Chapter 278 Strange Direction Change

"Hey, where are you going?"

Looking at Shen Houbai who was going away, Xia Ruoyan shouted.

However, until he disappeared, Shen Houbai did not turn around to respond.

Xia Ruoyan finally understood that Shen Houbai could only see her when it was useful, and he couldn't see or hear her when it was useless...

Since there is a shadow demon, Shen Houbai can basically be sure that he should be targeted by the demon.

So he can't stay here.

As the saying goes, it's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Although there is a system alert, but an assassination occurs from time to time, no one can stand it.

Therefore, Shen Houbai decided to change places. After all, the capital of Daxia is so big, it is not easy to change places.

I don't know if it is related to the demons, the people of the imperial capital can be said to stay at home, and those businesses are almost half open and half closed.

So it was not easy to change places just now, but the next moment it was a slap in the face.

There are several inns in a row, and the doors of the inns are all closed.

It's no wonder... Now that the capital of Great Xia is under siege, people outside can't get in, people inside can't get out, and most of the people in the city have homes, so who would stay in an inn if they have nothing to do?

And if there are no guests, what's the point of opening the inn, and it will simply close down.

However, those restaurants, brothels and the like are quite prosperous. After all, people are strong, and food is fast.

As for the brothel, the ghost knows whether the capital will be gone in the next moment, and enjoy yourself in time, so many people in the city, and even the guards, will go to the brothel to find flowers and ask willows.

Because of this, restaurants and brothels have become the most popular places in the capital of Daxia, and they are also the busiest places.

Shen Houbai came to Qunfang Building again. He really couldn't find a place to live, so he planned to live in Qunfang Building. In fact, there is a wing room surrounded by crows, one hundred taels a day...

One hundred taels is almost a lot of money for an ordinary family, because many ordinary people live frugally for more than a year, and they only save a dozen taels, which shows how generous the crows are.

Of course...it's not my own money, so it won't hurt to spend it.

But this is only the money for the wing room. If you need to serve, you have to pay extra, especially the top names in Qunfanglou, each of whom is worth more than a thousand taels, so it is not like everyone in a brothel like Qunfanglou. Can come for entertainment.

"This guy... unexpectedly... actually came to the brothel."

Xia Ruoyan, who followed her all the way, saw Shen Houbai enter the Qunfang Tower, and immediately... her eyes widened.

"It's... really shameless."

After finishing speaking, Xia Ruoyan stomped her feet, turned and went back with a blushing face.

"Young master, what kind of girl do you need mother to find for you?"

"Mom here is fat, thin, plump, gentle, and pungent."

Looking at Shen Houbai's attire, the old bustard could tell that Shen Houbai should be a big customer, so she seemed very attentive and flattered Shen Houbai.

"Do not bother me."

He stretched out a hand, and at the same time, there was a 10,000 taels of silver bill between the index finger and middle finger.

Seeing the banknote, the old bustard's eyes immediately lit up.

"I want to live here, no problem." Shen Houbai said rather domineeringly.

"No...no problem, you can stay here as long as you want, Young Master."

After finishing speaking, the bustard took a silver note with a face value of 10,000 taels from Shen Houbai's hand.

And just when the old bustard was about to continue to say something, with a 'bang', Shen Houbai had already closed the door.

Seeing this, the old bustard couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Tsk, I've never seen anyone who comes to a brothel and doesn't play with girls, what a weird person."

But as she turned her gaze back to the banknote in her hand, the brilliance on the old bustard's face appeared again.

at the same time……

Outside the imperial capital, in a small bamboo forest building, a woman with the beauty of a city tapped a water vat in front of her with her jade finger. Ripples rippled with the clear water in the water vat. The woman pinched a long hair, and then Put into the water jar.

About three or four seconds later, Shen Houbai's face wearing the 'Ma Luo Mask' appeared in the water urn, but the next moment, the 'Ma Luo Mask' disappeared, and then Shen Houbai's face appeared.

And as Shen Houbai's face appeared in the water jar, behind the woman, a demon suddenly shouted.

"This face...isn't it the guy that the Bull Demon King offered a reward for?"

"you sure?"

Hearing the words of the monster behind her, the woman immediately turned her head and asked.

...

In less than half an hour, over the Great Xia Emperor Capital, there would be a breath of the demon king, or the breath of the devil king from time to time, and these breaths were all eightfold, ninefold, or at least sevenfold, as if in the sky. Looking for something.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the great monster's aura, the Great Xia Palace...including the Emperor Xia was at a loss.

"Your Majesty, this big monster is out, but it doesn't attack the people. It seems that they are looking for something."

A minister said to Emperor Xia with insight.

"Could it be that you know that Prince Dagan has come to Daxia, so you want to arrest Prince Dagan?"

Following this minister's opening, the other minister immediately thought of the chief executive, Yang Xuanji.

"It's possible."

The minister who spoke before said: "Let's not talk about the hundreds of thousands of troops from Dagan, even the five nine-fold kings, that is also a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh for the monster."

"So... it is very likely that it is aimed at killing the prince."

"Since this is the case, Aiqing will immediately go to the Yonghe Palace where the crown prince is staying, and tell the crown prince Yang Xuanji to be careful."

Although Emperor Xia is at the emperor level, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. It can be said that he thinks the same as this minister. The big monster that appears above the imperial capital from time to time should be looking for Yang Xuanji.

Of course, this is definitely not the case. The reason why these monsters appeared in large numbers was not looking for Yang Xuanji, but Shen Houbai they were looking for.

At this time, Shen Houbai, through the system map, looked at the danger signs that kept appearing and disappearing on the map, and Shen Houbai almost immediately realized that the appearance of this monster should be looking for him.

Then, things began to change in a strange direction. The focus of the monsters was no longer on attacking Daxia, but on finding Shen Houbai, because they already knew the true identity of the ghost face. people……

Let's put it this way, the Great Xia Emperor can fight at any time, but a drop of Emperor's blood from the Bull Demon King is not available at any time.

At this time, Shen Houbai did not hear anything outside the window, and was focused on practicing the 'Di Jue'. Imagine that the intermediate level of the 'Di Jue' had already raised his strength to the level of the ninth-fold king. What will happen later?

In addition, during the process of practicing the Emperor Art, Shen Houbai's Stellar Qi was also increasing rapidly.

Shen Houbai seems to have made the right bet, he may break through faster by self-cultivation than collecting demon cores and drawing knives...
