On the way to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer took a detour and sent Xue Xiaobao to the Imperial College.
Considering the recent undercurrents in the capital and strange things happening one after another, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer are somewhat worried.
They repeatedly reminded Xue Xiaobao to pay attention to his safety, not to make unreasonable decisions when encountering problems, and to contact them as soon as possible.
In addition, in addition to asking Xue Xiaobao's confidantes to keep an eye on him and not to cause trouble, Qin Shaoyou also took out a few paper figures with facial features drawn with "wonderful pens" and handed them to Xue Xiaobao.
"If you encounter an accident, activate these paper figures and they will protect you. I will also rush over to help you as soon as possible."
Xue Xiaobao took the paper man, looked at it, and complained: "Uncle, can't you practice painting? Look at the eyes, ears, mouth and nose you painted, it's too ugly."
When Zhu Xiucai heard this, he immediately felt a bit like a confidant: "I have also advised you to practice painting, but he didn't listen."
"As long as it works, what's the point of painting something so beautiful? I don't need to sleep with the paper man in my arms."
Qin Shaoyou glared at Zhu Xiucai angrily, and then glared at Xue Xiaobao: "If you think the painting is ugly, give it back to me."
Xue Xiaobao quickly put the paper man into his pocket.
These paper figures are as ugly as they come, but they can save their lives.
Afraid that Qin Shaoyou would really take it back, he hurriedly flattered him and said thank you.
Qin Shaoyou waved his hand angrily and asked him to report to the Imperial College on his own.
The female ghosts who accompanied Xue Xiaobao all the way got into the jade pendant that Xue Xiaobao was carrying.
This jade pendant was made by Taoist Master Zeng when he took the time to help Xue Xiaobao on his way to Beijing. It can house ghosts.
To prevent those female ghosts from following Xue Xiaobao all the time, damaging his yang energy and causing him to end up like Zhu Xiucai at such a young age.
As for the fox girl and rabbit girl, they hid their tails and ears and put on men's clothes.
They will accompany Xue Xiaobao as book boys.
Here in the capital, it is not uncommon to keep spirits and monsters as slaves.
Even if the professors in the Imperial College see that the Fox Girl and Rabbit Girl are inhuman, as long as they are registered and do not do evil or cause trouble, they will not say anything.
After Xue Xiaobao said goodbye to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, he turned around and took two book boys with red lips and white teeth into the Imperial College to register for school.
Xu Baan and others who came from Luocheng Town Demon Division sent Xue Xiaobao to the Imperial Academy, which was considered as completing their mission.
But it was getting dark now, so they were not in a hurry to leave immediately.
They planned to find a post station in the capital, stay there for a few days, and see the bustling scene in the capital before setting off back to Luocheng.
After saying goodbye to Xu Baan and others, Qin Shaoyou and the others arrived at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. The sky was already dark.
Outside the yamen of the headquarters, a group of night watchmen with swords in their hands stood guard. Seeing their arrival from a distance, they recognized Qin Qiaoer and her red-clothed envoys, and greeted warmly: "Commander Qin, you are back."
Seeing the young man next to Qin Qiaoer who had some similarities with her, the flag officer leading the team was slightly stunned, but then showed a look of admiration.
"This must be your younger brother, the Tiger of the Demon Suppressing Division as mentioned by Zuo Zhenfu, right? He is indeed a hero and has an extraordinary bearing."
Qin Qiaoer was very happy when she heard someone praising her younger brother, even happier than when she was praised.
After saying hello to the other party and introducing Qin Shaoyou to him, he led the others into the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
Qin Qiaoer is familiar with this place.
She first took Qin Shaoyou and others to go through the formalities and registrations. After receiving the promotion decree and getting the petition, she also led them to several dormitories.
During this time in the capital, if Qin Shaoyou and others do not want to spend money renting a house outside, they can live in the dormitory at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
Of course, these dormitories are all Datongbu, even if they are now officials of hundreds of households, officials of thousands of households are no exception.
Land is at a premium in this part of the capital, so being able to live in a free dormitory is already great. If you want to live in a private house, you have to spend your own money.
Qin Shaoyou is not afraid of spending money.
Over at Qingtang, he had become a close confidant of the king, and received many rewards and filial piety.
He asked the Yin soldiers to move all the money away and hid it in Cai Guizhong's Chenghuang Temple and Li Erlang's Shuifu Mansion.
