Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Niu Yuanping quietly weaved a net, and all that was left was to wait.
Yet the next four days were eerily peaceful.
Nothing unusual happened, everyone was doing what they were supposed to do as usual.
Until the night of the fifth day.
Niu Yuanping, who was paying attention to the movements of the old locust tree, finally noticed that the tree was beginning to move!
This old locust tree is extremely good at hiding its aura and knows how to change places.
After meeting Zhu Yushun, it seemed to fall into silence, just like an ordinary tree, no different.
However, tonight, it took advantage of the night to get close to civilian residences!
Although he didn't know what Laohuaishu was going to do, Niu Yuanping immediately realized that something was unusual.
"It's about to get started!"
However, when Niu Yuanping wanted to see what he was going to do next.
However, this old locust tree fell silent again near the outskirts of the civilian city.
Then Niu Yuanping observed it all night, but found that this guy didn't make any movement.
Until the next morning.
I wanted to observe more.
But Li Chunting, Hong Bingzhong, Zhang Bucheng, Qi Lucui and Yan Molun suddenly gathered in the conference hall.
And several second-level demon slayers including Niu Yuanping, Sun Lan, Hu Dafeng, Kan Xingming, and Du Songsheng were also summoned!
At this time, except for Zhu Yushun, all the demon-slayers in Su City were gathered together.
At this time, Niu Yuanping, who was hiding among the people, became curious.
"What on earth are they going to do?..."
While thinking this, he observed silently.
Not long after, Hong Bingzhong began to speak.
"We received a notice that not all the monkey spirits and demons in Tongyi Town were killed some time ago. It seems that one escaped! Zhu Yushun has been secretly investigating during this time."
After he finished speaking, many second-level demon-slayers had a look of confusion on their faces.
No wonder.
In fact, it was something that needed to be kept secret. Except for a few specific people who knew about it, everyone else was kept in the dark.
Now it's a complete showdown.
Take the initiative to fully disclose to the public the story of the evil spirits escaping from Tongyi Town.
Niu Yuanping among the crowd looked calm and watched Hong Bingzhong continue to speak.
"Today, Zhu Yushun sent a message, saying that in the city next door, Zhu Yushun's hometown, Maple City, there was a murder by a monkey spirit! So we kindly ask us to go to Maple City together to help arrest him!"
After hearing this, Niu Yuanping finally understood.
It turns out that we are leaving Sioux City together...
With so much effort and mobilization, there must be some big move!
So he continued to listen carefully to Hong Bingzhong's arrangements.
"But if we all go together, what if Su Cheng has any tasks to do?"
This is Li Chunting talking.
Hearing this, Hong Bingzhong nodded, "That's right..."
If everyone leaves, there really will be no one to do some of the miscellaneous things in Su City.
So we can’t all leave, we have to leave a few people behind to take care of some daily things.
So Hong Bingzhong told several second-level demon-slayers, "You guys should stay in Su Town to guard it!"
Then, he looked at Niu Yuanping, Sun Lan, and Du Songsheng and said, "Among the few people, you three have made the fastest progress and have the strongest fighting power! So this time our third-level demon-slayers are not here, it's up to you three Let’s take the lead!…Everything must be discussed with each other!”
Sun Lan and Du Songsheng heard this and nodded in agreement.
Niu Yuanping's eyes flickered, thoughtfully.
Now that all the third-level demon slayers have left Su City, they can only select a few capable second-level demon slayers to step in first to properly handle some matters that need to be dealt with and deal with some emergencies.
This is actually an opportunity to practice their ability to cope with emergencies.
Being able to be named as the leader is enough to show that this group of third-level demon-slayers are quite optimistic about Du Songsheng, Sun Lan, and Niu Yuanping.
However, Niu Yuanping has already felt that things are not as simple as they seem!
Others don’t know, but he does know it very clearly!
Zhu Yushun has been in Su City for so long and has never left. How can he go to Maple City next door to track down the evil spirits?
This is another lie!
"You have to be careful!..."
Niu Yuanping thought silently.
…
at this time.
Now that the arrangements have been made, several third-level demon-slayers started to set off immediately.
