Chapter 169: The Bride in Red
Qin Gang responded, "Silver taels, cloth, jewelry, fields, all kinds of things, this case in the palace, you have a lot of credit!" also rescued the princess, and the emperor specially rewarded some more! ”
"By the way, Si Zheng, I don't know when I will be able to see the emperor, the next time you see the emperor, I specially said that the solemnity of Dali Temple has also helped me a lot."
"Okay, I'll say two things!"
"And when will these rewards come down?"
Qin Gang glanced at him, "Is there such a hurry?" These rewards also take time! ”
"It's a bit of a hurry!" Li Huaiyun said, after all, after those rewards arrived, he would be able to face Hongyun, and whoever made her not believe in herself must be slapped in the face.
Qin Gang waved his hand, "You don't need to be in a hurry, just wait patiently!" Since I have informed me of these things, and have made sure of them, there can be no false reward for them. ”
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then clasped his hands into fists, "Then I'm here, thank you first!" ”
He still couldn't help but be curious, "That, Si Zheng, how much is this silver tael?" ”
He had never had such a great reward, and his curiosity at the moment was quite heavy, and he always wanted to convert everything into silver taels, after all, it was more intuitive!
"According to your performance, it's about a thousand taels! No matter how much it is, it shouldn't be much more! ”
Li Huaiyun still showed disappointment with this number, "It's only a thousand taels, so can you discount the others!" ”
"Is a thousand taels a little? You're asking for a lot! ”
"It's not that I'm too little! Si Zheng, just the medicinal materials that my aunt spent on me will cost three or four hundred taels of silver, not to mention others! That's a thousand taels of silver! ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Silver!"
Qin Gang laughed disdainfully, his expression was full of disdain, "When I say a thousand taels, I mean gold!" ”
"Nani!" When Li Huaiyun heard this, his heart jumped violently, and he was so surprised that his eyes widened, as if he felt that he had heard it wrong, "Gold!" A thousand taels of gold? ”
"Of course it's gold, this kind of reward is rare, it can be seen that the emperor's impression of you is still quite good."
Li Huaiyun stood stunned, he had never had so much wealth, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as getting rich overnight.
It seems that when I go back, I will be ruthless to my aunt, this woman still looks down on me, and she will soon be able to make her look the other way.
"That's right!" As if he had thought of something, Qin Gang immediately instructed Li Huaiyun, "If the emperor summons you to the palace, you should be cautious." ”
"Ahh Be cautious? Are you going to make me refuse those rewards? ”
"Of course not, there is a special place among those rewards!"
"A special place?"
"When I discussed it with me before, he was interested in your marriage with Mu Kite!"
"This...!" When Li Huaiyun heard this, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle, not that he felt that the wooden kite was not good, but that his current practice was not suitable for starting a family, and he himself said that he would only consider starting a family after avenging his parents.
"What's the matter with this emperor, why does he suddenly want me to marry a wooden kite?"
"One is that you have worked hard and saved the wooden kite a few times, and the other is that he feels that he owes this daughter for so many years, so he wants to find him a better family."
"But he can't impose his own debt on someone else's head, isn't it difficult for a strong man?"
"You can rest assured, I have already told the current emperor a few points, so that he can temporarily dispel this doubt, after all, the wooden kite has not yet agreed, and he is rashly matched, according to the temper of the wooden kite, it is simply causing trouble."
"Couldn't agree more! When the time comes, the emperor will mention it, and I will strictly refuse. ”
"Just say no! You're just a demon hunter of the Demon Slayer Division, don't think too highly of yourself! This matter can affect the reputation of the princess, so tough, the blessing and the bad are unpredictable. ”
Qin Gang instructed again, "If you talk nonsense at that time, not only will the reward be gone, but you will also be punished for the crime of great disrespect, then everything will be helpless." ”
Li Huaiyun hurriedly said, "Don't worry! Feel relieved! Si Zheng, I am also a person with brains, and I will not do those unbelievable things. ”
"Since this decree will probably come tomorrow! Then I'd better go back and recuperate and wait for this reward to come. ”
"Recuperate? How are you doing now? ”
Li Huaiyun raised his hands and made a gesture to show his biceps, "The recovery is very good, it seems that in this state, any kind of monster can easily be killed to slag." ”
In the past few days that he has been in a coma, his body is like a huge black hole, constantly sucking out all his essence energy.
But Narcissus's sacrifice allowed him to regain Yang Yuan, and this kind of lost and regained, but instead let all the lost essence energy return to his body.
At this time, he also had some ideas to break through the Merge Dao realm.
He had already discovered that his own realm of convergence was different from cultivation in the general sense, and ordinary cultivation no longer had any effect on improvement.
On the contrary, it is to use the internal strength of the theory of empathy and concentrating the soul to achieve better cultivation.
This means that to improve one's own ability, one must also refine this internal strength and mental method, and the Jiaofang Division has become the best place to practice.
