Yan was silent for a long time, longing for the firelight.
'It seems from the current situation that what Ding Shichang was talking about just now was not Gu An.'
After filtering his thoughts, Yanyu let out a breath of turbid air.
Need to change strategy...
Stand up.
"Here comes someone."
Soon a confidant came to his side: "Elder."
"Go ahead and tell me that starting from tomorrow, the plan for the Suppression of Evil Division will be changed to harassment, and the focus will be on Xunyang County, leaving Dongling County alone."
"yes."
The confidant responded, turned around, and left to inform the various units.
Looking at the back of his cronies leaving, Yanyu murmured: "My mission is just to delay the Suppression of Evil Division. As for the length of time, it is no longer up to me to decide."
…
The next morning, we went to Hushang Town.
Ding Shichang got up early and went to a location twenty miles outside Hushang Town, preparing to welcome the arrival of Yan Libin and others.
The main reason is that it is unclear where the Wu Li Sect's people are. If they attack Yan Libin and others on the way, all the efforts made in yesterday's battle will be in vain.
Soon, a long motorcade appeared in Ding Shichang's sight.
When he saw the leader, he was slightly surprised.
He rode forward quickly.
After the two parties greeted each other, they met and headed towards Hushang Town.
On the way.
Ding Shichang looked at a middle-aged man next to Yan Libin and said with a smile: "Old Ji, why are you back?"
Ji Qin, deputy director of the Hundred Household Office of Dongling County Town Evil Division, said with a smile: "Everyone here has been beaten like this. If I don't come back, why don't you cancel my deputy office?"
"Haha, don't tell me. A few days ago, I really planned to remove you. But, considering the contribution you have made to our hundreds of households in the past, forget it."
Ji Qin smiled when he heard this: "You are talking about Gu An, right?"
"Oh, Li Bin told you, right?"
"No, I heard about it when I was on a mission in Yunzhou."
"Has Gu An's name spread to Yunzhou?" Ding Shichang frowned slightly.
"Absolutely, but; people over there were skeptical about Gu An having such strength at only sixteen years old, and so was I at first.
On the way here, Libin told me some things about Gu An, which made me more curious about him."
"Haha, you can see him soon. If you have any questions, you can ask him in person."
After a while, Ding Shichang took Ji Qin, Yan Libin and others back to Hushang Town.
Because time was tight, the bridge construction team was allowed to rest for half an hour.
So he began to discuss with the chief craftsman Wang Yin brought over on the bank of the river how to build a bridge that could allow tens of thousands of people to pass.
According to the current situation, the only option is to build a pontoon bridge and then use array patterns to reinforce it.
After half an hour of discussion, the plan and location were determined, and Wang Yin took the chief engineer of Xunyang County back to the other side and began to prepare for the construction on both sides.
Ding Shichang also arranged a team to launch the water in batches to stabilize the bridge body for them while the craftsmen were building it, so as not to be washed away by the rapid river water.
On the edge of the river.
Gu An looked at the rushing river, released his mental power to sense the situation in the surrounding river, and after confirming that there was no ambush from the Wuli Cult in the river, he withdrew his mental power.
Ji Qin came to Gu An and didn't say anything, just looked at Gu An carefully.
Gu An asked: "Ji Baihu is looking at his subordinates like this, but he has something important to give instructions."
After Ding Shichang came back just now, he introduced Ji Qin to Gu An.
When Gu An heard this name, he immediately thought of Ji Kun who was killed by him, and Ji Hong who probably wanted to cut him into pieces.
Seeing Gu An's stunned expression at that time, Ding Shichang explained that Ji Qin and Ji Hong were not related, they just had the same surname.
Although Gu An was relaxed on the surface, secretly he was still a little more excited.
After all, Chen Jincai, who had stayed in Dongling County for more than ten years, was a member of the Wu Li Sect. This Ji Qin might also be a member of the Blood God Sect.
Ji Qin retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "What's the important thing for me? I'm just a little curious about you."
After letting out a breath, Ji Qin continued: "I took over the mission at the junction of Youzhou and Yunzhou before, but I didn't know that the thief actually escaped to Yunzhou, so I was forced to chase him all the way to Yunzhou.
I just came back a few days ago. When I was in Yunzhou, I heard your story being spread over there.
At the age of sixteen, he won the championship in the Youzhou Young Warriors Conference and received a pass to practice in the military department.
In the next two days, he directly killed Chen Jincai of the Wu Li Sect, he is indeed a young genius."
Gu An cupped his hands and said, "Ji Baihu has been rewarded. What my subordinates did was just what they should do."
"Okay, that's what you need to do, you are my favorite."
Ji Qin smiled and said: "I heard that you have a special physique. According to the current situation, your special physique should be related to physical strength.
It’s also called body training.”
Gu An nodded.
Everyone saw this from his fighting process, so there was nothing to hide.
"That's fine. Let me ask you, after things are settled here, are you interested in taking your physical strength to a higher level?" Ji Qin asked with a smile.
Gu An paused for a moment: "Does Ji Baihu have any tips on body training?"
Ji Qin shook his head and said: "I don't have it, but I know where it is.
Didn't I just say that I pursued the thief to Yunzhou? While there, I had dealings with people from the Hundred Household Office of the Evil Division in Yannan County, Yunzhou.
I learned from them that the secret realm of Yannan Sect is about to be opened again."
Gu An has naturally heard of the name Yannan Sect.
Because they were the leaders of Yunzhou when the Three States rebelled more than 20 years ago.
As far as Gu An knows, it is mentioned in the book that Yannan Sect's major is the physical body.
After the imperial army destroyed them, all the skills were collected into the treasury.
Gu An frowned slightly: "Hasn't Yannan Sect been destroyed by the imperial court and everything has been evacuated? Is there anything else in their secret territory?"
Ji Qin smiled: "It's true that they were evacuated, but there are some things that cannot be moved away.
There is a bathing pool in Yannan Sect that is dedicated to tempering the body. It cannot be moved. The imperial army once wanted to destroy it.
But news came from the capital, and Commander Yi named it and kept it.
It opens once every three years and sets a test. As long as you can pass this test, you can enter it and temper your body.
This matter is only known to those in our two states, one county and one hundred households or the military mansion.
But you just joined the Evil Suppression Department not long ago, so you don’t know."
‘Commander Yi, I heard Mr. Yang say before that he is also a strong man who cultivates his physical body. After all, he can also have formation patterns imprinted on his body. This physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.
