Zhou Tian, the flag officer of the Monster-seeking Guard, is a burly man with dark skin, thin cheeks, and resolute eyes. Although there is no mana fluctuation in his body, his martial arts cultivation is profound.
He at least had innate cultivation, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura.
Mo Chengjun looked at him for a moment, then opened the document and asked his question while checking the records.
How did they discover the mandrill?
How to determine the location of the mandrill?
How is this mandrill's cultivation?
How many people died during the siege by the Demon Slayer Division?
After the failure, how many days did it take to report to the Galaxy Sword Sect?
What reward is given?
When did Balinger come?
What is the specific situation?
Afterwards, how many people died in the three villages?
How many people were rescued?
Which village is it arranged to be in now?
Mo Chengjun knows the details best in order to tell the truth, and during the questioning, he could also see that Zhou Tian was not a talkative person this time and did not talk much. When Mo Chengjun asked, he would just answer, never more. Word.
Until the end, Mo Chengjun tilted his head slightly and asked: "According to you, when my Bago comes to perform his mission, do you, the demon-hunting guards, have the responsibility to lead the way?"
Zhou Tian nodded: "Yes!"
Mo Chengjun said again: "Then why is my senior brother missing but you are still there?"
Zhou Tian was embarrassed: "Because, I didn't go."
"Um?"
"Well, Ba Xianchang disliked me for being too slow, so in the end he just flew away with his sword without taking me with him."
"Well, ahem, my senior brother can really do it. What about behind? My senior brothers and uncles didn't let you lead the way?"
"I brought them with me, but as you know, I just brought them to the village where the mandrill was originally ravaging.
Later, I don’t know. "
"That's it!"
After Mo Chengjun finished asking his questions, he thought for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "The matter has been cleared up, and it's time for me to leave. Fellow Daoist Qian, thank you very much this time!"
Qian Lili also stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Well, if necessary, I can ask Zhou Tian to accompany Brother Tao for another trip. It's not that far away."
Qian Lili was just saying it politely, but after he said it, Mo Chengjun thought for a moment and actually agreed: "That's fine, then I'll trouble Brother Zhou."
Zhou Tian looked at Qian Yili, paused for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Qian Lili said immediately: "Then we will set off again early tomorrow morning. Zhou Tian has just returned from slaying demons and is quite tired. Can we let him rest for a night?"
Mo Chengjun smiled: "Of course that's okay, then I'll be here early tomorrow morning?"
"well!"
The matter was settled, Mo Chengjun said goodbye and left. Qian Li led his men to the gate, and then the two parties separated completely.
Mo Chengjun mounted his four-eared donkey demon again and walked step by step towards the moonlit street.
He had to find an inn and rest for the night.
As for the money, he stood at the door and watched Mo Chengjun leave.
In a corner invisible to both parties, whether it was Mo Chengjun or Qian Yili, the smiles on their faces all faded.
In the dark night, it seemed very gloomy.
…
Although Yong'an City is also a county town, compared with Panlong City and Yunjian City, it can only be regarded as a small city.
It was just after dark, around eight or nine o'clock, but there weren't many lights on the streets anymore.
After turning a few corners and leaving the alley where the government office was located, the moonlight was obscured by the walls and became even darker.
Simply put, neither Mo Chengjun nor the four-eared donkey demon are ordinary people, and this darkness will not affect their vision.
The four-eared donkey demon's progress was not fast, but it was quite light. Amidst the crisp 'ta-da-da' sound of hooves, he said leisurely: "They lied!"
"What?"
"I said those humans were lying!"
Mo Chengjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be interested: "Then tell me, where did they lie?"
"In your previous conversation, the fat man said that they were going to kill a demon, and they killed a bull demon?"
Although Four Ears is not in the room, you can't think that his four ears are just decoration.
According to his own words, he can not only distinguish various sounds within a radius of several kilometers, but can also hear many areas that humans cannot touch.
For example, ultrasound and infrasound waves.
And although he was placed in the stable, the entire Demon Slayer Division was under his eyes and ears, and not even a single sound could escape.
This is also the reason why Mo Chengjun brought four ears out. They are not just for transportation.
Mo Chengjun narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean, they didn't kill the demon? So is the corpse of the bull demon I saw still fake?"
Si Er shook his head: "That's just for you to see. The smell of blood I smell is not very fresh. The bull demon has been dead for at least two days."
Mo Chengjun: "Is this the only thing?"
"Since you are killing demons, you must have murderous and evil aura!
The fat man and the people around him lacked the murderous aura that should have remained after the battle.
And, most importantly, I heard some people whispering? "
"who?"
Si Er: "The two demon-slaying guards carrying the bull demon thought their voices were very low, but I heard them clearly.
They were complaining, complaining about sleeping well at home, but they were pulled up to arrange this scene.
They dare not resist, but their resentment is not small. "
"That's it!"
In the dark night, under the moonlight, Mo Chengjun's brows first frowned, and then relaxed.
“Looking now, this matter is not simple.
Hahaha, is it really interesting? "
Mo Chengjun smiled, but there was no smile in his laughter.
