Come to eat fruit: "Jiang Li's elder brother came to see him."
Zhou Shule stepped forward, and when he saw Ying Qiao, he was taken aback for a long while before stammering: "Ying, Ying..."
Ying Qiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately answered his words with a smile: "Hi Uncle Zhou, I'm Ying Qiao, Jiang Lu's elder brother."
Uncle Zhou shook his hand and almost threw the teacup out of his hand in fright.
The author has something to say:
Longlong: If you can't be a father, it's good to be an older brother.
Bixi:...
Bi An: Shameless! roll!

Longlong really has two faces.

Chapter 19
Zhou Xu was originally Li Er's mount Qingniu. He had already developed his spiritual wisdom, but he was always ignorant. After Li Er took him as a mount, he often accompanied Li Er and listened to him preaching, and then stepped into the road of practice by accident. Later, the Zhou royal family declined, and the classics under Li Er's management were brought to the state of Chu by Wang Zichao. In order to increase gradually, after Li Er passed away a hundred years ago, he finally took human form.
Calculating the time, it has been more than two thousand years.
At that time, he was still a little demon who had just transformed into a form. The Zhou Dynasty was in decline, and the lords competed for the throne. In the end, Qin ruled the world. After the unification of the first emperor, when he came back from outside the customs, he was lucky enough to meet Yinglong when he passed the Pengcheng area of Surabaya.
It was about the 28th year of the first emperor. The first emperor intended to follow the example of King Yu "listing the tripod in Yangcheng" and sent a large number of people to find the whereabouts of the Jiuding. Later, he learned that the lost place of the Jiuding was in Pengcheng, Sishui. So after fasting and praying at the shrine by Surabaya, more than a thousand people were sent into the water to look for Jiuding. But when he finally found the tripod, a Yinglong suddenly appeared in the water, bit the rope binding the tripod, and set off a huge wind and waves, hindering the first emperor's search for the tripod.
The first emperor is the emperor of the human race, the ninety-five supreme being, and he has great luck. Yinglong is a god of the lower world, unpredictable and unruly.
The two sides confronted each other in Surabaya for more than ten days. In the end, Emperor Shihuang gave up the Jiuding, and Yinglong rolled the Jiuding and sank into Surabaya again.
That was the first time he saw Ying Long. At that time, he just caught a glimpse of Ying Long, and he was overwhelmed by the tyrannical aura of the ancient witch god.
Later, while he was cultivating, he paid attention to the news of Yinglong, and only then did he realize that the Yinglong he saw was not the one that was said to have helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chiyou in the lower realms.
The Yinglong clan was originally a god clan in the sky. Because of the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, Yinglong Gengchen led a group of dragons to help in the battle, beheaded Chiyou, and killed Kuafu. However, due to the exhaustion of divine power, he could not return to heaven, and was forced to stay in the lower realm, living in Daze in the south for a long time.
The Ying Long he saw in Surabaya was a little dragon that followed Geng Chen to the lower realm.
Geng Chen had great righteousness in his heart, and later helped King Yu control the waters, beheaded Wuzhi Qi... and finally disappeared completely in the world due to exhaustion of divine power.
It is said that before he completely dissipated, he injected the last trace of his dragon soul into the nine cauldrons cast by King Yu.
Later, Jiuding moved three times, went through the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, lost it when the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Qin, and was found by Yinglong in Surabaya decades later.
After that, neither Ying Long nor Jiu Ding disappeared.
Zhou Xu, on the other hand, gradually cultivated from a little demon who had just cultivated human form to a big one.
And when he saw Ying Long again, it was not long after the Huaguo Security Department was established.
In the era of the end of the Dharma, faith does not exist, and countless witches and gods dissipate. The monster race and practitioners are struggling. The only remaining witches and gods in the world are also in name only.
Ying Qiao is also on the list.
In order to survive under the Dao of Heaven, both the big demons and practitioners began to actively cooperate with the Ministry of Security, and began to form the earliest demon management bureau and special management bureau, seeking a way to coexist peacefully with human beings.
Zhou Xu was transformed by Li Er's great kindness, and was touched by Geng Chen's actions when he was young, and he also actively participated in it.
Because of the relationship in his early years and his admiration for Geng Chen and Ying Long's clan, he once took the initiative to approach Ying Qiao.
But gradually he discovered that although Ying Qiao and Geng Chen belonged to the same family, their ideas were completely different.
Geng Chen cared about the land and the human race, and was even willing to sacrifice himself; but Ying Qiao probably hated the land and even the human race.
— This is actually his guess after contacting Ying Qiao.
Ying Qiao is powerful. At first, the Ministry of Security invited him to be the director of the General Bureau of the Demon Control Bureau, but he refused without hesitation. After many invitations from various parties, he reluctantly accepted the post of deputy director of the Jiangcheng Demon Management Bureau.
But it is said that Zhou Xu knows that he rarely participates in the management of the Demon Management Bureau.
Like other big demons, he seems to have gradually integrated into human society, opened a company, lived in human cities, and occasionally, when the country was in trouble, he could also ask this great god to help.
