The Jing River Dragon King left Yuan Shoucheng and walked down the street in a daze.
In the Jing River Dragon King's view, Yuan Shoucheng's so-called path to survival was also a slim chance.
Go to the palace, enter the Human Emperor's dream, and plead with the Tang Emperor?
Not to mention the heavily guarded palace, the Tang Emperor also had the Human Emperor's aura protecting him, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Supreme of the Three Realms and the World Honored One.
Even the Demon King couldn't get in, let alone him!
What frightened the Jing River Dragon King even more was that Yuan Shoucheng had come prepared.
Yuan Shoucheng told the Jing River Dragon King not to worry, saying that they would help the Jing River Dragon King shield the secrets of heaven and block the Emperor's aura, allowing him to approach the Human Emperor Li Shimin.
At that moment, the Jing River Dragon King had completely understood.
He had been targeted from the very beginning.
Someone wanted to use him, so they set up this trap!
The Jing River Dragon King roared in his heart. He had been diligent and conscientious all his life, caring for his subordinates and never daring to be biased.
Who on earth was targeting him like this?!
Vaguely, the Jing River Dragon King also felt that he was being drawn into a storm.
Was this the only way to survive?
A bitter smile appeared on the Jing River Dragon King's face.
"Have you heard? There's a young master at that restaurant who's so handsome I can't open my eyes."
"I've heard, I've heard. Women from all over the surrounding villages are rushing over."
"Let's go take a look! Although I'm a man, I'm not convinced!"
The Jing River Dragon King faintly heard people talking about a young master at a certain restaurant whose appearance was extraordinary, like an immortal descending to earth.
With the spirit of joining in the fun before death, the Jing River Dragon King headed towards the restaurant that everyone was talking about.
As he approached the restaurant, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying pressure of bloodline!
This pressure was like the Ancestral Dragon himself descending.
The Jing River Dragon King, who only had the name of the Dragon Race, was like an ant seeing a prehistoric beast before the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline!
The Jing River Dragon King was so oppressed by the Ancestral Dragon's pressure that he couldn't breathe, and even knelt on the street, a look of pain on his face.
The next second, he raised his head and saw a white-clothed immortal and a cute little loli on the high building, looking at him indifferently.
At that moment, the Jing River Dragon King's soul seemed to be frozen in place!
"Jail God... Chu Hao!"
The Jing River Dragon King's mind went blank. He never expected to encounter the Jail God Chu Hao, the enforcer of the Three Realms, here?!
At that moment, the fear of the Jail God, the enforcer of the Three Realms, completely surged into his heart.
The Jing River Dragon King felt a little difficulty breathing, like a mouse seeing a cat.
The white-clothed immortal only glanced at the Jing River Dragon King, and the Jing River Dragon King felt that he had completely lost his resistance, and all the secrets in his heart had been detected.
Skimping on raindrops and tampering with the time were capital crimes!
The Jing River Dragon King took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Perhaps, this is my just desserts. It seems that I am destined to escape this calamity."
"However, if I can die at the hands of the Jail God, it can be considered my own fault. It's better than being used as a pawn by that group of people."
After a fierce ideological struggle, the Jing River Dragon King firmly stood up and walked towards the pavilion.
Above the pavilion.
Chu Hao and Xiao Qiong were tasting the delicacies of the imperial city.
Chu Hao didn't care about the Jing River Dragon King who had just passed by.
"Brother, was that the Dragon King just now?" Xiao Qiong said vaguely with her mouth full.
Chu Hao smiled slightly, "Yes, there are many gods and monsters coming and going in this imperial city, but they are just passing by. As long as they don't cause trouble or mess with karma, the Heavenly Court and the Human Emperor will allow it."
Xiao Qiong nodded.
Chu Hao casually took out tens of thousands of silver notes and stuffed them to the waiter next to him,
"Excuse me, please bring... three five-hundred-jin roasted wild boars, my sister is almost full."
