The demon world I designed

Chapter 257 The Targeted Mother and Daughter
"Mother, this is Liuzhou? What a big gate!"

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 the girl knocked on the girl's head, with a face of reproach: "Don't make a fuss, especially if you are in the academy, if you get kicked out because of this, I think what would you do?"

"Why is that so exaggerated?" The little girl stuck out her tongue: "During the Yunzhou exam, those invigilators were very gentle, how could my mother speak so harshly?"

"What do you know?" The woman gave her a white look: "This woman is not easy to get ahead. Although Liuzhou College does not restrict men and women now, the world's vision has not changed after all. Women are superior, people just can't see it. Otherwise, there are so many female dolls for reference in the whole Yunzhou, how come you are the only one who passed the test?"

"Is it possible that they can't do it themselves?" The little girl asked in a daze.

"Nonsense!" The woman stared and said, "You are very good? Master Su's daughter is seventeen years old. She is a well-known talented woman in Yunzhou. She is proficient in everything. What?"

"Because of what?" The little girl was taken aback.

"Of course it's because you can't go up or down!" The woman lowered her voice and said, "If you are too aggressive, the higher ups will deliberately filter it out. It's totally unacceptable. Of course, it's not easy to get through. It's just you who want to be like this, a symbolic admission." If one comes over, it not only proves the enlightenment of the superior official, but also won't steal the man's prestige, you are taking advantage of it, don't be complacent."

"Amount..." The girl was stunned for a moment, and her small mouth suddenly pouted.

I have studied so hard for so many days, how did I become a cheap pick in my mother's mouth?
Obviously the female master who taught her said that she was very talented in arithmetic.

"But... the master is very majestic. She is also a woman. You see, the city lords of Yunzhou are very polite to her."

"That's because she has achieved great enough results." The woman sighed, "Our Yunzhou can have such a big shipyard, it is all because of Master Huang's miraculous skill, which has added a lot to our Yunzhou. How many business opportunities have you gained? Such political achievements have fallen from the sky, and the city lord is of course polite to her, so I support you to come here to learn skills. Although you don’t expect to be famous like a man, if you learn some skills, at least you have a chance to gain a foothold. Do you understand?"

"Oh..." the little girl lowered her head when she heard the words, and her interest suddenly became much lower than before.

"Where are you from? Why did you enter the city?"

The city guard at the gate asked the mother and daughter as usual.

The woman glanced at the city gate, and sighed in her heart. It really is the place where Mr. Chen made his fortune. The gates of Liuzhou are different from those of Yunzhou, and they are also protected by the gate god. The scale is so different.

If Chen Qing was here, she would definitely smile wryly, this woman thinks too much.

Liuzhou’s city gates are at least large in scale. One reason is that the door god was established early, and the first generation of door god was the wolf king back then. He had high aptitude but he was old, so he upgraded quickly. Now he is at the highest level among Jiangnan forces. His door god is two grades higher than that of Nanyang City, so it is naturally different.

"Ah, this military lord, we are from Yunzhou, and this time we mainly brought my daughter here to take the Yin Yang Academy exam."

"Oh?" The soldier guarding the gate was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately looked at the mother and daughter, and his tone became much more respectful: "So you are a female gentleman, do you have an exam certificate?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The woman quickly took out a certificate with the outer skin of Yunzhou brocade cloth, opened it, and there was a seal of the art.

The soldier guarding the gate became more respectful after confirming, looked at the girl and said, "It's amazing, this kid doesn't look big, but he can pass the first test. I remember that there were 50 people participating in the first test in Yunzhou, and only 22 people were admitted. Tsk tsk, that's amazing, I have a distant relative in Yunzhou, and the child in my family is [-] this year, and that child has a reputation for success, it is said that he has never passed the first test this time."

"Really." The woman was stunned for a moment, swallowed her saliva: "Have you never done it before?"

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

Hearing this, the girl's depressed mood suddenly rose a lot.

The woman touched her daughter's hair in relief after hearing the words. If the child is lucky enough to pass the exam and enter the academy, she will feel relieved, and she can rest assured to find that heartless guy.

In fact, she vaguely guessed that the dead ghost should have a family, and it is not easy for a widow like herself to come to the door.

