"The trembling sound of a gong came from the distant entrance, followed by the solemn music getting closer and closer. The Emperor of Da Qi had truly arrived.
Before Li Huowang could react, the official next to him, who was drinking vinegar from a dish, suddenly stood up with a pale face and rushed towards the entrance in a panic.
When Li Huowang arrived in the courtyard outside, he saw everyone, including the so-called Qin Lao and Liang Da Ren, kneeling on the ground.

The music grew closer, accompanied by a strong fragrance. The round top of the Emperor's carriage slowly emerged from the tall walls.
With the approach of the procession, followed by the four pillars adorned with red cloud dragons and black cloud dragon feather patterns, the entire wooden building was tightly surrounded by the embroidered curtains.
Li Huowang thought it was over, but he didn't expect the Emperor's carriage of Da Qi to become higher and larger. It seemed endless. The things piled on top of it also increased, lanterns, dragon flags, round jade decorations, rings, bells, and densely packed fabrics that covered the entire building.
With the solemn music, this huge and magnificent wooden building, which was top-heavy, came closer and closer. In the eyes of Li Huowang and others, it appeared larger and filled with an oppressive feeling.
In the dim environment, it looked like a giant, bloated dead infant, looking down at everyone in the Liang Mansion.
At this moment, the fragrance emanating from the Emperor's carriage became stronger and almost suffocating.
Just as Li Huowang walked to Zhuge Yuan's side to say something, a childish voice suddenly came from behind the layers of curtains.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people kneeling on the ground turned extremely pale, and some weak-willed individuals almost collapsed to the ground.
"What are you playing? Take it out and let me play!"
As he spoke, a young boy wearing a golden-black dragon robe and a crown on his head revealed his head from behind the layers of curtains.
This scene was extremely strange, just like the huge and magnificent wooden building in front of them, it was as if the massive body belonged to this tiny head.
As soon as Li Huowang saw him, he immediately knew that this was definitely not a child. No six-year-old child would look at people so nakedly.
It was as if he was not looking at a person's surface, but at their flesh and bones.
Looking at this thing in front of him, a faint confusion arose in Li Huowang's heart. "Is this really the distorted form created by Zhuge Yuan? It seems too real."
At this moment, the eunuchs suddenly noticed the two people standing abruptly in their original positions, and they became furious. "How dare you! The Emperor has arrived, why aren't you kneeling!"
When Li Huowang glanced at Zhuge Yuan, Zhuge Yuan also looked at Li Huowang.
Without hesitation, Li Huowang immediately took out two pieces of yellow paper and quickly drew talismans on them with his fingertip.
After finishing the drawings, Li Huowang stuck them on the sides of his legs and took out the Purple Tassel Sword, rushing towards the huge carriage of the fake Emperor of Da Qi with a blur of afterimages.
"You have been deceived! This Emperor is fake! It's the Taoist sects of Zuo Wang Dao impersonating him!" Li Huowang's shout exploded in the room like thunder.
Just as Li Huowang was about to take action, the surrounding eunuchs quickly formed a wall, blocking him.
At this moment, Zhuge Yuan's expression became unusually serious. He flipped his hand and placed an old yellowed imperial calendar, about the size of two palms, on the ground.
Then, he took out a white wolf hair brush from his sleeve, raised his hand, and waved it left and right in the dark sky. The night sky turned black where the brush tip passed.
With the faint starlight on the brush, it fell vertically and wrote on a page of the old calendar, "Year of Yi Hai, Gui Mao, beware of false pretenses, beware of disguise and deception!"
As the brush tip left the paper, the written words were also taken away from the old calendar.
With the brush tip's touch of black returning to the night, it also took the yellow characters into the pitch-black sky.
Immediately, the expression of the little Emperor and the faces of some accompanying eunuchs began to distort, and the expressions of the eunuchs became very confused.
"Good! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Li Huowang, seeing this, did not hesitate to take out a pair of pliers and clamp them forcefully in his mouth, scattering several teeth like a shower of flowers.
At this moment, several leaf cards suddenly flew out of the ground and pierced into Li Huowang's abdomen.
But there was no trace of blood coming out of Li Huowang's abdomen, and his whole body was inserted diagonally into the ground. For a while, these eunuchs couldn't find him.
When they regained their senses, they found that the red-robed Taoist had already jumped towards the Emperor's carriage with a powerful push from the eaves.
Li Huowang's bloodshot eyes stared at the face of the approaching child, and the hatred and killing intent in his heart almost consumed him.
As Li Huowang wiped himself with a fire sickle, the surging flames instantly covered his newly healed skin, causing intense pain all over his body. He looked up and screamed, "Who the fuck are you!"At this moment, Li Huowang was like a burning kite, illuminating the entire dim sky, and the air was instantly twisted by the intense heat.
Seeing such a strange man, the emperor impersonated by the Taoist sects that deceive beings quickly retreated into the curtain.
But it was a bit too late to hide. As soon as Li Huowang in the sky hit the curtain, the raging flames instantly enveloped the entire bloated wooden building. Thick black smoke billowed upwards, carrying with it faint screams.
"Come out! Where did you go!" Li Huowang searched in the flames.
Just then, a shadow flashed past the distant curtain and rushed towards the outside of the wooden building.
"Trying to run?!" Li Huowang quickly took the rib bone handed over by the black tentacle, crossed his hands and stabbed it into his own abdomen. All creatures within dozens of feet around him felt the same pain as Li Huowang.
The distant shadow immediately let out a scream and fell into the fire.
When Li Huowang, who was on fire all over, endured the pain and walked to his side, and just turned the person over, he found that there was only a burning shadow puppet inside.
