Devil’s Advent

walk at night,

Met a woman hanging from a tree calling for help;

Uncle Zheng has seen this kind of opening a lot. If the demon kings are all around, Uncle Zheng doesn’t mind saving them. He just wants to have some fun when he has nothing to do;

But now, he didn't bother to pay attention.

Also too lazy to bother, there is the princess.

Uncle Zheng didn't believe that the princess's crossbow arrow missed, but he really felt that the princess on his back shot the woman to death without saying a word, which was really beautiful.

Since all your family members were killed by bandits, and you seem to have been insulted by bandits,

You are no longer worthy in the world, and if you survive, you will probably continue to suffer endless pain and nightmares.

Then we'll send you down to reunite with your family.

Amitabha.

However, the development of things always seems to force you to be pulled into it. You obviously had a premonition that it was a pit, and you planned to go around it. Halfway through the circle, you realized that the pit was bigger than you imagined.

The feeling of a woman at this time is completely the image of a ghost.

There are "spirits" in this world, not counting imported items such as magic pills. Even not long ago, Uncle Zheng had seen the regent lead a "spirit" into his body. I got a jade token.

If we want to look more closely, the fact that Sha Tuo Queshi turned into a zombie after death is also a concrete manifestation of this phenomenon.

But the others, no matter what, are very rare, but the one Uncle Zheng encountered now seems a bit cheap.

Uncle Zheng confirmed one thing a long time ago, that is, he is not the Chosen One, otherwise it would be impossible to explain which Chosen One would encounter back arrows and accidents every time he charged into battle;

Therefore, Uncle Zheng didn't think that he could win the jackpot by walking all night with a princess on his back and bump into some big treasure.

When the princess saw the female ghost rushing towards her, she instinctively grabbed Uncle Zheng's shoulder.

At this time, the princess naturally felt that Uncle Zheng was the person she could rely on the most.

When Uncle Zheng grasped his shoulders tightly,

Instinctively shouted:

"Small it!"

At this time, Uncle Zheng naturally felt that his son was the person he could rely on most.

"boom!"

The magic pill galloped out of the princess's sleeve and hit the female ghost directly.

The female ghost fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

But after landing, it suddenly turned into a cloud of green mist and drifted away.

The magic pill is suspended in the air,

The figure begins to manifest,

is the image of a baby.

"Spirit?" the princess exclaimed.

She knew that there was a spirit beside her royal brother, but she didn't expect that there was also one in her husband.

How many secrets are still hidden in him.

but,

What was he shouting just now?

The green mist began to diffuse, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

Mowan was a little puzzled, and looked around, not like searching for the female ghost, but looking for something else.

"Buzz!"

at this time,

There was the sound of an arrow piercing through the air.

"Chirp!!!!!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a high-frequency scream, not a human cry, but something like an animal.

suddenly,

Uncle Zheng only felt that his vision blurred for a while, but soon returned to normal.

The magic pill flew back directly.

In Uncle Zheng's vision, there was a tree in front of him, and there was a rope on the tree, but what was tied to the rope was not a woman, but a weasel, that is, a yellow-skinned man.

Under the tree, there is a circle built together, but the fire inside has been extinguished long ago, and it seems to have been extinguished for a long time.

There was a hole in the yellow leather child, and a crossbow arrow was stuck in the tree, which was obviously the one shot by the princess earlier.

Therefore, it was not a female ghost at all before, but an illusion created by the yellow skin.

No wonder the magic pill hesitated and searched there as soon as it came out. Obviously, the magic pill found something was wrong.

But it seemed that before Magic Wan could make the next move, someone nearby shot an arrow to help break the situation.

Uncle Zheng knew that Huang Pizi seemed to be able to disturb and influence people's minds by releasing some kind of hallucinogenic gas, and the ability of the magic pill was to fight against the soul body, and to enter Zheng Fan's body to fight against the soul. Zheng Fan's strength is a kind of blessing.

And this hallucinogenic gas, in theory, still belongs to the category of "physical reality".

