The sun rose, and Du Gujue woke up.
Under the breeze of the river, he stretched his body comfortably.
In front of him was a surging river in the morning glow.
As well as the two beautiful women in white in the distance.
In his mind, the system notification sounded:
"Congratulations, host. After eight hours of deep slumber, your True Qi level has increased by 16 levels, and your Vitality attribute has increased by 16 levels.
[Current Level: 10113]
Du Gujue stood up.
The nine Xuan Executioner Emissaries and 100 Xuan Executioner Guards also flashed out from all directions and stood quietly behind Du Gujue.
"The two ladies actually chased me here. Could it be that they like me?”
Du Gujue looked at Wan Wan and Shi Feixuan, who were keeping a certain distance from him, and he said with a playful smile.?
Shi Feixuan remained silent, while Wan Wan smiled charmingly."
"If you are willing to give me the Art of Longevity, then I promise that I will not pester you anymore.”
Hearing Wan Wan's words, Du Gujue laughed out loud happily,"
"Since Miss Wanwan can't bear to part with me so much, Du Gujue will be more than happy to do so.
To be able to admire the beauty of a peerless beauty at all times was something that many people dreamed of.”
After Du Gujue finished speaking, he flew into the sky and used his lightness skill to fly towards Yangzhou City.
"Presumably, that Yuchi Sheng's face should be red with anxiety at this moment.”
In the air, Du Gujue couldn't help but laugh as he muttered to himself.
At this moment, a large number of troops gathered outside the Vast Sea Pavilion.
Yuchi Sheng, the general manager of Yangzhou, personally led three thousand elite soldiers to surround the Blue Sea Tower and the nearby streets.
Outside Yangzhou City, 20,000 soldiers were deployed to search for Du Gujue.
Outside the Vast Sea Pavilion, Dugu Yue, the old servant of the Dugu Family and the manager of Yangzhou's Vast Sea Pavilion, stood with his hands behind his back.
Facing the army that surrounded the Vast Sea Restaurant, his old eyes narrowed slightly and he was not afraid.
Behind him were 200 fully-armed Profound Execution Guards. Each of them had a long saber at their waists and a crossbow in their hands.
There were also hundreds of guards and waiters of the Blue Sea Pavilion, all of them holding weapons and eyeing the others.
Blue Sea Restaurant was a business under Du Gujue's name.
However, it did not mean that it was only engaged in business.
In the Blue Sea Pavilion, from the manager to the accountant, the chef, and the waiter, they all had another identity. They were the warriors, spies, and even killers under Du Gujue!
"The Blue Sea Pavilion has always been law-abiding. Just last year, they contributed 30,000 taels of silver as taxes to Yangzhou. Why did Chief Yuchi send troops to besiege my Blue Sea Pavilion?”
Dugu Yue's gray hair and beard fluttered as he looked at Yuchi Sheng with a slightly angry gaze.
The manager of the Vast Sea Pavilion, who was usually known for being amiable and making money, had a dense aura at this moment. He was actually an expert in the Connate Stellar Energy Realm!
A killing intent appeared in Yuchi Sheng's eyes as he snorted coldly and said,"
"The Blue Sea Pavilion hides weapons and armored soldiers, and even has bows and crossbows that are strictly forbidden by the imperial court.
Not only did the owner of the Blue Sea Pavilion kill the number one expert in Yangzhou, Shi Long, but he also killed the Yangzhou Garrison under my command last night, a fourth-grade military officer of the imperial court!
Why do you think I surrounded Blue Sea Restaurant?”
Although Yuchi Sheng spoke aggressively, he was mainly using deterrence and did not immediately give the order to kill the forces in the Vast Sea Pavilion.
After all, Du Gujue wasn't the only one behind the Blue Sea Tower. Sword Saint Dugu and City Lord Dugu Yifang were also behind it!
