When the devil

[Xiaoxue in the 36th year of the Zhao calendar]

Jinchuan City is located in the southwest of Zhao Kingdom. In winter, the climate is humid, and the smog will not dissipate until noon. The sky is gray, and the sun is shining through the clouds. It's not very comfortable.

Mochi went to several drugstores, but they couldn’t buy the medicinal materials they wanted to buy. People on the street said that the commercial roads outside Jinchuan City were broken these days, and those outside could not be brought in, and those inside could not be delivered. The reason, no one can say why.

He had no choice but to return to the Huajiang Pavilion in despair. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wei Ling wearing a light-colored crane cloak, holding a hand stove in his hand to keep warm, and Zi Wan'er standing in front of the door, who was shorter than him On the upper part, he raised his head when he spoke, and swayed around, and the hairpin pendant on his hair also swayed.

"Master, the pharmacy is out of stock, only part of the stock is available." Mo Chi trotted over and handed him the crumpled note.

Wei Ling took the note, and the little apprentice's fingertips were cold: "Murong is mostly injured, and he can always recover after a few days of recuperation."

Mochi nodded, thinking about it carefully, Murong Chenhao is a man who practiced martial arts, he can scald off serious injuries to stop bleeding by himself, but when he gets to Mochi's heart, he becomes a delicate and weak dying man, who can be broken by every bump.

"Let's make do with it first, it's better than nothing." Mochi said.

"You are stupid, the medicine can't be used." Zi Wan'er jumped up and snatched the note in his hand: "You didn't even buy safflower and nuxon, so you wouldn't use the money to secretly buy meat buns, would you?" .”

"I, even if I buy meat buns, I won't just buy one, I will definitely buy one for Master!" Mochi was unhappy: "You can buy medicinal materials if you want, I will call you sister."

"There must be a stockpile in the pharmacy, and you don't want to give it to you because you don't have much money." Zi Wan'er shook her head and walked away aggressively: "From today onwards, I will be your sister."

"..." Mochi looked at her back: "You can really buy it back, let alone sister, I can call you aunt."

Zi Wan'er shook her hand: "Grandma, I'm too old, my sister is nice, just wait."

It has been several days since Murong Chenhao came back from injury. He has been in a coma. Last night he finally opened his eyes and asked for a sip of water. As a result, Mochi grabbed him and shook him. He passed out again. Mochi and Zi Waner In order to take care of him, he couldn't rest well. One of them had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and he was exhausted. Wei Ling was worried, so he came to see the situation of the two of them.

Of course, he still has another piece of news to tell the two of them, that is, when he woke up this morning to practice his sword, he saw that Murong Chenhao was already able to get out of bed, but before he told Mochi, Mochi was on his way back Seeing Murong Chenhao's figure——

"you!"

When Mochi rushed over, Murong Chenhao was feeding the koi by the lotus pond, when the ink pond came, all the koi ran away, Mochi opened his mouth to scold, Murong Chenhao resolutely stuffed the steamed buns he was going to feed the fish into Mochi .

"You, why are you awake?" Mochi asked while chewing on the steamed buns.

Murong Chenhao didn't look at him, but looked over him to Wei Ling behind him: "My lord."

Wei Ling asked, "Is it better?"

"Small injury, nothing happened."

Perhaps after recovering from his injuries, Murong Chenhao's face was paler than before. He was originally thin and weak, but now he had a sickly air.

"Are you all right?" Mo Chi swallowed the steamed bun.

Murong Chenhao still didn't look at him, and said coldly: "It's nothing."

Mochi said again: "Your body is too weak, your waist is fleshless to the touch, thin, without beating, my uncle can break you with a little force."

He didn't think too much when he spoke, and told the truth, he pinched Wei Ling's waist after he finished speaking, weighed it and said: "I think Master is fine enough."

Wei Ling pushed Mochi's hand away: "It's not big or small."

Mochi knew he was wrong, put his hands away, and then looked at Murong Chenhao's face, neck, and looked into the collar of his clothes for a while, but he couldn't see the traces left by the wound.

