I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

"General Shen, those demon kings have always refused to reveal their identities and the purpose of entering the imperial city." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice briefly explained the results of the interrogation to Shen Ao.

"Counting the dead wood demons and those that have not yet been captured, a total of nine demons appeared in the city... From what I can see of their cultivation, the highest is the demon king at the eighth level, and there was no attack during the capture process. The powerful magic weapon that kills the wood demon. Obviously, the last demon is their leader. If they catch the other party, maybe all the doubts will be solved. "

Although Shen Ao is a military commander, he is not a brainless person. Based on the imperial city map and the display on the demon hunting board, it can be roughly inferred that the demon is hiding in the [Drunken Immortal Tower], which is the restaurant where the wood demon was first discovered.

We already knew the location, so why didn't we arrest him right away? We were considering that the opponent was very powerful and we had to take every precaution.

People who go to Zuixian Tower are either rich or noble, and there are many properties of famous nobles in the surrounding buildings. If the demon resists violently and fails to make preparations in advance, it is very likely to cause great losses.

Although catching monsters was to eliminate hidden dangers, and the famous nobles did not dare to complain afterward, but His Majesty entrusted the task to him, Shen Ao naturally strived to do his best and did his best to reduce losses.

The Minister of Punishment is also a smart man and knew Shen Ao's concerns, so he made a suggestion: "How about we escort those demons to the martial arts arena and threaten to kill them to lure them into a trap?"

Shen Ao thought for a moment and shook his head: "The opponent is decisive in killing and can kill the wood demon when he sees that the situation is wrong. Naturally, we can also let those demons be executed. Maybe we don't need to do anything. Before those demons can tell useful information, the opponent will Just start silence.”

"Being silenced shows that the other party is not willing to reveal his identity... could he be from a certain demon clan family?"

"It's not impossible. Deal with it carefully." Shen Ao thought for a while and said his strategy: "It is better for us to take the initiative here than to introduce traps. He has not made any moves now, so he probably doesn't know about us yet. Arrest all his men. Let’s do this. You and I won’t show up for now, let…”

————Zui Xian Tower

Master Peng closed his eyes and practiced in the room. After all, idleness was idleness. But even though he was practicing, he was always paying attention to what was going on around him. For example, right now, a group of soldiers walked into the Zuixian Tower, saying they wanted to ask for clues about the wood demon, and then called everyone away in the lobby on the first floor.

After a while, another group of soldiers came in and called the people on the second floor away.

The number of people in Zuixian Tower gradually decreased, and Master Peng began to feel that something was wrong, because the people who went out never came back.

Is it necessary to ask someone to leave clues?

In any case, if a soldier came to tell him to leave later, he would refuse to leave on the grounds of being unwell, and if he had any questions, he would ask here.

The bustling Zuixian Tower became very quiet, Master Peng stopped practicing, and the feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger.

There are many soldiers gathered around Zuixian Tower. Although they are all golden elixirs and their cultivation is not worth mentioning to him, the number of soldiers is too much.

Have those idiots been exposed?

impossible.

Master Peng is very confident in the shielding object he carries. This is a treasure that can be hidden even in the later stage of Dongxu. The Great Zhou Dynasty now only relies on the formations left by its predecessors and is not as powerful as the late Dongxu. By.

"Are those idiots eating people?" Master Peng was very confused, but he didn't feel any evil spirit leaking out, and there was no big battle at all...

Weird, really weird.

Master Peng was restless, walked out of the balcony, and looked down at the soldiers on the ground.

After seeing the surroundings with his own eyes, Master Peng also found that there were only soldiers left nearby, not even pedestrians, as if the restaurant was surrounded.

"What exactly is going on?"

At this moment, Master Peng noticed two powerful men at the level of gods coming from two directions.

Master Peng was very impressed by Shen Ao, who was wearing golden armor. This human general was very impressed.

Shen Ao was in the north, and the Minister of Punishment was in the south. After the two approached Zuixian Tower, they each waved three Huangtian formation flags. The powerful formation used the soldiers as a guide to cover the entire Zuixian Tower.

