"How can that be done!" Mu Yuan obviously knew that Li Huaiyun said this because he obviously wanted to delay him! "It's too late! Let me go find Old Man Qin, don't let you investigate the case!"
This woman is really short of money!
"Wait a minute, Captain Mu Yuan, if the case is halfway through the investigation, changing the person will definitely affect the progress of the investigation!"
Li Huaiyun thought quickly in his mind, how to convince the woman in front of him, "I promise to investigate the case clearly within two or three days!"
"Are you serious?"
"If you fail to do so, let the helmsman punish you!"
"Okay! Anyway, if you lie to me, when you return to the palace, I will ask the emperor to kill your entire family."
I. . . Li Huaiyun suddenly became nervous, Damn! It seems like it’s a big deal! Forgot that this woman is a relative of the emperor.
And he discovered that this woman didn't like being the emperor very much, otherwise she wouldn't be able to call a pig.
Mu Yuan clapped her hands happily, with a smile on her face, "That's it! You have to hurry up."
Li Huaiyun patted his head, thinking why he just jumped into the fire pit, no! It’s no good at all, it’s such a shame!
He cupped his fists and bowed in salute! "Then please rest assured, helmsman, my subordinates will definitely write down all the mechanics theory, and try to help the helmsman to build the Wooden Kite Repeating Crossbow as soon as possible."
"As for success!" He lowered his voice, "I don't know what the reward will be!"
Mu Yuan frowned, "Reward? I'll tell you later, you won't be missing anyway." She smiled coldly, "If you don't do it, I will take you to make wine alone!"
Soaking wine? Li Huaiyun looked puzzled. A picture emerged in his mind. A huge transparent glass jar contained slightly yellow wine. He was put into the jar and soaked together with other medicinal materials or snake-like creatures.
Thinking of this, he frowned and shuddered. This woman seemed a little weird!
Mu Yuan waved her hands proudly and walked towards Qianji Pavilion, leaving behind a confused Li Huaiyun.
A Tian stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Then what did the helmsman tell you? You look confused."
"Oh! It's nothing!" Li Huaiyun glanced at the retreating figure, "I just want me to go to Qianji Pavilion and help her see if there is anything that can be improved on that repeating crossbow!"
A Tian glanced at him with an envious expression, "You know so much! No wonder Sikyong and the other helmsmen take special care of you!"
"Brother, your future will definitely be great!"
"You're praising me too much! I'm a D-level monster hunter now. I'll praise you again after I finish handling a few major cases!"
They arrived at the Iron Painting Pavilion and learned that Liu Pingzhong had to deal with other matters, so they put aside the interrogation of the fox demon in advance.
However, he has already ordered his subordinates to directly interrogate him as long as he has Sikyong's handwriting.
In addition, Liu Pingzhong has repeatedly told his subordinates that if Li Huaiyun comes here, he can be directly released and allowed to enter the prison where monsters are held for interrogation.
And other people need to submit the information after investigating the monster, and arrange a note-taker to record the interrogation process.
Liu Pingzhong treated Li Huaiyun with the highest dignity, which surprised him somewhat.
Could something have happened in Kyoto? Could it be more important than this?
"This way, you two!" The guards guarding the Iron Painting Pavilion politely led the two of them to the prison where the fox demon was imprisoned.
On the way to the prison, Li Huaiyun took the paper handed over by another guard. On it was the identity investigation of the fox demon, and he flipped through it casually.
"Did you find anything?" A Tian asked.
"It's not that big of a discovery. However, this fox demon must have a deep hatred for Da Zhou, so he has a motive to collude with the officials of the Ministry of War."
The prison where the fox demons are imprisoned is called the Locking Demon Prison. It was built by the Demon Slayer Division with nearly a thousand people. It is located in the back mountain. During the construction work, Taoist people participated in it. In the area where Feng Shui is located, various This kind of ritual is to be able to use the talisman array to suppress the monsters trapped inside.
The guards took them to the middle of the prison. The farther inside, the more powerful the monsters were, and the stronger the evil spirit inside, forming a natural miasma!
People with low cultivation level will be affected by the demonic energy inside, ranging from coma to confusion or even insanity.
The guard and the scribe stood nearby, staring at the two of them.
A Tian's resistance to evil spirits was not strong and he felt slightly uncomfortable, but he chose to endure it. After all, as a partner, he did not want to leave casually due to lack of ability.
He adjusted his breathing, then panted lightly, and glanced at Li Huaiyun. To his great surprise, the guy's face remained normal and he showed no reaction at all.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of the prison covered with talisman papers. The fox demon was sitting on the ground, his head lowered and his expression relaxed.
He looked at the fox demon carefully and found that she was a female, with obvious body features, and the animal ears on the top of her head, which actually caused a ripple in his heart!
Beast-eared girl! When did I become interested in this genre? Li Huaiyun asked himself in his heart whether he was gradually becoming abnormal.
He shook his head vigorously to get rid of the random thoughts in his mind.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of the cell door and shouted inside, "Hey! Are you used to living here?"
