Chapter 224 The princess is furious and Songzhou is desolate (4000)(1/2)
Imperial City, Prince Ji’s Mansion.
The princess sat in front of the mirror, looking at the graceful and luxurious face in the mirror, with exquisite makeup, but the smile on the corners of her lips was slowly fading.
She was playing with a jade bracelet in her hand.
As her fingers clenched tightly, the bracelet exploded into pieces, and the broken jade slag failed to damage her fair skin.
"You mean, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou didn't come to visit the palace?" The princess looked back, her voice was calm, but it made people shudder.
After waiting for a whole day and night with great expectation, I had already thought about how to mock Jiang Yuanhua.
But until now, the entrance to the palace is still empty.
The maid knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "Princess...the general soldier who came to Beijing this time is not the one you know...it is the General Xuanjia who came to the palace last time."
"..."
Princess Ji raised her eyebrows.
Qingzhou has changed its commander-in-chief, what about Jiang Yuanhua?
Dead?
If this is the case, then Qingzhou's current crisis may be much more serious than he expected.
"snort."
She sneered, Jiang Yuanhua's good disciple didn't come, but he asked General Shen to come. He was unwilling to bow to her.
Thinking of this, Princess Ji waved her sleeves gently: "If he comes to visit, just say that I am not in the mansion. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? If the real owner doesn't come forward, let a little one come to the front."
Instead of giving the young man the false name of a general soldier, do you really think that you will treat him as a general soldier?
"princess……"
The maid's delicate body trembled even more fiercely, and she whispered fearfully: "That general may not come to the palace."
As the people around them, they know best how to figure out the thoughts of their master.
Before I saw the Qingzhou General Soldier last night, I had already sent someone to the Martial Temple in the name of the palace to inquire.
When the guards came back today, their expressions were extremely weird.
"What do you mean?" Princess Ji's fingers stroking her hair paused slightly.
"General Shen has been promoted to commander-in-chief. He didn't come to the imperial city to ask for help..." The maid raised her head, and then she was kicked in the face. Her whole body rolled out four or five times, and her cheekbones collapsed.
She covered her face in fear, but still tried hard to swallow the plasma down her throat.
"Are you playing riddles with me?" Princess Ji stood up slowly and walked to her.
The maid held back her tears and said out of breath: "Master Shen has been promoted again, and is now the deputy inspector of the Demon Suppression Department! There is no news of demon trouble in Qingzhou."
Hearing this, Princess Ji was stunned.
Inspector of the Demon Suppression Department?
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have guessed wrong.
Could it be that the demon disaster in Qingzhou has been solved? But even so, how did this inspector get promoted?
Even if the other party kills the demon king with his own hands, he will never reach this position.
"Master Shen! Master Shen has entered the first courtyard of the Martial Temple! Now he is a disciple of the Martial Temple."
The maid didn't dare to hesitate any more. She finished telling all the information she had in one breath, then covered her face and leaned down again.
"call."
Princess Ji froze for a long time, then took a deep breath and sat back down.
If the identity of the inspector only surprised her, then the meaning of the disciples of the Martial Temple was completely different.
In name, the Martial Temple is on an equal footing with Xuanguang Cave and Wutong Mountain.
Even though it is now in decline, there are still monks in the realm of transformation to the gods.
Princess Ji's arrogance came from her scorn for the earthly dynasty when she was born in an immortal sect. But now that Shen Yi has entered a real martial arts temple, she is a serious disciple of the immortal sect.
Moreover, the Martial Arts Temple has specially prepared a vacancy for him as an inspector, which shows that he is highly regarded, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a true disciple.
In terms of status, she is even higher than her, a princess who has some relationship with Xuanguang Cave.
After thinking for a long time, she forced out a smile and said, "Let me pick out a treasure from my palace, the kind of treasure that nourishes the soul, and then send it to the Martial Temple to congratulate Master Shen on his promotion."
Several guards outside the door nodded in agreement.
Before they had gone far, they suddenly heard Princess Ji say again: "Forget it, prepare the car, I will go to congratulate him personally."
If I remember correctly, there was no grudge between her and General Xiao Shen.
It is always right to make friends with such a young prodigy in advance. Don't let the master and apprentice surnamed Jiang cause any misunderstandings between you and Shen Yi and leave unnecessary gaps.
The guards were all stunned for a moment, and then secretly cursed in their hearts.
They had previously said that they would be turned away, but now the palace took the initiative to congratulate her.
But on the surface, he didn't dare to be disrespectful at all: "I'll prepare the car soon."
About an hour later.
The palace's luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the long street and soon stopped in front of the Martial Arts Temple.
In the carriage, Princess Ji opened the box next to her and looked at the antlers made of sapphire. She stretched out her hand and gently rubbed it for a moment to make sure that the gift was of sufficient weight before nodding.
The two maids got out of the car and walked towards the headquarters of the Zhenmo Division.
Liu Kun had just finished a day's work and rubbed his sore wrists when he heard a gentle voice coming from the front of the cabinet.
"Princess Ji is here to visit, please help spread the word."
Hearing this, Liu Kun raised his head in confusion: "Who are you visiting?"
What is the purpose of a dignified princess, or the notoriously evil Princess Ji, coming to the headquarters of the Zhenmo Division?
"Can I still visit you?"
One of the younger maids glanced around and frowned when she didn't see the figure she expected.
The older one patted her arm and still said warmly: "The princess personally came to congratulate the newly appointed Lord Shen. She and Lord Shen are old acquaintances."
Another old acquaintance?
Liu Kun inexplicably thought of Jiang He in the early morning. As Princess Ji, she should not be too boastful.
It's just... if they were really close friends, why would they come to this place to ask questions from a sergeant of the Demon Suppression Division?
Coupled with the reputation of the princess, tsk, do you really think you are a stupid pig?
He shook his head and said politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen is not here. Please come back."
The young maid was startled for a moment, then her expression changed and she said coldly: "Where has Mr. Shen gone?"
Listen to the questioning tone.
Liu Kun raised his eyebrows, stood up slowly, and looked down at the two maids.
He closed the booklet leisurely, with a playful sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Heh."
The slaves of the two palaces actually inquired about the traces of the patrol envoys. Princess Ji came to ask in person about this, but she could only get a blank look.
The inspector of the Demon Suppression Department investigates the evil spirits and evil spirits of aristocratic families and sects.
Among them, Princess Ji, who was born in Xuanguangdong, is the most conspicuous one.
This thing was so funny that it seemed like a bandit was asking about the whereabouts of his captor.
"..."
The two maids were swept by the mocking gaze.
It suddenly occurred to me that this was the Demon Suppressing Division that was independent of the court, and did not follow the rules of the royal palace.
"Liu has a low status and dare not reveal information about Master Shen at will."
Liu Kun packed up his things and walked out of the Yamen. He said casually: "If there is a need, I will inform you when Mr. Shen comes back. If it is really urgent, you two can wait outside. As for how many days, I will wait.
Not sure anymore.”
"you!"
The young maid stared at him with wide eyes as he walked away. She wanted to curse angrily, but was grabbed by another maid.
The two of them quickly returned to the carriage and stood by the curtain to report softly.
"Not there?"
Princess Ji opened the curtain, her eyes calm.
She looked at the towering martial arts temple and was silent for a long time. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Let me wait?"
Lower the curtain.
Princess Ji's face suddenly looked gloomy.
