Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the bamboo cage and books handed over by Qiu Shi.
Qiu Shi introduced: "This is a cage for raising voodoo insects. It is divided into nine layers and contains nine different types and functions of voodoo insects. I have written the relevant introduction and usage methods in this booklet. You can
Bring them with you, maybe they can help."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qiu."
After Qin Shaoyou accepted the bamboo cage and books, he whispered to Qiu Shi to report immediately once he had any results from his search in Guankou County.
After finishing, he took the war horse, and together with Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai, Sun Xianzong and others, left the Demon Suppression Division and walked out of the city.
Naturally, this scene was noticed by those people who were monitoring the situation of Qin Shaoyou and Mianyuan County Town Demon Division.
"Where is this boy named Qin going?"
"Looking at the luggage on the horse's back, I'm afraid he's going on a long journey."
"It must be going to Zhoucheng! Have you forgotten? Not long ago, Zuo Qianhu had someone send a warrant to the boy named Qin, asking him to report to the Yao Division of Zhouzhen after stabilizing the situation in Mianyuan County.
Condition."
"So, he can't wait to take credit for himself? No wonder he can become a trial member of the Demon Suppression Department at such a young age. If he knows how to work hard, how can he not be promoted quickly?"
When the leader heard this, he mused: "If he is really greedy for official position, it would be a good thing... At least it will be much easier for us to bribe him."
Several other people nodded in unison.
After they passed back the news that there was a new city god in Mianyuan County, they soon received an order from the nobles to find out the origin of the city god in Mianyuan County.
In the past few days, they also investigated clearly and found out that the new city god of Mianyuan County, named Cai Guizhong, was a sacrificed night watchman, and when he was alive, he worked under Qin Shaoyou.
Although they have not yet found out whether Qin Shaoyou played any role in Cai Guizhong becoming a city god, there is speculation.
The nobles probably thought so too, so not long ago, a new order was sent to them, asking them to find ways to win over Qin Shaoyou while continuing to investigate the matter.
"Tell me, why does the noble suddenly want to win over and bribe this guy named Qin?"
Some people couldn't understand and asked.
The leader sneered and said, "What's the point of asking? The new city god of Mianyuan County must have some relationship with this guy named Qin. Maybe it was with his help that he became the city god. Although the noble man
Gui, but he is just an ordinary person. If there is a chance to become an immortal or a god, how can he not be tempted? Even if he cannot become a god, it is better to be a city god or even a land god than to return to the underworld and be reincarnated after death, right? Who?
Do you know what kind of child you will be reborn in in your next life, or will you not be a human being?"
Everyone nodded in unison, feeling that this analysis made sense.
"The new city god of Mianyuan County really got help from that guy named Qin?"
"Who knows? But for noble people, as long as there is a chance, no matter how slim the chance is, I am afraid I want to give it a try... It is you and me. If we have such a chance to become an immortal, why wouldn't we not?"
"It makes sense. But what if the boy named Qin refuses to accept the kindness of the nobleman and refuses to accept the nobleman's kindness?"
"That's not something you and I have to worry about. But I guess if he doesn't know the rules and dares to drink a toast without eating it, he will be fined. The noble man will probably make him never drink."
After several people whispered, they wrote the news that Qin Shaoyou was leading the team to Zhoucheng and sent it out quietly.
They thought that what they were doing was very secretive and they didn't know that it was all under the control of Mianyuan County Town Demon Division.
So as soon as their secret message was sent out, Qin Shaoyou knew about it and even saw the entire content of their whispered discussion.
"The King of Shu wants to win over me? If that's the case, you can take advantage of it..."
Qin Shaoyou thought about it in his heart.
Zhu Xiucai, who sent the intelligence, asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to intercept the secret message they sent?"
"No need."
After Qin Shaoyou thought about it carefully, he shook his head and refused.
It was not difficult to intercept the secret message, but when they arrived at the state capital, the King of Shu did not receive the information from the spy here, so he would definitely know that the spy had been exposed.
That would cause more trouble.
Zhu Xiucai nodded to express his understanding, and then conveyed Qin Shaoyou's order.
After leaving the county seat, everyone mounted their horses and galloped along the official road towards the state city.
Going from Mianyuan County to Zhoucheng will not pass through the capital of Luocheng, so Qin Shaoyou can only wait until he returns from Zhoucheng, then go home to tell his parents the good news of his promotion, and compare his cultivation with his third brother-in-law to see who is better now.
sharp.
Let’s teach Xue Xiaobao a lesson again, who doesn’t know the heights of the world and wants to travel all over the world.
Qin Shaoyou and the others ran all the way and soon left Mianyuan County.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and they were outside the confines of Luocheng again.
The journey these two days went quite smoothly, and I didn't encounter any monsters. I occasionally met a few groups of refugees. Seeing that there were many of them and they had weapons with them, I didn't dare to approach them and ran away from a distance.
"Recently, the number of refugees seems to be more than before..."
The increasingly burly horse monk was riding the largest and strongest horse in the Mianyuan County Town Yaosi. From a distance, it looked like a moving hill.
Looking at the refugees fleeing into the mountains and forests in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh, flipped the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and recited Amitabha.
Zhu Xiucai, who was in charge of the intelligence work, knew far more information than his old comrades. He whispered: "The barbarians in Qingtang have been killed. They have broken down several military villages and towns. The people there were either kidnapped and used as slaves.
, or become displaced and become refugees.”
Monk Ma frowned and said, "Didn't Marquis Dongchuan lead his troops to Qingtang? Why didn't the barbarians stop them?"
Zhu Xiucai looked around and lowered his voice and said: "I heard a piece of gossip... First of all, I don't know whether it is true or not. Just take it as a story... It is said that the barbarians in Qingtang did not want to invade.
What I mean is that Marquis Dongchuan forced them to take action."
Zhu Xiucai once reported this matter to Qin Shaoyou. Qin Shaoyou also speculated whether it might be related to the inspection censor Liu Shuyuan, but there were too few clues to be sure.
After hearing this, Monk Ma felt incredible: "Why did Marquis Dongchuan do what he did?"
"Who knows, maybe it's to support the bandits' self-respect, or maybe there's some other intention... In short, it's a hardship for the people. In our Mianyuan County, Anzhi County has implemented a series of measures to resettle the refugees, and the situation is slightly better.
But the attitude of the local officials here towards the refugees seems to be to expel rather than resettle them.”
Having said this, Zhu Xiucai sighed, then shook his head and sneered.
"The emperor is obsessed with refining elixirs and cultivating immortals, the princes in the court are busy with party disputes, and those stupid and mediocre officials in the local areas are either just looking to make money, or they are letting demons and ghosts run rampant, and evil cults are everywhere... Now another war has broken out, and again
Coupled with the continuous natural disasters that have occurred in the past few years, I think the world..."
Qin Shaoyou on the side couldn't listen anymore, glanced at Zhu Xiucai sideways, and yelled: "Shut up, don't you understand the principle that disaster comes from your mouth?"
Although everyone in the team is his own people, and although Zhu Xiucai said these words in a low voice, these are treasonous remarks after all. Once spread, they will be used by people with ulterior motives, let alone official hats, even Zhu Xiucai's words
I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life.
Zhu Xiucai shrank his neck, accepted the order with his hands, and did not dare to say any more.
It's getting dark.
Everyone stopped rushing too much and planned to go to the county town ahead to stay one night before continuing their journey tomorrow.
But after they entered the county town and walked a short distance, they realized that this place was quite strange.
