The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 20

In the middle of the night, Lianshan City.

"Get people out!" The owner of the restaurant fiddled with the abacus in his hand, and looked at the drunk man in the lobby with disgust, "Tell him that we are going to close."

"Hey, that's good!" Qin Fu, the waiter who did the chores, followed the line of sight of the shopkeeper, and scratched his head a little irritably, it was this person again.

The man is a frequent visitor here, a big alcoholic who sold his wife and children because of his alcoholism, and everyone who knows him keeps him at a respectful distance, for fear of being involved in the relationship.

All in all, he can be regarded as a character that everyone shouts and beats.

Qin Fu called a few people in the restaurant to team up and throw him outside. After the others turned and left, he was about to leave. Seeing the man lying on the ground still talking nonsense with his flagon in his arms, he hesitated for a while, or Crouch down and try to wake the person up.

"Lao Ye, Lao Ye, wake up! You should go home!"

The arm supporting the man shook a few times, the man opened his eyes in a daze, and patted his hand away: "Go back, go home." He stood up after speaking.

Seeing the man staggering away, Qin Fu sighed, turned around and bolted the door of the restaurant.

It was very late, and there were no people on the street.The lanterns on both sides of the road hang quietly, shaking a few times when the wind blows, and even the candles inside flicker.

"puff"

A black whirlwind suddenly blew up outside the restaurant, and the two wind lamps hung by the door jumped twice and went out, and the black wind swirled towards the direction where the drunk left.

……

Someone from the red fox clan disappeared, and someone found the red fox in Lianshan City that night. The connection between the two made people wonder.

Hu Cuo also suspected from this that the missing clansman was the one who appeared in Lianshan City.

The problem is that although the red fox lineage is not particularly close to the human race, it is the only monster that can accept the coexistence of the two races and does not have much hostility towards the human race.

Moreover, this period of time is too unstable, and the world situation is gradually showing signs of chaos.So what Hu Cuo is afraid of is not forming a bridge with the human race, but worrying that his own people will be used by people with intentions and become pawns in other people's schemes.

You Miao didn't recognize the clansman Hu Cuo mentioned, and when he heard this, he first looked at Xing Ji.

Xing Ji didn't know about this, he had been to Senqiu since last night, but he could easily detect something wrong just by listening to Hu Cuo's description.

"The timing of this is delicate."

"It's really subtle", You Miao also felt the same way. Not long ago, there was news that he had injured the guards of the city lord's mansion in Lianshan City. Now is the time when the situation between the two clans is tense, and the red fox clan has hurt people again. This has to make people think about connecting two things together.

In addition, the protagonists of the two incidents, whether it is You Miao or the Chihu tribe, are all the peacemakers with a clear stand among the several major monsters in Senqiu. In this way, the purpose of the people behind the scenes is obvious, "Someone is targeting us. "

Hu Cuo sighed: "There are always people who are restless and like to stir up water everywhere."

Among the monster race, there is no one who is naturally close to the human race.You Miao advocates peace because of his childhood experience, while Hu Cuo hates fighting, and feels that everyone is living in harmony, which is something he can accept more than endless wars.

But after all, the two are a minority of aliens. Among the Yaozu, there are more fighters who are defiant and indifferent, and neutral factions who don't care whether they fight or not.

It is also for this reason that over the years, You Miao and Hu Cuo have often been ridiculed by the warlike monsters in Senqiu, but they don't care much about it.

In order to find out what exactly happened, You Miao changed her mind and followed her to Lianshan City.

The speed of the four was not slow, and they arrived at the gate of the city very quickly.Xing Ji saw Lin Yan on the tower, said something to You Miao, and walked up to the tower.

Hu Cuo followed and stopped, looking suspiciously at the direction Xing Ji left, "What is God of War going to do?"

You Miao: "Find someone to inquire about the fox demon."

Lin Yan, as the general of Lianshan City, must have known about such a big event in the city.

