Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 31 Strange Things
When she glanced at her, Duan Yuzhi also felt the subtle atmosphere. Thinking of Laifeng County, Yu's smile was always a little strange.

Plain, too plain, so plain that there seems to be no intention of survival!
The people had already given up on them, and all ran towards the county government. At this moment, there was no one in front of their car, but they also turned their horses around, and followed the crowd to catch up at a faster pace.

Crowds flocked to the gate of the county government office like a tide, and the place was already in chaos.

The servants who were dismissed in the morning and wandering around reluctantly had already rushed in to put out the fire, and the people hurried to fetch water nearby to put out the fire.There are also those who have been favored by the county magistrate and his wife, shouting in front of the fire.

"Mrs. Lin! Mrs. Lin!"

Regrettably, the raging fire in this old and simple county government courtyard showed Yu's determination, and it couldn't be extinguished no matter what.

The yard came crashing down.

"Mrs. Lin! Mrs. Lin!"

The voices of the people were piercing, and some people were already crying loudly.Lin and his wife have worked hard in Feng County for 20 years, serving as officials and the people. A good official in the hearts of the people, but their family died, and they did not die well.

"Lin's life is worthy of the sky and the people, but he has ended up like this! Tiansheng's sorrow, the sage's sorrow!"

Duan Yuzhi lamented.

Through the flames, Sheng Yang seemed to see the souls of Lin Zhang and Yu Shi holding hands and swaying upwards, breaking through the confinement of the county government and breaking through the pale yellow sky of Feng County. Their ending trembled slightly.

Chiyu also witnessed this moment silently, her eyes were dim, remembering the conversation between the three of them last night, she encouraged her to take revenge together, just to let her have a thought, but she didn't expect that this would not shake her determination in the slightest.

"She died for love..." Chiyu murmured.

Wen Ming wiped the dust off his face, "She died for love, one was for her daughter, and the other was for her husband. She no longer has the strength to live."

This incident hit the people of Feng County even more. From the thick smoke, they seemed to see the unpredictable future of Feng County... The people who were aggressive just now had no energy and dispersed one after another. Some children were unknown. , Playing at the gate of the county government office that is still burning.

Wen Ming and the housekeeper of the Lin family discussed the funeral, and Sheng Yang and the others went outside the city to wait.

I got up early today, and the sun was scattered when I left, but now it is already setting sun.The bright white sunlight cannot penetrate Feng County, but the fiery red setting sun can clearly illuminate the curling smoke. Perhaps the fire has just been lit, and the sky in Feng County has more debris than when we came here, and it is more pale and hard to see.

Sheng Yang was moved by the scene, thinking of such a wonderful person as Yu Shi, who had just gone like this, she squeezed her hands slightly and sighed.

"People say that the setting sun is like fire, but it is not as shocking as the fire just now."

Duan Yuzhi held her hand silently.

"I used to think that dying for love was something only a coward would do, but seeing Yu's determination today, I feel that I need more courage."

Sheng Yang looked at him, his eyes clouded.

"Sometimes it takes more courage to die than to live."

"Duan Yuzhi..."

"Ok?"

There was a moment of silence in the car.

"nothing."

Duan Yuzhi said, "Yue'er, if one day I go ahead of you, you...would you do that?"

Rong Yue turned her head to look at him, with a faint smile on his mouth, as if trying to tell herself that he was just joking, but his eyes were as deep as the night sky, with deep affection in them, hard to ignore.

Even so, she turned her head away and shook her head firmly, "No."

Duan Yuzhi smiled slightly, "I knew you had a lot more to worry about than the word love."

However, Sheng Yang caught the disappointment flashing from his eyes.

"I asked this because I was confused...I hope you live well no matter what."

"En." Sheng Yang rarely responded obediently.

"Your Highness!"

Wen Ming interrupted the two of them, "The matter has been settled, let's go."

The carriage crooked and stepped forward against the setting sun. Perhaps it was the sound of the wheels, which made the two people in the carriage unable to calm down.

After walking for about one kilometer, when the sun had completely set, at the moment when the sun and the moon were changing, Sheng Yang finally couldn't help asking.

"how about you?"

It was quiet in the carriage, and there was no voice. Sheng Yang looked sideways, and Duan Yuzhi seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

Across the wilderness of Fengxian County, the carriage stopped and walked in the small road of Huangshan Mountain, and it was another night in a trance.

In the early morning, Fang could see clearly that the road was barren and the mountains were continuous, but there was little greenery, the yellow mountain bark was exposed, and a few trees were scattered.Going a few more steps forward, a green hill that could be seen in Feng County just now suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

"This is Luzhi Mountain?"

