Knowing that I have someone behind me, if you bully me, you will be beaten, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't bully you, what am I afraid of? Instead, will your master let you play here all the time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing more than thinking that I am fishing for you; what's strange about this to our sect...\" Pei Chuyun said leisurely: \"She won't care too much about how I implement it... but...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The past she told me might have a bit of a warning meaning in it.\" Pei Chuyun turned around, hugging Lu Xingzhou's neck, her smiling eyes curved: \"After all, my mother was made pregnant by someone for nothing; do you guess if I will have a bit of self-warning after hearing it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou immediately said: \"I won't be as scummy as Father-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun spat: \"Who is your Father-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her eyes flowed, and she said with a grin: \"But the things you originally had a good hope of cheating, now the difficulty has doubled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou whispered in her ear: \"Was there really hope originally?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no.\" Pei Chuyun shrank her neck as if she were ticklish, and scolded: \"You are like a pig in heat as soon as you come back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was dumbfounded: \"It's clearly you who opened your mouth and closed your mouth with this topic, and you blame me when I follow your wishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun hummed twice, leaning in his arms and not moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of being uneasy and full of confusion before he came back vanished in a few words, and instead, only full peace remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that as long as he is there, she can be at ease; those messy things, just have him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's really annoying; clearly, her strength can beat him up, how could it be like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's hard to say what attitude Pei Qingyan has, but the master's attitude here is obvious, and she doesn't mind saying it directly: she just wants her to be a nail inserted by the Hehuan Sect into the Pei family, and she doesn't give enough trust, requiring her to give proof herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this is a matter of course for the demon sect, it is ultimately the sect where she grew up for eighteen years, but the feeling of stopping and relying on people is not as good as Lu Xingzhou, whom she has only known for a short time, which inevitably makes the literary little demoness sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ridiculous... She even jokingly threatened him that \"there is someone behind me,\" heaven knows that the person behind her is actually him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, he is hugging from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun adjusted her posture comfortably and muttered: \"I'm tired, hold me to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's noon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can't I take a nap?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay.\" Lu Xingzhou picked her up very dotingly and put her on the bed, but he didn't lie down, just sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her hair: \"Rest well, I'll read a book beside you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun grabbed his hand and wouldn't let him go, her voice still carrying a bit of anxiety: \"Pei... his attitude since seeing me yesterday has been distracted; I think he must have started investigating secretly. If there are no accidents, he will come to the door in these two days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou knew that Pei Chuyun still had a bit of longing for family affection deep in her heart, especially under the naked interest relationship of the demon sect, she wanted to know if her father's side would be a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a helpless little kitten who has encountered a sudden change... She doesn't want any answer, she just needs him to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou rubbed her little hand and showed a relaxed smile: \"Follow your heart; even if someone in the Pei family is unfavorable to you, Pei Qingyan should protect you. Remember our outline, as long as we are lazy enough, we are invincible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun said: \"What about your business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? What business?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You went out today and came back so late; is there anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me... I'm waiting for the Huo family to invite me to dinner, or invite me to tour the garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun widened her eyes: \"You also want to recognize your relatives?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong.\" Lu Xingzhou smiled slightly: \"I want to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun finally found her sense of existence: \"I'll help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou pinched her nose: \"Of course, you are my little maid; the young master wants to kill, why don't you hand over the knife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun angrily took his hand, but didn't refute, instead hugging his arm and closing her eyes: \"The little maid is going to sleep, not allowed to talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou looked at his arm held by her helplessly, and didn't pull it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo sighed in her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why did you rent this courtyard with three rooms? One is always empty; wouldn't it be fine to just open two rooms? Save so much money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Demon Suppression Division in the afternoon, all departments were solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only daughter of the first Deputy Chief Sheng Qingfeng, Sheng Yuanyao, the manager of the Capital Thief Catching Division, was assassinated and injured during a garden tour in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to witnesses, if it weren't for a wheelchair person descending from the sky, it would have been called assassinated and died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The culprit was Ye Wufeng, the soul-detaining envoy of the Yama Hall, who was the main culprit in the murder case in the suburbs of the capital that Sheng Manager had been investigating recently; this was a naked retaliatory strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also in the garden tour were Pei Yu, the son of the Pei Prime Minister's family, and more than a dozen young masters and ladies from large and small families in the capital. This was not only stepping on the face of the Demon Suppression Division into the mud, but also a serious provocation to the public security of the capital of the Great Qian. Prime Minister Pei personally asked about it, and the old head of the division, who had not asked about affairs for a long time and just drank tea waiting for retirement, was furious and rarely smashed a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Chief Sheng was even more black-faced and called the relevant subordinates in one by one to scold them for a full half hour, and then personally took on this task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his level, he rarely personally took charge of cases below Grade 3... The first person in charge of this case was indeed Sheng Yuanyao, who was lying on the bed now, and the father had to find the place back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this place is not too easy to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the Demon Suppression Division had a vague judgment about the location of the Yama Hall's station in the capital. After all, the Yama Hall had been taking business, and no matter how detailed the wind-releasing system was, it was easy to find flaws if it remained unchanged; the Demon Suppression Division had been watching, and already had some grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To retaliate, Sheng Qingfeng had full confidence in finding this station within a day and ending it, at least to show momentum on the surface, not losing the face of the Demon Suppression Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the daughter said sullenly on the bed, let the others of the Yama Hall go... The reason was also very reasonable, saying that Ye Wufeng might not even be at the Yama Hall station, and blind strikes would cause too much movement, which would easily let Ye Wufeng run away. Her enemy was Ye Wufeng, not others; wouldn't it be in vain to lose the watermelon by hitting the sesame...