It was already late at night, but Jiangcheng City was still bustling with activity. There were all kinds of bars and night markets, and people came and went.
Looking from afar, the colorful neon lights gathered into a dazzling sea of lights.
At this moment, a man in a white suit and a top hat sat in a BMW.
He did not look old, only in his twenties, but there was a sense of vicissitudes in his eyes, as if he had been through a hundred years.
The man's skin was very fair, so fair that he did not look like a normal person.
At this moment, the man was looking out of the window. His eyes were filled with curiosity, as if it was his first time seeing this world.
"Little Liu, the world has changed so much in the past hundred years!" he murmured to the driver.”
The young driver who was driving said in a feminine voice,""Isn't that what the emperor said?
Last night, this servant saw with his own eyes a big bird that could fly in the sky!
What did they call it in modern times? Airplane!”
"Yes, I am."
The man sighed." What a huge change. Even the Qing Dynasty…has fallen!"
Now, the Qing Dynasty was actually a joke!”
"Lord Wansui, don't be angry."
The young driver respectfully said,"The Qing Dynasty is only temporarily retired. When the Empress Dowager and the army wake up, it will be the day we restore the country."
At that time, everyone in the world would still be citizens of the Qing Dynasty.
Whether it was the car or the iron bird flying in the sky, they all belonged to the Qing Dynasty!”
"Empress Dowager…"
At the mention of this person, the man's gaze was complicated.
"Long live my lord."
"Do you want to continue shopping or go back?" the young driver asked.”
"I'm a little hungry. Let's go back!"
the man ordered.
The car started and drove them to a remote suburb. Then, they crashed into a huge rock.
The car accident that they had imagined did not happen. It was as if they had passed through some barrier and arrived in another world.
In front of him was a palace!
The real palace, Redbud City.
However, it was created using magic.
When the sedan stopped in the palace, countless eunuchs and palace maids immediately knelt down to welcome it.
The young man got out of the car and took off his hat. A long braid hung down.
He came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and changed into the dragon robe under the service of the palace maids.
"Emperor, please have some soup!"
Two eunuchs walked over and poured the bright red liquid into the bowl.""This is the freshest virgin blood.”
"Yes."
The Emperor took a sip with familiarity and then asked,""Where's the food?"
The eunuch knelt on the ground and respectfully said,"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty!"
Recently, the children in the orphanage in the suburbs had been used up.
In these two days, Eunuch Zhao and the others have entered the city to capture people. Presumably, they will be able to bring back the best child hearts and livers for the Emperor to enjoy.”
"I understand. You may leave."
The room fell silent. The Emperor looked at the blood in the bowl and said self-mockingly,""Ever since I woke up, I have to consume the blood of young boys and girls every day to maintain my body from rotting.
Drinking human blood and eating human flesh, am I still considered the Son of Heaven?”
"Your Majesty!"
The young eunuch knelt on the ground.
However, now that they were sick, it was their honor to eat some people to treat their illness!”
The Emperor was silent, his gaze deep.
……
Urban area.
"In the past two days, there have been quite a number of reports in the west of the city.”
"In addition, there were witnesses who said that they saw ghost soldiers passing by on the street from upstairs.”
"The higher-ups suspect that the missing child is related to these ghost soldiers.”
"So, the deputy chief sent us to the west of the city to observe the situation and report it in time if we find anything.”
In a jeep, Chen Zhiyong and Fu Yulu were patrolling in secret.
"It's really a mess!"
"One moment it's the ghost tower, the next moment it's the ghost soldiers. There's no peace!"
Ever since Master Yin Li left Daojiang City, he hadn't rested for a day.
This morning, he went to deal with another haunted hospital.”
"Yes, I am."
"The higher-ups said that there's something that continuously attracts Yin Qi from the surroundings into Jiangcheng City, which is why there are so many supernatural incidents.
He did not know when it would end.”
Just as the two of them were talking, a child's crying suddenly came from an alley. Looking over, Yin Qi was surging and the black fog was thick!
"There's a situation!"
Chen Zhiyong and the woman looked at each other, stopped the car at the same time, and ran over.
They saw this scene from afar.
A zombie eunuch led the way, and the guards dressed in old Qing clothing held down a few children.
At first, these children were still distressed, but they seemed to have been infected by the Yin Qi and quickly fainted.
"This…"
Chen Zhiyong's eyes widened." It's really a ghost soldier from the Old Qing Dynasty. What are they planning to do?"
We can't handle it. Quick, inform the bureau and ask them to send someone over.”
"It's too late."
"If we leave now, won't these children die in vain?" Fu Yulu frowned.”
"But…"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Zhiyong gritted his teeth and said,""Damn it, I'll go back and drive. We don't want to eliminate the ghost soldiers. It's fine as long as we can save the children!”
"Good!"
……
"Eunuch Zhao, we caught a total of six children today. Do you still want to continue?”
A guard in the team of ghost soldiers asked.
Eunuch Zhao, who was leading the red lantern, shook his head."Let's go back. The emperor is probably anxious.
"Moreover, it's best for us to go to other cities to catch children in the next period of time. Otherwise, it'll easily attract the attention of the locals and cause trouble.
The empress dowager and the army have yet to awaken. We only need to protect the emperor. It's enough. It's better not to attract too much attention.”
"Yes, sir!"
The Yin soldiers carried the child and prepared to leave.
"Swoosh-"
A purple light suddenly lashed out, and a guard was sent flying.
Fu Yulu appeared with a bone whip and quickly snatched the two children away.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, an army green jeep stepped on the accelerator and rushed over at full speed, knocking away the remaining ghost soldiers.
The car door opened and Chen Zhiyong waved his hand.""Lulu, quickly, get in the car!
It was impossible to save all of them. Saving one was one!”
"Hurry up and leave!"
Fu Yulu lashed out with her whip again, repelling the Yin soldiers who tried to stop her. Then, she carried the child into the car.
"Damn it, the car…Why did the engine stall?”
Chen Zhiyong, who was in the driver's seat, had an ugly expression. No matter how hard he stepped on the accelerator, the car could not move forward at all.
He turned around and saw a lantern floating in the air. The red light it emitted locked the car.
A eunuch with a ghastly face slowly walked toward the carriage door.
His voice was ear-piercing."I'm in a bad mood today. I can't believe there's a piece of fat meat delivered to my doorstep. It's even a cultivator. It's a great tonic ~"
Not too long ago, Eunuch Zhao had received a monk's gold and silver. He was originally delighted, but he realized that all the gold and silver had turned into sand!
He had been played!
Unfortunately, he had a more important mission to complete, so he couldn't go back and take revenge. He could only put this matter aside for the time being.
Chen Zhiyong and Fu Yulu quickly became dizzy under the illumination of the red light. They lost the strength to resist and watched helplessly as the eunuch easily opened the door!
