After Li Chaoge finished speaking, the emperor and Tian were taken aback for a moment before realizing what she was talking about.
"Chao Ge?" Tian? Hou Shu was surprised and asked in amazement, "What did you say?"
Li Chaoge straightened his body, lowered his eyes slightly, and bowed to the emperor and Empress Dowager with his hands together: "My minister said, I am willing to share the worries of the saint and Empress Dowager and capture this demon."
The Queen of Heaven and the Emperor looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Days later, he calmed down, called Li Chaoge up, and said, "Chaoge, it's good for you to have this kind of filial piety, but that monster is too dangerous, even the guards of the Habayashi Army can't catch it, let alone you Little girl? Luoyang is blessed by dragon energy, and there are many Buddha statues in the city to suppress it. You can rest assured that this monster will not be able to get out of the water."
Li Chaoge looked up, looked straight into the eyes of the Queen of Heaven, and said, "Queen of Heaven, I didn't say these words just to invite favors, I really wanted to do something for the court and the people. That demon Charm energy mixed into the capital, cannibalize people's brains, it can be seen that it has been transformed into form. At the beginning, it picked the weaker scholars, and gradually turned into two people, indicating that its power is gradually growing. If it is left unchecked, its power will become more and more The stronger it is, the predation target will no longer be limited to? Scholars, maybe, it will no longer be limited to? Late night. At that time, demons walking in the daytime in Luoyang will cause chaos, and if you are not careful, it will lead to? Catastrophe. "
How could the empress and the emperor not know what Li Chaoge said? They had experienced the Shuofang Rebellion, and they especially understood the impact of these demons and ghosts on the hearts of the people. Peace is rare in the world, and the emperor did not want the tragedy of Chang'an to repeat itself in Luoyang City.
The emperor pondered for a while and asked: "Chaoge, how much do you have? Are you sure?"
The emperor's question like this shows that he has wavered. It stands to reason that Li Chaoge should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Regardless of whether it can be completed or not, he must first get the task in hand. But Li Chaoge thought about it, and didn't take it all in, but said truthfully: "I don't want to draw conclusions until I see that monster. But it haunts at night, and its targets are all young men." , I think? It should? be a monster good at charm. Since it needs to rely on charm to win, its strength will not be too strong. If someone cooperates, I should? be able to take it down."
The emperor kept his face sullen and didn't speak. After looking around, he frowned and said: "But after all, it is an uncivilized and cruel monster. Jing Zhaoyin mobilized thousands of Yulin soldiers and couldn't stop it. You are only sixteen years old. It's too dangerous to come into contact with these things." Li Chaoge shook his head slowly, and said: "The Queen of Heaven, the Habayashi Army fought the enemy bravely, and their martial arts are extraordinary, but these are monsters, and force alone is useless. Although my ability is low, after all, I have studied magic with Mr. Zhou for several years, and I have a little experience in subjugating demons. The monster is getting stronger and stronger, and sending the Habayashi army will only make the soldiers foolish If you lose your life, it may even encourage the monster to upgrade. Why don't you let me go and capture it in one fell swoop while it is still in its infancy."
The emperor has seen Li Chaoge kill a bear with his own eyes, and knows that she is indeed superior, but killing a bear and killing a demon are two different things after all. Although the black bear last time was strong, it looked like an animal, and it was not in the same breath as a brain-eating monster like Dongdu. Humans are instinctively afraid of the unknown, perhaps the black bear is more lethal, but the emperor is still worried about the monster Dongdu.
The emperor still hesitated, frowning and said: "But, you don't even know what it looks like, what if something goes wrong? What should you do?"
At this time, the emperor's indecision was revealed, and it was up to the Empress to really make up her mind. Li Chaoge looked at the Queen of Heaven, and bowed respectfully: "Please ask the saint, Queen of Heaven, to be complete, and give me a chance to eliminate harm for the people."
Tianhou pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then motioned the maid to help Li Chaoge get up, and said slowly: "Since you want to serve the country, it's okay to try. But, you have to promise that you will never put yourself in danger You must come back safely."
Li Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Obey, my servant must be careful, and never let the sage empress worry."
The emperor was used to asking the Queen about everything, and when the Queen said yes, the emperor thought it was okay. He sighed, still worried, Xu Xu said: "You are too dangerous alone, I will send some people from Beiya to protect you, is a hundred rides enough?"
This troll is different from the black bear demon. The troll hides in Dongdufang City, and manpower is needed to ambush, investigate, and hunt it down. However, the six guards of the Beiya were all strong young men, so they could capture thieves and calm chaos, but they might not be able to catch monsters.
Li Chaoge thought about it for a while, raised his eyes and said, "I have a few candidates, and I would like to ask the sage and queen of heaven to show me a favor and allow me to choose my own manpower."
These are trivial things, the emperor thought? Didn't even think about it? He agreed: "Okay. This is the token of the Beiya. If you are short of manpower, you can go to the Six Guards to transfer people at any time. You must not take risks alone."
