Dragons only want to be in the water, and don't like to stay in the wilderness

Chapter 520 Easy to catch
This is not even worth acting.

Zhao Gou was extremely curious, but this time he answered without hesitation:

"it is good!"

If he hesitated any longer, he feared the immortal would take the elixir back.

In the past few days, Zhao Gou has been reflecting on himself and constantly regretting his actions.

Why did I hesitate back then?
That's a lifespan of three hundred years! Who can live for three hundred years? Even the ancient Peng Zu lived to be eight hundred years old, but there are many things to consider that don't seem real.

Now, the opportunity has presented itself to him once again, and Zhao Gou did not hesitate at all, and swallowed it!

Instantly, he felt a warm sensation in his abdomen, and his whole body felt like it was floating on air.

Soon after, Zhao Gou appeared very low-key in the imperial court.

Even when the emperor issued twelve imperial edicts in succession, ordering General Yue Yifei to continue expanding the territory, there was little reaction.

Moreover, it seems that they have a laissez-faire attitude.

Chen Zhu sneered.

How could he not know what Zhao Gou was thinking? He was about to rebel. If General Yue Yifei returned at this moment, what would he have left to rebel for?

Little did they know that behind those twelve gold tablets was another token, written in Zhao Gou's own handwriting.

At this moment, in Yue Yifei's army camp, which was confronting the Jin army, Yue Yifei stared in astonishment at the twelve gold tablets.

"They're not sending me back, they're sending me to continue fighting?"

"Great! That's wonderful, that's fantastic!"

The general laughed heartily: "Heaven has eyes! Heaven truly has eyes!"

"There's hope! There's hope!"

He had defied the imperial decree several times before because he was afraid that he would be summoned back. Now was the perfect opportunity to wipe out the Jin army.

He was still on tenterhooks; to be honest, his heart was trembling when those twelve gold medals arrived.

Just then, guards rushed into the tent.

"Report! A letter from a secret agent of the Imperial City Guard!"

"Imperial City Division?"

Yue Yifei frowned. The gold medal had clearly arrived, so why were there still people from the Imperial City Guard present?
These people are all the emperor's personal guards, and their sudden arrival is basically due to the emperor's imperial edict.

Is it going to make another mistake?

General Yue Yifei summoned him into his tent.

The next moment, the Imperial Guard stood up straight and took out the imperial edict from his robes.

"General Yue Yi, receive the imperial decree!"

Yue Yifei's gaze sharpened; it was actually an imperial edict!
He hurriedly knelt on one knee and performed the imperial greeting with both hands.

Omit the prefix and fast forward to the end.

Yue Yifei stared intently at the imperial edict. No wonder he had been constantly obstructed outside; it turned out that it was Prime Minister Qin Hui who was behind it!

He thought it was His Majesty's will; it seemed it was time to purge the court of corrupt officials!

This time, His Majesty conspired with him, revealing the whole story, and not a single word could be leaked.

"No wonder that's the case."

Yue Yifei thought for a moment, then shouted to the outside world, "Men! Send 30,000 troops to flank and intercept the Jin army from behind!"

"General, are you about to lead the army into battle?"

The soldiers were overjoyed and their fighting spirit soared!

Yue Yifei nodded: "Once the army has completed its flanking maneuver, we will immediately begin the battle!"

This news can't be kept secret.

Outside the imperial city of Hangzhou, Qin Hui sneered as he read the message sent by his spies.

"Hehe, this is truly heaven's help! Once the great battle begins, Yue Yifei will never be able to return."

But he didn't seem much happier and walked towards the reception room.

"Abbot, are you sure that was a great demon and not an immortal?"

Fahai, covered in tattoos, nodded in agreement.

“I am a monk, and I do not lie. Immortals cannot be demons.”

"The immortal beside the emperor must be a great demon without a doubt."

Qin Hui nodded.

But he was still uneasy: "Abbot, are you sure you can accept it?"

"Of course it can be collected!"

Fahai snorted coldly: "I have already invited the Arhat who subdues dragons. He will arrive soon. When he arrives, you will naturally be able to sweep away the filth and defilement of the imperial city!"

"Good good!"

Qin Hui said "good" three times in a row, and then asked, "When will the Venerable Dragon Subduer arrive?"

Fahai thought for a moment: "One month at most."

January……

Qin Hui gritted his teeth and made the decision: "Then let's take action in a month!"

At the same time, Qin Hui personally wrote a letter and had a secret agent deliver it to the enemy general through the convenient channels between the Southern Song and Jin dynasties.

"Hmph, Yue Yifei, I'll show you what it means to go and never return!"

Qin Hui was a man of extraordinary talent, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time; otherwise, the Zhao family would not have been able to seize the throne.

However, it will be soon, very soon.

Unbeknownst to him, the 30,000-strong army originally sent to flank the Jin army was now galloping back to the capital.

General Yue Yifei personally led the team, and the person left in the tent was just a stand-in.

Meanwhile, the Jin army's spies received the intelligence and reported it overnight, making the Jin army extremely vigilant and searching the entire territory for the army of 30,000 men!

