Kill the Demon King from the Demon Slayer Dungeon

Chapter 11 The water in Kyoto is very deep

In the evening, Jiang Nan returned home.

After washing my hands, I went to the restaurant habitually, but there was nothing on the table.

"Hey, did your sister not make dinner tonight?"

Jiang Nan looked at Li Ze.

At this time in the past, Li Lu had already prepared dinner and was waiting for them to come back to eat.

But today, until now, there has been no movement.

Li Ze also felt strange.

"Master, please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to have a look."

Li Ze quickly walked to the kitchen.

The things in the kitchen are neatly placed, but there are no fireworks.

Looking around, there was no sign of Li Lu.

Soon, he came back.

"Master, my sister is not at home."

"not at home?"

Jiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the sky.

Could it be that he entered the inner city?

Whether it is in terms of supplies or prosperity, the outer city can't keep up with the inner city.

It was normal for Li Lu to go into the inner city to buy things.

At this time, the gates of the inner city are still closed, so if you want to come back, it should be almost soon.

It is rare that Li Lu is not at home when it is time to eat.

But now there are only four people in the entire Green Bamboo Residence. Li Lu is busy with housework and cooking. It is normal for her to go to the inner city to delay her time.

No matter, such a big person can't lose it.

Li Lu was not a child either.

She will naturally cook when she comes back, so he doesn't have to worry about that.

"Call me when you're eating."

Jiang Nan said.

He has always been very casual with his servants.

Then he turned around and left the restaurant, and went to the back courtyard to practice sword skills...

The sky gradually darkened.

In the backyard, Jiang Nan threw the knife in his hand casually, and the long knife turned into a graceful arc and fell onto the knife holder not far away.

After taking a shower, I came to the restaurant.

There were dishes on the table, but when he saw the dishes, he knew that this dish was not made by Li Lu.

"Your sister didn't come back?"

Jiang Nan asked.

Li Ze, who was wearing an apron, nodded, "Yeah."

Then he said: "Brother Zhou has already gone to look for it."

"Master, you will just eat a little to fill your stomach. When my sister comes back, I will make another one."

Li Ze said with some embarrassment.

Jiang Nan nodded.

Don't mind, just sit down and start eating.

During this period of time, he ate two meals, one early and one late, and he didn't eat at noon.

At the end of the day, plus practicing at night, I am indeed hungry.

However, compared with Li Lu's dishes, Li Ze's dishes are not worse than 01:30.

But, fortunately, it can be eaten.

After eating a bowl of rice, before the bowl was put down, Zhou Qing came.

He clasped his fists and said, "Master."

Jiang Nan raised his head and looked behind him, but he didn't see Li Lu.

He casually asked, "Where's Li Lu?"

Zhou Qing's face was a little serious, and he said, "Master, Li Lu is missing."

Missing?

Jiang Nan frowned slightly.

Will Jiang's maid disappear?
"Ask if there is any place in the general's mansion?"

Prince Yong's mansion is in the imperial city, and the general's mansion is in the inner city.

Even if Li Lu wanted to bring something out of Prince Yong's Mansion, there was no way, Li Lu couldn't enter the imperial city with her current status.

Therefore, if there is a special need, Li Lu will only turn to the General's Mansion for help.

"I asked, Li Lu has never been to the General's Mansion."

Zhou Qing said, "Someone saw her in the Tianxiu Jewelry Store on Banyan Tree Street this afternoon, but I didn't know about it afterwards. I asked some patrolling people and they said they didn't see her."

Jiang Nan had a bad premonition in his heart.

But he also hopes that this premonition is not true.

"Go and investigate immediately! Ask the General's Mansion to assist in the investigation, we must find out the person."

Jiang Nan said.

Although the gate of the inner city was closed, Jiang Nan knew that Zhou Qing had a way to get in touch with the people in the General's Mansion in the Inner City. He was the guard of the General's Mansion, but he was sent here after he was demoted to a commoner.

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Qing cupped his fists and left immediately.

Jiang Nan said to Li Ze: "You stay at the door, in case your sister is delayed because of something, you can open the door for her when you come back."

