Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 157: Artisan
After returning to the palace, the demon king Jiang Duan ordered to lock the skin of the demon **** in the secret room where he kept his seals. Without its orders, even big figures like Wu Mian and Gui Bugui could not go in and touch them. Although it was called the secret room, Jiang Duan still ordered his cronies to guard it outside, and he would light up the wolf smoke whenever he found anything unusual. At that time, the demon king will rush over with his guards.
After Jiang Duan became king, he recruited craftsmen in the royal city to start rebuilding the palace. At the beginning, Wu Mian's fire was almost burned to ruins, and the palace where the demon king ascended the throne was still without a roof, and it was extremely shabby. Now that the Yaoshan is beginning to settle, it has begun to plan to rebuild the palace.
However, at that time the palace was drawn by Xu Fu himself, and was built by skilled craftsmen who were recruited by the great master from the world. Although thousands of years have passed, it is possible to draw the blueprint of the palace again, but these monster craftsmen on Yaoshan still do not have the ability to build the palace on the blueprint.
Jiang Duan can't always be in charge of Yaoshan's affairs in an almost abandoned palace, and now it can only ask for a return. Ask him to imitate the great master Xu Fu of that year, and find skilled craftsmen in the world to build a palace for it.
After listening to the demon king Jiang Duan's remarks, Gui Bugui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is easy to handle. I will write a letter to the old man and send it to the shop of the Sishui boat under the mountain, asking them to choose skilled craftsmen. Even the tools, stones and wood needed for construction can be brought in from outside the mountains, but Your Majesty, you must strictly control the monsters under your command, and you can't let them hurt these craftsmen."
"Naturally, those craftsmen are also the guests invited by this king, why are you willing to let the monsters hurt them?" After a pause, the demon king continued with a smile: "As long as you can invite the craftsmen, old man, The king sent demon soldiers to protect them, and will never let these craftsmen be harmed by demons."
At the moment, Gui Bugui wrote a letter in front of the demon king Jiang Duan. Afterwards, the demon king issued a special decree and sent his cronies down the mountain to deliver the letter to the shop on the Surabaya.
Almost ten days later, the reply from the Surabaya arrived. The letter was actually written by Liu Xi himself. It turned out that he and Sun Xiaochuan had already returned to land. They have already arrived in the capital to meet the little emperor Zhu Yunwen. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the country's fortunes have stabilized. Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan heard that Zhu Yunwen had a close relationship with Wu Mian and Gui Bugui. Permission to do business by sea is required.
Originally, the two of them wanted to go to Wu Mian first and return home, but when they returned to the land, they realized that they had been to Yaoshan for many days. The covenant made between the Sishui and Yaoshan has long since been voided, and the two brothers would not dare to send someone to the Yaoshan to find Wu Mian and return.
Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan were overjoyed when the letter was delivered to their brothers. At the moment, I hurriedly selected reliable skilled craftsmen and the wood, stone and other materials needed for the construction of the palace inside the Surabaya. When the people were all together, I had to bring it to the demon mountain in person. By the way, I wanted to make another covenant with the new demon king Jiang Duan.
After learning the news, the demon king was overjoyed. Immediately, an order was issued to prepare to welcome the two owners of the Surabaya, and a strict order was also issued. If any skilled craftsmen sent by the Surabaya were found to be harmed, they would be executed immediately after being caught, and their parents and two clans would also be annihilated.
Jiang Duan also swore to Guibufu that if these people were injured on the road, the demon king would give way immediately, and let Xiao Ren San, who has coveted this seat for a long time, come to be the demon king.
After more than half a month, the first batch of craftsmen selected by the Surabaya has arrived at Yaoshan. The demon king sent his chief to bring a hundred demon soldiers to meet him, and he also prepared to let the demon craftsmen learn. After building a new palace, there is no need to hire skilled craftsmen from the world. The demon king also intends to have a good relationship with the Sishui ship. In addition to these craftsmen, it is best to invite skilled craftsmen from other industries to enter the mountains and play against the methods created by the monsters.