Being a concubine at home is an act of self-deprecation, and the daughter can't suffer along with it. If the mother is stupid, just let the mother bear it by herself.

Not long after the two mother and daughter entered the city, a woman in black also came outside the city. The woman in black was covering her face in broad daylight, which was very eye-catching in today's Jiangnan, a relatively open place. , 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 taking a look, she retreated quietly, all the way back to a boat at the pier.

"how?"

Inside the ship's cabin, dozens of women are the same as the masked woman, with black scarves covering their faces, disfigured and disfigured.

The woman who came in stuck out her tongue, it was like a snake letter, and it was still purple and black, which immediately made the two male guards next to her feel cold!
"According to the information and taste provided by Madam, yes, the mother and daughter have entered Liuzhou City now!"

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

"The gate of Liuzhou is weird." The woman whispered, "Not only is it incredibly tall, but the head of the wolf on the gate is alive. I can feel it watching me from a hundred feet away. It's going to cause turmoil, there are rumors that Liuzhou's city gates can identify demons, it seems to be true!"

"Is that so?" One of the women frowned, "Then why not Jiang Shang!"

"Do something on the river?" The leading woman snorted coldly: "Didn't you see the battle on the river? The boat the woman was on was an official ship of Yunzhou, and it is said that the escorts were all candidates for the exam of Liuzhou Yinyang College. There are also the guards of the Fighting God Army specially dispatched by Yunzhou. I looked at them from a distance. The soldiers on the ship were all powerful, at least at the level of fifth-rank martial arts, and the leading generals even reached third-rank !"

"This Chen Qing is not simple, the military strength under his hands is actually of such a level, no wonder the court has made such a big comeback this time!"

"Then how to fulfill Madam's order?" The woman next to her was a little anxious.

Everyone knows how harsh their wives are to their subordinates. The wives never treat anyone badly, but those who followed their wives from the Dilong Cave are now enjoying the resources that only the children of the aristocratic family can do, but the premise is that they can do good things. She is extremely jealous, and will do everything possible to torture any woman who dares to contaminate Lu Ming.

In the past few years, it's not that Lu Ming didn't protect him. He used various methods, such as entrusting his children or concubines to a certain lieutenant general, or a certain magician, but it was useless because of their earth dragon caves. The ground snake that came out had a sneak attack method that was extremely difficult to defend against.

For so many years, as long as Madam ordered them, they basically never lost their defense. The only time was that of Mu Hongqing.

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

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

"Watch it!" The leading woman said coldly: "The exam is always over, I've heard that in Chen Qing's power, the students from the Yin Yang Academy are highly valued, that's why they have that kind of protection." , Even if it is the Yin Yang College in Beijing, very few women can pass the exam, and the probability of the little girl failing the exam is even greater, and when the time comes to go back, there is a high probability that she will take an ordinary cargo ship, and we can start."

"Sister is right"

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and they don't want to experience that horrible side of Madam again.——
"My lord, Pang Shangshu, I have replied." Chen Ying came to Chen Qing's room and reported.

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

"I made a request that we return Yu Chipeng and release those [-] soldiers!"

Hearing this, Chen Qing rubbed her fingers silently, while the other hand tapped lightly on the table.

"What concerns does your lord have?" Chen Ying asked curiously.

After getting along for so long, she has roughly understood some of Chen Qing's habits, and whenever Chen Qing couldn't figure out something, she would look like this.

"It's understandable that Chaotang wants to return Yu Chipeng and the [-] troops. But" Chen Qing squinted: "Lu Ming also wants it."

"Your Excellency, what do you mean? Lu Ming. Has reached a cooperation with Pang Shangshu?"

"It's not realistic." Chen Qing shook her head: "Pang Shangshu represents the interests of the entire warlock family. Now that civil servants have finally gained the upper hand in the court, why should they cooperate with Lu Ming? What is left of Lu Ming today? Bing, if prestige is not prestige, to put it bluntly, you are a prodigal dog. In addition to getting a share of the pie, you also have to bear the risk that the other party may betray you halfway, which is not very meaningful."

"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's here, he won't do nothing, right? How long can the magic circle last?"

Chen Ying: "Five days, if you count the energy to do it, there are only three days."

"Looks like it's going to be forced." Chen Qing stood up: "Inform all of them that there will be a banquet tonight!"

"Yes"