Hearing it a few days later, he raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and glanced at the emperor lightly, with an indistinguishable look in his eyes. The emperor didn't care about the military talisman, and he didn't feel that his words gave Li Chaoge much power. In his opinion, Li Chaoge is just a little girl. Even if she has learned a whole body of skills, she is only powerful in martial arts. How brave can she be
So the emperor confidently handed the tortoise talisman to the servants, and signaled them to pass it to Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge originally planned to refuse, but when she saw the simple and thick turtle charm, she changed her mind again.
The soldier talisman is a rare item, and it is not easy to touch it once. Even if she doesn't need it this time, it doesn't matter if she holds it in her hand to enjoy herself. Anyway, it was the emperor himself who spoke.
Li Chaoge accepted the tortoise talisman without changing his face, and solemnly bowed to his superior: "Thank you saint, the queen of heaven is perfect. My son will never disgrace his life, and will never disappoint the trust of the saint and queen of heaven."
The emperor didn't take it seriously, and still told Li Chaoge to pay attention to safety. Li Chaoge responded one by one, and when she saw that it was almost time, she got up and left.
Now the monsters are still committing crimes in Luoyang, every extra day of delay? Maybe one more person will die. With the imperial examinations just around the corner, it would be unwise to let the panic spread.
The emperor was also worried about the situation outside, so he didn't stay any longer when he saw the situation, and let Li Chaoge go out.
After Li Chaoge came out of the Wencheng Palace, he looked at the time. It was one o'clock in the morning, and the curfew would soon be over. Li Chaoge didn't waste time, and immediately took the tortoise charm and walked outside the palace gate.
Fighting alone is not a long-term solution. Before catching the monster, she must first find a few helpers.

In Beili, Bai Qianhe was leaning on the slum, slapping his fingers with the beard, and holding the wine glass in the other hand. The glamorous Orchid knelt beside Bai Qianhe, picked up a cherry, and gently put it in Bai Qianhe's mouth.
Beautiful people, fine wine, beautiful scenery, the gathering of the three beauties is simply a victory in the world. Bai Qianhe took a sip of his wine, and sang leisurely: "To be happy in life is to be happy to the fullest, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. Such a day would not be exchanged for a god."
Hu Ji surrounded Bai Qianhe and said with anger and resentment: "Bai Lang has friends all over the world, and I know that I am light and light, so I can't keep you. I just hope that Bai Lang will spend more time in Luoyang this time." Wait for a while, don't let the servants wait in vain."
Bai Qianhe naturally agreed, and shook Hu Ji's hand to express his heart. Bai Qianhe has traveled around the world, playing wild, and there are many confidante friends in various states, and this Orchid in front of me is one of them.
Bai Qianhe never stayed in any one place for a long time. After he escaped from Li Chaoge's singer, he originally planned to run away immediately, but then he thought about it. Li Chaoge had just returned to the palace, so he must be busy contacting his parents and brothers. Time may not take care of the outside world. It's rare for Bai Qianhe to come to Luoyang once, how about visiting Luoyang for a few days? By the way, he will meet his former confidante.
Bai Qianhe decided so happily, he went to the city without any hesitation, once he entered Luoyang, he went straight to Beili, and now he has been wandering in Hualou Restaurant for half a month.
Since ancient times, there must be gray industries in prosperous places. Chang’an Pingkangfang is famous all over the world. Luoyang Beili is a replica of Pingkangfang. Although the popularity is much lower, the beauties and wines are similar. These days, Bai Qianhe is living a life of drunkenness, unaware of the day and night, and is simply extremely happy.
He was exchanging heartfelt feelings with Hu Ji, when suddenly a young girl walked in from outside, stood close to the door, did not speak or express her opinion, and secretly glanced at Bai Qianhe one after another. Hu Ji noticed, she snorted softly, snatched the wine from Bai Qianhe's hand, squinted and asked: "Long time no see, you have added a lot of romantic debts. Is this your little lover?"
Bai Qianhe was wronged, he hurriedly said: "I am indeed promiscuous and flirtatious, but I have three principles for showing mercy to women, one is not to touch girls from good families, two is not to touch unwilling people, and three is not to touch virgins and young girls. The little girl's body hasn't grown yet, she looks like a ball of children, even if I have no bottom line, I won't be able to do such a heartless thing, right?"
Hu Ji knew Bai Qianhe's character. Although he walked in black and white, and did things like stealing and stealing, he was the most loyal person and would never touch the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. If Bai Qianhe said he didn't know this child, he really didn't know him.
Hu Ji believed her, and she turned her eyes, and asked: "Then she followed you eagerly, her eyes are staring at you, what do you want?"
Bai Qianhe also wanted to know. He stood up from the slum, waved to the little girl, and said, "Little sister, come here."
The little girl looked left and right, making sure she was talking about herself, and approached quietly. Bai Qianhe stuffed a bun for the little girl and asked, "Little sister, who are you?"