Sheng Yang raised the curtain and looked at it for a long time.

"Yes."

Duan Yuzhi was also watching through the gap in the car curtain left by her shoulders.

It is rumored that Luzhi Mountain got its name because of its unique climate, dense trees on the mountain, surrounded by rivers, green mountains and green waters, which brought abundant rain to Beiguan, making Beiguan the only one in Luzhou. land of plenty.In the hearts of Beiguan people, this whole mountain seems to have been moved here from the south with the eyes of the gods, bringing blessings to the entire Luzhou.

Sure enough, passing by the foot of the mountain, the climate is much humid. Although Sheng Yang is afraid of the cold, he still looks around, which is quite interesting.

Duan Yuzhi put on a fox fur for her, and asked casually, "Is this fox fur presented to you by Yun Yang?"

Sheng Yang turned around and saw him tugging at the tail of the fox fur coat, looking at him maliciously.

"Yes, this was presented by Yun Yang on my birthday last year in the name of the Northern Wei Army."

Duan Yuzhi snorted softly, and threw it out of his hand a little unhappily.

Don't take off what I'm wearing, Sheng Yang tightened his cloak.

"Teacher Duan, do you think that Lin Zhang's death was really caused by the crown prince and Lord Zhen Guo?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

"I don't think so."

"I feel so too."

Duan Yuzhi's face became serious, and when he mentioned official business, he really looked like a tutor.

"Lin Zhang just came back from Pingyang to report to the imperial court. His father even invited him to the imperial court for questioning. He even comforted him in front of all the officials. He praised him for his courage and good father. He is the most popular father at the moment. When you are paying attention, it is really not a wise decision for the prince and Duke Zhen to act at this time."

"The prince is not so stupid."

"Is it because the prince is not so stupid, or is the left prime minister not so stupid?"

The corner of Sheng Yang's mouth twitched slightly, with contempt in his eyes.

This leftist, hiding behind his back, picked himself clean, pretended to have nothing to do with the world, but in fact offered advice, unequivocally, she glanced at Duan Yuzhi again, but it happened to be his mentor.

Sure enough, Duan Yuzhi was a little uncomfortable when she mentioned Prime Minister Zuo, "Prime Minister Zuo and the prince are also teachers and students, and he has been indifferent to world affairs for many years."

"Hmph," Sheng Yang sneered, "you're deceiving yourself! Let me ask you, if one day the prime minister wants to kill me, will you also face him?"

Duan Yuzhi shook his head and smiled, "He won't do anything to you, I know that well. If there is such a day, I will die for you."

"Okay, okay, Mrs. Duan remember what I said!"

"Hey! You," Duan Yuzhi hugged her and Hu Qiu into his arms, "You are such a cat that explodes when you touch it. "

Sheng Yang twisted restlessly in his arms to express his protest, but he still didn't twist his arms, leaned in his arms and continued, "Since the prince didn't do it, then could it be that the second brother did it?"

"I'm going to ask you this, you second brother, what do you think?"

Duan Yu's chin rested on her forehead, and the warm breath pounced on her forehead, stirring the broken hair on her forehead, which was a little itchy.

"Impossible," she said with some certainty when she suddenly remembered something.

"Why? You should know what he did?"

"Of course, otherwise I have no fun with him."

"It was your favorite concubine friend who tipped you off?"

"You saw it early?"

In fact, seeing him at the banquet that day, she guessed that Chi Bing's identity would be exposed sooner or later.

"Then you should also know that she is a demon, why don't you expose it?"

"Although she has deep affection for the second prince, she is also true to you. Based on her understanding of the second prince and the affection he has for her, she can protect you when necessary."

Duan Yuzhi turned her to face him, and said quite seriously, "Although the second prince is unwilling to be born and intends to seize the heirloom, he is quite upright among the three princes, and he is devoted to political affairs. You have to fight with him Cooperation, I have no intention of interfering, but there is always no one behind him who can determine the world, it is difficult to fight against the prince. When you associate with him, you must hide behind you, and don't be used as a shield by him. In the future, if he loses, the prince I won't show mercy to you."

"Then what should I do, I have offended the prince." Sheng Yang tugged at his sleeve, his eyes flickered, pretending to be innocent and begging for mercy, "Teacher Duan, please save me."

Duan Yuzhi nodded her nose, "Are you still afraid?"

Sheng Yang turned his head away, leaned into his arms again, and snickered mischievously in his arms.

Seeing this, he said again, "I don't dare to have any opinion on what you want to do, but you must consider it carefully, and don't have any more things about the station."

