Chapter 126: Pretending is an Art
Seeing how arrogant and domineering he was, the black-haired demon cultivator's eyes darkened, and he opened the fins on his arms, ready to mobilize the spiritual power in his body.
Old Garlic's eyes rolled around, and he hurried forward to stop the black-haired demon cultivator, looking at Mu You with a flattering look on his face.
"Sir, this kid is ignorant and didn't mean to contradict you. Please forgive me, sir!"
"You old garlic!——"
"Shut up."
Old Garlic frowned fiercely and winked at the black-haired demon cultivator.
The black-haired demon cultivator naturally understood what Old Garlic meant, but he couldn't swallow this anger and continued to stare at Mu You with ill intentions.
Seeing this, Mu You was in a good mood. He continued with the bald man's words, "My words are useless. If anyone inside is unhappy, you'll lose your heads!"
"This……"
Old Garlic stammered and was unable to speak.
The black-haired demon cultivator asked in a deep voice, "I wonder which demon general is sitting inside?"
Mu You had no idea what a demon general was. Zang Qing had always been responsible for collecting information in the team, and he had never come into contact with these things.
Everyone in the carriage was uneasy.
Oops.
I'm afraid the truth will be revealed.
Zang Qing was extremely nervous. He knew clearly that with Mu You's brain, he would never be able to answer the question.
"Humph, I'm afraid that telling you will scare you to death." Mu You paused, and seeing that there was no movement in the car behind him, he continued to act tough, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way quickly, otherwise you will lose your life!"
Old Garlic rubbed his palms and said, "Hey, sir, everything is easy to talk about. Don't bother with him."
"Why don't you get out of the way?!" Mu You roared.
Old Garlic looked troubled and said hesitantly, "It's all stated here. Anyone entering the city in a carriage must get off and be inspected."
"Inspect? Bullshit inspection!" Mu You suddenly got angry, "Even if the Demon Lord comes, it won't work!"
Old Garlic looked gloomy, as if he had eaten shit.
He originally wanted to get close and flatter the demon, hoping that by chance he could get close to a powerful demon. Although he wouldn't be able to turn a sparrow into a phoenix, at least he wouldn't have to guard the city gate all day.
But now the owner of the carriage has not shown up yet, and his little plan is likely to fail.
"Rules are rules. If you want to enter the outer city of the Great Wei, you must submit to inspection," the black-haired demon cultivator said after half-kneeling towards the car door, "Please get out of the car, sir!"
The three people in the car heard the noise outside and realized they could no longer stay in the car, so they opened the door and went out.
The first to get off the car were Zang Qing and Lan Yi, both of them were wrapped in black robes. As soon as they got off the car, they lined up on both sides of the door without making a sound.
"Who wants to check my car?"
Zhao Zimo's voice was calm as water, but to the black-haired demon cultivator, it sounded murderous.
The black-haired demon cultivator looked warily at Zhao Zimo as he got off the carriage.
He had slightly curly black hair and several fierce scars on his face. The most eye-catching thing was the two horns on his head, which showed that he was different from others.
"Big... lord!"
When Old Garlic saw Zhao Zimo's attire, he was so scared that he almost fell to his knees with a plop.
"I didn't know it was your carriage, sir. I deserve death, I deserve death! Please spare my life, sir!"
Zang Qing:?
Lan Yi:?
Mu You:?
None of the three had thought that Zhao Zimo's method would be so effective, and he could actually disguise himself as a demon cultivator and deceive the guard.
The black-haired demon cultivator moved his lips slightly and was about to say something when he was pulled to the ground by Garlic Head.
"Are you crazy?" the black-haired demon cultivator struggled.
"I think you're crazy. You can't even recognize a high-ranking demon!" Garlic Head buried his head hard in the ground, and at the same time raised his head and said flatteringly, "I wonder which master of the Barbarian Demon Clan you are? I want me to report to you..."
"no need."
Zhao Zimo said coldly.
"I have always kept a low profile, so there is no need to make such a fuss."
"Yes, yes, I can tell at first sight that you are a man of extraordinary bearing. You really are... uh... broad-minded..." Old Garlic searched his mind for words of praise, but facing Zhao Zimo's face, he was still too nervous to speak.
Zhao Zimo glanced at him, then turned to look at the black-haired demon cultivator.
"What is your name?"