"Your injury, why don't you even have a scar? It healed so quickly?"

Murong Chenhao squinted at him: "What I'm best at is changing skins. It's nothing to cover up scars."

Murong Chenhao's skin-changing technique is not to stick a layer of fake skin or apply something. Wei Ling has long realized that the reason why he can change his appearance at will has a lot to do with his black magic. Murong Chenhao has taken the demon pill , and the ability of the demon pill can make him change freely.

But at this price, he bears a greater burden from the demon core than ordinary people.

Wei Ling said, "Do you feel uncomfortable where you were injured by Cheng Yingjie?"

He had heard Mochi talk about his experience that night before, but what Mochi said was simple, Cheng Yingjie chased them, they ran away, and they disappeared, Wei Ling really couldn't hear any useful clues.The only thing that impressed me the most was Murong Chenhao being met by Cheng Yingjie. Based on Wei Ling's understanding of Cheng Yingjie, Murong Chenhao was lucky that he didn't break two bones.

"No problem." Murong Chenhao said: "That day I lied about giving Mochi five steps, Cheng Yingjie was anxious to find the antidote, so he didn't take my life."

Mochi suddenly said, "So you poisoned me that day to save my life?"

"That's right, my gecko cut off its tail, and I left you as a hostage to help me escape." Murong Chenhao said bluntly: "You dragged me on my back and almost drowned in the river with you. I fell into the sewage with all my injuries Bae, if I’m not sick, I’m in good health.”

For some reason, Murong Chenhao changed his usual calm and calm words and became aggressive. Mo Chi was stunned and stunned, and finally picked the most innocuous place to retort: ​​"Your body is still hard, and it's as soft as a snake. .”

Murong Chenhao was tired of talking, so he calmed down a bit, then turned to Wei Ling and said, "My lord, I would like to take a step to talk."

Wei Ling felt that she was redundant, and wanted to find an excuse to sneak away, but Murong Chenhao said this, and walked to the other side of the courtyard without waiting for his response.

It looked like he was running away from someone.

Wei Ling had no choice but to let him go, and Mochi also followed him unconsciously. In the end, the three of them just moved from the side of the lotus pond to the gazebo. Xia Zhou was lying down and sleeping late in the pavilion. He only opened one eye when he saw someone approaching. looked at them lazily.

Murong Chenhao arranged for his servants to bring paper, pen and ink, and began to draw without saying a word. His manner was gentle and elegant, and he was extremely particular about how to start and finish. In a short while, a map was drawn on the paper. , neatly.

"This is the map of Guo Mansion." Murong Chenhao put down his pen.

Mochi's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets: "This is too powerful?! When did you remember?"

"Here—" Murong Chenhao pointed to the piece in the upper right corner: "There is a basement with a lot of collections in it. When Cheng Yingjie came here, it seemed that he wanted to send the contents out of the city overnight."

Xia Zhou sat up and put his two long legs back on the ground from the guardrail: "A Ling, do you remember the last time you asked me to visit Yang Fan's body?"

"Yeah." Wei Ling recalled what Xia Zhou said that day he found something: "What did you find?"

Xia Zhou said: "There are a lot of demon pills hidden, and some things with super powerful magic power, but I just probed casually at that time, and I couldn't see why."

Wei Ling: "How strong is the super strong one?"

Xia Zhou thought about it and said, "Spirit beast level."

He said whatever he wanted, and if he didn't listen carefully, he thought he was boasting about the good weather today. Wei Ling's expression gradually became serious, and he realized something. He was so close to Xia Zhou.

Mochi's face turned pale, and he said in a panic, "No, it can't be...Cang Lin..."

"I can go there again and check it out." Murong Chenhao picked up a pen and drew a circle in the upper right corner.

Mochi thought of something bad, and his chest became more and more dull: "Didn't Master Master say that he would send the things away that day, could it be, could it be..."

"He's always like that, you still call him Shishu?" Murong Chenhao looked over.

Mo Chi said bitterly, "Of course, I'm just an uncle."