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being said so, big movements were not easy to do, and it was not easy to precisely target Ye Wufeng for capture? Heaven knows where Ye Wufeng is now; maybe he has already left the capital? Does the Demon Suppression Division have to eat this dumb loss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingfeng paced back and forth and ordered: \"You go to disguise as customers first, specify that the soul-detaining envoy should come out to kill, and see how the people of the Yama Hall respond.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subordinate said: \"Task target?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Filter the task target, find one that won't arouse the Yama Hall's suspicion and that Ye Wufeng will be interested in taking action...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, judging from various information, Lu Xingzhou has a certain possibility of being a former judge of the Yama Hall. Should we choose him as the target? How about we go and communicate with him first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingfeng: \"...Don't choose him. If something goes wrong, someone will make trouble with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subordinate: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In addition, keep the matter of Lu Xingzhou being suspected of being a judge in your stomach. Suspecting things that have not been confirmed is detrimental to people's reputation; this is a newcomer alchemist who is going to take the Alchemy Academy assessment, not someone to splash dirty water on. On another level, even if he was a judge, he is no longer one now; if he really enters the Alchemy Academy, it is abandoning darkness for light, and it should not be brought up again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and filter some other candidates. There are so many people available in the capital, you only thought of one Lu Xingzhou? Why don't you go find Pei Yu; his grandmother, shouldn't he give me an explanation for this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report!\" A subordinate ran in panting outside the door: \"Something happened again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingfeng frowned: \"What are you panicking about? Speak slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Qingchen said he was going to an appointment, left the Pei family to go to the teahouse for afternoon tea... Just as he arrived at the teahouse door, he was stabbed in the throat by Ye Wufeng who had been lurking for a long time, and then left a sentence 'Ye is right in front of you, what are you going to do,' and fled away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main hall of the Demon Suppression Division, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stealing glances at Sheng Qingfeng's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too arrogant... Teahouse, this is killing in the city! This is the capital! Under the feet of the Son of Heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yama Hall was arrogant before, because the Yama King was arrogant. Unexpectedly, the newcomers below learned from the Yama King, and were just as arrogant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's really narrow-minded and vengeful.\" After a long while, someone whispered: \"This sentence is a response to Chu Qingchen's words before, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Qingchen is at least from a famous family, Grade 4 upper stage, ranked seventh among newcomers, and is so unbearable that he couldn't even take one move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first is the first after all... Not to mention it was an assassination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingfeng said coldly: \"Whose appointment was Chu Qingchen going to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard...\" The subordinate hesitated: \"I heard it was Huo Jin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastard!\" Sheng Qingfeng smashed the table with one palm: \"What is the Huo family doing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone didn't answer. In fact, this doesn't necessarily prove that the Huo family colluded with Ye Wufeng; it's normal for the Huo family to want to get to know the seventh newcomer, and it's not strange that the news leaked and was learned by Ye Wufeng, who laid an ambush in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has to be said that Ye Wufeng's sense of oppression was fully created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first person on the newcomer list is indeed extraordinary... After being messed with like this, those who have offended him don't even dare to go out easily. Speaking of which, Ye Wufeng doing this seems to have the meaning of deliberately showing off his power, a bit like proving that the Yama Hall has no judge, and there are stronger people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no high-generation powerhouses, it would be impossible for Sheng Yuanyao and those young people to deal with it, and it seems reasonable to have reached the current messy situation of casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingfeng laughed in anger: \"He is just the first newcomer, not the first in the world! Even if the Yama King came in person, he wouldn't dare to be as arrogant as him! Deacon Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate hurriedly saluted: \"Here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take people to deploy far away first, and watch the range of the suspected Yama Hall station. If there is any trace of Ye Wufeng, report it immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and disguise as a customer immediately, and make an appointment with Pei Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Qingfeng pulled his collar and cursed: \"What first newcomer, just a rat. If he didn't rely on sneak attacks, his frontal ability might not even be better than Princess Chaohuang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinates didn't answer. The words might be right, but he himself practiced the way of assassination...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Qingchen hung up?\" In the inn, Lu Xingzhou also heard the exclamations and conversations of people outside, and whispered to himself: \"Not one listened to advice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun, who woke up from her nap, leaned lazily on the head of the bed and yawned: \"Why don't you say that your Yama Hall's way of assassination is disgusting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The way of assassination...\" Lu Xingzhou sighed: \"It sounds disgusting... but it also means that as long as you can create a situation where he has to face you head-on, his threat can be weakened by half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Chuyun's eyes shone: \"What ghost idea do you have again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words were finished, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard: \"Is Young Master Lu here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Nuo opened the door and poked her head out to ask: \"Who is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A servant-like person smiled apologetically: \"I am the attendant of the Fifth Young Master Huo... The Fifth Young Master invites the Mistress to Yanyu Building to talk again, saying that he offended the Mistress a few days ago and wants to apologize to the Mistress. For the sake of being one family, let's resolve the previous grievances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou smiled but didn't smile: \"Isn't this coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2391,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d8ad524211c8b5225bbe9b2aece51fd2417dccf749bd26a1861c3b8c99de4f4e","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-117","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-115",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