A month has passed quietly.

Chen Zhu sipped the yellow wine in his hand. It didn't taste good; he was just pretending.

Today is the day when countless students take the exam, and numerous government agencies begin to operate. Those students who are labeled as "traitors" are detained as soon as they enter the examination hall.

The examiners changed batch after batch, and finally there were two Imperial City Guard inspectors and one examiner.

This is a lot of pressure.

Any examiner who seemed guilty had cold sweat constantly streaming down their forehead.

Xu Shilin personally visited various examination venues, focusing on reading the exam papers from students from poor families.

This is extremely profound, and even he himself would find it difficult to bear the poetry of countless students from impoverished families.

Fortunately, the Xu family had two demons who helped him recover his energy and observe the exam papers.

Without extraordinary abilities, one simply cannot survive this ordeal.

Meanwhile, Wang Lin and three thousand craftsmen were working overtime in full swing.

Chen Zhu brought the yellow wine; this is where he came from.

Is there anything else you need?
He looked at the rows of machine tools, and in the end, it was he who came up with the solution.

The metal is softened to the point of being like mud, allowing it to be molded at will, and then solidified after completion.

This is like cheating; it directly brought the productivity of the Southern Song Dynasty up to the level of two thousand years ago.

"Boss, I'm almost done here. I can hand it in this afternoon!"

Wang Lin was both surprised and delighted; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

Xu Shilin was a scholar who was well-versed in esoteric texts.

He has martial arts skills, as well as countless resources and subordinates.

"Alright, once it's done, distribute it to the Imperial City Guard to ensure that not a single mosquito can survive in Qin Hui's house."

That afternoon, the Imperial City Guard rushed to Hangzhou and surrounding cities, swiftly suppressing all corrupt officials with ruthless measures.

Everyone had a vague feeling that something was wrong; the officials must have sensed something amiss.

But as soon as they stepped out the door, they were blocked from entering.

The Imperial City Guard led their iron cavalry in a loud shout:
"Anyone who dares to leave the mansion will be killed on the spot!"

At the same time, General Yue Yi decisively seized control of the army surrounding the imperial city, and commanded everything with the emperor's orders and the military tally in his hand.

But at this very moment, Qin Hui's residence was eerily quiet.

He was welcoming the Arhat who subdues dragons.

Suddenly, golden clouds filled the horizon.

Soon after, a giant dragon descended, displaying its divine might.

"Where is the Dragon-Subduing Venerable?"

Qin Hui asked with some doubt, "Could this be the Dragon Subduer Venerable?"

“If the Arhat who subdues dragons has something to do, I will only ask for his mount.”

Fahai clasped his hands together and said, "But don't worry, this is also a Great Dragon Venerable. Subduing a mere demon will be a piece of cake for him."

"Haha, that's right, it's a piece of cake!"

The provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination lasted for a total of seven days.

On the seventh day, the court was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Zhu sipped his hot tea quietly, while Zhao Gou remained silent. The assembled officials bowed their heads in silence, except for Qin Hui, who, since entering, had not moved an inch, nor bowed his head, but stared straight at Zhao Gou.

Luckily, I agreed quickly.

Zhao Gou was extremely relieved, but he was still thinking about the elixir.

My health is getting better every day. Last night I even had sex with several concubines without feeling tired at all.

"Why is everyone so quiet today?"

Zhao Gou looked at his ministers and asked, "My dear ministers, is there anything you are hiding from me?"

The ministers remained silent, and many looked at Qin Hui.

"It seems our Prime Minister has something to say."

Zhao Gou sneered: "Why are you still hiding...keeping it a secret?"

"His Majesty."

Qin Hui suddenly spoke, pointing to Chen Zhu beside him, and said, "Does Your Majesty not know that our palace has already been defiled by sorcerers?"

Wow, he pointed right at a big boss.

Chen Zhu pointed to himself and put down his teacup:

"A demon? Me?"

"Hmph, you fiend, still putting on airs here!"

Qin Hui made a startling statement: "I already learned from the abbot of Jinshan Temple that you are a great demon who has wreaked havoc on the court. Do you think you can get away with it without anyone noticing?"

"Somebody come!"

He shouted, "Take it down now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a number of soldiers rushed in from outside the hall!
"Qin Hui, how dare you!"

An old minister, filled with shock and anger, exclaimed: "Are you plotting a rebellion?!"

"What treason? I'm just cleaning up corrupt officials for His Majesty!"

Qin Hui shouted loudly, "Hurry up and capture that sorcerer!"

After speaking, he stepped back and ordered the soldiers to charge forward.

"Qin Hui!"

Zhao Gou said with deep disgust, "You have disappointed me greatly."

The moment the words fell, the Imperial City Guards, who had been lying in ambush inside the hall, rushed out!
"die!"

"die!"

They stood guard in front of the emperor, their wooden-handled, iron-pipe cannons exploding!

"Crack crack!"

A sound like firecrackers rang out, and a large number of Qin Hui's men were killed.

