"Okay...general, no problem, general."
The dog-headed spider obviously shouted at the king and almost made another mistake. It was not until he saw the demon master wearing a third-grade military attaché robe staring at it with cold eyes that he was startled and quickly changed his mind.
Qin Shaoyou, who had received professional training, suppressed laughter and just guessed in his heart: Could this demon lord still be an official fan?
But if you are a fan of officials, isn't calling yourself a king a higher level than a general? Why does he want these demon spiders under his command to be called generals instead of kings?
And looking at the tiger leopard scarlet robe on it, there is no stain or damage at all, it doesn't look like it was ripped off from a third-grade military attaché.
Besides, if a third-grade military attache died in Yizhou without any explanation, the police officers, night watchmen and even local garrisons everywhere would be so busy!
A third-grade military attaché could not be called a senior military attache. Even the commander of the Demon Suppression Division who was in charge of the capital was only of this grade.
Of course, the officials of the Demon Suppression Department are much more powerful than military attachés and even civilian officials of the same level.
But no matter what, it is impossible for a third-grade military attache to die here without any news.
Look at the official robes on this demon lord. They are made and compliant, and they don’t look like they could be made privately by a demon king.
Could it be that this third-grade general was really conferred by the imperial court?
It shouldn't be.
Although in the Great Xia Dynasty, there were indeed monsters who entered the court as officials, such as Cen Biqing, a snake spirit who became the general flag of the Demon Suppression Department, and there were even monsters who sat in high positions in the court.
But these monsters are all registered in the monster book of the Monster Suppression Department, and they are good citizens who have always abided by the law... At least on the surface, they are hard to find fault with, and their character is even more honest than that of many human bureaucrats. , People-friendly.
However, this demon lord in Burial Yin Mountain is obviously not like that.
It captured so many people and imprisoned them in caves. It also regarded the entire Pu'an County as its own territory. It took possession of everyone's lives and caused wanton chaos. It practiced witchcraft, cast evil spells, and conducted various experiments that went against human nature.
Although it uses sorcery to transform itself into a human-like creature without any of the characteristics of a spider, any of the little demons under its hands are not weird, ugly and hideous?
Even if the old emperor in the capital, no matter how obsessed with cultivation, no matter how ridiculous, he would not grant an official title to such a monster, he would still be a high-ranking official of the third rank!
Even if the emperor is really out of his mind and insists on appointing this official, the princes in the court will suspend their partisanship, join forces to reject this ridiculous decision, and send out experts from the Demon Suppression Department to kill this beast. People from harm.
But if he wasn't appointed by the imperial court, then who would be the third-grade military attaché of the demon lord here? The key is to get its recognition, so that it can no longer even be a self-proclaimed king, but wants to be a third-grade military attache?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered that the humanoid spider had said before that a group of people did business with the demon lord and bought children from it.
Could it be this group of people?
If this is the case, Qin Shaoyou has a guess at the identity of this group of people.
They are probably from the Shu Palace.
Because in the territory of Yizhou, apart from the imperial court, the only official title that could be recognized by this official-obsessed demon lord was the Palace of the Prince of Shu.
Not to mention whether the King of Shu has the power to appoint officials and whether he can appoint third-rank officials, but his identity as a royal vassal is enough to scare this official-obsessed demon master.
Assuming that the King of Shu made another wish for it, it would not be surprising at all that it would accept the official position granted by the King of Shu.
But Qin Shaoyou couldn't understand why the King of Shu would grant an official title to such an evil and cruel monster?
Just to make it better at helping catch children? Or do you have some other intentions?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered that the humanoid spider once confessed that the group of humans who had made a deal with the Demon Lord of Burial Yin Mountain had not come for a month or two.
Calculating the time, wasn't it the time that the corpse king in the nine-story underground palace was destroyed a month or two ago?
The Corpse King was destroyed, so those humans stopped coming to acquire children.
Zuo Qianhu said that the identity of the Corpse King was most likely the Crown Prince of Shu.
So before that, the people of the Prince of Shu's Palace took the children from the Demon Lord of Burial Yin Mountain just to serve as blood food for the Crown Prince of Shu and the Corpse King to nourish the corpse?
If the truth of the matter is indeed the case, then the King of Shu not only knew that his prince had turned into a zombie, but also helped conceal it, and helped kidnap young children from the people and send them to the underground palace to serve as blood food for his prince's zombie. , training him step by step to become the Corpse King!
If this is really the case, that King of Shu really deserves to be killed!
Just when Qin Shaoyou instantly deduced so many clues and guesses based on the third-grade military attache robe worn by the demon master, and had murderous intentions in mind, the demon master's eyes also fell on him, raised his brows, and asked : "Why are you back? What happened in Pu'an County?"
Qin Shaoyou quickly retracted his thoughts, hid his murderous intention, and dealt with it carefully: "To tell you the general, this is what happened..."
He repeated what he had said to the dog-headed spider before.
"What do you think?" The Demon Lord turned around and asked the dog-headed spider waiting beside him.
Okay, looks like this, the dog-headed spider is still a strategist?
Is he really a dog-headed military advisor?
Qin Shaoyou secretly complained in his heart.
The dog-headed spider responded seriously: "General, I have some doubts. That team of night watchmen from Yizhou Town Demon Division should be coming for the group of people who were trading with us. Most of them were attracted by the night watchmen. The lackeys of the imperial court are being targeted!"
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sneer secretly: You, a dog-headed spider and a dog-headed military advisor, actually have the nerve to call us night watchmen running dogs?
"I thought so too." The Demon Lord nodded.
It's okay if it doesn't nod, but this nod actually causes its nose to fall to the ground.
Qin Shaoyou took a sneak peek and saw that the wound on his nose was rotten, and the rot was accelerating. Not only the nose, but also the flesh in many places on his face was rotting and falling off.
The Demon Lord glanced down at his nose and did not pick it up, but his mood undoubtedly became a little irritable.
He told Qin Shaoyou: "When you go back, take a few people back with you, let them put on the bodies of the night watchmen of the Prefecture Town Demon Division, and return to the prefecture city to find out the situation... Forget it, the Prefecture Demon Division's There are too many masters, and even if there is a body to cover it up, there is no guarantee that the flaws will not be discovered. It is better to wait until I have a new body and organs and go to the city to check it out in person!"
When the Demon Lord said this, he acted like a drug addict. He couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned around and asked the dog-headed spider: "Where is the little girl he brought back?"
"It's right outside. I'll have someone send her in right now."
The dog-headed spider hurriedly moved its appendages and ran outside the yard to call the demon spiders carrying Su Jianqing. At the same time, it called other demon spiders to bring over the new body prepared for the demon master.
Soon, the new body was brought in, and it turned out to be a living person.
A young and muscular man!
The man's hands and feet were bound with spider silk and he could not move. Even his mouth was covered with spider silk and he could not cry out. But it was clear from his frightened eyes that he was very scared at the moment.
Compared with him, Su Jianqing was much calmer - this girl was still pretending to be dizzy.
Of course, whether it was Qin Shaoyou or Su Jianqing, or Cui Youying, Zhu Xiucai, Su Tingyu and others who were hiding aside with the help of mimicry orders, they were all ready to attack at this moment.
As soon as the demon lord takes off his current rotten body and reveals his true body, that is when he is at his weakest, and it is also the best time to kill him!
