My Lady Is Not A Demon

"West Street Blacksmith's Backyard!"

Looking at the words on the paper ball, Chen Mu frowned slightly.

What's the meaning?

He knew about this place. There used to be a blacksmith shop on West Street, but it ceased to operate last year.

Now it has become a deserted house shop.

"Could it be that the princess has something to say to me alone, that's why she made an appointment? But she didn't write the meeting time."

Chen Mu secretly guessed.

He put away the paper ball and asked Yun Zhiyue: "How much do you know about this princess?"

Yun Zhiyue was still confused by Lu Wuyi's behavior. After hearing Chen Mu's question, she shook her head slightly: "I don't understand very much, but it is rumored that this princess has a rather dainty temperament, and he is also a difficult host in Beijing. ."

Savage...

Thinking back to all the encounters with Lu Wuyi, this girl is really big, Miss has a bad temper.

But the other party felt strange to her just now?

What are you suggesting to me?

Chen Mu faintly realized that he might have looked down on this princess.

As the daughter of the generals, the specially appointed princess, and the emperor's future woman, under the blessing of these identities, how could she be a silly white sweet.

"Interestingly, Qingyu County is getting more and more upset."

Chen Mu sighed.

...

He went to the Yamen to give Zhang Awei a few errands, then sent Yun Zhiyue away, and Chen Mu went to the address on the paper ball alone.

Whether or not the county chief asked him to see him alone, he had to check it out.

When we came to West Street, the street was full of people and horses. There were many shops and shops beside the road, and all kinds of shops were filled with a dazzling array of goods.

Chen Mu turned the bustling streets all the way and stepped into the deserted old alleys of West Street.

Few people have lived here since the relocation. The streets are surrounded by poor households, and the trash everywhere is full of corruption and sourness.

Soon, Chen Mu came to the deserted blacksmith shop.

The shop plaque is still there.

But the lacquer on it almost fell clean and covered in dust.

Walking across the house on a collapsed wall, Chen Mu entered the backyard, and the smell of animal feces was faintly wafting in the air.

"anyone there?"

Chen Mu pinched his nose and shouted.

No one responded.

After spinning around, he suddenly saw one of the rooms half-open, and it was dark inside, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him hidden in the dark.

After hesitating, Chen Mu strode into the house.

The rancid and stuffy taste became more obvious.

The furniture inside was all scattered on the ground, covered with thick dust, and the cobwebs on the mottled old walls were very dark.

no one?

Scanning the empty room, Chen Mu shook his head and prepared to leave.

However, just as he turned around, the old wooden door suddenly closed with a "bang", and dust splashed.

Only a ray of sunlight shines through the dusty windows, adding a touch of light to the house.

A girl in blue appeared in front of him like a ghost.

Holding a sword in his hand.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at his throat, it seemed that as long as a little bit forward, he could make a blood hole in Chen Mu's throat.

"It's you?"

The girl in blue was a little surprised when she saw Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was equally astonished.

He recognized the girl in blue.

It was actually the little maid who followed Lu Wuyi in the tavern before!

The name seems to be Xiaoying.

"Why are you here? Are you here alone?"

The blue-clothed girl looked alert, she didn't have the naive attitude shown in the tavern before, and she exuded the ultimate coldness.

She looked outside through the crack of the door and confirmed that there was no one else outside, and pointed the long sword in her hand at Chen Mu coldly and said:

"Say! How did you find here!"

"Your princess asked me to come."

Chen Mu took out the paper ball and threw it to her, and said with a smile, "I'm sure now that the princess is not easy."

Before, he thought that this little maid had an accident in Oshan.

I didn't expect to appear here.

And judging from the sword-holding posture, he is obviously a master. No wonder the princess dared to run away from home, but what he didn't understand was...

Since there is such a master, but ran to the tavern to steal things, is his brain broken?

The girl took the paper ball and confirmed that it was Miss's handwriting.

"Why did Miss let you come?"

Xiaoying's eyes were still suspicious, but she put down the long sword in her hand.

Chen Mu found a clean place to sit on it, and said lightly: "It seems that you still don't know the situation of your princess, she almost died."

