Chapter 81 Lianghe County

Lin Ji had no choice but to follow Lu Zhaoer out of the government office in confusion.

As soon as he came to the street, Lu Zhaoer asked: "Where are your weapons?"

"at home."

"Go take it with you."

"yes."

Lin Ji led the way obediently and took Lu Zhaoer to his mansion.

Just as he walked through the door, Lu Zhaoer paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lin Ji coldly.

"As a chief officer, how much monthly salary do you have, so that you can afford to live in a house like this?"

"This house was given to me by Master Zhan." Lin Ji responded casually.

While guiding Lu Zhaoer inside, Lin Ji couldn't help it anymore and said: "Lu Youxing, what if I bought this house myself? I am a monk in the realm of wisdom, and I can't live in a big house.

?”

"As long as the money comes from the right sources, everything will be fine." Lu Zhaoer said casually.

Lin Ji secretly shook his head, thinking that this official You Xing was too arrogant.

After arriving in the garden, Lin Ji went back to his room to get his long sword. As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw the unlucky monster being pulled by the bud on its head by Lu Zhaoer. His body was hanging in the air and trembling non-stop.

Lu Zhaoer looked at Lin Ji.

"You also raise a spirit? What's this little thing's name?"

"Alu." Lin Ji casually named him.

"Where did it come from?"

"The person who came to the door by himself may have noticed that I'm handsome and insisted on following me!" Lin Ji said nonsensically.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lu Zhaoer actually stared at Lin Ji a few times.

Lin Ji, whose scalp was numb from being stared at, was too lazy to explain, and asked bluntly: "What is Lu Youxing's important matter that requires me to bring weapons?"

Lu Zhaoer let go of Ah Lu's hair and let it run away into the soil.

"I came here because of matters in Lianghe County. Master Zhan has been missing for several days. The higher-ups are also paying attention to this matter and asked me to come down to investigate."

Hearing this, Lin Ji frowned.

"Lu Youxing is also in the fourth realm?"

"The pinnacle of the fourth realm."

"That's still the fourth realm." Lin Ji didn't know how many times he curled his lips and said helplessly, "If Master Zhanzhan's cultivation in the Sun Travel Realm can't handle things, what's the use of you coming here?"

"At least we have to find out what happened."

"Then why bother looking for me?" Lin Ji became increasingly puzzled.

Lu Zhaoer had no expression on his face, repeating what Lin Ji had said before, and said seriously: "Because Master Zhan can't solve things in the sixth realm, and I, the peak of the fourth realm, can't solve them either. If I go alone, I will inevitably encounter problems.

Danger."

"It won't be dangerous if I go?"

"Well..." Lu Zhaoer nodded and said calmly, "It is always better to have someone share the risk than to take the risk alone."

Lin Ji was speechless.

What's going on with this girl? She can talk about such nonsense so frankly.

"Then what if we are really in danger?"

"If you can solve it, solve it. If you can't solve it, run away."

"What if I'm in danger?"

"If you can save it, save it. If you can't save it..."

"Pull down?"

"I will put this on the table, your family will get the best care, and your child will have the best future."

"That's not a defeat!" Lin Ji was speechless.

Lu Zhaoer pursed the corners of his mouth in a rare move, revealing a hidden smile that could not be seen without looking closely.

"If I am in danger and you are unable to save me, it is your turn to do this."

Lin Ji let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go, Lianghe County is not close to Liangcheng."

"Aren't you going to shirk the blame?" Lu Zhaoer was a little surprised by Lin Ji's straightforwardness.

"I am the chief arrester of Liangzhou. If something happens to you, the trouble will eventually fall on me. What's the use of escaping for a while?"

"Yes, there is still some courage." Lu Zhaoer nodded.

The two of them left the city together and rushed towards Lianghe County.

Until evening, they could vaguely see the outline of Lianghe County.

In the Liang River in the distance, a bright moon swayed with the waves, and the gentle breeze blew over Lin Ji's face, bringing with it a hint of blood.

Lin Ji frowned slightly and looked at Lu Zhaoer.

Lu Zhaoer also looked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Can't you smell the blood?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.

The fourth level is wisdom, the five senses are strengthened, and spiritual consciousness is opened.

He can smell it, why can't Lu Zhaoer, the pinnacle of the fourth realm, smell it?

But Lu Zhaoer still shook his head.

"Can't smell it."

Lin Ji shook his head and did not delve into it further, just heading towards Lianghe County.

"Is it because of the Six Consciousness Returning Technique... Because I started this technique in the third level, so when I reached the fourth level, I thought everyone was like this."

With Lu Zhaoer as a comparison, Lin Jicai discovered that the Six Consciousness Returning Technique seemed to be a bit stronger than he imagined.

After a while, the two walked into Lianghe County side by side.

After entering the county town, Lin Ji's first feeling was silence.

It was obviously just dark, and there was no tradition of curfew in Da Qin.

Lianghe County is a county town not far from Liangcheng. It is connected in all directions and has convenient transportation. It is reasonable to say that the nightlife is a bit more lively than Qingyang County, but now, what catches the eye is elegiac couplets hanging on every household.

The night wind blew through the streets, picking up white paper money scattered around.

The common people did not even dare to light oil lamps.

"Go to the county government office." Lin Ji shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat unbearable.

He knew what happened in Lianghe County, but the number of people who died on paper was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.

"That monster slaughtered tens of thousands of people in the city!" Lu Zhaoer said through gritted teeth.

"Hey." Lin Ji responded with a sigh.

The two came to the county government office, which was the only place in the county where they dared to light up lamps.

If even the county government is afraid of provoking demons, then the people really have nothing to do.

The person responsible for keeping watch at the gate of the county government office is the only remaining demon hunter in Lianghe County.

As soon as Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer approached, the demon hunter held the handle of the knife with a vigilant expression.

"You are?"

"He's from Liangcheng." Lin Ji took out his golden sword.

"Master Chief, I have finally come to you!" Yaohua looked happy, but then he sighed, "Sir, you have also seen the situation in Lianghe County..."

Lin Ji nodded and searched with his spiritual sense, only to find that in the entire county government, only the demon hunter in front of him had any cultivation.

"Where are the other demon hunters in the county?"

"The head catcher was killed by the monster, and one of his brothers went to Liangcheng to deliver a message, but then he didn't come back, and the rest all escaped." The monster catcher said bitterly.

"Why don't you run away?" Lu Zhaoer asked from the side.

Lin Ji glanced at Lu Zhaoer and thought, how could you get into the position of a star official with your emotional intelligence?

The demon hunter said helplessly: "My parents, wife and children are all here. My old father is in his seventies, and the child below is just one month old. I can withstand the long journey, how can they withstand the bumps?"

Lin Ji took a step forward and patted the demon hunter on the shoulder.

"Hasn't Master Zhan already rushed to Lianghe County in person? We are also here for this matter. Have you seen Master Zhan?"

The demon hunter nodded quickly.

"Yes, Lord Zhan came that day, asked a few questions in the city, and then went south along the Liang River, but there was no news after that."

"Along the Liang River?"

"yes."

"Brother, hard work."

Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer looked at each other.

"Go now or wait until dawn?" Lin Ji asked.

"It won't be too late." Lu Zhaoer turned around and left.

Lin Ji could only follow helplessly.
