Hearing his tone, he didn't intend to hide it, Yan Shuling had a few doubts in his heart: Could it be that he really didn't know about that matter? At that time, Zhao Teng was still in the palace, if it was possible to say that those bandits made their own decisions and used this matter to ask for credit without his consent.

Based on Yan Shuling's observation of him, he didn't think he was a conspiratorial person. It's not a bad thing to be ambitious, and if you want to achieve great things, you always have to have some ambition, as long as you do it properly and above board.

So Yan Shuling said again: "I work for my son, and I hope that my son will not hide that I am when he encounters trouble." ”

"That's nature!"

Zhao Teng replied without thinking, and then seemed to think of something again, so he said: "However, these recent unsolved cases in the capital, I don't think they are like cases that ordinary people can commit. The Taoist Commander also said that the dim Emperor Star will attract evil spirits, and there must be evil spirits!"

Yan Shuling couldn't help frowning slightly.

Her original words meant: The emperor star is the king's life, and if the purple star is dim, the country's fortune is not good, and there will be evil chaos. The emperor's long-term illness will inevitably lead to instability in the hearts of the court, and after a long time, it will change, but that doesn't mean that it will make trouble!

However, Yan Shuling didn't bother to discuss the issue of overly professional with a layman: Anyway, you are the father of the gold owner, whatever you think, you can be happy.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Teng continued with great interest: "So I recruited exorcists along the way to Beijing, and promised to come to the capital to subdue demons with a lot of money. Of course, most of them are charlatans, and their level is uneven, and they can't compare with your decent self! ”

Yan Shuling was speechless: Demon subjugation is not a war, what is the use of more people? A group of waste people go to subdue demons, what is the difference between this and takeaway food delivery? Do you think that if you can't fight to death, you can also support the monster to death?

"Thank you for your kindness, but Poor Dao has always been a loner and doesn't need a helper. ”

Yan Shuling felt the need to make a request to him: "Since I have agreed to go out of the mountain to help, I will do what I need to do my best, no need to say more." We monks have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, so let's avoid showing up. Please also ask Childe not to mention my identity to others, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Her voice was still gentle and modest, but her attitude was resolute.

"The Taoist is high and bright, and we laymen can't reach it. Zhao Teng flattered and nodded in agreement.

As soon as the two talked for a while, Zhao Teng had already seen that there was an extra fox at her feet: white and snow-white, squatting honestly on the side, but the nine tails behind her were very eye-catching.

Zhao Teng finally couldn't help but ask, "Dao Chief, may I ask if this is the legendary nine-tailed spirit fox?"

Obviously, Zhao Teng had already treated the fox as a group with her. Yan Shuling was helpless, so she had to nod and say:

"Exactly. ”

"Sure enough, it lives up to its name. ”

Zhao Teng probably saw the nine-tailed fox for the first time, just as a magical spirit beast, and couldn't help but praise: "My blessing to the Taoist today can be regarded as an eye-opener, this is really a rare beast!"

Hearing the compliment, Fox Qi shook his tail proudly and raised his little head proudly.

The ancient kingdom of Qingqiu has been in decline for a long time, and the nine-tailed fox clan is rare in the world, and it is indeed very rare.

Zhao Teng was full of envy, and said: "Since I was a child, I have heard that the nine-tailed spirit fox is the most affectionate, with clear grievances, smart and dexterous and naturally beautiful, when it appears in human form, all of them are stunning beauties!"

There are many legends about the beautiful fox demon in the world, so many that people will immediately think of it when they hear the word "nine-tailed fox".

Just when Zhao Teng couldn't help but bend down and wanted to touch it, Hu Qi quickly dodged it, jumped onto Yan Shuling's lap, and glanced at him unceremoniously:

"Don't suffer Lao Tzu!"

Zhao Teng was stunned for a moment: Can you speak? !

Yan Shuling explained expressionlessly: "He is a demon, not a pet." ”

Zhao Teng retracted his hand slightly embarrassed.

"If there are really monsters in Beijing, it is my business, so naturally I will not sit idly by. ”

"That's very good. ”

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and after a while, I saw a few prayer posts served by Younei, which were very gorgeously bound, and were respectfully presented to Zhao Teng with both hands. Not long after Zhao Teng first arrived in the capital, whether it was recruiting warlocks or contacting people, in short, all kinds of entertainment were indispensable.

Seeing this, Yan Shuling said: "Gongzi has something to do, so I won't bother you much, I just want to advise: You are going to become the person of the Ninety-Five in the future, don't fall into the handle of making the world laugh because of some trivial things, lose your noble character, it's not worth it." ”

Zhao Teng looked a little confused, and he didn't know what she was referring to, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the Taoist." ”

Zhao Teng was just in his early twenties, although he had some city government but not much experience, Yan Shuling saw his reaction, most of them didn't know about the interception and killing of Zhao Su this afternoon, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and said with a slightly gentle expression:

"Poor Dao has been walking in the world for many years, and I have seen a lot of changes in dynasties. These words, I only hope that I have instructed you in vain that you have done well, and good causes will bring good results, and it is not in vain that I have gone out of the mountain to help once, and I have fulfilled the fate of the monarchs and ministers of this world. ”

When Zhao Teng heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to her: "The words of the Taoist chief from the bottom of his heart, Teng must keep it in mind. ”

Yan Shuling got up and bowed back, and after the salute, he didn't say much, calmly turned around and went downstairs, and went straight to the backyard room.

