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.
There must be evil spirits rampant in Jin City.
To others, Yaoxie is a great threat, but to Shen Changqing, Yaoxie is the greatest tonic.
Go back to suppress the Demon Division.
Just accept new tasks and then go to other places to hunt evil spirits.
Staying in Jincheng is also about hunting evil spirits.
The difference is.
If you do not accept the mission, there will be no merit reward.
But if Zhongchi reported the situation, then he would be stationed in Jincheng. Shen Changqing believed that the Demon Suppression Division would also give him a certain amount of compensation.
The compensation from the Demon Suppressor will definitely not be bad.
Even if he is given a few bottles of Tongmai Dan, he can get a lot of silver by selling them.
Every time you upgrade now, you will consume a lot of elixirs. If you go forward, the consumption will definitely be even greater.
The little money I have on my body.
It is not that difficult to sustain it.
Suddenly.
Shen Changqing's ears twitched, he stood up and opened the window, just in time to see a large number of Black Tiger troops emerging from the street below.
An invisible chilling atmosphere filled the air.
Every commoner has a solemn look on his or her face.
Some people looked even more panicked.
Faintly, Shen Changqing heard words about barbarians from the words of the people talking.
Obvious.
The news that the barbarians were going to attack Jincheng had spread like wildfire.
Closing the window again, Shen Changqing sighed.
“What a troubled time!”
Not long after arriving at the Demon Suppression Division, evil spirits were raging all over the Qin Dynasty, causing heavy losses to the Demon Suppression Division everywhere.
As a result, the situation has not calmed down much, and now chaos has arisen in Dahuang Mansion.
Shen Changqing felt it for the first time.
How difficult it is to achieve a calm and stable situation in troubled times.
Leave from the first floor of the sky.
As he walked on the street, he clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the people around him.
Different from the fear of evil spirits, although some people also showed panic at the news of the barbarian attack, more people showed an indignant look.
For the barbarians.
Seems to be more resentment than fear.
Shen Changqing could even hear the angry words of some people.
“Those barbarians who killed a thousand people are here again. I really hope the imperial court can send its army south and kill all those barbarians!”
“Who says otherwise? The barbarians break into our wilderness every year, burn, kill, and plunder. They should have died long ago.”
The people of Jincheng hated the barbarians from the bottom of their hearts.
but.
Some people also look worried.
“I heard that Ningshan City and several other cities have been captured by barbarians. This time the barbarian army invaded Dahuang Mansion, it is completely different from the past. I wonder if the imperial court can resist it.
If we cannot resist it, we in Jincheng will be in danger."
"fart"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone yelled angrily.
“During the more than three hundred years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there has never been a time when the barbarians were beaten and scurrying away. Every time the barbarians invaded Dahuang Mansion, they came with the determination to die. Although they looted a lot of materials, they left even more corpses behind.
If cities such as Ningshan were destroyed, it would only mean that the barbarians were coming in force.
With all the background of the imperial court, how can it be afraid of mere barbarians?"
"good!"
“If the barbarians come, they will definitely die without a burial place”
Listen to the conversation of the people.
Shen Changqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He thought that the news of the barbarian attack would make the people fearful, but he did not expect that the folk customs in Jincheng were also fierce. There was not much fear of the barbarians at all, but they had strong morale.
Peeping the leopard through the tube.
If Jincheng is like this, other cities in Dahuang Prefecture will definitely not be any worse.
“It seems that the barbarian raids in the past made the people of Dahuang Prefecture very dissatisfied. In addition, the barbarians who invaded Dahuang Prefecture suffered heavy losses in the past, which made the people of Dahuang Prefecture full of confidence in the imperial court.
In this case, it can be considered a good thing.”
Shen Changqing thought to himself.
Whether you win the fight or not, at least your momentum is not weaker than others, which can add a lot of advantages out of thin air.
Thinking in my heart.
Unknowingly, he had reached the door of the Yamen.
A weak evil breath appears in the perception.
As far as Shen Changqing could see, he could see blood stains on the ground that had not been cleaned up.
