MTL - Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons-Chapter 224 The princess is furious and Songzhou is desolate (4000)
Chapter 224 The princess is furious and Songzhou is desolate (4000)
Imperial City, Prince Ji’s Mansion.
The princess sat in front of the mirror, looking at the graceful and luxurious face in the mirror, with exquisite makeup, but the smile on the corners of her lips was slowly fading.
She was playing with a jade bracelet in her hand.
As her five fingers clenched, the bracelet exploded into pieces, and the broken jade **** failed to hurt her fair skin.
"You mean, the Qingzhou General Soldier didn't come to visit the palace?" The princess looked back, her voice was calm, but it made people shudder.
We waited with great anticipation for a day and a night, and we had already figured out how to mock Jiang Yuanhua.
But until now, the entrance to the palace is still empty.
The maid knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "Princess...the commander-in-chief who came to Beijing this time is not the one you know...it is General Xuanjia who came to the palace last time."
…”
Princess Ji was stiff for a long time, then she took a deep breath and sat back down.
Hearing this, Princess Ji was stunned.
In terms of status, she is even higher than her, a princess who has some relationship with Xuanguang Cave.
If the identity of the inspector only surprised her, then the meaning of the disciples of the Martial Temple was completely different.
But on the surface, he did not dare to be disrespectful at all: "I'll prepare the car right away."
Thinking of this, Princess Ji waved her sleeves gently: "If he comes to visit, just say that I am not in the mansion. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? If the rightful owner doesn't come forward, let someone come to the front."
Before they had gone far, they suddenly heard Princess Ji say again: "Forget it, prepare the car, I will go to congratulate him personally."
The maid held back her tears and said out of breath: "Master Shen has been promoted again, and now he is the deputy inspector of the Demon Suppression Department! There is no news of demon trouble in Qingzhou."
Instead of giving the young man a false name as a general soldier, do you really think that you will treat him as a general soldier?
“Princess…”
Several guards outside the door nodded in agreement.
When the group of guards came back today, their expressions were extremely weird.
Even if the opponent kills the demon king with his own hands, he will never reach this position.
The maid's delicate body trembled even more, and she whispered in fear: "That general may not come to the palace."
The maid didn't dare to hesitate any more. She finished all the information she had in one breath, then covered her face and leaned down again.
About an hour later.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have guessed wrong.
After pondering for a long time, she forced out a smile and said: "Let me pick out a treasure from my palace, the kind of treasure that contains the soul, and then send it to the Martial Temple to congratulate Master Shen on his promotion."
She sneered, Jiang Yuanhua's good disciple didn't come, but he asked General Shen to come. He was not willing to bow to her.
"General Shen has been promoted to the rank of general. He did not come to the imperial city to ask for help..." The maid raised her head and was kicked in the face. Her whole body rolled out four or five times, and her cheekbones collapsed.
.
“What do you mean?” Princess Ji’s fingers stroking her hair paused slightly.
"Are you playing riddles with me?" Princess Ji stood up slowly and walked to her.
She covered her face in fear, but still tried hard to swallow the plasma down her throat.
If I remember correctly, there was no grudge between her and General Xiao Shen.
Inspector of the Demon-Suppressing Division?
As the people around them, they know best how to figure out the thoughts of their masters.
Earlier, they said that they would be turned away, but now the palace has taken the initiative to congratulate her.
It is always right to make friends with such a young prodigy in advance. Don't let the master and apprentice surnamed Jiang cause any misunderstandings between you and Shen Yi, leaving unnecessary gaps.
The guards were all stunned, and then secretly cursed in their hearts.
Qingzhou has changed its general army, what about Jiang Yuanhua?
Before I saw the Qingzhou General Soldier last night, I had already sent someone to the Martial Temple in the name of the palace to inquire.
Even though it is now in decline, there are still monks in the realm of gods sitting inside.
Has the demon disaster in Qingzhou been resolved? But even so, how did this inspector get promoted?
died?
Furthermore, the Martial Temple has specially prepared a vacancy for him as an inspector, which shows that he is valued highly, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a true disciple.
If this is the case, then Qingzhou's current crisis may be much more serious than he expected.
Princess Ji raised her eyebrows.
Princess Ji's arrogance comes from her contempt for the secular dynasty when she was born in an immortal sect. But now that Shen Yi has entered a real martial arts temple, she is a serious disciple of the immortal sect.
"snort."
“Master Shen! Master Shen has entered the first courtyard of the Martial Temple! Now he is a disciple of the Martial Temple.”
In name, Wu Temple is on an equal footing with Xuanguang Cave and Wutong Mountain.
The royal palace's luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the long street and soon stopped in front of the Martial Temple.
