I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster - Chapter 797
Late at night, in the wild, in broken temples.
Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and the others, because they temporarily changed their route, missed the post stations and villages where they could stay. They could only find an abandoned temple in the wild and make do with a night’s rest.
Only half of the statue in this ruined temple is left, and it has disappeared from the waist up. I don’t know who tore it down, and I don’t know where it was thrown.
The ruined temple was densely covered with cobwebs and dusty, but Qin Shaoyou and others were already used to it and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
It’s already very good to have a broken temple to shelter from the wind and rain. It’s better than sleeping in the wild, right?
As for beasts and ghosts, others are afraid, but they are not.
Not only is not afraid, but also eager to meet a few, add a late-night working meal.
In particular, Gun Shan Jun, who has been standing at the gate of the broken temple, stared hard at the dark night, hoping that a demon would come to claim his life, so that his good deeds and virtues can be opened.
In the ruined temple, Zhu Xiucai and the others picked up firewood and started a fire.
Everyone took out dry food from their arms, or skewered them with wooden sticks, or carried them with blood, and put them on the fire to bake.
The dry food is naturally not as delicious as Qin Shaoyou’s spiritual food. Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou brought seasonings such as witch salt, yin vinegar, and fresh ghost dew. After the dry food is heated, it can also add flavor and effect. A little comfort.
Of course, Qin Qiaoer and the red-clothed messengers under her command did not find it comforting.
They only felt that the dry food eaten by Qin Shaoyou’s group was so delicious, and even had the effect of improving their cultivation, so they should not be too extravagant.
“Sister, here it is.”
Qin Shaoyou smeared the baked naan with a layer of ghost dew, then sprinkled some witch salt, handed it to Qin Qiaoer, and took the naan that was being baked in her hand. What are you going to do on the front line of Qingtang?”
On the road before, Qin Shaoyou felt that it was not the time to ask questions, so he held back and did not ask.
Until this moment, Cui Youkui and the others had set up corresponding organs and magic circles around the broken temple, and Qin Shaoyou just asked about the purpose of this trip to the front line of Qingtang.
“There are two main tasks.”
Qin Qiao’er took a bite of the naan and felt that it tasted good, and her eyes suddenly flashed a bit of surprise.
While eating the naan, she replied: “The first task is to investigate how the Qingtang barbarians and wizards got past the frontline defenses and slipped into Yizhou. The investigation is within the frontline military, Is there any traitor who was bought by Qingtang… According to the paper crane talisman, the fact that Qingtang barbarians and wizards formed an established system to sneak into Yizhou has been known by the emperor and court officials. The emperor was very angry, and it was rare After a court, he scolded the Minister of War, and not only ordered to reprimand Dongchuanhou on the spot, but also ordered my Demon Suppression Division to investigate the matter!”
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said: “This matter has indeed had a bad impact, and even almost shook the country’s capital. It really should be thoroughly investigated… The Demon Suppression Division on the front line is suspected?”
There is a Demon Suppression Division on the front line of Qingtang. Normally they should investigate this matter, but now they have sent two teams of red-clothed messengers directly, so Qin Shaoyou asked this question.
Qin Qiaoer said in a low voice, “The Demon Suppression Division over there has been cooperating with the military all the year round and has a close relationship, so it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t help cover up. And recently, not only have Qingtang sentries and wizards been making troubles on the front line, but also The beasts and demons who ran away smelling the smell of blood. The Demon Suppression Division over there has to deal with these situations, and their manpower is already stretched thin. They have been asking for support from Yizhou Town Demon Division and the headquarters of the Jingcheng Town Demon Division, but they really can’t be dispatched. Extra manpower to investigate this matter.”
Qin Shaoyou nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked, “What is the second task?”
“Find a way to sneak into the Qingtang and see what’s going on there.”
When Qin Qiaoer said this, she raised her head and looked directly at Qin Shaoyou.
“After learning the news that King Qingtang was dead, the imperial court asked eminent monks to do divination, and it turned out that King Qingtang was still alive, and his fate was not exhausted.”
“King Qingtang is still alive?”
This news made Qin Shaoyou stunned for a moment. He frowned and said, “Is that Qingtang wizard lying? It shouldn’t be. I didn’t see any trace of lying in him.”
Qin Qiaoer said: “I didn’t find any signs of lying on the Qingtang wizard. It is very likely that he did not lie. People from all tribes in Qingtang thought that the old Qingtang king was dead, but in fact, The old Qingtang King is still alive.”
“If so, then there are several possibilities…”
Qin Shaoyou removed the naan from the fire, smeared ghost dew on it, and thought: “Or, this is a play played by King Qingtang, using false news that he was killed to start a war. But he The prestige of the various tribes in Qingtang, I don’t think this is necessary, right? Even pretending to be seriously injured is better than pretending to be dead.”
Qin Qiaoer agreed with Qin Shaoyou’s judgment, and said, “Go ahead, what else could it be?”
“Or, as we guessed, the son of King Qingtang couldn’t wait. He was persuaded to see the monk tomorrow and attacked King Qingtang, but he didn’t kill him completely and let him survive. He’s hiding somewhere to heal…”
“I can’t rule out the possibility. But if King Qingtang is not dead, why didn’t the son who killed his father go after him with all his strength, but came to attack me, Daxia?”
When Qin Qiaoer said this, she has a judgment of her own.
“Could it be that King Qingtang ran into my Daxia territory, so that father-killing son started a war with Daxia, and wanted to find King Qingtang and kill him so as to avoid future troubles? Or, is it that? The son who killed his father, did not know that King Qingtang was alive. He attacked Daxia, as we guessed before, in order to gain power for himself and eradicate dissidents? If this is the case, we have found Qingtang who is still alive. King, maybe you can make Qingtang stop fighting and retreat.”
Qin Shaoyou took a bite of the naan and said while eating, “I think so too. Although these two possibilities are relatively low, it does not mean that it will not happen. After all, in this world, no matter how outrageous and illogical things are. , have appeared.”
Qin Qiaoer didn’t echo his feelings, but just asked: “King Qingtang is not dead, is there any other possibility?”
“There is one more.”
Qin Shaoyou narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “It wasn’t the son of King Qingtang who killed his father, but King Qingtang who killed his own son, performed sorcery, occupied magpie nests, and turned himself from a father into a son…”
This guess is even more outrageous, but considering the participation of the monk tomorrow, Qin Shaoyou feels that even if it is outrageous, it is not impossible.
According to the latest information, King Qingtang is not as judged by the Demon Suppression Division in the past. Because of his old age, he indulges in pleasure and does not want to make progress.
He has been secretly accumulating strength, and has never given up the idea and desire to invade the Great Xia Dynasty.
It’s just that he is really too old, and he was injured a lot in the battlefield when he was young.
These injuries began to erupt with age, causing him to suffer even if his cultivation was not low.
Under such circumstances, seeing the monk find him tomorrow, and put forward a plan to occupy the magpie’s nest, King Qingtang might not be moved.
Even if the magpie nest to occupy is his son.
Qin Qiao’er was frightened by her brother’s guess, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible.
The son of Emperor Jianwu can die inexplicably; the prince of the King of Shu can test medicine and become a zombie… Then the King of Qingtang takes a son who is in his prime to occupy the magpie’s nest and let himself ‘regain his youth’. What is impossible?
“call……”
Qin Qiao’er let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that this trip to Qingtang is more complicated and dangerous than expected!