"what!?"

Xiaoying's pretty face changed.

Chen Mu raised his hand to signal her not to be too nervous, and said, "Don't worry, she has been saved by me."

Chen Mu carefully recounted the story of his own rescue.

After listening to the process of ‘artificial respiration’, Xiao Ying had a strange expression and slowly said, "You have a big deal."

"Yes, I might be beheaded by the emperor."

Chen Mu smiled bitterly.

Xiaoying took the sword into its sheath without denying it.

Chen Mu sighed and looked directly at the girl who was full of fierce Sword intent:

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter with you guys, what is your Miss letting me come, and why? In addition, I want to know, your Cultivation Base is so powerful, how can you fall into stealing things in a tavern?"

"Have you been followed when you came? Or talked about it with others."

Xiaoying stared at him closely.

Chen Mu shrugged: "I haven't told anyone about it, but I can't guarantee whether I have been followed, after all, my strength is very low."

"Tell me your home address and I will find you tonight."

"..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Chen Mu's silence, the girl frowned.

"My family has a lady and a sister-in-law."

"Relax, I won't hurt them, and I won't cause them troubles, I just need to pass you some information to Miss."

Xiaoying explained.

Seeing Chen Mu still hesitating, the girl was a little impatient: "Forget it, it's the same for me to ask someone casually. After all, the home of the county government is not in the underworld."

Chen Mu smiled bitterly when he heard the mocking words.

He tore a piece of paper from the notebook, wrote the address, and handed it over: "Don't make any noise, my lady has to rest. She has caught the wind and cold."

"I feel sorry for my wife."

Xiaoying took the paper, "I will come to you about the third clock, and I will send you a signal."

As she said, the girl took out a wooden pipe with thick fingers.

Blow to your mouth.

A sound that was as crisp as a bird's song sounded.

Chen Mu nodded and expressed his understanding: "Okay, I wrote it down."

"By the way, I found a painting when I was fighting with the snake demon. I guess it was dropped from its body. It is inconvenient for me to take it with you. You take it and keep it first."

Xiaoying took a rolled up painting from the side and threw it to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu took over the painting.

Before he could say anything, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and the girl who had originally stood in the house disappeared in front of him.

Only two dilapidated wooden doors shook slightly.

"Awesome!"

Chen Mu stood there for a moment, swearing foul language.

Chen Mu opened the scroll in his hand.

The painting is not very big, it is less than 20 cm wide and about 40 cm long. In the painting is a graceful and graceful drawing of a woman.

The woman was lying quietly on the bed.

The skirt is half exposed.

Judging from the situation, it is as if the painter was drawing while the woman was asleep, with a deep and delicate feeling in each stroke.

But the only weird thing is that the woman's face is blank.

I don't know if the painter has not had time to paint, or deliberately erased the woman's face.

"So-so, not as good as the'Uncle Liu' I confiscated from the Garden Yu room."

Chen Mu glanced at it and lost interest, and closed the picture scroll.

When he walked out of the door, a flash of electricity suddenly flashed through his mind, and Chen Mu's body suddenly stopped, as if he had pressed the pause button.

Huh!

He suddenly unfolded the picture scroll in his hand.

Staring at the woman sleeping on the bed in the painting.

"The head is slightly shifted to the left, and the right hand is stacked on the left hand and placed in front of the lower abdomen..."

Chen Mu's eyes shifted sideways and landed on the woman's feet.

It can be seen that the author's painting skills are very strong, that is, even the women's jade feet are painted carefully, quite exquisitely.

But Chen Mu held his breath.

In the picture, the woman’s right thumb is painted with red rouge on her nails...

Quite eye-catching.

Chen Mu quickly took out the notebook, turned to the page where Xue Caiqing's transcript was recorded, and carefully compared it.

"hiss!"

Chen Mu had a chill in his back.

It is exactly the same as Xue Caiqing's dictation!

At that time, the posture of the eleven women in Ju Chunlou when they died, and the red rouge on their nails, were exactly the same as the woman in this painting!
