Volume 1 Yujing's Demon Disaster Chapter 0016 The Demon Case Rises Again
It had to be Xiao Meiniang, who coaxed Shang Xiaoxiao to smile with just a few words, and finally accepted the silver hairpin without any guilt.
Shang Qing threw a grateful look at Xiao Meiniang, and Xiao Meiniang forcibly held back the throbbing in her heart.
After all, the little girl is already in her prime, and if she is placed in an ordinary family, she is already a wife at this age.
Shang Xiaoxiao, at the suggestion of Xiao Meiniang, put on new clothes in Daixiang Building, Xiao Meiniang also helped her comb a double-ring bun (in the shape of a girl, the origin of the evolution of the maid), a little powder, the moment the silver hairpin was inserted, she was already fresh and refined, and it added a youthful and lively beauty of this age.
In the room on the second floor, Xiao Meiniang praised her without hesitation: "My sister looks really good, my sister is so envious!"
Then the two went downstairs one after the other, Shang Xiaoxiao's face was shy, he was silent, his hands were tightly pinching the corners of his clothes, and his body was slightly stiff.
Shang Qing was stunned, and a vague memory appeared in his mind, he was still young at that time, his father and mother took his little hand and went to Xia's house to attend a party, and his sister looked like his mother at that time.
"Brother, let's go!" Shang Xiaoxiao was very unnatural under the gaze of many eyes in the building, and she was inexplicably nervous, just wanting to escape from this place as soon as possible.
The sun hung high in the sky, and the pedestrians on the streets gradually thinned out. Shang Qing proposed to go home, Xu Bo echoed, but Shang Xiaoxiao was in high spirits, she was completely immersed in happiness and joy at the moment, cheering.
Why do you come home so early! The envious eyes of the surrounding crowd, she said... Enjoyed it.
"Shang Qing."
Meng Huai'an's surprised and eager voice sounded behind Shang Qing, and he was stunned for a moment, making sure he heard correctly.
"Shang Qing, quick, follow me back to the division, there is a task."
Meng Huai'an had already run up to him.
Xu Bo took the initiative to take the wooden box in Shang Qing's arms, Shang Qing smiled slightly, "Uncle Xu, you take Xiaoxiao back, don't open the food shop these days, wait until I go home!" ”
Shang Xiaoxiao was emotionally lost, watching her brother's back quickly disappear into the crowd, a shallow mist rose in her eyes.
……
The inner courtyard of the Monster Hunting Division.
"There was an accident in Wannian County again, and in the morning the branch brothers over there rushed to the division to report that last night their branch commander Yuan commanded the envoy folded in the hands of a tiger demon, and the Yuan commander was a six-grade demon catcher, and the division master was furious when he heard it, but the lantern was imminent, and the division really couldn't spare manpower. The master ordered you and me to go to Wannian County immediately, and be sure to arrest the tiger demon. Meng Huai'an said worriedly.
What's so ......
"What does it mean that the division can't spare manpower, and the whole department has nothing to do with Master Meng and me Shangqing?" Shang Qing deliberately raised his voice.
The young Jiupin Demon Hunter from Wannian County was restless at this time, looking anxious, "Two adults, the commander is still in the hands of the Tiger Demon, life and death are unknown, and all the brothers in the division are looking forward to the two adults!" ”
Meng Huai'an also looked innocent, and comforted: "Eliminate your anger, eliminate your anger!" I know that Lord Xiaoqing is angry, but the matter has come to this point, Commander Yuan is still in the hands of the tiger demon, let's go over to find out the situation first! ”
Shang Qing was speechless, and complained: "Has this Wannian County become a demon nest?" Five years ago, there were two demon disasters in a row, heh! This came out again, okay, those two brothers died in vain. ”
"Master Meng, hurry up!"
The three of them quickly left the Yujing City, spurred their horses, roared away, and rolled up the yellow sand.
……
Wannian County is one of the three counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, which belongs to the land of Gyeonggi, bordering the Canglan Mountains in the south, the Dawei River, a branch of the Canglan River in the north, and the Yujiang Grand Canal connecting Jiangnan Province in the west.
The water transportation in the county is developed, rich businessmen gather, and the county order of each Wannian county lives happily like a fairy.
At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the county government, the current Jiang County Order is receiving a mysterious guest.
"Master Jiang, how do you think about it? The prince said, as long as you can suppress this matter, the position of the county order of Wannian County in the future will be your Jiang family. ”
"My lord, this matter is extremely tricky, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, let the official ask the ancestor of the clan." Jiang Xianling was not carried away by what the mysterious person said, he knew that if the Jiang family really did this, there would be no turning back.
Seek skin with the tiger, if there is no power to kill the tiger, I am afraid that he will be buried in the tiger's mouth.
"The people of the Demon Hunting Division have arrived, if Lord Jiang still has any concerns, the prince gave me an edict when he came, and I am willing to give you a copy of the sage's notebook rubbing in the palace to your ancestor of the Jiang family." The mysterious man, who always wears a mask, throws a thunderbolt.
Jiang Xian Ling was short of breath in an instant, his Jiang family needed that sage's notebook too much, it could be related to the rise and fall of the entire Jiang family for five hundred years.
If the ancestor had obtained the creation in the notebook and found a trace of sanctification, the Jiang family would have prospered for more than five hundred years.
