Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 70: Smoke and Rose
Are there enemies in the garden?
Strange, why is my [Avoid Danger with Premonition] not working?

Chu Wujiang immediately realized that something was wrong, opened his Yin-Yang eyes, and looked around calmly.

No anomalies were found.

The back garden of the mansion seemed very quiet under the moonlight, with the sounds of insects and birds chirping, but no trace of murderous intent could be detected.

The guards near the flowers were still guarding their positions in various parts of the garden, without any unusual movements.

Chu Wujiang lay on the armchair, continuing to absorb the essence of the moon, pretending that nothing had happened, and quietly asked:

[Chunlu, are you sure? ]

The Snow Girl nodded quickly and said:
[Sir, that person is hiding in the flowers, and seems to be integrated with the trees.]

[If this servant had not just advanced to a fierce ghost, I would probably not have been able to detect the other party. ]

The martial arts in this world are truly magical. They can even merge into trees without getting stuck. But what about the clothes?
Chu Wujiang cursed in his heart. He had just rested for a day, and the whole Longzhou was under martial law. The government and the aristocratic families joined forces to arrest people, and no one could escape.

All the beggars in Longcheng who were even slightly suspicious were locked up in the government jail, which was already overcrowded.

Even if there are still remnants of the Wangui Sect, they should hide. How could they send experts to sneak into the back garden of the Chu family mansion?
[Sir, it doesn't seem to be from the Wan Gui Sect.]

[The main focus of the Wan Gui Sect is the secret arts of the soul. I have never seen such martial arts.]

The Snow Girl said hesitantly:
[How about I go forward and test it out. ]

Chu Wujiang immediately denied it:

【Not urgent! 】

【If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. 】

Chu Wujiang had no plan to leave the back garden immediately, as this would easily alert the enemy and even force them to launch a surprise attack.

So he continued to lie there, relaxing his body, gazing at the bright moon, absorbing the moonlight, and reaching out to call the maid.

"master."

"Prepare a midnight snack for me, and get me a bottle of [Moonlight Nectar] brewed with spiritual rice."

"With such a beautiful view, we should drink and admire the moon."

The maid quickly responded:

"Yes, sir."

"Wait, call Uncle Fu over and have a drink with us."

The maid quickly agreed and walked quickly.

Even an assassin hopes that the enemy will completely let down their guard before they kill him.

It was completely reasonable for Chu Wujiang to invite the old butler over in the name of appreciating the moon and drinking.

At that time, I will hint to the housekeeper, set up a killing spree, and send the opponent to his death.

Chu Wujiang has a good temper, but he believes that he has never done anything that would anger God or people. Yet, these assassination attempts come one after another.

If he is to find an opportunity, he must kill all the enemies.

Soon, the old butler brought a pot of fine wine [Moonlight Nectar]. This wine was different from the wine that ordinary people drank, as it was brewed from spiritual rice.

The normal conversion between wine and rice was three kilograms of rice for one kilogram of wine. In times of famine, the imperial court even ordered a ban on alcohol to prevent large amounts of grain from being brewed into fine wine.

The price of [Moonlight Nectar] is even more exaggerated. It requires 100 kilograms of spiritual rice to produce 1 kilogram of pure wine, which is equivalent to the output of ten acres of fertile land. The price is astonishingly high.

Because [Moonlight Nectar] consumes too much spiritual rice, the imperial court nominally prohibits the brewing of this fine wine.

There are not many bottles in the Chu family's home, and they are all used to entertain guests.

So when the old butler heard that Chu Wujiang wanted to drink this kind of fine wine, he personally fetched it and asked in confusion:

"When does the master like to drink?"

He remembered that Chu Wujiang never drank alcohol.

Chu Wujiang winked, then said slowly:
"Of course, I'm going to treat you to some drinks."

The distinguished guest drinks?

The old butler has been guarding the Chu family for many years and has become an experienced veteran. Upon hearing this, he immediately sacrificed his golden elixir, and a powerful aura immediately filled the garden of the mansion.

The guards in the garden shuddered and gathered towards Chu Wujiang's position. This was also the basic quality of the Chu family's guards.

