Four.

A tingling pain in my feet and legs brought me back to consciousness, and I tried to get up, but before I could act, I was hurt by the scar on my elbow and "hissed" and lay back in place. Lying on the bed, I looked the room up and down, and when I was sure it was my wing, I breathed a long sigh of relief as if I had survived a great calamity.

The door creaked open, and Ming Shique walked in with a pot of water, and when he saw that I was awake, he put the kettle on the wooden table and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Awake?" Ming Shique's gaze showed a rare warmth.

"I can talk, do you think I'm awake?"

Seeing that I would talk back, Ming Shique smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to brush away the messy hair around my ears, and his eyes became fierce again: "Don't be so reckless in the future, if you find some situations, you should come to me first, and it is not good for you and me to follow others without permission." ”

I thought back to the time since I came to this world, when it wasn't because of the strength of the moment, I fell into an embarrassing situation, and finally was rescued by Ming Shique, and felt that his words were also reasonable, so I silently waited for his next reproach. I looked up at him in amazement, and it happened that he was also staring at me, and the deep gaze made me reluctant to look away.

Ming Shique was a little uncomfortable by me, hurriedly fled from his sight, and continued: "This time, I sensed that the chain Dan was moving to the suburbs, so I thought that you must have encountered some trouble, and you will not be so lucky next time." ”

Hearing this, I suddenly felt that this stinky Taoist priest was not as annoying as I imagined, sensing that Chain Dan was running to the suburbs, and the first reaction was not that I ran away but that I was in danger, I smiled happily and said to Ming Shique: "Okay, I will pay attention in the future, oh yes, those two people in the woods-"

"They are demons, to be precise, they should be humanized demons, and I have dealt with them. Speaking of the topic, Ming Shique frowned again and became serious, "They are only responsible for carrying the corpses, and they don't know anything else, only that every time late at night, they will be called to throw the corpses into the suburbs far from the town." ”

"Eh, so where did you ask them where they moved the bodies?"

Ming Shique shook his head: "The location they agreed on is different every time, no one knows where the corpses came from, but one of them said that he heard that these corpses are all from the same place"

"Where?"

"Bohou Mansion. ”

......

"Bohou Mansion?!!" I slapped the bed in surprise, but then I was dragged back by the pain, so I had to grit my teeth and ask: "But the people say that Zhang Bohou is a good person when he governs properly......"

"Indeed, three years ago, Zhang Bohou was indeed a good ruler and made the Jianghuai area prosperous, but after that, he no longer showed up, and all affairs were handed over to his son, which I think is very suspicious. ”

"You mean—Zhang Bohou is a demon?"

Ming Shique shook his head lightly: "It seems that there are still too many things I don't know now, and I can't be sure yet, so I want to sneak in there as soon as possible to see if Zhang Bohou is dead or alive now, but this Bohou Mansion is heavily guarded, and if you want to get close to there, you can only think about it in the long run......"

I went through what Ming Shique said in my head, searching for the information I knew, trying to find a breakthrough to be able to explore the internal situation of the Bohou Mansion, and suddenly I remembered that I heard the woman who greeted the guests in front of the Flower Pavilion before, and said, "Oh, isn't this our Zhang Shizi, who came to find our Jade Girl again today?", since it is called "Shizi" , that must be the son of the princes, and the princes surnamed Zhang in this town are only Zhang Bohou, so the Zhang Shizi in the mouth of this Qinglou woman should be the eldest young master of the Bohou Mansion who is handling affairs on behalf of his father.

I told Ming Shique my thoughts, he nodded in agreement with my speculation, and felt that he could start with this Zhang Shizi, but there has been a sentence in the market - if you want to see the world, you must go to Yinghua, which means that this Zhang Shizi usually does not show up, and ordinary people can only find him in the Qinglou, so it can be seen that this person must be a womanizer, and it is not difficult to imagine how Jianghuai Town was ruined by him a little bit.

Thinking of this, the two of us felt that the clues that were rare to touch were broken again, Ming Shique was omnipotent in my eyes, but there was no way to take this flower pavilion, let alone go in, and the soliciting woman was embarrassed to blush, and the person was handsome, and he was still an abstinence, presumably he went to find Zhang Shizi, and before he saw the figure of the family, he was surrounded by the women inside and was at a loss. As for me, I'm a woman, can I disguise myself as a woman? It's impossible to think about it, unless—

"Eh?!" I suddenly had a bold idea, grabbed Ming Shique and said excitedly, "Stinky Daoist!

"Tell me about it?"

"I! I'm going to apply for a job as a Qinglou woman! Look—" Before I could finish speaking, I ate a chestnut that was missing from the Ming world.

"Little demon, what are you thinking stupidly. I looked up and saw Ming Shique pursing his lips helplessly, with a look of caring for mentally handicapped children...... Although I was a little annoyed when I saw this underwhelming expression, I still calmed down and reasoned with him: "You listen to me!"

