but stopped at the intersection. The next person continued to ask, "Where are you going, nephew?"
"Flower Hall."
"Come, come, come, walk along this road."
Yu Huo: "..."
This aunt really dotes on her nephew who is bad at finding his way. Upon learning of Mu Xingguang's arrival, she directly ordered that all those working in the general's mansion would have a part-time job as a 'guide'.
Wonderful!
Chen Zi'ang is a famous general of the demon race. Three years ago, when the immortal cave had not yet appeared in the world, this general was very famous. He was invincible on the battlefield between humans and demons and was an extremely tough nut to crack.
But who would have thought that this general who was feared by the human race actually had such a gentle and elegant face, and even exuded a scholarly air when he was silent.
When Yu Huo saw this scene, he felt that it was understandable that this guy would have rebellious thoughts. How could an educated military general be willing to be inferior to others?
When the other party saw Yu Huo and the others, he quickly stood up and said, "I have heard of the great name of Saint Su Yue for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed a handsome man. He is unforgettable."
Yu Huo didn't reveal any flaws and greeted him with a smile: "The general's name is also well known to me. I will trouble you with everything in the general's mansion these days."
Chen Ziang said hurriedly, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. By the way, is everything going well for the Second Prince in Liangyi Sect?"
Jiang Feng nodded: "Thank you for your concern, General. I am doing well."
"That's fine, that's fine. Everyone, please take a seat. Don't be shy."
Chen Zi'ang ordered people to pour wine and serve dishes. Yu Huo loved wine more than his own family members. He poured one glass after another, completely ignoring Jiang Feng's increasingly ugly expression. He drank as much as he could and would be fooled if he drank less. In a short while, he had gotten Chen Zi'ang drunk.
Seeing Yu Huo about to clink glasses with him again, he quickly waved his hand to refuse: "Saint Lord Su Yue has a good alcohol tolerance. Let's stop drinking here today. I wonder how long Saint Lord Su Yue plans to stay with the Second Prince to visit his parents? When do you plan to enter the palace to meet His Majesty?"
It seems we are finally getting down to business.
Yu Huo didn't refuse and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. He chuckled and said, "That all depends on when your Majesty will receive you. By the way, General, you've been working in the palace every day. Has the Demon King's illness improved?"
Chen Zi'ang looked at Yu Huo deeply.
Whether the Demon King is sick or not, doesn’t everyone here know it clearly?
He originally wanted to point out their situation in Rongcheng to gain the right to speak, but Saint Lord Su Yue simply avoided the question and was even better than him at pretending to be ignorant.
Looking at the smiling face of the Immortal Lord Qing Yi, he was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly asked: "Do you think the Demon King is really sick?"
Yu Huo asked back, "Do you think we really came to Rongcheng to visit our relatives?"
Chen Ziang laughed loudly upon hearing this: "What's that for?"
Yu Huo remained silent about this and asked instead, "When will the Demon King's illness be cured?"
Chen Zi'ang's smile faded, and he spoke meaningfully, "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. The Demon Emperor's illness is strange. It might be cured in a day, or it might never be cured... But you two have come to the Demon Clan. If you don't receive an audience with the Demon Emperor for a long time, I'm afraid it will lead to rumors of discord between father and son. If this drags on for too long, if someone takes advantage of the situation, the situation will change completely..."
"Oh? General Chen is truly thoughtful." Yu Huo pretended to ponder for a few seconds, then tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "However, I have heard of a medicinal ingredient that can cure the Demon King's strange illness. Unfortunately, I don't know where it is."
Chen Zi'ang also looked over with a puzzled look: "Saint Lord Su Yue, why don't you describe it a little? Maybe I know something about it."
Yu Huo narrowed his eyes, and a sense of pressure from the Holy Lord spread throughout the room.
Chen Ziang's expression finally changed, and the demonic energy in his body condensed on his body surface: "Since Saint Su Yue is willing to help, why is he keeping silent now?"
Yu Huo sneered, "General Chen, you want us to help you kill the Demon King with just a piece of information. Isn't that asking for too much?"
Chen Ziang paused for a moment, then said sarcastically, "Everyone says that Saint Su Yue is pure-minded and indifferent to worldly affairs, but I never thought he is such a clever person with many ulterior motives."
Yu Huo was unfazed by his provocation and smiled: "Thank you, I'm not just cunning, I have a hornet's nest in my heart, so if you have something to say, just say it directly."
Chen Ziang looked at him for a moment, then calmly dispelled the pressure from his surroundings. A serious look crossed his eyes. "Alright, since we're collaborating, then I'll show my sincerity. The half of the key to the Immortal Cave you want is on the Demon King's person."
Jiang Feng sneered: "A single banyan tree can form a forest. What's the difference between you saying it and not saying it?"
Chen Ziang smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. A scent-seeking bee flew in and gently landed on his fingertips. "I was the one who snatched this half of the key back then. Before I gave it to the Demon King, I smeared the key with my pet's bodily fluids. Even if the Demon King transforms into his true form, he'll still be able to find that half of the cave key."
After saying this, he took out a map of the imperial palace’s defenses and said, “Take this. If you can find a way to sneak into the palace, I will transfer the guards at the front gate.
As for assassinating the Demon King... I won't take action, but I will make it as easy as possible for you. Similarly, if you fail, it will have nothing to do with this general."
Yu Huo then put away his pressure and smiled: "Of course, General Chen's sincerity is enough."
Just as the two sides had reached an agreement, Chen Ziang's personal guard walked in and said solemnly, "General, the Third Prince is here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziang looked at Jiang Feng and Yu Huo across from him and raised an eyebrow: "The Demon King is quite suspicious. Seeing that you have come to the General's Mansion, he sent the Third Prince to investigate."
Yu Huo hummed and stood up: "General Chen, then this matter is settled."
After saying that, he put the Xunxiang Bee into the Qiankun bag, then took Jiang Feng away. When they went out, they ran into Mu Xingguang, who didn't like drinking and was wandering around.
He saw the two of them walking out the door and asked, "Where are you going so late at night?"
"Going on a date."
Yu Huo lied without hesitation, and Mu Xingguang believed it. He stopped and tried to catch up with him. He touched his nose, cursed them as "stinky couple", and went to visit the garden again.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the general's mansion, they saw Jiang Bai standing outside the door in gorgeous clothes.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Bai, the seemingly brothers, instantly forgot everything that had happened in Xuanbing Island before and started to greet each other insincerely.
"Why don't you go in when your third brother comes?"
"I'm really ashamed. My second brother has come to Rongcheng, which is such a big deal, and I, as his younger brother, have only just heard about it. How can I have the nerve to sit here and drink tea?"
"Third brother, that's being too polite. How can an older brother argue with his younger brother? Besides, the emperor is ill, and it's inevitable that I might have made some mistakes while tending to him."
Jiang Bai said hurriedly: "Wrong is wrong. Second brother has come back from a long distance, and as a younger brother, I must give him a good welcome. I have already booked a private room in a restaurant in the city. How about we two brothers catch up on the past..."
Jiang Feng put on a professional fake smile: "Very good."
