Duguyue looked at the young man Pang Wu who saluted respectfully to him, but did not make any response. Instead, there was a trace of cold murderous intent in his eyes.
If he were not in the palace at this time, and the other party was the commander of the guards sent by the emperor to greet him, and finally, although the other party exuded an arrogant and superior temperament, he did not show any disrespect to himself, I am afraid that Du Gu
Yue already took action without hesitation.
Because in Dugu Yue's eyes, the red karma refining on Commander Pang's body could no longer be described as profound. It was as if he was born from red karma, which made Dugu Yue feel terrified.
How many innocent people must have been killed to have such a strong karma? I'm afraid those demons who take pleasure in killing people can only do this.
However, in addition to being a little fearful, Duguyue also felt greedy in her heart. She wondered if she could kill him, and whether her God-Slaying Sword would be able to improve to another level.
After the salute, when no one responded, Pang Wu, the third commander of the Young Guards, looked up in confusion.
At this glance, he saw Dugu Yue staring straight at him. There was no joy or sadness in his eyes, and there was no emotion in them. It didn't look like he was looking at a living person at all, just like he usually looked at something.
Like inanimate things.
Fortunately, Duguyue sensed Pang Wu's change, so she hid her emotions in time and put away her murderous intention, otherwise she would definitely be noticed.
It was only then that Duguyue said softly, "Hmm", and then said indifferently: "Commander Pang, please help me lead the way to see His Majesty."
"Yes, this is the holy order given by His Majesty. Your subordinate, Pang Wu, dare not disobey it." Although Pang Wu's attitude was respectful, he showed an arrogance that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Looking at Commander Pang's words and deeds, they are not from the pool. He should not be from the Rock Kingdom." Dugu Yue asked seemingly unintentionally.
Pang Wu did not doubt what Dugu Yue meant, and responded very naturally: "Master Du is too praised. It is true that I am not a native of the Rock Kingdom, but I owe this position to your majesty's appreciation and promotion. I can't get it."
It’s even more worthy of Master Du’s praise if he goes to the elegant hall.”
When Pang Wu faced Dugu Yue's questions, he responded fluently, without any flaws to be found.
However, Duguyue did not give up and continued to ask: "To be appreciated by His Majesty is also where Commander Pang's own ability lies. Commander Pang does not need to be overly humble. I don't know how long Commander Pang Wu has been in Rock Kingdom."
In this way, Dugu Yue was led by a group of people on the way to the emperor's place. He kept making insinuations intentionally or unintentionally, trying to find out more information about Pang Wu.
But it is a pity that no matter how Dugu Yue asked seemingly casually, Pang Wu cleverly avoided the core of the problem.
Duguyue didn't dare to ask too unscrupulously to avoid arousing the other party's vigilance, so he didn't get any useful information until he reached the destination.
"Your Majesty, Master Du has been brought here. I have other things to do, so I will leave first." After leading Dugu Yue to the contemporary emperor of the Rock Kingdom, Pang Wu took the lead in asking the emperor to leave.
This was already considered rude to the king of a country, and it also made the emperor lose face in front of an outsider like Dugu Yue.
But even so, the emperor still didn't show any dissatisfaction. He nodded and agreed to Pang Wu's request to leave. From this, it can be seen that the emperor valued him. I am afraid that even an ordinary prince would not receive this kind of treatment.
Duguyue didn't get any useful information from Pang Wu. She was very unwilling, but had no choice but to do so.
We can only ask the emperor himself directly later. Duguyue is not willing to give up such an experience gift package that can improve the level of the God-Slaying Sword.
What's more, this royal capital is Dugu Yue's bed for the time being. How can he allow others to sleep soundly here? Moreover, it is still such a very dangerous time.
Dugu Yue didn't know what purpose Pang Wu had in coming to the small kingdom of Locke and still living beside the emperor in the palace, but this did not stop Dugu Yue from being afraid of him.
Although Pang Wu only has the cultivation level of Wujun Realm on the surface, Dugu Yue will not believe that this is his true cultivation level.
Because if he only has this level of cultivation, then Dugu Yue can easily destroy him with all his strength, and there is no way he will be afraid of him.
Under Dugu Yue's gaze, Pang Wu quietly exited the main hall where the emperor used to entertain Dugu Yue.
At this time, the emperor personally stood up to greet him and said, "Thank you so much, Master Du, for your condescension to come. I am deeply honored. Please take a seat."
Duguyue felt a little strange at this moment. It was her first time meeting the king of a country, and she was still standing in a position respected by the emperor. You can imagine her mood.
However, Duguyue knows that in this world, force is still respected, and there is no such thing as a nine-five-year-old. Although the emperor is noble, he is just a spiritual trainer who is aloof from warriors and status compared to ordinary civilians.
That said, it's just so-so.
Duguyue was regarded as a guest at the table, but her mind was not here, so she asked the doubts in her heart and said: "Your Majesty, do you know the specific origin of Commander Pang? I think his qualifications
Very good, I am also very curious about him.”
Dugu Yue did not tell the truth as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, it was the first time that the two of them met. Not only would no one believe the truth, but it would also alert others, so he chose this excuse of being happy to meet him, which was considered an excuse for himself.
A legitimate and unsuspecting reason to inquire about other people's background information.