Sure enough, Xing Ji came back soon, and to Yu Miao's questioning gaze, he said, "The person in charge of this matter is Wu Bianrou. Lin Yan is not very clear about what is going on."

After all, it happened just last night, and the investigation was not so fast.

After entering the city, a few people went straight to the place where the crime happened. You Miao originally thought it would be an alley or something where few people would go at night, but it was only when they arrived that they found out that it was on the street.

When the four of them arrived, Wu Bianrou was nearby, she saw You Miao and Xing Ji coming together, she didn't show too much surprise except that her eyes lingered on the two of them for a while.

The tit-for-tat confrontation when they first met is still vivid in her memory, but now she can treat You Miao very peacefully.Compared with a demon emperor who is not dangerous for the time being, she is more worried about the person behind the scenes who hides in the dark and wants to provoke a war between the two clans.

After all, it is easy to hide a sharp spear and hard to defend against a hidden arrow, and it is even more dangerous to cower and hide in unknown places secretly to trip people up.

The place where the accident happened was the busiest street in Lianshan City, so when someone was attacked by a fox and fell to the ground, they were quickly discovered.

The person who died was a local alcoholic. There were many people who witnessed the red fox jumping off the man while biting, so in just one morning, all the news that should have been spread was spread out.

Wu Bianrou had no choice but to block it this time.

So when Xing Ji asked about the news, she didn't hide anything, "There was a lot of commotion at midnight last night, and several nearby households heard the noise."

At that time, he boldly opened the window and looked out, and was almost stepped on his face by the fox, but the speed was too fast, he only had time to see a dark red light flashing, when he found the fox fur on the window lattice of his house the next day Only then did I realize that what I saw last night was a fox.

Wu Bianrou took a few people to look at the few fox furs she found. She had noticed two unfamiliar faces, but because You Miao and Xing Ji didn't seem to want to introduce them, she didn't ask much.

She doesn't care if a demon emperor comes to the city, what else is she afraid of?

Fox hair was also found on the dead man, You Miao followed Wu Bianrou, saw a large bloodstain on the street, and asked, "Where is that man now?"

There was a lot of blood on the ground, and there were some broken pieces of meat nearby. The situation was quite tragic.

Wu Yanrou walked under a newly erected pergola in the shade, and ordered someone to bring things over, "The City Lord's Mansion has a special place for storing corpses, but I don't think this person seems to need it."

You Miao frowned and looked at the marks left on the ground, "He was eaten?"

Wu Yanrou took a deep breath, "Only what we can see now remains."

At this moment, a guard came in, holding a wooden tray in his hand, Wu Bianrou turned around, pointed to the tray and said, "Almost forgot, there are those."

On the tray were pieces of clothing, and a few red hairs from the stain.

It was also because of these clothes that they were able to learn who the dead person was from a nearby restaurant.

"That's it..." Wu Bianrou signaled the guards to put the tray in front of You Miao and Xing Ji, and was about to ask them if they could find any clues after reading it, when she saw the person behind You Miao who hadn't spoken Grab the fox fur from the tray.

Wu Bianrou was startled, this is the most important clue.

Hu Cuo squeezed the fox fur in his hand and rubbed it, then nodded to You Miao, "This is it."

With an idea in mind, You Miao looked at Wu Bianrou and said to her, "The fox you found last night should belong to the Chihu tribe."

Wu Bianrou frowned, did she know each other?

You Miao pointed at Hu Cuo beside him, and explained: "The demon king of the red fox clan, these fox hairs belong to a missing member of his clan."

Wu Bianrou was stunned when she heard the words, and turned her head stiffly after a while, Demon Emperor?Another one?

You Miao was silent for a while, and noticed that Wu Bianrou's face was gradually turning pale, and thought it would be better to add another sentence, "Hu Cuo and I are friends, he is not a person who will provoke disputes at will."

They are not people who provoke right and wrong at will, that is to say, they will not pose any threat to them now.

"·······", Wu Yanrou didn't know what to say anymore, Senqiu has a total of seven demon kings, and today, two of them even came to the mountain city, how can she rest assured?