Sheng Yang straightened his mind, "I know."

After laughing, Sheng Yang thought carefully about Duan Yuzhi's answer just now, but his face turned cold. None of what Duan Yuzhi said was the answer she wanted.

The carriage stopped, and Wen Ming said outside, "Your Highness, Taifu, it seems that you have arrived."

"Why do you say it seems?"

Duan Yuzhi lifted the curtain and had already reached the gate of the city, but when he raised his head, he understood what Wen Ming meant. There was not a single plaque on the city wall.

"Into the city."

Duan Yuzhi gave an order, and the carriage moved forward slowly again.

There were no guards at the gate of the city.

They entered the city gate, but the carriage stopped again.

Wen Ming leaned closer to the carriageway, "You two, the people from Beiguan are here."

Duan Yuzhi gently lifted Sheng Yang from his arms, Beiguan is all the prince's people, they should not be too close, lest the prince catch him.

Sheng Yang reproached softly, "What's the matter, they can't see it again."

One hand was still holding Duan Yuzhi's hand under the fox fur with nostalgia.

There were voices outside the window.

"Hu Luan, magistrate of Beiguan County, please see His Royal Highness Princess Shengyang, Grand Tutor Duan, and welcome you two."

Duan Yuzhi supported Sheng Yang and got out of the car unhurriedly. Hu Luan saw Taifu Duan with a cold handsome face, and His Highness Sheng Yang raised his chin. It was a haughty look of not answering, he was slandering in his heart, but he was still kneeling on his face, and his etiquette was still correct.

Sheng Yang gave him a condescending look, and Duan Yuzhi said, "Get up."

He stood up slowly.

He looks a little contradictory, chubby, not tall, and Hu Yuan is worthy of being a cousin, and he does have some resemblance, but he should be white and fat like Hu Yuan, but his face is not white, but he is also It's not black, it seems to be yellow, just looking at his face, he looks like a person who hasn't eaten, drank or closed his eyes for a few days, and his whole body is full of emaciation and obesity.

The moment he stood up, his legs seemed to be weak, and the guards around him hurriedly helped him up.

The guard looked healthy.It's just that there are a few guards behind them, but they are sallow and thin, their eye sockets are sunken, and their lips are bloodless. They look like they haven't eaten enough, and they are fainting. They don't seem to be able to protect people.

Is Beiguan really suffering from famine?
"Lord Hu, you rule Beiguan, and the plaque on the city wall has disappeared."

Duan Yuzhi flicked his sleeves and sneered.

Hu Luan just stood up and fell down on his knees, "Teacher Duan, it's a low-ranking official who has neglected his duty! This low-ranking official has neglected his duty, and he can't even keep the plaque on Beiguan!"

"Why don't you have this plaque?" Wen Ming asked while watching the play.

"This..." He showed embarrassment, "A few days ago, a group of refugees smashed the sign."

"Why?" Duan Yuzhi's face darkened even more.

"My lord Tai Tu, this small place...has been famine for two months...the people have grievances...it's right..."

His voice was as loud as a mosquito, for fear that Duan Yuzhi would catch him and blame him.

Duan Yuzhi and Sheng Yang looked at each other, "Didn't you have a bumper harvest last year? I heard that it was reported to the Holy Master, and the granary was filled. Putting down the bold words can provide the whole Luzhou with no worries for a year. Why, maybe the Chinese New Year is too much Extravagance, ruining all the food?"

"My lord, my lord! Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness is clearly aware!" Hu Luan knelt down and shouted, kowtowing ten times, "It's really not that this official concealed it on purpose, this official is really helpless! I really can't handle it here, this official I sent a letter to Pingyang to admit my mistake a month ago!"

"The Luzhou post station has been taken over by demons. I'm afraid your letter has never been sent to Pingyang."

"Ah... this..." Hu Luan was greatly surprised, "Yizhou post station has been taken over by monsters! It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! These demons are deceiving people too much! They are deceiving people too much!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Duan Yuzhi's eyes shining, his legs were still on the ground, but he moved to Duan Yuzhi's feet, "Teacher Duan! Master Taifu! You are the first demon catcher in Tiansheng, There is no demon in this world that you cannot catch, help us, help us catch the demon thief who steals food!"

"You said it was a demon who stole your food?"

"Of course, my lord, this huge Beiguan granary, with three hundred shi of grain, was gone in one night, and was evacuated in one night! Isn't this a demon? How can there be such a strange thing!"

Sheng Yang and Duan Yuzhi looked at each other, and it was exactly as Yun Yang said.