…
At the same time, in the Yamen of the Demon Slayer Division.
In the original living room, everyone was dismissed, leaving only Qian Youyi and Zhou Tian.
However, at this time, Zhou Tian had already sat safely on the chair, while Qian Li kept pacing in the living room.
All the worry on his face turned into urgency, and he was still muttering as he kept walking: "I said you can't move, you can't move, and you won't listen. Is that okay now?
Wave after wave has come, and wave after wave has come. This is the third wave, and we are still being caught up. "
Zhou Tian frowned and said, "Why are you anxious? I will go tomorrow, not you. Just stay at home and wait for the news."
"Safe? How stable?"
Qian Li became anxious: "Didn't you listen to what that person said? This Baling'er has a wife, and she is a true successor of the Galaxy Sword Sect.
If this continues, it won't be these inner disciples who come. If a true successor comes, can you bear it, or can I?
If you provoke those inner sect elders again, you and I will die without knowing how to die? "
"Are you scared?"
"Nonsense, aren't you afraid? Those are sword cultivators. Do you really think they would care about my identity if they go crazy?"
Qian Lili's voice became dry: "Those group of murderers don't care about this. When you and I die, do you think the imperial court will fall out with the Galaxy Sword Sect because of this?"
And, most importantly, do you think we can withstand investigation?
Or do you think that the forces behind you can help you smooth all of this? "
After saying this, Zhou Tian's expression became serious.
He straightened his body slightly, squinted his eyes, and said: "What you said makes sense, but the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. Some things are not up to you and me!
In any case, let's get over this hurdle first. When this hurdle passes, I will find some people to help you and me arrange our escape.
Don't worry, by then, we will give you everything you want. "
Qian Lili's face finally looked happy, but after a moment he became depressed again: "I hope I can survive until that day, right?"
"Also, do it neatly tomorrow!"
"Haha, just an inner disciple."
…
The next day, early morning.
Mo Chengjun got up early in the morning, washed up and went to the street. After choosing a stall and having breakfast, he rode a donkey to the Yamen of the Demon Slayer Division.
At this time, Qian Lili and Zhou Tian were already waiting. After a few words of greeting, Zhou Tian took the horse and left with Mo Chengjun.
They walked south, passed through the south gate and left the city, and finally walked onto the official road.
This time, Mo Chengjun did not set up the cloud head, but just let the four-eared donkey demon run at full speed on the ground, while Zhou Tian also started running wildly on his horse.
Although Si Er's legs are short, he is a big demon after all. He has no shortage of physical strength and speed. The movement of his four short legs brought out afterimages, which made Zhou Tian's horse run out of breath.
They first walked along the official road, and when they branched off somewhere, they entered the trail directly.
Gradually we went further and further, the surrounding area became more and more desolate, and the road became more and more difficult to navigate.
When they arrived here, their speed inevitably slowed down. After they each took a few sips of water from a water bag, they started chatting.
To be precise, it was Zhou Tian, who was not good at speaking, who spoke first: "Climb the hill and you will reach the place where the ruins of the ruined village are.
That's where the mandrill was last seen.
Last time, I brought several immortals from your sect there. "
Mo Chengjun smiled slightly, turned his head, looked at Zhou Tian, and asked: "So, where is the killing plot you arranged?"
Zhou Tian stiffened, then relaxed, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "You, what do you mean?"
Mo Chengjun stroked the thick mane on his back and said to himself: "Actually, you have many flaws.
Although they are all very small, if you don't pay attention, you can get away with it, but if you think about it carefully, there are actually problems everywhere. "
"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
"Qian Lili explained to me when we met that the demon-slaying guards in Yong'an City were fighting among themselves, so Chief Sun didn't want to see me, but I could tell that Chief Sun was actually very scared.
Who is he afraid of?
Since it can't be me, only money is beneficial.
If possible, he definitely doesn't want to disturb that Qian Baihu, so he is afraid!
When you come back, Qian Yi's explanation may seem reasonable, but in fact it is completely cover-up. "
Mo Chengjun explained quietly: "This is one of them, and it is also the beginning of my doubts.
But since I have doubts, I just need to observe carefully and you will find loopholes everywhere.
For example, Qian Lili was very interested in Baling'er's background.
Especially when I mentioned that there was an inner elder behind me, the expression on his face was extremely unnatural.
Also, when he talked about you, he didn't look at you like he was looking at his subordinates, but rather inquiringly.
Let me ask, who would ask their subordinates for their opinions? "
"Is that all?"
Calmly, Zhou Tian's horse had already drawn closer to Mo Chengjun. It seemed that he no longer denied it as he spoke.
Mo Chengjun didn't care: "Of course, and most importantly, my mount told me yesterday that you didn't go to kill the demon.
The bull demon has been dead for two days, and there is no murderous aura or smell of blood on you.
Then I'm very surprised, why did you lie to me?
Is it a guilty conscience?
But what are you guilty of? "
Speaking of this, Mo Chengjun looked at Zhou Tian with interest and asked, "So, can you tell me something?"