The waiter smiled bitterly and said: "Young master, you have already paid. These tens of thousands of silver notes can buy several of our restaurants. Please take them back."
"In addition... our landlady said that she has seen that the young master has exhausted all her life's desires, and now has no desires, and has sold the restaurant to seek immortality and ask questions."
"Tsk tsk tsk, could it be that there is some big shot hidden here?"
"It seems that he still has a lot of family wealth, isn't it?"
While everyone was making noise, Chu Hao saw a white-clothed scholar push through the crowd and kneel down towards him with three kneelings and nine kowtows.
This person was the Jing River Dragon King.
Seeing this, Chu Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and with a wave of immortal energy, he shielded what mortals saw.
The Jing River Dragon King knelt down in front of Chu Hao. At this moment, his forehead was covered with blood, his eyes were turbid,
"Jing River Sinful Dragon, pays respects to the Jail God, the enforcer of the Three Realms! The Sinful Dragon has come to plead guilty!"
Chu Hao continued to eat the things on the table, and said lightly:
"What crime is there?"
The Jing River Dragon King took a deep breath before saying:
"The Sinful Dragon, due to a momentary gambling with someone, tampered with the Jade Emperor's decree and skimped on raindrops. Please punish the Jail God, the enforcer of the Three Realms! The Sinful Dragon is willing to accept any punishment!"
Chu Hao raised an eyebrow,
"Who did you gamble with?"
The Jing River Dragon King said with a bitter face: "That person is Yuan Shoucheng, the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, the director of the Imperial Observatory of the current dynasty."
Chu Hao said lightly: "Explain in detail."
The Jing River Dragon King said: "That Yuan Shoucheng knew the secrets of heaven early on, and every day he induced fishermen to kill my shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the river, making me restless. In a fit of anger, I gambled with him, but I was defeated miserably, and then I knew that I had been tricked."
"That Yuan Shoucheng ordered me to go to the palace, enter the Human Emperor's dream, and plead with the Tang Emperor, saying that they would help me shield the secrets of heaven and block the Human Emperor's aura. The Sinful Dragon knows that this matter is of great importance and cannot be done recklessly, so I did not listen to him."
"The Sinful Dragon does not dare to excuse himself. I deserve to die for my sins. I hope that the Jail God, the enforcer of the Three Realms, can leave me a whole body so that the leaves can return to their roots."
Chu Hao understood in his heart and felt a bit of emotion.
This Jing River Dragon King is indeed an honest person. Although he knew that he had been arranged, he obediently came to plead guilty.
It seems that this young man is clear in his heart. Rather than going to the palace to disturb the Human Emperor and then be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, it is better to come directly to plead guilty, not be used as a pawn, and still be able to leave a whole body.
However, Chu Hao was not a stubborn person. Chu Hao said lightly:
"Considering that you actively surrendered after your first offense, your attitude is sincere, and you have not caused too much harm, the death penalty can be waived. You can go to the Heavenly Prison to receive your punishment."
Hearing this, the Jing River Dragon King's eyes widened instantly, and he was overjoyed beyond belief,
"Really?! Thank you, Jail God, the enforcer of the Three Realms, for not killing me!"
The Jing River Dragon King kowtowed on the spot, tears streaming down his face.
Being pardoned by the Jail God was like a new life for the Jing River Dragon King!
He was so moved that he cried.
Chu Hao said lightly: "It is not I who saved you, but the rules of Heaven. However, I advise you, the majesty of Heaven is mighty and cannot be violated again. Take care and reflect on yourself."
The Jing River Dragon King kowtowed again and again, tears streaming down his face,
"The Sinful Dragon knows his mistake, the Sinful Dragon knows his mistake!"
Chu Hao waved his hand, "Leave, do not disturb mortals."
The Jing River Dragon King left gratefully.
Chu Hao looked out the window with a complicated expression. This Yuan Shoucheng, it seems that he really wants to provoke me?
