After Cai Xu returned to the main hall of the mansion and sat down, a fair-skinned figure came out from behind the screen of the main hall.

This person's face was white, three points whiter than a dead corpse that had been soaked in water for a long time, and he was also wearing a coarse linen robe like a white filial piety robe.

If Zhang Mu was present at this time, he would definitely be shocked, because what came out from behind the screen was actually a silver corpse demon with the strength of condensation.

The silver-turned corpse demon sat straight next to Cai Xu, casually arranged a shielding spirit curtain, and said, "You guide that little foundation building patrol to Dongming Mansion, what if he discovers the secret of the 'Blood Refining Plan'?" ”

"To guide him to Dongming Mansion is to ask him to discover the secret of the "Blood Refining Plan"! Cai Xu said lightly.

The Silver Corpse Demon frowned and said, "Why do you want to do this? ”

"In order to make the "Blood Refining Plan" foolproof. After Cai Xu finished speaking, seeing that the silver corpse demon did not understand, he continued.

When he found some clues about the "Blood Refining Project", he mistakenly thought that the "Blood Refining Project" was held here in Lingya City, and then used him to spread the news. ”

"At that time, I will use the weak defense of Lingya Mansion as an excuse to secondment some county officials and guards from Dongming Mansion."

"When the time comes, when those corpse demons of yours slaughter Dongming City to carry out the "Blood Refining Plan", they will hardly encounter decent resistance! ”

After hearing this, the silver corpse demon glanced at Cai Xu with some jealousy, and said: "You deliberately took back the seal letter from Heishi County, in order to lure this foundation building inspector to you, and then guide him to Dongming Mansion without leaving a trace, and then implement the calculation you just talked about?" ”

Cai Xu smiled lightly and said, "That's a good guess, it's true." ”

"Sure enough!" The Silver Corpse Demon snorted, and then said, "Then how do you make him think that Spirit Cliff City is in danger of being slaughtered, and then act according to your wishes?" ”

"That's where your cooperation comes in." Cai Xu said.

The Silver Corpse Demon asked, "How do you cooperate?" ”

"It's simple, just give up a few red bronze corpse demons." Cai Xu said.

"How many bronze corpses?" The Silver Corpse Demon frowned and said.

Cai Xu glanced at the silver corpse demon with a little disdain, and said, "What, a little reluctant?" ”

"Hmph, if you can make the "Blood Refining Project" successful, don't mention a few, what's the matter if you give up all of them! The silver corpse demon said coldly.

When Cai Xu heard this, he said sarcastically: "Hehe, even if you corpse demons give birth to spiritual intelligence, they are really a group of ruthless and unrighteous people!" ”

The silver corpse demon completely ignored Cai Xu's ridicule and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how to cooperate?" ”

"Let a few red bronze corpse demons deliberately show some flaws in Dongming Mansion, let this inspector catch them, and then leave some specious evidence, pointing to the danger of slaughtering the city in Lingya City." Cai Xu said.

The Silver Corpse Demon sneered and said, "Will that Inspector Zhuji believe it?" ”

Cai Xu glanced at the silver corpse demon indifferently and said, "As long as you do it really enough, you can't help but believe it!" ”

"In that case, then I'll go back and prepare."

Just as the silver corpse demon was about to get up, Cai Xu suddenly said.

"While you are cooperating with me, you should have also found Zhan Shun, the governor of Dongming Mansion, right?"

The eyes of the silver corpse demon tightened, but he didn't expect Cai Xu to know about him and Zhan Shun.

Cai Xu saw the reaction of the Silver Corpse Demon and knew that he had guessed correctly, so he continued: "Did you tell Zhan Shun that the 'Blood Refining Plan' would be carried out with hundreds of thousands of living people in Spirit Cliff City? ”

The silver corpse demon felt a little chill in his heart at this time, Cai Xu not only knew that it had been in contact with Zhan Shun, but also knew some details, and said coldly: "How do you know this?" Is it Zhan Shun who told you the secret? ”

Cai Xu said lightly: "Guess! ”

"How is that possible?" The silver corpse demon exclaimed.

"Huh." Cai Xu chuckled lightly and said slowly, "Do you know the reason why I cooperated with you?" ”

It was nothing more than wanting to rely on the "Blood Refining Plan" to impact the realm of Jindan, and then sit on the position of the county guard of Tangyang County. The Silver Corpse Demon said.

Cai Xu said: "If you just cultivate to reach the realm of Jindan, it is not enough to sit on the position of county guard. ”

The silver corpse demon said suspiciously: "Didn't you say before that the current Cangling Imperial Guardian Princess Zhengjun has no one available, as long as she reaches the realm of Jindan, and then pretends to take refuge in the past, she can sit on the position of the county guard?" ”

"Hmph." Cai Xu snorted coldly and said: "No merit, even if I sincerely take refuge in the past, the princess Zhengjun, the first beauty of the Miluo Imperial Court, may not be able to push me to the position of county guard." ”

"And you want to?" The Silver Corpse Demon asked.

Cai Xu's eyes were deep and he said: "Kill a government executive who colludes with the corpse demon, and then save the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who are being slaughtered by the corpse demon, this feat will naturally be able to sit on the position of county guard without hindrance." ”

After listening to Cai Xu's explanation, the silver corpse demon rolled his bloodshot eyes a few times, and said: "Heh, it's really insidious, while removing competitors, he has added countless merits to himself, it is really a good calculation to kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"If you tell me all about your plan, aren't you afraid that I will go to Zhan Shun's to tell you now?"

