Chapter 1532: Shock (I want to sleep when winter comes)

Duanmu Huai spent a day in Yangzhou, and then took a boat again, heading towards Luoyang. Originally, the fengshui and mountain scenery were all good. But the wars were everywhere, so they had no interest in seeing the scenery. Even in the city, there were all kinds of drunkenness and dreams, which made people feel boring. So most of the time they stayed in the boat, either "practicing" with Duanmu Huai or doing their own things.

Take Wang Yuyan for example, because Duanmu Huai always complained that they couldn't cook, so Wang Yuyan also started to learn cooking at this time. Every day, apart from practicing, she basically studied cooking and dishes. She read a lot of books since she was young, and she also knew some recipes in ancient records. Wang Yuyan didn't have any special hobbies before, but now she seems to have gradually fallen in love with cooking and started to learn how to cook.

Xiaolongnu is very interested in music. She has been learning the piano since she was young, which can be regarded as a hobby. Unfortunately, there were no musical instruments on the yacht, so Duanmu Huai bought Xiao Long Nu a guqin and some music scores from the mall, and Xiao Long Nu would burn incense and play the guqin at the bow in her spare time as a pastime.

Duanmu Huai didn't understand music, but Xiao Long Nu was obviously gifted and had a high level of musical attainments. She could understand those music scores as soon as she saw them, and could master them as soon as she practiced. Duanmu Huai thought it was good, so he let her go. Anyway, there were all kinds of symphony and rock music on the yacht, which sounded awkward in this era and background, but Xiao Long Nu's guqin sound was quite suitable.

But the river was not a mountain road after all, and there were many people coming and going. Especially now that there was chaos and war, there were bandits and fleeing soldiers everywhere, and it was relatively safe to take the river. Therefore, many ships passed by Duanmu Huai and others along the way, but most of the ships knew the rules and did not dare to offend. Some saw the yacht and shouted for the immortal boat to bless them.

Of course, most ships would not get too close to the yacht to avoid offending the immortals. People who make a living on rivers and seas are the most superstitious. For them, being able to see the fairy boat is already a great fortune, but if they offend the immortals, they would be courting death.

But unfortunately, there are always people who seek death.

On this day, everyone went along the river and happened to have a palace next to it. For Duanmu Huai and others, there was nothing to see in such a palace, so they just looked at it and passed by.

However, they did not know that the palace was the Linjiang Palace built by Emperor Yang Guang. At this time, Yang Guang happened to be having fun in the Linjiang Palace. Suddenly, he heard the resonance of the piano, which was like the sound of immortals. He followed the sound and saw the fairy boat passing by in the river. At the bow of the fairy boat, a girl in white was burning incense and playing the piano. She was seen wearing white clothes and her skin was whiter than snow, like a fairy.

Yang Guang was even more stunned. He just stood on the observation deck and stared at the fairy boat until the latter disappeared, and he did not come back to his senses.

At this moment, the eunuchs Yu Shiji and Fei Yun on the left and right of Yang Guang also knelt down hurriedly and shouted long live.

"Your Majesty is wise! The appearance of the fairy boat is a good omen!"

"Yes, a good omen!"

Hearing the words of the ministers around him, Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

"Fairy... That's a fairy!!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Yang Guang's words, everyone was stunned. They also saw Xiaolongnu's peerless elegance, and her temperament was indeed out of this world like a fairy. But everyone just looked at it, and didn't expect Yang Guang to think further and be bolder.

"Come here!"

At this moment, Yang Guang also came to his senses and shouted loudly.

"Prepare the boat immediately, I want to go to the fairy in person! The fairy appeared in front of me, which is a great opportunity. If I miss this opportunity, I am afraid that I will never be able to become a fairy again!"

"This........."

Hearing Yang Guang's order, the ministers below looked at each other. They knew that Yang Guang was obsessed with seeking the fairy, but most people were half-believing and half-doubting about the fairy thing, so at this moment, some people bit the bullet and spoke to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, the origin of the immortal boat is unknown and its whereabouts are strange. Your Majesty is the emperor, how can you take risks? Why don't we go and investigate and report back to your Majesty."

