In such a world, those who live far away from towns try to avoid attracting too much attention.
Only the chariot of the Demon Suppression Division had the confidence to pull its empty carriages on the road.
As time passed, many traveling merchants followed in groups, and would actively ask their guards to ride horses to catch up and deliver dry food and meat.
"This reputation is much better than that of us servants."
Chen Ji was holding a pile of food, excitement showing on his slightly childish face.
The sleepless running continued for nearly two days.
The carriage slowly stopped under the towering city wall. Above the arched city gate, the word "Qingzhou" was written in iron and silver, showing its majestic atmosphere.
Li Xinhan threw the badge to the city guard, then dismounted and walked forward holding the reins.
Seeing this, Lao Liu suppressed a laugh and said, "I've learned my lesson from the last few lashes."
Seeing the two people's confusion, he explained: "According to the rules of the Demon Suppression Division, anyone who rides a horse in the city without any urgent matter will be whipped three times and fined two months' salary."
It was already dusk. In Baiyun County, there would be only a few people left on the streets.
However, the blue brick paved road in front of them, which was wide enough to accommodate eight carriages running side by side, was crowded with people and noisy.
Shen Yi got off the carriage, feeling as if he was dreaming of his past life.
Except that there are not so many tall buildings, it is even more prosperous.
Everyone followed Li Xinhan slowly.
Until it stopped at a rather strange place in the city.
The two-meter-high wide wall stretches endlessly to the end of the sight, as if a small city has been enclosed within this city.
"The governor personally approved 2,800 acres of land to be used as the Demon Suppression Office."
"You guys come with me."
The beggar took away his family and six new people.
Li Xinhan entered through a side door.
"There are a lot of rules inside, but they have nothing to do with us in the outer camp. You just need to remember where to eat, where to sleep, and where to collect your salary."
While Old Liu was leading Shen Yi, he introduced the various facilities inside.
First, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register.
Li Xinhan came out personally, and after a moment he brought out a set of clothes and a medicine bottle, with an ink-black waist badge on top.
He handed the item to Shen Yi and said, "I see that the sword on your waist is extraordinary, so I didn't take it. If you need anything else, you can come here and ask. If you don't understand something, just go to Xiu Jie directly."
Liu Xiujie smacked his lips: "Where does he live?"
Li Xinhan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Do as Lord Lin wishes."
Hearing this, Liu Xiujie's expression changed slightly: "Why bother causing trouble for others."
Shen Yi looked at the two of them in silence, not quite understanding what they were saying.
Then Liu Xiujie sighed and took him deeper into the cave.
"According to common practice, the captains of the outer camps all live in the west courtyard..."
About an incense stick of time later, Liu Xiujie stopped in front of a quiet courtyard and said with a wry smile: "Be careful."
"What is this place?"
Shen Yi frowned and looked over.
"The courtyard where the general usually lives, and there are his five apprentices, two of whom are demon-suppressing generals, a lieutenant general, a demon catcher, and another who has just been in the class for five months... He is also a three-marked lieutenant."
"Hiss, you may not be very familiar with the Demon Suppression Division. Guess why there are no guards here?"
Liu Xiujie took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and said again: "In other words, except for the general, the other rooms belong to two people in the Condensation Pill Realm, two people in the Perfect Jade Liquid Realm, and one person in the Middle Jade Liquid Realm."
"And you, with nothing to rely on except a letter, have to move in now."
"I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind."
Liu Xiujie frowned, not quite understanding what Lord Lin was thinking.
Compared to the other party, he understood the thoughts of other ordinary captains better.
"Forget it, follow me." Liu Xiujie lowered his head and rushed in, as if this was some dangerous place.
After hearing what the other party said, combined with the rumors that Zhang the Butcher had once mentioned.
Shen Yi's original guess about Lin Baiwei's identity was now completely confirmed.
He just couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do.
When you step into the courtyard, you will see a locust tree and an ancient well.
A shirtless, muscular young man sat on a stone pier, his whole body looking like cast steel, with clear and distinct muscle lines.
He was carefully peeling the beans in his hand. Opposite him, a gray-haired old woman was pinching the seedlings with her fingertips.
It looks very quiet and peaceful.
"Liu Xiujie from the outer camp greets Lord Fang."
Old Liu forced a smile and pulled Shen Yi over: "Master Fang, this is..."
"I know. I received a letter from my senior sister."
Fang Heng continued to shell the beans without looking up. Instead, the old lady looked at Shen Yi curiously.
"That's good. That's good."
Liu Xiujie smiled along, not at all relaxed as he was when facing Li Xinhan, and winked at the person beside him: "You haven't met your Brother Fang Heng yet."
Hearing this, Fang Heng said calmly: "There's no need to call me Senior Brother, just call me by my name."
After hearing this, Liu Xiujie felt a little embarrassed, but he sighed in his heart.
As expected, a letter alone could not bring about such a great opportunity.
"You kid, can you please look at people when you speak?" The mother-in-law slapped the young man on the head.
Fang Heng seemed to be used to it. He raised his head and pointed to the smallest side courtyard: "Live there first. I will pay you back what Senior Sister owes you."
This time it was Liu Xiujie's turn to not understand.
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief silently. So that's how it is.
It is impossible to say that I had no expectations at all.
But if such a big pie fell out of nowhere, he would not dare to catch it.
Now that I finally understand the reason, I feel much more at ease.
Lin Baiwei had promised herself two Jade Liquid Realm martial arts books, one of which was the Four Harmonies True Energy. She thought that after the trouble was resolved, the other party might not remember the matter anymore, or just pick out a random martial art from the Demon Suppression Division to complete the transaction.
I didn't expect that the other party was actually so concerned about it.
Since the person in front of him is also a disciple of the general, and he is so serious, the martial arts passed down by him should not be weaker than the Four Harmonies Zhengang.
"Forehead."
Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do, Liu Xiujie simply bowed and took his leave, leaving Shen Yi with a sympathetic look.
Although he had reminded him before, he must have felt quite disappointed when Fang Heng rejected him so bluntly.
"…"
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at the other person, then turned and walked into the hut.
The brand new clothes were made of satin and felt very smooth. Even the belts of ordinary lieutenants were inlaid with precious jades. It was no wonder that Zhang the Butcher was jealous of the luxury of the Demon Suppression Division.
He tried it on briefly and found it fit him well.
Unfortunately, there is no mirror.
After straightening his sleeves, Shen Yi reached out and picked up the small medicine bottle.
Liu Xiujie didn't explain clearly when he left.
Is this the so-called precious medicine?
Hanging the badge on his body, Shen Yi picked up the black knife and prepared to go out.
But I heard the mother-in-law's voice coming from outside: "Young man, come out and eat."
