Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 48 Chapter 048, Mrs. Zhao
This mature beauty with white skin like snow, curvaceous plumpness and picturesque features is Zhao Mengshan's own sister.

In the flower hall before, she had cried so hard that she begged Duke Ying to make decisions for her younger brother.

But after some brainstorming after Mr. Zhang returned to Fucheng, Duke Ying really believed that Mu Qingxue was planting spies everywhere to investigate the Duke's mansion.

For Mu Qingxue, Duke Ying certainly wouldn't be too afraid.

He is the hereditary Duke of the Prince of Zhibi, a mere Mu Qingxue can't touch him.

However, behind Mu Qingxue, there is a great god who cannot be offended - "the leader of the heroes" Yan Tianying.

The world's number one martial arts master, even the current emperor and the ministers of the cabinet respect him three-pointedly, and even the Taoist monks who have always looked down on martial artists look at him with admiration.Daoist masters of the first rank of Taoism all regard him as a "friend of Taoism".

There is such a great god sitting in the God Catch Hall, who is not worried about being watched by the God Catch Hall?
Even with the status of Ying Guogong, the iron certificate of the alchemy book bestowed by the emperor Taizu, and the contacts of the Guogong Mansion in the capital, in theory, as long as it is not a conspiracy, no matter what the Guogong Mansion has done, no matter what extraordinary things it has done There would be too much guilt.

But the problem is that the civil servants of the imperial court have always been at odds with Xungui, and they want to destroy Xungui whenever they get the chance.

In addition, the Duke's Mansion is indeed not clean, and some private activities must be seriously considered and insisted on, and it can really be talked about "conspiring against the big treason".

Faced with such a situation, how could Duke Ying, who could not stand the scrutiny, dare to easily show his flaws and ask the Shencatching Hall to catch the mistakes?

Therefore, Duke Ying flatly denied Mrs. Zhao's request to send capable men to find out the real culprit and avenge his brother.

Duke Ying is indeed the one who loves Mrs. Zhao the most, but Lord Ying is not a foolish fool.

In Ying Guogong's view, the most urgent task is to find out exactly where Mu Qingxue has planted spies related to the Duke's mansion, and at the same time destroy some evidence and clues that may be unfavorable to the Duke's mansion, and then kill some people. ...

Of the above, which one does not require a large number of capable people?
How can we spare manpower to investigate the assassination of Zhao Mengshan?
Even in Ying Guo's public and private mind, he thought the same as Zhang Wenbin:
Zhao Mengshan died well and wonderfully.

The death of this bloodthirsty, cruel and perverted brother-in-law not only lost a murderer who might affect his reputation as Duke Ying, but also accidentally destroyed one of Mu Qingxue's arrangements, and even gave Zhang Wenbin an insight into Mu Qingxue's investigation. The layout of the government office.

For Ying Guogong, Zhao Mengshan and that extremely professional assassin have made great achievements!

However, Ying Guogong has his overall situation, but to Mrs. Zhao, her precious brother is her overall situation.

She is just a concubine, she can be favored by Duke Ying because she is young, beautiful, considerate, and has the good job of serving Duke Ying comfortably.

But even though she has been favored by the Duke, she has never given birth to a son or a daughter.The Duke's Mansion has already had a son, so don't even think about seizing the heir.

Since she has no children to count on, after a hundred years of Duke Ying, the only thing she can count on in the future is her younger brother who has depended on her for life since she was a child.

Of course she knew what hobbies her brother had.

In fact, she is also the same, but not as serious as her brother. Usually, at most, she will kill kittens and puppies, and the little rabbits and birds will be satisfied.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of hobby would of course be considered cruel, perverted and unreasonable, but Mrs. Zhao thought it was no big deal.

What is the difference between kittens, puppies, birds and rabbits, and those grassroots and untouchables?
Aren't they all worthless things that can be trampled on wantonly?
She never felt that there was anything wrong with her younger brother's hobbies. They were born to be nobles, and they were born to trample grass people under their feet.

