Chapter 79 Sir, are you willing to give your life to me?
"Let's climb the wall." Lin Qingyue had already walked outside the wall, then turned and asked Dongfang Qi, "Do you want help?"
The next moment, he jumped up and landed lightly on the wall.
Lin Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly: Sure enough, a person who could establish the Xuanjing Division at the age of twelve and subdue a group of rabble would definitely not be a weak person.
Several people jumped onto the wall one after another and easily sneaked into the county government office.
The layout of the county government office is not complicated. The front is the government office, and the back house is the residence of the county magistrate.
But once they arrived at the backyard, everyone's faces darkened: Such a strong demonic aura!
The embroidered curtains in the warm room, the red waves rolling on the quilt, the woman's gentle laughter and the man's panting blend together, extremely ambiguous.
The man with dark circles under his eyes and thin cheeks hugged the beauty in his arms and begged:
"My beauty, stop keeping me in suspense and give me yourself! I'll die on your belly sooner or later!"
The beauty chuckled softly, her breath as sweet as orchid: "Then my lord, are you willing to give your life to me?"
"Yes, my life has long been yours! For you, I don't want anything else but to spend every night with you, my beauty!"
"Okay, this is what you promised..." After saying that, the beauty's palm suddenly pierced into his chest.
The county magistrate's eyes suddenly widened, and he lost his breath in an instant. From extreme joy to extreme pain, it was just a matter of a breath.
The next moment, Lin Qingyue, Dongfang Qi, Xie Shouzheng, Damao and Ermao broke through the roof at the same time and fell into the house.
As soon as they entered the county government office, they sensed a strong demonic aura.
But he was still a step too late. The county magistrate had already been killed, and the woman on the bed had bloodshot eyes, a sharp mouth and fangs. She was actually a fox spirit!
"You bold beast!" Xie Shouzheng shouted, releasing a net that instantly tied the fox demon into a cocoon.
The fox demon naturally refused to be trapped, tearing furiously at the net with its sharp claws like hooks, only to see the ropes tighten ever tighter, the golden thread digging into its flesh and oozing demonic blood. With a shrill fox cry, it instantly transformed into a fiery red fox, wailing and wailing, unable to fight back.
Da Mao swiped the fox and its net up and shouted, "I'm just wondering why the county magistrate always wants to kick us out. We've been to the government office several times, but he's always turned us away. You're the one behind this, aren't you? You're afraid we'll discover your true identity!"
"Yes, it's all you!"
"You're responsible for all those missing persons cases in the county, right? And today you're so brazen as to even murder the county magistrate!"
"Yes, it's you!"
The fox demon screamed, but was kicked by Damao, who cursed, "How dare you quibble? We in the Xuanjing Division exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons to protect the peace of this area. We won't let a single evil demon go, and we won't wrongly accuse any good demon! We'll take you back to the Xuanjing Division for a thorough interrogation, and be honest!"
After scolding him, Damao said to Xie Shouzheng, "Master Xie, now that the murderer has been apprehended, we brothers will rush back to the county overnight. Do you want to go with us?"
This is not the capital, and the three of them all have important matters to attend to. It would be bad if they appeared in public and revealed their identity as the prince.
Anyway, the Xuanjing Division has very complete procedures for interrogating and suppressing evil spirits and monsters, so there is no need for him to intervene.
Xie Shouzheng then said, "Take him back to the county and conduct a thorough interrogation. I have official business to attend to and will leave early tomorrow morning. I will not interfere in your local affairs."
The next thing will be much easier.
Da Mao, Er Mao and others must first report the matter to the local county lieutenant, and then bring the fox demon back to the county's Xuan Jing Si branch for interrogation, custody, and sentencing.
Lin Qingyue, Dongfang Qi and Xie Shouzheng returned to the inn to rest.
Before leaving, Xie Shouzheng reminded Damao and the others not to mention the appearance of the three of them.
Damao patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, sir, I am the best at keeping secrets and will never say anything nonsense!"
The second half of the night was indeed peaceful.
Although they wasted most of the night, the three of them still got up early the next day, had breakfast, bought some dry food for the journey, and continued their journey.
On the way, Lin Qingyue said to Dongfang Qi, "I thought this case wouldn't be so easy to resolve, but I didn't expect the murderer to be caught so quickly."
"It was a coincidence, really. We happened to be at the county government office last night, and that fox demon started to attack, and its demonic energy was leaked."
Dongfang Qi sat sideways in the carriage, his wrist holding the reins trembling slightly. The morning light streamed in from the sky, gilding his profile and blending with the gentleness between his eyebrows.
The wheels rolled over the winding mountain road, and the curtains swayed gently. Through the gap, Lin Qingyue could just see half of his profile, outlined by golden light, revealing his elegant and heroic spirit.
She exclaimed in her heart: It's much more pleasing to the eyes than the Dog Prince.
At this moment, Xie Shouzheng suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted, "Oh no! I forgot my blood-thorn whip at the inn!"
Dongfang Qi glanced at him calmly and said, "How could you forget the weapon you carry with you?"
Xie Shouzheng said, "I went to bed in the middle of the night and woke up at dawn. I was so sleepy that I actually forgot my most important weapon! No, I have to go back and get it. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to survive without a weapon."
Then he looked at Dongfang Qi and asked: "Sir..."
Dongfang Qi said, "You go and retrieve it yourself. Deputy Envoy Lin and I will go to Fengxian County ahead to wait for you."
"Hey, thank you very much, sir. I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he turned his horse around and galloped towards Fengnian County.
Dongfang Qi continued driving, moving forward at a leisurely pace, introducing Lin Qingyue, "Fengxian County has a lot of delicious food, especially noodles. When we arrive, it will be near lunchtime, so I'll take you to taste the food here."
Lin Qingyue's slender fingertips supported her chin, her expression lazy and a little nonchalant.
"Xiaohua, I see you don't seem to be in any hurry to get going?"
The person outside the car curtain chuckled: "What do you mean?"
"It's obviously faster to ride a horse, but you chose to take a carriage. Xie Shouzheng left something behind, and the trip back and forth took another half a day. Yet you weren't in a hurry at all, and were still thinking about savoring the delicious food."
"Xiaohua, don't forget, you only have three months."
"I haven't forgotten." Dongfang Qi's voice was still clear and calm, as if matters of life and death were only discussed in laughter.
"Precisely because I have so little time left, I can't miss any of the scenery and delicious food along the way. At the speed of the carriage, we'll reach our destination in about ten days. If all goes well and I can recover as before, that would be the best. If fate determines that I only live to be 22, then at least I haven't wasted my time on this journey."
"Your personality reminds me of an old friend. He was just like you, calm and composed."
"Really? I actually look like your old friend. What is he like? Can you tell me in detail?" Dongfang became a little curious.
"He's already dead, there's nothing to say." Lin Qingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, concealing a hint of sadness without making a sound.
It would be so nice if he were still here. But unfortunately, his soul has already been scattered and he will never come back.