But Zhou Xu discovered from the few meetings he had with him that his eyes had never changed.
Beneath the surface of indifference, lies a deeper disgust.
He has been trying his best to disguise himself and create an illusion of peace.
Zhou Xu didn't tell anyone about his discovery, but there was always a vague worry in his heart. A few years ago, he retired, and the reason why he came from the capital to the small place of Jiangcheng to retire was precisely because of this inexplicable worry.
Although he withdrew, he knew more or less about the news of the Demon Management Bureau.
For example, Ying Qiao's temper has become more and more irritable in recent years, and even the few big monsters who have been friends with him dare not provoke him easily.
Fortunately, his bad temper turned out to be bad, but what Zhou Xu was most worried about didn't happen.
This somewhat relieved Zhou Xu.
But he never expected that Ying Long, who had been observing secretly, would suddenly appear in the small street office and call him "Uncle Zhou" politely.
It's not so like the Ying Long he knows.
In addition to being terrified, Zhou Xu was somewhat flattered.
He glanced at Jiang Li, then at Ying Qiao, keenly noticed something in Ying Qiao's threatening eyes, and immediately followed Ying Qiao's words obediently and said: "So it's Xiao Jiang...Jiang Li's brother, welcome."
The smile on Ying Qiao's face became more sincere, and he even took out a box of tea from another bag, and said politely: "Jiang Li said that you like drinking tea, and it happens that there are a lot of tea at home, so I brought you a box tea."
Uncle Zhou almost couldn't keep the smile on his face when he heard him say "you".
Only then did Hao Xuan restrain himself from bending down to pick it up.
Ying Qiao distributed the snacks he brought to the three people in the office, and the last bag left was for Jiang Li and Xiao Suanni. He was already familiar with Suan Ni, he picked up the little furball, stroked his little head gently, took out a bag of dried ray and put it between his little claws.
The meat of the ray is tender, sour and sweet, and the taste is very popular with the cubs. But because the ray lives in the East China Sea and is good at flying, it is difficult to catch. Therefore, dried ray fish is a very rare and expensive snack. Only wealthy parents who love their cubs will buy them for their cubs.
In the bag that Ying Qiao brought, there were four or five bags of dried ray. They are all prepared for Xiao Suan Ni.
As a qualified parent, one must not only raise the little monster well, but also love the house and the birds, and even take good care of the little monster's younger brother.
After all, the little monster is his family's cub, rounded up, and of course the little monster's younger brother is also his family's cub.
Now that there are three people in the family and two cubs, Ying Qiao is really worried.
Smelling the scent, Suan Ni couldn't wait to tear open the bag, holding the dried fish in her paws and chewing seriously, with a happy grunt in her throat.
Jiang Greed nodded his round ears that he kept pinching back: "Gluttony."
Suan Ni had no time to look up after eating, and grunted twice in response.
Ying Qiao looked at the two brothers, his brows and eyes gradually became warm, he put the unpacked box into a garbage bag, and said to Jiang Li: "I'm going to throw out the garbage, and go to the toilet by the way."
"Then I'll wait for you here." Jiang Greed said.
Ying Qiao nodded, turned around and walked out of the office.
At the corner of the office, Zhou Xu was waiting.
Without the little monster around, Ying Qiao's expression turned cold, with slight creases between his brows, he lifted his feet and walked towards the bathroom.
He didn't say a word, but Zhou Xu spontaneously followed behind him.
It was already past the rush hour, and the bathroom was quiet and empty. Zhou Xu closed the door, hung up the cleaning sign, and cast a small spell to block the prying eyes of the outside world, before bending down respectfully: "Mr. Ying."
Ying Qiao looked at him coldly.
"I didn't expect the dignified Deputy Director Zhou to hide in a small street. How could the capital be willing to let you go?"
Zhou Xu smiled, with deep and many wrinkles on his face, he looked like a real old man: "You can also see that I am old, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and it is time to rest."
He always bowed his waist slightly, his eyes were drooping, and he didn't look directly at Ying Qiao.
This is probably the insurmountable gap between races. Even though he has lived for more than 2,000 years, compared with an ancient monster like Ying Long, he is still like mountains and grains of sand.
But thinking of Jiang Li, who still doesn't know anything, he restrained the fear in his heart, and tentatively said: "Jiang Li is just an ordinary little demon, Mr. Ying treats him..."
Few of the high-ranking big monsters are willing to get close to ordinary little monsters. He was worried that Ying Qiao had other purposes for getting close to Jiang Li, so he asked more.
He originally thought that the temptation would make Ying Qiao unhappy, but Ying Qiao seemed quite happy, and said with a little pride: "Jiang Li is my family's cub, he is young, and the Labor and Weekly Bureau will take care of him in the future."
Zhou Xu didn't even dare to speak, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing this man's complacency, it seems that Jiang Li really fell in love with him.
Then he doesn't have to worry about it.
Ying Qiao caught his relieved expression, snorted slightly, and said casually: "I'm afraid to scare Jiang Li, I haven't told him my real identity yet. I now
