Chapter 384 Leisure
Li Chuan was deeply impressed by Zhang Xintong’s words about Commander Wu. He seemed to be completely unwilling to have anything to do with Qin Tianjian and the general. 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 of Xuanshui Mountain is gone, and there are two left. The scorpion spirit of Ziyun Cave in Fenghe Forest is still there. There is the monkey demon in Lanshan Pavilion. It is said that the scorpion spirit in Ziyun Cave is very vicious. It catches several people every month and eats them. The surrounding villages are not immune to the disaster. It seems that the monkey demon does not like to eat people. "
"Hey, all this information I have is from more than 20 years ago. I don't know what is happening to the scorpion spirit and the monkey demon now."
"This. I'll go ask around. Maybe someone in the Monster Hunting Department knows what's going on with 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 let the people in the clan, who can avoid other places, do so first, otherwise we will wait. After a long time, it might be difficult to move again."
Li Chuan did not answer.
He does know where the demon slaying will probably start, but he doesn't want 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 the idea of settling the matter again."
"Didn't Prince Su be 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 towards Li Chuan and said, “Prince Su’s concubines and children are still under house arrest in the old palace. It was said before that they were under house arrest, but they were not allowed to They were just going out. Now, I heard the news that someone has taken the princess's jewelry and sold it."
Zhang Xintong refused to treat Li Chuan as an outsider and said, "Prince Xuan Yuan was really harmed by a monster. Damn it, 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."
Li Chuan didn't want to hear any more, so he asked: " How are you feeling recently? Have you remembered all the words you forgot before? ”
"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. "
"What about the others?" Li Chuan asked.
"Others?" Zhang Xintong said: "Oh, my little daughter, she, she is a woman, and lack of talent is virtue. Maybe it will be better for her to be so stupid now. I have been worried about her before. He's too smart and likes to run away. Don't be deceived by some poor boy."
"Where are the other servants?" Li Chuan asked.
"Everything should be fine. I feel no different from before." Zhang Xintong replied nonchalantly. He said: "My eldest daughter has already been engaged, and my younger daughter has not married yet. If you have …”
"No, no," Li Chuan denied sternly and said, "I'm just asking about the situation. After all, you are all treated by me."
Zhang Xintong realized that he had misunderstood, and he hit himself on the head and said : "Look at my pig brain, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
After saying a bunch of apologies, Zhang Xintong left. He said: "I'm going back first. By the way, my nephew has passed by." I'm going back to Jinhong in a few days. If you have something or want to bring someone, just let me know."
"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.
While 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. When Jin Rong arrived, he asked: "Aren't you busy today?"
Jin Rong said: "The most hectic period has passed, and then it's just a matter of routine. I came back from Xuanyan Mountain, and now I can't do anything when I go to Qintian Prison, so I just gave myself a half-day holiday."
< br>He asked: "That Mr. Zhang is here again?"
"He brought some sausages," Li Chuan said, holding up the oil paper bag in his hand: "After treating him for the apathy disorder, When he hears some news, he will come over and tell me. Although he will try to get some news from me, he doesn’t care if I don’t tell him.”
Li Chuan said for his fellow countryman. To be fair, "Although he and I can't really talk together, he is actually pretty good."
"That's true." 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 and they make you feel energetic. 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 over there in 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'll have to check it out 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 laughed loudly and said, "You are possessed by my Junior Brother? How many things have you done after being arrested?”
“Too many,” Li Chuan said with lingering fear, “And at that time, I might still be in Yashan County...”
He suddenly They 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?"
