My wife, the eldest princess of the demon clan, I recite poems and become a sword god

Chapter 50 She Didn't Come Back

The moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured over the north and south of the river.

No matter how far apart people are, they can all see the same bright moon.

Going north from Qingquan Town, crossing the border of the Jin Dynasty, and then crossing the grasslands controlled by the six tribes of the Northern Barbarians, is the territory of the Demon Clan.

It's late autumn now.

The autumn leaves in Qingquan Town have not yet withered away, and the first snow has already fallen on the wasteland.

Magic City, Xueman City.

This is a huge city that can accommodate a million people. It stands on the wasteland and is also known as the city of miracles.

A turbulent river passes through the city, with its tributaries criss-crossing, and a majestic palace complex surrounds the center of the city.

Among them, there is a nine-story tower that overlooks the entire Xueman City.

The tower is completely black and made of stones. There are countless demon masters nearby to guard it.

This is the most important and crucial place in the whole palace.

Because this high tower is the office and residence of the current demon regent.

Every demonic citizen living in Xueman City has an almost common sense understanding.

Their king is the female queen who lives in the summer palace.

But the person who can really control their destiny is the regent on the tower.

That night, the area around the tower was as quiet as ever.

A tall black figure braved the wind and snow and walked towards the tower gate, deliberately lowering the sound of his footsteps.

Entering the tower, he walked to the observation deck on the top floor with ease, and then respectfully stood outside the entrance.

The young female official with good looks and slender figure enters the room and reports:

"My lord, please ask for an audience with Lord Canglan, the minister of the bodyguard."

"Let him in."

As the voice fell,

Lancang, who looked like a giant bear, bowed and walked into the observation deck, saluted the tall figure sitting in the corner, and then said concisely:
"Feng Kun was killed."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar in Tsing Yi turned over the book in his hand and said in a calm voice:
"understood."

His eyes never moved from the page, as if he heard something trivial.

Silence for a few breaths,

Seeing that the regent had no other instructions, Canglan took a few steps back, and then planned to leave.

But at this moment,
A voice as pleasant as a silver bell suddenly rang in his ears:

"Lord Canglan, stay here. I have something to ask you."

A girl wearing a voluptuous red dress walked out from behind the emerald screen with bare feet and a charming look.

The skin is better than snow, and the eyebrows are picturesque.

Every gesture and gesture is full of charm that touches the heart and soul.

If Li Cheng were here right now, he would probably be a little surprised.

Because the other party's face is nearly [-]% similar to his wife Xiang Yi.

The most obvious difference is that the extremely charming tear mole at the end of her eye is located under her left eye.

Just the opposite of Xiang Yi.

The moment he heard the voice, Cang Lan buried his head like a quail, not daring to take a peek at the other party.

At the same time, he replied respectfully:

"Whatever your Majesty wants to know, I will definitely tell you."

"It's actually nothing,"

The girl with long hair shawl stepped lightly on the bright red carpet step by step, with her flawless feet whiter than snow.

She walked to the middle-aged scholar, leaned over gently, and asked with a smile:
"Father, Wan'er is a little curious, who killed Feng Kun?"

Looking away from the page, the regent touched the girl's green hair lovingly:
"I told you a long time ago that when others are around, remember to call me Regent, Your Majesty."

The girl tilted her head slightly and smiled like a flower:

"Okay, my father."

The regent chuckled indifferently, then turned to look at Cang Lan:
"Have you brought Feng Kun's life stone?"

"Bring it, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he took out a black stone that was split in half from his arms and handed it to the regent through the female officer.

The regent held a scroll with yellowed writing in his right hand, and two gravels in his left hand, turning them like a walnut plate.

After dozens of breaths,

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes imperceptibly.

Putting the stone aside casually, the regent looked at Cang Lan with deep eyes:

"It's hard work, go down and rest."

"Subordinates retire."

After Cang Lan left with relief, the regent stood up, but still did not put down the book in his hand.

When the girl saw this, she smiled brightly and her cheeks were filled with anger:
"Father, is this book so beautiful?"

"Yes." The regent nodded slightly, confirming.

The girl then stood up, raised a pretty face that was both angry and happy, and asked pretending to be serious:

"Then, compared with your daughter, which book is more beautiful?"

"There is no comparison," replied the Regent politely.

"Cut," the girl sat on the chair where the other party had just got up, looked at the night snow falling outside, and said in a fit of anger:
"I don't know what my mother liked about you back then..."

Closing the book casually, the regent put it aside, did not answer, but said otherwise:

"The person who killed Feng Kun was a master of the fifth level Tongxuan Realm."

"Ok?"

After stopping her musings, the girl blinked her peach blossom eyes twice, and a charming smile appeared on her lips:
"Crossing the border to fight back? Interesting. Could it be my cheap brother-in-law who did it..."

Hearing his daughter's unintentional words, the regent couldn't help but think deeply about it.

For a moment, he thought of the secret letter Dong Qiang sent to Xueman City and the impassioned boy's song.

Suddenly, remembering some past events from ten years ago, the regent seemed to be talking to himself:

"I seem to know who this Li Xiaobu is."

"Who is it?" The girl hurriedly asked after hearing the words, but her own father just smiled and did not answer.

"Humph, we have to meet sooner or later anyway. I will ask him myself then."

After saying this, the girl stood up from the chair and left the observation deck with the maid without looking back.

With a faint smile on his face, the regent looked back at the well-named Xueman City and spoke slowly:
"Yi'er, hasn't she come out of seclusion yet?"

After a while, a hoarse voice came from the cold air:

"Not yet. It will probably be a few days later than expected, but it's not a big deal."

"That's good." After a moment of silence, the Regent said expressionlessly into the windy and snowy night:
"Thoroughly investigate the front office of the palace, arrest those who deserve to be arrested, and kill those who deserve to be killed."

"As ordered."

……

……

In the small courtyard of Qingquan Town.

The frosty moonlight shone on Li Cheng's calm face.

A green sea creature flew from the forest and landed on the arm of Uncle Tai who was standing aside.

After taking off the letter paper tied with the eagle's claws, Uncle Tai squinted his eyes slightly and said:
"Young hero, those Confucian people haven't left yet and are searching for suspicious persons from house to house."

"Well," Li Cheng nodded casually after hearing this and continued:

"With Ye Liyan's status, he is destined not to stay here for long. Just survive this period."

Uncle Tai nodded in deep agreement.

Over the years, the entire Qingquan Town has been under their control.

If he didn't want Ye Liyan and the others to find the small courtyard, it would be useless unless the other party personally led people to search.

Looking up at the bright moonlight, Uncle Tai hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him:

"Young hero, the hour is almost over."

When midnight passes, it means that the next day has arrived.

Li Cheng heard this and said softly, "Hmm."

The seven-day appointment has passed.

Xiao Yi couldn't make it back after all.
