Chapter 115: Mo Lan Chapter ~ Night Detective
After entering the general's mansion, the two of them didn't even see the general's face, and they were taken to the other courtyard.
A man and a woman, naturally, two rooms were arranged.
The butler who brought them in said that the general had seen them running around for a few days, and had specially let them rest early, and that the matter of eliminating demons would be discussed tomorrow, and that he would bring dinner over before nightfall, and that the two immortal envoys would not be hungry.
When the butler had left, and had closed the door, and the man had gone awayβ
"Squeak", Gao Qingzhu pushed the door in, and naturally entered Xu Xingchen's room.
There is a difference between men and women, but she does not shy away from it.
Originally, Xu Xingchen also had something to say to her, but since she came in, he got straight to the point.
"Do you think there's something wrong with this general?"
As soon as he heard Xu Xingchen speak, Gao Qingzhu immediately nodded: "It's not too late now, even if he is not in a hurry to catch demons, he should greet us, anyway, we were sent by Kunlun, so he doesn't take us seriously." β
Xu Xingchen sat down at the table, poured a glass of water to drink, and when he drank it all, he said slowly: "How to say that hunting demons is also a big deal, not to mention the situation in the city, the number of young men and women missing has reached dozens of people, and any further delay will only lose the hearts of the people, he is not in a hurry, there must be something." β
Hearing this, he cried out: "Heh, something, of course there's something, this general has long colluded with the fox demon, and the fox demon helped him do things, so he found young men and women for the fox demon to suck energy, and those who are missing have long since died." β
"Is there such a thing?" Gao Qingzhu was startled and actually spoke.
This heart-eater, why do you keep doing this kind of official spoiler thing?
Xu Xingchen thought it was her response to his words, so he nodded and said: "In this way, when it gets night, I will secretly check the entire General's Mansion, if I don't find anything, don't act rashly for the time being, it may be that we guessed wrong." β
"You can't be wrong." Gao Qingzhu's tone was firm.
"How do you know?"
"Huh." She sneered, sat down together, and put her hands on her cheeks, "Intuition." β
"Phew! Also intuitive. Heart-devouring scoffed at his words, "It's not because of Uncle Ben that you know about this." β
In front of Xu Xingchen, Gao Qingzhu was inconvenient to respond, and continued to look at Xu Xingchen who was sitting opposite him with a strong smile, and finally blushed.
I only heard him stammer: "Mo, Fairy Molan, I feel that this matter is not easy to say, it will be dinner in a while, you better go back to the room and rest for a while." β
"Yo, have you ordered me to be evicted?" Gao Qingzhu refused to leave, "Let's eat together, just have a meal, will you have less meat?" β
"This ......" Xu Xingchen still felt that it was inappropriate.
"Okay, don't call me Fairy Molan in private, I don't know how to do immortal arts, you call me a fairy, it's weird." Gao Qingzhu put his hand down and straightened the hem of his skirt, "The task of eliminating demons this time is up to you, I will see you show off your scenery and take the fox demon away." β
Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, it was useless for Xu Xingchen to say anything, and in just a few days of getting along, he could be regarded as having a general understanding of Gao Qingzhu.
This woman is more scoundrel than a scoundrel.
β¦β¦
At night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky.
Through the bright moonlight, a figure is quietly passing under the moonlight.
Stepping on the tiles of the roof and avoiding the soldiers guarding the house, Xu Xingchen's agile posture and flowing figure swam over the top, swinging his body, grabbing the corner of the eaves and landing smoothly.
He leaned against the window and listened carefully to the candlelight conversation of the people in the room.
"There are too many people who have disappeared in Fengrin City recently, fox fairy, look, do you wait for this limelight to pass, and then I will send you some people? Perhaps, I can pick some people outside the city......"
"General Xi, I don't care, but you also know that the use of immortal arts requires immortal power, and I can't do things for you if I don't suck people's essence."
There were two people in the room, one voice was vicissitudes, the other was cold and soft, and there was a hint of evil spirit?
Their identities couldn't be more obvious, it was General Xi and the fox demon.
Hehe, he blatantly discussed this kind of thing in the general's mansion, and he was not afraid of being heard?
After hearing what he wanted to hear, Xu Xingchen was naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he jumped back to the roof and disappeared under the dim moonlight.
"How? Bai Yanjun, did you say he heard it? β
At this time, a burly man with a beard on his face and a burly figure leaned against the window and listened carefully to the movement outside, he was General Xi stationed in Fenglin City.
On the other side, a slender man in purple was sitting upright drinking tea, he blew the tea in his hand, took a small sip, and then put the tea cup back on the table.
I only heard his cold and soft voice sound: "I must have heard it, but I don't know if he believes it or not, in short, wait and see what happens." β
"Wait and see?" General Xi couldn't understand, "Bai Yanjun, I really don't understand why you want to lie to him?" Those missing people were all killed by fox demons, why did you, an immortal, come to get involved in this? And let the people of Kunlun misunderstand? β
"The people of Kunlun?" The man who was called Bai Yanjun had a cold gaze, and suddenly got up, "That flame disciple named Xu Xingchen is a half-demon, do you think Kunlun will recruit a half-demon as a disciple?" β
"Half, half-demon." General Xi was stunned, "This, Bai Yanjun, you have found out that he is a half-demon, so how did he get into Kunlun?" β
"Kunlun is not stupid, but since he can blend in, it means that he has some magic weapon hidden in his body to hide his demonic energy." Bai Yanjun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I think it should be the twisting golden wheel he got from the demon world that hid the demonic qi on his body. β
"I still don't understand." General Xi asked again, "Then how did you know that he was a half-demon?" β
"Huh." Bai Yanjun smiled helplessly, "His appearance, like his bloodthirsty and cruel father, I will remember it all my life." β
Seeing that his eyes suddenly showed fierceness, General Xi was suddenly dumbfounded.
