Save my wife all over the world

Chapter 123 Swordsman and Demon Slayer (9)

============================

The gloomy night gradually began to fade away from the horizon, engulfing the royal city little by little.

The carriage is driving on the neat and wide palace road, and the blackout curtains are raised, occasionally you can see maids in palace costumes, bowing their heads and welcoming them in a low voice and quick pace. After seeing the carriage stop and salute, they continue to move forward, with an indifferent and numb expression .

When the darkness gradually became blurred, the lights in the palace were turned on one by one, and the patrolling soldiers also raised the candles. It was obviously a warm firelight, but it couldn't add much warmth to the cold palace city.

"My lords, here we are."

The grunting wheels of the carriage stopped, and after a while, the door curtain was lifted, and the waiter who led the way was waiting at the door, calling out respectfully.

Ling Yan looked out through the narrow car door, and could only see the long steps. After getting off the car, she could glimpse the whole view of the palace above the steps.

This is not the apse, it should be the palace of the king.

"Your Majesty would like to meet some of your lords first."

As if seeing Ling Yan's doubts, the servant explained very appropriately.

In the palace of the king, there was the sound of extravagance. Women in tulle danced extremely softly. A middle-aged man was sitting at the head of the desk in a dragon suit, hugging a few lovely people on the left and right, Laughing wildly.

His eyes were black and blue, his face was dark, and he was skinny. It looked like he was singing and singing all night, and his body was hollowed out by wine.

Seeing the scene in front of them, it was a battle that few people had ever seen before.

Ling Yan couldn't help frowning her brows, with unstoppable disgust in her eyes.On the contrary, Gu Zhong squinted his eyes and looked at the king with great interest who had no worries in the eyes of the demon and was still singing and dancing.

"Your Majesty, several master demon masters have arrived."

The waiter seemed not to be surprised, as if he couldn't see the scene in front of him, he still spoke in a flat tone.

"Let's all go back."

Hearing what the waiter said, the man's brows moved indiscernibly, as if he was enduring something, he paused for a while to pass the wine cup to his mouth, as if he lost interest in the things in front of him for a moment, and waved his hand impatiently Said.

"Here!"

All the palace people filed out, leaving only the man and the king who came to slay the demon tonight.

"You guys, are you really not afraid of death?"

His words were full of disdain, obviously he didn't think that the young people in front of him were really capable of solving the palace affairs.

"The king specially called us here just to question us?"

After all, it was Chu Cheng who couldn't bear it anymore and asked aloud.

"Ah—it's just a routine—a boring routine. You are from the National Teacher's Mansion? Doesn't it seem that your status is not low?"

Wang Man replied nonchalantly, obviously he really didn't care, he happened to see the iconic uniform of the National Teacher's Mansion in Chucheng with a casual glance, and then asked a series of questions like a cannonball.

"The National Teacher's Mansion actually sent you here? Are you offending someone?"

"Kings···"

Chu Cheng only felt angry and was about to explain when he was interrupted.

"Forget it, take them to the queen's place. Excuse me, I'll go find Mrs. Hu tonight."

Obviously, Wang didn't really want to hear Chu Cheng's answer. He finished the question on his own, without needing an answer at all, and then gave the order on his own, stood up unsteadily and prepared to leave.

"A few adults, please."

The servant still led the way dutifully.

"This is the first time I know what the king looks like!"

There was unstoppable anger and disappointment in Chucheng's words, like a loyal courtier discovering for the first time that the Lord is not worthy of his responsibilities.

"It's very interesting. He doesn't look like a king, but more like a child who can do nothing but run amok."

On the contrary, Gu Zhong smiled lightly, and gave an angle that no one had ever thought of.

"My lord, is the relationship between the king and the queen at odds?"

Ling Yan was still thinking about the king's indifferent attitude towards the Queen's Palace, so he asked the servant in this way.

"Where is it? The king and the queen are naturally very affectionate as husband and wife."

The servant refuted her words, but the tone remained flat, like a routine template answer.

"Then why does the king seem indifferent to the queen's affairs?"

If they were loving couples, how could they be indifferent because the other party was in a dangerous situation, Ling Yan still questioned them.

"···"

The servant didn't answer any more, just walked hurriedly with lowered eyebrows.

"In this palace, the most involuntary person is the king, right?"

Instead, Gu Zhong answered a sentence, causing the servant's well-paced footsteps to pause for a moment and become chaotic.

Ling Yan turned her head and looked at Gu Zhong with some confusion.

"arrive."

In front of another majestic and luxurious palace, the servant stopped and refused to take another half step.

"The old slave will send you adults here, please go."

After saying this, as if he was afraid of something, he quickly turned around and left quickly, even faster than before.

Ling Yan looked towards the apse that was rumored to be occupied by demons.

Through the wide open palace door, one can see the busy palace maids inside, busy cleaning, looking after the lights, chopping firewood and changing water, everyone is performing their due duties, everything is very orderly and normal.

Occasionally, Gong'e looked at the door, as if she felt very strange about the group of people standing at the door, and gathered together in groups of threes and twos to whisper.

