The demon world I designed

Chapter 23 So confident!

Inside the palace, a huge palace was covered with paper. A weird man with a round face as white as dough kept writing something with a pen and ink, writing very fast, like a printing press.

The area of ​​the newly built palace was too small, so many concubines did not have their own palaces, which was very shabby. However, this weirdo was assigned a concubine-level palace alone.

The weird man's busy hands and feet suddenly paused. He stared blankly at the white paper in front of him for several seconds, and then smiled: "Interesting..."

Immediately he wrote: Chen Qing, a newly admitted scholar, recruits Wei Gongcheng, the disabled bastard of the Wei family.

After writing, the white paper instantly turned into a paper crane, and the next second it flew out of the palace like a living bird. The scene in the palace was too strange to look at carefully. Countless paper cranes and white rabbits turned into white paper. He ran out of the palace on his own initiative, and the guards outside the palace were all the black-armored guards who were responsible for recording.

——

"Master Chen, are you... recruiting me?"

The other party asked so straightforwardly that Chen Qing didn't expect it. She was slightly startled. It seemed that the other party was a military commander even though he had a delicate mind. He didn't like to beat around the bush very much.

But that’s okay…..

Chen Qing nodded calmly: "If the general thinks so, that's fine!"

"Ha..." Wei Gongcheng suddenly laughed. It was not that he looked down on the other party. Although this young man had just entered the officialdom, he was very smart. In his opinion, his qualifications were not inferior to those of Wang Ye. Even if he did not have the talent of a warlock, he would be a good candidate in the future. He definitely did well in the court.

But now, when you have nothing, you come to recruit yourself. Do you think too highly of yourself?

"General Wei is unwilling?" Chen Qing looked at the other party's expression and said with a smile.

"Why does Mr. Chen think that Wei will be willing?" Wei Gongcheng looked at him funny.

"Guess..." Chen Qing looked at Yu Chipeng's position and said calmly: "Master Wang mentioned you to me, General Wei. General Wei was born as a concubine, but his qualifications are far superior to his legitimate son. He became a senior official at the age of only nine. The deputy general of one generation of Yuchi family heads, who has assisted two generations of Yuchi family heads in succession, has a bright future. If nothing else happens, with the promotion of General Yuchi to the commander of the Forbidden Army, you will at least be the deputy commander!"

"With such an overly dazzling performance, no matter how generous the owner is, he will still be dissatisfied, right?"

Wei Gongcheng's smile froze, and he looked at Chen Qing faintly: "Your Excellency, the investigation is clear."

Indeed, it was true that my own shining talents since childhood attracted the attention of several of my direct brothers. If the head of the Yuchi family hadn't valued me and brought me to the military camp in advance, I was afraid that if I hadn't grown up, I would have been chastised by my mistress. to death.

After all, in a big family, it is taboo for a bastard to be too strong!

If he can maintain his momentum and, as the other party said, follow Lord Yuchipeng and be promoted to deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, then even though he is a concubine, his voice will definitely not be comparable to that of his brothers.

But I am useless...

"If General Wei stays in the capital, life will probably not be easy."

"I don't need to worry about Master Chen anymore!" Wei Gongcheng's expression turned cold: "Although Wei is disabled, he has worked hard over the years without any merit. The Yuchi family will not treat me lightly."

"General Wei plans to retire in the Yuchi Mansion?" Chen Qing said amusedly: "It may be better than returning to the Wei family, but if Lord Yuchipeng is not here, it will not be too good, and the name is not justified, right?"

Wei Gongcheng frowned, looked at Chen Qing for a long time, and finally said, "I'm very curious, why would you recruit a useless person like me?"

"Don't be so self-deprecating..." Chen Qing patted Wei Gongcheng's shoulder gently: "General Wei is a very powerful person, powerful people should not belittle themselves easily."

Wei Gongcheng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened!

The black-armored guard tilted his head in confusion and looked at Wei Gongcheng, who had a somewhat overreactive reaction. Chen Qing's words just now wouldn't have made him so excited, right?

What happened?

"Master Chen is here?"

Just when the atmosphere was strange, Yu Chipeng's rich voice sounded. Chen Qing looked over, and the tall and burly figure of the other party forced him to look up.

To be honest, the height of less than 1.7 meters after time travel has always been the thing he is most dissatisfied with.

"Is it for an errand?" Yu Chipeng looked at Wei Gongcheng, a trace of shame flashed in his eyes. He strongly opposed the family assigning him a new lieutenant, but unfortunately he did not oppose it to the end. He clearly knew that once the lieutenant was changed, Wei Gongcheng would The identity will be in an extremely embarrassing situation.

"Well..." Chen Qing nodded: "I just happened to come to pay my respects to the old lady."

"Please come in there..." Yu Chipeng led the way, seeming a little hesitant to spend more time with Wei Gongcheng.

After a few people left, Wei Gongcheng was still there in a daze. He was not in a daze because Yu Chipeng didn't dare to face him, because he had been doing that since yesterday, and he was used to it.

The reason why he was so excited and then dazed was because Chen Qing patted himself just now.

That was definitely not an illusion. When the other party patted me just now, my already numb lower body clearly felt like something was stabbing me!

But the lower body is obviously unconscious. The imperial doctor has already said that recovery is basically hopeless, but just now...

The black-armored guard looked at Wei Gongcheng expressionlessly. He looked at Wei Gongcheng for a long time but couldn't see anything. After hesitating, he finally didn't record anything on the paper and turned around to follow Chen Qing and his group.

