Chapter 22: She Absolutely Won't Allow It!
The Firefox Queen left in despair, Tao Niang followed out uneasily, Jian Lin hesitated for a moment, squatted down and looked for the peony hairpin in the mess.
Soon she found it, she played with the delicate and luxurious peony hairpin, and was going to send it back to the Firefox Queen in person another day, and by the way, she knocked on the side and asked, maybe she could ask something.
Don't expect to ask the Demon Venerable about this matter, that person is elusive, and he may appear one day.
The Firefox Queen seemed to be hit hard, and did not come out to greet the guests that night, saying that she was sick and needed to rest.
After Jian Lin knew, she felt that this matter was even more serious than she imagined, if she guessed blindly, forget it, in case Hongqu really knew the Demon Venerable, and the two bumped into each other another day, wouldn't the Demon Venerable be exposed?
What can I do? On the one hand, Jian Lin hoped that the Demon Venerable would not come to Izumo Pavilion, and on the other hand, he hoped to contact him as soon as possible and secretly tell him about the Red Canal.
Jian Lin was worried, knowing that there was a pit ahead, and she couldn't stop it.
However, before a solution could be devised for this matter, another, more pressing thing happened.
The next night, the Rin Yu Guard suddenly appeared, and a black terrifying atmosphere instantly enveloped Izumo Pavilion.
The screams arose, the monsters scattered in fright, and after a chaotic process, the otherwise joyful and lively hall was silent.
Jian Lin squatted at the corner of the third floor, looking down through the gap in the staircase fence, and his whole body stiffened with fright.
The Rin Feather Guard, the big black bird of the Demon Emperor, slaughtered the terrifying monsters of the Spirit Crane Girl Clan.
They have a pair of black wings on their backs and a black mask on their faces, which has no facial features, only a red lightning-shaped charm, which means that they have no thoughts and are completely obedient to the orders of the Demon Emperor.
Their appearance means death.
Faced with such a terrifying and infiltrating situation, Peach Niang calmly walked out, stood at the front alone, and talked to the Rin Yu Guard, "I don't know what Rin Yu Wei has to do today, my Izumo Pavilion is a listed shop, and no one can delay our business for no reason." ”
The leader of the Rin Yuwei spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, without any emotional fluctuations, "Lord Bai Mei was poisoned and died violently this afternoon, and before he died, he identified the murderer as the Fire Fox Hongqu, and the Demon Emperor lost his love for him, and ordered me to come and arrest the Fire Fox Hongqu, send it to the altar, and avenge Lord Bai Mei." ”
Jian Lin's heart tightened, and instantly thought of the tragic situation of the Linghe girl, and thousands of thoughts poured out of her mind, and finally converged into one, no, she would never allow the Fire Fox Hongqu to end up in the same fate.
Without so much time for her to hesitate, Jian Lin quickly exchanged the stealth function with the system, stood up and rushed to the top floor.
Tao Niang and Hongqu's boudoir are east and west, and Jian Lin knows where she lives.
She was like a god, she ran to fly, and soon reached the top floor, pushed open the sliding door, and saw Hongqu lying on the couch in a daze, and was surprised to see her come in.
"I can't explain it to you! Trust me, it won't hurt you! Jian Lin closed the door and ran to her, stepped on the couch domineeringly, reached out to exchange the treasure box with the system, opened the lid to bring in the red channel, closed the box and stuffed it into the Qiankun bag, activated the stealth function again, and hid behind the corner drapery.
The action was done in one go, and it didn't take more than a minute before and after.
The treasure box, after seeing the snake boss's gourd magic weapon that day, she asked the system to search for a magic weapon with similar functions and put it in the exchange cart in case of emergency, which is one of her other life savers.
There was only less than a minute before and after, and Tao Niang pushed open the door of Hongqu and said calmly, "Hongqu, you ......"
The words were cut off, and Tao Niang looked at the empty room, obviously stunned.
Rin Yuwei behind him sensed that something was wrong, stretched out his hand and rudely pushed away Tao Niang, entered the room to check, and saw that there was no Hongqu figure, and the Rin Yuwei led by him gave an order, "Search for me!" ”
Rin Yuwei quickly divided into several groups, one group came in to search the Hongqu room, another group went to search the Cloud Pavilion, and one group directly smashed open the window and flew out to check from the air.
Soon they turned Izumo Pavilion upside down, still finding nothing, the furious Rin Yuwei sent his anger to Peach Niang, and slapped her fiercely, the delicate Peach Niang was powerless to resist, and flew out directly and hit the wall.
"Rin Yuwei," Tao Niang raised her head strongly, and said clearly word by word, "You are not qualified to beat me, the Demon Emperor promised that indiscriminate killing of innocents is not allowed in the Demon City, and it is your responsibility to not find the red canal, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Jian Lin's heart hurts, hateful, dare to hit her peach girl! The old hatred is not gone, and a new hatred is added!
Momosui had a tough attitude and argued with reason, but Rin Yuwei didn't do it again in the end, rummaging and searching until midnight, and then left angrily after finding nothing, making a mess of Izumo Pavilion.
After the chaos, the noisy and lively Izumo Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.
Jian Lin hid in the corner, waited and waited cautiously, and did not slowly walk out of Hongqu's room until the second half of the night.
Tao Niang was not in the room, Jian Lin walked down the stairs and found that Tao Niang was directing the little demons to pack up their things in the hall on the first floor.
