Chapter 166: Who Is the Demon?

An hour later, the two carriages departed from the Jinde Inn, exited the city gates, and headed south.

Xu Zun originally had a carriage of his own, but the carriage was damaged by Wei Beihui before, but it has now been repaired. Sitting inside were Ku Niang, Ani and Xiwa, and the driver was still Liu Dong.

Ani once witnessed Wei Beihui being killed by Ku Niang's trachea, and she was naturally silent when she sat in the carriage, not daring to make a mistake.

The reason why Xu Zun spent so much effort to bring Ani was that in addition to wanting to get the information of the Xuanmen through Ani, he was also afraid that Ani would tell the bitter mother about it.

Of course, in addition to these two reasons, the idea of warming the quilt is not casually said.

Knowing that Xu Zun had a lot of entourage, Cai Kun generously sent another carriage to Xu Zun, although this one was much smaller than his own, but the workmanship materials were very particular, and it was more comfortable to sit on, which could be called the luxury version of the carriage industry.

At this moment, Xu Zun, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu were sitting in the carriage of the new carriage, and the driver was one of the eight guards.

The other guards rode horses and escorted them around two carriages.

Due to the haste of the incident, Xu Zun had not yet had time to get acquainted with the eight guards, and only knew that the leading guard was named Dai Long.

The temples of these eight people are bulging high, and the green tendons on their necks are eye-catching, and they look like they have a horizontal kung fu.

Moreover, these eight people didn't say much, even though they came from the high-ranking Inner Guard Mansion, they didn't show any criticism of Xu Zun.

It can be seen that these eight people are all well-trained professional guards.

"My lord, don't, don't ......" In the carriage at this moment, Zhao Yu took the ingot of gold handed over by Xu Zun into his arms, and said hypocritically in his mouth, "It's too precious, I don't dare to ask for it, hehe......"

Xu Zun and Huo Anu looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, and they didn't speak for a long time, and they were stunned to see Zhao Yu's face red.

"My lord," Zhao Yu said, patting the gold in his pocket, "you are really bold, this ingot of gold is enough for me to drink for several years!" No, the buyer's winery is similar, right? ”

"My lord......" Huo Anu returned the gold and said, "I'm not as shameless as him, I didn't follow him for money!" ”

"Take it," Xu respected handed the gold back to Huo Anu again, "I haven't sent you any silver before!" Besides, your iron umbrella broke twice because of me!

"Don't worry, if you can't mix up with me Xu Zun like a local tyrant, then I won't be happy in my heart!"

"This ......" Huo Anu looked at the heavy gold in his palm and asked hesitantly, "What is a local tyrant?" ”

"Anu, you are a beautiful woman after all," Xu Zun said again, "You have to buy cosmetics and good-looking clothes, right?"

"Besides," he said to the two of them, "you two are guarding me with your lives, and no amount of money can get you this affection!" ”

"Yes, my lord is right, I am so moved!" Zhao Yu clasped his fists and said, "I also admire my original choice too much, it's right to follow the adult!" ”

Seeing this, Huo Anu stopped being humble and put away the gold.

"By the way, the Queen Mother also rewarded me with a hundred horses of fine silk," Xu Zun said again, "When we are free, we will make decent clothes to wear......

"My lord......" At this time, Zhao Yu finally said the question in his heart, "Let's leave Shangyuan City in the middle of the night, what are we going to do?" ”

"Yes," Huo Anu had asked no less than ten times before, and now he asked again, "What did Master Cai of the internal guard tell you when he came to you?" ”

"That's the case," seeing that the carriage had already driven out of Shangyuan City, Xu Zun no longer concealed it, and said to the two, "The Queen Mother gave me an edict to ask us to go to Yonghui to investigate a strange ghost cannibalism incident, and it is said that it was Yonghui County Shou himself who was eaten!" ”

"What!?"

Zhao Yu and the others really stared at each other without any surprise.

Xu Zun briefly explained, saying that this case came strangely and suddenly, and he was worried that Li Yan would not be able to stand the stimulation, so he sent Xu Zun to deal with the case with full authority and find out the truth.

