The demon world I designed

Chapter 257 Mother and Daughter Targeted

"Mom, is this Liuzhou? It's such a big door!"

Outside the huge city gate, the little girl looked at the huge city gate in surprise and danced with joy.

"Put your hands down, girl, what does it look like!" The beautiful woman next to her knocked the girl on the head, with an angry look on her face: "Don't make a fuss, especially when you get to the academy. If you are kicked out for this, I think what would you do?"

"Isn't that so exaggerated?" The little girl stuck out her tongue: "During the Yunzhou exam, the invigilators were very gentle. How could my mother be so harsh?"

"What do you know?" The woman rolled her eyes: "It's hard for this woman to stand out. Although Liuzhou College is not limited to men and women now, the worldly view has not changed. People just can't see women in positions of power. If you want to Otherwise, there are so many reference girls in Yunzhou, how come you are the only one who has passed the test? "

"Is it possible that they themselves can't do it?" the little girl said blankly.

"Nonsense!" The woman glared and said, "You are very good? Master Su's daughter is seventeen years old. She is a famous talented girl in Yunzhou. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can't do it, but you can do it. Do you know that because What?"

"Because?" The little girl was stunned.

"Of course it's because you can't get up or down!" The woman lowered her voice: "Those who are too forward-looking are deliberately screened out by the higher-ups. It's totally unacceptable. Naturally, it's not easy to get through. It's just a symbolic admission for you to be like this, neither up to down". Coming here not only proves the open-mindedness of the superior officer, but also does not take away the man's prestige. You have taken advantage, don't be complacent."

"Uh." The girl was stunned, and her little mouth suddenly pouted.

I had studied hard for so many days, how could my mother say I was the one taking advantage?

Obviously the lady who taught me said that I was very talented in arithmetic.

"But the Master is very majestic, and she is also a woman. You see, the city lords of Yunzhou are all polite to her."

"That's because she has made great achievements." The woman sighed: "We can have such a big shipyard in Yunzhou because of Master Huang's magical skills, which has given our Yunzhou so much How many business opportunities have you obtained? With such achievements falling from the sky, of course the city lord is polite to her, so I support you coming here to learn skills. Although you don’t expect to stand out like a man, if you learn some skills, you will at least have a chance to gain a foothold. Do you understand?”

"Oh." The little girl lowered her head after hearing this, and her interest suddenly dropped a lot compared to before.

"Where are you from? Why are you in the city?"

The defenders at the door asked the mother and daughter as usual.

The woman glanced at the city gate and sighed in her heart. It was indeed the place where Mr. Chen made his fortune. The city gates in Liuzhou were different from those in Yunzhou. They were also protected by the door god, but the scale was so different.

If Chen Qing were here, she would definitely smile bitterly at this woman who thinks too much.

The city gates in Liuzhou are at least large in scale. One reason is that the door god was established early, and the first generation door god was the Wolf King. He was very qualified but he was older, so he upgraded quickly. Now he is the highest level among the Jiangnan forces. The door gods in Nanyang City are two levels higher than those in Nanyang City, so they are naturally different.

"Ah, this military master, we are from Yunzhou. This time we mainly brought my daughter here to take the Yin Yang College exam."

"Oh?" The soldier guarding the door was stunned when he heard this. He immediately looked at the mother and daughter, and his tone became much more respectful: "It turns out that he is a female gentleman. Do you have the examination certificate?"

"Yes, yes," the woman quickly took out a document covered with Yunzhou brocade cloth. When she opened it, she saw a magic seal.

The guarding soldier's tone became more respectful after confirmation. He looked at the girl and said, "It's amazing. This child doesn't look big, but he actually passed the preliminary examination. I remember that there were ten thousand people taking part in the preliminary examination in Yunzhou, and only fifty people were admitted. Right? Tsk, that’s amazing. I have a distant relative in Yunzhou, and the child at home is already twenty-two years old. He is famous for being a civil servant, and it is said that he didn’t even pass the first test this time.”

"Really?" The woman was stunned and swallowed her saliva: "You haven't even passed the exam?"

"Hey, isn't it?" The guard guard looked at the little girl and said, "That's amazing. At such a young age, you have to seize the opportunity. If you enter the academy, your future will be bright."

When the girl heard this, her low mood suddenly became much higher.

When the woman heard this, she touched her daughter's hair happily. If the child was lucky enough to pass the exam and get into the academy, she would be relieved, and she could go to find that heartless guy.

She actually vaguely guessed that the dead ghost must have a family, and it would be difficult for a widow like herself to come to the door.

Coming to be a concubine is an act of self-degradation. My daughter cannot suffer along with it. If she is a stupid mother, she should just let her bear it on her own.

Not long after the two mother and daughter entered the city, a woman in black also came outside the city. The woman in black covered her face in broad daylight. In today's relatively open place in Jiangnan, she was very eye-catching, but in fact, underneath the face covering , the woman’s face is covered with centipede-like scars.

