The demon world I designed

Chapter 15 The Hidden Man
"Academic politics?"

In the warehouse, Chen Qing was a little confused: "Xuezheng is a warlock?"

After all, the background of my partner's design is the former dynasty, in which the inheritance of human warlocks has been broken, which seems to be different from the current Jin Dynasty.

"Don't your lord understand?" Wei Gongcheng asked curiously.

Seeing the other party's puzzled face, Chen Qing's mouth twitched: "I'm just a child from a poor family. For five generations, only my father was admitted as a scholar. How can I know the secrets of Xuezheng adults?"

"Eh..." Wei Gongcheng suddenly had a strange expression, a poor family?Can ordinary children from poor families know such a secret ghost as Mr. Painted Skin?
I don't know if it's true or not, but Wei Gongcheng patiently told Chen Qing about the academic and political system of the dynasty and the secrets of some magicians.

Chen Qing listened carefully. After all, if you want to survive in this world, information is the most important thing.

After listening to the other party's detailed narration, Chen Qing gradually understood some of the imperial court's management of warlocks.

Xuezheng is a third-rank official, the highest-ranking academic official in the province, and not under the jurisdiction of the local administration. It is directly under the central control of the imperial court, which is equivalent to an imperial envoy. On the surface, the job is to manage scientific examinations and provincial education. In fact, it also has the right to seal secrets, as well as the function of monitoring local monsters.

All Xuezhengs are warlocks, and they must be very strong warlocks. They must have sufficient strength and experience in dealing with evil spirits. They are administrative officials who mainly deal with local evil and evil incidents. Generally, local county officials encounter strange things. It must be reported to the state capital, and the state capital will report the incident to the Xuezheng lord guarding the provincial capital.

Hearing this, Chen Qing was a little puzzled: "Only Xuezheng is a warlock? None of the government-level Xuezheng adults? Then can he be busy? Why doesn't the court train more warlocks?"

Normal people will definitely be puzzled when they hear this. Xuezheng manages the scientific examination education of a province, which is already busy, and also manages the evil spirits in a provincial capital. Are you busy?
"My lord is familiar with Mr. Wang, don't you know that warlocks are a taboo profession and should not be spread easily?" Wei Gongcheng looked at Chen Qing suspiciously.

"Your Majesty Wei, don't need to try..." Chen Qing said with a smile: "I am not familiar with Sir Wang, and we have only known each other for a few days. Strange news and information, but he is just an ordinary person.”

Wei Gongcheng frowned upon hearing the words, this is also the point of his doubts, this young adult is not of blood, nor does he have the spiritual power of a sorcerer, how could Lord Wang Ye entrust the matter of life and death to him?
But he still nodded and explained: "Naturally, there will not be only Master Xuezheng and a sorcerer in a province. Xuezheng has the duty of conducting warlocks. Usually, he will bring a few apprentice warlocks with him. Warlocks are different from people of our blood. Unstable, especially for newcomers, there is a very high risk of becoming demons, so not only the assessment is strict, but also the growth must be supervised and inspected by the Xuezheng Master. Of course, the Xuezheng Master will also send these students to deal with some less risky demons Incident, Lord Wang Ye came here in the same way back then."

"So that's how it is..." Chen Qing nodded. It seems that although the path of warlocks has been excavated and inherited, it is strictly controlled by the court. The quality is unknown, but the quantity is probably pitifully small.

"The general told me about studying politics, do you want to ask him for help?"

"Yes..." Wei Gongcheng nodded: "Master Xuezheng is usually a high-level magician. With his participation, the success rate of rescuing Mr. Wang will be much higher."

"What is the general's concern?"

"I don't know if he's reliable..."

"Oh?" Chen Qing's expression became a little meaningful when he heard the words: "Why did the general say that? As the general said, Xuezheng is directly under the imperial court, and the lower officials also know that Xuezheng is changed every three years. He has to return to Beijing to report on his duties after three years of office, and he is a high-level warlock, so he should not be replaced, after all, the risk of replacement is high, isn't it?"

