Qingzhou Town Demon Court, Foreign Affairs Hall.
Grey tiles and white walls stand upright, the vermilion gate is wide open, figures come and go one after another, all with a look of haste on their faces.
Shen Yi silently observed her surroundings.
Although they all wore black satin robes with trailing sleeves, more than 60% of them did not have cloud patterns on their cuffs.
The average age is also around forty.
The aura on his body was indeed at the initial stage, but it seemed a bit elusive, and could only be said to have barely crossed that threshold.
Is this the group of Town Demon Captains who were said by Zhang Tushou to have "taken a medicinal bath"?
On the contrary, occasionally passing by a few cloud-patterned shirts, they are all younger, and their eyes are also more sharp.
"Internally, there are three thousand people, externally, more than eight thousand, a total of just over ten thousand brothers, who are responsible for the safety and danger of the twelve counties of Qingzhou and 342 county towns."
The beggar walked over, with some sighs in his words.
"Except for the 2,500 inner camp warriors needed to garrison Qingzhou, on average, every twenty people can occupy a county. So our manpower basically matches this number. When a deputy general goes out to handle affairs, he usually only brings around twenty or so squad leaders. Even if they encounter an irresistible crisis and all of them are killed, including the deputy general himself, the loss wont be too great."
After eavesdropping on several peoples conversations for a long time, I also learned the beggars name.
Shen Yi looked at Ma Taos usual expression and couldnt help but raise an eyebrow.
It seems like a total defeat, which is a very normal thing in their eyes.
Considering the situation, wanting to become a general, leading a team alone, at least a high-ranking expert in the Jade Liquid Realm. In Baiyun County, that would be an emperor who covers the sky with one hand. Is this still considered not a big loss?
"But dont worry, as long as youre not dead and theres no news of your disappearance, someone from home will come to avenge you within half a month."
Ma Tao opened his mouth and sighed, "The Demon-Suppressing General of Yushan County was ambushed and killed by the three major sects in the area. They thought they had done a perfect job, but the second son of the Commander-in-Chief led a thousand men to investigate and only took six days to behead 23,000 people. Its said that the heads are still piled up at the city gate."
Compared with the strong and fierce shock of the Town Demon Temple.
Shen Yi pursed her lips and gave herself a reminder in her heart.
I thought that with my current abilities, I would at least be able to protect myself, but this world is more chaotic than I imagined. Not only are the lives of ordinary people in danger, but even those with great reputations can die suddenly.
"Hey, whats your specialty?"
Li Muzhen walked out of the yamen, looking at several people outside: "Tracking down clues? Rushing to attack from a thousand miles away? ...... Ah, arent you quite skilled in close combat and capturing demons?"
She recalled Shen Yi letting Fang Heng eat a loss earlier, and her last sentence had some curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Ma Tao shrugged his shoulders and awkwardly clenched his fists.
If there are two people with similar martial arts skills in a group, and the other person happens to be much stronger, the remaining person will seem somewhat redundant.
Seeing Shen Yis puzzled expression, he sighed and quickly composed himself, explaining: "Make a record, in case Li Touer has an accident later and youre lucky enough to survive, itll be convenient for other generals to choose people. Dont mind the rest, just say what the highest realm of martial arts is."
"Is that so."
Shen Yi fell into deep thought, silently searching within herself, and soon a faint furrow appeared on her face.
The others looked at him with slight doubt.
Whats there to think about? What major and minor martial arts studies, which one starts with, which one masters, dont you know yourself?
A moment later, Shen Yi raised her head and said uncertainly: "Kill the demon?"
Eight Treasures of the Mysterious Body, Greedy Wolf Punishes Evil, Heavenly Executioner Blood Evil, Intercepting Pulse Captures Dragon...
Its hard to say which one is stronger, both seem quite useful.
Hearing his response, Liu Xiu Jie and Ma Tao were both stunned and stood rooted to the spot.
"Hmm."
Li Muzhen was stunned, then covered her lower abdomen and laughed so hard that she trembled like a flower branch. She turned around and went in: "Alright, write it down. He said hes good at killing demons."