The woman's footsteps stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate, because she clearly felt that the huge wolf head on the city gate was already looking at her!

There was an inexplicable flash in the woman's eyes, but she didn't dare to test it easily. After looking at it twice, she quietly retreated all the way to a boat at the dock.

"how?"

Inside the cabin, there were dozens of women who looked like the masked woman, their faces covered with black scarves and their faces disfigured.

The woman who came in stuck out her tongue, and it was like a snake's letter, still purple and black, which immediately made the two male guards guarding next to her feel cold!

"According to the information and taste provided by Madam, yes, that mother and daughter are now in Liuzhou City!"

"Oh?" The leading woman frowned when she heard this: "If that's the case, why didn't you follow?"

"There is something strange about the city gate in Liuzhou." The woman whispered: "Not only is it incredibly tall, but the wolf head on the city gate seems to be alive. I can feel it watching me from a hundred feet away. If I get closer, I'm afraid it will It's going to cause turmoil. It's rumored that the city gates in Liuzhou can identify demons. It seems to be true!"

"Is this so?" One of the women frowned: "It's better to take action Jiang Shang!"

"Do it on the river?" The leading woman snorted coldly: "Didn't you see the formation on the river? The ship the woman was on was an official ship from Yunzhou. It is said that the escorts were all students taking the entrance examination from Liuzhou Yin Yang College. Not only were they escorted by Poseidon Guards, There are also the Dou Shen Army guards specially dispatched by Yunzhou. I took a look at it from a distance. The soldiers on the ship are all very powerful. They are at least the level of fifth-grade warriors. The leading generals are even higher than the third-grade. !”

"This Chen Qing is not an ordinary person. The military power under his command is of such a high level. No wonder the imperial court has such a huge setback this time!"

"Then how to fulfill the madam's instructions?" The woman next to her was a little anxious.

Everyone knows how harsh their wives are to their subordinates. Madam never treats anyone poorly. Anyone who followed the lady from the Dilong Cave back then now enjoys the resources that only the children of the aristocratic family have. But the premise is that they can do good things, madam. He is extremely jealous and will try his best to torture any woman who dares to touch Lu Ming.

In the previous years, it was not that Lu Ming had not protected him, he had used various methods, such as entrusting his children or concubines to a certain lieutenant or a certain powerful sorcerer, but it was useless because they were in the Earth Dragon Cave. The earth snakes that came out had sneak attacks that were extremely difficult to defend against.

Over the years, as long as Madam ordered them, they have basically never lost control. The only time was that of Mu Hongqing. The powerful warlock's methods were too weird, and he trained Mu Hongqing as a direct disciple, so it was really difficult to do it.

That time, Madam was so angry that she swallowed fourteen sisters alive!

Everyone couldn't help but shudder at the thought of such a scene happening again.

"Guard!" The leading woman said coldly: "The exam will be over. I have heard that in Chen Qing's power, the gentleman from Yin Yang College is highly valued, so he is so protected. , even in the Yin Yang Academy in Beijing, very few women can pass the exam. The little girl has a greater chance of not passing the exam. When the time comes to go back, there is a high probability that she will take an ordinary cargo ship, so we can start. "

"Elder sister is right"

The others were slightly relieved after hearing this. They didn't want to experience Madam's terrifying side again.——

"Your Majesty, there is a message from Pang Shangshu." Chen Ying came to Chen Qing's room and reported.

"So fast?" Chen Qing frowned: "What did he say?"

"The request was made, asking us to return Yuchi Peng and release the 50,000 disciple soldiers!"

Chen Qing rubbed her fingers silently when she heard this, and tapped the table gently with her other hand.

"What worries does the Lord have?" Chen Ying asked curiously.

After being together for so long, she has roughly understood some of Chen Qing's habits. Whenever Chen Qing has something that he can't figure out, he will look like this.

"It's understandable that the court wants to take back Yuchi Peng and the 50,000-strong army. But" Chen Qing squinted: "Lu Ming also wants it."

"What do you mean, sir? Lu Ming has reached a cooperation with Pang Shangshu?"

"It's not realistic." Chen Qing shook his head: "Pang Shangshu represents the interests of the entire warlock family. Now that the civil servants have finally gained the upper hand in the court, why should they cooperate with Lu Ming? What is left of Lu Ming now? Do you want any soldiers? Bing, you need prestige but not prestige. To put it bluntly, you are a prodigal dog. In addition to getting an extra share of the pie, you also have to bear the risk that the other party may betray you halfway, which is of little significance. "

"Then what does the Lord mean?"

"I just can't figure it out." Chen Qing frowned: "Lu Ming shouldn't be able to cooperate with Pang Shangshu, but since he is here, he won't do nothing, right? How many days can the magic circle last?"

Chen Ying: "Five days. If you include the energy to take action, there are only three days."

"It seems we have to force it out." Chen Qing stood up and said, "Inform all of them that there will be a banquet tonight!"

"yes"
