Chapter 1381 - 933: Duanmu Huai Destroys an Emperor with One Hand, Fire is Set in the Golden Palace for the Mandarin Duck Pot
Upon realizing that Chechi Country actually dared to act against him, Duanmu Huai was at first stunned, then instantly comprehended that it must have been the work of those three Immortals—Tiger, Deer, and Sheep.
One has to admit, the stratagem of using another’s hand to kill was truly brilliant. Even Duanmu Huai, the target himself, could not help but applaud the maneuver. It seems these three Fairies actually had some brains, unlike the fools he had encountered before who would stupidly rush headlong into a fight.
Hmm... That is to say, by eating them, would one’s Intelligence +1?
Isn’t it said that you replenish what you consume? Eating the brains of these three Fairy Immortals, perhaps one could also supplement one’s own intelligence? This year, for celebrations, no gifts are being collected ah, but if gifts are to be taken, then it’s brain-nourishing essence... pah pah pah, getting off-topic.
With this in mind, Duanmu Huai shook his head, bringing his thoughts back to the present.
Try it and find out!
In fact, from a general perspective, the Immortals’ idea was not wrong: individuals who subdued Demons and eradicated Devils were indeed formidable, but they would not dare to contend with the Royal Family. In most circumstances, one would either surrender or flee. After all, these individuals are loners without any powerful backers, and clashing with the Royal Family just isn’t worth it. In such situations, most would simply run away, because the mountains are high and the Emperor far; as long as I run far enough, you wouldn’t be able to find me.
But the problem is, Duanmu Huai’s status was not ordinary.
He carried with him the safe conduct authority from Emperor Tang Taizong, Li Shimin, representing the Tang Dynasty! In modern parlance, Duanmu Huai was the Diplomatic Envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
Two nations at odds will not execute each other’s Envoys. Chechi Country and the Tang Dynasty do not have any grudges; yet, they sought to kill a Diplomatic Envoy upon arrival, are they seeking death?!
This is Li Shimin’s Tang Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty during the An Lushan rebellion!