"Okay." Li Ze said.

When Li Lu disappeared, Jiang Nan lost his appetite and walked out immediately.

……

Zhou House.

This is a very bright room.

The room is large, with a light yellow wooden floor, very bright and clean.

Obviously, there is constant maintenance.

Several paintings of scantily clad ladies hung on the walls covered with wallpaper.

Also hung a beautifully decorated sword, the scabbard and hilt of which were inlaid with colorful gems.

What is particularly obvious is that there is a large bed in the center of the room, covered with a thick pale pink mattress, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Beside the bed was a large white fur.

However, lying on the white fur was a pale woman in a light green dress with a bloodstained chest, which added a bloody atmosphere to such a beautiful room.

The woman was breathless at this moment, and the blood on her chest was no longer flowing.

Zhou Tingyu, whose face and body were splashed with bright red blood, looked extremely gloomy.

He didn't expect the maid in front of him to be so strong.

Would rather die than be touched by him.

Before the woman died, she mentioned the "General's Mansion" and "Young Master", which also made him understand that he was being plotted against.

She is not Cao Jing's maid at all, but a member of the general's mansion, Jiang Nan's former son.

Obviously, Cao Jing and Xu Chuliang had known Jiang Nan's maid for a long time.

And because the maid was so beautiful, he got so spunky for a moment that he didn't care about it at all, and wanted to rape her.

This led to such a result.

Even, until the maid died, he didn't know her name.

"Cao Jing—Xu Chuliang—how dare you harm me!"

Zhou Tingyu's eyes were full of killing intent.

He wiped the blood from his face, and his face suddenly looked like a ghost.

Although his father, Zhou Boli, was on the Zuoying side, he was not completely against the Jiang family.

As for himself, although he is close to several princes and the heirs of several princes and ministers, he has not yet fully expressed his position.

It may be a matter of time before he confronts the Jiang family, but at least he doesn't want to for the time being.

Before his wings are full, he doesn't want to expose himself prematurely, he just wants to be a quiet playboy.

But now, someone pushed him, as if to let him come to the stage.

This annoyed him immensely.

The water in Kyoto is very deep.

Not everyone can play this game of chess.

Looking at the maid's body, Zhou Tingyu's expression was gloomy.

In fact, the death of a maid is not a big deal. Even if they are found out, they will only pay some money at most.

The maid is a slave, not to mention that he didn't kill her, even if she did, it's fine.

At worst, I'd like to apologize to that ruined son.

It's just that in this way, he will be directly exposed to the Jiang family, and he will no longer be able to hide.

This is what makes him most angry.

"How unlucky!"

Wipe off the blood on his face with the sleeve of the bathrobe, and then shouted: "Come on!"

The sound penetrated outside.

After a while, a guard came in. Seeing the scene inside, he was slightly taken aback, but then his expression was indifferent, not surprising.

"Dispose of the corpse." Zhou Tingyu said indifferently.

"Yes."

The guard picked up the corpse and walked out quickly, quickly disappearing into the night.

Two night cats, one yellow and one black, lay quietly on the courtyard wall outside the house.

Seeing that the guards brought the corpse out, the two cats just glanced at it, and then continued to stare at Zhou Tingyu's room with gloomy eyes.

Until the sound of Zhou Tingyu throwing things angrily came from the room, the two cats looked at each other, fought with each other for a while, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.

……

Boom~~
Thunder rumbled.

Crash la la la... Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky accompanied by strong winds.

This is the first rain since summer.

The rain came quickly and heavily.

Almost a squall.

The raindrops hit the roof quickly, crackling.

The bamboo forest outside was buzzing.

Standing in front of the window, Jiang Nan frowned slightly as she watched the heavy rain falling rapidly outside the corridor.

It's so late, Li Lu hasn't come back yet.

And it rained so much.

He has specifically told Zhou Qing not to go to bed so early at night.

Therefore, this night, the light at the gate of Cuizhuju was always on.

……

PS: Li Lu's death is a breaking point (this is a foreshadowing, please forgive the author for leaving a suspense here), and it is also the prelude to the strangeness of this world.