"Nonsense!"

However, Yang Guang obviously would not listen to his ministers' warnings.

"The immortal fate has appeared, and I can only seek immortality in one night. If you delay the immortal fate, you will all lose your heads! Quick, prepare the boat, and set off!!"

There are many similar legends in folk tales, such as some immortals send down opportunities, but some people don't know how to cherish them, don't respond in time, and eventually lose the opportunity. Yang Guang asked for immortals every day, and of course he heard similar stories a lot, and he was furious at this time. Although others thought this matter was strange, Yang Guang insisted, and even his favorite ministers could not convince Yang Guang to change his mind, so they could only bite the bullet and accept the order.

In fact, with the speed of Duanmu Huai's yacht, it was not difficult to get rid of the warship, but unfortunately they didn't know about this matter, so the yacht was only moving at half speed. It was not until several warships appeared in front and behind that Xiao Longnu realized that something was wrong and hurried over to inform Duanmu Huai.

"Are you looking for trouble with us?"

Hearing Xiao Longnu's announcement, Duanmu Huai was also stunned, and then stood up from the hot spring. Looking at Duanmu Huai's sturdy upper body, Xiao Longnu's face was slightly red and she lowered her head. Although Duanmu Huai had been to the hot spring more than once or twice, this time was different from the past. However, looking at that sturdy body, Xiao Longnu couldn't help but think of the scene when she was "practicing", and she was naturally very shy.

"Hey, this is really interesting. I want to see who is so bold as to come and cause trouble for us."

Duanmu Huai walked out of the hot spring and snapped his fingers. The next moment, black flames rose out of the sky, evaporating the water droplets on Duanmu Huai's body and covering him with a set of clothes. Then Duanmu Huai walked up to the upper deck and looked up. Sure enough, he saw that the front and rear were tightly blocked by battleships. Duanmu Huai looked up and sneered.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be the Royal Fleet. It seems that we really encountered something interesting this time."

"Huh? Royal family?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, not only Xiao Longnu was startled, but also Wang Yuyan who came in a hurry.

"We have nothing to do with the Nanzhou royal family, why do they want to cause trouble for us?"

"Who knows, it will be clear when they come here."

Although the opponent has dozens of warships, to Duanmu Huai, they are nothing more than local chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning. So Duanmu Huai slowed down the speed of the yacht and allowed these warships to come forward and surround them. Soon, a man in a yellow robe was seen walking out of one of the large ships and saluting Duanmu Huai and others from afar.

"Yang Guang has met the Supreme Immortal Master!"

Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnu were both a little surprised when they heard what the other party said, and Duanmu Huai even raised his eyebrows. He thought that this was sent by the emperor, but he did not expect that the emperor would dare to come here in person.     Is this guy dying? So brave?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also snorted coldly.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the officials below Yang Guang also showed angry expressions. After all, Yang Guang is also the king of a country, but now he is being treated so poorly. In other places, he would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago. However, Yang Guang didn't take it seriously and continued to speak.

"I have always sought immortality and longed for immortality. Today, by chance, I met the immortal boat here. Therefore, I came here specially to ask the immortal master to enlighten the immortality."

After hearing this, Duanmu Huai and others realized why the other party was chasing them here. They were speechless and looked at each other with a wry smile. Duanmuhuai sneered and said.

"You, Yang Guang, do have some merits, but you conquered Goryeo three times and lost three of them. The people everywhere were in dire straits and rebellions broke out. As an emperor, instead of doing your best in state affairs, you were intoxicated every day. You know that you are greedy for pleasure, no matter whether you are a person or a human being. You are not qualified to be an emperor. Do you still want to become an immortal? Go ahead and pursue your dream."

Duanmu Huai's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone around him. Many soldiers secretly agreed after hearing this. After all, they also knew that this foolish king was not a good person, but they were too frightened by the emperor's power to say anything. Seeing Yang Guang in front of everyone, being scolded by the immortal master, he felt extremely happy.

