When the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, the whole city is restored to life and vitality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the lobby of the info inn, Tiansheng was eating breakfast and listening carefully to the whispers of the people around him. In this inn, where all kinds of people gather, you can often hear a lot of useful news, such as the two people at the table not far away.
"Hey, have you heard, another person died when he was ugly today, and he was still drained, and like the person last time, it is said that death is very terrifying. ”
"Really, how do you know?"
"The location of the dead man is where a friend of mine lives, I heard him say that the monster was discovered, and many soldiers were catching the monster last night!"
"yes, I didn't catch that. When the man heard this, he became excited.
The monster was running fast on the roof, and when he passed by my friend's roof, he was so frightened that he hid under the covers, and he didn't dare to come out. ”
"Then your friend is really unlucky. ”
"But no, now that the monsters are in trouble, I don't know when it will be our turn. ”
"Hey, how did you say this monster appeared, could it be ......?"
"Shhhhh ”
The two stopped talking and began to eat with nervous faces. And the Tiansheng on the side heard the unfinished words, but knew who they were talking about. Isn't it the rather mysterious city lord's wife, he had heard enough of such rumors yesterday.
"Tiansheng, you fought with that monster yesterday, what do you think, is it really the city lord's wife who is rumored in the city now?" Gu Tianxue on the other side of the table stared at Tiansheng and asked.
Hearing this, the hand that Tiansheng had just stretched out to pick up the vegetables slowly retracted, and sighed lightly: "That demon is wearing a black robe, and he can't see his face clearly, and he can't even see whether it's a man or a woman. ”
Then after a pause, he continued: "But I have a familiar feeling, as if I had seen him, a very strange feeling. ”
"In that case, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion at night tonight to see where this City Lord's wife is. Gu Tianxue blinked at Tiansheng and said.
"Good. Tiansheng nodded, but now there is no clue, and he can only see the true face of this legendary city lord's wife.
In the middle of the night, let Hu Jiu stay in the room, and the two set off. Along the way, I avoided the many patrolling soldiers, crossed several streets, and saw the huge city lord's mansion. This time I was naturally worried, such a large mansion is like a labyrinth, and it is already very difficult to find someone, not to mention a pair of patrolling soldiers.
Tiansheng lowered his voice and asked softly, "It's so big, how can we find it?"
"Whether it's the Imperial Palace or the City Lord's Palace, these buildings are exquisite. Don't talk for a while, just follow me. ”
Gu Tianxue also lowered her voice and said, seeing that Tiansheng nodded, she jumped lightly, jumped onto the wall several zhang high, and Tiansheng followed closely behind. Along the way, going around east and west, passing by countless pavilions, gardens and ponds, carefully avoiding the soldiers patrolling the house, Tiansheng finally saw a brightly lit hall, in which a woman was constantly wandering, walking around, looking very anxious.
"It should be her. Gu Tianxue whispered beside him.
Tiansheng nodded, and then the two of them lowered their breath and quietly approached the woman in the hall. The whole hall was extremely empty, and there was only one woman, which was a godsend.
The woman didn't seem to notice anything unusual at all, and suddenly two figures flickered, and a sword was already on her neck, and the sword exuded a palpitating aura.
"Don't move. Tiansheng put the seven-star sword on the woman's neck and shouted in a deep voice. At this time, a woman's unique fragrance came to the face, and this fragrance was mixed with a faint demonic aura. If it's not close at hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel it.
"Sure enough, it's you, youkai, we've been looking for you for two days. I didn't expect you to hide in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"You've been looking for me for two days, are you here to kill me?"
"That's right, you hurt people's lives, and today is your death day. ”
Hearing this, the woman laughed: "You immortal cultivators boast of the right path, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and now it is normal to kill a little vixen like me." But if you say I'm murderous, I can't afford it. ”
When the woman said this, she was not afraid, and there was a hint of righteousness and awe-inspiring flavor. At this time, the sound of "rustling" from the collision of iron armor was heard in the distance.
"Born to be quick-moving, someone is coming. Hearing the voice, Gu Tianxue shouted eagerly.
The woman had slowly closed her eyes, waiting for death to come. But he couldn't wait, and opened his eyes again in confusion.
"Be honest and don't talk. Born said to the woman, and Edgeworth flew into the sky.
Gu Tianxue was so angry that she had no choice but to follow. Edgeworth's movement alarmed the soldiers patrolling not far away, but when they saw the empty hall, their eyes widened in shock.
"Hurry up and find the city lord, Madame has been robbed by a monster, hurry. The leader shouted, and then the entire City Lord's Mansion boiled.
......
In the inn room, Tiansheng threw the woman to the ground.
"You can now honestly say whether you killed the people of these two days. And what is your purpose in the City Lord's Mansion? Tell me everything honestly, if you deceive you even a little, you will definitely be splattered on the spot. As if to welcome the words of Harmony, as soon as the words were spoken, the seven-star sword shone brightly.