"In reply to your Excellency, this boy's name is Yu Xiaoliu, and he is my nephew. He is not very good at speaking. I beg you to be so kind as to spare our lives."
Old Garlic said.
Just as Yu Xiaoliu was about to look up, he was pinned to the ground by Old Garlic.
"Why don't you apologize quickly?"
Old Garlic was very angry with him, and looked like he was disappointed in his child.
Yu Xiaoliu refused to say a word. He struggled to get up, but was held down by Old Garlic.
"Alright, before anyone says I'm unreasonable," Zhao Zimo just glanced at him and said to Mu You, "Keep driving."
After saying that, Zang Qing and Lan Yi took Zhao Zimo back to the car.
Mu You's anxious heart finally settled down.
"Did you hear me? Get out of the way!"
Mu You shouted arrogantly.
Old Garlic leaned close to him pitifully and begged, "Sir, please plead for us. This... this we don't know..."
"Stop talking nonsense and let us into the city. My master doesn't have the time to pay attention to you."
Mu You rolled his eyes at him.
"Oh..." Old Garlic was sweating profusely as he watched the carriage slowly driving into the city. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.
"Old Garlic, why did you let them in!" Yu Xiaoliu shouted angrily.
"Why? Because they are a superior demon!"
Old Garlic slapped Yu Xiaoliu in the face.
Snapped!
The applause was so loud that the people nearby were so frightened that they didn't dare to look up.
"Do you know whose subordinate that man is?"
"Among the Twelve Earth Demons, the Mad Sky Hammer—Sir Barbarian Demon!"
"Looking at that person, he doesn't seem like someone you can just deal with. If we offend him, it will be something you and I can't afford!"
Yu Xiaoliu was about to say something, but the look in Old Suantou's eyes made him swallow his words back.
"Just do your job well and live one day at a time," Old Garlic complained, "With your brain, what kind of devil cultivator are you? You might as well just go back to Canghai."
Yu Xiaoliu looked down at the fish fin on his arm, silent, and unknowingly shed a few tears.
In the end, Old Suantou couldn't bear it and comforted him a few more words.
"Don't think I'm nagging. If you give me a chance to work, I'll give you my life in return. We don't owe each other anything."
"understood."
Yu Xiaoliu bit his lips tightly.
The carriage was moving slowly in the city, and Zhao Zimo and others were also observing the surrounding situation. In addition to the human people crowded on the road, there were also various demon cultivators with strange appearances.
"It's really disgusting." Zang Qing couldn't help but frown.
"Don't say that. We are also demonic cultivators now." Zhao Zimo smiled faintly, "Let's find a deserted inn to rest first. Tomorrow morning, we'll go out and find out about the teleportation array."
He pulled out the horns from his head, wiped them slowly on his clothes, and after confirming that they were correct, he stuck them back on his head.
Lan Yi couldn't help but sigh, "This prop is so realistic, it even frightened the demon cultivators."
"Thanks to Mu You for scaring them off first, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to pretend," Zhao Zimo said after a moment of silence, "If we had met other demon cultivators, I wouldn't have been able to fool them."
Lan Yi took out the magic wand from his sleeve, chanted a spell silently, and re-attached the aura of the devil to the few people.
"It's your first time leaving the sect. It's really hard for you. The elders of Bingpo Sect must be reluctant to let you go." Zang Qing looked at Lan Yi and sighed.
"No...it's okay, I just want to go back early..." Lan Yi said in a low voice.
"I want to go back too," Zhao Zimo recalled the face of a certain young man and suddenly smiled gently. "Once all the demon cultivators are dealt with, I will invite you to Xin Zhao for a feast."
"Eat a feast?" Lan Yi's eyes lit up. "Is His Highness getting married?"
"It's almost right." Zhao Zimo said with a smile.
Zang Qing suddenly remembered that he had seen Lu Yuguan and Zhao Zimo outside the military tent...
Probably not...
Zang Qing shook his head and put aside the messy thoughts.
"Come to think of it, why don't you let Brother Zhou come with us into the city?" Zang Qing asked.
"He is responsible for staying outside the city to provide support. If anything happens, he will send a message back in time." Zhao Zimo said in a deep voice.
The carriage continued to move forward, and everyone gradually heard a lot of noisy noises, causing Mu You to stop the carriage halfway.
"what happened?"
Zhao Zimo frowned.
"Your Highness, there seems to have been an accident up ahead. It looks like... someone is scamming someone?"