"The people in this palace are ordered not to go out until the queen recovers. They must take good care of the queen with all their heart, so they don't know any rumors outside."

A disciple of the National Teacher's Mansion who came with him explained to everyone in a low voice.

"Are the adults here to see the queen?"

An older nanny stepped forward, saluted them, and asked them cautiously. Her expression was full of expectation, but mixed with apprehension and worry, as if she was worried that if the queen couldn't get better, she would be in trouble for the rest of her life. Trapped to death in this palace.

"···Yes."

Recalling what the disciple said just now, Ling Yan knew that it was to avoid causing panic and avoiding greater accidents, so she followed the words of this nun fluently.

"Hey...it's already the sixth batch, and it's useless."

There was a gratified smile on the corner of the nanny's mouth, but it turned into sorrow in an instant.

"The sixth batch? What about the people who came in earlier?"

Chu Cheng grasped this number vigilantly, which was the same as what Senior Brother Lu had told them.

"Those adults... After seeing the Queen, they probably knew that there was nothing they could do, so they left in a hurry overnight."

Mammy sighed again, she didn't seem to feel that as a doctor, it was unreasonable for her to leave overnight.

"Is anyone allowed to enter the queen's palace now?"

Obviously all the behaviors of all the people in this palace seem to be very normal, but Gu Zhong vaguely feels that something is not quite right.

The servant who was sent to the door refused to take half a step, and the palace door was wide open, but no one escaped. Inside the palace, there seemed to be two distinct worlds.

It was supposed to be a heavily guarded apse, but no one was guarding it. They walked in so casually, and no one questioned them. Instead, they were very hospitable.

That's right, hospitable - although this nun seems to be worried about the queen's condition, Gu Zhong feels that her worries seem to be covered by a thick layer of veil, which is very illusory.

Gu Zhong's question made the nanny freeze in place, and a gust of wind blew by, making the candle in the nanny's hand erratic.

In the place where the firelight could vaguely reflect, the rich man's vigorous face that was originally full of sorrow, worry and joy suddenly changed into a mechanical expressionless face, looking at Gu Zhong coldly, and then changed into a surprised look.

In such a short moment, if it wasn't for Gu Zhong's confidence in his eyes' ability to see things in the dark, he would have suspected that the changes just now were caused by his own delusions.

"In order to cure the queen's illness, didn't the king give an order that all doctors can enter and leave the apse freely if they are sure?"

Mammy asked rather strangely, finally showing a hint of vigilance in her expression.

"Indeed, I forgot."

Gu Zhong laughed lightly, and responded to her, and then some vague memories popped up in his mind, as if someone really told them about this edict.

"Did someone say that? Why don't I remember?"

Hearing this sentence, Ling Yan gave Gu Zhong a strange look, then stepped back half a step, leaned close to Gu Zhong, and whispered in her ear.

Her tone was too firm, causing Gu Zhong to raise his eyebrows in surprise, followed by a flash of clarity in his eyes.

"I'm not sure."

Gu Zhong replied, his words still carried a relaxed and cheerful smile, but his brows were completely dignified.

"What do you mean?"

Ling Yan has been carefully watching Gu Zhong's expression, seeing such a diametrically opposite expression, immediately became nervous.

"Above the apse, is there a black mist?"

Gu Zhong didn't answer her directly, but asked a question instead.This is what Senior Brother Lu said. Some disciples discovered the vision of black mist above the apse, and only then did they know that there were demons entrenched in the palace.

"Yes, I have!"

Ling Yan raised his head, pointed to his forehead with his right hand, stared intently for a while, and then replied firmly.

"I can't see."

When Gu Zhong said this, Ling Yan was startled.

"We're in the game—from stepping through that door."

She stopped, turned her head, and looked at the palace door that was still open.

It was clear that they had only walked a few steps, but within a few words of chatting, they were already hundreds of feet away from the gate of the palace.

In the boundless night, the yellow lanterns hanging on the palace gate swayed slowly, without casting any shadows on the ground.

At this time, if you want to go to that door again, you will feel a feeling of powerlessness in your heart, as if even if you walk for a lifetime, it will be an unreachable shore.

"My lord, what are you looking at?"

The nanny's face sculpted by years of wind and frost suddenly enlarged in front of Gu Zhong's eyes. Under the imprint of the candlelight, the originally kind and kind folds lost their warmth and became gloomy and cold.

The palace servants who were busy in the courtyard corridor were still doing their work, but their heads were turned to look at Gu Zhong, and they could feel their real sight.

"Nothing, let's go."

Gu Chong turned his head, his footsteps thumping on the marble-paved road.

"Gu Zhong, stop moaning, you still have to see the queen."

Chu Cheng, who had always been patient, also became impatient, and Ling Ying looked at her sullenly, without saying a word.

——Chu Cheng never called her name.

Ling Yan was far away from them, her thumb began to rub the back of her hand, she looked at Gu Zhong, with a slight light of hesitation in her eyes.

"Ayan, wake me up."

Gu Zhong walked up to Ling Yan, held her hand, his eyes overflowed with endless tenderness, and he whispered like a lover.
