After Yao Guangxiao left, Chu Hao summoned Zuo Zixiong and instructed him to return to Beijing.

When he came to Jinhua Mansion from Yingtianfu, there were only Cao Zhengchun and Ao Bai beside him, but now that he has returned to Beijing, many people have gathered around him.

There are Fu Tianqiu's father and daughter, as well as the nineteen people from the Qianhu Institute headed by Zuo Qianhu, as well as Ao Bai and Cao Zhengchun.

Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye have not returned since chasing the giant ape that night.

Ning Caichen knew that he couldn't be an official with his own skills, and Fu Qingfeng's attitude towards him was getting colder and colder day by day.

Sad, he stayed in Jinhua Mansion.

Because the number of people was much larger than when they came, it took three full days to return to Beijing.

……

On this day, Chu Hao and his entourage once again passed by the tea stall outside Lishui County.

But the old man who set up the stall was gone, leaving only a decomposing corpse.

The tea stall collapsed to the side, as if it had experienced a bandit.

Chu Hao was supported by Cao Zhengchun, approached the tea stall, and saw a broken banner with the word 'tea' lying on the side of the road, and the tea word was full of black and red blood stains.

Looking at the corpse that was separated not far away, Chu Hao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

It had only been a few days before a living person died in front of his eyes.

He looked in the direction of Nanjing City, thinking about the three patches of medicine that Yao Guangxiao gave him. I knew in my heart that the real catastrophe had just begun.

Secretly saying this, he turned his head sideways to Cao Zhengchun and ordered: "You are fast, go to Jiangning County first to inquire about the location of the Traceless Villa, and I will arrive later." ”

Cao Zhengchun bowed to receive the order, then turned over and galloped in the direction of Jiangning County.

After watching his back disappear from sight, Chu Hao returned to the sedan chair with Aobai's support, and asked Aobai to notify the others and divert to Jiangning County.

Jiangning County is not far from Lishui County, located in the southeast of Nanjing.

As soon as Chu Hao arrived outside Jiangning County, he heard an old voice sounding outside the sedan chair.

"The magistrate of Jiangning County and the gentry of the whole county welcome the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After Chu Hao opened the sedan curtain, he saw more than 30 people with panicked faces, kneeling respectfully not far away.

The leader is dressed in a cyan official uniform with a patch with a 㶉 (xi) 鶒 (chi) pattern sewn on his chest.

He looked to be in his forties, with a thin build, and he looked extremely capable.

Chu Hao beckoned to him, and when he stepped up, he asked, "What's your name?" ”

Jiangning County Ling bowed down and clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen's surname is Yang, and his single name is a jade character." ”

"Yang Yu?"

After Chu Hao whispered softly, he asked, "How did you know that I would come to Jiangning County?" ”

Yang Yu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, when Shen Shi, Gonggong Cao came to Jiangning County to inquire about Weichen Traceless Villa, and informed Weichen about your coming to Jiangning. ”

"Cao Zhengchun ......"

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the others?" ”

Yang Yu looked a little uneasy, swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Cao is just fighting a demon in the county. He was worried that you didn't know about this and would be hurt by demons if you strayed into the county, so he sent Weichen to inform him. ”

Chu Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"What kind of big demon?"

Yang Yu bowed down and replied, "Your Majesty, that's a louse wearing black armor and about half a foot high. This demon has been ravaging Jiangning for a long time, and Weichen has also organized Jianghu knights to strangle it several times, but its ferocity is too strong, and it can summon overwhelming lice at the first order! ”

At this point, he sighed softly.

"Forty-seven masters have died on these lice, and they rush at a person, and it doesn't take a few breaths for that person to become a dried corpse."

Chu Hao was shocked, and frowned: "What is Cao Zhengchun's situation at this time?" ”

Yang Yu bowed down and said: "When Weichen went out of the city, Cao Gong fought with that big demon fairly, and it seemed that he was evenly matched. ”

Chu Hao shook his head after hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's ability he knew, the so-called equal strength with the monster, I think it was just a defense in the whole process.

After thinking about it, he turned his head sideways and said, "Aobai, you go into the city to help him, and after you get rid of this demon, the two of you will come back to find me." ”

"Bow to the order!"

Ao Bai immediately took a step forward and bowed down to receive the order.

After watching him leave, Zuo Zixiong on the other side of the sedan chair ordered the rest of the people in the Thousand Households to wait on the spot to pick up materials and make a fire.

At the same time, a handsome scholar who was at the back of the crowd secretly returned to Jiangning County while everyone was not paying attention.

As soon as he returned to the city, he leaped through the houses and shops along the street, and soon came to a very large mansion.

After returning to the mansion, he turned left and right along the corridor for a while, and came to a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

In the pavilion at this time, there was a handsome young man dressed in white who was smiling and playing the piano.

The sound of the piano is euphemistic and continuous, like a meandering valley and mountain spring.

After half a ring, the young man rested with his hands on the piano, and while taking the tea handed by the maid beside him, he asked, "What did you inquire about, how did you investigate?" ”

The scholar said with a smile: "The news from Jiangning County is indeed true, and the emperor is really outside the city." ”

The young man chuckled lightly and said, "People say that there are countless demons in the city of Nanjing, and the city is already in ruins, and even the emperor is trapped in the palace.

But at this moment, the emperor came to Jiangning County.

In this way, either the rumors are false, or the emperor has eliminated the demons in Nanjing City.

In any case, we have to go and meet in person to see if this emperor is worthy of the service of Traceless Villa. ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the pavilion.

At the same time, Ao Bai rode his horse all the way in the county seat, and finally found Cao Zhengchun before sunset.

When Ao Bai found Cao Zhengchun, he was holding a true qi mask on the outside of his body, and there were dense lice crawling on it.

And not far away, a demon wearing black armor, with a head of lice and a human body, was smiling openly: "Old thing, this king will see how long your turtle shell can last!" ”

"It's been a long time since this king tasted the blood of a martial arts master!"

When the words fell, it suddenly turned its head to look at the roof of a house, its face changed in an instant, and it muttered greedily: "Martial Dao Innate!" This is definitely the taste that can only be exuded by martial arts! ”

"Kids, go get this guy!"

As soon as it spoke, countless lice flew out from behind it, overwhelmingly flying towards Aobai.

Ao Bai originally wanted to hide aside and wait for Cao Zhengchun to be devoured by these lice, but now that he was discovered by the main owner, he simply stopped dodging. Immediately jumped off the roof with a laugh, and shouted: "Wait for the humidified oviparous, and if you come to a million, you can't stop the general!" ”

With that, he rushed head-on into the dense swarm of lice.

On the ground, the monster in black armor looked stunned.

"Ben General?"

"Could it be that this person is the general of the Great Cadre?"

As soon as it thought of this, it hurriedly shouted: "Children, be careful, you must spare his life!" ”