After listening to Dugu Yue's inquiry, the emperor in front of him had no doubts. After all, one was a spiritual trainer with a high status, and the other was just a poor and hard-working young man. The two were incompatible with each other.
In addition, the emperor really valued Pang Wu very much and admired his hard work. He was also very pleased that he was favored by Dugu Yue, a spiritual trainer.
Therefore, he did not hide anything from Dugu Yue and told everything he knew about Pang Wu.
When Dugu Yue heard this, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, almost becoming the word Sichuan, and her thoughts gradually fell into deep thought.
Because I don’t know if Commander Pang Wupang is really that hardworking and outstanding, or if this is just the emperor’s unilateral view of him.
Duguyue thought to himself: "It seems that Pang Wu is really well hidden. From this, we can guess that his name Pang Wu may not be true."
"I really don't know why he, a devil in Tai Dugu Yue's eyes, worked so hard to sneak into the Royal Palace of Rock Kingdom?" Dugu Yue murmured.
"Master Du, Master Du!"
Suddenly, a shouting voice woke up Dugu Yue. Only then did Dugu Yue finally come back to her senses, and she fell into deep thought without even realizing it.
Duguyue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She was actually distracted in this palace where absolute safety could not be confirmed. If she was attacked by someone, I'm afraid she would have to answer here.
It doesn't need to be too strong, even a warrior in the Martial Lord Realm is enough to cause fatal injuries to Dugu Yue, who has no defense at all.
But when Tai heard that it was the emperor calling her, Dugu Yue was relieved and replied: "What did you just say? I just thought of something very important and I didn't hear it clearly."
"It doesn't matter, Master Du. I also think that Pang Wu has very good qualifications as a commander, and he is also very hard-working. I wonder if he can catch the eye of the master." Even if Du Guyue was distracted during the conversation with him, the emperor still did not get angry, and still cared about someone.
The little guard commander.
"Well, it's okay. Let's talk about this later. I don't know why Your Majesty wants to see me, but it doesn't matter."
Duguyue didn't really appreciate Pang Wu, but wanted to kill him, but if he really kept him by his side, he not only had to be on guard at all times, but also couldn't do anything to him.
This was something Dugu Yue didn't want to see, so when faced with the emperor's inquiry, Dugu Yue still treated it with a perfunctory attitude and changed the subject.
At the same time, Dugu Yue also had an evaluation in his mind of the emperor of the Rock Kingdom. He was more than humble, but not domineering enough. In short, he had everything, but he had a too good personality, his temperament could not control the situation, and he lacked that kind of majesty.
Duguyue believed that this emperor was really unfit to be the king of a country, no wonder he was said to be a stupid and incompetent king.
Unless the emperor's palace is so terrifying and he has been forbearing, his attitude towards Dugu Yue is just a joke.
Otherwise, judging from the current first contact, he can only be suitable to be an idle prince with nothing to do, because as a king, he does not even understand the most basic understanding of people's hearts.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Doesn't he have any doubt that Pang Wu's image in his heart is too perfect?
I really don't know whether the emperor is really confused or just pretending to be confused. It's really boring to talk to him. If it weren't for the Zhu family's affairs that required him to nod, Dugu Yue would have turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing Du Gu Yue change the subject, the emperor did not mention Pang Wu's matter again, as if he had completely forgotten Pang Wu, and said: "Master Du Gu Yue, I know that you are not only superb in alchemy, but also very powerful in martial arts.
, so I would like to ask you to teach the few princes of the widow. Although there are many successors to the prince, they are all intrigues, short-sighted, and useless. Otherwise, I am afraid that after the widow passes away, the Rock Kingdom, which has been weakening due to the incompetence of the prince, will gradually weaken.
They were destroyed because of the struggle for power.”
Duguyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she did not agree or refuse, but asked tentatively: "I am just a spiritual trainer. Although I know a little bit about martial arts, as the king of a country, I need more than just
It's force, why would you want me to teach the prince?"
When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly became much deeper, and he replied lonely: "I am not blind. I don't know how many warriors with ulterior motives have sneaked into this palace. Although I can't do anything to them, but there is some information about you.
, I still know that no matter the Xiao Dao King who is eager to save his son, the downcast Xiaoyao King, or the old marshal Gu Xuantian's heart disease, once or twice may be a coincidence, but multiple times is your ability, you are very good.
Smart, I have something to do and I want to send Commander Pang to carry it out secretly. He will leave the city at midnight today!"
Although the emperor's words still felt vague and vague, as if he had said everything and yet seemed to have said nothing, Dugu Yue, as the person involved, understood what he meant.
Duguyue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help shouting in her heart: "Which grandson is the one who said that the current emperor is fatuous and incompetent? I will definitely tear his mouth apart."
He had never doubted Pang Wu's identity. He knew it very well. The appreciation and respect he showed before were also used to test Dugu Yue.
Dugu Yue could imagine that if she had not changed the subject just now, but had really kept Pang Wu by her side.
The emperor in front of him now is definitely still the same fatuous and incompetent image as before, and his ability in his heart will be reduced by more than one level.
But think about it, if the emperor is really stupid and incompetent, he may not even adopt other people's suggestions, let alone issue orders that divide the power of the prime minister.