"What's going on?" Monk Zhao Yuzhang was dumbfounded, "Shangyuan City is still a mess, let's just leave?" ”

"yes, it feels like it's messy," Huo Anu was also puzzled, "Where did the ghost come from?" How could the dignified county guard be eaten by ghosts? Also, why are you in such a hurry? ”

"Lord Xu......" Zhao Yu said again, "Do you think that this kind of ghost eats people, and it is more powerful than the Xuanmen anti-party?" ”

"You don't need to say more," Xu Zun said, "This is the Empress Dowager's decree, let's do it." I am sentenced in Tangzhou, and I should be responsible for the serious cases under the jurisdiction of Tangzhou. ”

"Yonghui...... Hoo ......" Zhao Yu sighed, his face showing deep concern, "Although I haven't been there, I heard that it is remote, barren and barbaric, and people worship primitive religions and believe in ghosts and gods!"

"As the so-called poor mountains and bad waters make a lot of people, let's be careful!"

"yes?" Huo Anu looked forward to it, "The county guard can be eaten by evil ghosts, which shows how dangerous it is, and it's exciting to think about it!" ”

"Cut," Zhao Yu snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice, "I'm still too young to know the dangers of the rivers and lakes......"

"The situation over there is unclear now, so it's useless for us to think about it, let's wait until later!" Xu Zun said, "You have a good rest these days, and you are ready."

"Yes! But......" Huo Anu asked, "My lord, if we go to Yonghui, how shall we go?" ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Zun asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"If you go straight to Yonghui," Zhao Yu replied, "you can go directly to the territory of Yonghui from Shangyuan County through Changqing City." ”

"That's right," Huo Anu said, "the iron umbrella is broken, I want to go back to Xinye County to get one, the iron umbrella is at my uncle's house." ”

"Oh......" Xu Zun hesitated for a moment and said, "Anu, if it hadn't happened suddenly, the Queen Mother would not have ordered us to set off late at night, if we went to Xinye County first, we would have gone far away!" ”

"That'...... "My lord," said Huo Anu, "in this case, how about I ride to Xinye County to get an umbrella, and then chase you from there?" When you reach Changqing City, I will be able to catch up. ”

"It's okay," Xu Zun nodded, "But you have to be careful on the road, do you need me to send two guards to you?" ”

"Your Excellency is laughing," said Huo Anu confidently, "Isn't it a joke for me to be escorted by the guards?" ”

"Okay," Xu Zun said, "Then we'll wait for you in Changqing City, and I'll let Liu Dong wait at the East City Gate." ”

"Okay," Huo Anu clenched his fists, "In that case, then I'll leave now!" ”

"Well," Xu Zun told again, "be careful! ”

In this way, Huo Anu went to another carriage to pack his luggage and prepared to ride to Xinye County overnight.

"There is no iron umbrella," looking at Huo Anu on the other carriage, Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and said stupidly, "She will definitely not be able to beat me, hehe......"

"By the way, Lao Zhao," Xu Zun pretended to think of something and asked, "Qiu Dingtian, do you understand?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and agreed casually, "Do you dare not know?" His old man is a former national teacher! What's wrong? Why did you bring him up all of a sudden? ”

"It's nothing, what's going on with what I asked you to inquire about?" Xu Zun asked, "Has the master with magic words found out?" ”

"I've checked, among the top ten masters in the world, none of them have anything to do with magic words, and among the masters in other states, those with magic words are basically bad old men, and there is really no such number one as a bitter mother......"

"Then ......," Xu Zun asked again, "Among Qiu Dingtian's disciples, are there any people with magic words?" ”

"Well," Zhao Yu frowned, "I don't know much about it!" My lord, what do you ask about this, do you think that Ku Niang has anything to do with Qiu Dingtian? ”

"Shhh......hhh

And at this moment, there was a neighing outside, and Huo Anu had already mounted his horse and walked away, disappearing into the night......