"That's what I said..." Wei Gongcheng took a breath: "But I feel a little uneasy about that Xuezheng lord."

"Intuition?" Chen Qing's heart moved: "Although it is a bit presumptuous, but since we are in such a risky situation today, I still have to ask, what is your blood?"

Wei Gongcheng took a deep look at Chen Qing when he heard the words, but said honestly: "Our Wei family is of the blood of the Wind Snake, and is a vassal of the Tianpeng blood of the Yuchi family for generations. Our family's blood has a very high intuitive anticipation of danger. Sentence."

"Oh, that's how it is..." Chen Qing nodded clearly.

"It seems that my lord knows..." Wei Gongcheng said with a smile: "My lord, you are definitely not an ordinary scholar."

The secret of the bloodline, few families will spread it to outsiders, even in the circle, few people know what powers his Wei family's Fengshe bloodline has, and the other party's appearance obviously knows it.

"Hey, I've heard of some..." Chen Qing made a fool of himself, and immediately changed the subject: "The general told me this, because he wanted me to help judge whether Xuezheng is really in danger?"

"Yes..." Wei Gongcheng nodded: "Master Chen thinks, is it possible that Xuezheng... is one of them?"

"This..." Chen Qing thought carefully after hearing this.

"This damn thing, it can be hidden!"

Yu Chipeng was flying in mid-air, with an increasingly impatient expression on his face.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Yuchi family has survived three dynasties, and its background is quite deep. Naturally, those soldiers of his own are not ordinary people, they are all family soldiers with the blood of demon dogs or nighthawks.

They can search for monsters with their keen sense of smell and vision, and lead a search team to coordinate with their high-altitude ambush. Few of them can escape, which is why the Yuchi family has been reused from generation to generation.

This ghost baby has already fought with him during the day, and he has also shed blood. With this kind of trace, within a hundred miles, he shouldn't be able to escape the search of his generals. Could it be that it ran out of Liuzhou City?
Thinking of this, Yu Chipeng was anxious and at the same time began to feel a little guilty. The reason why he agreed to Xuezheng lord for a three-day period was because he was confident in his ability to search for his own soldiers, but now it seems that it is not so smooth...
Could it be that he really couldn't escape the fate of being ridiculed?

"Huh? That's it?" Yu Chipeng seemed to have seen something, and his expression suddenly became excited, and he swooped over directly.

But I didn't see it. After he flew away, a black curtain quickly enveloped a certain place in Liuzhou City——
"Yu Chipeng has opened the Tianpeng bloodline, search the whole city!"

Somewhere in the mountains, Mr. Huang, who fished Mr. Miao out of the hot spring, gasped and said, "You old guy, you are as thin as a firewood. I didn't expect it to be quite heavy!"

Mr. Miao ignored the other party's teasing, and said seriously: "So, from now on, Liuzhou City can't send letters?"

"Nonsense...do you dare to pass it on?" Master Huang rolled his eyes: "It's not like you don't know about Tianpeng's eyesight. Unless my wooden bird can become invisible, how could it be possible to pass the message under Yuchipeng's eyes?"

"Cough... I told you at the beginning, let you design something lighter, such as a carpenter bee or something..."

"You put it so simply..." Master Huang suddenly laughed angrily: "Can bees and birds be the same? Birds can glide, and bees and insects can fly by vibrating their wings at high frequencies. Can the power design be the same? Hey..... like you Even if you tell me, you don’t understand!”

"Anyway, from now on, we will be blind..." Mr. Miao frowned, "The entire Liuzhou City will be out of our control, maybe for three days!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to restrict Yu Chipeng to Liuzhou?" Master Huang stared and said, "Now that he has activated Tianpeng's bloodline and wandered around Liuzhou City, it is most unlikely to interfere with us..."

"That's what I said...but I always feel..." Mr. Miao frowned and said, "We've been tricked!"