This Bai Yan Jun is an immortal from the Chong Void Realm of Luofu Mountain, and a few days ago he went to Fengrin City to learn that the fox demon was haunting, so he helped General Xi get rid of the demon, but who expected that the fox demon was cunning and abnormal, and he was still missing.
And today, Xu Xingchen entered the mansion and was bumped into by Bai Yanjun, and recognized him at a glance as the son of the half-demon Xu Zhaoxuan, so he set up a trap for him, so that Xu Xingchen would be accused of slandering the important ministers of the court and assassinating the immortals, so that Bai Yanjun would expose his half-demon identity and get rid of him personally.
As for what happened to this Xu Zhaoxuan and his Bai Yanjun, General Xi naturally did not know.
However, looking at the appearance of this bitter hatred, General Xi estimated that the enmity between the two would not be too shallow.
β¦β¦
When he returned to the room, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a living person standing in his room, which scared Xu Xingchen half to death.
"What are you doing in my room at night?"
Gao Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Come and hear your harvest." β
With that, she poured a glass of water and drank it all.
"You think this is your house?" Xu Xingchen closed the door and leaned against the door.
"Everyone is mixed up Kunlun, what are you and me?"
Xu Xingchen smiled and got back to business: "General Xi of Fenglin City and the fox demon were talking, and I heard it. β
"What's the content?"
"Actually, the content is not important, the important thing is to know that they have collusion, let's get rid of the demon, as for General Xi, don't worry about him."
Xu Xingchen said lightly, but it is not a simple matter to deal with the fox demon, Gao Molan fought it for three years before getting rid of it, which Xu Xingchen said that it could be removed?
However, he is a half-demon, with deep mana, and he is the young master of the half-demon clan, and his mana is definitely above Gao Molan.
Maybe we can really solve this matter quickly and return to Kunlun early.
However, Gao Qingzhu always felt that something was wrong.
If you want to say that something is wrong, in fact, Xu Xingchen also noticed it, but he didn't throw the question out.
For example, how could this General Xi blatantly talk to the fox demon in the mansion? If this is heard by a passing by, won't it be exposed?
Gao Qingzhu, who was thinking about the same question, also turned his head and thought hard.
Seeing her like this, she spoke out in her heart: "Look, this general is in collusion with the fox demon, I told you a long time ago." β
"You saw it with your own eyes?"
Subconsciously replied to the heart-devouring words, Gao Qingzhu himself was shocked, this was heard by Xu Xingchen, and he thought he was talking to him, only to hear Xu Xingchen nod and say: "Yes, I heard it outside the house, I still remember the voice of the fox demon." β
"Then do you smell the demonic spirit?"
Xu Xingchen then remembered, it was true that he didn't smell it, but even he himself could hide his breath, let alone a fox demon?
It's just that the feeling that something is wrong is getting stronger and stronger, and finally Xu Xingchen himself is a little unsure.
That guy, is it really a fox demon?
Although General Xi was born as a military general, he has been mixed in this court for decades, and his mind should be meticulous, shouldn't he be so careless, he doesn't even know if he is heard?
"Looks like you didn't smell it." Gao Qingzhu saw the doubt in his expression, "It's better to be careful, this is the General's Mansion, not Kunlun." β
Xu Xingchen knew this, but he still couldn't let go of his heart.
He suddenly had a strange idea: Those two of them couldn't be acting for him, right?
Shaking his head, Xu Xingchen dispelled this strange thought.
Forget it, it's better to rest early today, and talk about it tomorrow!
In this way, he drove Gao Qingzhu out of the house, and the two of them went to sleep deeply.
The next day dawned.
Xu Xingchen woke up early, got dressed early in the morning and came out to stretch, saw the housekeeper coming, and asked, "Is there anything urgent about this morning?" β
I saw the housekeeper bend his body and say goodbye: "Today, the general has something important to go out, it is really inconvenient to welcome the two, please wait for a while, and wait for the general to come back later to discuss the matter of eliminating the demon, the general's mansion will not dare to slack off the two, and the breakfast will be sent later." β
"The general is not available?"
At this time, Gao Qingzhu had also woken up and pushed the door out.
This ancient bed was really uncomfortable to sleep on, and it made her wake up with a sore feeling, as if she had been beaten at night.
"Ah, the snake fairy is also up, I wonder if the old servant woke you up?" The housekeeper is already very old, and his appearance of bending over and groveling is even older.
Gao Qingzhu waved his hand to get him up: "No, no, you go down." β
Looking at his staggering figure walking away, Xu Xingchen said: "This General Xi doesn't want us to catch demons." β
"Who knows." Gao Qingzhu shrugged his shoulders, "I'll go get some water and wash up first, and then we'll go for a walk around the city later?" β
"Not impossible." Xu Xingchen agreed.
After all, being hung aside by the general, and staying in the mansion all day is boring, so it's better to take a good stroll, and maybe you can find some clues.
What's more, Elder Qiu Li also assigned them a task, saying that he was looking for his daughter Qiu Ruoshui.
But this Qiu Ruoshui is obviously dead, and even the heart eater said that he couldn't find her.
Gao Qingzhu knew that it was in vain to find her, but she was idle, so she went outside to take a look and ask by the way, what if she asked something?
It's justβ
Gao Qingzhu was always uncomfortable in her heart, saying that she always felt familiar with the appearance on Qiu Ruoshui's portrait, but she couldn't remember it.
Or it's not that I've seen her face with my eyes, but the coquettish feeling released from my eyes, which she can't forget.
She was sure that Gao Qingzhu must have seen these eyes somewhere.
