The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

Lu Zhaozhao followed the palace guard into the independent tent.

She looked around. The walls were covered in furs and leather. Next to it was a large sheepskin map with crisscrossing drawings of something, a feng shui map from somewhere. Beneath it was a sand basin marked with roads and rivers, seemingly used for commanding battles.

Walking in, at the top is a chair covered with tiger skin, which looks majestic and imposing. Behind it is a barrier. Only when you step in will you find a different world.

The Hu beds and armchairs were placed randomly around, and there seemed to be a copper oven in the middle.

When Lu Zhaozhao looked here, his gaze stopped.

The palace guard paid no attention to her actions, but walked to the shelf beside him and took out a gilded and blue-plated box from a compartment piled with books.

When I turned around, I found Lu Zhaozhao standing by the oven with an inquiring look on his face.

"What are you looking at? This oven?"

When Lu Zhaozhao heard the voice behind him, he realized that he was so engrossed in watching that he had forgotten that he was in the palace guard tent. He had to straighten his expression immediately.

"I just saw this thing as new and I was curious for a while."

She casually averted her eyes, pretending that she was really attracted by the small object.

The palace guard understood, nodded, and explained, "This item is called an owl-footed copper oven. It's used for heating. However, most people in the western territory are not afraid of frost, so this item is not common."

As expected, Lu Zhaozhao thought to herself. She had noticed since she entered that there were an outrageous number of human belongings in the tent.

If it was for the purpose of understanding during the war, then the sand tables and feng shui maps were acceptable, but the Huchuang and Jiaozhang chairs were too unexpected. It was not until he saw the oven, a thing that was completely useless in the Western Territory, that Lu Zhaozhao confirmed what he was thinking.

She feigned curiosity and asked, "Owl feet? Why is it an image like this? I rarely see such creatures in the Western Territory."

"This creature mostly grows in deep forests or wilderness. The Western Territory is mostly desert, so it's hard to find. Even if it does exist, I'm afraid it will be used as food in desert inns."

After listening to the palace guard's explanation, Lu Zhaozhao slowly began to ask what she wanted to ask. She asked, "So, this thing belongs to the human race?"

The palace guard's gaze fell on her, and Lu Zhaozhao looked back, unable to understand what he meant.

"Why do you think so?"

The palace guard asked, and Lu Zhaozhao thought for a moment before replying, "You said it yourself. Ovens are of little use in the Western Territory. Furthermore, the beasts on top aren't common there. And since it happened during a war, I imagine they were taken from the human race."

The palace guard did not answer yes or no, but simply skipped the topic, handed her a box and motioned her to open it.

Lu Zhaozhao opened it carefully and found a silk book in the center.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at the palace guard in confusion. The palace guard took out the silk book and said, "The Western Territory uses animal skins, such as sheepskin, to record things, while the human race uses this."

He spread it out, revealing the words written on the silk book.

Lu Zhaozhao glanced at it, then looked away and said, "Is the writing on it also human characters?"

"Yes." The palace guard paid no attention to Lu Zhaozhao's expression. He simply stared at the silk scroll with a sullen gaze, his tone harsh. "The two tribes have been isolated for a long time, and their writings are no longer mutually intelligible. Previously, when the Demon Lord was alive, he was still able to translate it. But now, even if we obtain the silk scroll that conveys information, we cannot decipher it."

Lu Zhaozhao saw that the frown between his brows didn't seem fake. After some thought, he asked tentatively, "I heard that Lord Demon King and Lord Demon Lord came together. Can't he solve the problem?"

"Although the Demon King came from the human race, his true form is still that of a beast. He simply descended to the human world by chance and was brought back by the Demon Lord a few years later. Therefore, he does not recognize human writing."

Although the palace guard's explanation was far-fetched, it did not have any loopholes. Lu Zhaozhao nodded, then pretended to be anxious and said, "What should we do?"

The palace guard looked at her and whispered, "Yes, the entire army is worried about this matter. If someone who knows how to decipher the code can show up at this time, he will be treated as a guest of honor."

Lu Zhaozhao looked at the palace guard and sneered in his heart.

Of course she could understand what was written there, but if she really said it out loud, not only would she not be able to be a guest of honor, she might as well save her life.

It seems that the palace guard has not let down his guard against her. It seems that everything from the moment she entered the camp and saw human things until now was just a test on his part. If she had shown the slightest mistake just now, even if it was just natural familiarity, she would have been captured immediately.

The thought frightened her so much that her hair stood on end. She couldn't help swallowing, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "The two tribes have been separated for a long time. It may not be easy to find such a capable person."

"Indeed." The palace guard withdrew his gaze, his tone returning to its original coldness. "The two tribes don't speak mutually intelligible scripts, so neither can decipher the other's messages. However, recently, the human race has sent many spies here, attempting to ambush the ordinary demons. The situation is becoming increasingly serious."

The palace guard sighed, but Lu Zhaozhao heard the hidden meaning in his words and naturally sighed with him: "Your Excellency is so powerful that he will not let the human race get away with it. However, I am afraid that this paperwork matter cannot be delayed..."

"You are right. So, I discussed with the Demon King to send a capable person to the human race as well. But it is difficult to decide on this person. Not only can he not have ulterior motives, but he must also have outstanding abilities and not be easily detected." The palace guard looked at Lu Zhaozhao, and a smirk appeared on his face like a falcon catching its prey. He looked extremely creepy and said, "The Demon King recommended you to me. You are a Nüba and have never appeared in public before. Even this time, you wore a veil most of the time. Moreover, your disguise skills are so perfect that even I didn't recognize you. There is only one thing that needs to be explored clearly about such a capable person. That is..." He paused.

"Loyalty." Lu Zhaozhao continued, "So, ever since you took me away from the northern frontier, everything I've encountered along the way has been a test from you?"

"That's right. Leaving the northern line proves that you haven't surrendered to the Eight Clans, and everything that happened tonight proves that you are not a spy for the human race."

"So that's how it is." Lu Zhaozhao sighed.

The palace guard didn't dwell on her thoughts and directly gave the order: "Today, I order you to go to the human race. You have three tasks. First, learn the human race's documents. Second, investigate the human race's strengths and weaknesses. Third, and most importantly, you must secretly search for the whereabouts of the Demon Lord!"

Lu Zhaozhao frowned: "Master Demon has disappeared and there is no news. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."

The palace guard's gaze suddenly became sharp, and his voice was stern: "Lord Demon King has found some clues. Lord Demon Lord's disappearance may be related to the human race Qing Huizong."

Emperor Huizong of the Qing Dynasty? Hearing this name, Lu Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Emperor Huizong of the Qing Dynasty? What is this?"

"You will understand later. Remember your mission and bury it deep in your heart even if it means death." The palace guard said coldly.
