Chapter 230: The Southern Emperor's Request

Yan Jinlan dragged Shujue's hand and put the bracelet he knitted for her, this bracelet was crooked, and at a glance, it could be seen that the person who knitted it was not very good.

But Yan Jinlan's age is here, and Yinyue said that her soul is incomplete, and she is not as good as ordinary children in some aspects, and it must have taken a lot of thought to be able to make it like this.

Shu Jue's heart warmed, she was obviously just the child's nominal master, and she didn't teach her anything, but she took such a fancy to herself......

"Master looks good on it!" After putting on the bracelet, Yan Jinlan grabbed Shujue's wrist with both hands and shook it, and looked at her with a pair of dark round eyes: "Master, do you like it or not?" ”

"I like it." Shu Jue rubbed her head: "The bracelet woven by Jinlan is beautiful." ”

Yan Jinlan was praised by her like this, and she grinned, her eyes were bent into small crescents, and a pair of small dimples appeared on her face.

Shu Jue couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, the little girl's skin was soft and tender.

It's not annoying to be pinched by her like this, and she smirks at her.

"What's so funny, saying it makes me happy."

As the emperor's voice came, Yan Jinlan's big teeth were put away.

She doesn't dare to laugh in front of her father now, last time because she laughed at her father's stupidity, her father asked her master to assign her a lot of homework at one time, and she wrote it for a long time to finish.

Not only did she not laugh, but her mouth was about to pout, and the concubine couldn't cry or laugh, so she gently pulled her mouth: "Why are you so unhappy to hear your father's voice?" ”

"Father is a bad father!" Yan Jinlan pursed his lips and muttered quietly: "He will ask the master to assign me homework." ”

"I see." The concubine picked her up and kissed her on the little cheek: "Then let's go out to play, don't play with my father." ”

"Uh-huh!" Yan Jinlan nodded vigorously, put her head on her shoulder and looked at Shu Jue: "Master, is you going out with us?" ”

"You play first, and Master will come over in a moment."

"Okay, then Master, you must come!"

The emperor, who had just come in, saw that his most beloved daughter was ignoring him like this, and his heart couldn't help but be sour, and he deliberately coughed twice to try to get her attention, but the little girl ignored him, and went out on her mother's shoulder.

Emperor: "......" So he fell out of favor in his daughter's heart?

"How's it going well?" The Emperor withdrew his gaze and sat down on the side with a sip of tea.

He didn't finish the recital, and when he saw a hurry, he rushed over.

But now he is a little hesitant to talk to Shu Jue.

People have already helped Nanguo so much, isn't it good to trouble them again?

"It's okay, this time is considered to be dangerous." Shu Jue noticed that his expression was entangled, and asked casually, "What is the emperor's trouble?" ”

"Yes." In the end, the emperor nodded, a little helpless: "Just now I saw a recital from an official, saying that there seems to be a demon clan in the Liantang area. ”

"There is a village over there, and several animals have died for several nights in a row, because the village is next to the mountain, and the villagers thought it was a wild beast, but a villager died the day before yesterday."

"I originally thought that everyone had already started cultivating anyway, and it would be okay for them to solve this matter by themselves, but I was afraid that the demon clan was a ruthless character, and it would not be good if there was another city destruction tragedy like Red Eagle when the time came."

Although he was embarrassed to trouble Shu Jue and the others again, his sense of responsibility as the emperor still made him cheeky to say this, "You see, are you free these days, can you help to see what the situation is?" ”

"If it's a demon that they can deal with on their own, then don't worry about them, if they can't deal with it, I have to ask you to help protect them."

"Okay." Shu Jue nodded and responded directly.

Several disciples heard this and wanted to go with her, and finally Shujue asked them to draw lots, and those who drew long lots went and those who drew short lots stayed.

Liantang is an artificial river dug up by the emperor after he ascended the throne, which facilitates the life of many people after its opening, and also makes the cities along the river more prosperous.

And the village where the demons were discovered this time is a village close to the upstream.

When they arrived, it was twilight, and there was a faint smoke coming out of the chimneys of every house.

Because it was Edgeworth, they had just entered the village's field of vision, and some villagers saw them, and when a few people landed, they were surrounded by enthusiastic villagers:

"Immortals? Did the immortals have dinner again? My meal is just ready, do the immortals want to come to my house to rest? ”

"Go, go, go! My family's food is good, my family has meat, and immortals come to my house. ”

"I don't understand what you're fighting for, the immortals have already opened the valley, and they will still want your mouthful of food? The immortals should come to our house, my family got good tea a while ago......"

In the end, it was the village chief who stepped in and rescued them from the crowd.

The village chief was an old man in his fifties and sixties, with dark skin and a very tough body.

Knowing that Shujue was here for the demons, the village chief led them to his house, poured them a glass of water before sitting down and briefly talking about the situation in the village.

There are about 50 families in the village, basically every household has some livestock, the first animal to be bitten to death is Zhou Damiang's family, a sheep in her sheepfold was bitten to death; The second is the watchdog of Aunt Cai's house: the third is a flower pig in Butcher Li's house.

Dead animals are drained of blood and die of excessive blood loss.

The villager who died a few days ago was an older widow in the village, who was kind and had a good relationship with her neighbors.

A few days before she died, she told someone that she didn't know if someone was playing a prank, always knocking down the shelf she had built in the yard, and it was like this for several days, which really made her a little annoyed.

She was a widow, and she didn't go out much on weekdays, and she hadn't offended anyone in the village, so she couldn't figure out who was so mischievous, and she told her neighbors to see who was so bored at night.

But the next day, neighbors found her cold body in her yard.

It was like the North Stone had broken his head, leaving a lot of blood, his eyes were still open, his mouth was open, and his expression looked like anger rather than fear.

"Actually, we don't know if it's a demon, but we're not at ease, so we reported it." Originally, I thought it would be best if someone could come and see it, but if not, forget it.

Who would have thought that the emperor would really know about this, and he also asked these sect disciples to help.

"Did any animals die in your village later?" Shu Jue and the others glanced at each other and asked.

"No, our village seems to be peaceful after she died." The village chief thought about it and answered truthfully.
