The distance of ten miles can be reached in an instant when the horse is galloping.
The soldiers at the gate of Mianyuan County looked at the billowing smoke and the troops, their faces filled with shock and horror.
This team in particular was fully armored and fully armed.
For a moment, the city guards were in chaos: some were in a hurry to close the city gate, some ran to move their horses, and some braved their courage and shouted in a trembling voice: "Who is coming? Stop quickly!"
The night watchman guarding Xue Qingshan and Qin Shaoyou held up the token of the Demon Suppression Department and responded loudly:
"The Demon Suppression Department is doing its work. Anyone who has nothing to do with it should get out of the way immediately. Do not stop them, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
"Demon Suppression Department?"
The leader of this group of city gate soldiers changed his expression after seeing clearly the token in the hands of the night watchman. He hurriedly turned around and shouted to his men: "Move the horse, open the city gate, and don't stop the Lord of the Demon Suppression Department." Handle the case!”
He was also experienced. After giving the order, he immediately hid by the city gate, fearing that he would be chopped down by a knife because he blocked the marching route of the Demon Suppression Division.
That would really be a wasted death, with no pension at all.
After hearing the order from the military leader, the soldiers at the city gate followed the instructions one after another, opened the city gate, pushed away the horses, and then hid aside in the same manner.
However, a few crows that had been resting on Juma and on the wall suddenly fluttered their wings and flew towards the city.
Qin Shaoyou saw this scene and shouted hurriedly: "Kill these crows and don't let them fly away!"
Although it is not certain whether these crows were planted by the Black Lotus Sect, at this time and in this situation, it is really better to kill them than to let them go!
So when he shouted the reminder, Qin Shaoyou also threw the sword in his hand.
He hasn't practiced archery yet, but he is quite accurate at throwing knives.
Especially when thrown with all his strength, the sword was not only extremely fast, but also very powerful. It hit two crows in an instant, and slashed them into the brick wall at the city gate with a 'dang' sound.
While stirring up a pile of rubble, it also nailed two crows here, and two pools of dark red blood dripped down.
The night watchmen in the team who were good at archery opened their bows and shot arrows.
Arrows rained down from the sky. Not only crows, but also other birds were shot down, and not a single one was allowed to escape.
There was a moment of silence at the city gate.
It was literally silent.
As he ran past the city gate, Qin Shaoyou reached out and pulled out the sword that had been cut into the wall bricks, but the corpses of two crows were deeply embedded in the wall bricks.
When Xue Qingshan rode his horse into Mianyuan County, he ordered a general flag officer beside him: "Leave a few people to guard here, and then divide a few people to go to other city gates to take over the defense!"
The flag officer immediately made arrangements, and soon several riders left the team and galloped to the left and right sides respectively.
Several more night watchmen, after the whole team entered the city, reined in their horses, called the city gate soldiers to arrange defense, and closed the city gate.
What surprised the city gate soldiers was that the defense line set up by these night watchmen was obviously to prevent people from the county town from escaping!
What happened in the county? Did they actually attract so many night watchmen? Isn’t the case of the missing child closed?
"grown ups……"
The soldiers at the city gate dared to ask, but were interrupted as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Don't pry if you shouldn't pry, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers at the city gate quickly closed their mouths, wishing they could sew them shut with a needle.
Kill without mercy at every turn, who the hell can afford to offend this!
After rushing into the city, the night watchman's horse galloped at a speed that did not slow down at all.
He just shouted to the pedestrians on the road: "The Demon Suppression Department is handling the case. Everyone should retreat to the roadside and squat down with their heads in their hands. Don't run around without orders!"
Pedestrians on the road were shocked and obediently retreated to the roadside and squatted down with their heads in their hands, not daring to move. People with children even hugged their children tightly.
But there are also people who want to take advantage of the chaos and run into the alleys or shops on the roadside.
Whenever they encountered such a person, several night watchmen would leave the team and chase them. After capturing them, they would shackle them to the pillars of a roadside shop and leave them for interrogation later.
If anyone dares to resist, he will be punished on the spot!
Along the way, Qin Shaoyou's men returned one after another, bringing some new information.
Based on this information, Xue Qingshan dispatched several more riders to prevent the residents of Mianyuan County from preying on wild dogs.
In the blink of an eye, we reached a fork in the road.
The team will be divided into two here. The big team will follow Xue Qingshan to the Chenghuang Temple, and the small team will rush to Zhang Shilang's residence under the leadership of Mr. Xie.
When they parted, Su Tingyu clasped her fists on the horse and said, "Qin Xiaoqi, take care."
"Take care of yourself."
Qin Shaoyou, who was speeding away, turned around and responded.
No surprise, Su Tingyu looked in the wrong direction again...
The horse's hooves flew very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the City God's Temple appeared in the field of vision.
At the same time, the Black Lotus Sect sentries outside the City God's Temple also discovered this heavily armed cavalry team. They were immediately frightened and hurriedly issued a warning.
But as soon as they gave a warning, they were immediately noticed by the night watchmen, who immediately rode out and fought with them.
Although the sentries of the Black Lotus were not weak, the Night Watchmen were more numerous and better equipped than them, and they were caught off guard. Therefore, they were killed every time they could not resist for a few seconds!
As for the large group of people, they rushed straight to the Chenghuang Temple without stopping.
Therefore, when the Black Lotus Sect demons in the City God's Temple received news of the enemy attack, Xue Qingshan and Qin Shaoyou had already led the night watchmen to the gate of the City God's Temple.
"Stop traveling, crash in with me!"
After Xue Qingshan flew away the Black Lotus Sect sentry who tried to stop him with a spear, he laughed loudly and actually wanted to go all out and lead the way to open the temple door.
Facing Xue Qingshan, who was taking the lead, Qin Shaoyou had to keep up.
He also wanted to save those poor children who were turned into dogs in the Chenghuang Temple!
I also want to kill all the Black Lotus Sect demons in the City God’s Temple!
Facing the closed gate of the City God's Temple, the night watchmen headed by Xue Qingshan and Qin Shaoyou did not slow down, and just ran into it with their horses!
"boom!"
The gate of the City God's Temple was instantly trampled to pieces by horse hooves.
Xue Qingshan and Qin Shaoyou, one holding a spear and the other wielding a sword, rushed in after breaking down the door.
The night watchmen followed, swarming in.
The demons of the Black Lotus Sect in the City God's Temple were all shocked when they saw the arrival of the Demon Suppressor.
They never expected that the people from the Demon Suppression Department would come so fast and so fiercely!