Wei Gongcheng was left in a daze and silently recited: "Liuzhou..."

——

"Master Chen, please take a seat!" Although Yu Chipeng was a warrior and very domineering, he still did not dare to look down on someone who even Wei Gongcheng and Wang Ye valued, and poured the tea himself.

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment. The other party poured three cups of tea in total, and the last cup was given to the deputy general behind him, but he ignored the guard who was following him.

The guard was sent by the royal family. Are you so rude?

Chen Qing didn't dare to be rude when the other party was rude. He quickly poured the tea and looked at the person behind him: "Is this brother thirsty? Let's drink a cup of tea to moisten your mouth..."

The guard was stunned for a moment and remained silent. However, the new lieutenant behind Yuchi Peng sneered: "Don't you know, sir?"

Chen Qing was stunned and just about to ask what he knew, he saw the guard blinking his eyes. His eyes turned pure white, like paintings on paper. He was so shocked that he almost threw away the tea in his hand.

"That's right. Your Excellency is not from the capital, so it's normal for you not to know some common sense about the capital." The deputy general raised his lips slightly: "All the black-armored guards in the capital are the dummies of a certain great warlock in the palace. You don't need to worry about it. them….."

"That's it, there are really all kinds of wonders in the world..." Chen Qing cooperated and suddenly realized, but a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

This is not a magic trick!

Chen Qing quickly realized in his mind, Paper Painter, Mr. Origami among the Five Great Demon Craftsmen!

I didn't expect that the court would actually use a monster to monitor the capital. It's really interesting...

"Let's get down to business..." Yu Chipeng frowned. He was not used to the lieutenant's arrogant tone, especially to his friends. Even if the other person was from a poor family, it was difficult to teach him a lesson in front of guests, so he had to change the topic... ..

"My lord, where do you plan to start investigating?"

"Let's start with the candidates..." Chen Qing took a sip of tea and nodded: "There are only three days left before the crown prince chooses the concubine. The preliminary candidates must have been finalized. The Thousand-faced Fox must be here if he wants to disrupt the selection of the concubine. in."

Yu Chipeng nodded, and just as he was about to say it made sense, the deputy general next to him interrupted: "Is this young man too arbitrary? What if the demon fox is just trying to cause panic, but is not willing to take risks?"

Chen Qing frowned, what does it mean to be a little adult? What makes me so small?

"Gong Yan..." Yu Chipeng's voice was cold: "If you continue to behave like this, get out of here!"

The lieutenant general was stunned, and quickly stood up to accuse him. He was confused, didn't he mean that the general looked down on the literati?

Chen Qing curled her lips and continued: "I have just been notified to take over the case, and I don't know what the list of concubines is. Do you know where to get it?"

Yu Chipeng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "You should go to the Ministry of Rites to get it. The Ministry of Rites is probably off duty at this time, so I will take you directly to the Minister of Rites to get it."

Just as Chen Qing was about to nod, he saw a young boy running over in a hurry, delivering a list of names and saying, "Sir, General Wei Gongcheng asked me to give it to you."

Chen Qing took it and took a look, then put it on the table: "Is it the list of concubines? General Wei is very careful and has already completed it long ago."

When Yuchi Peng heard this, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes. That's right, ever since Gong Cheng followed him, he had never bothered about these trivial matters.

The deputy general named Wei Gongyan next to him was stunned for a moment, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. He was jumping up and down even though he was useless. Is it useful?

"There are a lot of people!" Chen Qing frowned. There were at least hundreds of people on the list. Is this the royal family's audition?

When will this be investigated?

"Master!" Just as Chen Qing was complaining in her heart, the boy from before hurried over again.

"What's wrong?" the deputy general asked impatiently.

"Yes...yes...it's Mr. Fei, the Minister of Punishment, who came to see me."

"You didn't tell me earlier!" The deputy general's eyes suddenly widened: "Please hurry up!!"

With that said, he led the boy towards the gate in a hurry. Yu Chipeng behind him frowned. He was not a person who liked to pay attention to small details, but this new deputy general sent by the Wei family really made people a little uncomfortable...

Chen Qing was also speechless. How did you teach this emotional intelligence at home?

As an outsider, I couldn't say much, so I had to change the subject and said, "Looking at the general's reaction, is this Mr. Fei very famous?"

"Well..." Yu Chipeng nodded: "Now, the most popular person in the court is Wang Ye, and the other one is him."

"Oh, that's it..."

"You want to recruit Wei Gongcheng?"

"Ahem..." Chen Qing almost choked as he took a sip of tea: "Can you hear it from such a distance?"

"Gong Cheng is not low-spirited. It may be difficult for you to recruit him..."

"Haha, I just said that casually..." Chen Qing hurriedly said haha. After all, it was quite embarrassing to poach someone in front of him and be heard clearly.

"I think General Wei is in a bad mood. If you don't have anything else to do, you can go to Liuzhou to relax or something. There's nothing else interesting..."

"If you really want to recruit him, let me help you!"

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Real or false?"

"But it depends on your ability!" Yu Chipeng smiled: "You accept this errand, do you know what it means?"

"represents what?"

"It means you will be the prefect of Liuzhou. If not..." Yuchi Peng's smile became a little ferocious: "I'm afraid you will have to stay in the capital!"

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted solemnly: "General, you have made an agreement with me. If this case is completed, you will have to help me persuade..."

Yu Chipeng's smile froze and he looked at the other party in surprise.

There are so many capable people in the court who dare not guarantee that they can find the Thousand-faced Fox. This kid... is so confident! !