After all, you can't let the magic pill come out and start to learn what Xue San did to develop antidote to help detoxify. His specialty is not this.

"Are we haunted?" the princess said to herself.

There are many monsters in Chu land, of course, compared to the number of people, monsters are extremely rare, but it is not uncommon for such mountain spirits to tease or even harm people.

"Are you all right?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came out in front of him. The man's hair was half white and he held a bow in his hand. It looked like he was almost fifty.

"Thanks to the strong man for saving me." Uncle Zheng thanked him.

Although with the ability of the magic pill, it will take a little more time to find the target and break the current situation, but after all, they helped you.

The man stopped ahead vigilantly and asked:

"Who are you?"

The princess said: "We are fugitives. My father does not allow me to marry a pariah, so I asked him to take me out of the house."

This is in line with the image of the two, and it can be regarded as the most appropriate lie.

The man squinted his eyes, looked at Zheng Fan and the princess for a while, and said: "My name is Jiang Hu, the hunters in this mountain, you were haunted by yellow dogs before, it's just a pity, my previous life Although the arrow hit the yellow dog, it missed the point, so he escaped."

talking,

Jiang Hu looked at Zheng Fan,

road:

"A pariah marrying a noble girl, hehe, you have the courage and courage. Are you running away? Why don't you go to my place to rest for a night?"

"If that's the case, I'll trouble Brother Hu." The princess agreed.

Just like that, Jiang Hu led the way, and Zheng Fan followed behind with the princess on his back.

In fact, Zheng Fan has always wanted to ask why the green python named "Xiaoqing" didn't give a warning in advance?

The magic pill belongs to the soul body and is more sensitive to the soul, but the green python is considered a monster, no matter whether the weasel is called Huang Pizi or Huang Gouzi, since it can confuse people's hearts, it obviously belongs to the category of becoming a spirit.

It stands to reason that the green python should have given an early warning.

But in the end, not only was there no warning, but even if the Orion appeared here, the green python did not respond.

This is very unusual.

However, this is not the time to talk. Generally speaking, Orion's ears are very good.

Jiang Hu brought Zheng Fan and Zheng Fan to a wooden house. He pushed open the door of the wooden house, and a woman's voice came from inside.

"But it's back."

"The yellow dog is making a fuss."

"Really, the mountains have not been peaceful in the past two years, hey, did you bring someone back?"

"It is said to be a fugitive, I will bring it back to rest for a night."

"Okay, I'm going to prepare some food."

Zheng Fan and the princess entered the house and saw a woman busy adding firewood to the stove in the center of the wooden house, set up a pot again, and began to add water to it.

"This is a bitch." Jiang Hu introduced.

Zheng Fan saluted and said, "I've seen my sister-in-law."

The princess also saluted and said, "I have seen Jiang's sister-in-law."

"Hey, why are you so polite? It makes people feel embarrassed. You sit down first, and I'll cook some soup for you."

Jiang Hu motioned Zheng Fan and the princess to sit around the stove and warm up, and then asked:

"Where is this going to escape?"

Without waiting for Uncle Zheng to speak, the princess said directly: "I don't know yet. I thought about going up the mountain to avoid it. Now that I think about it, I might have to go over the mountain and go to Jindi."

"Going to Jin?" Orion was a little surprised, "There is a war there."

The princess nodded and said aggrievedly, "But Chudi, there is no room for the two of us anymore."

Hearing this, Jiang Hu clicked his tongue a little and said: "It seems, hehe, it seems that the background of the siblings is not simple."

Being able to say something that Chudi could not tolerate, proved that the woman's family status is really high, and ordinary Chudi nobles really can't achieve this kind of influence.

"Come on, let me go."

The woman came over, first put some cut bacon into the pot, then put in the wide vermicelli, and finally, covered the pot.

"Thank you Madam Sister-in-law." Zheng Fan smiled.

"It's fate to meet each other. We live in this mountain, and it's rare for us to sit here to eat with many people, and there are no guests."