They got on the flying horse and flew away from the guarding mansion.
Even the mounts were used. It seemed that the journey to Maple City was very long.
In the courtyard, after watching all the third-level demon-slayers flying away, Du Songsheng withdrew his gaze.
He said to Niu Yuanping, Sun Lan, Hu Dafeng and Kan Xingming, "Since you have entrusted us with your heavy responsibility for the time being, we must treat it well! If anything happens, everyone must discuss it together and don't have any second thoughts!"
Juniper is right.
Today is a troubled time. If a few people can work together and handle things in a thoughtful manner, they can indeed ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Unexpectedly, Sun Lan stretched out after hearing this.
"I think we should go and have a rest first! Even if something happens, we should wait for the adults to come back before talking about it, so as not to handle it badly and cause problems!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Du Songsheng frowned, but even Niu Yuanping was unhappy.
What happened today is inherently weird. If a few people don't unite, they will be like a piece of loose sand, and it will be extremely easy for evil spirits to take advantage of them!
This is the last time for internal strife.
"Master Hong and the others just told us to discuss things with each other and deal with them. How can we deliberately shirk it?"
"Yes! If something important is delayed because of shirk, that would be bad!"
If it were normal times, it wouldn't matter if there were any disagreements or conflicts between each other.
There can be no mistakes today!
Niu Yuanping has already felt that something unusual is about to happen!
So I want to try my best to stop Sun Lan from causing trouble.
"The three of us must unite as one and not cause trouble!"
At this time, seeing the two of them talking to each other, it seemed that they had a good relationship and were wearing the same pants.
Sun Lan suddenly became a little impatient.
"Okay! Okay! When something comes up, we can discuss it together, okay?... But there should be nothing wrong now, right?!... I'm going to take a rest first!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the yard.
Unexpectedly, this has just begun, and someone is deliberately causing trouble!
Niu Yuanping was very upset.
"What happened to this guy today?..."
The more chaos there is, the more chaos there will be!
"It's really irritating!... We've obviously already discussed it before, everything goes according to plan, and we cooperate well!..."
Now, suddenly there is an awkward situation...
I had no choice but to ignore Sun Lan for now.
Several of them gathered together to discuss patrol matters.
After a brief negotiation.
It was decided that Du Songsheng would take Hu Dafeng on patrol first, while Niu Yuanping and Kan Xingming would sit in the guard's mansion. At night, Sun Lan and Kan Xingming would go on patrol.
For the time being, just take turns doing things like this to ensure safety and stability.
After setting the task, Du Songsheng took Hu Dafeng and left the guarding mansion.
Niu Yuanping and Kan Xingming were doing daily tasks in the guarding mansion.
The whole morning passed.
Nothing else seemed to happen.
But.
The peaceful scene did not last long.
In the afternoon, someone from the Yamen suddenly came to report that a strange incident had occurred!
In a house in Yanling Town, the sound of a baby crying appeared in the belly of a sheep.
Everyone was frightened and did not dare to get close. They suspected that the sheep had turned into a monster and eaten the children.
So I came to report the demon slayer, hoping to deal with it as soon as possible.
This is an emergency!
what to do?
Du Songsheng and Hu Dafeng went on patrol and have not returned yet.
So Niu Yuanping asked Kan Xingming to find Sun Lan and discuss what to do.
"Which one of us should go to Yanling Town?"
Sun Lan found him quickly, but he kept yawning.
I don’t know where I went to sleep before...
"I don't seem to have had a good rest... I'm a little tired... How about you two go! I'll be responsible for looking after the house."
Niu Yuanping felt helpless when he saw this.
But it’s hard to say anything.
Others have already said that they are not feeling well, can they still force him to do things? …
After thinking about it carefully, there is nothing else to do now.
You might as well go for a walk. Anyway, if the sky falls, tall people will be able to hold it up!
never mind.
Just think about it, Niu Yuanping said.
"Okay, I'll go with Kan Xingming, you take good care of the house!"
So, he and Kan Xingming immediately took the map, prepared the cow's tears, and set off in the direction of Yanling Town.
