    ?

    Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone into the Konghui City, which was still sleeping.

    The gate of the Yamen of the imperial guards.

    Nihua Yao yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said to the man beside her, "I'm about to start."

    The man in black brocade only nodded in response.

    All right.

    Taking a deep breath, he picked up the two drum sticks next to the drum stand, and beat them with such a high spirit that the early birds on the treetops were taken aback and almost choked.

    Xiao Simo's temples were aching again.

    If he remembers correctly, he seems to have just asked her to knock on the door of the yamen instead of

    "Who is beating the drums to complain?"

    After a while, a yawning guard wearing only a blue coat came out from the gate.

    It's not yet office time.

    "he!"

    With a slender hand pointing, Ni Hua Yao pointed at Xiao Simo standing next to the drum stand without guilt.

    "If there is anything to do, wait until we start work at the end of Yinshi."

    Turning around, he was about to close the door.

    The flute stretched out like a black iron arm, blocking the door that was about to be closed.

    "what you do?"

    The guard glared and asked in an extremely unfriendly manner.

    "I'll give you a piece of advice. If you don't want this yamen to be demolished, it's best to take care of us. Well it's best to ask your guards to come out quickly, because you won't be this guy's opponent.  .¡±

    Ni Hua Yao stood by the door, smiling sweetly at the guard.

    It is decided that Ni Hua Yao is just pretending to be a show, what can a little girl and a slender man do.

    Regardless of Ni Huayao's advice, he closed the door forcefully, but the door that Xiao Simo held against with his hands seemed to weigh a thousand catties, no matter how much force he used, it would remain motionless.

    There were thin beads of sweat on the guard's forehead, but Xiao Rumo still had a relaxed expression on his face.

    "What are you doing to beat the drums and complain about grievances?"

    Realizing the disparity in strength between him and the opponent, the guard had no choice but to give up closing the door, and let Xiao Simo and Nihua swing in sideways, with a strong smell of gunpowder still hidden in his words.

    Xiao Simo stepped into the gate, and under the guidance of the guards, walked through the corridor leading to the lobby, gave him a sideways glance, and said indifferently, "Go and ask your chief guard to come here."

    "What are you two, the chief guard is the one who can see you just by saying you see him?"

    A guard who hadn't seen his companion back for a long time came out arrogantly.

    These guards didn't even ask them why they wanted to see the chief guard, so they put on such a superior posture.

    "We have news about the white-haired monster. Quickly ask your head of guards to come out to meet us. If it is too late, I will report the news directly to the elders. At that time, the elders will be credited and let them directly punish you for the crime of incompetence."

    People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

    The attitude of these two guards was really annoying, and Ni Hua Yao's attitude also became rude.

    As soon as they heard the news about the white-haired monster, the two guards immediately regained their spirits, making an 80-degree turn from their aggressive attitude just now, and one of them grabbed Ni Huayao's arm excitedly, "You  It means that the white-haired monster has been found by you?"

    "uh-huh."

    Ni Hua Yao pulled away the opponent's hand, raised her small face high, glanced sideways at them, and asked arrogantly, "Now, tell me, do we have the right to meet your chief guard?"

    "Yes, yes, yes, you two wait a moment, the chief guard is still resting in the third hall. Turn left ahead, and after passing the Yimen Gate is the lobby, Wuyong, take them to the Yamen lobby and wait, I will go to invite the guards right away  grow up."

    As the arrogant guard said, he ran away, leaving the guard named Wu Yong who opened the door for Xiao Simo and Ni Hua to take them to the lobby to wait.

    Yamen lobby.

    "Who found the trail of the white-haired monster, and where was it found?"

    A middle-aged man with a beard rushed to the lobby at a fast pace, and asked about the white-haired monster as soon as he saw him, followed by several guards.

    "The chief guard, it's the two of them."

    Wu Yong introduced Xiao Simo and Ni Hua Yao to the chief guard.

    "You are?"

    The chief guard narrowed his sharp eyes, why did he feel that he had seen this man before?

    &nbspXiao Simo didn't want to reveal his prince's identity, so Nihua Yao replied, "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that we know the whereabouts of the white-haired monster. Follow me."

    "Young lady."

    Clasping his fists in thanks, he turned around and shouted at his subordinates, "All of you follow me."

    "yes!"

    ? £ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª

    The outskirts bordering Qingfeng Mountain are full of trees.

    Going forward along the upper stream of the stream, and then passing through a small forest, you will see big trees scattered on the side, or bare tree stumps.  Apparently, a large-scale felling has just been carried out here not long ago, and there are some monkeys jumping up and down around, and squirrels who have lost their homes but are looking for a warm sleeping nest.

    Seeing someone approaching, the frightened animals all flew away at once, and some even jumped on the person's head as a point of support.

    "Damn it!"

    The guards were not spared, they drew out the knives around their waists, and slashed with a raised hand, only to be stopped by Ni Hua.

    "Stop! We broke into their territory, so why should we hurt their lives!"

    The guards were yelled at by her so loudly, considering that she would lead the way to find the white-haired monster, so they would not offend them, so they immediately withdrew their knives.

    All "Girl, you're saying the wrong thing, why is this place owned by those beasts?"

    The chief guard sneered and said.

    Ni Hua Yao didn't refute, these people are officials, even human life is contemptible, and talking to them about protecting animals will only make their big teeth laugh.

    She pointed to a towering tree covered with vines several feet away, "The white-haired monster is hiding in the tree hole of that tree."

    "In the tree hole in front? Very good. You all listen to me, some people go to collect some firewood and smoke it out with fire, and the other part stay here and cut off the monster's back  Road. In short, whether it is life or death, as long as you take it down, there will be rewards, is it clear?!"

    The guards nodded vigorously instead of answering, so as not to make too much noise and startle the snake.

    "Girl, why is the young master who came with you missing?"

    Just when the chief guard led the guards to surround the tree hole and was about to light the fire, he noticed that the indifferent man had never been seen since he left the Yamen.  When exactly did he leave without him noticing at all?

    The chief guard stared at Nihua Yao behind him vigilantly, and put his hand on the scabbard at his waist.

    Could it be that these two people who look like human beings are actually monsters?

    "Roar £þ£þ£þ"

    The low sound of animals came out from the tree hole, which diverted the attention of the chief guard. He didn't care about Nihua Yao. He stretched out his arm and made a gesture of letting go. The guard in charge of holding the fire lit the pyre on the ground.  Immediately the firewood started to burn.

    They were all waiting with bated breath for the appearance of the white-haired monster who couldn't stand the smoke and ran out of the tree hole.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