Jiang Hu nodded with a smile, and then he said again: "To enter Jin from here, you have to walk a long way, the mountain road is not easy to walk, not to mention you have to pass some dense streams."

The best way to go, of course, is Zhennan Pass, but there are many Chu soldiers and scouts at Zhennan Pass, so it is impossible for Uncle Zheng to go there.

However, Zheng Fan didn't answer, but waited for the princess to speak, because from the beginning when the princess introduced herself, Uncle Zheng felt that something was wrong.

The turmoil of Qu's wedding has already been publicized in Chu, because there are too many nobles present, and the impact of the matter is too great, and it is impossible to cover it up even if you want to.

In fact, when Uncle Zheng marched all the way to Zhennanguan in the name of escorting grain and grass, this topic was the most talked about by the surrounding grain merchants who were on the road together every day.

Some people beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling that Da Chu had lost face this time;

Some people take pleasure in other people's misfortunes, and it is very interesting to see Qu's unlucky and deflated;

Some people lamented that if Uncle Hirano from the Yan people hadn't left him in Chu this time, if he had brought the princess back safely, it would be unimaginable that the prestige would add up.

Uncle Zheng often squatted by the side and listened to their chat. They chatted very enthusiastically, and Uncle Zheng listened very enthusiastically.

Maybe, it is only spreading in the area of ​​Chu, and in another ten and a half months, this matter should spread to the land of Yangan.

So, even though Jiang Hu is a hunter and often lives in the mountains, who can guarantee that he never went down the mountain and never heard about it?

If he had heard about it, then according to the princess's self-introduction, the hint was obvious.

However, Uncle Zheng didn't think the princess didn't know this. She was not stupid and sweet, so she had her reasons for speaking like this.

Moreover, Uncle Zheng was not worried that the princess would turn against him. If she wanted to turn against him, she could have done so as early as in the royal garden.

"Yes, so I want to ask Brother Hu to be our guide."

Hearing this, the woman was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect this girl to make such a request.

Zheng Fan noticed the hairpin on the woman's bun;

Although Uncle Zheng has no interest in or concept of these precious jewelry, gold, silver and jade, no matter in his previous life or this life, but he can't stand the improvement of his living conditions after his prosperity, which makes some precious jewelry and accessories have become a common item in the family. s things.

It’s quite like Puyi going to an antique shop: I haven’t studied it systematically, but these are very common in my house.

This hairpin is not cheap, and the material is not ordinary gold and silver.

Coupled with the "proudness" when putting down the vermicelli, Uncle Zheng still had two pieces of vermicelli left there, and the woman didn't pick them up and throw them in again.

Jiang Hu shook his head and said, "Sorry."

This is outright rejected.

Uncle Zheng silently picked up the bowl of water in front of him and took a sip of water. He didn't say anything stupid that I would pay the money. It was obvious that this family didn't lack money, or that they didn't really care about money.

The princess pursed her lips and said, "Is General Gongsun alright?"

Jiang Hu's eyes froze immediately, but the woman backed away in fright and bumped into the table.

Uncle Zheng continued to drink water with a calm demeanor, as if everything was under control, but in fact he didn't even know who General Gongsun was.

Jiang Hu licked his lips and asked, "Girl, who are you?"

The princess was not in a hurry to reveal her identity, instead she smiled and said: "I think back then, although the Gongsun family was not a famous family with a big business, it couldn't be compared with the Qu family, but relying on the ability to tame animals, they have controlled the family for several generations. In the position of the Beast Supervisor, how many nobles of the rich and powerful families treat him politely in order to obtain a famous beast, which can be called noble.

Unexpectedly, it has fallen to such a point now, which is really embarrassing. "

Jiang Hu didn't touch his knife, bow and arrow, but just clapped his hands and said, "It's interesting. I didn't expect that I would be found by Fengchao's people even if I was hiding here."

"You worry too much, I'm not from Fengchao, neither is my man, we're just fleeing."

"You think I'll believe it?"

The princess silently unbuttoned her clothes and exposed her left arm. There was still solidified wax on the left arm, but the imprint of the fire and phoenix inside could be seen through the wax.

