Chapter 42: A Peculiar Youkai

When King Wucheng came to Mabel's mansion with eight hundred elite soldiers, it was past noon.

Eight hundred elite soldiers are enough to fight a battle, and the king of Shang has mobilized so many troops to capture Mei Bo, which shows that he is bound to win.

King Wucheng gave an order and ordered five hundred guards armed with bows and arrows to surround the Mei Mansion, and then the rest of the men and horses rushed into the Mei Mansion with him.

The Mei Mansion occupies a large area, but it is not gorgeous, as far as King Wu Cheng is concerned, this should be quite simple among the mansions of many doctors.

As soon as he entered the Mei Mansion, he saw the doctor Mei Bo hurrying over with a few subordinates.

Huang Xue looked at the side, and saw that this doctor Mei Bo was about forty years old, with a thin face, a tall figure, and a righteous face. If it weren't for his head, it would be hard to believe that he was a monster who had troubled the palace.

When Mei Bo saw King Wu Cheng, he hurriedly gave a salute, and said with some anger: "King Wu Cheng, why did you bring people to besiege my mansion? Could it be that Mei has violated some national law?"

King Wu Cheng is not a good person, he snorted coldly and said: "Mei Bo, you know in your heart what your identity is, your matter has been revealed, don't say more, obediently tie your hands, so as not to hurt the innocent." ”

When Mei Bo heard this, he looked a little stunned and said, "I don't know which law Mei has violated, but please let King Wu Cheng know." ”

This Mei Bo's reaction surprised King Wucheng and the others, this monster spoke reasonably and responsibly, and it was really no different from ordinary scribes. These words also hit the key point of King Wucheng, that is, there is no real evidence.

Huang Yan on the side asked Chanyu in a low voice, "Sister Deng, can you feel the demonic aura on this person?"

Chanyu frowned and felt it, shook her head and said, "I can't feel it." ”

Huang Yan hesitated: "I don't think this Mei Bo really looks like a monster, could it be a mistake?"

Huang Xue was also puzzled at this time, this monster was really not much different from what he imagined.

It was still King Wucheng who was a little old-fashioned, hesitated for a moment and said: "Doctor Mei, the holy decree has been issued, don't ignore it, you will tie your hands and follow me to see the king, right and wrong have their own justice." ”

Mei Bo bowed his head and said, "It's okay, I'll go with you to the king to theorize." ”

After that, he explained to his family and went with King Wucheng.

"Wait a minute!" suddenly a cold female voice came from the side, it was Huang Xue.

Ever since she had seen Mabel, she had some doubts about the matter, but she had thought about the whole thing from the beginning, and there was really no other possibility, so she couldn't help but speak out at this time.

In her mind, she had to determine Mei Bo's identity before entering the palace to meet the Shang King. If Mei Bo is really a monster, it is naturally the best, and if he is really wronged, it will not make the Shang king bear the stigma of framing the minister. After all, they don't have any real evidence in their hands right now.

King Wucheng and Chao Lei both cherish their reputation, and they are a beauty in the palace, although they can represent the king of Shang to some extent, their reputation is really dispensable for themselves. Therefore, only she can stand up for the current situation.

So, Huang Xue said: "This doctor Mei Bo is a monster, and his spell is powerful, what if he arrives in front of the palace and suddenly becomes difficult and hurts the king? King Wucheng, the concubine thinks that his feet should be cut off before he can enter the palace to see the driver." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked, and she was punished before the crime was confirmed, but it was really a bit excessive.

Mabel was shocked: "Poisonous woman, who are you?

Huang Xue scolded angrily: "Bold, I am a dignified royal wife, a beauty in the palace, how can you be easily insulted?" After that, he turned to Tianhua and said: "Big brother, this person has insulted me too much, you go and take it down for me first, and break his legs." ”

She did not order Tianhua with her position, but asked Tianhua to make a move as a relative, although it was inevitable to end up with a bad reputation of bullying, but at this time it was the best protection for the majesty of the imperial court.

King Wucheng and Chao Lei had already understood what Huang Xue meant at this time, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored the matter.

Although Tianhua didn't fully understand, seeing that his father King Wucheng didn't stop Huang Xue from messing around, his sister Huang Yan even looked at her, and she also knew a little in her heart. So, he put away his sword and stepped forward to strike.

Mei Bo shouted angrily: "King Wucheng, you just watched this poisonous woman ignore the law and wantonly slander the court officials?"

After speaking, seeing that King Wucheng was still pretending to be deaf and dumb, he said to Huang Xue again: "Poisonous woman, what evidence do you have that I am a monster?"

Huang Xue said coldly: "You have committed many murders, and your hands are covered with blood, what is it if you are not a monster?"

Mei Bo was furious and said, "Poisonous woman, what evidence do you have that the people in the palace were killed by me?"

After saying this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and saw Huang Xue sneering: "When did I say that you killed someone in the palace?"

