The beggar uttered this name lightly.
Chen Ji and others have not reacted yet.
Butcher Zhang was awakened from his surprise and twisted his big belly hard.
Hiss! It's not an auditory hallucination!
But why? !
Butcher Zhang is not the kind of person who is jealous of his friend, he just simply can't figure it out.
Although he is not very interested in court affairs.
However, the general of Qingzhou is of the same generation as the leaders of all the major sects. Moreover, the Demon Suppression Division has a status that is above the world of martial arts. Therefore, he can have the final say in Qingzhou.
It can be said that to ordinary people who practice martial arts, the other party is more like a rumor story that a storyteller tells by clapping a wooden stick to relieve boredom after dinner.
How come it suddenly became related to the people around me?
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Old Liu frowned and glared at the beggar.
He starts spreading rumors about things that are not even a clue of the truth. He has been begging for so long that he has become so talkative that he can no longer control his mouth.
He shook his head, looked at Shen Yi again, and said with a wry smile: "In the message to the general, it was indeed mentioned, but the master is away all year round, and no one knows when he will come back. Even if he comes back... anyway, you'd better not have too high expectations."
Lao Liu is a down-to-earth person. He doesn't want the other party to get emotional because of the huge gap in understanding, thus wasting a talented young man.
He casually glanced to the side, and Zhang the Butcher understood what he meant. He scratched his head and walked into the hall, where he started chatting with Chen Ji and others.
"Lord Lin has been under a spell and has been escorted out of Baiyun County by someone to look for the general. He will not be returning to Qingzhou for the time being."
Old Liu lowered his voice and said, "After you join the Demon Suppression Division, you will all be brothers for life... These brothers are not afraid to take the blame for you, but they also don't want to see you rise to the top overnight, especially since you're new here. It's human nature, please understand."
Be brief and to the point.
It's more of a reminder than a knock.
Shen Yi pondered for a moment and then understood what the other party meant.
The "talent" that he deliberately showed in front of Lin Baiwei did indeed work.
But there is always a trade-off in everything.
Even though the group of people in front of me are smiling, actually... they are probably not as happy as they look.
They are all people who exchange their lives for achievements.
If you really act like you are trying to climb up the ladder, it doesn't matter if you have a strong background, but if your background is not that strong, you will be asking for trouble.
"According to Li Xinhan's request, I will send you back first. Everything should be handled as usual. Don't let any rumors leak out. We will make arrangements after the two adults return."
After Lao Liu finished speaking, he kept silent.
Tou'er Li does have a bad temper, but he is not a bad person. If Shen Yi has his own plans, or feels that he and others are suppressing him, then that's all I have to say, just let him be.
"I have no objection."
Shen Yi shook his head.
He joined the Demon Suppression Division, firstly to have a backer when killing demons, and secondly for martial arts and precious medicines.
The former can allow him to have more information channels when facing monsters, instead of being completely in the dark about the outside world except within the county as it is now.
There is enough lifespan for the demons to support it.
With the help of martial arts and precious medicines, the improvement is much faster than fighting alone.
Compared to these benefits, Shen Yi doesn't value things that have only empty reputation but can only cause trouble temporarily.
Just as the other party said, if there are really benefits, we have to wait for the person to come back to get them.
Old Liu quietly observed the changes in his expression.
Seeing Shen Yi's clear eyes and the fact that he said he had no opinion, his expression showed that he really didn't care.
This reaction surprised him secretly.
Everyone knows that a pie in the sky is not enough to satisfy hunger, but when such a great opportunity falls upon you, even if it is 99% fake, how many people can completely ignore it? Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the other party has already eaten the pie in his mouth.
"Fuck, you were not really captured by Lord Lin!"
Thinking of the loose clothes Lin Baiwei was wearing yesterday, Lao Liu gritted his teeth, and his determination suddenly wavered.
The people behind him quickly kicked him to the ground: "You don't want your fucking head anymore!"
If you dare to spread rumors about a monster catcher, and if those ascetics who hang out in the monster cave every day hear it, they will skin this kid alive.
"We are here on a mission. We just came to Baiyun County temporarily. We are in a hurry. You should go home and pack up. You can go with us."
The beggar pressed Lao Liu's face to the ground and smiled helplessly at Shen Yi.
…
Outside the yamen.
Several of the young and strong men who were chosen clenched their fists excitedly.
In a time of chaos and chaos among demons, having some martial arts skills is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve your status.
Even though they are just ordinary servants and soldiers today, if they can pass the trial training of the Demon Suppression Division, the county magistrate will have to receive them politely when they return to Baiyun County.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the young man in front of them.
No one is blind or deaf. Although we couldn't hear clearly what those captains said to each other, we could tell just by looking at their attitude.
Captain Shen definitely did not go for the trial like himself and others.
It's a pity that we don't have much friendship on a daily basis, so it would be a bit awkward to try to build a relationship now... At least we have the identity of being from the same hometown, so I will have some more face when I enter the Demon Suppression Bureau.
"Boss Shen, I have to go home to accompany my mother and comfort my wife."
On the contrary, the two people who were closer to Shen Yi didn't have so many thoughts. Niu Da was in a hurry to go home, so he scratched his crotch and wanted to run away after saying that.
Chen Ji had long felt that Shen Yi was no ordinary man, and even thought that even if that general really accepted him as his disciple, there would be nothing strange about it.
Whether it's a trial or going straight in to work, it's just a matter of time.
"Lord Shen..." He bowed.
"That's enough." Shen Yi sorted out his thoughts and waved his hand.
I can finally take off this uniform and put an end to all the bad things my previous life did.
Since you are not working in the government, there is no need to call you "sir".
I just felt something when I looked at Niu Da's back.
Leaving one's hometown is a sad thing.
Shen Yi tried very hard to squeeze out some sadness, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had no relatives to say goodbye to, no home to remember, and the side house he lived in belonged to the government office.
There are only two friends I can talk to, one is traveling with me, and the other...
Shen Yi looked back at Zhang the Butcher, only to see him following behind with a grin. He remembered what he had said before about going back to Qingzhou to see his old lover.
Well, the other one is most likely from the same industry.
I can't go to say goodbye to Qinglin's mother.
"Let's go to a restaurant." Shen Yi shook the banknotes in his hand.
"Let's go together. We have been talking too much these days. Let's find three people who can play the flute and sing." Butcher Zhang patted his belly hard.
"…"
No one would go to a restaurant with banknotes.
Chen Ji took out the silver ingot from his waist and sighed: "Two will do. I don't need them."
"It's okay, I'll use two." Butcher Zhang patted his shoulder generously.