This was Shen Ao's plan, to find a reason to take away the guests who might become hostages, limit the scope of the fight to Zuixian Tower, and try not to spread to other places.

Of course, all this is based on the condition that Master Peng does not make any reaction and stays where he is.

Shen Ao admitted that he was gambling on the shielding object carried by Master Peng blindly and confidently; he did not dare to act rashly until he saw his men.

It turned out that he was right.

"Get caught without any help, don't make any unnecessary resistance!" Shen Ao warned Master Peng from above.

Master Peng's face was expressionless, and his eyes were still extremely arrogant: "I don't understand, how did you discover this young master?"

Unlike other demon kings, he was obviously targeted and still pretended to be a human being with a sense of luck.

"Stop talking nonsense, surrender immediately, and tell me your purpose!" When Shen Ao met Master Peng for the first time, he felt that this young man was not simple. He didn't expect that he turned out to be a monster.

"You are not worthy of talking to this young master. Call your emperor." Master Peng left a word and returned to the room. At the same time, a small pagoda flew out of the balcony, gradually grew in size, and floated above the Zuixian Tower.

The pagoda exudes an extremely powerful aura and is undoubtedly a Dongxu-level magic weapon.

Shen Ao could only activate two-thirds of the formation now. The opponent had no intention of fighting at the moment. Shen Ao was a little unsure about his decision for a moment, and then used the sound transmission stone to contact Zhou Suren.

After hearing this, Zhou Suren said he would come over immediately.

They have all taken out the Dongxu magic weapon. Master Peng is definitely from the demon family. He is so powerful. There must be a more powerful existence above him.

Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty subdued Master Peng, they did not dare to do anything to him. In the end, they had to let him go. Then it was better to try to talk to him before the relationship became tense.

Anyone who can become an emperor will naturally not be short-sighted and put the overall situation first in everything. When you meet the protagonist, you will be trapped except for the halo of wisdom.

Not long after, Zhou Suren appeared in front of Zuixian Tower, accompanied by a group of ministers.

The reason why these ministers did not come with Shen Ao before was because too many strong men would alert the enemy if they performed too many tasks. If Shen Ao and the Emperor's Formation Flag could not handle it, the enemy's cultivation level would undoubtedly be abnormal, and it would be useless for them to come here.

Now that His Majesty has personally come forward, they may not be of any use, but they can hold up the scene.

Ye Yong also came, mainly to see who would appear early due to the butterfly effect he triggered. He and Qin Shimeng stood at the back, while Ye Wen stood next to Zhou Suren.

"Come in and talk! Only you, the emperor, are allowed!" Master Peng's arrogant voice came from Zuixian Tower.

Hearing this, the ministers shook their heads and waved their hands: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!" "Who knows what the other party is worried about?" "Your Majesty's safety is the most important!"

Ye Wen glanced at Zhou Suren, and Zhou Suren also looked at him. The two of them had serious expressions and neither spoke to each other. Immediately, Zhou Suren ignored the dissuasion of the ministers and strode into Zuixian Tower.

Ye Yong thought Zhou Suren was quite courageous, and he didn't think he was stupid for doing so. On the contrary, he was very sensible.

The other party obviously does not want to expose his identity, and is unlikely to kill the emperor of the dynasty. Otherwise, when Gui Lao takes action, and with the city defense formation, the other party will definitely stay here. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party will lose his mind temporarily and do something stupid.

In short, now that there was an opportunity to resolve the matter peacefully, Zhou Suren chose to resolve it peacefully rather than by force. Put yourself in danger to prevent the dynasty from provoking the powerful demon clan and causing future troubles.

What a good emperor. When Ye Yong read the novel, he never felt that Zhou Suren was that bad. He just had a different stance. His friend was killed and he wanted to avenge his friend. He was not wrong. What was wrong was that he made a careless friend, and that friend's mistake was that he had a grandson who wanted to die. As for that grandson who wanted to die, he was none other than 'Ye Yong'.