Murong Chenhao said: "He wants to kill you."

Mo Chi seemed to be stabbed against Ni Lin, and anger flashed in his eyes: "It is clear that you are going to kill me... Uncle Master forced you to give him the antidote..."

Murong Chenhao sneered: "Okay, I will kill you."

"They really want to send the things away." After Murong Chenhao and Mo Chi finished "arguing", Xia Zhou chose the earliest question to answer: "But it's a step too late, Jinchuan has already closed the city."

Regarding this point, Wei Ling thought about it when he heard Mochi mentioned the medicinal materials in the morning, but...

"Do you think the Guo family is not the one who sealed off the city?" Wei Ling asked.

Xia Zhou stared at the map: "I went to the dark alley yesterday and found that there were many fewer vendors in it. The Guo family has never attacked the dark alley, not to mention closing the business road is tantamount to cutting off their own life. The Guo family blocked Li Yunyun back then. Do that."

Wei Ling thought: "The Guo family has been very quiet in the past few days, and the number of patrolling officers and soldiers in the city has been reduced by half." Suddenly something came to his mind, and he opened his mouth and said, "Someone wants to seal the Guo family."

Xia Zhou was quiet for a moment, then said, "Now the Guo family is not the only big fish in the Jinchuan net."

Wei Ling was slightly startled, then smiled slowly: "That's right."

Who else can block Jinchuan and the Guo family together?I'm afraid that Jinchuan will fall into chaos soon.

Xia Zhou lay down again, leaning against the pillars of the pavilion: "There is one more thing, Ah Ling, you have to be mentally prepared."

"what."

"That big brother of yours might be a bad guy."

Wei Ling touched the hand stove in his arms, seemingly absent-minded, and didn't answer for a long time.

Mo Chi was anxious at the side, he knew he was a little stupid, and he shouldn't interrupt his serious business, but when it came to Cheng Yingjie, he felt very sorry, and he felt aggrieved if he didn't understand what he said: "Master... just know You are a monster, and you want me to be on guard against you."

Xia Zhou said leisurely: "Perhaps he has some concerns about you as a silly apprentice in his heart. After killing Murong Chenhao and coaxing you, he can always coax you back with some old feelings, so that he won't have too much trouble with Wei Ling."

Mo Chi hesitated to speak, he seemed to understand what Xia Zhou said, and his brain ached from hearing it.

"If you can't coax it, you can just kill it." Xia Zhou put his hand on his neck and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Impossible, stop talking nonsense." Mo Chi jumped up.

Xia Zhou chuckled, laughed for a while, and said to Wei Ling: "Chen Hao has drawn the map, if you don't believe me, why don't you go and see what your uncle is worried about being discovered by others."

Mochi was speechless, looking down at the map in a daze.

Murong Chenhao was holding a pen, trying to write the names of every place on the map, from the lobby to the dining hall, bedrooms, and stables, the handwriting was clean and neat.

Wei Ling tilted her head: "What's happening in Guo's residence recently?"

Xia Zhou said: "The Guo family wants to choose a concubine. Although there is a delay, it should be started in the next few days."

After making such a big commotion, and being able to engage in such enjoyable things, Wei Ling only said: "Guo Xianhou is very interested."

"He may not be in a good mood." Xia Zhou said meaningfully: "Jinchuan now has other big shots besides King You, and this matter of choosing a concubine was just taken advantage of by him to make it more suitable for the big shots—you Who doesn’t like beauties? If you are pleasing to the eyes of a big shot, if you send someone to your door, many things can be accomplished.”

In the morning, the scenery is bright and beautiful, and the curtains between the pavilions are swaying.Against these swaying shadows, Wei Ling's figure penetrates the hazy fog like flawless jade.

Xia Zhou smiled lightly, and suppressed the playful emotions in his eyes: "Besides, it's not just beauties who are going to be given away. Now that Jinchuan is closed, the Guo family's possessions are too hot to hold. It's not impossible for him to gamble with flowers and present Buddha."
