Chapter 46 - Plan before you act
"Yes, I'm that Cen Qing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The thick loquat trees in the courtyard obscured the daylight, sprinkling a rare coolness in the courtyard, and Cen Qing smiled a little embarrassedly in the face of the Yang couple's scrutinizing eyes.
He originally just wanted to hand over the invitation to Yang Jizhou, but unexpectedly, after the other party saw him, he hurriedly sent someone to pick up Mrs. Yang and Zhang Yu from his wayward residence.
It turned out that the other party had been looking for him, and he just said goodbye.
"I heard Yu'er talk about you, Yu'er jumped out at a young age, thanks to your escort all the way to arrive safely, and I never had time to thank you in person. Mrs. Yang looks like she is in her thirties, and she has a graceful and luxurious temperament in her speech and demeanor, even when she talks about Cen Qing's identity, it doesn't seem abrupt, "I heard Yu'er say that the young girl was an outlier, and I was a little worried at first, but now it seems that the young girl is free and easy, and her temperament is straightforward. ”
As she spoke, she slowly got up from the stone bench, folded her hands in front of her chest, bowed her knees slightly, and bowed to Cen Qing.
Cen Qing didn't know how to return the salute, but when he saw the other party's attitude, he had to get up and make a move.
Yang Jizhou smiled on the side, but Mrs. Yang returned to her seat, straightened the corners of her clothes, and asked again, "Why does the young girl want to do a man's courtesy?"
Cen Qing transformed in the black prison this time, regained his previous appearance, and returned to the world, but he didn't think about continuing to dress as a man for a while, probably influenced by Fahai's sentence "I look at the donor, not the skin", he felt that his previous self might have been a little overkill.
However, he didn't feel that he was a woman, or a snake demon or anything like that, and when he heard Mrs. Yang's question at this moment, he just smiled: "Born in the mountains, I haven't learned formal etiquette." ”
"Etiquette is just entertainment. This time, it was Yang Jizhou who accosted him, raised his hand to stop Mrs. Yang's cross-examination, faced Cen Qing, and asked, "Before, the young girl said that she had something important to tell her, I don't know what it was?"
"The two of you should have heard Zhang Yu say that I intercepted and killed a tiger demon on the way to Pingjing Pass, and this invitation was searched from the tiger demon. Cen Qing took out the invitation from his arms and pushed it in front of Yang Jizhou.
Probably because the content inside was too absurd and amazing, Yang Jizhou groaned for a long time after reading it, but the two thick eyebrows wrinkled in the middle, and for a while, there was a bit of murderous aura on his rich face.
Cen Qing looked at his expression and smiled: "I think ordinary people probably don't believe in these things, I just hope that General Yang can find a way to publish the news in the letter to the public, at least let those people in the rivers and lakes be more vigilant." ”
"Because Madame was born in the family of the Heavenly Master, I am not very unfamiliar with the matter of demons, but I didn't expect them to have plans to gather people...... Yang Jizhou frowned and said, "The people of the military are also mortals, and Zhaojiabao is in the Golden Realm, but the Yiyang Army is not able to contribute to this matter." ”
Mrs. Yang took the invitation from her husband's hand, only looked at it, and the expression on her face was a little disapproving: "It seems appalling, but it is actually unbearable." According to legend, demons are the most selfish creatures, and whenever two demons meet, they always fight with each other, or devour or enslave, and they can't get along with each other like humans, not to mention that hundreds of demons will gather together because of an invitation, do you think this is a hero post on the rivers and lakes?"
Her tone suddenly became very contemptuous, so contemptuous that Cen Qing couldn't help but glance at her - this is a woman who is about to pass away, it is most difficult to forget the elegance of her youth, she was born in a famous family, and she was surrounded by extremely outstanding teenagers, but after a few years, those teenagers dispersed, and there was only one she could hold - That's why she shows her abilities all the time and everywhere, expecting the eyes of others to continue to look at her, even if the only man she has has has turned from a high-spirited enemy to a mediocre and vulgar rich man.
"Liling is dizzy. ”
Cen Qing replied.
He had seen demons, and understood that their thirst for blood food was like a human seeing a treasure, especially since there were so many flesh and blood in the same place, enough for the demons to put aside the fight for a while, just to satisfy their appetites.
Cen Qing still remembers the scene where Xiaoshan Jun devoured his heart and liver.
"Zhaojiabao ......" Yang Jizhou gently buckled on the stone table with his index finger, but mentioned another thing, "Zhao Song, the owner of the fort, once claimed to be the Zhengsu of the Taizu lineage, when Jianyan crossed to the south, he stayed in Runan and called the king, after the Jin people set up a pseudo-Qi in the north, they initially regarded him as a scabies, and only sent a small group of Jin soldiers to attack a few times, but his Wu Fort was deep and high, and the Jin soldiers could not attack it for a while. Later, Yue Shaobao Northern Expedition, the Jin people had no time to take care of him, Zhao Song got a chance to breathe, these decades he shrunk in the fort and lived in a shallow way, neither anti-Jin, nor anti-Song, everyone almost forgot him. Some people say that he recruited a group of monks in the castle to practice alchemy every day, and others only took it as a joke, until a few years ago, he suddenly accepted the canonization of the Jin State, which caused some people in the rivers and lakes to be angry, and invited the innate master to assassinate him several times, but then there was no follow-up, and it was a bit evil at the moment...... Please post what is being said, or if it is true. ”
Mrs. Yang glared at her husband fiercely.
However, Yang Jizhou didn't seem to see it, and continued: "Caizhou is adjacent to Runan, and the two may be related. After the news of the demon came out, Yiyang did send scouts to go, and the situation there was indeed a little ...... Singularity. ”
He used a word that he didn't seem to use very often, so he paused for a moment, thought about it and said worriedly: "According to the scout's report, the weather there is gloomy and sunless all day long, the trees are withered and no grass grows, and even more so there is not even a single mouse or ant in a radius of tens of miles, it is a completely barren and dead land, and the scout died of festering all over his body within three days after his return, with white hair on his body and long and sharp nails, so as not to frighten the soldiers, I sent someone to quietly burn his body overnight." I was born in the military, and I was not afraid of gods and demons, but it seems that this kind of monster that causes changes in the sky at every turn can only be eradicated by the power of the monks. ”
Cen Qing frowned again and again when he heard this.
"So even if I help you get the word out about it, the effect is minimal. Yang Jizhou smiled bitterly, "Or those people in the rivers and lakes who are obsessed with money will retreat when they see that they can't do anything, or they will go to death one after another like moths to a fire, if even the legendary thousand-year-old zombies can't scare them, what do you think is the use of just demons?"
His analysis was reasonable, and it made Cen Qing's impression of him renew.
But if Caizhou has really become a dead land, will the result of his own going go is death, or is it an opportunity?
"Although the young girl is a demon, she also has the compassion to save the world and help the people, which I actually admire very much, but things always have to be seen first, and then they can make up their minds...... Yang Jizhou's face suddenly relaxed, and the words turned around, "This matter is temporarily stopped, the young girl escorts Yu'er's righteousness, the Yang family empathizes, if there are other needs, I will do my best." ”
"In that case......
Cen Qing nodded, after all, the information the other party got was more thorough, and it seemed that his previous plan would have to be reformulated, just as Yang Jizhou said before making a decision.
"The reward I agreed with Zhang Shan before was just a piece of cold jade, so I can't ask for any more. He smiled and said, "I once got a good gun on the road, but unfortunately I don't know marksmanship, I heard that the Yang family's marksmanship is unique in the world, if I can teach it, I am willing to pay enough price." ”