Mei Bo saw that King Wu Cheng and the others were slowly sharpening their eyes when they looked at him, and hurriedly explained: "I heard that many palace attendants had died in the palace yesterday morning, so I just guessed. ”

Huang Xue sneered: "The guess is quite accurate! The entire Chaoge City knows that the death of the palace people was due to the plague, only Doctor Mei, you guessed that he was killed by a monster, which is really remarkable." Big brother, what are you waiting for, take him down first. ”

Tianhua no longer hesitated at this time, rubbed his body up, and attacked Mabel with a punch in the chest.

Mei Bo was exposed by Huang Xue's words at this time, and he was no longer hiding at this time. He also threw a punch and slammed it into Tianhua's fist. As his fist swung out, King Wu Cheng and the other masters could clearly see that a burst of gray light flashed from his fist, and then the skin on his hand turned gray-brown, like tree bark.

Tianhua has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, how can he be afraid of him?

"Bang", like the sound of defeat, Tianhua took three steps back, and with a miserable cry in his mouth, he covered his hand.

That punch was opposite, and Tianhua's finger bones were broken twice.

Tianhua was a brave man, and he only covered his hand for a moment, then gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and took out a bright silver hammer with his other hand, and attacked the monster again.

King Wucheng saw that his son was injured, and he was afraid that he would suffer any more losses, so he grabbed the gold and lifted the pestle, and also jumped up and fought with Tianhua Mei Bo.

This time, Mei Bo's spell was launched with all his might, the gray light flashed, and the skin of his whole body turned into that bark-like color, and then completely ignored the blades on the attack of King Wucheng and Tianhua, and attacked the two of them with his fists.

King Wucheng and Tianhua didn't dare to catch his fist, Tianhua blocked with a hammer, and King Wucheng dodged with a pestle, poking at Mei Bo's right leg with a pestle.

Mei Bo couldn't change his moves, and was succeeded by King Wu Cheng, and everyone only said that he would at least be poked by King Wu Cheng's pestle and staggered, not wanting him to seem to be ignorant, but it seemed that he had not attacked him at all.

The three of them fought back and forth for a few rounds, and the two of them won in the subtle moves, but Maeber seemed to be invulnerable and had no pain, although the two seemed to have the upper hand, but they knew that they were suffering.

Chao Lei and Chanyu on the side saw that King Wucheng was eager to see that he couldn't take Mei Bo, and they were eager to try, so they wanted to help.

Huang Xue consciously took seven or eight steps back, and on this occasion, her three-legged cat's kung fu naturally didn't need to be revealed.

Huang Yan also retreated to Huang Xue's side on her own, and the task given to her by her father today was to protect Huang Xue, and she had to complete this task.

Suddenly, everyone heard a commotion coming from the house, and then nearly a hundred young people dressed as family members rushed out from inside, each holding kitchen knives, shovels, firewood knives and other household goods, all of them were indignant.

Chao Lei on the side shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Are you waiting for this to rebel? You can see clearly, Mei Bo is a monster, and the court is arresting him, why don't you hurry up and leave?"

When the family members saw that Mei Bo was gray at this time, they were all stunned.

Mei Bo, who was fighting with King Wucheng's father and son, also spoke: "Now that you can't help anything, why don't you leave Mei Mansion quickly?"

The family members were a little hesitant, and they didn't know what to do, when suddenly one of them shouted: "I've seen the old man like this, master, my Mei Zhong will never leave." I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have been taken in by my lord until now, and my lord has been kind to me and my parents. I don't care if the lord is a human or a demon, I don't know any court, I only know the lord, if you want to be unfavorable to the lord today, you have to step over my Mei Zhong's corpse. ”

After listening to Mei Zhong's words, the family members instantly seemed to have a backbone, and they all said: "We are also orphans taken in by the master since childhood, and now it is the time to repay the master and be loyal to the master, and we are willing to work hard for the master." ”

Chao Lei didn't expect the situation to change like this, and he stood there speechless for a moment.

It turned out that this Mei Bo was a 3,000-year-old plum tree that turned into a human form 80 years ago, and then left the mountains to practice in the world, but he was not a vicious demon.

His main practice is to absorb yin qi, which comes from many sources, such as women, nights, places where there is no sunlight all year round, and graves, which are not difficult to collect. He was at ease to cultivate for a few hundred years, and it must not be difficult to become a demon immortal.

Most of the plants are peaceful in nature, and few are more ferocious. In the 80 years since he entered the world, he has never killed a single person, but he has also helped many poor people, taken in many orphans, built bridges and roads, and is a good demon. More than ten years ago, he even got a local recommendation and was able to join the court as an official.

It is precisely because of this that Chanyu has never felt the evil demonic aura from him.

Originally, everything was fine, but a year ago, the king of Shang inscribed a poem in the Nuwa Temple to insult the saint, but it caused great dissatisfaction with Meibo.

It must be known that Nuwa Niangniang is the most sacred existence in the hearts of demon cultivators in the world, how can she be humiliated by a mortal emperor?

Later, news came from the demon world that Nuwa Niangniang was furious and vowed to take revenge on the Shang prince. If Niangniang is happy and can let him follow Niangniang to cultivate, it will be a great opportunity.
