“Wait!”
Nan Mo's low, slightly angry voice suppressed the restlessness of the surrounding soldiers.
"Who gave you the courage to shout and kill in my place?"
Nan Mo's eyes, filled with hostility, slowly looked around and finally fixed on the mask of the Hidden King.
The Hidden King's heart skipped a beat.
"I kept Chaomu for my own reasons. Your Majesty, do you not believe me?"
"Azhi..." Prince Yin stared at Xu Zhi's extremely handsome face infatuatedly, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that too many strange things have happened to Chaomu, and the Supervisor just happened to predict that there will be disasters caused by demons and ghosts..."
"It's not the turn of an outsider to come to my Duke's Mansion and give me orders!"
Xu Zhi rubbed his brows, looking very angry: "Your Majesty, you would rather believe in divination than me?"
"I... I don't disbelieve Azhi..." King Yin seemed a little flustered.
Chu Mu, who was about to get into action, looked at this and that, then simply rolled up his sleeves and watched the show.
"Your Majesty," the old eunuch said as he stepped forward, "The Duke of Zhenguo is caught in a trap and is unaware of it. You must not listen to his words at this moment! Don't forget, you are the emperor of Daxia!"
"That's right," the confusion in the eyes of the Yin King quickly subsided, "I am the emperor of Daxia!"
The Yin King shouted sternly: "Royal Guards, listen to my order! Capture the demon Chao Mu! Anyone who disobeys my order will be punished!"
"yes!"
Snap——
Just as Nan Mo was about to draw his sword, Chu Mu lightly struck out with his palm, pushing the sword back from its sheath.
"Hey! You stinky Taoist priest!" Chu Mu pointed at the old warden. "You didn't even kneel down and kowtow to your master when you saw him, but you actually want to arrest me? This is treason, treason!"
The old warden sneered, "Don't bother with this demon, just arrest him."
"Okay, that's what you said."
Chu Mu opened and closed his eyes, and suddenly a wind blew up in the area centered on the Duke's Mansion.
Bang, bang, bang, the wind blew straight up, lifting all the archers lying in ambush on the roof high up, and then dropped them heavily.
"ah!"
"Ouch……"
The fallen soldier was wearing armor and was still alive, but he just kept wailing.
"this--"
The thunderstorm and fire not long ago were still vivid in their minds. The guards became frightened again, and their hands holding the swords were hesitant.
"Witchcraft! This is witchcraft!"
The old Taoist priest's face turned pale and he pretended to be calm.
[Haha, this old guy is really a coward. His so-called ability to communicate with ghosts and gods is nothing but some street tricks. He's been fooled for so many years. I think the emperors of Daxia are all more stupid than each other!]
The original body's mother was a princess from the Western Regions. It was not her wish to marry the late emperor, so she was naturally depressed every day.
But she was beautiful and was deeply loved by the old emperor, so she became pregnant as soon as she entered the palace.
She had originally planned to live a good life for the sake of her child, but first the child was swapped by the supervisor, and later the old man said "the evil concubine is a disaster for the country" and directly gave her a three-foot white silk.
【Since I'm here, it means we are destined to be together. 】
Chu Mu touched his heart, where an inexplicable grief and anger lingered, as if he could empathize with the person.
【——Then kill him.】
Chu Mu opened his eyes again, and the blackness in his bottomless pupils seemed to be overflowing.
boom!
A bolt of lightning fell without warning at the old warden's feet.
"ah!"
The old man was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Haha." Chu Mu suddenly felt that using the Thunder Attracting Technique to deal with such a pustule was really a bargain for him.
He silently put away the half-used talisman and said, "See? This is your powerful and almighty Director of the Imperial Observatory."
Chu Mu calmly walked towards the Imperial Guards: "Old man, let me ask you, do you dare to fight me?"
The old Taoist priest with white beard turned his head to look at the sky, and confirmed again and again that the thunder had disappeared. Then he climbed up with the help of the little boy.
"I learn the Daoist way of saving people, not such sinister and evil magic as yours. How can it be compared?"
"Really?" Chu Mu stretched out his fingers, which were as thin as the roots of scallions, and pointed lightly at the old supervisor.
boom--
Another bigger thunder struck.
The lightning blasted cracks all over the ground around the old warden.
With crackling sounds, the bluestone paved ground around them broke apart and the soil underneath collapsed.
“Ahhh!”
The area where the old supervisor was standing became an isolated island.
The old man learned some juggling skills from the barbarians and had been pretending to be a charlatan for decades, but he had never seen such a scene.
He stared at the pit beside his feet, and he could no longer pretend to be an immortal or a strange man.
"Chao Mu—you—" The old warden was trying not to look so cowardly, "Whose advice did you get? Perhaps if you explain it clearly, we won't doubt you anymore."
The old supervisor was actively handing Chu Mu a ladder.
[You can't beat me, so you want to bribe me? ]
Sure enough, the old supervisor was trying to extend an olive branch again: "As long as what you have learned is not unorthodox, and you have such great talent, the position of Deputy Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory is yours."
At this time, the old man did not mention a word about the assassination attempt on Qiufeng Cliff.
"Want to know?" Chu Mu stood at the edge of the pit, looking into the old supervisor's eyes from a distance of less than two meters. "Let her tell you."
【Old Eight, hallucination.】
Nan Mo, who was on guard against the other party's surprise attack, seemed to hear what Chu Mu said, but because he was too focused on the current confrontation, he could not hear it clearly.
Nan Mo felt a little sorry and blamed the old eunuch for his hatred.
"No! Why is it you!"
The old man who had been pretending to be calm suddenly began to shake and tremble like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
"Ahhh! Don't come over here!!"
“Ahhhhhh!”
The old jailer was screaming more and more miserably.
"Don't dig my eyes out!"
…
The old eunuch was screaming miserably.
However, in the eyes of others, it seemed that he had inserted two fingers into his eye sockets.
Everyone retreated silently.
"Master Supervisor...what happened?"
The young child trembled slightly with fear.
Chu Mu tapped his toes lightly and landed behind the little boy.
He stretched out his palm to cover the child's eyes: "Shh, a good child will not disturb God's punishment of the wicked."
"Please forgive me! I was also forced by the Grand Tutor... Madam Ruji, no—"
As soon as Ru Ji's name came out, everyone except Chu Mu and Nan Mo looked at the old supervisor who was still kowtowing and begging for mercy in shock and panic.
"Empress Ruji, please let me go, ah——"
"I didn't want to kill you. It was the Grand Master who said you had discovered the child's affairs and must be killed."
The old eunuch was still howling, but the Hidden King quietly tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword...
