Seeing that the evil rat demon had been eliminated, the county magistrate invited Bai Yu and Su Jinhua to have tea in the Yamen. Bai Yu declined, not wanting to waste time, and asked the county magistrate to close the case as soon as possible and report it to the demon eradication department so that he could get contribution points.
After that, Bai Yu and Su Jinhua rode the Huohuang horse and Yanchi horse and prepared to leave.
"Have a safe trip, Immortal Master!"
"I wish the immortal master and the fairy will have a son soon."...
I don’t know who took the lead first, but the people on the street applauded enthusiastically and watched the two people with reverence.
After all, it is located in a remote place. Maybe they have never seen a demon slayer before and thought that all demon slayers are so handsome and graceful, and their beauty is different from ordinary people. Or maybe they have never seen such colorful and gaudy methods...
"Brother Bai Yu, in addition to your talent for naming, you have also mastered the power of the wind, and you can follow your words. I feel that even a second-grade military attache named Daddy can't beat you."
Su Jinhua smiled sweetly, and the admiration in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed.
"..." Bai Yu thought about it briefly, and it was really true.
Theoretically speaking, as long as he knows the opponent's name, he can keep calling the name and make the opponent "stand still". No matter how high the opponent's cultivation level or strength is, he can only stare...
While making the opponent stand still, he can use [Wind Control] to blow the opponent hard; he can also use [Demon Slayer], [Claw Strike], [Tiger Roar] and other skills to show off.
Even if you can't break through the opponent's body defense, you can still make the opponent miserable.
"Am I already invincible?"
Bai Yu was a little confused.
Thinking about it carefully, I felt something was wrong.
It's just theoretically invincible when fighting alone, and it only works if the enemy is upright and he strikes first.
What if the other party strikes first? A few miles away, a flying sword kills him. Who can he reason with?
What if the other party comes secretly? On the night of his wedding to Jinhua, give him a knife to gouge out his heart, and he will stop crying.
Or, pour ten kilograms of arsenic in his food to make his eyes turn white and his mouth foam. Of course, it is best not to pour so much. He will eat it, and colorless and odorless poison is best.
Also, what if the opponent has no martial ethics, is powerful, and brings a group of masters to beat him?
It is impossible for him to know everyone's name in advance, and even if he knew it, it would be useless. He only has one mouth. There are so many masters, and he can't even call them by name. If he clicks on this one, that one will move.
Bai Yu shuddered after thinking about this.
Weak.
helpless.
This world is too dangerous.
Of course, in front of Jinhua, Bai Yu didn't want to damage his handsome and elegant image. He couldn't show his vulnerability. He couldn't talk about a man's suffering~
Bai Yu said modestly, "Your father and I will be on a 50-50 basis."
Su Jinhua was filled with a sweet smile, "Dad is getting old, and the second-grade military attaché has come to an end. Brother Bai Yu is still young and still has potential."
Bai Yu could only smile, but it was difficult to answer. Jinhua, you praised brother Bai Yu so much. Brother Bai Yu was happy in his heart, but you can't say that to Mr. Hou, he will be sad.
Arrive at the dock, take the official boat, return to the Jingzhao Prefecture Demon Slayer Division to hand in the case, take the case, seamless connection, that's liver.
The old man with the goat's white beard was naturally surprised. The two of them completed the one-star mission so quickly, but they also completed the two-star mission so quickly. It seems that the two of them have great potential. It is estimated that it won't take long to become a four-star or above.
A high-level demon slayer.
When Bai Yu and Su Jinhua came out of the Demon Slayer Department, they saw the fifth prince and Ning Yi riding up, followed by dozens of mounted guards.
"Meet the Fifth Prince."
Bai Yu first bowed his hands to the fifth prince, and then smiled and bowed his hands to Ning Yi, "Brother Ning."
He did not think that he was their friend just because he had "talked and laughed" with them a few days ago.
"Why are you so polite? We came here specially to see you."
The fifth prince stood up and dismounted with a gentle smile, and held Bai Yu's hands affectionately, "As for your relationship with Jinhua, you will have to call me cousin in the future. You don't have to be so polite in your own family."
Damn it... Bai Yu's face was a little stiff. He was really not used to being held by a man so kindly, and he didn't want to get used to it. He smiled stiffly and said, "The fifth prince is a royal nobleman after all, how can he be rude?"
"I'm most annoyed by these red tapes."
The fifth prince smiled and let go of Bai Yu's hands, then put his hands on his shoulders, "Let's go play together."
Su Jinhua wrinkled her nose and said in a calm tone, "Fifth Prince, don't lead Brother Bai Yu astray. We still have a case, and Brother Bai Yu doesn't have time to play with you."
The fifth prince looked at her with a serious face, "Jinhua, why are you so ignorant? I heard that the two of you are crazy about taking cases day and night. The dynasty has a vast territory and countless cases. People always need to rest. Xian
If it's too tight, it will break sooner or later."
