Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 224 The Serpent
After all, things are not as smooth as they imagined.

Even if Xiao Che really withdraws from the imperial court, the chess game he set up cannot be broken up so easily.

The imperial army was divided into four groups, squatting outside the circle for two days, just when everyone thought the beast would not come, the beast finally showed up.

Wei Yuanping's confidant pointed to the figure gliding forward with his head held high in the distance, with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes.

"This... this... what is this!"

Wei Yuanping glanced at him and lowered his voice: "Don't make a fuss, lest you disturb it."

So he led people to hide aside, burning a weak torch in the dark, and when it was almost there, he could see its true face clearly.

They didn't dare to startle the behemoth in front of them at will. After all, this kind of thing is different from a human being, and it is full of too many uncertainties.

The beast was obviously very hungry, and after making sure that there was no danger around it, it crawled towards the places where the livestock were raised.

Wei Yuanping hid on the beam of the house and saw the beast crawling towards the fence with eyes the size of lanterns.

It's not just snakes anymore.

The pitch-black scales glowed with a strange and icy luster under the moonlight, making them look intimidating.

The most important thing is... there are many small and sharp horns growing on its head, this... this is clearly a flood snake!
According to ancient sayings, a snake turns its horns into a dragon snake, and the dragon snake...is the existence that is closest to a dragon!

But this is just a record, and no one has actually seen it.

Wei Yuanping always thought that this was the exaggeration of his ancestors, but now he realizes that... this is his narrow-mindedness.

Such a big snake, with such a waist...they probably need two or three people to hug it.

Going all out with it is tantamount to hitting a pebble with a pebble.

Not to mention anything else, the scales alone look very hard, and they will make a "rustling" sound when sliding on the ground.

The domestic animals in the circle have already become restless, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. are flapping their wings and trying to escape.

I saw that Jiaosnake pushed its head against the outer fence, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed three or four chickens and ducks into its stomach in one gulp.

Such a big snake naturally eats a lot.

What's more, in order to avoid being discovered by humans, it has restrained its temper and whereabouts very much in the past few days, and now it is really hungry.

Wei Yuanping's eyes almost popped out when he saw the snake eating chicken and duck.

He swears that he has lived for so many years, this is definitely the most shocking scene he has ever seen.

All the forbidden soldiers hiding around also stared wide-eyed.

Where the hell did this... come from? ?

Chickens and ducks screamed one after another, the night was dark, and there was chaos below.

The guards seemed to be able to smell the stench coming out of their nostrils. Fortunately, they were all well-trained, otherwise they might have spit it out on the spot.

After Jiao Snake left, it was almost half an hour later.

It really opened its stomach to eat, almost half of the chickens and ducks were gone.

The bloodstains on the ground and the fluff of various animals clearly spoke of the tragedy that happened here before.

Wei Yuanping hadn't recovered from the shock just now, walked to the front of the circle, and just waved his hand: "Nangong Duling."

Nangong Du Ling is Wei Yuanping's deputy commander.

"Subordinates are here."

"You go to the palace immediately to report this matter, and ask His Majesty to send troops for reinforcements."

Wei Yuanping took a deep breath: "There are a few of you, go to Dali Temple and Fengtian Mansion to explain the situation, and try not to call the people out during this time."

Afterwards, he gave other related orders, and when all the orders were finished, he said, "Go over now."

After all, he is just the commander of the forbidden army, and it is impossible for him to interfere too much in government affairs.

If this is just an ordinary giant python, it's fine, this... this one has horns on its head, isn't it a dragon snake or something? ?

He thought he still didn't have the ability to fight the flood snake.

It's just that he can't figure it out, this snake...is so big, how can it hide without being discovered.

So many of them searched in various caves every day, but they couldn't find any trace of it.

Every time, they could find the flowers and trees that were overwhelmed by its huge body, but for it... there was nothing to do, because every time it would pass through an open area, and they searched everywhere to no avail.

Now, although he has sent someone to follow it secretly, how to deal with it... is still a big problem.

Fortunately, he is just a commander of the imperial army.

Emperor Wen Hui was already asleep, but was hurriedly woken up by the eunuch, who said that Nangong Duling, the deputy commander of the imperial army, had something urgent to report.

If it hadn't been for what the Empress Dowager said before, that Nangong Duling is now theirs, he would definitely not have met him.

Xiao Che also got the news at the same time as Emperor Wen Hui.

It's just surprising that Xiao Che didn't seem surprised by the appearance of the flood snake.

"Just ask them to investigate, there is no need to intervene."

These are Xiao Che's original words.

Speaking of Xiao Che, the members of Xiao Che's party couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Xiao Che was selling in this gourd.

You said that if he is really uncomfortable, he should be cured after he has been ill for so long.

Emperor Wen Hui targeted his party members in the court every day, and now the entire court can be said to be in a mess, and the ministers are miserable.

Although everyone thinks that he should be pretending, but there is no conclusive evidence.

No one believed that Xiao Che would take the situation lightly, stopped and decided to go back to the mountains and forests, and return the power to Emperor Wen Hui.

To be honest, even if Xiao Che really wanted to return the power, the group of ministers below might not agree.

After all, other countries are afraid of the Fengyuan Dynasty, whether it is Emperor Wen Hui or Xiao Che who is afraid of it, everyone knows in his heart.

Before Emperor Wenhui was able to take charge of his own affairs, Xiao Che's delegating power was to send this country into a fire pit.

Xiao Che's departure these days has perfectly explained this truth.

When the common people learn that there are snakes in the capital, they are in danger.

Maybe people are like this, if you tell him that the dragon that appeared in the capital today is actually a dragon, then everyone will not be worried, and they will even happily build an ancestral hall for the dragon, where fresh fruits and vegetables are enshrined every day. livestock.

Of course, the ones they most wish to die are those Miao Jiang women.

As of today, Emperor Wen Hui has not given an explanation to the people.

Regarding the matter of the snake, he has allocated another 5000 people to deal with the snake. It would be the best if he can drive it away. After all, it can grow so big, and the snake must be quite young. Now that it's out, it doesn't harm anyone, it's just to find some animals to eat, maybe it's something difficult.

Moreover, this kind of thing is generally already spiritual, and if you kill it at will, you are afraid of retaliation. If it really doesn't work, kill it again.
