Qingzhou, Demon Suppression Division.
Two carriages stopped at the side door.
"Miss, why don't you send the young master home?" Li Xiaoer jumped down and asked worriedly.
"They are just external injuries. Send them to Lord Bai. He has good medical skills and will not leave scars."
Li Mujin knew his younger brother's character. He hated being mentioned as a rich young man by others and attributed all his current achievements to the support of the Li family... Although this was indeed the case, without the secret care of his parents, he would have died countless times just because of his greedy and reckless character.
The more people talked about it behind his back, the more he wanted to prove himself.
The more impulsive he became, the more messes the Li family had to clean up for him.
For example, in this case of the river monster, when several captains were already missing, they received the blood-stained badge. It was clear that they were short of manpower, and they were unwilling to ask other generals for help. They just rushed forward with gritted teeth, hoping to pick up something that was missing.
If it weren't for the variable Shen Yi, the entire group would have almost been killed in Shuiyun Township.
Now he only suffered some minor injuries, he should be thankful for that.
"You deserve to lie down for a month and reflect on yourself."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoer explained helplessly: "The young master was much calmer, but first, Lord Fang Heng, who he had always been at odds with, was chosen by the general as his disciple... and then he was provoked in Baiyun County... That's why he became anxious."
As he spoke, he glanced at the figure in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
It must be said that the other party was able to provoke the young master, probably not because of his good luck in getting to know Lord Lin. Just based on his strength, in time, he would become a strong man who was not inferior to Fang Heng.
Both of them were born in poverty. Fang Heng was favored by the general and fought alone to the death with a Jade Liquid Realm late stage monster, and successfully became a three-marked captain.
In comparison, Shen Yi was slightly worse, as the river monster he killed was in a state of exhaustion, but don't forget that the opponent's realm was far lower than Fang Heng's.
This battle record is even more horrifying than Lord Fang's.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoer shook his head and looked at Li Xinhan, who was wrapped like a dumpling, with some sympathy. He went inside to call for help to carry the two injured people into the Demon Suppression Division.
"Please, Lord Shen, it's time to receive your reward."
Li Mujin took a half step sideways and stretched out his hand to gesture teasingly.
Under her guidance.
Shen Yi soon arrived at the gate of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
The captains who were originally in a hurry, when they noticed the strong evil spirit aura on the young man, they all slowed down their pace involuntarily and cast emotional glances at him.
The second-class lieutenant who happened to come out also stepped aside to make way, and congratulated him with a cupped hand: "Congratulations, brother, on your victory."
Being watched by so many people at once.
Shen Yi felt a little uncomfortable, nodded and replied: "Thank you."
Then he followed Li Mujin into the yamen.
What catches your eye is a large, smooth and shiny counter, behind which sit a man and a woman.
The same black shirt, the difference lies in the shoulders.
Unlike the ferocious golden wolf in the outer camp, the two men had a golden eagle with scorching eyes embroidered on their clothes.
The ferocious wolf travels thousands of miles, and the golden eagle spies in all directions.
It was similar to what Liu Xiujie had introduced. Although the two captains of the inner camp had polite fake smiles on their faces, they exuded a noble aura that was different from the outsiders, and it was obvious that they were of higher birth.
Li Mujin pushed the document issued by the Shuiyun Township government office over to him and said, "All the officers who went to watch the sacrifice have died. The Jade Liquid Realm demons who participated have all been killed."
Hearing this, the girl from the inner camp did not show any sadness on her face. Instead, her smile became more genuine. She obviously recognized the Li siblings. She did not mention the number of people who died, but said with emotion: "Xinhan is going to be promoted to a lieutenant general. From now on, I have to call him Sir when I see him."
Several captains from the outer camp nearby glanced at her coldly, but did not dare to say anything more. They turned around and left the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Li Mujin had a calm expression, and had no intention of greeting her. He said calmly, "Then you have to wait a few more months. Please take a closer look at the document." Hearing this, the other man reached out and opened the document, with a little more doubt in his eyes: "The first merit, Shen Yi?"
Although I am not familiar with this name, it is extremely rare for a leader's achievements to rank behind those of his subordinates. It cannot be said that this is completely unheard of, but it is still extremely rare.
Especially when Li Xinhan was only one first merit away from promotion.
It becomes even more incomprehensible.
He then looked down, his pupils narrowed slightly: "Did you kill the river god of Shuiyun Township?"
The man looked up in surprise and finally set his gaze on the taciturn young man behind Li Mujin.
After a moment, he sneered and said, "Brother, your ability to conceal your breath is really good, and you are also a master that the old man of the Li family invited from somewhere. According to the rules, you should be promoted to a higher level. As for the reward, do you want martial arts or treasure pills?"
Finally, I talked about what I was interested in.
Shen Yi stepped forward, his goal clear: "Wind, Thunder, and Melting Sun Treasure Book."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two people behind the counter suddenly fell silent, looked at each other, and there was an inexplicable sense of awe on their faces.
This martial arts requires internal strength, so it is really the initial stage?
Originally thought he was here to take charge of Li Xinhan's business, but turned out to be here to reap the credit.
What kind of identity is this...
They quickly calmed down and went inside. After about an incense stick of time, they took out a brand new black shirt, a martial arts manual, and a bottle of precious pills.
"Just put the old clothes aside after you change them. We'll send someone to get them. This is a copy that someone else has written in advance, so you don't have to worry about it. As for the pills, according to the rules, newcomers to the Town Demon Division are required to take a ten-year medicinal bath. You probably won't be able to use them, so just trade them for Qi Gathering Pills."
The woman put the things on the table with a smile.
The man took out another medicine bottle from his sleeve and said, "Those are from the imperial court. This is a small gift to show my appreciation."
Li Mujin turned sideways and looked away.
Shen Yi put away his things, leaving behind only the extra bottle of pills, and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
Although he didn't want to have anything to do with it, he didn't deliberately act aloof and disdainful.
He turned and left the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Li Mujin followed him out and asked with a smile, "Are you so averse to having anything to do with the Qingzhou disciples?"
Shen Yi stopped walking, turned back and said slowly: "Your relationship is useful, but I'm afraid if I use it too much, I will have to change my surname."
Just like just now, the ten-year medicinal bath was discounted into a Qi Gathering Pill.
According to the rules, this kind of thing does exist, but if others don't mention it, then it doesn't exist.
Someone else will pick up the clothes, and someone will copy the martial arts in advance...
It seems that as long as there is a little background, these trivial matters will be handled neatly and quietly by the invisible hand.
No one doesn't like to relax, but everything has a price.
"Why do you have to be so clear about it?" Li Mujin stretched his body and blinked: "According to what Li Xinhan said, he wants you to be a sacrifice and marry his sister. Maybe we can become a family in the future."
Shen Yi looked at her twinkling eyes, pondered for a moment, and spoke with a little more seriousness: "It's better to distinguish them clearly."
"Tsk, that's boring."
Li Mujin walked ahead with his hands behind his back: "I'll take you to see where to stay. But they will probably have to stay in the clinic, so you'll have to live on your own for a while."
The moment she turned around, her tone was the same as usual, she still had that joking look on her face, but her eyes were slightly narrowed.