In the carriage, Princess Ji opened the box next to her and looked at the antlers made of sapphire. She stretched out her hand and stroked it gently for a moment to make sure that the gift was of sufficient weight before nodding.
The two maids got out of the car and walked towards the headquarters of the Zhenmo Division.
Liu Kun had just finished his day's work and rubbed his sore wrists when he heard a gentle voice coming from the front of the cabinet.
“Princess Ji is here to visit, please help me spread the word.”
Hearing this, Liu Kun raised his head in confusion: "Who are you visiting?"
A princess of the dignitarian, still the princess Ji, who was fierce, went to the Chief of the Zhen Magic Division.
“Can I still visit you?”
One of the younger maids glanced around and frowned when she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.
The older one patted her arm and said warmly: "The princess personally came to congratulate the newly appointed Lord Shen. She and Lord Shen are old acquaintances."
Another old acquaintance?
Liu Kun inexplicably thought of Jiang He in the early morning. As Princess Ji, she should not be too boastful.
It's just... If we were really close old friends, why would we come to this place to ask a sergeant from the Demon Suppression Division?
Coupled with the reputation of the princess, tsk, do you really think you are a stupid pig?
He shook his head and said politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen is not here. Please go back."
The young maid was startled for a moment, then her expression changed and she said coldly: "Where has Mr. Shen gone?"
Listen to the tone of this question.
Liu Kun raised his eyebrows, stood up slowly, and looked down at the two maids.
Hushly, he closed the booklet with a playful sarcasm on his lips: "Heh."
The slaves of the two royal palaces actually inquired about the whereabouts of the patrol envoy. When Princess Ji came to ask in person, she could only get a blank look.
The Inspector of the Demon Suppression Department investigates evil spirits and evil spirits of aristocratic families and sects.
Among them, Princess Ji, who was born in Xuanguangdong, is the most conspicuous one.
This matter has become so funny that it is like a bandit asking about the whereabouts of the head catcher.
…”
The two maids were swept by the ridiculing eyes.
Suddenly it occurred to me that this was a demon-suppressing department that was independent of the court, and did not follow the rules of the royal palace.
“Liu has a low status and does not dare to reveal information about Lord Shen at will.”
Liu Kun packed up his things and walked out of the Yamen. He said casually: "If there is a need, I will inform you when Mr. Shen comes back. If it is really urgent, you two can wait outside. As for how many days, I will wait. Not sure anymore.”
"you!"
The young maid watched him walking away with wide eyes. She wanted to curse angrily, but was grabbed by another maid.
The two of them quickly returned to the carriage and stood by the curtain to report softly.
“Not there?”
Princess Ji opened the curtain of the car, her eyes calm.
She looked at the towering martial arts temple and was silent for a long time, with a meaningful smile on her lips: "Let me wait?" She put down the car curtain.
Princess Ji's face suddenly looked gloomy.
A disciple who has just joined the martial arts temple has not learned the exercises and is not in the yamen. Could it be that he went out for an outing? You are fooling ghosts with these words! It was obvious that he had said hello in advance but did not see him.
It doesn't matter.
Aren’t you just a martial arts disciple? What’s so great about him?
I really thought he was some kind of big shot.
She adjusted her rapid breathing, but after a moment, she still lost her temper and smashed the jade antlers with her hand: "It's too much to bully others!"
…
Above a certain official road in Daqian Dynasty.
The black-scaled demon horse galloped with extraordinary grace, turning into a stream of light and passing by, like the evil dragon soaring.
Zhang Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead: "It's broken!"
Shen Yi grabbed the reins and looked back: "What's wrong?"
“Sir Shen, I forgot to accept the reward for my colleague because of my humble position...”
Zhang Xuan was dressed in cold mysterious armor, but could not show off any domineering look. He looked like an old farmer who had been bent down by life.
“It’s okay, come back and get them together.” Shen Yi looked back and continued to ride her horse.
"Come back?" Zhang Xuan found that what the inspector said was always confusing, and the same was true for his work, just like he had left the imperial city inexplicably now.
I heard that the other party is from Qingzhou. Do the Demon Suppressors over there talk and act like this?
“Master Shen, I would like to report to you again on the situation in Songzhou.”
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment. Although he had spoken to him three or five times, he still felt uneasy.
Because after Master Shen listened, not only did his face not change at all, but his reply was just a simple nod, which even made him doubt whether the other party had listened.
Those are two demon kings!
"what ever."
Shen Yi didn't care about this. He could just talk if he wanted to. At least it was more interesting than Jiang Yuanhua talking about his apprentice all the time.
He really couldn't understand how the other party praised Jiang Qiulan's beauty from various angles and then forced it into his ears, just like brainwashing.
