Chapter 12: Spirits and Demons

The young man opened his eyes, but he didn't look in the direction of the woman, but glanced at the darkness behind the woman, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I don't know if the little book came back this time, did it succeed?"

"Heh," the woman smiled lazily, "haven't you seen her and she didn't tell you?"

The old man didn't ask. ”

The woman nodded.

"Good. The young man said, full of relief.

"Your Majesty, you know, the old man would not have agreed to the departure of the little book, if it weren't for the fact that the old man was in a critical juncture of retreat at that time......," the young man continued.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Lu, I know that you hurt Xiaoshu, don't you hurt Lone? It turns out that you still underestimate her too much, do you know that this time, she not only brought back that kind of thing to Lone, but also that kid. ”

"Sheng Ash?" Lu Zhifang said.

Sheng Shen only entered Beijing today, but Lu Zhifang was not surprised that the woman knew about it, in fact, if the woman didn't know that Sheng Shen was still alive, it would be really surprising.

"Exactly. But in that kid's grasp, she still lacks something. Uncle Lu, the person was finally saved by you, for your sake, Lone will no longer pursue Xiaoshu's negligence, hmph, if Sheng Shen really has the posture of climbing mountains or even stronger as she said, she should have returned to Beijing as quickly as possible, if I can have one more grandmaster in Qiushui Country......"

With that, the woman paused and glanced northeast.

Lu Zhifang naturally understood what she meant, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." But His Majesty was a mistake. ”

"Oh?" the woman showed her teeth slightly, not hiding her surprise, within a radius of hundreds of miles in this autumn capital city, it was extremely rare for her to make a mistake.

"Sheng Ash was not saved by the old man, on the contrary, the old man's life and the lives of the people in Laiyang City were all saved by Sheng Ash. ”

"What? This, what the hell is going on? Uncle Lu, come and listen. ”

The woman straightened her posture slightly, and her face began to become a little serious, which was not mentioned at all in the report she received.

"Well, the old man also wants to talk about it. But, Your Majesty, do you really want him to listen as well?" Lu Zhifang glanced at the woman's back again.

"Oh, you mean the demons, it's okay. In that case, you, come out. ”

The woman did not mean to hide it at all, she said lightly, in the darkness behind the woman, a figure appeared there as if it had emerged from the water, with a burst of ripples.

It's a man, perhaps.

His skin was white, he wore a black robe, and his face was delicate, but slightly neutral.

It has a high nose, thin lips, and a red danju on the top and bottom of the middle lip, as well as on the center of the eyebrows.

However, the most eye-catching thing is not the three Zhu line, but the top of this person's head, which is a bald head.

This may not be the most accurate, Gain, although there is no hair on the top of his head, no scalp, just a blur of flesh, and even the white bones under the flesh can be faintly seen.

From its temples upwards, bursts of flesh and skin are constantly recovering, but the bursts of black mist, although faint, but constantly appearing, have been stopping this process.

If Sheng Shen is here, I am afraid that the first time is a sword stabbing out, this person turned out to be the demon who they appeared after passing the immortal platform.

After this person appeared, he saluted in the direction of Lu Zhifang and did not speak.

Lu Zhifang frowned slightly, his face was solemn, and he stared at this person for a long time, and then said slowly: "It's actually you, Spirit Demon, when did you come out?"

The man didn't speak, but the woman chuckled lightly and said: "It seems that the uncle of the Lu family has also recognized it, the demon has just broken through the seal, and it is a coincidence to say, although the main reason is that the aura of heaven and earth has changed drastically, but this most critical last step is actually given by the kid who worships Sheng Gray." ”

"What?"

"Haha. The woman seemed to think of something funny, and said with a smile: "That kid, maybe he really thought that the demon was afraid of him that day." But Uncle Lu, Gu is really becoming more and more interested in that kid. Let's not talk about the demon matter first, let's talk about Sheng Ash first. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

It's five days again, these five days, Qiushu has been busy, in the Great Wu Dynasty for five years, once back home, the major powerful families in the city of Qiujing heard the wind and moved, have come to visit, especially to the ladies and female officials in the court, female generals are more, Qiushu to deal with these, in the eyes of outsiders, it is like a fish in water, before, it is indeed true, but these days, in the dead of night, a deep sense of exhaustion will hit the heart.

Qiu Shu knew that she was not tired of this way of life, but that she had an increasingly complicated feeling about the kid named Sheng Gray in the back hall of Liuyun Palace.

