"Cao An! Stand there! I found you."
It was this woman again. Cao An turned around and wanted to leave. There were no high-level puppets in his arms, only a few low-level puppets made from leftover materials, which seemed to be of little help.
'It's not been a lucky day recently. I was just brought to the altar, and now I've met this evil star again. '
The horses' hooves beat rapidly, and the eight cavalrymen surrounded Cao An in an instant. The donkey was also brave. Surrounded by this group of fierce sword guards, he was not surprised at all. He snorted and stuck out his upper lip in the air. Sniff a few times.
"Let's talk? I'm not here to catch you this time."
Cao An breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that there was no danger. No wonder his intuition didn't warn him and thought it was useless.
'But it doesn't seem to work very well now. You can't always rely on this in the future. Du Yunfei and his wife didn't warn them that time. It should be considered dangerous that time, right? '
"Police and citizens, well, cooperation between the government and the people is what we should do. I wonder what this gentleman wants to talk about?"
Qi Jingchu turned over and dismounted, habitually pressed the knife with her right hand, and walked with an indescribable dignity, "Let's go over there and talk."
"You guys rest where you are and take care of the good things!"
The sword guards all dismounted, "Yes, sir!"
After walking about a hundred steps, they were already a certain distance away from the crowd. Qi Jingchu stopped and Cao An also stood still. The old dog at his feet turned around happily and lay at Cao An's feet, making him squat down. He touched its head.
It is already a dog monster with enlightened intelligence, and it is really difficult for it to pretend to do something that only ordinary guard dogs do.
Qi Jingchu's gaze was like a laser light shining on Cao An. The head catcher who had been dealing with gangsters and prisoners all year round had a certain dignity in his gaze. Cao An felt a little uncomfortable and shrugged.
"Tell me, Mr. Catcher, what do you want to talk about? If you have other plans, I still have a few puppets in my hand that I can throw out for you to play with."
She ignored Cao An's teasing, "Did you destroy the god of the Blood Spirit Religion?"
'So that's what happened, but how could the power of the imperial court know what happened last night so quickly? 'You must know that this is in an era when communication is not developed.
"I don't know it myself, but some people say that there was something wrong with me that caused the God of the Blood Spirit Cult to have a problem, even though I was in a coma at the time and knew nothing about it." Cao An answered truthfully.
The old dog beneath him shivered, feeling as if his new owner was going to sell him.
"who?"
"A little demon who survived in the mountain temple."
"Where is the demon now?"
"I don't know, it's a flower demon. I heard what she said. She was helped by the Blood Spirit God to get rid of her ignorance. She gained spiritual wisdom and started practicing. I didn't do anything to it. It was also scared. It was broken, and I answered whatever I asked, but it didn’t know much, and it wasn’t in the hall at the time. After I left, I didn’t know if it was still there.”
The old dog rubbed Cao An's calf.
Qi Jingchu saw the dog and said, "You have another partner."
"One pancake just followed me. I'm not in a hurry anyway. If it can keep up, let it follow."
Qi Jingchu asked for some more details, and Cao An answered fluently. These are things he has experienced, and there is no need to adulterate them, so he can deal with them naturally.
"Okay, no more questions, you can go."
"I want to go to the city, and I hope Qi Baotou will open the door for convenience. Some of the things I need may not be available in the small town. I guess I will have to go to the county seat in the end." Cao An calmly put forward his needs.
"I'm giving you enough face by not arresting you, Cao An, don't push yourself too far."
"Master Ren from Funiu Mountain said the same thing back then. He might have brought more people than you that day. Master Qi, do you think that even if you really capture me, how confident are you that you can capture me? Cooperation requires sincerity, you have seen my sincerity, but where is Mr. Qi’s sincerity?”
Without high-level puppets, Cao An, whose sense of security is at its lowest point, will definitely go to the city. If he can get some benefits from Qi Jingchu, it would be best to save himself a lot of trouble.
"You only have seven days. I order you to be my slave for seven days. After seven days, the token will be effective. When I see you next time, you and I will still be at odds with each other, and I will arrest you!"
Cao An grabbed the thrown wooden sign, which had her surname Qi Jingchu on it. His mind failed to turn around for a while. After looking at it for a while, he realized that this was the early informant, Erwuzi.
"Thank you, Master Qi."
Entering the town or crossing the county did not cause any ripples. With Qi Jingchu's wooden sign in hand, even if he occasionally encounters obstacles at checkpoints, taking out the wooden sign is enough to solve everything.
He is like a leaf falling into the water, letting nature take its course, moving with the current of the mortal world, pondering his own thoughts amid the general trend, without feeling great sorrow or joy, anger or hatred, even if he is treated as a sacrificial animal. After going to the altar table, I just reflected on my caution without much emotion.
Ups and downs, moving with the current, but not integrated into it. Even he himself didn't know how conspicuous the leaves in his stream were.
In this dark place where monsters, humans, ghosts and gods are clearly differentiated and hierarchical, each hugging each other for warmth and not daring to cross the line easily for fear of falling into a dangerous place. He is obviously an alien, and he can follow regardless of who is hooking up with him. Walk a little way, hand the knife, and then return the knife.
Two months later, at the foot of Shiwan Mountain, a man, a donkey, and an old dog were resting in the sunset.
From this position, you can still vaguely see a long defense line. It was the southern defense line established by the dynasty to defend against the beast tide in Shiwan Mountain. When Cao An passed there, he was shocked by the majestic building for a long time. The wall is forty feet high and twenty feet wide, winding along the mountain line with no beginning or end.
A million troops were stationed along the entire southern border defense line, relying on the fertile fields cultivated in the city to be self-sufficient. The imperial court carried out defense changes in batches every five years, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the border line and the strength of the southern border line. Enough. Basically, for the vast majority of people who join the army, they will only be stationed at the border defense line once in their lives.
After a long period of development, the gathering of trade caravans from all walks of life on the southern border made it vaguely more prosperous than some of the most powerful cities in the Central Plains.
After all, when it comes to resources, even the hinterland of the Central Plains is far less than the southern border. There are hundreds of thousands of mountains. There are not only endless monsters and beasts, but also natural materials, treasures, and opportunities!
In ancient times, Shiwandashan once nurtured an empire...
With the tacit approval of the imperial court and the upper echelons of the demon clan, this place became a testing ground for humans and demon beasts. Regardless of whether they are humans or demons, as long as they enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the strong will live and the weak will die!