Moreover, there were more than 300 people in the Blue Sea Pavilion, and they had hundreds of crossbows. Each of them was a strong martial artist. If they wanted to eliminate all of these people, they would have to sacrifice at least 1,000 soldiers!
"Let Du Gujue come out and plead guilty, and the Blue Sea Pavilion will be spared!”
Yuchi Sheng coldly stated his true motive.
They wanted to force Du Gujue to return to Yangzhou.
As for how to deal with Du Gujue, that was Yuwen Huaji's business. As long as Du Gujue did not die in Yuchi Sheng's hands, he was not afraid of Sword Saint Dugu's revenge.
"Manager Yuchi, Du Gujue is here.”
A bright laughter sounded from behind Yuchi Sheng. Yuchi Sheng's expression darkened at first, but it was soon followed by joy.
He could tell that it was Du Gujue's voice.
In his opinion, his method of besieging the Vast Sea Pavilion was indeed effective!
In the next moment, Du Gujue flew across the sky and landed at the entrance of the Blue Sea Restaurant. His eyes that were as bright as the stars stared at Yuchi Sheng without blinking,"
"I merely went to the riverside outside the city to take a nap, but Steward Yuchi actually had to dispatch such a large force to look for me, it really made me feel overwhelmed by the favor!”
Du Gujue's words made Yuchi Sheng's eyes darken.
Because Dugu Jue's expression didn't seem to be fake.
This made Yuchi Sheng appear to be a little petty and overreacted.
Although both of them knew that Yuchi Sheng had been keeping a close eye on Du Gujue because of the Art of Longevity, they knew that he was not the only one.
But what happened that night made Yuchi Sheng lose all his face.
He had been trying his best to prevent Du Gujue from escaping Yangzhou, but in the end, he realized that Du Gujue had no intention of leaving.
This made Yuchi Sheng's actions of mobilizing troops seem extremely neurotic.
At this moment, all the forces in Yangzhou City, as well as the experts hiding in Yangzhou City, were secretly paying attention to everything around the Blue Sea Pavilion.
Yuchi Sheng's face could be said to have been greatly embarrassed this time.
Since it had already come to this, Yuchi Sheng might as well give it his all.
Moreover, Du Gujue had killed Chen Dao, the garrison of Yangzhou last night. He had violated the laws of the Sui Dynasty!
Therefore, Yuchi Sheng snorted coldly,"
"Men, arrest the sinner Du Gujue!”
Behind Yuchi Sheng, the three thousand Yangzhou armored elite soldiers shouted in unison.
He raised his spear diagonally, bypassing Yuchi Sheng and heading towards Du Gujue.
Counting the days, Yuwen Huaji would arrive in these two days. Therefore, Yuchi Sheng only needed to capture Du Gujue and imprison him for two days before he could complete his mission.
After this, Du Gujue's fate would have nothing to do with Yuchi Sheng.
Looking at the 3,000 iron guards approaching the Yangzhou General Manager's Office, Du Gujue's face showed no signs of panic. There was only a faint smile on his lips and eyes.
"Steward Yuchi, you have great authority. I'm afraid you're not qualified to convict me!”
As Du Gujue spoke, a strong gust of wind rose in front of him.
Thousands of silver lights flickered under the rising sun.
It hovered in front of the three thousand Yangzhou Iron Guards.
It was on the verge of exploding.
Behind Du Gujue, 300 Dark Execution Guards had already gathered.
Twelve of them killed the messenger of Huan Xuan and stood on the left and right respectively.
More than a hundred men from the Vast Sea Pavilion were also filled with killing intent.
Although there were less than 500 of them, their aura was even more terrifying than the 3,000 Yangzhou Iron Guards!
"Gulp."
Yuchi Sheng, who was among the three thousand Iron Guards, had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
At this moment, he felt his throat go dry.
It wasn't the first time he had seen Du Gujue's saber radiance.
But this time, Yuchi Sheng was undoubtedly the closest to Du Gujue's blade energy.
He was afraid!
