Among the welcoming crowd, Qin Shaoyou saw his fifth brother-in-law An Mutong, and Ye Zhiqiu, Sun Xianzong, Shan Daonian and others from Mianyuan County Town Demon Division.
He wanted to go over to find these people to understand the situation, but the people in Mianyuan County were too enthusiastic, so it took him a lot of effort to get in front of these people.
In fact, with Qin Shaoyou's current strength, as long as he releases his blood energy, the people will not only be unable to get close to him, but will also be blown away directly.
But he is not a crazy villain, how could he do such a disgraceful thing at such a time?
Therefore, when Qin Shaoyou walked up to An Mutong, Ye Zhiqiu and others, his whole body, except for his crotch and buttocks, were all touched by the enthusiastic people.
The shiny appearance is like the bronze lion statue at the entrance of the temple.
Qin Shaoyou's behavior is considered good.
The few red-clothed envoys under Qin Qiaoer had no experience in this area, and a lot of their hair was pulled out by the enthusiastic people, intending to take it back and make it into amulets.
When these people felt their heads were chilling, they realized something was wrong, and then imitated Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others to protect their hair with blood. Only then did they retain their last stubbornness and avoid becoming bald like Monk Ma.
"Brother-in-law, Lao Ye..."
Qin Shaoyou arrived in front of An Mutong, Ye Zhiqiu and others. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of noisy gongs and drums ringing in his ears.
Turning around, I saw the little Qingji riding bamboo horses through the crowd.
They are small in size and can scurry under people's feet. However, they are very flexible and have no fear of being stepped on.
The Qingjis were divided into small groups, some with four or five holding a gong, and a dozen or so holding a drum.
There were several Qingjis standing on the gongs and drums, beating wildly with mallets.
These little guys just play gongs and drums, but the sound is loud but has no melody, which makes people feel upset and angry.
Not only that, they opened their small mouths and shouted loudly:
"Back! Back!"
"Master Qin is back!"
These people outside the city have all seen Qin Shaoyou return, and what the Qingjis are shouting at the moment is nothing but nonsense.
But this is in line with Qingji's character.
Talk a lot, have a loud voice, and have no nutrition.
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and let out blood, which entangled these Qingjis so that they could not make a sound or beat the gongs and drums, and then asked:
"Who gave them the gongs and drums? Don't you think they are noisy enough?"
Sun Xianzong, an old subordinate, hurriedly explained: "Sir, it's like this. The folks in our county can't sleep until they hear the sound of our gongs patrolling at night. We have no choice but to add gongs and drums to these celebrations." , let them help us patrol, beat gongs and drums to calm the people."
It turned out that this was what happened. Qin Shaoyou nodded and did not dwell on this matter anymore. Instead, he asked: "How do you know we will come back today? Folks, it's not you who organized it, right?"
"How is it possible? The villagers are all spontaneous. Even if we want to organize, we can't organize it on such a large scale."
An Mutong explained with a smile.
"Someone saw you returning to Luocheng. After the news came back, the villagers immediately became excited. They all said that you will definitely come back. So in the past few days, they gathered outside the city early in the morning to wait for you. You see Among them, there are still many people who came from the towns below, traveling in the dark and at night. If they didn't catch you, they would have to go back overnight and come back the next day."
When a messenger in red heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Come here overnight? Aren't they afraid of monsters?"
Ye Zhiqiu, Sun Xianzong and Shan Daonian all laughed.
"This gentleman is joking. With our Demon Suppression Department here, the Demon Suppression Department here, and the River God Water Mansion here, where else can there be demons and ghosts who dare to come to Mianyuan County to cause trouble?"
The tone in which they said this was full of pride, which made the red-clothed messenger envious.
Qin Shaoyou frowned secretly after hearing this.
It is a good thing that the people trust the Demon Suppression Division. But looking at the reactions of Ye Zhiqiu, Sun Xianzong and Shan Daonian, they were somewhat complacent and negligent. This was not a good thing, and they had to be reminded to stay vigilant at all times.
