The next day.

 Shen Changqing got up early in the morning and was just about to say goodbye to Zhongchi when the other party knocked on the door first.

 Open the door.

I happened to see Zhongchi’s solemn expression.

 Let the other party enter, and Shen Changqing closed the door again.

 The two of them sat down.

Shen Changqing looked at the solemn Zhong Chi in front of him and couldn't help but look confused.

“Master Zhong looks so solemn, has something happened?”

“The barbarians raided Dahuang Prefecture the day before yesterday. Several cities were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of troops were killed. Now the barbarians have occupied the gate of Dahuang Prefecture, and their troops are marching north towards Jincheng!”

Zhongchi’s tone was solemn, and the words he spoke made people blush.

 Shen Changqing's original calm expression could not be maintained.

 Before coming to Dahuang Prefecture, he had some understanding of the situation in Dahuang Prefecture.

 The so-called portal.

 It is the city guarding the border of Dahuang Prefecture. It is the place where Dahuang Prefecture’s troops gather to defend against barbarians.

 There is this portal.

Even if the barbarians invaded Dahuang Mansion, they would not dare to go as far as they wanted.

If the retreat route is cut off by Da Qin, then all the barbarians who penetrate deep into Dahuang Mansion will have no choice but to die.

so.

As long as those few cities are there, even if the barbarians enter Dahuang Mansion, they will not dare to be too rampant.

 But once the door is lost, the consequences can be imagined.

  Waiting for Shen Changqing to speak.

Zhongchi continued: "At the same time, evil spirits were causing chaos in various places in the Great Wilderness Mansion. Evil-level monsters that were rarely seen in the past emerged one after another, causing the three powerful demon-suppressing divisions to come out, just to suppress the evil spirits."

 There are evil spirits inside that are causing trouble, and there are barbarians attacking outside.

 The current Dahuang Mansion is in a very serious situation.

When he finished speaking, Shen Changqing frowned: "The time of the demons' rebellion coincides so well with the barbarian attack. Is it possible that they have some collusion?"

"good!"

 Zhongchi nodded.

“The barbarians have joined forces with the Eternal Life Alliance. We have always been kept in the dark about this matter. The Eternal Life Alliance drove the evil spirits to cause chaos, which gave the barbarians a chance to break through the Great Desolate Mansion.”

 Sure enough!

Shen Changqing thought to himself, and then looked at Zhongchi.

“Master Zhong came here this time, does he want me to stay?”

Hearing this, Zhong Chi took a deep breath.

Looking at Shen Changqing's face, he was also more solemn than ever.

“I understand what Lord Shen’s mission is this time. Now that the Eternal Life Alliance’s stronghold in Jincheng has been temporarily removed, it should be time to return to the Demon-Suppressing Division to revive.

However, there are still evil spirits from the Eternal Alliance hidden in the city. I hope Master Shen can stay and help get rid of those evil spirits.

 I will truthfully report this matter to the Demon Suppressor in the capital, and the reward for the task will definitely not be less.

In addition, I also ask Mr. Shen, for the sake of the many people in Jincheng, to stay and help Jincheng!"

 Finished.

Zhongchi stood up and bowed deeply.

The barbarians marched straight in, and Jincheng would soon face a military disaster.

Although there is a Black Tiger Army guarding the city, it doesn't seem to matter if there is one more Shen Changqing and one less Shen Changqing.

 But things don’t work out that way.

 With Shen Changqing's strength, he can almost be regarded as the strongest person in Jincheng.

 The other party is there.

 If nothing else, at least dealing with evil spirits is not a problem.

If the other party leaves, and the Black Tiger Army has to deal with both the barbarians and the evil spirits in the city, it will be in great trouble if it cannot take care of both the beginning and the end.

 There was silence for a while.

 Shen Changqing spoke slowly.

“It’s not a problem for me to stay in Jincheng, but if the barbarians really want to attack in a large scale now, with the twelve thousand black tiger army, there is absolutely no possibility of resistance. Does Tianchawei have any other news?

 What does the court have to say about this matter?"

“The incident happened suddenly, and the news has not yet reached the Central Plains. It is impossible for the imperial court to provide reinforcements in the short term. Now, only the existing army in Dahuang Prefecture must be assembled to restrain the barbarians and delay the arrival of the imperial court’s reinforcements.



 Otherwise, with strong men from the Demon Suppression Division accompanying the army, we will have a great advantage."

Zhongchi said in a deep voice.

The powerful demon slayers he was talking about were naturally not those apprentice demon slayers and yellow-level demon slayers.

 The armies are engaged in battle.

 Until you enter the innate realm, you will be no different from ordinary soldiers.

 Even if an innate warrior can withstand sneak attacks from hidden arrows, once he is caught in a military formation, he will be doomed.

 Only those who are at the Grand Master level and above can play a powerful role in the war.

 One against a hundred, one against a thousand, it is not a problem.

even.

 Some strong people can do more.

Strictly speaking, the Demon Suppressing Division is not only a powerful tool for the Qin Dynasty to deal with evil spirits, but it is also a useful means to lay the foundation for the Qin Dynasty and conduct foreign wars.

 Hear this.

 Shen Changqing nodded.

“I can stay, but I also hope Master Zhong will truthfully report to the Demon Suppressor.”

"no problem."

 The solemn look on Zhongchi's face relaxed a lot.

It is undoubtedly a good thing that the other party agrees to stay.

"There was a sneak attack on the Yamen last night, and many people died. I heard that Nie Xu cultivated his righteousness and killed the invading monsters. If Mr. Shen is free, you can go to the Yamen to take a look.

 I have a lot of things to deal with, so I won’t interrupt."

 After saying that, Zhong Chi stood up and left, leaving only Shen Changqing sitting there.

 “Haoran is upright!?”

 His mind was recalling what Zhongchi had just said.

 For Haoran’s righteousness.

to be honest.

 Shen Changqing has only heard about it, but has never really seen it.

What he didn't expect was that Nie Xu, a county magistrate who was born in Juren, could actually develop the awe-inspiring righteousness to kill evil spirits.

To know.

 Haoran's righteousness can restrain evil spirits, but it cannot be cultivated by just one person.

 Suppress the shock inside.

 Shen Changqing's mind turned around and he was thinking about other things.

 Barbarian attack.

 There is chaos in Dahuang Mansion due to evil spirits.

Although the situation cannot be said to be completely ruined, it is definitely not going to be easy.

Originally, he planned to go directly back to the Suppressing Demon Division today, but Zhong Chi's insistence on staying finally gave up the idea of ​​going back to the Suppressing Demon Division.

 It is not difficult to guess from what the other party said.

 Follow up words.
