The queen must start from the head

Chapter 118
The three village extermination cases that once shocked the imperial city were finally revealed, and the results of the investigation were made public.

It was said in the announcement that there were demons causing trouble, but fortunately the master took action, and all the crimes were punished.The street, which had survived the Great War and was in need of a complete renovation, was evidence of the fierce fighting.The people also accepted this statement.

Only Chen Zhong and Chen Shi in the warden department still had some doubts in their hearts.

At the beginning, they followed Miss Yue to catch the murderer of the village extermination case. Although the two of them passed out not long after the fight, they knew that the beggar could not have created the wrecked street.

Later, Miss Yue told them quietly that, except for the case in Xiaohe Village, which was man-made, the cases in Qingyan Village and Dongliu Village were all made by demons.The two of them didn't dare to care about this matter anymore.

Let the two of them go to catch the monster and ask the crime?Are you kidding me?
After one after another of turmoil, the imperial city fell into a calm again.

Time flies, and the trial will start in three days.

Now that the exam is approaching, the imperial city is full of people, and almost every inn is full of guests.

In a tea shop facing the street, Huang Shang was sitting and drinking tea with his old servant.He rushed from Zhenna City to stay in the Imperial City half a month in advance for the exam three days later.

The two were drinking tea and chatting.

Suddenly a gust of fragrant wind passed by, causing Huang Chang to look away.

I saw a young woman with a pink face and red lips passing by. Although it was just a glimpse, Huang Chang stood up unconsciously, watching the beautiful woman's back as she left.

A drinker sitting next to him joked when he saw this, "This brother is probably fascinated by the scent of other girls, right?"

Huang Chang came back to his senses at this moment, and suddenly heard the person at the next table speak so bluntly, his fair face blushed.

Although he is a member of the family, he has been studying hard. Where have he heard of this?In the past, many classmates who were addicted to pornography laughed at him for being a nerd, but he didn't care about this.

After thinking for a while, he bowed to the guest and said, "May I ask this guest if he knows the girl's name and address just now?"

Seeing that Huang Chang's face was open and he seemed to be really inquiring, the man replied, "Speaking of which, this girl just came to the imperial city not long ago. Her family opened a new cosmetic shop in the west of the city. The owner of the shop is named Gu. , that’s all I know.”

After Huang Chang thanked this person, he led the old servant out of the tea shop.

The old servant followed behind him, he was puzzled and said, "Master, could it be that you have really taken a fancy to that woman who just passed by?"

Huang Chang smiled and shook the folding fan on his chest, and chanted, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good!"

"It's the season when spring plum blossoms are blooming. Wouldn't it be beautiful if a beautiful woman could accompany you to enjoy the flowers?"

The old servant saw that he had made up his mind and he was going to the West Market, so he stopped trying to persuade him.I thought in my heart, young master, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and the exam is approaching, so why not just take a rest and play today?

Mu Lian, who was also going to take part in the examination, was not immersed in reading at this time, but was walking in the doorway, wandering around.

On the martial arts arena, Shi Tai raised a heavy cauldron with one hand, and a circle of less advanced disciples surrounded him, applauding at this moment.

"Brother Shitai is really amazing! If you continue to train like this, you will be able to lift things that weigh ten thousand catties in the future, right?"

"What is the weight of ten thousand catties? Do you know that the strength to pull a mountain is overwhelming? In the future, Shi Tai will be able to pull up a mountain by raising his hand!"

"If this continues, by the time of next year's sect entrance examination, Senior Brother Shi Tai's strength will have greatly increased again!"

The boasted party, Shi Tai, put down the cauldron in his hand, looked at the group of boys surrounding him, and scolded with a smile, "You boys, you don't know how to practice well, but you come to see me as a juggler!"

After Shi Tai finished speaking, a female voice suddenly appeared from behind out of nowhere and asked, "Who is not practicing well?"

All the juniors, including Shi Tai, quickly bowed their heads to salute the person who came, and shouted in unison, "Hello, Senior Sister!"

The person who came was Zhou Jingshuang, who was also the most senior among the disciples in the sect.

I saw Zhou Jingshuang wearing an iconic school uniform with an ice-blue long sword on his waist, and his eyes swept over everyone present.The people she glanced at all lowered their heads subconsciously.

This is the end of the game, you know, the elder sister usually attaches great importance to practice!As long as there are disciples who sneak, rape and play tricks in the sect, those who don't cultivate well, once they are caught by her, they will be well repaired.That taste is not pleasant at all.

Shi Tai, who was caught in the crowd, felt a little helpless and wanted to slap his mouth. What do you say if you have nothing to do? If you can’t speak, don’t say it.Now it's all right, if the elder sister punishes him later, he will definitely have no choice but to run away.

