Hearing this, Qin Shaoyou also understood the reason for the tense atmosphere in the Mianyuan County Town Demon Division.
If there are indeed several fifth- and sixth-grade masters in that team of Qingtang spies, their strength will be much stronger than those left behind in the Demon Division of Mianyuan County. It’s no wonder they are not nervous.
Zhu Xiucai thought so too, so he couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever thought about asking for support from Luocheng or even Yizhou Town Demon Division?"
"Of course I've thought about it."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed, feeling quite helpless.
"It's just that now in Yizhou, because of the Black Lotus Sect's troubles, there have been chaos in many places. Both the Luocheng Town Demon Division and the Yizhou Town Demon Division's mobile strength seems to be stretched thin. And the strength of the team of Qingtang spies, and
Most of them are our speculations. If they are not that strong, wouldn't they be abusing the insufficient support force? So after discussion, we decided to do further investigation first, and then found out the true identity of the Qingtang spies.
After determining the strength, we will decide whether to arrest them directly or ask for support based on their strength."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly.
This arrangement made by Ye Zhiqiu and others is considered safe.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Shaoyou said: "In that case, I will personally lead a team to Quannan Town to find out the background of the team of Qingtang spies. Brother Ye, you, Xiucai and Lao Cai, please point out some clever things.
Anyone who is smart and good at criminal investigation will go with me."
"yes!"
Ye Zhiqiu, Zhu Xiucai and Cai Guizhong all bowed their hands and accepted the order.
Qin Shaoyou then said: "Although we haven't figured out the strength of the Qingtang spies yet, we have to make preparations for a rainy day. Yizhou Town Demon Division needs to support the whole state, and the manpower is definitely not enough. And Luocheng Town
There are not many experts here in Yao Si, so don’t bother them... Monk, go and get my big bamboo basket."
Monk Ma responded, turned around and left the mission room. After a while, he returned with a large bamboo basket half as tall as a man.
Qin Shaoyou opened the lid of the bamboo basket, reached out and took out a big crab.
It was He Xie, the liaison officer sent by Baiqingjiang Shuibo.
When he first left Luocheng, He Crab rode on horseback with Qin Shaoyou, and he was very impressive for a while. After all, not many Crabs had ridden horses.
But not long after, He Crab developed symptoms of "horse sickness". Not only did he keep spitting bubbles as if he was about to die, but he almost fell off his horse several times.
It was only because Qin Shaoyou used his blood to catch it in time that it avoided being trampled to death by horse hoofs when it fell to the ground, and Qin Shaoyou and others did not have to eat a big bowl with tears in their eyes.
There was no other way, so Qin Shaoyou bought a big bamboo basket and let the river crab sleep in it to alleviate the symptoms of horse sickness.
At this moment, Shan Daonian, Zeng Cong, Tu Huang and others in the mission room were all shocked when they saw Qin Shaoyou suddenly taking out such a big crab.
They didn't know the river crabs, and they didn't know what Qin Shaoyou planned to do when he brought out the crabs.
It must be said that Shan Daonian's reaction was quick. He immediately walked out of the mission room and said as he walked: "Sir, I will let Qiu Rong go to the kitchen to light the fire. In addition to ginger, onion and vinegar, what else do you think we need?"
Why did you let Qiu Rong get angry? Are you preparing ginger and onion vinegar? Are you drooling all the time while talking?
After Qin Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, he realized that Shan Daonian had misunderstood what he meant. He hurriedly stopped him and introduced to everyone: "This is the river crab sent by Baiqingjiang Shuibo to help deliver messages."
Sandonian scratched his head: "I thought you brought out such a big crab to give us a meal to boost our morale and at the same time improve the effectiveness of the investigation..."
The spiritual dishes that Qin Shaoyou made before had all kinds of strange effects. It was not surprising that Shan Daonian had such a misunderstanding when he suddenly took out a big crab.
He Crab, who can understand human speech, was still a little dizzy at first, but after hearing the conversation between Shan Daonian and Qin Shaoyou, he suddenly woke up.
