At the majestic city gate, two rows of soldiers stood upright with spears in hand.
Looking from afar, on the flat and wide official road outside the city gate, hundreds of riders in black shirts were riding horses, like a thick black cloud, and the sound of their hooves was like thunder.
Although the people of Qingzhou City had seen a lot, they had rarely witnessed such a big move by the Demon Suppression Division.
"So many?" They stared with wide eyes and crowded on the long street.
"Tsk, this is just the beginning, the real large force is still behind to escort." Some children from ordinary small families stood with their arms folded, mocking everyone for their lack of knowledge. Compared with those first-rate forces, they were neither high nor low, and would most likely join the Demon Suppression Division in the future. There was no such thing as the Qingfeng Mountain extermination, and they could not empathize with them.
To them, no matter whether it is the first-rate forces or the Demon Suppression Bureau, they are equally out of reach.
The Li siblings stood in the crowd, both looking unhappy.
Li Xinhan never thought that his elder sister would send Shen Yi to Qingfeng Mountain just a few days after he was injured. Even the generals could not escape from such a place unscathed, let alone Shen Yi.
He knew that the other party had once killed a river monster in the late Jade Liquid Realm. Even though the river monster was in a very bad condition at that time, it was not something he could kill, which made him admire him.
But he also heard that the reward Shen Yi took away after returning was the Wind, Thunder and Melting Sun Manual... If it was really a battle to exterminate the Qingfeng Mountain, even if an beginner had a few killer moves, the chance of surviving would be far less than that of someone at a higher level.
In such a meat-mincing battlefield, rather than having sharp weapons, one needs to have thick skin, fast running speed, a long breath and strong foundation.
"…"
Li Mujin did not explain what happened that night, she just stared silently outside the city gate.
The hands hidden under the wide sleeves are slightly clenched.
The first ones to come back would definitely be the captains and generals who were temporarily transferred away, after all, they don't have to be responsible for the follow-up matters.
If Shen Yi is still alive, he is most likely among them.
Even Li Mujin didn't know what he was looking at.
A seriously injured Shen Yi?
Want to prove that the other party's choice was too stupid? Pushing the document back was too reckless?
She bit her lip slightly, thinking it would be better to come back safe and sound.
How can a momentary rage compare to the other party's life-saving grace?
But the probability is too small.
Even the Qingfeng Sect is gone. One can fully imagine how tragic the situation is over there. A second-level captain who was forcibly transferred will most likely be replaced to reduce the strength of the sect's disciples.
"Whoa!"
As everyone pulled the reins, hundreds of demon horses stopped at the same time.
The endless stream of figures in black robes dismounted from their horses.
According to the rules set by the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division himself, unless there is an emergency, all captains and lieutenants are not allowed to ride horses in Qingzhou City.
Violators will be fined and whipped.
The common people once again crowded towards the city gate, and even the disciples of the noble families could not help but get excited: "Can we see General Chen?"
"There! General Chen Qiankun!"
Someone shouted loudly and pointed his finger outside. As he shouted, countless eyes gathered towards the finger like a surging wave.
As hundreds of men in black shirts dismounted from their horses, a figure suddenly appeared among them.
I saw a group of golden eagle captains slowly walking into the city with cold eyes, quickly clearing a path.
Several generals wearing cloaks surrounded a magical horse.
On the back of the tall and strong demon horse, a handsome young man stretched out his hand to grasp the reins. He was dressed in a black shirt, his body was thin but straight, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind.
He has a fair face, a pair of clear eyes that never look away, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and an ink knife at his waist, which makes him look a little solemn and murderous.
With the sound of horse hooves, even without the Golden Eagle Captain's guard, the onlookers couldn't help but step back a few steps.
"Fuck you, General Chen is not that handsome...young."
The young men were a little disappointed and pushed back the man who had just appeared and shouted, but the girls were still staring at that face. Even if it was not General Chen, it seemed that there was no problem.
The captain cleared the way for him, and the lieutenant protected him and held his horse. With such treatment, how low could his status be?
In the crowd, the Li siblings suddenly began to breathe rapidly.
Li Xinhan looked blankly at the two cloud patterns on the man's cuffs, then looked at the familiar face, slapped his face twice, looked at his sister, and said in surprise: "Did I recognize the wrong person?"
