Chapter 13 The Countermeasure
Xiao Er has been leading them to a private room in the innermost. Liyang waved his hand, Xiao Er lowered his head and retreated, and did not forget to close the door easily.
There is also a person sitting next to the tea desk in the house, with handsome eyebrows, a leisurely posture, a slight smile on the corner of his lips, a flick of his sleeves, all indifferent and leisurely like walking in the mountains full of camellias, but exuding a lazy and dangerous temperament, dazzling people dare not look directly.
Xiao Zhao'er never expected to see Hanchen here, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while, and turned her head to look at Liyang, but saw that he unceremoniously went straight to the tea table and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Hanchen glanced up at her and said, "What are you doing there, don't come and sit yet." ”
Raised his sleeves and raised the teapot and added some flower tea to her cup, "The flower dew here is made with fresh petals and fruit juice, with the morning dewdrops, it tastes good, you can taste it." ”
Xiao Zhao'er didn't take the cup, but just asked, "What kind of trick are you guys playing?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Demon Venerable is wise and wise, how can you not know what I mean?" Xiao Zhao'er sneered, "Shouldn't Lord Daredevil happen to pass by tonight to save me, and just happened to bring me here to meet you by chance?" ”
"You're smarter than I thought." Hanchen raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Tell me, what else did you see?" ”
"You've known for a long time that the Corpse Demon and the Serpent were trying to rebel. Lord Daredevil pretends to work with them, but in fact she's always on your side. It's just that I can't figure it out, since you know everything, why don't you just arrest them, but let them plot secretly? Xiao Zhao'er touched her chin and thought for a while, "Unless you want to lure the snake out of the hole and put a long line to catch the bigger fish behind them." ”
The smile on the corner of Hanchen's mouth became deeper and deeper, "What else?" ”
"Lord Daredevil just arrived to rescue me tonight, I guess I was ordered by you. If I'm not mistaken, you brought me here because you have something to tell me to do, right? ”
Even Liyang couldn't help but show a look of surprise and appreciation, Hanchen applauded lightly a few times, and said, "What a smart girl, good analysis." ”
"Thank you for the compliment. Can you tell me now what you want me to do for you? ”
"Last time I told you that I wanted to go to Snake Ji and ask you to come over, but you refused. And this time? Hanchen tilted his head, a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, "Are you willing to stand on my side this time?" ”
Xiao Zhao'er smiled self-deprecatingly, "You said that." Do I have a choice? ”
Hanchen smiled, "It doesn't seem to be, but I still want to hear from you personally." ”
Xiao Zhao'er showed an expression of 'I can't do anything about him', stood up and saluted him, and said, "Zhao'er is willing to serve the Demon Venerable and go to the soup to fight the fire, so it's okay, right?" ”
"Alright, sit down." Hanchen shook his head with a smile, and said, "Eat something, and let Liyang send you back to Snake Ji in a while." ”
"Still let me go back?" Xiao Zhao'er asked in surprise.
"The snake queen and the corpse demon are not of the same mind, you should have seen it. When you go back, find a way to separate them. Most of the people around Snake Ji now were given to her by corpse demons, not her cronies. If you promise to help her get rid of the corpse demon and clarify your relationship with me, she will probably keep you by her side again. You're so smart, I don't need to teach you the specifics. ”
"Well, I'm still sure of dealing with the snake queen, but the corpse demon ......"
"Don't worry, tomorrow I will send him other tasks to get him out of the magic capital, and there will be no more threats to your safety."