This chill is the military order.

"Uncle Fu, do it!"

"On the big shame tree!"

Chu Wujiang shouted loudly and jumped up from the armchair. The Snow Girl's spell was ready.

The target is locked on the big tree in front.

The Chu family guards have always been well-trained. They formed a battle formation in an instant and blocked the enemy's escape route from eight directions.

Kill! The blade is raised.

"Master, wait!"

When the old butler saw the big tree that the young master was pointing at, he shouted with a bit of a smile.

But it's too late.

Wind and snow!
The Snow Girl only obeyed Chu Wujiang's orders. She left her body and appeared behind him, breathing cold air at the big tree.

A terrible snowstorm suddenly hit the Chu family's back garden.

Since she was promoted to a fierce ghost, she has been able to inject emotions into ice and snow. The essence of her soul power has been greatly enhanced, enough to reduce the entire garden to ashes.

"Sir, they are our own people!"

The old butler quickly used his eye power to block the snowstorm launched by the Snow Girl.

In a hurry, the blizzard actually broke through the soul power.

[How could the master's spirit become so powerful? 】

[Could it be that he gained some benefits after fighting with the Ghost King? ]

The old butler was shocked.

The figure in the big tree was also startled. She quickly struggled out of the tree, and thanks to the old housekeeper's prevention, she managed to avoid the blizzard.

When the snowstorm blew, the big trees, flowers, and green leaves were instantly frozen and all died.

Even if the ice and snow melt in the future, the vitality of these trees will not be restored.

The Chu family's guards were about to take action, but when they heard the old butler's words, they knew they were in a bad position whether to move or not.

The situation became extremely awkward.

The figure reacted very quickly. She immediately half-knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Gravekeeper Yanluo, I pay my respects to Lord Longcheng."

what?
Chu Wujiang was embarrassed on the spot. It turned out that he had been on guard for most of the day, but it turned out to be an own goal.

The person hiding in the big shame tree turned out to be the gravekeeper who would never show up no matter how hard you wait.

The matter was over and the gravekeeper finally sent someone over.

What does this mean?

Chu Wujiang waved his hand quickly:
[Snow Girl, stop now! ]

The Snow Girl then stopped casting the spell and said somewhat embarrassedly:

【Sir, lord, slave...】

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:
【this is not your fault.】

[Next time you find this situation, you should report it in time. ]

[Yes, my lord. 】

Chu Wujiang finally managed to appease the Snow Girl, and then he turned his gaze to the old butler, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Uncle Fu, why didn’t you tell me such an important thing earlier?

The old butler quickly explained:

"Yanluo just arrived tonight. She said she wanted to see the Master first and then make a formal visit tomorrow."

"According to the agreement between the Chu family and the gravekeeper, this is indeed a common practice."

The gravekeeper was not a servant of the Chu family, but more like an assignment from the imperial court.

They are responsible for guarding the remains of Emperor Wu, and at the same time eliminating evil sects like the Wan Gui Sect who attempt to resurrect the Ghost Emperor.

Chu Wujiang witnessed the power of the Ghost King this time, and he could probably understand that once the Ghost Emperor was resurrected, razing Longzhou to the ground would definitely not be an empty talk.

Therefore, as the earliest noble family to be granted a fief in Longzhou, the Chu family had the obligation to assist the tomb keepers in suppressing the soul of Emperor Wu.

Of course, after hundreds of years of cooperation, the gravekeepers would often help the Chu family and do some dirty work, such as killing people.

This time, Chu Wujiang vented his anger towards the Ghost King on the gravekeepers and finally forced their people out.

The gravekeeper, Yanluo, is very short, has rare short green hair, and looks like an exquisite porcelain doll.

But the porcelain doll can hide in the big shame tree. Either it has a special physique, or it has profound martial arts skills, or both.

Chu Wujiang stared at her for a long time, until Yanluo was a little scared, and then he asked:
"Miss Yanluo, what are you doing here?"

Yanluo quickly said:
"The elders sent me here to protect Lord Long Cheng."

"Please withdraw the impeachment, sir."