He was going to go to Ylan and the Snow Master.
Qin Gang pointed at Li Huaiyun, "Since your body is recovering quickly now, then go to the Iron Painting Pavilion to do a favor,"
Yes! Li Huaiyun frowned, although he was seriously injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire, how could he have that feeling of him to death now, it seemed that he was the only one who killed the demon division.
He had a bad face-to-face refusal, "Huh! Si Zheng, what's going on, what's going on again? ”
Qin Gang said unhurriedly, "That's natural, there is no day to stop, this is not Liu Pingzhong, recently for a case, sleepless all night, but it is always difficult to make progress, you are almost recovered anyway, just go directly to him over there to find him and help him solve the case." ”
"Oh! Another case of monsters? ”
"It should be! However, the people of the Demon Slayer Division have not met with that monster so far! ”
"This...? didn't meet at all, but it was said to be very confusing," Li Huaiyun shook his head helplessly, and he didn't know what he was talking about, "Do you know what kind of monster it is?" ”
"It is said that she is a bride wearing a red phoenix robe and a red hijab!"
"The bride?"
Forehead! I haven't been rewarded for the last case, and now I'm going to look into other cases? I'm still thinking about going to the Workshop Division and looking for the two of them.
However, at this time, the task personally assigned by Qin Gang, as a person who slays the demon division, no matter what, must follow first.
Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted, "Subordinates obey orders!" Now go and investigate the case immediately. He turned and left the house.
Late at night, sub-hour, southern Kyoto.
The streets that are usually crowded with people are already empty at this time, and the breeze blows, bringing up dust, and the whole street looks quite bleak.
On this street, many houses hang lanterns made of bamboo and paper in front of their doors, and candles are lit inside, and the light of the fire illuminates several places in the street.
The traces of vegetable leaves, strings, and muddy footprints on the ground all illustrate the hustle and bustle of this street during the day.
Walking on this deserted street, the watchman knocked the gong in his hand from time to time, pulling his throat, telling the merchants living on the street what time of the day was and reminding them to prevent fire and theft.
He looked nervous, looked around, his whole body was a little cold, and before that, there had been many things on this road, especially the people who passed by, as far as he knew, there were several people.
The boss said it was an accident, but he knew, and it was definitely not an accident, because someone survived and warned them loudly to be careful of the bride with the red hijab! Don't talk to him, she's not human!
After that, the watchman was taken away and guarded by special people.
This incident left a deep imprint on his heart, so that every night he was in charge of it would be extra vigilant.
The streets were extraordinarily quiet, like a cemetery in the dark night, and the watchmen walked on the empty streets, hearing only the sound of their own footsteps and heartbeats.
He took a deep breath, and it always felt as if someone was nearby, watching him, which made people shudder.
The gong was beaten by the watchman as he walked, and then shouted loudly to remind people of fire prevention and theft.
Rough voices break the silence of the streets.
At this time, the watchman had already reached the center of the street, and when he passed through a dark alley, a vague figure suddenly flashed in the afterglow.
He immediately held his breath and, with his shaking arms, banged on the gong, and shouted loudly.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked forward, tilting his head a little, and looked out into the dark alley.
When the watchman looked over, but he didn't see anything, it made his scalp tingle.
Because of the previous incident of beating people, and in addition to many things on this street, there are some strange things at this moment, which makes him even more afraid.
He muttered in his heart, he saw the figure just now, could it really be a bride wearing a red wedding dress and a hijab, wandering around the alley?
At this time, his heart was beating violently, and he remembered what the man had said, and he must not speak to the bride, because there was not a human face under the hijab.
Could it be that this thing was really touched by him, and the forehead of the watchman at the moment was sweating the size of a bean, and his back was cold.
He struck harder, quickened his pace, and his shouting became rhythmless! When he passed through an alley again, he saw another figure standing at the mouth of the alley!
The watchman took a second look, and felt that it was the same as before, maybe he was too careful, but what frightened him was that the alley was a real figure, and under the illumination of the lantern, the red hijab looked even more blood-red.
Ignoring it, he quickened his pace and ran forward.
It's true! That guy didn't lie, there was a bride in red!
The fear in the hearts of the people who beat the guard became more and more fearful, and they looked straight ahead, but they didn't dare to look to the side at all.
He could only move forward numbly, keep walking, and walk out of this terrifying street,
But the street seems to have become very long, so long that there is no end, and even if the feet are paralyzed, it cannot go to the end, and it seems that it is still in place.
The surrounding scenes don't seem to be repeated, but only at the entrance of the alley on one side, there will be a red figure! The bright red red phoenix robe and hijab like blood.
The watchman was almost about to cry, and when he was tired and panting, he stopped directly at the entrance of the alley.
He gritted his teeth and looked to the side, and found that there was nothing in the dark alley.
He breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his eyes, it seemed that he had not rested enough and was too tired, so he hallucinated.
"Official!"
