Plan 2
Soon it was the next day. The royal procession was magnificent and the footsteps could be heard from a long distance away. However, Qin Yan did not act rashly, but waited patiently for Gu Qingqu to return.
Last night, the 108 generals told Qin Yan some common sense about the human world in bits and pieces, making Qin Yan understand that if Gu Qingqu encountered danger on the way to the sacrifice, it would be a disaster for the human world; on the contrary, if he encountered danger on the way back, it would be a good omen.
Qin Yan didn't understand why this happened, and the 108 generals couldn't explain it either, but anyway, it was right to do it this way.
So they waited and waited until noon, when the guard of honor finally arrived. Qin Yan jumped up with joy and pushed the tiger demon next to him, "It's your turn to perform."
This matter had been discussed last night, and the tiger demon took off the chaos stone from his neck and revealed his true form. Suddenly, there were bursts of thunder, dark clouds, strong winds, flying sand and rocks, and a ten-meter-high golden tiger descended from the sky and rushed towards the guard of honor. The guard of honor had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that they dared not retreat or advance with their weapons raised.
"Monster...monster"
"Protect... Protect the emperor..."
"Help!"
The scene was in chaos. The golden tiger stretched out its sharp claws and tore the roof of the carriage into pieces, revealing Gu Qingqu's pale face. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his long hair was flying in the wind. The wind was too strong, so he held on to the carriage tightly to prevent himself from being blown away.
"Little demon, where are you escaping to?"
A violent shout was heard, and everyone looked at Qin Yan, who flew out of the forest on a egret, as if he were a god. "God, the immortal is coming!"
Through the wind and sand, Qin Yan met Gu Qingqu's eyes accurately. The cold and aloof look was exactly the same as what he saw on the battlefield. But the next second, Gu Qingqu's eyes turned red, and his look was fragile and fearful. Qin Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. This was more like a normal look.
Qin Yan took out his long sword, and one second before the thunderbolt fell, he pointed the sword at the golden tiger and shouted loudly: "Little demon, die!"
The long sword pierced through the golden tiger and stabbed straight in front of Gu Qingqu. Gu Qingqu trembled in fear. Thunder rumbled and the golden tiger disappeared. Qin Yan fell off the egret and fell into Gu Qingqu's carriage. Gu Qingqu reached out to help him, "Master"
Qin Yan pretended to be exhausted and gasped to comfort him, "The tiger monster has been eliminated, you don't have to worry."
The thunder stopped, the wind died down, and the rainy sky finally cleared up. The golden sunlight surged, making everyone smile.
"May our ancestors bless you" "May our ancestors bless you"
After the catastrophe, everyone was celebrating and praying. The attendants hurried forward to ask, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Gu Qingqu coughed twice, brushed off the dust on his body, and said in a weak voice, "With this master's help, I will be fine."
"Thank you, Master. Where are you from?"
Qin Yan said the story he had prepared last night, "We originally lived in seclusion in Qishan. Three months ago, we encountered a bear monster that came to seek revenge. The bear monster had infinite magical powers. In order to avoid harming innocent people, we migrated with our entire clan."
"Why are you seeking revenge?"
Qin Yan replied: "My ancestors once had a demon catcher."
The attendants suddenly realized what was going on, but were not surprised. They asked again, "Where are you going, Master?"
Qin Yan continued, "Before we set off, someone in the tribe had divined and said that we would have an adventure here, and this adventure would help the tribe settle down."
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Gu Qingqu, his eyes carrying a special and meaningful smile as he said, "Now it seems that you are our adventure."
Gu Qingqu was very understanding, "Master, you saved my life, I will make proper arrangements"
Having said that, Qin Yan naturally continued, "That's right, the hexagram also said that the most suitable place is a place called the harem."
The attendants below all took a deep breath. Gu Qingqu's expression was calm, but he didn't say anything. Qin Yan continued, "Although I saved you, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to repay me for saving your life."
The attendants below took a deep breath again. Qin Yan glanced at them and asked, "What's wrong? Are you charging for air?"
The attendants below did it again...Okay, they didn't suck it this time.
"Can"
Gu Qingqu agreed, and the attendants took a deep breath this time. Although they were suspected of being ruthless, they still had to persuade him, "Your Majesty, the master is a man. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a man to live in the harem."
Fortunately, Qin Yan had the news in advance. Without waiting for Gu Qingqu to speak, he resolved the concerns of the ministers with just two sentences. "You don't know, except for me, all the people in my clan are women." Then he shouted, "Girls, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one hundred and seven beautiful women with various styles and graceful figures rushed out from the woods. The attendants gasped when they saw those faces that were so beautiful that they looked like fairy concubines.
Originally, Qin Yan didn't think they were good-looking, but after seeing the mortals in the human world, even Qin Yan began to like them. They were indeed not of the same style. He smiled proudly, then turned his head to look at Gu Qingqu, wanting to see if he was also fascinated. As a result, when he turned his head, he met Gu Qingqu's clear eyes.
Qin Yan blinked, "What?"
Gu Qingqu asked modestly: "Is this the master's clan member?"
Qin Yan nodded, "Yes."
"Return to the Palace"
Qin Yan and his demon generals moved into the harem smoothly. There was no one in Gu Qingqu's harem originally, but when they arrived, there were more people, filling up the entire harem. They even had to compete for accommodation. Because Qin Yan was a man, he was the only one who had a separate residence. He lived in the Weiyang Palace, very close to the Yangxin Palace where Gu Qingqu lived.
