Chapter 245 The Rat Demon Transforms Into a Girl, and Li Nuo Makes a Date with the Consort
The King of Yan, who was a dignified general on the frontier and commanded a hundred thousand troops, was of impure blood. This was a big killer. Li Nuo did not point it out directly. He only said that King Yan and the demon clan were suspected of being in cahoots with each other.
Beiyue Feihuai, who didn't like to use his brain very much and just liked to push with his sword, frowned this time and pondered for a long time before he said: "Now there are millions of monsters in Liangjie Mountain and they are eyeing our Central Plains Dynasty. As the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, King Yan is not clear with the Monster Clan. This does have hidden dangers. However, he is His Majesty's second prince. If the censor uses this matter to interfere with him, he is probably asking for trouble. Who in the world can I don’t believe that the prince who has reached the peak of power will join the demon clan and work for the demon clan, for what purpose?”
Beiyue Feihuai is still too upright, unaware of the sinister nature of people's hearts.
Are there not many cases where father and son turn against each other and brothers fight over that position?
Li Nuo shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Beiyue, if you believe me, try to stay as far away from King Yan as possible. That is a gunpowder keg. It will explode at one point, and anyone who gets close to him will be blown to pieces."
Beiyue Feihuai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the powder keg?"
"Well... you can think that King Yan is covered with [Thunderstorm Talisman] all over his body. Once it is ignited, the consequences will not only be that he will be wiped out in ashes, but also all things in the red land will be ashes."
Li Nuo made a fairly vivid metaphor.
Beiyue Feihuai naturally knew the power of [Thunderstorm Talisman]. He nodded and said: "I believe you. But your words are just family words. My family will not believe it. How about I take you back and give you What about those stubborn old men at home?”
Li Nuo waved his hand: "That's fine, this is your Beiyue family's business. I only remind you because you are my friend."
Beiyue Feihuai was convinced: "You are right, and there is no need to lie to me. Then I will go back and discuss it with my family. If they are still stubborn, then I will think of other ways."
"You just have to know it yourself. By the way, do you want to go to the prison to meet your cousin and aunt?"
Li Nuo said that he still wanted to give him this face.
Beiyue Feihuai shook his head and rejected Li Nuo's kindness: "Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. It's okay to lock them up for a few days, so as not to bully others and cause trouble for the family every day."
"Okay, then I'll lock them up for three days."
"Well, then you work first. After you finish working on the water seepage case in the Imperial Tomb, we can come out to have a drink together."
…
After sending Bei Yue Fei Huai away, Li Nuo counted the time and found that Da Heikui would not come back for a while. There was no movement in the Prince Consort's Mansion, and King Qin did not summon him in the palace, which suddenly made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Of course he knew how bad his reputation in the court was, but now that he had done such a big thing, why didn't a few people sue him?
Which link is the problem?
King Qin, who was sitting in the imperial study, didn't think about it. After waiting for so long, not even a single courtier came to the palace to complain. Is Princess Taiping so unpopular?
Something is wrong!
It was okay for the officials of other departments to be silent, but it was a bit strange that there was no movement from the Ministry of Rites and the Yushitai.
Li Nuo sent Princess Taiping to the prison without obtaining the imperial edict, which violated etiquette. When he beat and imprisoned the Crown Prince of Wu, there was a huge commotion in the court. The Ministry of Rites shouted the loudest. Could it be that a direct relative, Princess Taiping, was not as good as the Crown Prince's son?
There are also Yushitai, these officials who claim to be pure, aloof and arrogant, who are always ready to remonstrate, and who are caught yelling at the emperor. Why are they dumb?
Youshi.
Sanya.
As soon as Li Nuo walked out of the prison, he saw Dahei Kui coming to report that everything was settled and that Zhang Dali was willing to keep the appointment.
Li Nuo asked if everything went well, Daheikui looked embarrassed, and finally told the truth, saying that Zhang Dali was willing to go to the appointment because of the hundred gold reward.
Li Nuo laughed it off.
After all, he and Zhang Dali have no superior-subordinate relationship, so it is normal for people not to give him face. Fortunately, Zhang Dali was willing to talk to him for the sake of money, which made him relieved.
The Ye Changqing case, which has been investigated for so long, has finally reached the most critical stage.
Once it is found out who caused this unjust case, Li Nuo will definitely not let the mastermind go.
Return to the west part of the city.
A white shadow suddenly flew out with a "swish", which startled Daheikui.
Li Nuo thought there was a thief in the house and was about to draw his knife, but he immediately lowered his guard and a smile appeared on his face.
"Uncle, the treasure hunter has woken up!"
Qiluo hurried over with her skirt in hand, excitement on her pretty face.
