The group of night watchmen under Qin Shaoyou have already developed their emergency response capabilities.
It didn't take them much time to get ready. Their horses were saddled, their men were armored, they brought all kinds of weapons, and they completed all the work before the trip.
Qin Shaoyou also put on a suit of armor and took several supernatural items with him in case of unexpected events.
But he was not in a hurry to get on his horse, but walked to the lobby to offer incense to the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
At the same time, he also warned Sun Xianzong who stayed behind: "Old Sun, after we leave, you will have to work hard to guard the house. I can only rest assured if I leave this job to you. And the county government, you should also pay more attention to help me take care of it."
Stay focused."
Although the few flag officers under Qin Shaoyou are all talented and have unique and good abilities, when it comes to commanding troops and being cautious, they still have to look to Sun Xianzong.
That's why Qin Shaoyou left Sun Xianzong to look after the family, and also asked him and his subordinates to serve as a strategic reserve team.
Once something unexpected happens in Shuanggui Village, the troops under Sun Xianzong will be the most recent and strongest reinforcement.
Sun Xianzong knew very well the tasks he had to undertake.
However, he did not boast, nor did he make endless guarantees. He simply nodded and handed over his hands, accepting the order: "Yes!"
Although Sun Xianzong has been in the Demon Suppression Division for a long time, he still maintains the style of the frontier army, which is what Qin Shaoyou is happy to see.
Walking into the lobby, Qin Shaoyou put a stick of incense on the statue of the Patriarch of Jiutiandang Demon, and whispered in his mouth: "Master Patriarch, bless you, whether you will have a banquet or vegetables tomorrow will depend on what you do tonight..."
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others also followed in the lobby, lit incense on the statue of the Patriarch, and prayed to the Patriarch to bless them for their safe return.
This behavior can be regarded as the routine of the Demon Suppression Department before going on a mission.
After offering the incense, Qin Shaoyou led everyone back to the compound of the Demon Suppression Division. After getting on his horse, he greeted: "Let's go!"
He took the lead in galloping out of the gate of the Demon Suppression Department.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others followed closely behind on horseback.
After Qin Shaoyou and others left, Sun Xianzong immediately ordered people to close the door tightly.
He also sent people with strong bows and crossbows to the rooms on the wall to guard the Demon Suppression Department and the county government.
In addition, he divided his subordinates into two groups and took turns patrolling Mianyuan County at night.
While Sun Xianzong was busy making arrangements, Qin Shaoyou and the others flew to the city gate of Mianyuan County.
In the dark night, the gate of the county town was closed tightly. The soldiers guarding the city gate heard the sound of horse hooves and hurriedly came out with weapons and torches to check.
Then they saw a badge belonging to the chief flag officer of the Demon Suppression Division, and heard an order: "The Demon Suppression Division has gone out of the city to handle the case, and open the city gate quickly."
After verifying the authenticity of the waist tag, the team of city gate soldiers did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly opened the city gate to let them pass, and returned the waist tag to the young and handsome chief flag officer of the Demon Suppression Division.
After watching the night watchman rush out of Mianyuan County on Pegasus, the group of soldiers quickly closed the city gate, fearing that something unclean would slip in in the dark.
At the same time, they couldn't help but start talking:
"What case are these night watchmen from the Demon Suppression Department investigating? Two groups of people have gone out tonight, and not to mention they are all fully armed, and there are dozens of people in the latter group!"
"Didn't the chief flag officer of the Demon Suppression Department just take office today? A major case was discovered so quickly?"
"I have inquired about the new general flag officer of the Demon Suppression Division. He is known as the Tiger of the Demon Suppression Division. Although he looks young and handsome, he looks like a pretty boy, but he is actually a ruthless person and has solved many major cases.
Important case."
"I heard that Mr. Shu told their story. There is a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks beside the tiger of the Demon Suppression Division. They are also quite powerful..."
"Hey, do you think the case that made all these night watchmen come out is related to this damn drought?"
"It would be great if this were the case. If this damn drought doesn't stop, we will all have to flee."
Several city gate soldiers were discussing, and suddenly one person was stunned for a moment, his eyes became a little blurry, and then he turned around and walked to the side.
When a soldier saw this scene, he stopped him and asked, "Old Chen, what are you doing?"
"Pee." Lao Chen's tone was a little weird and stiff.
But the soldiers at the city gate didn't pay attention, they just teased: "Then you can go farther away and don't let the smell of urine get to us."
Their laughter soon stopped, because two people suddenly jumped out of the dark night, one behind the other, and held down Lao Chen.
Lao Chen struggled hard, and even exploded with far more powerful strength than usual, but he still couldn't break free from the oppression of the two men, and was firmly tied up with special shackles.
After the shock, the soldiers at the city gate picked up their weapons and went to help and rescue their comrades.
But the two people who tied up Lao Chen took out the night watchman's waistband and threw it to them, and said: "The Demon Suppression Department is handling the case. You guys will also go back to the Demon Suppression Department with us to help.
investigation!"
Several city gate soldiers were immediately stunned.
Why did you offend the night watchman of the Demon Suppression Department?
Looking at that old Chen again, something was obviously wrong. His pupils were bloodshot, like a wild beast...
A moment later, Qin Shaoyou, who was galloping in the dark night outside the city, received the paper crane talisman from Sun Xianzong.
After hearing the news about the Paper Crane Talisman's report, Monk Ma, who was guarding Qin Shaoyou, marveled: "Is there really an accomplice of the Corpse Raising Demon Dao in Mianyuan County? Your Excellency, you are indeed very knowledgeable, and you have no clues!"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said: "That city gate soldier does not look like an accomplice of the corpse-raising demon, but more like a chess piece controlled by him with some kind of magic."
Cui Yougui nodded in agreement: "Judging from the situation described by Lao Sun, it is very likely that the city gate soldier was controlled... In this case, our actions may have been exposed, and we wanted to catch the zombie demon Dao off guard.
I’m afraid my wish will come true.”
Qin Shaoyou nodded solemnly.
Although some weird city gate soldiers have been controlled, no one can guarantee that there will be no news from the Corpse Raising Demon Road.
Therefore, you must be fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou immediately sent out two paper crane symbols.
A paper crane talisman was sent to Luocheng to report the matter to Xue Qingshan and ask for assistance.
After all, what they have to face is a zombie that is about to become a demon, and the mysterious way of raising corpses.
Even Senior Brother Cui couldn't tell how much trouble and danger there would be in this case. To be cautious, it was better to call for reinforcements first.
The other paper crane talisman was given to Liao Yaosuo.
Qin Shaoyou used code words in the paper crane talisman to describe the situation and findings here to Liao Yaosuo, reminding them to pay attention to safety and stay vigilant. Once there is fog in Shuanggui Village tonight, he will follow them and follow them along the way.
Leave clues.
After handing out the two paper crane talismans, Qin Shaoyou called on everyone to speed up, hoping to get to Shuanggui Village as soon as possible so that he could seize the opportunity and make some arrangements.
However, before Shuanggui Village arrived, the night watchmen discovered some strange situations that were different from other places in this dark night...