"Since you are all so free and can still get together to chat, let's go for a run and exercise. Run around the outermost perimeter of the sect ten times. Go ahead."

Sure enough, the punishment came!
When they heard that they were going to run ten laps around the sect covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu, all the disciples were stunned.However, no one dared to disobey the order of the elder sister.

They also knew that if any of them dared to continue to be lazy during the punishment, the next one to pop up out of nowhere would probably be Senior Sister Yueyin.Thinking of Senior Sister Yue Yin's face after showing a weird smile, all the disciples couldn't help shivering.

No one said much, everyone lowered their heads and started getting ready to run.

Shi Tai also followed in the crowd, and suddenly Zhou Jing called out to him, "Stay, you stay, and the others go for a run."

Um?I was left behind?Shi Tai was taken aback for a moment, and then grinned after understanding, "Eldest sister is really perceptive, knowing that junior brother and I have never been lazy...".

Zhou Jingshuang looked at Shi Tai. This junior brother was just as tall as her when he first walked in, but now he was a head taller than her.The way he smiled looked a bit silly. Is it really okay to leave that matter to him?

"Come with me, I have something for you to do."

"I can do it as long as my junior brother, but it depends on the orders of my senior sister!"

Zhou Jingshuang glanced at him again, turned her head and left, and Shi Taidian followed behind.

Under a cluster of flower walls not far away, Mu Lian quietly poked out her curious head and said to herself, "It seems that my disciples are still expected to be single."

At this moment, a transparent jelly-like slime was lying on her shoulder, bouncing on the spot a few times dissatisfied, "What's so good about being single? Only being single is good in the world, and single children are like treasures. Only by being single can you pursue the Dao without distraction..." Before it could say anything, a big hand suddenly pinched its cheek, and its crooked mouth protruded like two round sausages.

"Su... Lord Su, don't bully..." Damn it, it couldn't even speak!

Mu Lian didn't take it seriously, and continued to knead the ball of slime that felt good in her hands, thinking about other things in her mind.

Now, everything in the sect is on the right track.

The punishment jade picked up last time has been placed in the sect.The two village extermination cases on the outskirts of the imperial city were indeed the work of monsters, not him, but the perpetrators vaguely pointed the evidence of the murders at him.

This is why?

She recalled what Yueyin said about the monsters besieging and killing Xingyu.The troubles on this person may not be eliminated, but she is not afraid.

According to what Qianxue and Jingshuang discovered, there are many monster races hidden in the imperial city.The banshee they caught from Wushuang's small shop before destroyed its body and then annihilated its soul, for fear that they would ask the slightest secret.I'm afraid these monster clans have a lot of schemes, and I'm afraid there will be times when they will confront each other in the future.

As for other troubles.Counting it down, the Lin family was destroyed, Mingyue Building was empty, Embroidery Women's Workshop was almost closed down, and Baiye Building paid a huge ransom.Those big bookstores in the city that had participated in the carve-up of the Sancai Bookstore, after the fall of the Lin family, took the initiative to "cut their flesh" and delivered them to their door.

In addition, she also lost two saints.One is the Heavenly Eagle Saint from Zhao Kingdom, and the other is the one in the silver armor, but the other party didn't say his name before he died. Could it be that she acted too quickly?
If Wei Han knew what Mu Lian was thinking at this moment, he would definitely crawl out from under the ground and raise his hands to agree with her idea.

A saint can control a country, and these two saints died at her hands, there must be consequences, but I don't know when it will happen.As Mu Lian thought about it, she faintly felt that the burden on her body was getting heavier.

At dusk that day, the blood-colored setting sun covered half of the sky.

"Da da da", a fast horse was entering from the east gate of the imperial city non-stop, directly across the street, and ran all the way to the direction of the palace.

The messenger on the horse's face was flushed, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he suddenly reined in his horse and rolled off the horse. The horse, which was already exhausted, immediately fell to the ground.

"Urgent news from the border! Get it to His Majesty as soon as possible!"

The messenger handed the urgent message in a sealed tube to Xiao Huangmen, who had been waiting here for a long time. The latter did not dare to delay, gathered his energy, and hurried to the palace where His Majesty was.

Not long after, there was an angry roar in the palace where the monarch was, followed by the sound of tables and chairs being lifted and porcelain shattering.The palace maids and servants guarding the door all held their breath and dared not speak out.

The monarch's voice came faintly from inside the room, "Damn it... Great Qin, wolf ambition...".

Although they didn't know what was written in the letter from the border, they all knew that something bad had happened.

That night, the monarch ordered someone to copy the content of the urgent letter and send it to the leader Mu of the Wushuang faction.

The next day, everyone in the imperial city soon knew that things had changed further north in their Northern Qi country.