At this time, the treasure-hunting mouse had jumped into Li Nuo's arms and asked for a hug.
Li Nuo touched the head of the white mouse: "You little guy finally woke up, but it doesn't look like much has changed."
After looking carefully, I found that the rat demon had grown slightly in size, and its hair was whiter and brighter.
Qiluo said with a smile: "Uncle, the treasure-hunting rat can transform!"
"Then take a look."
Li Nuo was also a little curious.
The incarnation of the demon clan is not an easy task. In particular, the aesthetics of the Yaozu have always been poor, and most of the images after their incarnation are crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
Upon receiving the order, the treasure-hunting mouse jumped down, puffed its mouth, and instantly transformed into the appearance of a four- or five-year-old girl with two pigtails, looking cute and adorable.
"Sir, what does the little demon look like after its incarnation? Are you satisfied, sir?"
A little girl speaks in a flattering adult tone, which is really a bit embarrassing.
Li Nuo was very uncomfortable: "Ahem, you'd better stop talking."
Treasure Hunter suddenly felt aggrieved.
And because of this grievance, the tears couldn't stop dripping down.
"Xiao Bai, it's not good for you to be like this. As a [sixth-level incarnation realm] rat demon, how can you cry whenever you want? You have to be strong. I want to take you to hunt for treasures in a few days. You How can I find a good treasure with such a weak temperament?"
The treasure hunter immediately wiped away her tears. Just as she was about to speak, Li Nuo glared at her. She had no choice but to shut up and nodded desperately.
The big black Kui at the side looked at the treasure-hunting rat for a long time, and asked with sparkling light in his eyes: "Rat demon, are you really the [sixth-level incarnation realm]?"
"Where did you come from? Didn't you see that this demon has transformed into a human being? Can you transform before you reach the sixth level? Where is your brain?"
The treasure-hunting mouse was deprived of the right to speak by Li Nuo and could only squat on the ground and write.
After eating so many of Ye Qingyu's calligraphy and painting treasures, this treasure-hunting mouse has mastered the ability of human writing. This is also the characteristic of treasure-hunting mice. As long as it eats the treasures, it can inherit part of the treasure's abilities.
Daheikui didn't take it seriously, and said with a naive smile: "Great! The demon clan's physical body is on par with that of a martial artist. Let's go, how many moves can we have?"
The treasure-hunting mouse had a disdainful face and straightened his hand in regular script: "Do you believe I can defeat this demon in three moves?"
Dahei Kui Le said: "You have just been promoted to the sixth level. I have been immersed in the sixth level for five years. It is not that easy for you to win against me."
The treasure hunter looked at Li Nuo and wrote another line: "Sir, can I beat him?"
Li Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If you want to compete, go to the backyard, but don't go too far, and don't destroy the flowers and plants."
One person and one demon immediately ran to the backyard to spar.
Daheikui was naturally superior in strength and endurance, but the treasure-hunting rat had strange magical powers, and it was hard to tell the winner for a while. However, their discussion quickly attracted the attention of the horse demon.
Another sparring punchbag came, the old horse demon Dale, put down his work of making wine and joined the battle. However, it only lasted for three to five breaths, and there was completely no sound in the backyard.
The old horse is not kind and bullies the demon...
"Where's Madam?"
Li Nuo asked casually.
Qiluo gloated: "The young lady went to Sister Ziyuan's house and said she would stay at her place that night."
Li Nuo glared at Qiluo: "Why didn't you go?"
"Huh, of course I'm going. I just came back to pick up some things. I'll wait for you to come back and let me know."
Qiluo said proudly, "Who would have thought that right after I came back, I would see the treasure hunter mouse transforming into another form. Alas, I won't tell you anymore. I want to tell the news to the lady as soon as possible."
After saying that, Qiluo hurried out again.
Li Nuo was speechless.
Are you going to sleep alone tonight?
…
Late June.
After two days of fermentation, Chang'an City became very lively for three reasons.
First.
Li Nuo had his first sword fight at the Star Viewing Pavilion in the southern suburbs. This was the prosperous age of Jianghu. Under the publicity of Qingfeng Tower, Jianghu people from nearby Chang'an poured into Chang'an. At this time, the sun was at noon, and there were still several hours before sunset. There was already a sea of people near the Star Pavilion.
It's a pity that this shocking battle under the third level is destined to disappoint everyone...
second.
The eldest princess has been imprisoned in the sky prison for two days. Everyone is waiting to see how Li Nuo will end up laughing.
third.
I heard that the demon envoys will arrive in Chang'an today. There will be a total of five hundred demon envoys, which is also the largest demon envoy to date. And everyone will also witness with their own eyes whether the war between the two races has begun, or whether the two races have ceased fighting and entered a peaceful era.