But because of You Miao's words, she also understood that the group of people should have come here for the fox last night, so they were considered to be in the same camp for the time being.

Wu Yanrou quickly calmed down, hurriedly dismissed the guards, and looked at Long Jie with a very cryptic look, "Who is this?"

I can't be a demon emperor again...

Hu Cuo still smiled, "He is my man, he can be trusted."

Ryusuke originally lowered his head, but when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Hu Cuo.

Wu Bianrou didn't notice the undercurrents between the two of them. Since they were just subordinates, it would be fine. She found the narration records of those who saw the fox with their own eyes last night, and handed it to Hu Cuo to watch, and asked again worriedly. : "Are you sure it's your clan?"

The more Hu Cuo looked, the more certain he was. The missing member of the tribe had already been able to transform into a human form, and he had an obvious characteristic, that is, the color of his fur was darker than that of other tribesmen, and the end was glowing with golden light. the same.

Now that he was sure, Wu Yanrou's face turned serious, "That means, it was the Chihu people who attacked our people in Lianshan City last night."

Hu Cuo fell silent. Although everyone present knew that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, he could not refute it, so he could only promise: "I will arrest him and ask him clearly."

Wu Bianrou nodded expressionlessly, watched them leave, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect this demon emperor to be quite easy to talk to.

The talkative Hu Cuo followed behind You Miao solemnly, and Xing Ji asked him, "As a demon emperor, can't you sense where your clansmen are?"

He remembered that not long ago You Miao caught Qingtan in Hongxiang Pavilion by relying on this.

It's okay not to mention this, but when this is mentioned, Hu Cuo's face becomes even more ugly, "I can't sense him."

The power of blood induction is not omnipotent, if the distance between the two is too far, it will not be able to sense it.

It stands to reason that as long as that clansman is still in Lianshan City, Hu Cuo can find out.But the problem was that as early as the moment he stepped into the city gate, he was sure that there were no traces of the red fox tribe in the city.

There are two reasons for this, either the clansman has left the city, or there is something on him that can hide the power of his blood.

If he couldn't find someone directly, the matter fell into a passive state. Coupled with the Wuqing incident before, it was obvious that someone wanted to sow discord.

Hu Cuo: "I have to find him quickly, in case this is just a warning, if I don't find him for a day, I don't know what disaster will happen later."

You Miao also felt the same way, after all, he himself was involved, "Who do you think is behind these things?"

No matter he or Hu Cuo's tribe, the only thing they have in common is that in the struggle between the three tribes, they belong to the side of peace.From this point of view, it is not difficult to guess who will pick things up.

When Hu Cuo mentioned this, his face was full of disdain: "Who else could it be? It must be that dead fish!"

The dead fish refers to Fanyu, the Lord of Boshui, and he and Buzhou, the Lord of Huanxiu, are the only two main battlers among the seven demon kings in Senqiu.

The rest are Hong Yi, the master of Zong Yu, Bai Li, the master of Howling Tiger, and Lan Pu, the master of Hundred Flowers. Their attitudes towards the two races of humans and gods are ambiguous, and it doesn't matter whether they are fighting or fighting.

Of course, another reason why Hu Cuo said Fan Yu's name so simply was that he and Fan Yu couldn't understand each other.

Although it is far from the point of life and death, but the grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and the two of them can't appear in the same place at the same time, otherwise there will be chaos.

Their grievances even spread to the friends around each other, and because of their different positions, Fan Yu's attitude towards You Miao is not very good, and it has almost reached the point where they will target you everywhere when they meet.

Back and forth, Hu Cuo is also particularly displeased with the lack of good relations with Fan Yu.

Generally speaking, the four people are divided into two camps, and they are inseparable from each other.

The other three were alone and did not wade into this muddy water.

So when it comes to people who may be unfavorable to him, the first thing Hu Cuo thinks of is Fan Yu, "That dead fish has long disliked us, and I'm afraid it has long been thinking about how to sly us."