The noise of Juxian Building is getting farther and farther away, a bright moon is in the sky, and only grass insects are heard in the quiet courtyard. Fox Qi followed a few steps closely, raised his face and asked:

"Do you really believe what Zhao Teng said?"

"Believe. ”

"But I think those bandits were obviously sent by him to assassinate Zhao Su. ”

"The matter was not done, but the people sent were all dead - there is no way to verify who is the mastermind, so I choose to believe Zhao Teng. ”

Yan Shuling's footsteps gradually slowed down, and the Buddha dust in his hand waved slightly, looking at the little fox behind him.

Hu Qibian flattened his mouth, shook his head, and said: "There are not too many stories of fratricidal struggle for the throne! Not to mention that they are not brothers! Politics, who in Vanity Fair has not done a few ugly things that are not visible? I just can't understand it, this is clearly a pond of muddy waters, how can a person who understands so well and is so noble want to get involved?"

"You're right. ”

Yan Shuling nodded and said, "Human nature always has a greedy and selfish side. Even if he is good at this time, no one can guarantee that he will always be a good person in this life. I'm not for fame and fortune, I just want to push him and let him try his best to be a good emperor, which can be regarded as benefiting the common people - is there a problem?"

"Anyway, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, so naturally everything is right!" Hu Qi smiled: "It's just, you are so sure, he will definitely be able to become the emperor?"

Yan Shuling smiled: "If you only ask me to divinate the future, I can only say that he has a better chance of becoming the emperor, but if I enter this game, then he will definitely become the winner." ”

Hu Qi sighed in his heart: Her statement is quite similar to Fourteen. Two women who are so determined in their fate are betting on different people - if this happens in the future, there will definitely be a good show.

With such a resounding name as 'Wuling Divine Monarch' reported, where is there still suspense about the outcome of the victory? Who of the immortals and monsters in the world and the Three Realms would dare to oppose him? There is almost no suspense, right?

Thinking of this, Hu Qi couldn't help but mutter: "How much money did Zhao Teng pay?

Yan Shuling lightly spit out a few words: "Not much, ten thousand taels of gold." ”

"Scared!So rich?!"

Fox Qi glared: "He has a mine at home, bragging, right? Don't be deceived by him!"

"The gold has already been sent to Wulingguan! And this is only half of it, and after the deed is completed, there will be another half. Yan Shuling smiled.

Fox Seven is completely sour!

He jumped up and hugged her legs, and the nine little tails wagged desperately: "Sister fairy, take me in quickly! Let me get rich with you! It's okay to be a pet!"

Yan Shuling couldn't help laughing and said, "You money-hungry fox demon, can you even sell yourself for money?"

"If you buy it, I'll definitely sell it!"

"Hey!"

Yan Shuling straightened his face and shook his legs, but found that his four paws were firmly holding and refusing to let go: "Are you a dog?

"Wang. ”

Yan Shu's aura knotted: "The legendary noble and cold nine-tailed fox clan, the face of the whole clan has really been lost by you!"

Hu Qi shook his head and corrected: "No, there is no such thing as noble and cold. ”

"Isn't that the point?" Yan Shuling only felt angry and funny: "You can't be a spy sent by Zhao Su, right?"

Hu Qi glanced at her: "He only gave five hundred taels of silver! ”

"So the point is the money?"

Hu Qi nodded vigorously: "Yes, wow, so as soon as I saw the list of demon hunters posted by Zhao Teng, I immediately found it here! A reward of 1,000 taels of gold! It's just that I didn't expect to meet you again, it's really fate......

She sighed and said, "Okay, then you can catch demons, I won't stop you from getting rich." ”

"The demon is naturally to be caught!" Hu Qi flattered: "Everyone will get rich together!

Yan Shuling looked at him coldly—is this necessary?

Well, judging from the identity of the first disciple of Wuling Shenjun, it seems that there is really no need for helpers in the matter of catching demons.

Hu Qi felt that it was very necessary to reflect his own value at this time, so he said with a serious face: "There are really demons! I just sat downstairs for a long time, listening to those demon hunters all discussing this matter!

Yan Shuling raised her eyebrows: "Let's hear it." ”

Yan Shuling can see this little fox's ability to gossip with others. As far as he heard about the time he sat in the crowd drinking tea and eating melon seeds, it was estimated that it was more abundant and comprehensive than the news she got from going to Shuntian Mansion to check the files.

"This is really not a rumor from outside. ”

Seeing that she was interested, Hu Qi said proudly: "At present, there are a total of twelve people who have disappeared in Shuntian Mansion in the capital, including men and women, ranging in age from fourteen to twenty years old, all of whom are young masters and young ladies from famous families. One of them was still a son of an important minister of the imperial court, so he alarmed Jinyiwei and Dali Temple to cooperate in the investigation of the case and solve the case within a time limit - as a result, the officials who handled the case changed several times, but there was still no progress in the case. ”

"What's wrong with this?"

Yan Shuling looked dazed.

Seeing that she knew almost nothing about the imperial court and the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Hu Qi explained: "It's not strange that any of these three yamen will have cases that can't be solved, but it's very strange that the three yamen can't solve cases together." ”

Yan Shuling nodded as if he didn't understand.

"You think, a group of young noble children, needless to say the young ladies of big families, everyone almost doesn't go out except for burning incense and worshipping their ancestors......;

Yan Shuling interjected lukewarmly: "You are quite familiar with this routine." ”

Hu Qi was stunned for a moment, and shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, I also heard what others said!

A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence.

Hu Qi looked aggrieved: "I'm a serious fox demon who behaves and does things seriously, and never messes with flowers!"
