Chapter 42: Zhao Kai's Night Attack, Fire Armor Destroyed

When he met the emperor, the punishment that Zhao Mu had imagined did not appear!
Zhao Zhu only told him to prepare for the conferment of the title, and then let Zhao Mu go back!
He was indifferent throughout the whole process, like a stranger.

However, all this was within Zhao Mu's expectations.

After all, I should have been a dead man long ago!

Even at this moment, in Zhao Zhu's eyes, he was just a chess piece, but with more value!

The imperial family is the most ruthless. Zhao Mu has experienced this firsthand over the years.

After coming out of the palace and returning to the mansion, Zhao Mu ordered everyone to start preparing!
The bestowal of titles was originally a matter of the palace, and he didn't need to prepare anything.

However, he still kept Yuan Benxi's words in his heart.

Now deep in Tai'an City, it is different from the outside.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

After instructing Kong and others to be careful, Zhao Mu settled down.

Late at night, the city of Tai'an was still bustling with noise.

Dark clouds covered the moon, casting a shadow on the ground.

In the darkness, a figure is lurking silently!

I don’t know how much time passed, but after watching the lights in the yard go out, the man waved slightly!
Behind him, a tall figure covered in tattered armor suddenly appeared.

Then, he jumped onto the high wall!

As soon as the soldier landed on the ground, he seemed to sense something and turned around instantly and threw a punch!
clang--

As a golden bell appeared, the soldier's fist hit the bell, and a low bell sound was heard.

The soldier was startled and bursts of flames appeared on his chest.

"Red armor of Fujiang?"

Lekong's eyes moved, and he raised his hand and slapped down, hitting Hong Jia directly. The powerful palm only pushed the opponent back several meters, but did not hurt him at all!
Liaokong naturally knew the power of Fu Jiang's red armor!

This thing is not a living creature, but is made of meteorite iron from outer space and combined with talismans.

Invulnerable to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire, this red armor of Fu Jiang was the protective armor of Ye Hongting, one of the four great masters back then.

It is rumored that this armor can withstand a blow from a grandmaster. After Ye Hongting's death, the Fu Jiang Red Armor was obtained by the human cat Han Diaosi, who divided the red armor into five parts and used the puppet technique to forge five Fu Jiang Red Armors.

Looking at the fire on the chest of the red armor in front of him, it was obviously one of the five red armors, the fire-type red armor.

This thing has amazing defensive power, and its cultivation has reached the Grandmaster level.

Ordinary people are no match for these red-armored generals. Even if they can defeat them, it is difficult to hurt them.

However, Liaokong is a first-class Vajra after all, and his attacks are mighty and domineering.

The red armor in front of him was like a toy that was being kneaded at will. It was unable to attack at all and could only passively take the beating!
But in just a short moment, Hong Jia had already been hit by dozens of palms from Kong. If it were any other master, he would have been dead by now, but Hong Jia just kept retreating, his body remained steady.

Liaokong was not in a hurry. Relying on his skills, he chased after Hongjia step by step!
Every palm lands on the same place!
Outside the courtyard, Zhao Kai saw this and was shocked. He turned around and ran without any hesitation!

Zhao Mu sat upright in the room. Although he knew what was happening outside, he was not worried at all!
For now, let alone a red-armored talisman general, even if the human-cat Han Diaosi took action personally, with the help of Lekong and Nangong Pushe, that guy would not be able to gain any advantage.

But it was obvious that Zhao Kai was just testing the waters this time.

Zhao Mu didn't want to reveal his cards too early!
I don’t know how much time passed before the sounds outside gradually disappeared.

Liaokong looked at the red armor scattered on the ground and the puppet full of stench, and could not help but clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, the donor has been trapped for many years, and today he is finally freed!"

After Liaokong finished speaking, he waved his hand and a ball of fire fell, completely destroying the puppet.

The night was sad and beautiful, and the streets in the distance were still noisy, as if nothing had happened!
In a villa in the city, Zhao Kai ran into the yard panting.

"Master, I failed!"

In the courtyard, an old man in a red robe sat. His face was pale and he looked a little old, but his skin was very delicate without any wrinkles, which gave people a very strange feeling.

"It's okay, it was expected!"

As the old man spoke, he pushed forward the cup of tea that he had already brewed.

"Master, the fire armor is gone!"

Zhao Kai looked anxious. How could he be in the mood to drink tea?

"Don't worry, it's just a puppet!"

The old man spoke patiently to comfort her.

"Prince, when you do things for others, remember to keep 30% of your strength!"

"If Zhao Mu is really dead, Prince, you will lose your value!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kai's expression changed.

"But the Fire Armor..."

"Don't feel bad. Since the old emperor wants to use you, you naturally have to show some appreciation. At least let the old emperor see that you have contributed! Otherwise, it will be hard to explain!"

"That fire armor was originally given to them!"

"Prince, remember, it is good to support yourself by nurturing enemies. Your enemies can often become your helpers!"

"Zhao Mu, maybe the old emperor needs you, so that you can be reused!"

“Don’t take things too seriously!”

Zhao Kai listened to the old man's earnest teachings, but he didn't quite understand.

"Go back and rest, your mission is complete! You don't have to pay attention to Zhao Mu for now!"

"But, Master, that Xu Weixiong..."

Zhao Kai still felt a little indignant!
He was sent to Shangyin Academy to study since he was young, and Xu Weixiong was a goddess in the eyes of many disciples of Shangyin Academy, and he was no exception.

Not long ago, Xu Xiao went to Beijing to ask for marriage for Xu Weixiong. After he heard about it, he began to feel malicious towards Zhao Mu.

Even if there was no hint from the old emperor, he would still take action against Zhao Mu.

"It's just a woman, why bother about it! If you become a king in the future, will you still worry about not having a woman?"

When the old man heard this, a rare trace of anger appeared on his face, and he started to scold.

"..." Seeing this, Zhao Kai didn't dare to say anything, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

He will definitely not lack women in the future, but he will definitely not be able to find someone like Xu Weixiong.

Zhao Kai returned to his room silently. When he thought about Xu Weixiong marrying Zhao Mu, he was so angry that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

"No, we have to kill Zhao Mu and never let them get married!"

Zhao Kai said this through gritted teeth, his eyes falling on the ring in his hand.

Since one fire armor can't deal with Zhao Mu, he will use two.

As Zhao Kai was thinking about this, Xu Weixiong's image unconsciously appeared in his mind again.

That cold face was like a thorn piercing his chest.

"What virtue and ability does Zhao Mu have to marry Xu Weixiong?"

"She must be mine, she can only be mine!"

Zhao Kai's eyes gradually became fierce, and he started doing handicrafts while cursing.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye!
Soon the day of Zhao Mu's enthronement arrived.
