Chapter 46 Princess and relatives, Shen Cong catches the demon
Pressing this doubt in my heart, the soldiers quickly turned back to Chang'an.
Little did they know that after they left, the Emperor Dali changed his sad expression and turned back to the palace with a sinister expression. He quietly summoned a person. Both of them went to the imperial study room and talked about it until late at night.
At the same time, the marriage team from the Turks, delayed for two months, jumped over Changping Pass in the twelfth lunar month and entered Chang'an City in a mighty way.
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the prince Chen Wang married the Turkic princess to the palace.
Seeing that he was young, he had just one year before he was in the hairpin, Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand and sent it to the newly built post station.
With the lessons learned from the past, Emperor Jingyuan sent the Ancient Jinyiwei to patrol the crowd.
Whenever there are demons, the Jinyiwei will immediately launch and kill the demons.
Among them, Chen Cong, Gu Jiuling, and Qin Zheng were among them.
Chen Cong was promoted to another official position not long ago and became the chief rank of the seventh rank.
Because he often put on Gu Jiuling or Qin Zheng when he announced the list of monster hunting, the two of them were promoted one after another, and became the seventh-rank small flag, but they were still transferred by Song Cheng behind Shen Cong.
On this day, Qin Zheng rested, Gu Jiuling sat upright on the high building at the post station, raised his eyes and looked up at the cold moon in the sky, as if he was wandering, and did not pay much attention to Chen Cong.
It didn't matter that Chen Cong leaned against the corridor in front of the main pavilion of the post station and took out a pot of wine from his waist and drank it leisurely.
The Turkic princess who heard about this marriage was the most beloved daughter of the Turkic king. She was the most popular among the Turkic princes since childhood because of her appearance.
I heard again that this little princess came from the main palace and was a serious legitimate daughter. She could be called the Turkic King and was determined to send the legitimate princess to marry her. It can be seen how the Later Jin and the Huns forced the Turkic into.
Chen Cong didn't feel pitiful about this.
If we really want to talk about pitifulness, who will pity the soldiers who fell on the battlefield, and who will pity the elderly, weak women and children of the Central Plains who were buried in the worries of the barbarians.
After only a few sips, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of him.
"Your Highness." He Qi bowed his head and bowed.
"Is there any progress in the human skin transaction case?" Chen Cong lazily put down the wine pot and glanced at the mysterious clothes sitting upright on the eaves of the house.
In this cold winter, the Gu boy sat high and didn't feel cold.
"When you go back to Your Highness, there is no progress yet. But there is something to be reported to you." He Qi suppressed his voice, "A few days ago, my subordinates investigated the case and accidentally tracked the cat ghost with the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei had not caught up with him, and his subordinates used all their cultivation skills to catch up with the cat ghost and saw that the cat ghost had escaped into the Acacia Palace and had not gone out again."
Chen Cong's eyes paused.
Acacia Palace...
There is the place where his fifth brother, the mother of King Chen Xun of Zhao, lives.
Could it be that Cat Ghost is related to Shen Xun?
"He Qi, don't startle the snake. Tonight, you and I will wait for the rabbit, wait for the cat ghost to come and chase it." Rubbing his chin, Chen Cong slowly opened his lips.
"He Qi nodded, then stood in the darkness behind Chen Cong.
Chen Cong looked at the brightly lit post station, and a deep frost appeared in his eyes.
King Chen Xun of Zhao was born by Concubine Yu. Because he had a serious illness when he was young, his mentality was even more than a three-year-old child. He was often speechless and was playing with marbles in a daze. One day passed.
Concubine Yu held Chen Xun in her heart, and it was extremely painful. So Chen Xun would not leave the Acacia Palace until the festival.
If he was the initiator of the Cat Ghost Case, then Chen Xun has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for many years.
The cunning is even far beyond his second and third brothers.
However, all this was just his guess.
When the cat ghost is chasing now, if the cat ghost comes, he will escape to the Acacia Palace, and he will quickly investigate the matter with He Qi and Chen Xin.
If he had learned the gossip thoroughly in his previous life, rather than half-baked, he would not have to guard the cold winter now and could do it directly.
Slight snow fell from the sky.
"He Qi, it's New Year again." Chen Cong took out a hand stove from Qiankun's capsule.
"There are more than ten days left, and the end of the year is the end of the year." He Qi replied softly.
Chen Cong nodded, looked up at the bright moon, his eyes dumbfounded.
It will be seventeen years since he came to this world.
Who else will remember him in that world?
Forget it, forgot it, let’s focus on the matter in front of you.
When Chen Cong gathered his thoughts, a black shadow suddenly jumped above the post station.
"Meow—" A sharp cat sound broke through the long night.
Here comes!
Chen Cong's eyes sharply.
A whistle sounded, and the Jinyiwei lurking in the dark all went out and jumped towards the eaves.
The first thing to do was Gu Jiuling, who had been sitting on the eaves of the house.
When Gu Jiuling noticed that the cat ghost appeared behind him, his cold eyes were stained with a sharp look.
He pulled out the long sword from his waist, stood up, turned his head and stabbed the cat ghost.
This cat ghost is the cat ghost king I saw in the past.
In the snow, the strange flute sound suddenly sounded. When the flute sounded, countless cats and ghosts came from all directions and rushed towards the post station.
In an instant, there were screams inside the post station, and the sounds of objects falling to the ground came one after another.
The noise is extremely noisy.
"Protect the princess!" Chen Cong's eyes changed and he shouted loudly.
The Jinyiwei quickly turned the direction and rushed into the post station. While killing the cat ghost, he approached the girl wearing a silver fox cloak not far away.
The girl was tightly pressed against the wall, and the watery eyes under the gauze of the hat were filled with horror.
She was so old that she had never seen such a bloody scene.
What's more, these cats were knocked on, with rotten flesh on their faces and stinking smell on their bodies, and they didn't look like living creatures.
"He Qi, go and protect the Turkic princess, I will track the cat ghost king." Chen Cong put away his hand stove, pulled out the jade-faced dragon bone fan, hurriedly advised him, then took a step forward, took the golden halo and went straight to the eaves.
Hearing this, He Qi, who wanted to follow a demon-subduing He Qi, silently turned his head and used his light skills and flew into the post station.
On this side, Chen Cong came to the eaves of the house and caught a glimpse of the cat ghost king and Gu Jiuling fighting in full swing, regardless of the difference.
He narrowed his eyes.
The Cat Ghost King is already among the B-sects and has a Taoist practice of a thousand years.
Logically speaking, Gu's cultivation level is no match for the Cat Ghost King.
"Don't come over!" Just as he was about to help Gu Jiuling, Gu Jiuling, who had been silent, suddenly opened his lips coldly.
The moment he finished speaking, Gu Jiuling shouted loudly, jumped up, and the long sword suddenly pierced the internal organs of the cat ghost king.
The sound of the flute came to an abrupt end.
The cat ghost king screamed shrillly, and immediately turned into a ball of black smoke and ran towards the distance.
That's the direction of the palace.
Chen Cong looked dark, took one step forward, and followed the cat ghost king.
Gu Jiuling looked at the direction of his departure. When the black smoke disappeared, his throat rolled and he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
The boy's face suddenly turned pale.
"Who are you?" Holding the sword with your hands behind your back, Gu Jiuling slowly turned around, his cold eyes suddenly faced a ghost-faced black robe.