The woman exclaimed directly:

"royal!"

Jiang Hu looked at his wife with some hesitation.

The woman nodded affirmatively at Jiang Hu, and said, "It's the mark of the fire and phoenix."

There was a look of thought in Jiang Hu's eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and pulled out his hunting knife, not pointing at the princess, but at Uncle Zheng.

Uncle Zheng still sat there with his usual expression.

Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing color, this is professionally practiced.

However, the woman seemed to be more knowledgeable than this man.

"Going down the mountain the day before yesterday, I heard that a big incident happened to me, Da Chu, a few days ago. It is said that an uncle of Yan State robbed Qu and the princess in front of everyone on the day of their wedding. Your Highness the Four Princesses.

It surprised me that,

I live deep in the mountains, yet I can meet Uncle Hirano of Dayan. "

Uncle Zheng put down the bowl, opened the lid of the pot, looked at it, and said:

"I don't know if the vermicelli is cooked."

He didn't intend to interrupt, just let the princess talk.

Uncle Zheng is also professional in how to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Princess...His Royal Highness."

The woman knelt down before the princess first.

Seeing this, Jiang Hu's eyes hesitated.

The princess also ignored Jiang Hu, turned around, reached out to help the woman up, and said, "May I ask what your wife's surname is?"

"The criminal woman's surname is Gongsun, and her name is Ling."

"It turns out that my sister-in-law was born in the Gongsun family."

"Yes, the sinful husband was once my father's personal guard. On the night of Yingdu's change, my husband protected me from Beijing and hid in this deep mountain."

"Thank you Madam."

The Gongsun family, the hereditary animal supervisor, died suddenly one day nearly a year ago.

The reason for their demise was that the Gongsun family followed the eldest prince. After the death of the first emperor, the eldest prince took the lead in rebelling, and wanted to take the lead in launching troubles in the capital city, that is, Yingdu, and take control of the government.

The Gongsun family even mobilized their own soldiers and even brought many monsters from the Beast Prison to join them. However, the fourth prince had already obtained the loyalty of the imperial guards, and several royal guards entered Yingdu. After the death of the Fourth Prince, the First Prince's rebellion in Yingdu was ruthlessly extinguished.

The eldest prince was deliberately released from Yingdu, hoping that he would continue to attract and surround him and clean him up, while the Gongsun family was wiped out that night.

The woman's name is Gongsun Ling, and her father should be the head of the Gongsun family, that is to say, the princess's brother is the enemy of the woman in front of her.

Jiang Hu looked at Zheng Fan, slowly put down the knife, and sat down again.

Zheng Fan picked up the spoon and saw that the women had no effort, so he began to stir the pot by himself to prevent the vermicelli from bottoming.

Although the woman is from the Gongsun clan, the one who is really capable should be this Jiang Hu.

This can also explain why Qing Mang would take the initiative to avoid him, because after the princess attracted Qing Mang with her own fire phoenix blood, according to the royal tradition, she would hand over Qing Mang to the Beastmaster for taming.

Qing Mang probably sensed Jiang Hu's aura, so he took the initiative to avoid it.

So, animals are animals after all, and they are unreliable at critical moments.

Uncle Zheng felt that after returning, the green python had to be tamed by the demon kings and instilled with a sense of "loyalty".

Then,

Now that I think about it,

The yellow dog should have been arranged by Jiang Hu himself. It was like setting up a checkpoint in the canyon so that he could respond when he heard the movement.

It's a talent.

Jiang Hu said: "A Ling, she is your enemy. If you say a word, I will kill her and avenge your family."

Uncle Zheng shook his head and sighed:

Lick a dog.

But this licking dog should have succeeded in licking, because the woman's family is already ruined, and she can't survive without being with the licking dog.

Obviously he was also a sinner in Dachu, so he had to hide in Tibet. After seeing Dayan's Uncle Hirano, he said that he wanted to avenge his daughter-in-law.

This man should have no ambitions.