But now, her younger brother was actually killed, the roots of the Zhao family were cut off, and her only hope for the future was gone.

Grandpa Guo thinks that the matter is important, and he doesn't want to waste manpower and energy, but Madam Zhao can't take care of that much. No matter what, she must avenge her brother.

For this, she did not hesitate to pay any price.

Mrs. Zhao got up slowly from the couch, walked into the bedroom, lifted the quilt, and unlocked a secret lock at the head of the bed, and the bed board slid open, revealing a hidden compartment one foot square.

She took out a palm-sized old bronze mirror with mottled green and green from the secret compartment, pricked her fingertips with a hairpin, and smeared blood on the mirror.

Soon, the mirror surface absorbed the blood, the mottled patina disappeared, and the mirror surface became smooth and transparent.

Then another gloomy light flashed across the mirror, revealing a blurred figure covered in a black robe, with a blood-colored mist surfacing on his face, making it impossible to see his true face clearly.

Before the blurred figure could speak, Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth and said:
"My brother was killed. The murderer was a very professional assassin. Some people suspect that it was one of yours!"

The fuzzy figure said in a low, obscure, cold and rigid voice:

"You know, it's absolutely impossible."

Mrs. Zhao was silent for a while, and said sharply:
"I can cooperate with you, give you information, and even help you enter the Duke's mansion and provide you with a safe hiding place. But I have one request, you must help me find out who killed my brother!"

The blurred figure said:
"can."

The beautiful woman's face was distorted, her eyes were ferocious, and her voice was sharp:
"I want you to help me plant the highest-grade Blood Shadow Gu! I want to kill the murderer with my own hands, suck his blood dry, crush his bones, disembowel him, and tear him to pieces!"

After a moment of silence.

The blurry figure whispered:
"Although the highest grade of Blood Shadow Gu is not easy to cultivate and is very precious, it is worth our investment if you say so.

"It's just that you should know that only if you accept this Gu wholeheartedly and willingly, can you successfully integrate with this Gu.

"As long as you have a little resistance in your heart, the blood shadow Gu will eat up your blood, vitality, and turn you into an ugly zombie who only knows how to eat blood..."

The beautiful woman smiled slightly madly:

"Don't worry, I will accept the Blood Shadow Gu wholeheartedly and willingly, and there will never be a trace of resistance..."

The blurry figure was silent for a while before whispering just now:

"Then, as you wish..."

After negotiating the deal.

Mrs. Zhao tidied up her makeup and went to find Duke Ying again.

The Duke refused to stand up for her brother, so as Zhao Mengshan's only relative, it wouldn't be too much for her to go to Changsheng County to collect his brother's body and take care of his funeral in person, right?
……

three days later.

Yingzhou Prefecture governs Xialaiyang County, at the entrance of a cave in Yunlai Mountain.

Mu Qingxue took the lead and stepped into the entrance of the cave. Unexpectedly, she stepped on the mechanism directly with her foot, but there was a light click, and the flames flashed in front of her. Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, a cloud of lead shot at her head-on.

But there is a cannon in the hole, the muzzle is facing the hole, once the mechanism is triggered, the grinding wheel will be driven, the flint will be rubbed, the gunpowder will be ignited, and the shotgun that has been loaded will be fired.

Facing the oncoming shotgun rain, Mu Qingxue didn't change her face, she didn't hide, she just raised her arms to cover her face.

Puff puff……

There was a muffled sound, and dozens of hot leads the size of longan bombarded her almost simultaneously.

However, when such a powerful attack landed on her black cloak that hung from her neck to her ankles, covering her body airtightly, it only shook the heavy cloak a little bit, not even the fabric of the cloak. Blast.

The lead pieces turned into lead cakes one after another, and the bullets fell to the ground.

Mu Qingxue put down her arm, she was unharmed, and her pure and sweet pretty face was not even moved in the slightest.

She said lightly:
"There are still traps ahead, you follow me, don't make mistakes."

The arresters and soldiers behind him agreed one after another, followed Mu Qingxue cautiously, and went deep into the cave.

[Ask for a ticket~! 】