“......”

"You see, now if you want to get close to Zhang Shizi, you must go to the Flower Pavilion, and you claim to be not close to women, and you sneer at this kind of place, so you can only pin all your hopes on me, thinking about it, it is best for me to approach Zhang Shizi as a woman in the Qinglou, maybe you can say something. I held my cheeks and confidently told Ming Shique my little abacus, but Ming Shique still didn't agree with my thoughts: "Little demon, Qinglou...... It's not as simple as you think, and sometimes you're forced to do something you don't want to do......"

"I know, don't look down on me."

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do," I interrupted him with a wave of my hand, "I'm also a good girl, I also have a lot of skills, don't worry about things that shouldn't be worried, don't worry about knowing no!" After saying this, I feel that I am simply handsome! It feels so cool to be cool in front of a handsome guy!

Ming Shique saw that I had no intention of retreating, so I had to sigh lightly and approve of my plan, and told me to be careful there, I nodded my head, thinking that you, a stinky Taoist priest, don't have to rely on me at the most critical time, so I was ready to drive away Ming Shique to sleep by himself, Ming Shique was helpless, so he had to get up and prepare to go back to his room, and when he walked to the door, he stopped, turned around and asked me:

"Little demon, this is a matter of pulling out a knife to help me when I see injustice, you don't need to help me at all, why do you have to take such a risk?"

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, is this guy thanking me? It was really the sun coming out of the west, so I waved my hand righteously: "You think too much, first, this girl also wants to help this place, and secondly, if this matter is solved perfectly, will I be able to go home in vain?"

Ming Shique was silent for a while, looked at me and said, "If you and I can solve this matter and get out of the way, I will let you go." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" I didn't expect Ming Shique to really fall into my wishful thinking, so I agreed to this matter, I gave him a sweet smile and fell asleep.

Five.

It was late at night, and the shouting of the people who were beating the guard outside added a bit of desolation to the night.

Ming Shique had been standing outside Bai Xia Ying's wing room for a long time, thinking about something.

About Jianghuai Town

About corpses littering the suburbs

About Zhang Bohou and Zhang Shizi

Also, about her......

I don't know when it started.,I'm getting used to the existence of the little demon who is always around and noisy.,It's just a woman with a demonic aura.,But why-

Knowing that she decided to enter the Flower Pavilion to get close to Zhang Shizi, Ming Shique's heart still couldn't suppress her worry.

"Bai Xia Ying, you are such a strange woman. The man at the door smiled softly and went back to his room.

Six.

"Hmm-" The bustard in front of me had been squinting at me for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking about me, but I didn't feel comfortable right now.

This woman, known as "Jianghuai Liu's mother", pinched my waist for a while, patted me on the shoulder for a while, and finally spoke after tossing and turning:

"She looks pretty and has a good figure, but she lacks the charm that a woman should have. ”

Sister Liu, do you want to decide quickly, where did I come from a good woman's coquettish state......

"Yes. Mother Liu patted my ass with a fan, turned around and said a few words to the other girls on the side, and then turned to me and said, "Qingqi or Hongqi, which one do you want to do?"

Before I came, I did my homework, and I also heard that Zhang Shizi would definitely find a Qingqi named "Xiaoyu" when he came here, and spend a good night with her, in order to fight for something in common, I decided to be Qingqi, but problems also followed- I don't know how to play an ancient instrument, and I can even say that I am a music idiot, but fortunately, Liu's mother's concept is that you are good-looking is king, and you can learn what you play the piano and dance the day after tomorrow, so I was taken by Liu's mother to a screen, and she told me that the person inside would be responsible for teaching me the piano and dance later, and then she went out to pick up customers.

I gently probed behind the screen, heard someone inside call me, and then cautiously walked in.

In the room sat a long-haired woman, dressed in a gilded gauze skirt, wearing delicate and noble jewelry, a beautiful nose, delicate lips, a slight redness of jade cheeks, a pair of eyes looking forward to charming, and focusing on the strings in her hands. This is a Qinglou woman, I have to say that she is also a clear woman who comes out of the mud and is not stained.

When the woman saw that I had come in, she stopped plucking the strings, smiled, slowly stood up, and tapped her body and saluted: "Hello girl." ”

I thought that the fireworks girls were all like the women who invited guests outside, and they were delicate, but the girl in front of me was obviously unexpected by me, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had to reply stiffly: "Hello......" The girl saw that I was at a loss, but approached me with a friendly smile: "The little woman's name is Huanyu, here, the guests and other sisters call me Xiaoyu, I don't know what to call this girl?"