The fox demon slowly raised his head, and when he saw Li Huaiyun's proud face, his eyes widened immediately, and he stood up from the ground, "It's you! I'm going to bite you to death!"
It rushed forward, but once it reached the prison door, the talisman paper attached to the wood immediately reacted and released blue light.
The power contained in the talisman shook the fox demon away.
"You've been locked up in prison, and you're still so restless?"
"An'an? If I don't tear you into pieces, it's not a big deal. If you have the guts, let me out and let me bite you to death!"
cut! Li Huaiyun laughed lightly, "You fox monster, don't you have any brains? Would I do something stupid like releasing you and biting myself to death?"
He changed the topic and said, "However, it is not impossible to let you go. There are conditions!"
"Hiss!" The fox demon let out a low roar, "Don't be so pretentious here!"
"What I said is true! There is nothing to lie to."
Seeing the other party's slight hesitation, Li Huaiyun said directly, "As long as you tell me why you colluded with the official from the Ministry of War, and who is the man in black robe?"
The fox demon laughed loudly, "Do you really think I will tell you?"
"As long as you want to go out, you must tell me, otherwise, you will wait here to die or wait to be refined."
The fox demon clenched his upper and lower jaws and gritted his teeth. "Even if I die, I will not surrender to you humans. One day, we demon clan will defeat you in the war and capture you as slaves." .”
"I didn't expect it to be a monster with quite a backbone!"
Li Huaiyun looked at the fox demon and said, "You were born in Shenxi Valley, on the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are a famous red-seal fox demon in the deep mountains and ancient forests in that area. You are good at transformation and sneak attacks."
"It is said that your ancestors were pets of gods in the heavens," Li Huaiyun laughed contemptuously, "Pets should be treated as pets. They are not very intelligent to begin with, so they engage in dramas of colluding with humans to achieve ulterior motives. "
"You have limited IQ, so don't do these mind-numbing things."
When the fox demon imprisoned in the prison heard that his clansmen were being insulted like this, he tried to grab Li Huaiyun regardless of the power of the talisman. However, he was still pushed away by the talisman and fell heavily to the ground.
"You chose to practice under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree because you have experienced the Battle of Fukeng that year! There were many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted on the ground during that battle. It is obvious that you want to remember this war!"
The fox demon endured the pain and stood up slowly, with hatred in his eyes, "You are right, my parents died in that battle. None of you humans are good."
Li Huaiyun snorted, "Could it be that you demon clan are good people? We also lost a lot of people in that battle."
"You started it first!"
"What? We provoked it first. At that time, several villages on the border were attacked by you, killing and injuring nearly a hundred villagers, even young children were not spared,"
"Now they all deny it, and they all say that it was us, the Great Zhou, who started it! Such a history book, it is really shameless."
"Bah!" the fox demon spat, "couldn't it be that those villagers hunted the foxes in the forest for the fur on us! And even bit them back!"
Li Huaiyun didn't want to continue arguing about this matter. After all, the two sides had had many conflicts. Each camp had its own set of rhetoric, and their inherent thinking had been formed subconsciously over a long period of time. It was a waste of time to argue like this.
"You'd better tell the whole story quickly! Otherwise, if the official from the Ministry of War explains it first, then you'll have to wait to be refined by the demon refining master and transformed into demon pills or other objects."
"Hmph!" The fox demon was unmoved by the threat, "Don't fool me, that guy won't say anything!"
"You are here and you don't even know the news from the outside! How do you know that that guy won't betray you to protect himself?"
The fox demon showed a pair of fangs on his lips and responded confidently, "You don't have to lie to me. The guy said it, and he just admitted that he colluded with the monster!"
I go! This fox demon still has some brains.
Li Huaiyun couldn't do anything about it for a while. He thought in his mind for a moment, "Are you familiar with that official? Or maybe you two have some improper relationship."
The fox demon turned his head away, a trace of imperceptible anger flashed across his face, and he simply replied, "I won't say it."
It seems that the prisoner's dilemma has no effect on these two people.
"If you really plan to die here, or be turned into a demon pill here, if you tell us, we might really be able to let you go!"
The fox demon curled his lips, "Let me go? Stop being ridiculous! I advise you not to waste your time!"
Li Huaiyun frowned. It was indeed a waste of time as the fox demon said. He was pondering in his heart, what breakthrough point could there be!
Looking at this arrogant fox demon, he really couldn't think of any other way but to say a harsh word here,
"Okay! You are the most courageous monster I have ever seen. In this case, there is no use keeping you in prison! Then let someone refine you!"
The fox demon turned his head and squinted at Li Huaiyun, his eyes full of hatred.
Li Huaiyun shook his head gently, "I will do my best to make your death as quick as possible!"
At this point, he had no other choice but to say these words.
The fox demon in the prison shouted loudly, "Kill if you want, and practice if you want. If you let me go now, I will continue to come to Dazhou, and I will definitely avenge you."
Li Huaiyun turned around, winked at A'Tang, and the two of them walked out side by side.
He looked back at the fox demon again, "It's hard to handle! This monster still has some brains."