The little girl stammered and said, "I do odd jobs here, and I'm usually in the kitchen."
Bai Qianhe looked at Hu Ji, who nodded slightly. Bai Qianhe asked again: "Why are you staring at me? Do you know me?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know. But just now a beautiful sister gave me a bunch of copper coins and asked me to pass this note to you."
Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows, and a figure appeared in front of him instantly. He bowed his head, took the note in the little girl's hand, and slowly opened it.
"Five o'clock at Xu time? See you at the South Gate of Beishi."
After the little girl handed him the note, she ran away with the bun in her arms. Hu Ji waved her fan and watched for a while, seeing Bai Qianhe completely lost in thought, she raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and asked, "Which confidante asked you out again?"
Bai Qianhe shook his head, and with a slight force on his palm, he turned the note into powder. He didn't ask who the messenger was, what his body and appearance were like, even if he didn't ask, he knew who it was.
Bai Qianhe rested his hands behind his back and leaned carelessly against the screen. After a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Is it so dishonest? Ask someone for help, and you don't even show your face?"
In fact, Li Chaoge was not insincere, she handed the note to the little girl and left, not because she didn't pay attention to Bai Qianhe, but because she had more important things to do.
The curfew is imminent, and soon all the doors in Luoyang will be locked. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had to go to a place as soon as possible.
Inside the prison, the guard took out the key, and when he opened the door, he still couldn’t help turning his head? Remind: "Princess Anding, all the prisoners here are serious criminals, and they are all vicious criminals. They will be executed after this autumn." .Are you sure you want to go in?"
Li Chaoge nodded and said, "I know. Open the door."
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, the guard sighed and opened the door resignedly. Forget it, these princes and nobles always have new ideas every day, and the little people can't control it, and they can't control it.
The jailer unlocked the dark and heavy lock, pushed the door open for Li Chaoge, but refused to go in: "Princess, the ground is slippery, be careful where you step."
As the cell door opened, a decaying, dark, stale smell mixed with the smell of blood rushed over. Li Chaoge adjusted to the light, and then calmly walked into the death cell.
The jailer was worried that Li Chaoge wouldn't be able to adapt to the atmosphere in the prison, but he didn't know that the prison of the demon master in his previous life was much bloodier than here. Li Chaoge was wearing delicate and clean moccasin boots, and stepped step by step on the pitch-black ground, whether it was dust or blood, the prisons on both sides were quiet, only the sound of Li Chaoge's footsteps echoed, eerie and strange.
Li Chaoge quickly stopped in front of a prison, and inside, a black figure was staring at the north wall motionless.
In prison? The man is hidden in the darkness, his muscles are knotted, his body is huge, his arms are thicker than ordinary people's legs, but his limbs and neck are tied with iron chains, his body is like a small tower, black and dense, The pressure is amazing.
Even with this appearance, it doesn't hide the dangerous aura on him. But his performance was completely contrary to his dangerous appearance. Li Chaoge had already stopped in front of the door, but he didn't respond. He was still staring at the wall absent-mindedly, and seemed completely lazy to pay attention to everything outside.
Li Chaoge didn't care about the other party's contempt, she spoke unhurriedly, and said: "Zhou Shao, a person from Fenzhou, when he was young, he gathered ruffians, fought fiercely, robbed families and robbed houses, Yonghui washed his hands in the golden basin in the fifteenth year, and quit black and white. Yonghui Twenty-one years ago, I killed the son of the governor of Jinzhou on the street. But you?"
The person in the prison is like a statue. Even when he heard his name, he didn't respond. He said coldly, "Since you know it, why bother to ask? I've already said that if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you. But I will not plead guilty."
Li Chaoge nodded his head and said, "Okay. As a commoner, you attacked officials and killed the son of the governor of Jinzhou. It is a capital crime for civilians to offend officials. You have been sentenced to beheaded. You will be beheaded after autumn. You will never be killed." Hui Hui had already washed his hands in the golden basin in fifteen years, and kept his own law and order for six years without causing any disputes. It stands to reason that he would not kill people easily. But you just killed the son of a third-rank official in the court and refused to admit your mistake. Dali Temple Because your circumstances are bad and you have no intention of repenting, you will be sentenced to death. You will be executed after this autumn, and you will not participate in the world amnesty. Zhou Shao, you were considered a powerful figure in those years, and now you have come to this end. Do you have any ideas?"
After hearing this, Zhou Shao was silent for a long time, then sneered, and said, "Beheading? It's just a scar the size of a bowl. If it dies, it dies. What's the point of talking about it? I don't know who you are, but you can appear here. I think you are a person of status. I have nothing to say with you people in the court. If you want to listen to the confession and admit your mistakes, then you should change the place."
In Zhou Shao's words, there was great hostility towards the imperial court. Li Chaoge did not explain. She paced slowly outside the prison, as if measuring the area of the prison. In the corridor? The lights were dim, fading from time to time. She walked to the junction of the light and asked suddenly: "What if I give you another choice?"