When I came to Beijing this time, I knew that there were many places where I needed to spend money. Qin Shaoyou brought a lot of money with him.
Besides, even if the money is not enough, are the fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law still in the capital?
The fourth sister came to Beijing this time. In addition to her training plan, she also brought a lot of belongings. She originally planned to spend a large sum of money to seek medical advice, but now she has saved it.
Considering that it would be inconvenient to live in the Datongpu dormitory permanently, Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai to rent a house from Yaren.
As a result, Zhu Xiucai grinned: "You don't have to worry about this, sir. I arrived in the capital early this morning. In addition to inquiring about the news, I also rented a house. It is not far from the Yamen. It is a two-entry courtyard. It is completely suitable for us people.
no problem."
Qin Shaoyou originally thought that he would squeeze into Datongpu in the dormitory tonight, but he did not expect that Zhu Xiucai gave him such a surprise and immediately praised him for doing well.
Of course, the dormitory key was not returned.
From today on, he will be on duty at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. If he has to work overnight, it would be good to have a place to squint.
After receiving the petition and the keys to the dormitory, Qin Qiaoer took Qin Shaoyou and others to visit the seniors and superior officials at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
These people have a very good attitude towards Qin Shaoyou.
On the one hand, it was because Qin Shaoyou and the others had made great achievements and made the Demon Suppressing Department look bad.
On the other hand, it is to give Qin Qiaoer face.
Qin Qiaoer's master is Qi Longfei, and his master is the commander Lu Bing.
Among the high-ranking officials at the Demon Suppression Division headquarters, Lu Bing's apprentices accounted for at least half.
Qin Qiaoer's uncles and uncles usually like this female nephew very much, and they naturally love Qin Shaoyou very much.
As for the other half of the senior officials, most of them were promoted by Lu Bing. There was only one commanding officer and one commanding officer, who were appointed by Emperor Jianwu.
For the people of the Lu Bing faction, Qin Shaoyou is one of their own, so their attitude will naturally not be bad.
The two people who were installed by Emperor Jianwu were not at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division at the moment, and their attitude was unclear for the time being.
What Qin Shaoyou didn't expect was that Zuo Qianhu did not return to Yizhou, but stayed at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
After asking, I found out that Zuo Qianhu was promoted to governor by Emperor Jianwu because of his meritorious service in arresting the King of Shu, and was appointed in Beijing. However, he had not been given a specific job yet.
Because Qi Longfei was assisting Yu Huyue in the Qingtang front line, Lu Bing asked him to temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Red Envoys.
If Qin Shaoyou had not been promoted, then now he would have to be Qi Longfei's subordinate again.
Lu Bing went out for inspection and did not return. Among the two commanders and three commanders under him, two of them he promoted went to the Zongren Mansion to lead a team to protect Si Xiu and Qin Lin.
Among the other three, one was on duty in the imperial city, and the other two, like Lu Bing, went to inspect the surrounding areas of the capital but did not return.
Now in the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division, apart from Zuo Zixiong, there are only two other Suppression Envoys left behind.
One of the governors was Wu Ming, Lu Bing's eldest disciple.
His body shape is somewhat rounded, and his length is somewhat similar to that of Sammo Hung. He smiled and said to Mr. Qin:
"Shao You, welcome to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. The Governor of Zuo Zhen has been praising you in front of us all these days, which makes our ears almost feel numb."
Immediately afterwards, Wu Ming glanced at Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma, Cui Youxian and others, and continued to smile: "You are all heroes of our Demon Suppression Division. When you come here, you are going home. If you have any needs, please ask.
Don’t be embarrassed.”
Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands and was about to speak. Brother Cui, who didn't know what it meant to be embarrassed, spoke up first:
"I want to go to the spirit room... huh huh..."
Before Cui Yougui could finish his words, Qin Shaoyou blocked his mouth with blood-letting gas.
If we really want Senior Brother Cui to go to the Spiritual Object Room, the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Department will be blown up? He, Qin Shaoyou, cannot bear this responsibility.
Besides, if you want to blow up, you shouldn’t blow up the Demon Suppression Department...
However, Qin Shaoyou was not polite to this cheap master. While stopping Cui Yougui, he took out a list from his arms and handed it into Wu Ming's hand.
"Please, uncle, help me find the ingredients on the list."
Wu Ming took the order and glanced at it. The smile on his face suddenly stopped, showing a strange expression. Then he raised his head in shock and looked at Qin Shaoyou.