"Thank you," Xiao Zhao'er continued, "So, what is the purpose of going around such a big circle and letting me go back to Snake Ji again?" ”
Hanchen hooked the corners of his mouth, "As you just said, catch big fish." ”
Zhao'er thought for a while and said, "In this demon world, there should only be the four demon kings who are qualified to be called big fish by the Demon Venerable." Lord Night Demon is definitely not, although the corpse demon is barely among the demon kings, mainly by virtue of the identity of the son of the previous demon king, the demon venerable in order to give the demon people an explanation, by the way to show tolerance and generosity, only to give him a demon king, in terms of strength, he is not worth mentioning compared to the other three demon kings. Then the only ones left are the Demon Xiyin and the Demon King Heizheng. ”
Hanchen looked at her appreciatively, "Yes, what I want to fish for is the Demon King Heizheng." ”
Xiao Zhao'er nodded, "I understand, don't worry, Demon Venerable." ”
"This place is not far from the Demon Palace, I will go back by myself, so I won't bother the Night Demon Lord to send him off." Xiao Zhao'er got up and said goodbye, "The two adults must have something to discuss, so I won't bother, Zhao'er will retire first." ”
"Wait a minute." Hanchen stopped her out loud, paused and said, "I haven't asked you, what do you want?" ”
"What do I want?" Xiao Zhao'er tilted her head to look at him and smiled lightly, "I don't want anything." When all these troubles are over, as long as the Demon Venerable doesn't kill me and let me live well, I will be satisfied. ”
After saying that, he blessed his body and turned away.
A gust of wind blew outside the window, and a few manzhu flowers and leaves rolled and fell.
"Don't look at it, everyone is far away." Li Yang supported his cheeks with one hand, and while refilling the tea in his cup, he teased: "What, do you really like this little girl?" It's good, it's a little smaller. Tsk, I haven't seen you for so many years, have you changed your taste? ”
Hanchen glanced at him lightly, "Liyang, be quiet." ”
Liyang pursed his lips and muttered, "It's still so boring." Looking at Hanchen's serious expression, Liyang seemed to have an understanding, frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with that girl?" ”
"It's not." Hanchen replied, but his eyes gradually became ethereal, "It's just that I feel more and more that she is very much like a person." ”
"Oh, your first love? Tsk, if you think about it, it's really very similar. Not only the appearance, but also the look, temperament and personality, are seven points similar. Liyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you suspect that this little girl was sent by the Heavenly Clan?" ”
Hanchen shook his head, didn't say any more, and asked instead, "How is the matter of Peach Valley handled?" ”
"It's been cleaned up. As you might expect, the people there are all dead soldiers left behind by the Nine Toads, and they have been pretending to be ordinary civilians all these years, and if it weren't for our people who found out that they tried to secretly contact the Corpse Demon and the Snake Queen, I am afraid that they would not have found this group of remnants. Liyang continued, "This time, let's use the excuse of the valley lord's rudeness to slaughter the valley, and the black government will definitely seize this opportunity to publicize the Demon Venerable's insanity and encourage other demons to rise up against you." ”
Hanchen smiled coldly, "That's right, I just want to lure him out." A thousand years ago, he wanted to get rid of me and become a demon himself. After so many years, I originally thought that he had stopped, but I didn't expect him to still refuse to give up. Since he is determined to toss, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
After a while, Hanchen suddenly said, "By the way, this streamer banquet, I called Xiyin back." ”
"Oh, I heard from the corpse demons." Liyang nodded and replied lightly.
Han Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "When are you two going to make trouble with this awkwardness?" ”
Liyang put down the cup and got up to leave, "There's nothing else, my subordinates will retire first." ”
"Come back," Hanchen grabbed him and said helplessly, "It's not okay to talk about him." ”
Liyang Tie sat down with a blue face, Hanchen smiled slightly, and told him some more things before letting him go.
The next day, Xiao Zhaoer was pulled out to drink tea by Liyang.
"I said," Zhao'er held the teacup in both hands and buried herself in the cow drink, "Although the food in the Demon Realm is difficult to eat, the sweet tea is really delicious, better than the tea in all places in the Five Realms." ”
The corners of Liyang's mouth hooked when he heard this, "Listening to your words, it seems that I have been to many places." ”
Zhao'er counted with his fingers, "I've been in the human world, the underworld, and the demon world." ”
Liyang smiled, and before he could answer, he heard a sudden bustle at the door.
"What a negative man, people look forward to the moon day and night, and finally look forward to you back, but there is a new person around you." The door curtain made of elephant bones was lifted, and two maids walked in with a bewitching demon beauty.
