The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 827 I want it

Whenever she mentioned Li Yan, Princess Zhaohe, her tone was always very indifferent.

In the midst of the indifference, there is a hint of unhappiness hidden in the air.

Li Yan was the eldest daughter of Empress Xianyuan Meng and the first child of the Emperor and Empress. She was therefore the most precious treasure in the Emperor's heart and was favored by him. Not only did the Emperor dislike Li Yan, but Empress Lu, who replaced her mother as the head of the imperial palace, was even more annoyed with Li Yan.

It's just that both she and the Empress are only good at putting on a show.

At least in front of Li Yan, the Emperor, or some clan members, they acted very properly and no one could find any fault with them.

It was already past noon when Huang Jing was brought to Ming Xiao Tang by a maid. She had just returned from outside. "I had another fight with Lan Zhijin! It was a draw again. I heard you were looking for me? Is there something?"

Meng Shisan nodded and motioned Huang Jing to sit down and talk.

Huang Jing sat down under Meng Shisan: "Are you thinking of talking about the Eighteen Scholars?"

"I want it." Meng Shisan announced concisely and firmly.

Huang Jing was suddenly shocked: "Ah? What do you want it for?"

"You want to put it in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, while Master Lan wants to beat it to pieces. But I want it because it helped me, and I promised to keep it." Meng Shisan said truthfully.

"How did it help you?" Huang Jing asked.

"It helped me save a water snake." After Meng Shisan returned home, he gave the water snake to Chang'an for treatment. It is still in Chang'an's house, but it will be released after it is cured. Huang Jing will not be able to hide it at that time, so he took this opportunity to make it clear, "In exchange, I will keep it free."

"Water snake? Is it a demon too?" Ever since Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin were fighting for the right to deal with Shancha, and Meng Shisan saw it and jumped over them to grab Shancha, the distance between her and Meng Shisan seemed to have shortened, and she was more honest and direct in her words. "Where is it?"

After three questions in a row, Meng Shisan did not hesitate to answer: "It is also a monster, seriously injured, and Changan is treating Xiaoqing now."

"Xiao Qing?"

"Yu Xiaoqing."

Huang Jing opened her mouth and looked into the hall, and saw that even Shangchun was not waiting by the side. When she came in, she saw that there was no one in the corridor outside the hall. At this moment, she finally realized that Meng Shisan came to her after noon and waited for her to talk, and he had already prepared a speech!

She asked again, "The Eighteen Scholars have three hundred years of practice. It would not be easy for Lan Zhijin and I to subdue it alone. After we joined forces to subdue it, we had a disagreement over its ownership, and then we fought for the right to dispose of it as usual. So how many years of practice does the water snake... this snake demon named Yu Xiaoqing have?"

She asked the last sentence very carefully.

With more than three hundred years of cultivation, neither she nor Lan Zhijin can deal with him.

This is also the reason why Meng Shisan, after knowing Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin's abilities in subduing demons and hunting monsters, still promised Huang Jing to live in her courtyard and did not regard Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin as enemies.

After all, although Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin are descendants of demon exorcists and monster hunters, they are indeed a little weak.

Among mortals, the two were not weak, but strong. However, among demons, they were not strong. Fortunately, it was very difficult for a demon to appear in this world, and there were even fewer demons in the mortal world. Otherwise, with their abilities, they might be eaten alive by a big demon one day.

"Six hundred years." Meng Shisan gave the answer. Seeing Huang Jing's mouth opened even wider in shock, she comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiaoqing won't hurt anyone on her own initiative."

That is to say, it will hurt people passively!

At this moment, Huang Jing didn't even have the mood to see what a snake demon with six hundred years of cultivation looked like. She asked in a slightly dejected tone, "You told me all this just because you want the Eighteen Scholars?"

"Of course." Besides, Meng Shisan also wanted to intimidate Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin, "I'll have to trouble you to tell Mage Lan."

Huang Jing heard Meng Shisan's tone, which indicated that he had already decided to just inform her. She didn't even bother to respond, but just nodded, and nodded again.

Before dusk, Lan Zhijin heard what Huang Jing had told him about Meng Shisan's words, and he remained silent for a long time.

When Huang Jing was about to leave the inn, the thought that had been lingering in his mind for more than two quarters of an hour finally came to a conclusion: "I want to leave Beijing for the time being and go to Jinling."

"Why are you going to Jinling?" Huang Jing looked Lan Zhijin up and down. "Are you scared when you hear that there are even demons with six hundred years of cultivation? Do you want to stay away from this dangerous place under the emperor's feet?"

"Who do you think I am?" Lan Zhijin said angrily. "No matter how powerful the snake demon is, if we don't provoke it, it generally won't take the initiative to hurt us. Why should I be afraid of it? And why should I stay away from the capital because of it!"

Huang Jing frowned: "What do you mean?"

"You were keeping an eye on Miss Meng in the Meng Mansion, and I was not idle outside the Meng Mansion either. I investigated a lot of things about Miss Meng. Many of the rumors were true and false, but there is one thing that I think should be investigated, at least to verify whether it is true or not." Lan Zhijin went to Jinling for business.

"Which point?" Huang Jing asked.

Lan Zhijin didn't quite understand at the moment, so he could only vaguely say, "Have you ever heard that Miss Meng has a thirteenth aunt?"

Huang Jing nodded, "I've heard of it. It's said that she was a close friend of Miss Meng's biological mother. The two of them had a lot of interactions in the boudoir and could talk about anything. Later, Zeng married into the Meng family, while Meng Shisan has been in Nanjing."

Lan Zhijin corrected him, "No, Meng Shisan did come to the capital, and even provoked the seventh son of the Cui family in Qinghe!"

"You mean Mr. Cui Qi?" Huang Jing suddenly realized, "The rumor is that Mr. Cui Qi's sweetheart is Miss Meng's 13th Aunt. Is this rumor true? Are you sure?"

"Really? I'm sure." Lan Zhijin was sure of this because he had asked Jin Baixi of Quexian Tower in a roundabout way. Cui Yu had never concealed anything, he just never said it. Now that it had been revealed, Cui Yu had admitted it, and Jin Baixi would naturally not deny it if anyone asked him about it.

So he was sure.

Huang Jing asked again with great interest: "Do you have any of Meng Shisan's paintings?"

"There is no portrait." Lan Zhijin was not yet good enough to get Meng Shisan's painting from Jin Baixi, "but Shopkeeper Jin said that when Meng Shisan left the capital seventeen years ago, he said he was going back to Jinling."

"For this reason, Mr. Cui Qi has traveled back and forth between the capital and Nanjing countless times over the past ten years, but he still hasn't found Meng Shisan." Huang Jing has heard a lot of rumors about Cui Yu's unmarried status, so he knows a lot. "You want to go to Nanjing to find someone now. Do you think you are more capable than Mr. Cui Qi in finding someone?"