Everything went smoothly, but there was one bad thing. Qin Yan didn't know before that once he lived in the harem, he couldn't move around freely and could only stay in the harem. Although it was different from what Qin Yan had expected, he could still accept it for now.
Because Qin Yan has other worries now, that is, how to destroy Gu Qingqu's merits? He pondered over it day and night for three days, and finally it came to him.
Gu Qingqu wants to accumulate merits, and he wants to destroy merits. So if he prevents Gu Qingqu from accumulating merits, isn't that the same as destroying them?
Qin Yan wiped the corner of his lips with his hand, his eyes filled with a sharp smile. He is truly a genius.
In order to successfully carry out his sabotage, he divided the 107 generals into eight teams according to their characteristics, and appointed a captain to each team, who was directly led by him. Qin Yan looked at the submitted plan and was very satisfied. The division of labor was even clearer than when fighting with the Heaven Realm. It was settled.
Soon, the investigation team found out Gu Qingqu's daily routine. Gu Qingqu would get up at three in the morning every day, wash up, and then go to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
Qin Yan, who learned the news, convened a secret meeting of the heads of the eight teams late at night. Because their demonic powers were restrained, half of them were drowsy, while the other half were very energetic due to the characteristics of nocturnal activities, so overall they were still energetic.
"Waking up at three in the morning must be his way of accumulating merit"
The people below all agreed, "That's right, even chickens don't get up this early, this is definitely not normal."
"You can't let him get up so early."
The people below all agreed, "Yes, we must not let him accumulate merit in this way."
Qin Yan looked around and finally stopped his gaze on the captain of the fifth team, Dongfang, who had a sharp look in his eyes. "I'll leave this matter to you."
Dongfang, who was named, stood up immediately and responded with full energy: "I promise..."
Before he could finish his words, the captain of the fourth team, Fu Ze, covered his mouth and said, "Keep your voice down."
Dongfang nodded repeatedly with his eyes wide open. Qin Yan yawned and said, "It's getting late. Let's go quickly."
Dongfang responded in a low voice and walked away in a hurry. Because he walked too fast, his feet changed back to claws from time to time. Qin Yan looked at his legs that kept changing and asked curiously, "What is Dongfang's true form?"
Fuze replied: "Owl"
Qin Yan nodded, very satisfied with his arrangement, "He should do this job."
Fuze asked again: "Then what else should we do?"
Qin Yan thought for a moment, "It's not a good idea to do too much when you first arrive."
The people below all agreed, "Yes, if he gets upset and starts to suspect us, the plan will be ruined immediately. It's better to proceed step by step."
Qin Yan agreed deeply and waved his hand, "That's it for now, everyone go back to sleep."
The servants responded in unison and then returned to the palace.
Without his magic power, Qin Yan also wanted to go to bed. After the party, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the bed.
After a good night's sleep, Fuze arrived at noon the next day. Because the palaces of Fuze and Dongfang's teams were very close, Fuze came to help Dongfang report on last night's battle.
Fuze described Dongfang's words vividly, "Last night..."
Last night, Dongfang hurried to the Yangxin Palace, but was stopped by the guards at the door. "Miss, His Majesty has already rested. If you have anything to say, please come tomorrow."
Dongfang did not give up, and asked in a delicate voice, "Is it not okay for me to just go in and take a look?"
The guard was startled by his beautiful and gentle voice, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "No...No, you better come tomorrow, young lady."
The guard was too shy to look Dongfang in the eye, his face flushed red. Dongfang Jiao snorted and turned away, walking to the corner to think of a plan. Since people can't get in, owls can always get in. So Dongfang transformed into his original form and flew around the Hall of Mental Cultivation, only to find that the doors and windows were tightly closed and there was no place he could enter.
Dongfang did not give up. Finally, he flew to the roof, picked up two tiles, and squeezed in through the gap between the tiles before being discovered by the guards. Then... he started off badly and fell straight onto the bed, waking up the sleeping Gu Qingqu.
Qin Yan was shocked and asked anxiously: "Then what?"
Fuze smiled embarrassedly, "Then Gu Qingqu got up."
Qin Yan was even more shocked. "Doesn't that mean he got up earlier than usual?"
Fuze was a little embarrassed, "Two hours earlier than usual."
Qin Yan was so angry that he was speechless. He leaned heavily on the backrest and said, "Where's Dongfang? Tell him to come over immediately."
Fuze replied: "I can't come."
Qin Yan stared at him, and Fu Ze answered honestly: "Without his magic power, he can't see the road during the day, but he said that with the experience of last night, he will definitely be able to successfully destroy Gu Qingqu's merits today."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. "Master!"
Qin Yan and Fu Ze looked at each other, then stood up pretentiously and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
The guard replied: "Yesterday, a girl with a rough and hoarse voice from one of the master's tribesmen wanted to see your majesty. Now that your majesty is free, you can let the girl go."
Qin Yan blurted out, "Who?"
The guard replied: "It was too dark, I couldn't see his face clearly."
Fuze felt something was wrong. How could this be different from what Dongfang said? So he asked, "Were you there last night?"
The guard nodded, "I was on duty last night."