At this time, an ambitious man will not care what the woman thinks, he wants to find a way out for himself.

As for what the woman would think,

Uncle Zheng guessed it.

Uncle Zheng believed that the princess should have guessed it too.

Hiding in Tibet and living in the mountains, I still don’t forget to wear jewelry, and I don’t pay attention to the details of living a frugal life when I cook. I don’t know how much risk my man has to take when he goes down the mountain to buy;

To put it bluntly, this Miss Gongsun is not a person who lives a hard life in a down-to-earth manner.

"No, no more revenge, no more revenge." The woman quickly waved her hands, "It's all over, it's all over."

She didn't want to pursue the revenge of the family being destroyed.

The princess said: "That's what my emperor did, what has it to do with me? Besides, at that time, it was not everyone's own master, the king and the loser.

What's more, now that Bengong regrets the marriage first, he has already broken with my imperial brother, no matter how the debt is calculated, it cannot be settled on Bengong's head. "

"Yes, yes, don't blame the princess, don't blame the princess." The woman said quickly.

Jiang Hu sighed and said, "Princess, you want to go to Jindi with Ping Yebo?"

Zheng Fan continued to stir the bottom of the pot while laughing, "Otherwise?"

"I can pretend I didn't see you because I have a grudge against the regent; but I won't send you into the mountains because I'm from Chu."

"We are all Xia people, we were one family eight hundred years ago."

"Ah."

Jiang Hu was very disdainful.

Uncle Zheng started to fish for vermicelli.

The princess held Gongsun Ling's hand and said to Zheng Fan: "Sir, don't just eat, talk."

Jiang Hu said:

"It's useless to say anything."

While sucking on the vermicelli, Uncle Zheng echoed in his heart: Yes, it's useless to tell you anything, anyway, you are not in charge of your family.

Uncle Zheng ate half a bowl of vermicelli and two slices of bacon, and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

road:

"One, after entering Yan with Ben Bo, although the life cannot be compared with when the Gongsun family was in Yingdu, Ben Bo can guarantee good food and clothing, twenty maids, twenty servants, and the cook is not counted. "

This hodgepodge is really not delicious.

"Second, I can swear to the heavens that I will protect your safety. In my Yanjing, the people of Fengchao cannot be presumptuous."

The first two are about life.

Article 3,

That's the main event.

"Third, His Majesty, Emperor Dayan, will create a new animal supervisor for the Gongsun family, and set up a position in charge. Brother Jiang Hu will be the first in charge, and the second in charge will be your children. This position is hereditary. Don't replace it, and restore the glory of the Gongsun family."

Jiang Hu glared angrily, and scolded: "Don't even think about it!"

Gongsun Ling beside the princess shouted directly to her husband:

"Okay, I promise!"

"..." Jiang Hu.

Uncle Zheng continued to fish for the second bowl of vermicelli. It was not tasty, but he was really hungry.

Jiang Hu looked at his wife and persuaded him, "A Ling, we are from Chu, how can we rely on Yangou, we..."

"If you don't agree, I will die for you now!"

"The Gongsun family is a noble of Chu, how could they do such a..."

"Are you going to force me to die now!"

"Private enmity is private enmity, national hatred is national hatred, Yan people are massacred in Yupan City..."

Gongsun Ling took off the hairpin from her bun,

on his neck,

looking at Jiang Hu;

The previously indifferent and virtuous woman disappeared, replaced by a woman who had infinite yearning for a better life.

The princess made up the knife at this time and said:

"Even my palace is going to enter Yan, why not Gongsun's family entering Yan?"

"Yes, the princess is right, the princess is right." Gongsun Ling seemed to be encouraged, the hairpin pierced her neck, and the blood beads had already flowed out, roaring:

"Jiang Hu, do you agree or not!"

Jiang Hu gritted his teeth,

Uncle Zheng lowered his head and continued eating vermicelli.

Jiang Hu stood up,

take two steps back,

He cupped his hands to Zheng Fan and said:

"See Uncle Hirano!"
