My wife is not a demon

"Master Chen, don't worry, since my brothers agree to go to the Valley of Destiny with you, they will definitely not break their word."

Calabash's second son said in a deep voice.

The others nodded.

Chen Mu glanced at Shao Si Ming who was guarding the door, and asked the second child of Calabash, "Now tell me, what exactly are you looking for?"

"This one……"

Hulu's second child looked slightly stiff, looking embarrassed.

"What? You still don't trust me?" Chen Mu sneered and glanced at the other gourd monsters. "None of you want to say?"

Hulu Lao Wu quickly shook his head and forced an ugly smile: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just...just this..." After stammering for a long time, Lao Wu couldn't explain why, so he could only smile in embarrassment.

He glanced at the other brothers, and everyone lowered their heads, unwilling to speak.

Although everyone chose to trust Chen Mu, the seven brothers were quite resistant to asking them to confess Princess Xue'er.

They are not willing to put Princess Xue'er in danger.

One must know that Princess Xue'er is still a 'fugitive' of the Pisces Kingdom, once the Yan court finds out, it is very likely that she will be sent back to the Pisces Kingdom.

Without their protection at that time, it would be too late.

After waiting for a long time but no one spoke, Chen Mu chuckled: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I can't open your heads to spy, besides, we are only a cooperative relationship at present. But now the seven of you are here, and some of you are here. Time to consider whether to tell me."

"actually……"

Hulu's second child struggled for a while, and finally spoke. "Actually, we're looking for a key."

"Key?" Chen Mu frowned.

Calabash No. [-] nodded slightly and said, "This key is very important to us, it can help us rescue Grandpa. As for what the key does, I'm sorry, we can't tell you that."

"But the question is, why did you go to my woman's house to find the key?"

Chen Mu was very puzzled.

Hulu Er Er said: "The clue we got, this key is there, there is absolutely no mistake."

"Where did the clue come from?"

"can not say."

"..."

Chen Mu was speechless.

If you don't need these guys, I really want to give everyone a mallet.

However, due to his keen intuition in investigating cases all the year round, Chen Mu guessed that the seven brothers might have chosen to conceal it so strongly in order to protect one person.

And the clue of the key is probably provided by that person.

Who could this person be?

You must know that the gourd seven demons have been escaping from hunting all these years, so it is impossible for them to have any friends, and it is difficult for anyone to help them.

Chen Mu thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

But vaguely, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked some important information, and it was difficult to recall it for a while.

"Forget it, don't say it, don't say it."

Chen Mu didn't bother to continue to ask, walked to the door and gently hugged Shao Siming, and said lightly: "I will ask Hei Ling to make arrangements to set off for the Destiny Valley tonight."

"Damn!!"

In Fengyuan Palace, the memorials and secret letters on the desk were thrown on the ground.

The empress dowager, who was dressed in a golden phoenix robe, had a delicate face, and the beads on the phoenix crown on her head shook slightly because of anger.

The maids and eunuchs in the hall all knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

Originally, the queen mother seemed to be in a good mood these two days, but just after receiving a secret letter from the dark guard, she suddenly started a fire.

They have rarely seen the Queen Mother so angry.

The last time there was such a rage, many officials had their heads dropped, and everyone felt uneasy.

"Get out!" The Queen Mother said coldly.

The eunuchs and maids left the hall one after another as if they were granted amnesty, and closed the door of the hall by the way.

She left alone the female officer who served the queen mother on weekdays.

The light in the hall dimmed, but the lighting beads on the walls on both sides automatically lit up slightly, intertwined like daytime.

"What the hell is this Gu Jianling doing!"

The empress dowager patted the table with her chest fluctuating, "At this time, I have to show my position and let the whole world know that he is standing on the opposite side of Chen Mu. What is he thinking? He is warning Aijia ?"

The shadow guard Xiaoying, who showed his figure, watched silently, without any consolation.

She understood the empress dowager's anger.

The previous Dongzhou City incident made the Queen Mother lose some face.

After all, Du Biwu, the prefect of Dongzhou, was the one she had tried to protect at the beginning, but in the end he became a rebel from the Heaven and Earth Society. This has become a black spot for many officials to criticize the Queen Mother.

Although everyone understands that Du Biwu has been serving as the governor of Dongzhou, it is the court's helpless move.

But the queen mother, as the actual person in power, should take up this responsibility.

Secondly, the empress dowager also has to take responsibility for the Dongzhou massacre incident.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that the massacre of [-] people was ordered by the emperor to cover up some secrets.

But that cannot be said on the surface.

The reason why the emperor "endured his heartache" and ordered the massacre of the people was to prevent the spread of the poison, otherwise it would lead to greater consequences.

So, the little emperor Jimin who was originally an executioner turned out to be a savior hero.

But someone must be responsible for the death of more than 2 people.
