After the queen came to the throne, I was forced to be nine thousand years old

Chapter 116 The Snake Demon Eats People (Part 12)
That night, someone sent a letter to the angry Annanbo, saying that they would meet outside the city.

An Nanbo was full of awe in front of the man in black, and left the city late at night.

He seemed to be very familiar with the place where the man in black made an appointment to meet him. After leaving the city, he arrived at the agreed place only half an hour later.

"Who are you?" An Nanbo squinted at the mysterious man behind the waterfall.

A token appeared in the mysterious man's hand, and An Nanbo was startled, and stood on the spot in a daze.

The next day, An Nanbo went out of the city late at night, and the news of his assassination outside the city spread in the capital, which caused an uproar and shook the court.

The main hall of Hanyuan Hall.

Bang!
Emperor Yuanji looked angry, and slapped the memorial in his hand on the case, and said in a deep voice, "A second-class earl was assassinated outside the capital, tell me, can't find the murderer?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, "You can't find out if Annan Bo was killed outside the city today, so you can't find out if you kill me in the imperial city tomorrow? I support you because I want you to tell me that I can't find out." Is it?"

All the courtiers held wat boards and bowed their heads in silence.

It's just that some people who knew about the black fish report in the city yesterday looked at Grand Master Yuan Zhong with strange eyes.

But no one spoke.

It's not that they are incompetent, but that there are too many strange things about Annanbo's death, why did he go out of the city late at night, or was he alone, and why was he killed by his own knife?

All kinds of doubts made it more difficult to solve the case. What's more, the case happened last night, and the emperor will find out the truth this morning. How can we find out.

Strangely, no one mentioned the case of Heiyu, which caused an uproar in the city yesterday, and no one mentioned the death of Concubine Xiao.

Emperor Yuanji aimed all his spearheads at An Nanbo's unclear cause of death.

The last court meeting in Yuanji 15 years ended in the angry roar of Emperor Yuanji.

Zuo Dodge naturally didn't know.

At this moment, he was dressed in military uniform, beside Ji Lingshu who was jumping happily, and behind him was Xiao Jizi who was also dressed in military uniform.

"Ahem, today is the first time we have cast down demons at Zaoyi, let's take a good look at it and learn from it!"

Zuo Dodge was speaking on a high platform in the cold palace.

He handed the poem to Princess Changyi last night, and by the way, he said that he wanted to change the people's perception of Zaoyi, and Princess Changyi easily agreed.

No, Zuo Daoqi took his crooked melon and split dates early in the morning to go out of the city to slay demons.

Of course, he is not a reckless person, so he naturally follows a master.

"Grandpa Niu, would you like to say a few words?"

Zuo Dodge lighted a pipe for 'Grandpa Niu' with a low eyebrow and said cautiously.

Grandpa Niu took a sharp puff, and exhaled an extremely thick puff of smoke into the air, "You are right, we don't need to say it."

It would take half an hour for ordinary people to smoke the tobacco leaves, but Zuo Dodge smoked them all in just a lecture.

It's just a ghost in smoke.

It's not easy to invite this Grandpa Niu. Zuo Daoqi said all the good things yesterday, so Grandpa Niu let go, and only this mission will help.

But who made Zuo Daoqi cowardly, there are too many monsters in this world, and there is no one who can hold the field, so he is really a little scared.

Of course, he definitely didn't want to ask Zuo Daoqi to stop. It wasn't until he practiced himself that he realized how slow the practice of the immortal way was.

According to his cultivation talent of the three-veined spiritual network, every step in the foundation-building realm is based on years. Although he can withstand loneliness, but there are hang-ups, who wants to practice honestly.

[The first act of the script "Shocking Change" is completed, and the access to Dao Xing is doubled (ten times), and the authority is five times]

After today's discussion in the Hanyuan Hall, the first act of "Shocking Change" has been completed, and the rewards are far less rich than the script of "Lenggong", and the epiphany that Zuo Daoqi coveted the most is gone.

It was the doubling of Taoism that made him feel moved. This doubling refers to the Taoism obtained from taking pills, practicing, and the life script "Zhanxie".

When the buff that doubled the experience value appeared, Zuo Daoqi couldn't help but go out of the city to slay demons and demons. If he killed a small boss, he might be upgraded directly. The promotion comes quickly.

A group of six people in total went out of the palace to slay demons.

It snowed heavily last night, and the snow outside the palace has not been completely cleared, so there are not many people on the street.