This startled him, and he hurriedly shouted outside:
"Abbot Fahai, hurry, come help me! There's a sorcerer casting a spell here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud roar was heard:
"The mighty Tianlong!"

The moment the words were spoken, a golden light shot in from outside the hall, knocking down more than half of the Imperial City Guards.

"What a formidable figure! No wonder he's Fahai!"

Wang Lin slapped his hand back, took out a sniper rifle from a pre-prepared box, aimed, and pulled the trigger!

Upon hearing the loud noise, Fahai, who had just flown in, instinctively held his staff in front of him.

He was blasted away by a single shot.

When they got a clear look, they were horrified to find that an iron ball had been driven deep into the staff, almost breaking it.

If that had hit him, he would have been dead already.

"What a powerful demon! It possesses such evil magic!"

Fahai was shocked and furious, and immediately identified it as Chen Zhu's magic.

He decisively picked up the alms bowl:
"Demon, today I will make you reveal your true form!"

"Boom!"

A golden light rang out and spread continuously to Chen Zhu's body, demanding that he reveal his true form!
But Chen Zhu remained unmoved, and his expression turned rather unpleasant when he put down his teacup.

"Fahai, my patience has its limits."

"You damned demon!"

Fahai ignored him completely and shouted to the outside world:
"Great Dragon Lord, quickly help me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon on his shoulder came back to life and blessed the Buddhist teachings!

The alms bowl shone with golden light, and Chen Zhu rose up under that golden light.

"Are you two sure you want me to reveal my true form?"

"Fairy?"

What did Zhao Gou mean by those words?
Isn't an immortal a fairy? This statement reveals his true form; could he really be a demon?

If he had been worshipping a demon, how would later historians have written about him?

Even if he dies, how will he face his ancestors in the afterlife?
"hehe."

Chen Zhu's body swayed, and he transformed into a candle dragon.

When he appeared, the heavens were quiet.

The Great Dragon Venerable who had been blessing Fahai suddenly twitched and fell to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Chen Zhu.

"Dragon Ancestor, Dragon Ancestor, spare my life! Dragon Ancestor, spare my life!"

The suppression among dragons is the most direct and clear; no dragon can remain calm in front of Chen Zhu.

This Great Dragon Venerable was merely a small dragon. Upon seeing Chen Zhu, he was like a meteorite fragment meeting a star—the difference was too great.

"Great Dragon Venerable, you...why..."

Fahai was still somewhat confused, but he could no longer control the alms bowl.

"Crack!" The magical artifact shattered instantly. What dared to touch Chen Zhu's noble body?

Even if he were to appear in his complete form, let alone his complete form, the Great Dragon Venerable would not dare to approach him.

"Crack!"

The tattoos on Fahai's body broke off inch by inch.

"Fahai, Fahai, you have caused me so much suffering!"

The Great Dragon Venerable lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to get up:
"How cruel you are! When you chant sutras and pray, you call yourself a great demon, but why don't you say you are the second ancestor of my dragon clan!"

"The Second Ancestor of the Dragon Clan?"

Fahai was even more confused. What was going on?

"What's going on! What's going on?!"

Qin Hui hurriedly interjected, realizing that something was amiss in the situation.

"You guys should attack him! Hit him! Isn't that a sorcerer?"

“Abbot Fahai, you said that we don’t need Venerable Subduing Dragon to come, Venerable Great Dragon will suffice!”

"Didn't you say it would be a piece of cake?"

"Easy peasy?"

The Great Dragon Venerable trembled more and more on the ground: "Let alone the Arhat who subdues dragons, even if the Buddha himself came, he would have to kowtow to my Second Ancestor of the Dragon Clan!"

He pleaded in fear, "Second Ancestor, Da Long had no intention of offending you. He was deceived by villains. Please spare my life!"

"You are a dragon."

Chen Zhu glanced at him: "Disgraceful thing, being someone's mount."

"Go and face the wall for ten thousand years."

"Yes, Second Ancestor, I'll go right away!"

The Great Dragon Venerable was overjoyed, and after kowtowing, he hurriedly went to meditate facing the wall.

His departure left Fahai and Qin Hui dumbfounded.

Oh no, what's going on?

Zhao Gou was overjoyed.

He thought the immortals were demons, but he never expected them to be dragons!

The Son of Heaven, also known as the True Dragon Son of Heaven.

That's good. Dragons are auspicious beasts, so not only will he not be cursed to death, but he will also leave behind a rich and legendary legacy.

"Help! Help!"

Zhao Gou shouted, "Quickly seize these two villains and execute them by slow slicing!"

"Who dares!"

Fahai suddenly stood up and rushed towards Chen Zhu: "I don't believe it! I don't believe that you, this pretentious bastard, are really the Dragon Ancestor!"

Chen Zhu remained calm, raised one hand high, and then brought it down hard!
He was very casual, but Fahai deliberately brought his face close to it, as if he was deliberately letting Fahai hit him.

"Snapped!"

Fahai was no match for him and was slapped so hard he rolled on the ground.