Nine out of ten of the people who came to visit these days were asking about Sheng Gray openly or implicitly, which was not surprising to her, in fact, Sheng Gray's performance along the way must have reached the ears of these people a long time ago.

It's just that the content of this is not as she imagined before, whether it is to praise or try to get Sheng Ash, etc., but when it comes to Sheng Ash, it is more of a reminder, suspicion and even disgust, and slander.

Qiushu did not defend Sheng Gray, but in the seemingly idle conversation, he inquired that it turned out that in the current Qiu Jing City, especially in the eyes and ears of the major dignitaries and nobles, most of the information obtained was about the defeat of Laiyang City, and the blame was on Sheng Gray.

Roughly speaking, if it weren't for Sheng Ash's slack in the key battle, he only knew how to snatch the spoils, and refused to participate in the key battle, Marshal Lu would never be so hard, Sheng Ash in their mouths, as if he had become a sinner-like existence, the person who almost ruined Marshal Lu, the person who almost killed hundreds of thousands of people in Laiyang City, and the person who should be cut by a thousand knives.

If this is just from the mouth of a person, it would be fine, but the truth is far from the case, according to her special careful observation, she found that whether it is the second princess Qiuqi, or the fourth princess Qiuhua, and even those who have always held a vacillating and neutral attitude, they actually hold such thoughts.

and the lady who had a good relationship with her, all persuaded her to send Sheng Ash, a sinner, out of the Third Princess's Mansion as soon as possible, so as not to let His Majesty's wrath come down in the future, which would be a big trouble.

As far as Qiushu knows, the wisps behind these people are all related to the large and small sects of the country in Qiushui Country, as well as the people in the rivers and lakes, such as the husband of the second princess Qiuqi, the one named Wei Yujiao, who is the eldest son of the Wei family, a big merchant family in Qiushui Kingdom, but in fact, behind the Wei family is Baiyun Villa.

And her three side husbands are not simple roles.

Another example is the father of the fourth princess Qiuhua, who seems to be just an ordinary male concubine of Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven, but in fact, he is an elite disciple of the Xiaomian School, who is only forty years old, but he is already a martial artist at the peak of a small martial artist.

He is not important, but his master is one of the personal disciples of the head sect master Qin Guangfei.

This is also very understandable, if there is no one behind him, I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to look at His Majesty the Queen of Heaven, let alone be looked at by His Majesty the Queen of Heaven and enter the palace as a concubine.

And the news passed on by these people, can it also be said that now the rivers and lakes of Qiushui Country are showing a negative evaluation of Sheng Gray?

Other families are just that, but within the two families of Qiu Qi and Qiu Hua, there are a large number of staff members and loyal people, they must have first-hand information about Sheng Ash, and they must know that Sheng Shen is not an ordinary mortal slave.

So why do they do the same?

Temptation, that's necessary, but what else?

These people slandered them into ashes and described them as sinners, so correspondingly, there will be heroes, the battle of Laiyang City, the biggest hero must be Marshal Lu, but what about the next credit?

There must be a lot of people fighting, and that saved an entire city and hundreds of thousands of people.

Qiu Shu once asked about these intentionally or unintentionally, but the answers he got were not the same, and everyone said almost differently, but in general, except for Sheng Gray, the rest of the people were all meritorious.

And the biggest, excluding Marshal Lu, is the force behind them.

Everything seems to be a drama for merit, but the more Qiu Shu thinks about it, the more wrong he feels.

It's not that simple.

Could it be that the gambling Sheng Ash will not wake up?

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Shu's brows furrowed, and his head hurt more and more.

If Sheng Shen really can't wake up, then they only need to render the things mentioned above into established facts, then she will inevitably be greatly implicated, and even if the queen of heaven wants to protect her, under the general trend, she may not be able to keep it.

If it only stops there, after all, Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven knows what the truth is, and when Grandpa Lu entered the palace, he had already made it very clear, and she was even happy to see this, because once this happened, those people were actually forcing Sheng Shen to the side of complete allegiance to her.

But I'm afraid, I'm afraid, and after this, there are some other more shady thoughts or schemes.

Qiu Shu vaguely felt that this was almost inevitable, and the ultimate goal was also aimed at her.

The key to all this is to see if Sheng Shen can wake up, as long as Sheng Shen wakes up and the bone identification ceremony is held, then all doubts and conspiracies will be broken in one fell swoop, and at that time, she even hopes to win over those who have always had a wavering attitude.

After all, with her return, the battle for the "phoenix chicks" that has been hidden under the surface of the water will slowly surface, and she will work hard to fight for everything she can fight.