“…” Zhang Xuan sighed: “Forget it.”
In fact, there is not much to say. Songzhou is the smallest of the nine states, with only eight counties under its rule.
Such a small place, but it attracted the attention of the two demon kings.
The entire Songzhou Demon Suppression Division and Demon Catchers have actually only done one thing in the past two hundred years.
That is to try his best to provoke a dispute between the two demon kings.
From designing to frame their wives, children and subordinates, to deliberately releasing the news of the treasure, causing a fight between the two kings, and spreading rumors about which one is stronger... He did everything he could to finally make the two kings fight. A life-and-death feud was formed.
Even so, Songzhou also paid a heavy price.
Out of eight counties, four counties were lost.
These four counties are now under the jurisdiction of one demon king, and another demon king is guarding outside Songzhou.
Present a situation in which the three legs restrict each other.
Songzhou General Soldier lost half of the city, the power of incense was insufficient, and even the realm of Wuxian was about to be unable to maintain.
But what really breaks this balance…
The one-horned demon king outside Songzhou is about to expire, and all the demon kings under his command are also dead. The remaining demon kings are scattered, and they are no longer able to compete with the other demon king.
“The demon king wants to use the power of incense and vows to build a temple and become a god... If it is allowed to occupy Songzhou, no one can stop it unless the **** transformation realm takes action.”
Zhang Xuan sighed.
Who can become a great general who suppresses demons? Who was not heroic and passionate when he was young, and vowed to achieve great things?
Have you ever thought about using the power of demons to resist demons?
Even the death of a demon king will give you an extremely headache.
Become a god?
Shen Yi frowned slightly.
He has encountered this kind of thing before. The river demon in Shuiyun Township had this idea in mind and proclaimed himself the river god.
But Potian only relied on the favorable location to occupy an inconspicuous township, and even the county seat did not buy its account.
And this demon king in Songzhou actually occupied four entire counties.
These incense and vows are almost enough to support a Martial Immortal.
“Will the people believe it?”
At the beginning, the river demon was caused by the Yangchun River, and the villagers relied on the Yangchun River for food.
What can a demon king do for the people of the four counties?
"If you don't believe it, you will die. You have to believe it."
Zhang Xuan closed his eyes. The so-called giving of kindness and power at the same time is actually not the case. As long as the power is used to the extreme, kindness is not important.
In that **** on earth, being able to survive is the greatest blessing.
“Sir Shen, more than half of Songzhou’s demon-suppressing generals have been killed or wounded, and we can’t even protect the last four counties.”
It’s more of a cry than a plea for help.
Zhang Xuan is not complaining. He still has the opportunity to go to Beijing and chat here. Compared with the people in the four counties, this pressure in his heart seems so insignificant.
He really wanted Master Shen to understand the seriousness of this matter.
The other party has just entered the Martial Temple, and has not lived for a long time like other Martial Temple disciples. He no longer regards himself as a mortal, and always looks down on Kyushu from a high position.
In his eyes, the loss of lives is just the number lost after defeat.
can be made up for.
If the Wu Temple is willing to put down its dignity and seek help from the Immortal Sect, perhaps many disasters can be avoided.
The strength is no longer enough, so why bother to pursue the dream of re-emergence and maintain the nominal tripartite alliance in a shabby way.
Even if Xuanguangdong is asked to bring back a Hunyuan Grandmaster from Daqian first!
…”
Shen Yi didn't say anything else, but tightened the reins, and the demon horse speeded up again. It didn't turn around and go back to the imperial city, but still headed towards Songzhou.
"well."
Zhang Xuan had no choice but to keep up with him.
I just hope that after witnessing Songzhou’s tragic situation with his own eyes, the other party can say a few kind words for Songzhou in front of the martial arts temple as a disciple.
As the road gets rougher.
A slightly desolate city appeared in front of us, with tattered flags at the city gates and heads piled all over the walls.
“Master Shen, please go around from the right side.”
Zhang Xuan raised his eyes a little ashamed, unable to say the last part of the sentence.
The people from the dignified Demon Division returned to Songzhou.
How ridiculous it is to say that you have to avoid the demon's territory first.
…”
Shen Yi held on to the reins and calmly looked at the city wall in the distance.
He closed his eyes.
The next moment, a Yin Shen surrounded by auspicious clouds quietly stood in the air, like an immortal coming to the world.
Yin Shen's face was indifferent, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
Mrs. Qinghua didn’t know what was ahead, and she wasn’t interested in knowing.
She only knew that when her master called her out, she would start a killing spree.
So what if there is a demon king inside.
, It’s not like I haven’t killed him before.