"Do you think he won't know anything about your cooperation?" Cai Xu smiled contemptuously and said, "I'm afraid his intentions are exactly the same as mine!" ”

The silver corpse demon's eyes shrank suddenly, and said, "Sandwiched between the two of you, it really sends chills down my spine!" ”

Then he seemed to think of something, sneered, and said: "You said that Zhan Shun is the same as you think, so how could he support the Dongmingfu County guards to you?" ”

"Definitely!" Cai Xu said confidently.

"Why?" The silver corpse demon was puzzled.

Cai Xu got up and walked towards the door, and when he arrived at the door, he said: "Slaughtering demons and saving the city with the power of one person, this kind of merit can't help but be unmoved!" ”

The silver corpse demon took a deep look at Cai Xu's back and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect you to even calculate this." ”

"After the inspector sent back the letter, it is estimated that he will immediately go to Dongming Mansion to find out, and it is time to go back and prepare." Cai Xu said.

"Hopefully everything will go as you planned."

After the silver corpse demon finished speaking, he walked out of the main hall of the mansion and flew out of Lingya City in a hidden way.

...

Days.

On the way back to Heishi County with the colorful sky feather, Zhang Mu always felt that something was wrong, so he slowly recalled the whole process of meeting Cai Xu.

Gradually, he found that Cai Xu's move of taking the seal letter from Heishi County back to the mansion seemed to be a little abnormal, as if he was deliberately waiting for him to come to Lingya Mansion to retrieve the seal letter.

In addition, it seems that it was inadvertently mentioned that there are traces of corpse demons in Dongming Mansion, but now that I think about it, it seems to be deliberate.

Zhang Mu couldn't understand why Cai Xu did this for a while, so he decided to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and send the letter back to Heishi County first.

It was close to noon.

Zhang Mu returned to the sky above Heishi County, put away the gray colorful sky feathers, and landed in the county office.

At this time, Yu Lechuan and Wang Qizheng were sitting in the main hall of the county government, and Wang Qijian took the lead in saying loudly: "Inspector Zhang, can you get back the seal letter." ”

Zhang Mu bowed his head, took out the seal letter and handed it to Yu Lechuan, and said with a smile: "Now it can be regarded as a veritable Yu County." ”

Yu Lechuan put away the seal letter, laughed, and said, "Inspector Zhang has worked hard all the way to get the seal. ”

"Little things." Zhang Mu waved his hand, sat down on the side, and said to Wang Qi: "Wang Weiling, there is something I want to ask. ”

"What does Inspector Zhang want to ask?" Wang Qi said.

Zhang Mu wanted to verify it from Wang Qi first to see if what Cai Xu said was true or false, so he said.

"Do you know that there are also traces of corpse demons in Dongming Mansion?"

Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "I've heard some news of corpse demons appearing in Dongming Mansion. ”

"Is it early or late compared to here in Blackstone County?" Zhang Mu said.

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "Dongming Mansion is two or three thousand miles away from Heishi County, and the news of the appearance of corpse demons is also intermittent, so it is difficult to judge. ”

Zhang Mu saw that Wang Qi couldn't be sure, so he thought that he could only go to Dongming Mansion and investigate in detail.

Subsequently, Zhang Mu discussed some specific matters in Heishi County with Yu Lechuan and Wang Qi, and then got up and rushed to Dongming Mansion.

When Zhang Mu arrived at Dongming City, since it was already evening, he decided to stay in the city for one night.

Night.

Zhang Mu looked at the lively lights hanging high in the city, and suddenly became interested, so he wandered around the street to feel the customs of Dongming City.

After walking for a while, I saw that there seemed to be a quarrel in a shop selling jade next to me, so I walked over curiously.

in the store.

The shopkeeper was reprimanding a plainly dressed young customer, shouting, "Poor ghost, don't want to leave if you don't buy it today!" ”

The young customer said, "How can you sell something like this, you have to buy it when you touch it!" ”

"If you can't afford it, just say it, what excuses!" The shopkeeper sneered, sneering.

The young man's face flushed slightly, and he said, "Why do you look down on people so much? ”

"If you want me to look at it, then you can buy it!" The shopkeeper said excitedly.

One sells strongly, the other doesn't buy.

The quarrel between the two not only attracted Zhang Mu, but also other people around them, who stood at the door of the store to watch.

The crowd pointed fingers at the young people, some gloating and some sympathizing.

Zhang Mu was a little strange when he saw this scene, and asked a person, "How can the owner of this store be so arrogant?" ”

When the man heard the sound, he looked Zhang Mu up and down, smiled, and said, "This son, at first glance, you are from other places!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Mu smiled lightly and said, "Why do you say this? ”

"Because you don't even know about this store." The man said.

"Is there anything special about this store?" Zhang Mu asked.

The man was also enthusiastic, leaned closer to Zhang Mu, and whispered: "Behind this shop, there is the support of the guard of the government, so it is so unscrupulous!" ”

When Zhang Mu heard the man's words, he felt strange in his heart.

Generally, the guards in the government have reached the level of foundation building, and it stands to reason that they will not compete with mortals for profit.

So he said: "Wei Ling are all real people, why do you want to open a store to earn these gold and silver things?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Lord Wei Ling disdains gold and silver vulgar things, but Lord Wei Ling's family will do it!" ”

Zhang Mu instantly understood that this shopkeeper should be a family member of Wei Ling, and replied to the man: "Understood." ”

At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart that the rule of Dongming Mansion was so chaotic.

Then, watching the shopkeeper and the young customers get more and more arguing, he walked into the store.