"Oh! I ......" I came back to my senses and remembered the pseudonym that Liu's mother gave me before, "My name is Bai Xiaying, Liu's mother gave me a name just now, and you will call me Xiaoqing here in the future" After Xiaoyu heard this, she lowered her eyelids slightly and said, "Disperse all your sorrows and bring the breeze out of the painting building." The word Qing is a little colder, but it is a good name. Saying that, Xiaoyu naturally pulled me to her piano, "Mother Liu asked me to be your artist in the future, but I think since we are of the same age, why don't we be friends first, and it will be natural to teach skills." ”

Although I have only known Xiaoyu for less than an hour, I surprisingly like her conversation and demeanor, I think I haven't taught any friends since I came to this world, and this time I can't get in at the Flower Pavilion, if I am good with Xiaoyu, to some extent, I am also protecting myself, and that Zhang Shizi only has contact with Xiaoyu every day, maybe I can learn some information about this guy from Xiaoyu's mouth, why not.

So I said yes.

Seven.

Qingqiu.

"Your Highness, the Siren Yayoi in Xinglian Town asks to see you" A little minion quickly approached the palace, bowed his head and clenched his fists to report to the person on the white marble chair, and the "Highness" frowned lightly and agreed to the request. After a while, the kraken Yayoi came from outside, the bruises on his face had not completely disappeared, and the man in the chair looked at the embarrassed kraken in front of him, as if he could imagine the scene of him being beaten.

But he didn't say anything, and raised his eyes to look down at Yayoi: "What's the matter, I don't know if I'm busy." ”

Yayoi grinned embarrassedly and said with sincerity, "Small...... The little one is just here to report to you the recent demon situation near Starlink Town......"

"Oh?" the man sneered, "what's wrong?"

"Uh...... The nearest area around Xinglian Town...... It's all good, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry......" Yayoi looked at the man in the seat with a weak heart, seeing that he didn't react, he felt that his task had been completed, so he was about to go home, but who expected that the man behind him instantly moved in front of him, reached out and pinched his chin, which happened to press on the previous scar, and he screamed in pain.

"It seems that Lord [Seagod] is loyal to me Yan Qing, and he has been fighting to the death against the fallen demon for days, and this handsome face is blue and purple. The man pinched him to death, and emphasized the word "sea god", and then Yayoi thought that he would not be able to escape, so he had to beg for mercy, and the man shook his hand and let him go.

"How many times has this king said that since the beginning of the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen, demons and people have stipulated that there should be no entanglement, but you have asked the people of Xinglian Town to offer living sacrifices to you behind this king's back, if it weren't for Chi Qi patrolling to you and finding something unusual, what year and month are you going to hide from me?"

"The little ones don't dare ......"

The man sighed exhaustedly, rubbed his eyebrows, and said to himself: "Originally, the rebellion of the demon marquis of the southern faction exhausted the king's energy, and you made it worse for me. Yayoi didn't dare to make a sound below, after all, sitting on top of this is the demon king who is above the ten thousand demons, Su Yanqing, and he was one of the four auspicious gods of the fairy world before this, the fox fairy Xuanhuajun, who was punished by heaven before being demoted to a demon, and his true strength is unknown.

Yayoi seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked the demon king tentatively: "Your Highness, I don't know if I should report something to you...... "The demon king glanced at him and nodded.

"When the little self-immeasurable was doing evil in Xinglian Town, he was taught a lesson by a Taoist chief and a woman...... That Dao Leader should be a disciple of the Kunlun Pure Yang Sect, if the little one is not mistaken, that Dao Chief's sword is like the Xi Zhao Sword......"

The Demon King's eyes began to become cloudy after hearing this name, but he quickly came back to his senses and said calmly: "The Xi Zhao Long Sword is a divine sword inherited from the head of the Pure Yang Sect, since that kid is holding this sword, presumably Li Shousheng's old man has already decided the next person in charge, so there is no need to make a fuss."

"And ...... That woman is also a little strange...... "Yayoi continued, "that woman has a demonic aura on her, but it is not as strong as ours, and the little delusional guess that there is only one possibility of such a situation, and that is - she is a half-demon. ”

Yayoi boldly said what he thought in his heart, and then he saw that the demon king looked at him with a shocked face after listening to his words, and meditated in his heart to see if he could have said something wrong that angered the demon king, but what he didn't expect was that the demon king didn't make a move, but asked softly: "What's her name?"

"Hakunatsu Sakura ......"

"Where are these two now?"

"The little one only knows that they went north...... Probably...... Probably in the direction of going to Jianghuai Town. ”

After hearing this, the demon king nodded slightly with satisfaction, and let Yayoi retreat, and after Yayoi left, the demon king turned around and called softly: "Chi Qi." Then a black shadow came out of nowhere, and with a "whoosh" descended to the demon king, and replied half-kneeling: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

"Go to Jianghuai Town and find the two people Yayoi said just now. ”

"Yes. ”
