"Alright, go away, stop showing off here."

Chun Xiaoman held the bamboo pole in her hand and pushed away the show-off dog, walking up to the person on the verge of collapse. After considering her words for a while, she slowly asked, "Why did you come to our village? Why do you kill people as soon as you see them? When did we offend you?"

Faced with Chun Xiaoman's question, the person quickly spilled everything they knew, afraid that if they were too slow, the rope would be around their own neck.

"We were driven out by those soldiers on horseback. We ran out of food on the way to escape, so we followed the witch's orders and found a village far from the government office to find food. It turns out that your village is the farthest from the county."

"Soldiers on horseback?" Chun Xiaoman was completely confused by the person's nonsensical words. So they came to Niu Xin Village for trouble, but there was no special reason?

"Who are you guys? Why did the soldiers from Da Liang drive you away?"

"We are followers of the Fa Jiao!" As soon as this was mentioned, the follower of the Fa Jiao immediately calmed down a lot, raising his chin high as if this name had some kind of power supporting him.

"Do you think there is still justice and reason in this? There are so many people surnamed Buddha and immortals! They never even spare a glance, why do those dogs of the court have the right to look down on us surnamed Yu'er Shen?"

"Hmph! I've already told the great witch who can communicate with Yu'er Shen! Don't think that those dogs of Da Liang are invincible! They are like grasshoppers after autumn, they won't be able to jump for long!"

"It was just recently. Yu'er Shen manifested! That night was Yu'er Shen's divine power! In the future, he will completely manifest on earth! Hmph! When that happens, our Fa Jiao will be the state religion! People from our Fa family will take turns being the emperor! No taxes, no labor! Feasting on fat meat every day!"

"What nonsense is this person talking about? Has he gone crazy?" The dog child looked at the person with a puzzled expression.

The dog child couldn't understand, but Lv Zhuangyuan, who was knowledgeable, saw some clues.

"Oh no, these guys are not robbers on horseback! These guys are rebelling against Xian Wang!" He anxiously slapped his thigh.

"It's over, it's over. We ran so far just to escape the disaster of war, but we're about to face chaos again!"

"Rebellion? Just based on those useless people?" Lv Xiucai said disdainfully, but when he thought of that strange woman, his disdain gradually disappeared from his face.

They couldn't understand the other words, but everyone present understood the word "rebellion". In their impression, rebellion represented war, death, and famine.

With a nervous expression, Chun Xiaoman quickly squatted in front of the person and asked, "Are there many followers of your Fa Jiao?"

"Of course! At least hundreds of thousands in the entire Jiangnan region! And everyone under the sky is a citizen of Yu'er Shen! It's just that some people have awakened earlier, while others have not!"

"You guys are the same! I advise you to surrender early and submit to our Yu'er Shen!"

Although this statement sounded like self-praise, it still silenced everyone present.

Zhao Wu's face looked a bit ugly as he said, "We killed so many of them, won't they retaliate against us?" No one could answer this question, everyone's hearts were burdened with a stone.

"Don't panic, Li Shixiong has taken Miao Miao away for some time now, they should be coming back soon."

This statement instantly improved everyone's complexion. In their eyes, Li Huowang was like a god.

As long as he was here, this rebellious Fa Jiao was not worth mentioning at all.

"Miss Chun, I think we should stock up on more food. We can't afford to worry about the autumn harvest. If this world is really going to be chaotic, then food will be our lifeline." The experienced Lv Zhuangyuan was thinking a few steps ahead of everyone else.

"Yes, Zhao Wu, take out some gold as well. Let's fill up the granary first! We'll discuss other matters in detail when Li Shixiong comes back."

"Zhi Jian, arrange for a few militia soldiers to take turns guarding at night, just like we did on the road. It would be best to bring two dogs as well! They can see things that others can't see."

With Li Huowang absent, the others began to act under Chun Xiaoman's command. Although the natural leader, Gao Zhijian, was more suitable, he had a stutter.

When Niu Xin Village was brightly lit, in the capital city, the wooden door of Li Huowang's small courtyard was knocked. "Is Mr. Er at home?"

Li Huowang, who was having a nightmare, suddenly woke up, and his hand subconsciously gripped the weapon under his pillow.

"Is Mr. Er at home? Please open the door, my master has a request."

Listening to the night watchmen's calls a few streets away, Li Huowang realized that it was only the third watch of the night. He didn't know many people in the capital city, so who would come to find him in the middle of the night?

"Li Shixiong, there are twelve people outside the door, and there's a big sedan chair." Miao Miao whispered about everything outside.

"Get dressed and pack your luggage, wait on the second floor. If the visitors are not friendly, we'll kill them and leave the capital quickly under the cover of night!" Li Huowang put on a red Taoist robe and hid the Zisui Sword behind him, walking towards the courtyard gate.

Just as Li Huowang was fully focused and about to reach for the wooden door latch, the face of the skinless Red suddenly emerged from the latch. "I took a look for you. The one calling is a eunuch."

Li Huowang's eye twitched slightly. He reached into the faceless head and gently pulled, and the courtyard gate opened.

Li Huowang's keen sense of smell immediately caught a mixture of fragrance and the smell of urine. Red was not wrong, the fat, beardless old man in front of him was indeed a eunuch.

What surprised Li Huowang even more was that the old eunuch was holding a very familiar jade cat in his arms."Hehehe~ Greetings, Lord Erjiu." The old eunuch, holding the jade cat, bowed deeply to Li Huowang, his voice filled with flattery. "Please, get in the palanquin. My master invites you to his mansion for a chat."

It seemed that the young emperor had remembered him, a minor character, after regaining his strength.

As Li Huowang sat in the palanquin, which was as large as a small house, eight robust bearers lifted it simultaneously, carrying him towards the imperial palace of Daliang.

Despite being carried by eight people, the ride was incredibly smooth, giving Li Huowang the feeling of being in a carriage. He had experienced the highest level of palanquin, the eight-bearer grand palanquin.

When the palanquin entered the jujube-red giant wall, it did not stop but continued towards the sleeping quarters of the Emperor of Daliang. Only when they reached the entrance of the sleeping quarters did they slowly tilt the palanquin, inviting Li Huowang to alight.

The sleeping quarters had a golden roof and red doors. The golden glazed tiles shimmered silver under the moonlight. On the similarly shimmering silver ridge of the roof, there was a row of glazed beasts, each wearing a mask unique to the Emperor of Daliang.