Everyone finally entered the city and came all the way to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division.
Qin Shaoyou stood at the gate of the yamen. Even with his [skillful tongue], it took a lot of effort to persuade the folks in Mianyuan County to disperse.
After sending the people away, Qin Shaoyou had a serious expression and called together An Mutong, Ye Zhiqiu, Sun Xianzong and Shan Daonian. He told them about the possible revenge of the Black Lotus Sect and told them to be more vigilant.
Later, he criticized the complacency that had arisen in the Mianyuan County Town Demon Department.
Although Qin Shaoyou has left Mianyuan County, the people here still obey him. After being criticized, Ye Zhiqiu, Sun Xianzong and Shan Daonian realized their mistakes, reviewed their mistakes with Qin Shaoyou, and promised to avoid arrogance and impetuosity in the future. Always be cautious.
The fine traditions passed down by Mr. Qin cannot be lost.
After the training, Qin Shaoyou sent Cai Guizhong back to the City God's Temple, and visited Cai Guizhong's mother and little fox wife.
After finishing, he and Qin Qiaoer went to the magistrate's office together, and met the fifth sister and two siblings, An Ziling and An Zizhan.
After having a meal at Fifth Sister's house, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer were about to say goodbye.
"You're leaving so soon? Why don't you stay for two more days?"
The fifth sister held the hands of her younger siblings, her face full of surprise and reluctance.
"We want to hurry up and catch up with Xue Xiaobao." Qin Shaoyou explained.
The fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law had already known about Xue Xiaobao's admission to the Imperial Academy - the day Xue Qingshan received the decree, he sent someone to tell them the news quickly, which was somewhat of a show off.
The fifth sister was also worried about Xue Xiaobao's child, so she didn't stay any longer: "Then you should be careful on the road. When you arrive in the capital, remember to write a letter back."
Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement, rubbed An Ziling's little head, taught her the breathing method, and then left the county office and returned to the Demon Suppression Department.
At this time, Zhu Xiucai and others were ready to travel.
Ye Zhiqiu, Sun Xianzong and Shan Daonian originally wanted to see them off, but Qin Shaoyou declined.
If they see them off, they will be discovered by the people immediately, and they may not be able to leave by then.
When the little Qingjis in the Demon Suppression Department saw that Qin Shaoyou and others were leaving, they immediately started shouting at the top of their lungs.
Qin Shaoyou and the others had anticipated this situation, and immediately blocked their mouths with blood energy and magic.
However, when Qin Shaoyou and the others were about to leave, a group of Xiao Qingji climbed onto the horse's back using their hands and feet.
Judging from this posture, it seems that he is planning to follow them.
"You want to go to the capital with us?" Qin Shaoyou grabbed a little Qingji and asked.
This little Qingji nodded repeatedly.
The same is true for other little Qingjis who climb horses.
Qin Shaoyou felt surprised and turned to Ye Zhiqiu: "Have they finished drinking their wine?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said: "What's more, we couldn't bear to drink the wine, so we gave it all to them. And there are a lot of people and snakes in the jar, so even if we finish drinking, we can still drink more."
"That's it."
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and felt that there seemed to be no inconvenience in bringing these Xiao Qingji.
And when he went to the capital, Xiao Qingji said that it might be of some use, so he nodded in agreement.
"I can take you with me, but you are not allowed to speak when we leave the city. If anyone opens his mouth, I will throw him off the horse!"
The little Qingjis quickly covered their mouths with their hands and nodded vigorously.
Xiao Qingji, who had already climbed onto the horse's back, was lucky. Those who were climbing on the horse's back immediately fell to the ground like dumplings because they lost their grip on their hands.
Qin Shaoyou raised his hand and patted his forehead.
This IQ...no one else.
He began to have some doubts about whether it was good or bad to bring these little Qingjis with him...