She canceled the invisibility function and walked over silently, Tao Niang saw her appear, showing a reassuring smile, "I also said where you were hiding, didn't you scare?" Actually, it's not a problem, don't take it personally. ”
Doesn't it matter? Tao Niang and Hongqu, a boss and a top brand, usually seem to have a good relationship, Hongqu's life is not guaranteed, how can it not be a problem.
Perhaps the puzzled expression on Jian Lin's face was too obvious, and Tao Niang explained two more sentences, "The relationship between demons and demons is already weak, and life and death are common things, so it's good to get used to it as soon as possible." ”
Jian Lin didn't believe it, Tao Niang said that, and couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
She leaned into Tao Niang's ear and whispered, "Tao Niang, aren't you curious where Hongqu went?" ”
Peach Niang shook her head, looked left and right vigilantly, and whispered in her ear, "I'm not curious, Miss Ngapoi, if you know anything, don't tell any monsters." ”
Jian Lin was stunned for a moment, and faintly noticed some unwritten rules in the demon world, they rarely helped each other, nor did they fall into the ground, and they paid attention to their own affairs.
Izumo Pavilion rested for the night, and the next day night fell, and the doors reopened to welcome guests, still noisy and lively, not affected by the events of the red canal at all.
One of the top cards disappeared, and the other head card came up, and the male demon who was obsessed with Hongqu before, seeing that she was not there, only asked one or two words at most, and turned his head and began to laugh with the new top card.
Inside Izumo Pavilion, there are no monsters who care about Hongqu, and the little demon who dances with Jian Lin only looks at the new top card with envy, sighing when it will be his turn.
Faced with such a situation, Jian Lin couldn't cry or laugh, didn't this put her on top? The red canal is on her, what should she do next?
After thinking about it, once she started to manage it, it was impossible to throw the red canal out, she couldn't do this kind of thing.
The next night, Jian Lin left Izumo Pavilion incognito, went out to find out about the Red Canal, and then decided what she should do next.
The information she currently knows is that Lord Bai Mei proposed that night, asking everyone to join forces to kill the old monster who was slashed three times, and he was poisoned and died, which is inseparable from the slashing three swords.
And the Demon Emperor obviously stood on the side of the three knives, did not seriously pursue it, grabbed Hongqu as a scapegoat, did superficial work, and had a very perfunctory attitude.
Jian Lin went out to find out the seriousness of this matter, if all the monsters didn't care, then Rin Yuwei wouldn't seriously track down Hongqu, and when the limelight passed, she would be able to find an opportunity to send Hongqu out.
As for where to send it, she has no place to live in this world, and she can only trouble the Demon Venerable when the time comes.
Jian Lin went to lively places one night, wine shops, baths, martial arts halls, the monsters were drunk and unstoppable, talking about the things around the demon emperor, only said that a few veterans said that they were not sick, and the demon emperor was angry, or the high priest came out to dissuade him from making peace.
While listening, Jian Lin speculated on the situation, obviously it didn't get better, a white-eyed adult died, the old monster alliance was very angry, it was useless for the demon emperor to get angry, and in the end he still had to make peace.
At present, the scapegoat of Hongqu is still very dangerous.
Jian Lin came out of the wine shop, walked slowly along the river in a daze, saw many small vendors selling river lanterns, and realized that the Midyear Festival was coming.
The Midyear Festival is the favorite festival of the monsters, because there is a terrifying atmosphere, you can also put river lanterns, it is said that there are hundreds of demons parade in the streets at night that day, all in all, how lively how to come.
She stood in front of the stall for too long, and the stall owner took the initiative to ask, "Little fox demon, do you want to buy it, if you don't buy it, please get out of the way, don't delay my business." ”
"Buy," Jian Lin came back to his senses and picked out the most traditional lotus lantern, "Two spirit stones, right, here you go." ”
Jian Lin turned around with the lotus lamp, and suddenly bumped into a hard embrace, which made her nose numb, and she looked up with tears in her eyes, who else could it be besides the Demon Venerable.
Jian Lin didn't bother to get angry, Mozun likes scary stinky problems, and he didn't care how many times he said it, so she could only endure it.
"I caught you, and you came out to hang out again." Demon Venerable's eyes lowered and he said expressionlessly.
Jian Lin put the river lantern into his sleeve and said indifferently, "So what?" ”
After speaking, she raised her steps and walked forward, and the Demon Venerable followed her footsteps, and said with a cold snort, "I found a problem, now your temper is getting bigger and bigger, and the previous gentleness and pettiness are really pretending. ”
Jian Lin admitted this, after all, she had always wanted to attack the Demon Venerable before, of course she had to pretend, but now she was tired by various things, and gradually revealed her true nature, she was not a good-tempered person.
"It's all forced," Jian Lin sighed, raised his eyes to look at the Demon Venerable, and hurried to ask the matter, "Young Master, do you know that Hongqu girl from our Izumo Pavilion?" ”
"I don't know," Demon Venerable said slowly with his hands behind his back, "but I've heard about her, and it's amazing that she was able to escape under the pursuit of the Demon Emperor Guard." ”
"She didn't escape, I saved her," Jian Lin raised his face and stood still, explaining everything and everything, "Young Master, she is on me now, I don't know what to do next, you give me an idea." ”