After a pause, the fifth prince continued, "You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jinnan and a relative of the emperor. You have no glory and wealth. You will have a good life in the future. Why do you need to work so hard?"
Su Jinhua stopped talking. In fact, she also felt that taking the case was too hard. She also wanted to go shopping, travel and have fun with Brother Bai Yu, but Brother Bai Yu was so motivated that she couldn't persuade her.
Bai Yu said, "It is precisely because Jinhua is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jinnan that I have to work harder, otherwise there would be no match for her."
"Look at what you said, too much humility is too proud."
The fifth prince faced Bai Yu with a straight face, "I know your true identity. You are a perfect match for the Marquis of Jinnan. Why do you need to say this?"
Do you already know? Bai Yu was shocked. Only Zheng Tong knew his "true identity", or was it a false identity? What did the fifth prince know?
Ning Yi also smiled and persuaded, "You have just arrived in the Imperial City. It is not good for you to be alone all the time. You need to interact more with the upper circles of the Imperial City."
Not long after arriving in the imperial city... Bai Yu pondered over the words of Ning Yi and the fifth prince, and seemed to have checked his life experience and "know" something.
Could it be that he casually said that he was "Zheng Tongyizi" and the two of them found out?
At that time, when he said this, only Jinhua and Pei Jin were present. Jinhua was with him every day. It must not have been spread by Jinhua, but it must have been Pei Jin?
Good guy! The fifth prince and Ning Yi must have mistakenly thought that he was Zheng Tongyi's son, the eldest son of the current dynasty, so they came to the Demon Slayer Department to look for him with such enthusiasm.
You must know that the eldest princess of the current dynasty was not an ordinary princess. The old emperor had many daughters, and she was not much loved. There was only one biological sister with a large age gap, who was extremely noble.
We can see the clues from the title of the eldest princess, which is "Princess Daqian". Which princess in the past dynasties can get such an obviously unreasonable title?
It is said that a nobleman with the title of viscount was probably too busy at night and did not sleep well. When he bowed to the eldest princess and saluted, he accidentally yawned. A hostile official took a copy of it and said it was disrespectful to the eldest princess.
, his home was confiscated by the old emperor's order, and he was exiled to Beihuang to become cannon fodder.
There is a reason why the old emperor loves the eldest princess so much.
On the one hand, she is the only biological sister; on the other hand, it is more important.
The mother of the old emperor and the eldest princess was a palace maid. The palace maid climbed onto the dragon couch and had the lowest status among the concubines in the palace. The brother and sister were often bullied in the palace when they were two children, and they depended on each other for life.
I don’t know why, but according to the imperial edict left by the late emperor, the old emperor was surprised by the throne. When he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he promoted his only sister to the sky. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he directly named her "Da Qian". The eldest princess is the old emperor's inverse scale, and she will die if she touches her.
Bai Yu has been in the Demon Slayer Division for more than two months, and has gradually learned about the relationship between Zheng Tong, Zheng Yan'er and the eldest princess. Zheng Yan'er is not actually the princess.
When Zheng Tong was young, his first wife died early, leaving only Zheng Yan'er as a daughter. However, the eldest princess fell in love with Zheng Tong at a glance among the many young talents. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman, it was all based on feelings.
The old emperor didn't like Zheng Tong who was a slut, but he couldn't resist the eldest princess' liking. In the end, he had no choice but to accept Zheng Tong as his consort.
Fortunately, Zheng Tong is also up to his standards and has become the mainstay of the Demon Slayer Department with his own abilities. Moreover, there is a vague tendency to become the next Surgeon of the Demon Slayer Department, so he is not worthy of the eldest princess.
Zheng Tong cheated, no, his adoptive father cheated!... Bai Yu could only sigh like this.
At the same time, Bai Yu also wanted to understand something.
Because the daughter of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice was a concubine, and her status in the harem was not low, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice was able to confront Zheng Tong when he was investigating the case in Linfu County, and he was at a disadvantage.
If he were an ordinary official, he would not dare to confront Zheng Tong, which made Zheng Tong feel unhappy, so he had some fun with the eldest princess. The eldest princess ran to the old emperor to complain, and the person disappeared immediately, so this level The relationship is so powerful.
so.
The fifth prince came to the Demon Slayer Department specifically to make friends with Bai Yu, and he probably also took a fancy to this "non-existent" relationship.
Just imagine, if Bai Yu, the "adopted son", said good things to the fifth prince to Zheng Tong, and Zheng Tong chatted with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess fully supported the fifth prince to become the prince, would the fifth prince's hope be increased by three? point?
The old emperor is in his twilight years, and there is not much time left. For the princes chasing the crown prince, even if they can only increase their hopes a little, they will break their brains and manage personal connections.
