Chapter Forty-Eight: The Labyrinth Garden

The Zhou family's labyrinth garden, Shen Qingjiu has been here a few times, but she didn't come by herself, Zhou Nuo took her, and she didn't walk through the maze garden once.

She knew that in the middle of the labyrinth garden, there was a small flower bed, and a musical fountain, at a fixed time, the fountain would rise and fall with the music, the fact that the sun was shining, the water from the fountain would reflect colorful colors against the backdrop of sunlight and flowers, it was particularly beautiful, and Zhou Nuo liked this garden very much.

The housekeeper took Shen Qingjiu to the entrance of the labyrinth garden, and there was already a group of people waiting there, and the person standing in front, Shen Qingjiu recognized, was Zhou Nuo's father, the richest man in the demon city, and the owner of the demon capital mansion, Zhou Jinsheng.

This is a middle-aged man with a serious expression, between his eyebrows and eyes, with the momentum of a person in a high position, Zhou Jinsheng is not only the richest man in the demon city, but also the president of the demon capital Chamber of Commerce, leading the entire demon capital's business, is a person who stomps his feet, and the entire demon capital business trembles.

Shen Qingjiu stood in front of him, almost didn't dare to look into his eyes, and called in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou is good." ”

Zhou Jinsheng replied in a deep voice and said, "The hound is just barking and doesn't dare to enter, so I think there is something special to enter this garden, and I'm sorry for you." ”

Actually, he didn't need to say anything, when Shen Qingjiu approached this labyrinth garden, she felt a very strong demonic aura, this would be a big demon, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should be looking for the Demon Hunting Mansion, probably Shen Qingjiu happened to be here, so she was called to come and have a look.

Shen Qingjiu took a deep breath and said, "It's not troublesome, it should be, but I haven't caught a demon alone, I may not be able to succeed, if it fails, Uncle Zhou shouldn't laugh at me, and don't tell my grandma." ”

Zhou Jinsheng's expression on his face loosened slightly, and he nodded in response: "I won't tell Mrs. Shen, but if you need help, my people, you can use it as you like." ”

Shen Qingjiu glanced at the people around her, although they were all "fierce and evil" people, but they were all ordinary people, dealing with ordinary people, one could fight ten, but when they were on the demons, it was not so easy, so she shook her head and said, "No, it's not good to have too many people, then, I'll go in." ”

Zhou Jinsheng raised his hand and said, "I'm outside, if you need to, just speak loudly." ”

Shen Qingjiu took a deep breath, and then stepped into the labyrinth garden.

This labyrinth garden is built with shrubs, there are special people responsible for pruning and maintaining, the height is about two meters, after ordinary people go in, they will be completely submerged in the green shrubs, if they are not familiar with people, it is extremely easy to get lost, and they may never be able to get out again.

Shen Qingjiu followed the direction of the demonic energy, slowly walked forward, trapped in this green labyrinth, only the sun overhead could guide her direction, the demonic energy gradually became thicker as her footsteps approached, when Shen Qingjiu turned a few corners, she saw the demon, smoothly a little excessive.

When she saw this demon, she was really taken aback, standing in front of her was a horse, a horse with a black body, a long tail, black and shiny mane, flicking and flicking, standing there gracefully, drinking the water in the pool, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and he was very thirsty.

Shen Qingjiu stood in the distance, raised his hand and said hello: "Hi! ”

When the black horse heard the voice, he turned his head and looked at Shen Qingjiu with a pair of dark eyes, but he only glanced at it, and then he turned his head to drink water.

Shen Qingjiu was suddenly a little frustrated, she was bold, walked in front of the black horse, and spoke again: "That...... This is someone else's house, you can't drink water here, if you're thirsty, I'll take you somewhere else to drink water, okay? ”

The tone of discussion seemed to impress the black horse, who raised his head from the pool again, looked at Shen Qingjiu with dark eyes, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Shen Qingjiu replied honestly: "My name is Shen Qingjiu, I am from Taiji Building, I am the heir of the Shen family, who are you, why are you here?" ”

The black horse shook his long tail and said, "You see, I am a horse, a black horse, and when I came here, I was a little thirsty, and I saw that there was water here, so I came and took a sip of water." ”

"That ......"

Shen Qingjiu asked hesitantly: "Do you have a hukou in the demon city?" ”

"Hukou?"

The dark horse seemed to not understand this term well, and let out a puzzle in his mouth, and then said: "I don't have that kind of thing, I don't have a hukou, what will happen?" ”

Somehow, when talking to this black horse, Shen Qingjiu was a little nervous, stretched out a finger from each hand, quietly put it together, and whispered: "It's not going to happen, it's just that it will be caught by the people of the Demon Hunting Mansion." ”

Although her voice was very small, she was still listened to by the dark horse, tilted her head slightly, and said, "What will the Demon Hunting Mansion do to me if you catch me?" ”

"This ......"