After a while, Li Xinhansigned up and walked out slowly, giving Shen Yi a somewhat helpless glance.
As early as in Baiyun County, he knew that the other partys learning was too miscellaneous, but he didnt expect that there wasnt even a main study path. Shouldnt they invite someone from home to come and help them take a look at their roots and sort out their future direction?
"Little second, go arrange a horse carriage, Linjiang County, Shuiyun Township."
He gathered his thoughts, nodded in agreement, and the short man, who was as small as a child, bowed his head and left silently.
Li Xinhans led everyone out of the Town Demon Division.
Li Toudou was a bit nervous.
Liu Xiu-jie noticed the other persons unease and said in a low voice: "He has a low position, and all the good and bad tasks are taken away by other deputy generals. Rescuing Lord Lin is considered a meritorious deed, but before he returns, this matter cannot be made public."
"After calculating his merits, and dealing with another case related to the Jade Liquid Realm, Li Touer will be able to promote to a deputy general...its unknown whether there will be any gains this time."
When it comes to achievements, these two good brothers who have been working together for many years both lit up.
After all, they are from a famous family and joined the Demon-Suppressing Department, of course, it is to make a name for themselves.
Shen Yi only then noticed that the cloud patterns on their sleeves were all double, it seemed that Li Xinhans were indeed eager for achievements, and even the people under his hands had a taste of the soup.
"Dont envy, as long as you can participate in the Fivefold Jade Liquid Boundary Evil five times or get the first achievement once, you can also add one more, and when the time comes, granting you internal power will be a natural thing."
As they stepped out of the Zhenmo Temples gate and onto the main street, both of them skillfully wiped the smiles off their faces.
Wherever he went, people stopped and avoided him.
After several people walked away, they continued to busy themselves with their affairs.
They walked all the way to the foot of that majestic castle, where Li Xiaoer was already waiting with his demon horse.
"This is our scout, he can run with all his might and make a round trip between Baiyun County and Qingzhou City in just one day. If you have any letters to send at ordinary times, looking for him will be alright."
Liu Xiu Jie jumped onto the horse carriage and playfully teased a sentence.
Li Xiaoer glared at him for a moment, then nodded politely to Shen Yi and said briefly, "Can deliver, very soon."
As several people sat down, Li Muzhen pulled the reins and rode his horse to the front.
Shen Yi sat in the carriage, slightly enlightened.
Originally, there were sayings about who rode horses and who sat in carriages too.
Only those with the strongest boundaries can maintain long-term vigilance and respond in a timely manner when unexpected situations arise.
“……”
Li Xinhans leaned against the carriage, his hands clasped together, and his fingertips tapped rapidly on the back of his hand.
A look of deep concern.
"Its not that serious." Ma Tao waved his hand in front of the other person: "Although there are fewer people this time, isnt it just going to Shuiyun Township to find a few people?"
Liu Xiu-jie took the opportunity to tell Shen Yi about their mission: "A few captains went to Shuiyun Township for inspection, according to regulations, they should have sent a letter back home on the 15th day, but we havent received any news from them yet... Its not a big problem, Shuiyun Township has a river god, if something happens to the river god, those villagers would have rushed to Qingzhou long ago."
Li Xinhans remained silent for a long time, then pulled out a blood-stained waist card from his pocket: "This was sent by someone from the Linjiang County Government Office, and Wai Shi Tang just handed it over to me."
He then looked at Shen Yi: "Originally I said bring you out to get familiar with it first... You dont have experience fighting against real demons, be careful."
Upon hearing this, both Liu and Ma were left breathless: "......"
Shen Yi had beheaded the Dog Demon and the Ape Demon in Baiyun County, they all knew about it.
Dont say you have no experience.
Is that the Jade Liquid Boundary?
Ma Tiao suddenly remembered that he was just talking to the other person about dying and avenging, trying to liven up the atmosphere, but now looked at him with a hint of apology.
"Shoo! My crows mouth."
Shen Yi slightly turned his body, Li Xiaoer expressionlessly wiped the saliva stains on his face, and silently looked at Ma Tuo.
