Chapter 228: Whatever it takes

Nan Qingxue looked at Bai Jue in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Thousands of solutions flashed through her mind, and she vetoed them one by one, and it seemed that there was no good way to deal with this tricky matter at the moment.

But she didn't want to see Bai Jue hurt because of this, and even if she lost the battle, she would do everything to protect him.

She bowed her head a little deeply, as if she had made a great deal of determination.

"You guys go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

After Nan Qingxue finished speaking, she went back to the room directly and closed the door, leaving the two of them the slightest chance to react.

Bai Jue looked at Nan Qingxue's back and had to sigh secretly, she had lost a lot of weight these days because she was worried about fatigue, and it was time for her to rest.

Chen Zhi saw that she had already issued an eviction order, and naturally there was no reason to stay where she was, so he nodded slightly to Bai Jue and left.

Bai Jue stood there and pondered for a while, then shook his head helplessly and left the courtyard.

Nan Qingxue has been secretly observing the two of them since she closed the door, and after they both left, she opened the door and left the city of light without a trace.

She knew that if she took the initiative to tell Bai Jue to go to the demon clan alone, she would definitely be blocked by him, and in the future, she was afraid that he would have to follow wherever she went, which would be inconvenient for her to act in the future.

So in desperation, she had to secretly go to the demon clan to find out the bottom without telling everyone, and if she was lucky, she could take the opportunity to solve the human being.

In this way, the demon clan will have a great loss, and without the resurrection technique, the demon army will not be endless, which is beneficial and harmless for the light city.

As long as it is beneficial to the victory over the demon clan in Light City, even if the road ahead is bumpy, she will not frown if she goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire.

This thought made her decision a little stronger.

And in the evening, when Bai Jue went to call Nan Qingxue for dinner, he found that the room was already empty, and he didn't find any trace of her in the courtyard.

In a hurry, he immediately ordered someone to look for Nan Qingxue, but half an hour had passed but there was no news.

Chen Zhi happened to come to Nan Qingxue to discuss things at this time, and when he heard the news that she had disappeared, he couldn't help but be a little worried, so he discussed it with Bai Jue.

"In the afternoon, I just learned that the demon clan had captured a human being, and the city lord disappeared, so it seems that there must be something strange about this."

Bai Jue only worried after he noticed that Nan Qingxue had disappeared into Light City, and he didn't have the heart to analyze the ins and outs of this matter.

Now after Chen Zhi reminded him of this, he immediately reacted, and said with a somewhat unhappy face: "The city lord must be impatient and went to the demon clan to explore the bottom by himself." ”

Chen Zhi also nodded a little heavily, now things are getting more and more tricky.

"Chen Zhi, the demon clan is too dangerous, the city lord is afraid that she will encounter an accident if she goes alone, I have to go to help him, and the city of light will be handed over to you for the time being."

Bai Jue frowned slightly, and when he waved his sleeves and was about to leave, he was stopped by Chen Zhi.

"The city lord is resourceful, I believe she can easily resolve all the dangers, and the war will break out at any time, the enemy is current, the city lord must think that you are there, so she will rest assured to go to the demons, if you go this time, the demons will take advantage of the chaos to attack, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chen Zhi was extremely worried about the safety of the city lord, but Bai Jue was now the only backbone of Guangcheng, and he couldn't let him take this risk.

"But ......"

Bai Jue sighed secretly, his face was a little gloomy, but he still stopped.

Nan Qingxue soon entered the edge of the demon race, she had already understood the characteristics of the demon people before she came, so she deliberately "dressed up" herself, so it was easy to blend into the inner realm of the demon race.

She casually pulled a demon clan member and asked, "I heard that the clan recently arrested a human being, do you know what it is used for?" ”

The demon was startled by Nan Qingxue's sudden movements, and immediately became vigilant, but when he saw that she was also a demon, he let down his vigilance.

"This kind of thing has always been clear only to the leader of the demon clan, how can we guards be qualified to ask, but why did you suddenly inquire about this matter?"

"I'm not very curious, no human in our demon race has ever dared to approach, and when the war between the demon race and Light City was about to break out, don't you think it's strange that a human was captured?"

Nan Qingxue saw that the demon was already a little suspicious, so she casually found a reason to prevaricate.

The demon man glanced at Nan Qingxue with some suspicion, and then patted her shoulder helplessly and said, "Curiosity kills the cat, be careful if the guard leader hears it and feeds it to the vicious dog." ”

After saying that, he went about his own business.

But even this couldn't stop Nan Qingxue's curiosity, she asked the two people one after another, but still didn't get half of the useful information.

She sighed a little disappointed, she didn't expect that she came prepared but had no place to go.

"Have you heard, the demon clan has recently come to a human being, and now he has been arrested by the leader."

"I've heard about this, but keep quiet, there are guards everywhere, and if they hear it, be careful of your own life."

"Cut, those guards only know how to bully people, so I'm not afraid of them."

At this moment, a group of demon guards passed by, and the demon who was quite arrogant just now immediately nodded and bowed, but those guards ignored him.

The man next to him snorted a little amusedly, "Aren't you afraid, then why do you still behave like this." ”

"Cut, what do you know, I'm a Zhiju."