Looking at the two people who looked at her angrily, the woman's lips opened lightly, and she said slowly: "This matter is really not my doing, I have been in the house for the past two days and have never gone out." As for me in the City Lord's Mansion, it's because I really love my husband, and my husband loves me too, and that's the way it is. ”
"Jokes, a goblin dares to say love. Gu Tianxue snorted coldly.
When the woman heard this, her face changed, and she slowly lowered her head and said nothing.
On the other hand, Tiansheng frowned, thought carefully, and said for a long time: "You said that you didn't kill anyone, then do you know who is the monster who killed people in the city? Don't say you don't know." ”
The woman's face changed, and then immediately returned to its original state: "I don't know." ”
"I really don't know?" Tiansheng said, already raising his hand and pointing his sword at the woman.
The breath of the seven-star sword made the woman feel very uncomfortable and depressed, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "No." ”
At this moment, maybe it was everyone who spoke and woke up Hu Jiu on the side.
"Brother Tiansheng, what are you doing?" said the little guy as if he hadn't woken up, his eyes were hazy, and he rubbed his eyes with his little paws.
Everyone looked at it, and they didn't speak yet, but they saw an amazing scene. I saw that the woman on the side was frightened when she saw Hu Jiu, and immediately turned her head to bow down to Hu Jiu and said, "Slave Mei'er, meet my king." ”
As soon as the words fell, Tiansheng and Gu Tianxue on the side were shocked, but Tiansheng seemed to remember something, and suddenly realized. Even if I understand the reason, I can't accept it for a long time when I see a human-like vixen bowing down to a fox.
Hu Jiu lay on the bed and replied in a childish childish voice: "Sister, get up, just call someone Hu Jiu." ”
Hearing this, the woman named Mei'er did not get up directly, but looked at Tiansheng and Gu Tianxue who were standing aside, as if asking for their consent.
"Get up. Tiansheng lowered his head, looked at Mei'er on the ground and said slowly.
Mei'er, who stood up, looked at Hu Jiu on the bed cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Wang, why are you here." There's no danger, is it?" said the danger, and looked at the two of them.
Gu Tianxue snorted coldly, and smiled bitterly.
Hu Jiu giggled: "It's okay, Brother Tiansheng and Sister Tianxue are good to others, don't worry." Then he scratched his head with his little paws and continued: "And I said that it would be good to call people's names, and 'Wang' sounds weird." ”
"Fox ...... Nine. ”
"That's right. Hu Jiu looked very happy after hearing this.
"You can tell the truth now. On the side, Tiansheng held his hands and said leisurely.
Mei'er's eyes flickered, and after a long while, she seemed to have made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "I do know who killed the person." ”
"Who is it?" asked Tiansheng and Gu Tianxue on the side, in unison.
After the woman was halfway through, two words popped out of her mouth: "Ghost ...... Kill. ”
As soon as he heard these two words, he was shocked, and then his face became colder and colder, it turned out to be him, and the feeling before made sense.
"What's the matter, do you know this person?" Seeing that Tiansheng's face was wrong, Gu Tianxue asked with concern.
"Of course I know, I almost died at his hands back then. I didn't expect to meet so soon. It's really not like they don't meet. Then he continued to ask Fox Mei, "How did you know Ghost Slayer, and why did you help the abuse?"
"I ...... I met him a year ago, when I was seriously injured by a powerful tiger demon on the mountain, and when my life was in danger, he saved me. A year later, he told me that he had an enemy and asked me to find a way to gain his trust and kill him. ”
"The person who the ghost killed you wanted to kill is the city lord Chen Feng?" asked Tiansheng in a deep voice.
"Yes. Mei'er nodded and continued, "I never wanted to hurt anyone, but since he saved my life, I should help him finish this." So I pretended to be injured and was rescued by Chen Feng, and the plan was going on step by step, and Chen Feng also trusted me, and was still willing to marry me after knowing that I was a fox demon. I've never seen someone so nice, he's gentle and considerate, and in the end I really fell in love with him. I don't want to kill him, I just want to live this life with him like this. Saying this, Mei'er was already crying softly.
"But when the demon killer found out, he kept persecuting me. I didn't expect to use the method of killing people in the end, pointing the finger at me. He wants me to be at his mercy again and carry out his orders. I can't help it, every time my husband goes out to patrol the city, I'm afraid that something will happen to him. ”
Tiansheng held his chin with his hand and thought about it, now that the matter is clear, the next thing is how to invite you into the urn. Then Tiansheng slowly turned his gaze to the beautiful woman in front of him: "You should be able to meet the ghost killer, right?"
Mei'er lost her expression for a moment: "What are you going to do, he can be regarded as saving my life, I won't help you." ”
"You have to think about it, the ghost killer is just using you, and he wants to kill your husband. He has done so much, there must only be one between the two. Whether you want to help your beloved husband or use your so-called benefactor, you choose for yourself!"
Hearing this, Mei'er slowly lowered her head, her eyes were already hazy......