He is more familiar with the general's rules than anyone else.
After all, he had just been whipped some time ago.
"Probably not."
Li Mujin suppressed the slight tremor in his voice, looked up at the tall horse passing by, and then gradually walked away. The other party didn't even cast a glance at him.
It was not as he had imagined. He showed a sarcastic smile, mocking the conceit on his face when he showed off the documents that day and thought he could control the other party.
Just like that...it passed by peacefully.
"…"
"I say, why do you have such a cold face?"
Hong Lei followed the demon horse and whispered in confusion: "We are the Demon Suppression Department, not the tax collectors."
"I'm aloof."
Shen Yi had a blank expression on his face, staring at the empty space ahead, looking a little stiff.
He quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on the horse's mane.
Hong Lei noticed his little action and curled his lips. If he were riding on a horse, he would definitely wave his hands left and right continuously to attract cheers, so that it would not be a waste.
It was difficult to shake off the excited people.
Finally reaching the Demon Suppression Division, Shen Yi turned over and tried to get off the horse without hesitation.
As soon as he made a move, Hong Lei pressed his calf with his shoulder and gritted his teeth, "General Chen has ordered that if you dare to come down before reaching the government office, your legs will be broken."
"…"
…
At the same time.
The Demon-Suppressing Medical Clinic is located in a simple bamboo building.
Bai Ziming picked up a needle and stabbed it into Fang Heng's arm. Hearing the muffled groan from the other party's clenched teeth, he said calmly, "If you continue to mess around, I will show you the Dan-Condensing Needle Technique that Master got from the imperial court for me next time."
"It's been a few days, how long will it take?"
Fang Heng lay on the bed, feeling the numbness in his arms and feeling a little irritable.
"Interesting. I wasted so much of my salary on healing, and now I don't even want to call you brother."
Bai Ziming smiled gently, stretched out his hand and inserted more than ten needles.
Fang Heng's whole body suddenly jumped up like a carp, veins popped up on his forehead, and he almost bit his teeth to pieces. He begged for mercy, "Brother Bai... I'm really in a hurry... I have to go to Qingfeng Mountain..."
"If Master knew that he accepted a useless disciple like you, he would be so disappointed. He is a martial immortal, but he didn't even meet him. He was rejected twice in a row. As a disciple, you still have to stick to others' cold buttocks."
Bai Ziming shook his head and took back the silver needles one by one.
He stood up and patted his clothes: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Fang Heng looked up in confusion.
"Let's go and see how capable this captain is who is so ruthless."
Bai Ziming's eyes were calm as he put the flat needle box into his arms. "I took advantage of the fact that my senior brothers and sisters were not at home to beat you up like this. If Senior Sister Jiang knew about this, she would think that I, Bai, had given up martial arts and turned to medicine for the past few years and had forgotten how to fight."
Coming back? So soon?
Fang Heng stood up impatiently, moved his lips, and finally said dejectedly:
"Brother, I was the first to do it."
"How much did you lose?" Bai Ziming glanced over as if he had expected it.
"Eleven to one." Fang Heng lowered his hands, and in the other party's puzzled eyes, he sighed: "I used all my strength, and he slapped me to the ground."
"…"
Bai Ziming pretended to take out the needle box: "I almost forgot, doctors are kind-hearted and should not be competitive. This matter should be left to Senior Sister Jiang."
Fang Heng knew that the other party was making fun of him, and said helplessly: "If you fight him, of course Senior Brother Bai is better. After all, your methods are so insidious, and he has some body-tempering skills, but it is far from enough."
They are all masters who can kill him in one move. Shen Yi needs to get close to them. Senior Brother Bai has poisonous flying needles, all of which are extracted from the Jade Liquid Poison Monster. He even has a precious medicine given to him by his master for self-defense. Ordinary warriors will die if they touch them.
It is already difficult to guard against, and he likes to launch sneak attacks with a smile on his face.
We were still chatting one second, and the next second a needle flew towards us.
In comparison, Shen Yi looked more powerful and always took the initiative, but he was also more likely to suffer losses.
"I'll take it as a compliment."
Bai Ziming walked out of the bamboo building without any concern. He was really curious about the new captain.
The two walked quickly towards the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Soon after, he saw a swarm of officers and lieutenants rushing in, blocking the entrance to the yamen.
