Chapter 33: The Nine Sons Compete for the Throne (8)
At the gate of the Ao family, Ao Lengshuang looked at Changping, Changle, and the two princesses of the demon clan with a smile on his face, and the four of them were full of big bags and small bags in their hands, and they didn't go far, and when they saw that the Ao family didn't come out, the four of them were relieved, and they looked at the various jewels they were holding in their hands, and their faces suddenly bloomed.
"Changping, it's really yours, if you hadn't reminded us in advance, we wouldn't have such a big harvest this time" Changle had a happy face, and couldn't stop praising Changping, Yan Meng'er and Dui Xue on the side also lowered their heads and snickered.
It turned out that as early as two days ago, Changping told them that a few Ao family might want to attack them, once they were forced by the situation and fell into the hands of the Ao family, they must adapt to the situation, don't go against the meaning of Ao Lengshuang, and show as much greed as possible, but I didn't expect them to be so 'greedy'.
So this time the three of them were 'invited', in fact, they were taken by the two guards to the Ao family, and the three of them couldn't stop praising the beauty of the demon queen and talking about jewelry with her, but I didn't expect to get so many gifts from her hands, which can be described as an unexpected gain.
"Is this okay?What is the demon queen going to do, I saw that she talked to you for a long time, and the expression on her face was even more cloudy, did she want to get some news from your mouth?" Yan Meng'er has always been careful, did she observe the face of this demon queen, so she also guessed that the demon queen was using the three of them to threaten Changping, and she was going to get something from Changping's mouth.
Changping looked at Yan Meng'er, "It's okay, she just wants to probe my tone, and the real show is still to come, you just need to behave the same as before, but you must discuss anything with me, and everything must be listened to me." Looking at Changping's serious face, the three of them suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter in their hearts, and they all nodded in agreement.
Changping didn't reveal more about the content of this conversation with the demon queen, first, he was afraid that the three of them would be worried, if they knew about the conflict of interests between the five major families and the demon king, I was afraid that they would be unreasonably worried and afraid; more importantly, Changping didn't want to involve them in this matter, he knew in his heart that when this matter was over, I was afraid that these three people would no longer regard him as a savior hero in their hearts. At this moment, he only hopes that when this is over, when they know the truth of the matter, they will not hate and fear him.
Just when the four of them walked towards the Demon King Palace, a fire letter bird flying quickly in the sky let out a heart-rending wail, and flew straight towards the Demon King Palace, almost all the demon people noticed this wailing fire letter bird, listening to this wail, everyone's hearts suddenly became uneasy.
The fire letter bird is a kind of giant flying bird specially trained by the demon clan, an adult fire letter bird is about the same size as a human adult, they are stubborn by nature, once they accept the order will be carried out to the letter, until death, usually mainly used for mutual communication between the demon clan, after the domesticated fire letter bird and the demon people have the same mind, once the matter is urgent, they can desperately report the news, even if they die, they will reach the destination.
At this time, this fire letter bird obviously received some important information, flew all the way, did not stop, it is estimated that it is almost exhausted, with a wail that pierced the sky, it fell headlong towards the Demon King Palace.
The demon people who saw this scene were all frightened, and everyone was talking about what was going on......
"Let's go, it should be the news of the crusading army, depending on the situation, the matter is very serious" Yan Meng'er reacted first, and the four of them hurriedly ran towards the Demon King Palace, but at this moment, Changping's face was cloudy.
And behind them, in the Ao family's mansion, Ao Lengshuang was also staring at the fire letter bird falling from the sky, unlike the others, a cold smile appeared on her face at this moment, "Lord Demon Queen, everything is going well, this fire letter bird must have brought the news of the crusading army, the time we are waiting for has finally arrived" A deep voice came out in the shadows behind the demon queen, and a person slowly walked out of the black shadow, it was the demon clan elder black ape. The demon queen put away the smile on her face and did not look back, but continued to stare at the sky in the distance.