"Too lazy to argue with you." The demon man was a little disdainful to argue with him about this, and then asked, "I don't know how that human is doing now, whether he was dragged to feed the vicious dogs." ”

"Hey, don't say it, this person can't be compared with the treatment of those previous humans, who were either thrown into the mountains and mountains or bitten beyond recognition by vicious dogs."

His words instantly aroused the curiosity of another person, and he asked with some confusion.

"What about the human being this one lately?"

The man saw that there were no guards around before he said with a look of anger: "You don't know this, that human being was placed in the Purple City by Mu Yuansi. ”

"Well, it's a strange thing that he wasn't executed."

Nan Qingxue listened to the conversation between the two demons in the dark, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up an evil smile.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

Nan Qingxue asked someone about the direction of Purple City again, and then went straight to Purple City.

Nan Qingxue went to the city and went straight to the place where Xu Shen was.

This Xu Shen should be regarded as a person with status in the demon clan, and the house he lives in must be relatively large, so she easily inquired.

Looking at the huge mansion in front of her, Nan Qingxue couldn't help but sigh, it's really corrupt!

The glazed tiles of this house, the vermilion lacquer gate and the stone steps, all show the word style.

The door opened, and a man came out of it, the man looked like a small man, and he still had a gong in his hand, he knocked hard, and a crisp sound was immediately heard.

Nan Qingxue plucked out her ears, what was she doing.

After a while, she was surprised to see that a large number of women suddenly rushed over, lined up at the door, and a man walked out with a booklet: "Everyone line up, and then register one by one." ”

Nan Qingxue noticed that many of these women were demon women.

What is this doing?

Nan Qingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled a woman next to her, and whispered: "What are you guys doing here?" ”

"Don't you know? I heard that this human named Xu Shen is recruiting handmaids, and this is the first time that we have a human here, so I came to see if I was curious, and I don't know what human handmaidens need to do. ”

The corners of Nan Qingxue's mouth twitched, why are there still people curious about this kind of thing.

But hearing them say that, she had a little idea in her heart.

If she can recruit it, she will be able to get close to the water and get the moon first!

This way, everything is much more convenient.

She rolled her eyes and immediately stood in line.

She looked at the demon women in front of her and found that most of them were dressed revealingly, bringing out their figures.

Nan Qingxue touched her nose and looked down at herself, compared to them, she was dressed more conservatively.

She pondered for a moment, fearing that she would look out of place, and after a moment's hesitation, she tore her clothes apart and changed her appearance.

The people in front were all personally selected by Xu Shen, and Nan Qingxue noticed that most of the people selected by Xu Shen were some people who were dressed in revealing clothes.

She pouted, the little pervert. I actually like this tone.

But Nan Qingxue didn't care. She just shredded a little under her dirty clothes, compared to these people. She's actually conservative.

There were many people in front of them who were eliminated, and when it came to Nan Qingxue, Xu Shen looked Nan Qingxue up and down, and only nodded after a while.

Xu Shen selected a total of ten maidservants, and all of them were dressed in revealing clothes except for Nan Qingxue.

"Someone will familiarize you with the environment today."

Xu Shen said lightly, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left directly.

The people behind him immediately stood up, looked at them, and began to lecture them on precautions.

Nan Qingxue didn't listen much at all, anyway, she had been selected now, and she didn't care about the rest at all.

She just needs to find a way to stay, and all she has to do now is how to make Xu Shen feel satisfied.

Nan Qingxue touched her chin, probably familiar with the environment in the house.

"You go back and prepare well, and tomorrow you will choose the young master's personal maid." The butler spoke lightly, and when the words fell, he turned to leave.

Nan Qingxue followed a servant to her room, these maidservants were all arranged in a courtyard, and those people looked around curiously, as if they were a little excited.

Early the next morning, Nan Qingxue was called up, she was wearing a very conservative dress, and the other maidservants were dressed more and more revealingly.

Because they all know the style that Xu Shen likes. That's why I wear these on purpose.

When they saw Nan Qingxue, these people were shocked and didn't react for a long time.

Nan Qingxue looked calm.

"Follow me."

The butler glanced at them faintly and led them to the hall.

Ten women lined up in a row, and it didn't take long for Xu Shen to rush over.

He looked at these women, and the rest of the women all looked like they were scratching their heads, only Nan Qingxue looked indifferent.

Xu Shen glanced at these people lightly, and finally fixed his eyes on Nan Qingxue,

He looked at her carefully, pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "It's you." ”

The words fell, and he turned around and left.

Hearing that Nan Qingxue stayed, the rest of the people were shocked.

"How is this possible? How could it be her who stayed? ”

"It's just that she's dressed so ......"

Those people all looked incredulous, the corners of Nan Qingxue's mouth hooked slightly, and she didn't say anything, and left with the housekeeper in front of her.

"Let me explain to you first, as the young master's personal maid, you need to pay attention to his daily life, and you usually need to do chores for him when the young master is practicing."

The butler instructed as he walked.

Nan Qingxue nodded, pretending to be well-behaved on the surface, following Xu Shen's side, cleaning his room when he was fine.

Looking at Xu Shen who was doing it on the side, Nan Qingxue subconsciously cast his gaze over, there were many talismans and seals in front of him, as well as some herbs.