"what?"

"You said... Is it possible that the other party didn't intend to let the ghost baby kill us in the first place, but the purpose was to force us out of the city and make us lose control of Liuzhou?"

"Are you thinking too much?" Master Huang frowned: "What is the purpose of doing this? Where is the motive?"

"If I wanted it... I wouldn't be asking questions here..." Mr. Miao narrowed his eyes: "Old guy, I have a feeling that this time... maybe we really encountered someone in trouble! "
-
"Brother Wei, the brothers have searched the entire southern part of the city, but there is no news. The brothers from the northern city also wrote back, but they haven't found any traces. I'm afraid that ghost thing is no longer in the city!"

"Really?" Wei Gongcheng looked at the other party, nodded, and there was a flash of kindness in his eyes. The brother who reported was moving naturally, and he was one of the few people who had not been replaced. He was picking someone so that his brother would not encounter murderous hands. When it was time, it was deliberately divided into two groups.

As far as possible, arrange the brothers with natural movements to search the inner city, to be closer to him, and arrange the monsters in the skin of brothers to the suburbs.

"Don't worry, we still have time, if we are all in a hurry, what do you ask the boss to do?" Wei Gongcheng pointed to the sky and smiled.

"That's right... Boss is always impatient..." The soldier rubbed his head and laughed, looking at the sky, but he was taken aback for a second.

"Where is the boss?"

"Eh?" Wei Gongcheng was shocked when he heard the words, and raised his head suddenly. He has the blood of the Wind Snake, and his eyesight is not weaker than that of a soldier with the blood of the Nighthawk, but under his amazing vision, he can't see the figure of Lieutenant Chi Peng in the sky!

General... When did you fly away?

"Quick, notice..." Wei Gongcheng was stunned as soon as the words fell, because he could obviously feel that there was no sound in what he said...
Not only is there no sound, it seems that there is nothing around.

It was pitch black, lights, figures, and houses all disappeared, leaving only endless darkness, nothing could be seen or heard...
Without hesitation, Wei Gongcheng pulled out the dagger from his waist and looked around with extreme vigilance.

One second... two seconds... I don't know how much time has passed. In this environment without sight and hearing, he feels that time passes surprisingly slowly...
Looking at Wei Gongcheng who was motionless, vigilant and breathing still, there was a sound of admiration in the darkness.

"I haven't met someone who can maintain a stable mood for a quarter of an hour during the old man's surgery. General Wei really deserves to be the one who can assist the two generations of Yuchi family heads!"

Wei Gongcheng clenched the handle of the knife, his eyes were cold, he knew that there were not many people who assisted the two generations of Patriarchs, and the intelligence of the other party was stronger than expected.

"Master Xuezheng!!"

Looking at the person who came, Wei Gongcheng took a deep breath, his face didn't show shock, on the contrary, he looked like that.

The conversation with Chen Qing in the afternoon came to mind.

"Have?"

At that time, Chen Qing's answer made Wei Gongcheng's heart skip a beat: "But how is this possible? I have observed carefully just now, and Xuezheng acts naturally, without a sense of rigidity. He should not be a puppet, and the court's selection of Xuezheng is extremely strict. There should be no traitors!"

"Isn't that why you, General, think there is something wrong with Mr. Xuezheng?" Chen Qing laughed.

Wei Gongcheng was silent, with a troubled expression on his face, this is also the reason why he came to ask for advice, there was a contradiction between intuition and logic...
"Is it possible that this Master Xuezheng was a fake from the beginning?"

"Why do adults say that?"

"Look... that Qianmianhu can enter Beijing as Cui Yan's wife, which means that she can change the memory of General Yuchi. Since it can be changed, if the other party's layout is deeper, you can change your understanding of important people. memory, then some of the important people you met when you came to Liuzhou may be fake."

"Master Xuezheng is a good target. He is very important, but you don't see each other often. What do you think, General Wei?"
