Zhang Qingfeng left the Hou Mansion and got into a carriage, and the stuffy gourd that drove the car sounded with a whip, and the wheels slowly rolled up.

In the carriage.

The little black dragon leaned on the window, looking at the houses and pedestrians on both sides of the street, with an excited face.

Zhang Qingfeng was lying on the soft couch covered with a thick blanket, his fingers wrapped around a strand of black and shiny hair draped behind the head of the little black dragon, looking at her emaciated back, his eyes were gentle and calm.

"It's not enough. ”

A clear and blunt indifferent voice sounded, and Li, who was sitting opposite Zhang Qingfeng, wrapped in a black robe and only revealing a pair of eyes, suddenly spoke.

Zhang Qingfeng let go of the half-wrapped hair on his fingers and looked at Li, with a look of doubt on his face.

"Even if all the Black Dragon Guards are promoted to the third rank, they won't be able to resist my clansmen. Leigh continued.

"The walls of Quanyang City are too short to create any resistance for the Demon Leopard Warriors, and there are no strong and tall defensive towers outside the city, even if there are many people, it is useless, we must recruit troops and horses, otherwise, it will not take three days to break the city. ”

"It's rare that you can think of me. ”

Looking at Li's eyes full of alien charm, Zhang Qingfeng said softly: "Tell me, do you think there is any way to repel your clansmen?"

Since Li declared her allegiance to Zhang Qingfeng, she put on this black robe and became his shadow, Zhang Qingfeng deliberately wanted to let this demon leopard girl who had never been out of the mountains adapt to the life of the human world as soon as possible, and she would take her with her wherever she went, but for a few months, she cherished her words like gold, and almost never spoke except for carrying out Zhang Qingfeng's orders, and it was the first time she took the initiative to speak like today.

"There's no way, unless we can turn Quanyang City into a Black Rose Castle. ”

Black Rose Castle, outsiders will be inexplicable when they hear these words, but Zhang Qingfeng knows what Li wants to say.

Demons are different from humans, not only in terms of appearance, but also in the architectural style of the city they live in.

The Black Rose Castle is a kind of landmark building of the demons, and it is also synonymous with the strongest defensive castle of the demons, in human language, it is a 'thorny turtle shell', a kind of closed castle like an urn city.

Zhang Qingfeng shook his head without thinking about it and said: "This is impossible to achieve, you have also seen, Quanyang City is too big, and there are too many people, not to mention that I am not qualified to dictate the fortifications of the whole city now, even if Emperor Zhou completely obeys my opinion, it is impossible to transform this city that accommodates at least one million residents into a black rose in just three or five years." ”

"Doesn't the king of a country want to protect his people?" Li was a little puzzled, "Even if there is any hatred between the Emperor of Zhou and you, it can be resolved through negotiation, or...... Manner of compensation. ”

Zhang Qingfeng smiled faintly and said: "Don't use your people's thinking to speculate on us human beings, some issues can't be explained to you in a few words, after a long time, you will naturally understand that there are many grievances and hatreds that there is nothing to talk about." ”

Li fell silent, these days by Zhang Qingfeng's side, she did see the difference between humans and demon leopards, but she still couldn't understand what hatred was more important than protecting the life and death of the people.

"If the emperor is unwilling to cooperate, why don't you personally recruit followers? You have countless wealth, and the Hou Ye is the highly prestigious god of war of the Great Zhou, as long as you want, there will be countless warriors willing to follow and fight together, as long as the war begins, you will become the most far-sighted prophet, and the clansmen will definitely support you as the throne." Li's eyes flickered, and her bright eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhang Qingfeng looked at Li's eyes and said, "I said that the thinking of humans and demons is different, and the rules of demons do not apply in the human world, don't worry, as long as I live, I will not let you fall into the hands of your clansmen." ”

"Is that a promise?"

Leigh seems to talk a lot today.

"Sort of. ”

"Huh. ”

"What are you laughing at?"

"There is no evidence. ”

"Yo, I'm learning pretty fast, you used the words I just used on those businessmen in the morning?

"Okay. ”

Li reacted quickly, took out a piece of rice paper and a pen from her robe, and handed it forward.

Zhang Qingfeng was stunned when he saw Limali's movements: "The pen and paper are ready, it seems that the plot has been planned for a long time." ”

Li nodded and said seriously: "Human beings are the most untrustworthy, and they can only count if they sign and draw, this is what you taught me." ”

Seeing that Li didn't look like a joke, Zhang Qingfeng took the pen and paper and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll sign a contract with you too." ”

After receiving the contract signed by Zhang Qingfeng, Liru received the treasure, and a rare look of joy flashed in her eyes, as if she was afraid of being snatched away, she swooped and hid it in the sleeve of her robe.

Zhang Qingfeng was a little overwhelmed by Li's reaction, he wanted to tell her, at least you can see what is written on it first and then be happy, but thinking that the other party can't read at all, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

The carriage finally stopped.

"Young Master, it's here. ”

The sound of the muffled gourd sounded outside the carriage, Zhang Qingfeng got up and pushed open the door of the carriage, and the five big words 'Qin's Auction House' came into view.

"Huh?"

Zhang Qingfeng frowned slightly, looked around, the original bustling at the door of the auction house was deserted, there were not a few people in sight, even the guy who greeted the customer at the door was gone, and the whole auction house felt like an old mansion that had been abandoned for a long time.

After glancing at the door plaque again, Zhang Qingfeng jumped out of the carriage after making sure that he had not gone to the wrong place, and the stuffy gourd suddenly took two sharp breaths, turned his head and said to Zhang Qingfeng: "Young master, there is a smell of blood." ”

Zhang Qingfeng, who had a bad premonition in his heart, suddenly had a cold look, a hurricane broke out at the entrance of the auction house, and the next moment his person had disappeared.

The stuffy gourd found Zhang Qingfeng in a side room at the end of a corridor in the backyard.

There were more than thirty corpses lying in the door of the not very spacious house, each of them had been pierced through the heart by a sword, and the death was horrific, and the floor of the house was stained red with blood.

Zhang Qingfeng stood in the middle of the sea of corpses and blood, his eyes stayed on the face of a middle-aged man at his feet, his face was as cold as eternal ice.

"Shopkeeper Wang?"

This middle-aged man with round eyes and a dead eye has seen it, it is the Wang shopkeeper of the Qin family's auction house, he had been to the Wu'an Hou Mansion half a month ago, from Zhang Qingfeng, the stuffy gourd knew that he was the real person in charge of the auction house business that the Qin clan stayed in Quanyang City after Qin Yun'er and Elder Li left, and he didn't expect that after half a month, he had turned into a corpse when he said goodbye.

"Brother, I'm afraid ......"

The little black dragon Bai Xue, who was changed by Zhang Qingfeng to call his brother and no longer call his master, walked into the backyard, and trembled with fright when he saw the corpse on the ground, and he didn't dare to approach it when he was far away.

Li, who was following behind Bai Xue, saw the corpses all over the ground, and the cold light flashed in her eyes, and she looked around vigilantly without making a sound.

"Test!"

Zhang Qingfeng coldly spit out a word, walked out of the room, came to Bai Xue's side, and hugged the little black dragon who was already trembling all over his body.