Shen Qingjiu hesitated for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said: "I don't know, I haven't seen how they deal with the captured demons, but, can you leave here, this is a private residence, your appearance scares the master's family, if you don't have a hukou in the demon city, then follow me back to Taiji Tower for the time being, and then, find a time, you can leave the demon city again." ”

The dark horse once again sent out his doubts: "Taiji Tower? ”

Shen Qingjiu nodded in response: "That's where I live, the demon who lives in the Taiji Building, the demon hunter can't enter the demon hunt, this is the rule of the Taiji Building." ”

The dark horse seemed to be thinking about it, and did not immediately answer Shen Qingjiu's words.

Shen Qingjiu was not in a hurry, she stood in place, waiting patiently, the weather was very good, the bright sun shone down, the horse seemed to glow all over his body, it was a black and shining light, and at this time, the music suddenly sounded, and the originally calm pool, in an instant, the water column gushed out, straight to the sky.

The black horse seemed to be taken aback, raised its front hooves, and raised its head to "neigh".

This horse is extremely tall, he is standing there taller than Shen Qingjiu, now his front hooves are raised, Shen Qingjiu is standing in front of him, like a chicken standing in front of an eagle, the eagle only needs to move its claws, and she will be defeated.

The strong sense of oppression made her even stop breathing, and she quickly stretched out her hands to cover her mouth, while looking for a direction to escape, she didn't want to fight with such a tall horse.

It's just that after a short period of fright, the black horse stopped, put its two front hooves on the ground, first glanced at the fountain that was undulating with the music, and then turned his head, looked at Shen Qingjiu with both eyes, and said, "Yes, I'll go to Taiji Tower with you." ”

Is it so easy to say?

Shen Qingjiu was surprised by the change in the attitude of the dark horse, but it was also a good thing to be able to avoid a fight, so Shen Qingjiu didn't care so much, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then go out with me." ”

"Wait."

The dark horse called out to her.

Shen Qingjiu stopped and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

The black horse bent his front hooves, squatted down, and said, "Come up." ”

Ride...... Horseback riding?

Shen Qingjiu was really a little surprised, his eyes widened and he looked at it for a long time, and then he hesitantly walked to the side of the black horse, raised his hand and put it on the horse's back, jumped over, and rode on the horse's back.

The black horse straightened up, shook his horsemane, and said, "The little girl has a good heart, I'll take you out." ”

After speaking, he opened his hooves, stepped on the bluestone slab, and walked out of the labyrinth garden with a "da-da", Shen Qingjiu found that the horse seemed to recognize the road here, and he didn't need Shen Qingjiu's guidance at all, he knew how to go, and the map that Zhou Nuo prepared for Shen Qingjiu was useless.

One person and one horse walked out of the labyrinth garden like this, Zhou Jinsheng and the others were still waiting outside, and when they came out, the hunting dogs that had been quiet were all biting wildly, and those who were dragging the rope had to hold on to the rope so as not to let them rush out.

Shen Qingjiu turned over and dismounted, came to Zhou Jinsheng, and said: "It was this horse that went to the wrong place and broke in by mistake, I will take him away now, he has no intention of doing bad things, please don't blame him." ”

The black horse stood there quietly, looking at the sky and the earth from time to time, just like an ordinary horse, but it was much taller than an ordinary horse.

Zhou Jinsheng glanced at the black horse emphatically, then looked at Shen Qingjiu's body, and said: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured, many things have happened recently, Xiaonuo suddenly fell ill again, which makes me very worried, it is inevitable that there will be all the grass and trees, since he will not hurt people, then, take him away." ”

Zhou Nuo's illness, Shen Qingjiu was a little ashamed in his heart, and said: "Zhou Nuo will be fine soon, Uncle Zhou don't worry too much, I will come to see him when I have time, then, don't bother Uncle Zhou, I will take him back to Taiji Tower first, if the people from the Sad Demon Hunting Mansion find out, it will be troublesome." ”

Fortunately, the most troublesome person in the Demon Hunting Mansion now lives in Taiji Building, and if there is no accident, he should be chasing Shao Siyu to apprentice, and Shen Qingjiu at this time is very glad that Shao Siyu has attracted Yue's attention.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Jinsheng, Shen Qingjiu went to Zhou Nuo's room to say goodbye to him, and after doing these things, Shen Qingjiu returned to Taiji Tower with the black horse.

As a result, the people of the entire demon city knew that Shen Qingjiu, the heir of the Shen family, rode a black horse out of the Zhou family, after all, such a tall horse is not always seen, and in this society, there are not many people running on the street on horseback.

Shen Qingjiu became a well-known figure for a short time, and was also taken a photo by a passing good deed and posted it on social platforms.