In the north of the city, there is a first-class building.
Private room facing the street on the sixth floor.
"Master Li, you didn't prepare well for the battle, but you invited me to come for a banquet and a drink. Why is this?"
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The consort Zheng, who had been in love with Princess Taiping for twenty-seven years, finally asked.
Li Nuo thought about it for two days, and finally made an appointment with Zheng's consort through Wang Jincheng's relationship.
Prince Consort Zheng had two sisters, one married into the Beiyue family and became the "second lady", and the other married into the Wang family and gave birth to Wang Jincheng.
After Li Nuo drank a glass of wine, he sighed: "Prince-in-law, I have something that puzzles me. I have arrested Princess Taiping. Why don't you react at all?"
"Reaction? What reaction do you want? I have always abided by the law. Mr. Li has accepted your Majesty's errand. Of course, I must try my best to cooperate with you. I believe that if Your Highness the Princess is innocent, you will definitely give us justice. Princess If you really commit a crime, hum, Xu Sheng once said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Mr. Li only needs to enforce the law impartially, and I will never dare to complain! "
Zheng's consort was upright and upright, and he was a breath of fresh air in the officialdom.
Li Nuo, who has always been known for his eloquence, was completely defeated in front of this prince-in-law.
this……
Originally, he thought that the prince-in-law could resist, so that he would have an excuse to take someone, and then use coercion and inducement to search the princess's house. But the prince-in-law was so cooperative, how could he have the nerve to backstab her?
"Master Li, why don't you say anything? If the princess is crying and making a fuss in the prison, Master Li doesn't need to be polite, just do whatever you want. Even if it means torture, ahem, I can accept it."
The Prince Consort continued.
Li Nuo asked with a strange look on his face: "Prince-in-law, you have been treating the princess for twenty-seven years now. I heard that you are gentle and considerate to the princess and never stay out at night. You are really a good family man and a role model for our generation!" "
Li Nuo was very doubtful whether the prince-in-law wanted to use his hand to eradicate the princess?
But he also checked and found that the relationship between the consort and the princess was fine. The two raised their eyebrows and treated each other with respect.
Zheng's consort also realized that he seemed to have gone too far, and smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, I am your majesty's minister first, and naturally I have to protect everything for your majesty, and secondly, I am the princess's consort. Your majesty attaches great importance to the case of the imperial mausoleum, even more so I have given you the Shangfang Sword, and of course I will do everything I can to cooperate with you."
Is that true?
Seeing Prince Consort Zheng's eyes full of sincerity, Li Nuo always felt that something was wrong.
Searching the princess's mansion requires the emperor's order.
Of course, King Qin, who was supervising the country, could also use the seal, but with King Qin's temperament, he would definitely not agree, so Li Nuo did not bother himself.
Since the Prince Consort Zheng is so cooperative, let's take action on him!
Li Nuo tentatively asked: "Prince-in-law, I wonder if I can visit the princess mansion?"
The Prince Consort's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion are two different things.
The Prince Consort's Mansion is the place where the Prince Consort and the Princess live together after they get married. It is a mansion given by His Majesty. It is the common property of two people. If they really reconcile in the future, the property will be divided.
The Princess Mansion is the princess's residence before she gets married. It is the princess's private property and has nothing to do with the consort.
Generally, princess palaces are built in the inner city in the south of the city. Only those daughters who are particularly favored by the emperor will be directly given a palace in the palace as a princess palace. This is the case with His Highness Qingyang.
There are many talkative people in the Prince Consort's house, so I don't expect there to be any problems.
But the Princess Mansion is different.
certainly.
If Zheng's consort wants to enter the princess's house, he must obtain the princess's consent. But now that Princess Taiping is in jail, as long as Prince Consort Zheng is a little tougher, she will naturally be able to "break in".
After all, he and the princess have lived together for twenty-seven years, and their relationship is very "stable." The servants of the Princess Mansion now have no backbone, so of course they cannot stop Prince Consort Zheng.
Zheng Prince Consort thought carefully and noticed Li Nuo's "implication". He asked: "Master Li, it's okay to take you into the princess's mansion, but if His Highness Taiping comes out, I am the Prince Consort, and I will just be taken over by her." A few words of reprimand. But you are only afraid of being charged with one of the following crimes."
Li Nuo imprisoned Princess Taiping in the sky prison for handling the case, and it was official business, so she could barely get through it.
But if you enter the princess's mansion, it's a different story. Once he cannot beat the princess to death with a stick, he will have to bear the princess's endless anger.
By then, the Ministry of Rites and the Yushitai will definitely spray him with blood, and even the emperor will not be able to protect him.