Yang Guang, on the other hand, looked pale. Ever since he favored the treacherous minister, he had only heard praises and praises for his virtues. He had never been pointed at his nose and yelled at in public. Not to mention that when Yang Guang heard Duanmu Huai say that he had no chance of immortality, he was even more anxious and angry. He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the shocked officials around him hurriedly came up to help him.

"Bold monster!"

When Yu Shiji saw Yang Guang's appearance, he was also shocked and shouted hurriedly.

"What kind of monster dares to pretend to be a ghost and talk nonsense in front of the Holy Master! Come on, take down these evil demons!"

Following Yu Shiji's order, the war drums roared soon, and at the same time, the warships began to turn and prepare for battle.

"hehe."

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai chuckled and looked at the two women.

"Look, people are like this. They only want to believe what they believe. When they think you can bring benefits to them, they become the supreme immortal master. When they think you are harmful to them, they become evil demons." To be honest, I quite like this kind of flexible moral bottom line, but unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what they say..."

"Are we leaving then?"

Wang Yuyan asked, with the strength of three people, it was easy to break through the encirclement, but Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"It's not me who wants to leave, it's them who leave. Just kidding. If we run away, won't we lose face? Look at me!"

While he was talking, Duanmu Huai suddenly jumped up and rushed straight into the air like a cannonball.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the surrounding warships were also shocked, and Yu Shiji was even more afraid that the other party would cause trouble for him, so he hurriedly issued orders.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!!"

For a moment, thousands of soldiers on the surrounding warships were seen bending their bows and setting arrows, aiming at Duanmu Huai in the air and releasing them. For a moment, the sky was filled with arrows. Under such circumstances, even the Nanzhou Grandmaster could not escape unscathed.

But obviously, this is not a problem for Duanmu Huai.

"It's just a small skill, nothing more than that!"

Duanmu Huai, who was in the air, looked at the rain of arrows shot towards him and snorted coldly. Then he clenched his fists and blasted downwards with all his strength!

“————————!!”

But the moment Duanmu Huai blasted out his fists, the overwhelming rain of arrows turned into dust, and then the unparalleled powerful impact roared down. Several warships surrounding the yacht seemed to be swept away by invisible giants. It was like a hammer falling from the sky, and the whole thing was smashed into pieces.

Only one or two ships, either because they were unwilling to help others, or because they were worried about offending the immortals, did not launch attacks in accordance with Yu Shiji's orders, and they escaped.

Then, Duanmuhuai fell from the sky and landed heavily in front of Yang Guang.

"boom!!"

As Duanmuhuai fell down like a boulder, the hard deck exploded and shattered under his feet. Yang Guang was now pale and collapsed to the ground. Next to them, Yu Shiji and Fei Yun were sweating profusely and shouting.

"Escort! Escort!"

However, no matter how they shouted, the imperial guards and royal masters looked at Duanmu Huai and did not dare to act rashly. The opponent blasted dozens of warships with one punch. This kind of power has long exceeded the limit of human imagination. Even the four great masters are afraid that they don't have this ability. Even a warship is not an enemy with one punch. Are you and others going to die on it?

Not to mention that Yang Guang is not a virtuous king, and there are not many people who are willing to sacrifice for him...

Duanmu Huai walked up to Yang Guang. At this moment, the latter's face was pale and he collapsed on the ground, shaking uncontrollably. Looking at him, Duanmu Huai also shook his head.

"To be honest, you were a wise man at the beginning. Although many people died in building the canal, the contribution is to the present and will benefit the future. Unfortunately, after that, you became more and more confused. At this point, there is no cure. Save. I didn’t intend to cause trouble to you, but if you are stupid enough to come to me yourself, then I can only blame you for your bad luck.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, Yang Guang also had a complicated expression. However, before he could say anything else, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, grabbed Yang Guang's head, then pulled hard, and forcefully pulled it. Yang Guang's head was torn off his body!

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked. Although they also guessed that Yang Guang would not end well, seeing this scene with their own eyes still felt like a dream and extremely shocking.

The emperor has passed away!
