ninety thousand miles

Chapter 384 Leisure
Li Chuan was deeply impressed by Zhang Xintong's description of Commander Wu. He seemed completely unwilling to have anything to do with Qin Tianjian and the general's people. As soon as people came from both sides, he would go to the county town below to inspect, and his attitude was very clear.

Zhang Xintong said: "As for Chao Bingjun, there were originally three great demons. The most powerful black-horned king from Xuanshui Mountain is gone. There are only two left, the scorpion spirit from Ziyun Cave in Fenghe Forest and the monkey from Lanshan Pavilion. Monster. The scorpion spirit in Ziyun Cave is said to be very vicious. It kills several people every month, and all the surrounding villages suffer. It seems that the monkey monster doesn't like to eat people. "

"Hey, all this information I have is from more than 20 years ago. I don't know what happened to the scorpion spirit and the monkey monster now."

"I'll go ask around. Maybe someone in the Monster Hunting Department knows the recent situation of these two big monsters," Li Chuan said.

"Sorry to trouble you." Zhang Xintong said, as if he was sure that His Majesty would launch a demon slaying in Chaobing County. He said, "I plan to ask everyone in the clan who can avoid other places to do so first, otherwise we will wait. After a long time, it may become difficult to move if you want to.”

Li Chuan didn't answer.

He did know where the demon slaying would probably begin, but he wasn't going to tell anyone.

He supports the suppression of demons in his heart. What does it mean if a good human dynasty is taken over by a big demon and is in pieces? He hinted to Zhang Xintong today, and Zhang Xintong will tell others tomorrow. If the news continues like this, the big demon may know the news before the soldiers receive the order.

Then why fight?

Zhang Xintong saw Li Chuan's attitude, so he changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty seems to have let go of people from Prince Su's lineage, but the officials who were close to Prince Su before were still trembling with fear for fear that one day , Your Majesty has another idea to liquidate."

"Wasn't Prince Su killed by a monster? Your Majesty has made a conclusion. What do they have to be afraid of?" Li Chuan said.

"You are still pretending to be stupid with me," Zhang Xintong leaned a little closer to Li Chuan and said, "Prince Su's princess and children are still under house arrest in the old palace. It was said that they were under house arrest before, but they were not allowed to go out. Now , I heard the news that someone has taken the princess’s jewelry and sold it.”

"Not yet," Zhang Xintong frowned when he mentioned this. He said, "I secretly invited a teacher to stay at home. When I got home every day, I started tutoring until late at night. When I took the exam, I , I don’t take it seriously now. I was young at that time and had a good mind. I could remember almost any book after reading it once. Unlike now, I have to remember a few words for several days and try my best to hide them so as not to show fear to my colleagues. "

"No, no," Li Chuan denied sternly and said, "I'm just asking about the situation. After all, I'm the one treating you."

Zhang Xintong refused to treat Li Chuan as an outsider and said, "Prince Xuan Yuan was really killed by a monster. Your Majesty should give preferential treatment to his descendants, right? I think your Majesty is like this. She still wants to be the emperor for another fifty years."

"Others?" Zhang Xintong said: "Oh, my little daughter, she, she is a woman, lack of talent is a virtue, and now she is so stupid, maybe it will be better. I have always been worried that she is too smart and likes to go out. Run, don’t let that poor boy fool you.”

"Everything should be fine. I feel that there is no difference from before." Zhang Xintong replied nonchalantly. He said: "My eldest daughter has already been engaged, and my younger daughter has not yet married. If you have..."

Li Chuan didn't want to listen anymore, so he asked, "How are you feeling recently? Have you remembered all the words you forgot before?"

Zhang Xintong realized that he had misunderstood. He hit himself on the head and said, "Look at my pig brain. I can't help but I can't help."

"What about the others?" Li Chuan asked.

"Where are the other servants?" Li Chuan asked.

After saying a bunch of apologies, Zhang Xintong left. He said, "I'm going back first. By the way, my nephew will go back to Jinhong in a few days. If you have something or want to bring a message to someone, tell me." Just one word.”

"I understand." Li Chuan said.

After Zhang Xintong left, Li Chuan also walked out. After walking to the stone bench where he usually sat, he sat down, took out "The Great Demon Collection" from the Bishui Ring, and read it carefully. Indeed, as Zhang Xintong said, the scorpion spirit from Ziyun Cave and the monkey monster from Lanshan Pavilion still occupy large areas of mountains, forests and fields. Those fields, probably just like the fields around Xuanshui Mountain, were all deserted.

I don’t know what the situation in Xuanshui Mountain is now.

Li Chuan's thoughts gradually dispersed, and waves of sleepiness hit his heart. The sun was not too hot now. He stood up and planned to go back to his room to take a nap and get up again during dinner.

When walking through the winding corridor, I saw Jin Rong coming from the other side with a fan in his hand.

Li Chuan couldn't help but glance at the sky, it was almost past midnight. After Jin Rong arrived, he asked, "Aren't you busy today?"

Jin Rong said: "The most hectic period is over, and then everything goes as planned. I came back from Xuanyan Mountain, and now I can't do much when I go to Qintian Prison, so I just gave myself a half-day off."

He asked: "Is that Master Zhang here again?"

"He brought some sausages," Li Chuan said, holding up the oil-paper bag in his hand. "After treating him for his apathy, when he hears some news, he will run over and tell me. Although he will also try to get information from me. He asked for some information, but I didn’t tell him and he didn’t care.”

Li Chuan said something fair for his fellow countryman, "Although he and I can't really talk together, he is actually pretty good."

"Indeed." Jin Rong said.

The two walked slowly and finally sat down in the pavilion. After a while, someone brought tea and snacks.

"How about those two magpies?" Jin Rong asked.

"It's pretty good." Li Chuan obviously liked the pair of magpies very much. "They are chirping, which makes them lively. By the way, I haven't seen Mr. Chang for a long time. How are you doing over there, General?"

Jin Rong said: "He is also from Xuanyan Mountain. After all, he was taught by the general. He has fought in battles and made meritorious deeds. He has not done anything special. The soldiers just obey him."

"Then I have to go and see it next time." A smile appeared on Li Chuan's face, "It will take a while, when I feel better."

"When the demon slaying begins, do you want to lead the troops as well?" Jin Rong asked.

Li Chuan glanced at him in horror and said, "You are not possessed by Junior Brother Qin San, are you?"

Jin Rong burst out laughing and said, "How many things have you been arrested by my junior brother to do?"

"Too many," Li Chuan said with lingering fear, "and at that time, I might still be in Yashan County..."

He suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Guying striding towards them from outside, the huge ruby ​​on the hilt of the sword at his waist shining with crimson light.

Wen Guying walked into the pavilion and after greeting Jin Rong, he said, "Brother Li, I have just practiced a spell. Do you want to give it a try?"
