Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 444 The Grand Finale (2)
When they finally had enough to eat and drink, the night was already very deep, but it was so late at night, everything should have been completely silent, but today they could hear the faint noise in the village. It was very lively.

Li Ergou's body was carried down from the mountain by the villagers, which caused a lot of commotion along the way. The villagers who should have rested all opened their doors and came out one after another, asking what happened.

In the courtyard of Duanmu's house, Ning Qing was sitting with Duanmu Tian, ​​asking softly: "Tian Tian, ​​what happened?"

Duanmutian gave the little baby a hand to take a bath, and then told his mother about the matter in a soft voice. Ning Qing couldn't help but his expression fluctuated for a while, and then finally let out a long breath, reached out and patted her hand , said: "Leave Xiao Wuyou to me, and you go talk to Xiuran."

"He's fine."

"Go."

She looked up at Jun Xiuran who was sitting on the roof looking at the bustling direction of the village over there, then nodded and handed over the little baby who was having fun playing in the wooden basin to her mother, got up and walked under the eaves and jumped onto the roof.

He turned his head to look at her with soft eyes, then at the little guy playing in the water in the yard, and smiled happily with his eyebrows raised.

uh-huh?Did Tian Tian put down the little guy for the time being and come looking for him?How touching, since the baby was born, he has hardly enjoyed such treatment again!

His eyes couldn't help flickering, watching her walk in front of him, watching her sit down beside him, watching her pink lips slightly shy... He stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms .

"Tiantian, why are you here too?"

"Mother said, let me comfort you."

"Mother-in-law is really understanding."

Hearing this, she couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at him, then quietly snuggled into his arms, and also turned her eyes to the brightly lit place over there.

Soon, a figure flashed over. It was Bai Feng who had inquired about the news from there, appeared on the roof, and said respectfully: "Master, Princess, I have already inquired clearly. It is said that Li Ergou was killed by a poisonous snake on the mountain." Killed."

"Huh? Killed by a poisonous snake?"

"Yes! The subordinate went to check again when no one was paying attention, and indeed found that there were teeth marks of a poisonous snake on his body, and it was right at the heart."

Duanmutian couldn't help raising her eyebrows. At that time, she was anxious to find Jun Xiuran. Although she also carefully examined Li Ergou's body, she didn't take off his clothes for inspection in detail. She just saw that his body was black and obviously poisoned. He didn't think much about it, he just thought it was the blue-eyed fox who happened to meet the unlucky Li Ergou and killed him.

Listening to what Bai Feng said now, couldn't it be the hands of the blue-eyed fox?

She turned to look at Jun Xiuran, but he didn't show any surprise, he just said: "I heard screams coming from the mountain by the river in the evening, so I went up to check, and I happened to see that Li Ergou was lying down. On the ground, another green figure flashed into the forest, it was indeed the blue-eyed fox who killed someone."

That person was covered in poison, and it didn't seem strange to have a poisonous snake hidden around him. At any rate, there was a person beside them who kept a poisonous snake as a pet, and she was a beautiful girl.

But since it was considered to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake, it saved him trouble, Jun Xiuran soon lost interest in that side, and went back to sleep in his room with his wife in his arms.

They lived in Sanshi Village for ten days. During these ten days, Mo Chenxuan was sent back by Ning Qing, and Bu Yan was about to go back to the Yu Clan. Princess Buyan sent back to the Yu Clan, anyone could see what she was planning to do with this order.

Although the two were unwilling, they didn't say much, they just snorted at each other and left like two fighting cocks.

So only Ning Qing, Jun Xiuran and Duanmu Tian were left in Sanshi Village, as well as a guard and a maid who accompanied Ning Qing. Even Bai Feng disappeared. According to Jun Xiuran, he went to Zi Xiashan looked at the Holy Flame Fruit.

Of course, during these ten days, Li Ergou was also buried, and his death did not cause trouble to Duanmutian and the others, and no one even showed sadness because of his death, not even his mother. It didn't seem very sad.

When Li Ergou was alive, he had nothing to do all day long, doing all kinds of evil things like stealing chickens and dogs, watching girls and women bathing, but now that he is dead, no one talks about him.

For the past ten days, Ning Qing has been wandering around the yard every day, occasionally going around the surrounding areas, as if he was going to go and see all the roads and scenery that his husband and children have traveled, Duanmu Tian didn't stop him, but let the servant girl wait on her.

Ten days later, a large number of people appeared in this small village again, but they did not disturb the people in the village, but quietly entered Sanshi Village in the dead of night.

"Master, what is your order for calling us here in such a hurry?"

Among the visitors, there were unexpectedly Zhang Yi and others who were supposed to be in the capital. Obviously, they had received a message from their master, Feige, and rushed over day and night.

Jun Xiuran glanced at the group of loyal subordinates in front of him one by one, and suddenly felt a little more relaxed, and said, "This time you are called here, there is a mission that concerns the life of the king, and I want to leave it to you!"

Everyone couldn't help being shocked, and said in a deep voice: "Please tell me, master!"

He pointed in the direction of Zixia Mountain, and said, "There is a valley on that mountain peak, and a flower vine grows in the valley. Your task is to protect the flower vine for the next period of time and prevent anyone from approaching it."

Just this task?
All the subordinates couldn't help being stunned, and then looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to hide their surprise.The task related to the master's life is to protect a flower vine and not allow anyone to approach it?
Zhang Yi's expression changed suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Master, could it be that..."

Jun Xiuran nodded and said, "So, before the fruit is ripe, no one should be allowed to approach it."

"Yes!"

Duanmutian was sitting next to him, and when he heard this, he also said: "Before he left, Bu Yan said that the fruit is blue in the first year, bright yellow in the second year, and turns red in the third year. It grows rapidly. I see that the fruit on Zixia Mountain has a little red in the yellow, and it seems to be the third year."

"Three years?" Zhang Yi was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Does it take three years for the fruit to mature?"

"That's right, so you should be thankful that the fruit has grown for the third year, otherwise you would have lived in the wilderness for three full years!"