Damn it? What happened? I fainted and almost got steamed and eaten?
The angry river crab waved its pliers at Shan Daonian and blew bubbles.
Shan Daonian said with some surprise: "Why do I think this crab is scolding me? It can't understand human speech, can it?"
Qin Shaoyou glanced at him sympathetically: "I do understand."
"ah?"
Shan Daonian was so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from the ground with his toes.
He quickly apologized to the river crab, flattered him at the same time, and praised him for looking plump and delicious... ah, he looked like he was broad-minded at first glance.
Look at the crab shell, which is black and green and shiny, so it must be thick and strong; look at the belly button, which is protruding, and must be full of fat; and the claws, which are covered with hair, must be strong and strong...
This is not broad-minded, who is broad-minded?
Qin Shaoyou also helped to say a few words and finally appeased He Crab.
Then Qin Shaoyou wrote a letter, sealed it and gave it to He Xie to be delivered to Bai Qing Jiang Shui Bo.
He Xia carried the letter under his arm and walked out of the errand room. Under the surprised eyes of the night watchmen, he climbed to the well and jumped down, startling Qiu Rong who was helping everyone wash clothes by the well.
If Qin Shaoyou hadn't popped his head out of the mission room in time and introduced the river crab's identity, she would have grabbed the river crab and taken it to the kitchen to make a meal for Qin Shaoyou and others.
The river crab that jumped into the well was completely awake and felt that this place was scarier than the Yaosi in Luocheng Town. Everyone's first reaction when they saw it seemed to be related to eating.
This also made He Xie's little head confused for a while: How come the people in this place are more gluttonous and delicious than the people in Yaosi in Luocheng Town?
While waiting for Ye Zhiqiu, Zhu Xiucai and others to prepare for their trip, Qin Shaoyou was not idle and asked Zeng Cong about the making of Yuanyang Hotpot.
Senior Brother Zeng was still the same as before. When Qin Shaoyou asked about magic weapons, he sputtered a lot of professional terms, which made Qin Shaoyou's head throb with pain. He hurriedly saw an opportunity to stop.
"Senior Brother Zeng, please say something I can understand."
Zeng Cong sighed, looked at Qin Shaoyou with eyes that hated iron, shook his head, and said: "The production of the Yuanyang Pot went very smoothly, but it will take some time for the final shape."
"As long as it goes well." Qin Shaoyou was very happy.
Zeng Cong added: "In addition, the set of instrument-making methods you wrote gave me a lot of inspiration, allowing me to try out several of the magical instruments you mentioned before. This time you are going to Quannan.
Town, you can take some with you to test the actual combat effect."
After a pause, he asked curiously: "Where did you get this tool-making method?"
"Given by my ancestor."
Qin Shaoyou said this sentence very skillfully now.
"That's it." Zeng Cong nodded without any doubt.
Before long, Ye Zhiqiu, Zhu Xiucai and others were ready to set off.
Qin Shaoyou not only got a batch of new magical instruments from Zeng Cong's laboratory, but also got some new talismans from Tuhuang.
In addition, after some consideration, Qin Shaoyou also brought Qiu Shi with him.
Senior Brother Qiu's Gu may be of great use when exploring the enemy's background.
Just when Qin Shaoyou and the others were about to set off, Qiurong floated over with her drum on her shoulders, gesturing that she wanted to follow them.
"I also want to take you with me, but your drum is too big and easily exposed..."
Before Qin Shaoyou finished speaking, he saw that the big drum Qiurong was carrying quickly became smaller.
In the blink of an eye, the drum of injustice, which was originally larger than a human, shrank into a waist drum.
"Huh?"
Qin Shaoyou was stunned.
Zeng Cong on the side said: "I have made some improvements to Qiu Rong's drum and added some other effects. Let her follow me so that she can test the new improved drum."
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Shaoyou agreed to Qiurong's self-recommendation and asked her to follow Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu.
Immediately, Qin Shaoyou took the horse and led the team out of the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division.
In order not to cause a commotion, he also used magic ghost beads to create an illusion, so that people in the market outside the Yamen were unaware of it.