"It's finally here, Demon King, don't blame me" Ao Lengshuang said secretly in his heart,
"Demon queen, without further ado, isn't it time to prepare" The black ape looked at the demon queen, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Get ready, I'll go to the Demon King Palace tonight, you let Aotian and them act according to the plan, everything has to wait for my news, and you must not act without permission. The demon queen turned to look at the crow, but her face was murderous.
The black ape nodded, and disappeared into the shadows.
But Ao Lengshuang couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "What should come will come after all, everything is left to fate!"
On the other hand, Changping and Yan Meng'er first rushed to the door of the Demon King Palace, where the fire letter bird fell, a group of people were surrounding the perimeter, only to see the fire letter bird falling from a high altitude was already dying, blood kept coming out of the mouth, it seems that this heavy fall has shattered its internal organs, a pair of wings were broken alive, the broken bones pierced the flesh, exposed outside, the fire letter bird kept whispering, the scene was miserable.
Yan Meng'er and Changping finally squeezed through the crowd, but when Yan Meng'er saw the Huoxin Bird lying on the ground covered in blood, she was stunned, and then she felt the sour water in her stomach come up, and she vomited it out at once, and Changping hurriedly blocked in front of her.
The two demon soldiers pushed the crowd away, they didn't pay attention to the life of the fire letter bird at all, one took the letter bucket tied to the bird's leg, turned around and handed it to the guard behind him, the guard hurriedly ran into the demon king hall with the letter, while the other soldier raised the long sword in his hand and cut it down towards the fire letter bird's head.
Suddenly, Yan Meng'er, who had just vomited, pushed away Changping in front of her, rushed to the front of the soldier with an arrow, and slapped the soldier in the chest without saying a word, only to hear the demon soldier scream, and the whole person immediately flew backwards and fell into the crowd, and the crowd suddenly let out an exclamation, and everyone hurriedly scattered and fled.
Changping was also taken aback, he didn't expect Yan Meng'er, who had always been calm, to make a sudden move, and Yan Meng'er didn't pay attention to the demon soldiers who were beaten by herself, but hurriedly checked the injuries of the fire letter bird, the demon soldiers stood up groggily, staggered behind Yan Meng'er, and angrily raised the long sword to stab Yan Meng'er, but was dragged by another demon soldier behind him: "You fainted, and you didn't look at who it was, so you dared to raise your sword." As he spoke, he snatched the sword from the soldier's hand, and only at this time did the groggy demon soldier see clearly that it was the demon princess in front of him, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "The princess spares her life, her subordinates are dazzled for a while, and please spare the princess." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and carry the fire letter bird to the veterinarian hall for me" Yan Meng'er said fiercely, and the two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the fire letter bird on the ground.
"Give me a tap, a tap" Yan Meng'er kept urging the two of them, and in her eyes it seemed that this dying fire letter bird was more important than anything else.
"The fire letter bird of our demon clan is basically trained by my sister, and this fire letter bird was also brought up by my sister, this time it was given to Brother Qinglong, I didn't expect it to ......" Twilight, who arrived later, explained to Changping, in her opinion, her sister has always regarded these birds as her own children, how can she not be in a hurry if her child is injured.
Changping and Changle listened to Twilight's words, and their hearts were also deeply moved, they didn't expect Yan Meng'er to take the bird's life so seriously. Changle and Twilight followed Yan Meng'er to take care of the injured Fire Letterbird, while Changping walked briskly towards the Demon King Hall with a deep face.
The guard took the scroll brought back by the fire letter bird, and ran all the way into the demon king's hall, but it was not directly handed over to the demon king, but handed over to the hands of the great elder flying fox, the flying fox looked at the mark on the scroll, the expression on his face suddenly became nervous, he ordered the guard to call the other two elders over, while he opened the scroll himself, when the scroll unfolded, his face was immediately frightened, and at this time the leopard king and the black demon also happened to rush over, they heard the wail of the fire letter bird, guessed that something important must have happened, did not wait for the guard to report, and hurried over, when they pushed open the door of the flying fox, but saw the flying fox's face full of panic and panic......
