LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
441. Marshal Dugu Zhantian
At the gate of the imperial capital, the,
Marshal Dugu was sitting on his big horse and entering the city with his five godchildren. Millions of powerful soldiers stationed ten miles.
The news of Dugu Zhantian's return, the second of the Four Pillars to the court, was immediately on the lips of every citizen!
“Your Majesty, Marshal Dugu is looking for an audience!”
“Log in!”
In the golden palace of the imperial capital, the emperor was sitting on a luxurious throne. Next to him was the man who often played chess with him, Mr. Sima.
Dugu Zhantian walked in with big strides and bowed, “Dugu Zhantian greeted His Majesty. May your longevity and well-being!”
“Ha-ha-ha, Marshal Dugu has come from far away. You must be tired, please sit down! ” While chuckling, the emperor walked up to Dugu Zhantian and helped him to the chair.
Any man would feel very grateful and honored. But Dugu Zhantian took it as a fact.
After all, he was an imperial pillar. Wouldn't a man like him receive at least this much from the emperor?
“Dugu Marshal, how is the situation in Windgaze City?” Dugu Zhantian had just sat down and the emperor had already started asking.
Dugu Zhantian sighed, “I'm worried, the situation is bad. I had rushed to the rescue as per the imperial decree but I was late.
Windgaze City has been under a terrible battle, in which the Tan clan lost a hundred thousand people .. “
Pffs!
Watching Dugu Zhantian speak with such a serious tone, the emperor's heart sank.
Then he heard him mention the ‘loss’ of the Tan clan and spurt blood.
“Dugu Sect, how could a third-rate clan like the Tan clan have a hundred thousand people?”
The emperor cried out, then cursed inwardly. 'Even I, who was rarely outside the palace, knew it. Why don't you have common sense!', “Marshal, did you see it for yourself?”
“Eh, no, actually. But when the servant of the Tan clan reported it, I also felt strange .. ”
“The waiter is Tan Wen Hong!” The emperor's face twitched.
Of course he is again. The boy was nothing but a problem. Talk about so many victims as if it was the order of the day.
Dugu Zhantian nodded, “Your Majesty is wise. It was Steward Tan Wen Hong who told me about the casualties of the Tan clan.
I am also skeptical in trusting this man's careless talk. How could a small clan have so many people?
Even the seven houses did not have so much. But the losses of the Tan clan were indeed great in that battle, even their Clan Head became a victim!”
The Emperor held his head and sighed, “Marshal, Clan Head Tan has been dead for almost three years now ..”
“What?!” Dugu Zhantian was surprised, then he turned red.
Damn those bad boys, they're playing me! But that's not the problem here. The problem was that they fooled me in front of the emperor.
The Emperor shook his head, knowing that he had been bitten, “Already. Please tell me what you can about the Tan clan, Marshal. ”
Dugu Zhantian was startled, then lowered his head in embarrassment.
From the moment he entered the Tan clan, all he heard was from Tan Wen Hong's mouth, not having the time to conduct his own investigation.
And when it came to reporting, Tan Wen Hong's words didn't look right now. He realized that he knew almost nothing about the Tan clan!
Seeing his miserable state, the emperor did not know whether to laugh or cry,
“Forget it!” Emperor sighed, “Are Tan Yunhai and Tan Yunchang of the Tan clan alright?”
“Uh, they're fine!” Dugu Zhantian spoke.
“Then what about Captain Pang Yi, their elder Lei Yuntian and his goddaughter Lei Yuting ..”
Dugu Zhantian began to answer all the emperor's questions about the higher-ups of the Tan clan.
In the end the emperor nodded, “Because they are fine, the Tan clan has not suffered any losses!
But this clan is truly capable, to remain standing despite the ever-vigilant spies of the Regent Estate and the Valley of Hell!”
“Eh, Your Majesty, outside of Blackwind Mountain, where the Tan clan is located, there are four 5th class Formation arrays placed by the Clan Chief.
A normal expert would have trouble infiltrating!” Dugu Zhantian added.
The Emperor raised an eyebrow, then sent a shocking glance to Mister Sima,
“Tan Wen Hong's son is getting impressive. I heard he could set up an array, but never imagined he could set up four that were 5th class! ”
“What, it was done by Tan Wen Hong?” Dugu Zhantian shouted.
Sighing, the emperor only glanced at the old man, though,
'What are you doing in Windgaze City? I'm asking you here to give me a report, but why am I explaining things to you?' think emperor
The Emperor continued, “Klan Tan lost everything, even their Clan Head three years ago, leaving only brothers, servants, and Captain Pang Yi. The current Tan Clan had been brought by Tan Wen Hong. And this kid..”
The emperor began to recount his actions
It was Tan Wen Hong who was making trouble throughout the empire.
After he was done with the mess he left behind in the Drifting Flowers Edifice, he added, adding,
“This kid is a rare talent, but it's a pity he's too volatile. He made me love him and hate him at the same time.
"The matter of the Tan clan is because of him. But he was also the one who made the Tan clan stand tall.
I just don't know if this strange servant is a blessing or a catastrophe for the Tan clan!”
Flashing, Dugu Zhantian fell silent. He had never considered Tan Wen Hong to be an array master! As for all the actions he took, Dugu Zhantian did not care.
Damn, what soldier did not do the stunt? Skills are the most important! I should have him in my camp.
Dugu Zhantian's mind has been set!
“By the way, Marshal, is there anything else you want to report?” The emperor had no hope at this moment, but still asked.
Dugu Zhantian rushed to say, “Yes, it involves evidence of the Valley of Hell and two other houses to attack the Tan clan.
Please make a decision, Your Majesty. These three houses have tried to break into Windgaze City while I was there!”
Dugu Zhantian took out three jade slips. The emperor's eyes sparkled and laughed, and,
“With this proof I will finally defeat them! Did you see Regent Estate there too?”
Dugu Zhantian shook his head, “Among the group of hosts of the seven houses I saw in Windgaze City, none of them were from Regent Estate!”
“I understand. My cousin would love to hide all traces. He must be planning something dangerous!”
Throw away three jade slips, the emperor barked, “Huh, I will use these three houses as proof of my strength. Let everyone see who the real ruler of this country is.”.