Zuo Dodge went to Xie's Car Store and hired a large carriage, which could accommodate six people and required two horses to pull it.

Grandpa Niu seemed very satisfied with Zuo Dodge's approach, and nodded slightly, "Xiao Luzi, you are really pleasing."

He also knew Ji Lingshu's identity, and he didn't act too close, nor too indifferent, but treated him like an ordinary clan in the clan's mansion, so he was the first to get in the car without hesitation.

Zuo Dodge took Ji Lingshu's hand and was about to help her into the car.

Ji Lingshu lightly pinched his palm, and whispered excitedly, "Uncle, aren't we going to slay demons? Why don't we go on horseback? I read that the knights in the books are all on horseback. .”

Zuo Dodge touched his chin and patted her on the head, "That's right, but can you ride a horse?"

"will not."

"I don't know how to ride a horse."

Ji Lingshu glared at him, twisted her buttocks and got into the carriage.

Not to be outdone, Zuo Dodge glared at her butt, which was a little round.

"Little Jizi, you learn to drive with Uncle Li outside, study hard and learn, and you will be the imperial coachman of this hundred households in the future."

"Yes." Xiaojizi is quite an adventurous person, interested in experiencing all the things he has never experienced before.

The carriage left two deep ruts on the snow, and rushed out of the city at a slow speed.

The outside of the city in winter is quite artistic, covered with snow and covered in silver.

Every time he passed a village, Xiao Jizi stood on the shaft of the car and shouted, "Kill the demons at the Zaoyi place in Kyoto, and everyone will be killed if there is a demon for a demon, and a ghost for a ghost."

"My lord, what kind of government office is Zaoyi?" Old people like the village chief always asked.

Xiaojizi had a good idea, and replied calmly, "The adults in my family have said that the Zaoyi Department is the palace yamen, which belongs to the emperor's sage, and is responsible for supervising the officials and helping the people kill demons."

"That's a good Yamen."

……

Hearing this kind of talk a lot, even Grandpa Niu had a smile on his face.

"Xiao Luzi, your method is not bad, it has enhanced the reputation of our Zaoyi Department."

Zuo Daoqi felt complacent, that was natural, but before he finished his complacency, the old eunuch Niu continued, "When our family kills people later, we won't be afraid of being impeached by the judge."

Emmm...

You old eunuch can't think of something good, why do you think of harming others.

Obviously, there were fewer monsters outside the city than Zuo Daoqi imagined, and the carriage went through dozens of villages in a row, and they were all in harmony. After asking, I found out that the Demon Slayer Mansion's Exorcist just came out a few days ago to mop up the demons.

Zhuo, grab the business!
Zuo Dodge was secretly annoyed.

But when I came to a county called Kangping County, I came to live.

Outside of Kyoto, there are seven Fuguo counties. Ling County, which Zuo Daoqi has been to, is the closest one, and Kangping County is almost the farthest.

The county magistrate was a rather well-to-do middle-aged man, somewhat handsome, and a student of Confucianism. He warmly entertained Zuo Daoqi and the others.

"Elder Niu, Zuo Baihu, our Kangping County, as its name suggests, has not seen any evil spirits for many years." The county magistrate raised his glass enthusiastically and said to several people.

Zuo Dodge was a little discouraged. He was on the road all day. Although he helped Zaoyi Department gain popularity, he had no record.

It's useless to be famous without a record.

Just when everyone was full and ready to go to the next county, a small official ran in from outside and said something in the ear of the county magistrate.

The countenance magistrate's complexion became a little ugly, but he didn't say anything, "Something happened to the county government, let's take it easy, let the officials go out and have a look."

Zuo Dodge didn't care at first.

On the other hand, Ji Lingshu stopped someone outside the county government office after the county magistrate left, and asked, "What happened to the county government office?"

I don't know if the county magistrate left in a hurry or was negligent, and he didn't issue a password, the little official said in a straightforward manner.

"Returning to my lord, there are traces of monsters in the Kangping Coal Mine outside, eating a lot of people, and now the coal miners are clamoring to stop work."

Ji Lingshu frowned, "Again? Have there been cannibal incidents before?"

The little official nodded, "About ten years ago, when Zhao Xianzun had just taken office, there was a monster eating people. Zhao Xianzun subdued the demon. I didn't expect it to appear again now."

Zuo Dodge and Ji Lingshu looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Weird!