"My lord, I hope that the prince will be the one who speaks, and after the matter is completed, he will send the ruben to the Jiang family." Jiang Xianling no longer had any worries.
The mysterious man clasped his palms, and a laugh came from the mask: "Okay, the prince really didn't see the wrong person, and he knew that Lord Jiang would not let him down." Waiting for the good news of adults, and sharing the prosperity in the future! ”
"Lord Jiang, the people from Jingzhao Mansion have arrived."
The master of Wannian County whispered outside the house.
In this room in the inner courtyard, only this master can get within ten steps.
The mysterious man suddenly laughed: "Lord Jiang is a good means!" The Jiang family's young lins really live up to their reputation. ”
……
The branch of the Demon Hunting Division in Wannian County is not in the county seat, but in Nanshan Town outside the city, the three of them have been whipping up all the way, but in an hour, they have come to the branch outside the division.
The hair of the three of them is full of dust.
The three of them turned over and dismounted, and the Jiupin demon catcher who went to Yujing City to report the news pushed open the gate of the branch, which was a humble mansion, and there were many farm tools and sundries piled up in the yard.
The Jiupin Demon Hunter smiled awkwardly and explained: "The two adults laughed, Yuan commanded the self-clean, mobilized the brothers in the division to raise funds to buy a few acres of land, and was self-sufficient on weekdays, although the days were a little harder, but everyone enjoyed it."
Meng Huai'an and Shang Qing were in awe.
"Xiao Lu, how long have you been in the division?" Meng Huai'an asked.
The dark-skinned Ninth Rank Demon Hunter Lu Cheng smiled shyly, "It's been two years. ”
After saying that, he ran into the house, and after a while, three sturdy men came out of the house, and Lu Cheng stood behind them.
The man at the head of the man had darker skin, and his temples had been dyed with light frost, he walked forward quickly, and said excitedly: "The two adults have worked hard, it's great that you can come, the general secretary has not forgotten us, Commander Yuan is finally saved now, the two adults hurry into the house and drink a cup of coarse tea first, fill your hunger."
It's past the feeding meal, and it's going to be cooked. The ordinary people of Daqian basically have two meals a day, and those with better families have three meals a day. The first meal is called morning food, the second meal is called feeding, and the third meal is called food eating.
"Xiao Lu, you and Xiao Yang hurry up and make something to eat, the two adults must be hungry." The man said to Lu Cheng behind him.
"Two adults, please inside!"
The remaining four people entered the room and sat down separately, and the man said: "Let the two adults laugh, my name is Luo Zhong, and I am the deputy commander of the Wannian County Branch, this is Xiao Wu, I don't know what to call the two adults?"
Meng Huai'an said: "My name is Meng Huai'an, and his name is Shang Qing."
After speaking, he added: "Commander Yuan is Gao Yi, it's really embarrassing for me."
Shang Qing really didn't like this kind of politeness, "Lord Luo, can you tell me more about the tiger demon?" ”
Luo Zhong took a sip of tea and said: "Yesterday evening, there was a man in the town who went up the mountain to chop wood as usual, but he didn't return for a long time. Commander Yuan was helpful in the town, and once assisted the town's two government soldiers to get rid of a large insect that ran down the mountain. After listening to the man's mother-in-law, Commander Yuan took a few of our brothers up the mountain to look for it. At the beginning, we found a few dried blood stains on the mountain, because there were often fierce beasts on the mountain, and everyone did not pay attention to it. The sky gradually darkened, we found a dilapidated mountain temple on the mountain, Yuan Commander saw that everyone was tired, so he asked the brothers to go inside to rest for a while, we just made a fire, Yuan Commander said to go out for convenience. After a while, we heard a few tiger roars, and a few of us hurriedly followed the sound, and when we arrived, we found the saber and demon suppression plate of Commander Yuan, and there was some blood on the ground. The two adults, the strength of Commander Yuan's envoy is clear to us, and the ordinary beasts in the mountains are definitely not his opponents. A few of us searched on the mountain until the middle of the night, and never found Commander Yuan, but we found the man's bones, except for the head can still be distinguished, there is no flesh and blood on the body, which is miserable, and several of us have also reacted at the scene. Even Commander Yuan was not the opponent of the tiger demon, not to mention a few of us, so Xiao Lu hurried to the headquarters for help. Commander Yuan is a good person, and he implores the two adults to save him back, Luo Zhong is grateful, but he has an order, and he will not give up. ”
After Luo Zhong finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, and Xiao Wu beside him also followed.
They are all honest and loyal men!
After hearing this, Shang Qing frowned tightly and didn't say a word.
Commander Yuan's name is Yuan Mu, he is in his fifties, and he is a six-rank demon hunter with rich combat experience, and when he first carried out a mission, Yuan Mu left a deep impression on him.
Most of the time it's more auspicious!
These few of them, except for Meng Huai'an, who is a fifth grade, but their comprehensive strength should be about the same as Yuan Mu, even if they are strong, they are not much stronger, Luo Zhong and Shang Qing are both seventh grades, and the other three are all ninth grades.
"Brother Luo, don't worry, as long as there is a slight opportunity, we will never give up." Meng Huai'an said comfortingly.
"Shang Qing, did you say?"