The demon king counted with his fingers when the skilled craftsmen would arrive, but after three days in a row, he didn't see the steward bring those people over without saying anything, and even the news of those skilled craftsmen disappeared. This is something that the demon king is very fond of. It stands to reason that all the areas that pass through along the way should have a report to greet and send. As a result, people didn't see it or say it, and they didn't even see the report.
As a result, Jiang Duan couldn't hold his breath. It had sworn an oath before returning, and now it doesn't even bother to wait in the palace. Early in the morning of the third day, the demon king Jiang Duan personally took two thousand demon soldiers out of the king city to welcome him. It already had an ominous premonition in its heart, and before leaving the city, it invited Wu Mian, Gui Wugui and himself to come out to greet him. Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San were invited to stay in the royal city to guard the palace.
I inquired about the areas it passed along the way, and no one saw a team of people and demons passing by nearby. It seems that 80% of those people really have something wrong. The demon king did not dare to be careless, and continued to bring his own soldiers and move forward.
The demon king did not dare to use the escape method easily, but Wu Mian and Gui Bugui did not have this taboo. After seeing that there were still no traces of those people for a hundred miles out of the city, the two of them directly urged the Five-Star Escape Technique to the entrance of the Monster Mountain. I'm going to set off from Xiangwangcheng here and see if I can meet these people on the road. Hopefully, there is only a small problem among them that delays time, and there are no casualties.
At the entrance of Yaoshan Mountain, you can also find some traces left by the passing of carriages and horses. This should be the traces of wood and stone brought by craftsmen and pressed by other tools. The two hurried all the way, following the traces of the carriage and horses all the way to the location of the king city.
After traveling for more than 100 miles, the two finally saw dozens of carts parked on the loess road in front of them. After Wu Mian and Gui Bugui approached, they found that outside the vehicle, there was no shadow of a person or demon. The mules and horses pulling the carts were all slaughtered on the spot, and the bodies of the mules and horses had decayed. The position of the knife edge is already covered with dense maggots...
"No living people, no dead corpses..." After Kuai Bugui turned around, he continued to Wu Mian: "It is a good thing to have no dead corpses, at least they are afraid of you and me, and they still dare not kill people... …”
"Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan didn't go up the mountain together, did they?" Wu Mian glanced at the return, then turned around and continued: "There are so many craftsmen and demon soldiers, there are six Seven hundred, there is no trace of going out of the mountain, so I can't run very far."
After hearing Wu Mian's words, Gui Bugui gave a wry smile and said, "Old man, I don't think the same as you, and it may not be possible to keep so many people and monsters. Humans are originally food in the eyes of monsters. If it's really the remnants of the former demon king, three days have passed, and hundreds of people should have been eaten clean. Once the bones are dug and buried, no one can find them..."
When he said this, Gui Bugui stroked a few hairs on his head. After a pause, he continued: "But fortunately, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan didn't come up with them this time. The two of them are still in the capital, and they are negotiating with Yunwen about shipping. I'll take a look at the old man. Can you find one or two witnesses..."
While speaking, Gui Bugui used the method of flying into the air. After he turned around a few times above Wu Mian's head, suddenly a fierce man swooped in the southeast direction. After a while, the old guy teleported to Wu Mian with a little monster about the size of Xiao Ren San.
"I didn't do it! I don't know anything..." After the little monster was brought here, his face turned pale with fright. At the moment, it said and continued to Wu Mian with gestures: "I just ate a few of your horses... I don't know anything about other things... Let me go home. Don't bully me when I'm young"
"I ate a few of our horses..." After Kui Bugui smiled, he squatted on the ground and continued to face the little monster: "Tell me what happened to the old man, if you dare to lie to me, the old man , this account will be counted on you. There are a thousand little people and demons, enough for your whole family..."
