Xie Hongdao's held breath suddenly relaxed. This kind of escape that he didn't even dare to think about gave him a real feeling of surviving after a disaster!
He immediately looked up and saw the fog dispersing, and a giant eagle was passing low, only a few meters away from his head.
But the giant eagle is not ownerless, there is actually a person standing on top of the giant eagle.
The sleeves are fluttering in the wind, with crow hair and snow-skinned skin. She is a beautiful girl with a graceful and fairy spirit. She does not look like an ordinary person, but more like a nine-day fairy descending to the mortal world!
"Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are luxuriant. They seem to be like the moon covered by light clouds, and fluttering like snow in the flowing wind."
Xie Hongdao was stunned with just one glance, and his heart was beating fast. While he was stunned, the girl's eyes were fixed on one place, as if giving an order to the giant eagle. He only heard another soft cry, and the giant eagle Immediately fly in one direction.
Xie Hongdao didn't want to chase her and take a look. He was still confident about his abilities. With his current strength, even if he chased her, he would only be holding her back.
He cannot deal with that level of "human" or "demon".
"But, who is this woman?"
This sense of amazement was deeply rooted in people's hearts, perhaps because of the moment of being saved. Although Xie Hongdao stayed where he was, he could not forget it for a long time.
"Are you okay?"
The next moment, Huidao's figure came out of the fog completely. At this time, most of the fog had dissipated. Huidao looked at Xie Hongdao standing without asking about the situation.
Huidao actually saw what happened just now, but there seemed to be a layer of things in front of him, preventing him from walking smoothly.
Although it is only a short period of time, if placed at a critical moment, this short period of time is enough to kill someone.
"This technique is scary and frightening, but now that I know it, I won't be so easily trapped next time."
Even thinking about it like this, the disparity in strength made Huidao feel heavy in his heart.
Although the lineage he inherited was not primarily about fighting, but was good at talismans and divination, Huidao still looked ugly at this moment.
"All the thieves have been killed." Shi Chengyan was leading the men from the Good Capture Battalion to clean up the mess and clean up the battlefield, when he strode over with several soldiers from the Good Capture Battalion.
His arrival broke the silence of the area, and the fog had basically dissipated. The monsters and corpses of the soldiers from the Good Capture Camp were lying on the ground, all in tragic shapes.
The smell of blood also became stronger as the mist dissipated. When blown by the wind, you could smell the disgusting fishy smell without deliberately breathing.
There were even small potholes formed by blood on the ground, making the whole place look terrifying.
"The casualties are considerable."
Xie Hongdao glanced around and saw that most of the monsters he had seen died here, and their bodies fell to the ground. Although his mood was still a little heavy, he felt a little more relaxed.
This area is not in front of the examiner's residence.
Although Xie Hongdao did come out of the examiner's residence, he went straight to the bullock cart and was attacked by monsters, and then fought in this area.
But the place that really attracted the large number of monsters was about half a mile away from the examiner's residence.
It's not that far away. Although there are some official residences nearby, they are all large houses with no ordinary people. They are all open areas. Setting up an ambush or fighting will not implicate innocent people.
However, when the fog dissipates, this area will inevitably be discovered by people around it, but that is a matter for the government.
"The demonic forces have been wiped out."
Xie Hongdao knows the inside story, and he can understand by looking at the situation. Although he cannot tell everything, most of the demon clan in the capital has been destroyed here. He is safe and has relative protection.
Looking at Shi Chengyan who came over, Shi Chengyan's expression was really not good. After all, although it was considered a victory this time, it was a miserable victory.
Almost all the monsters died, but the good capture camp also suffered a lot of losses, with more than a dozen people injured and almost everyone injured.
These dozen people are responsible for the pensions and other things, and there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
Moreover, the eagle cry that appeared just now and then exploded into four demons, Shi Chengyan also noticed it and realized that something was wrong.
However, he also did not ask Xie Hongdao what happened just now. He just said with a sad face and a sad expression: "We have counted the monsters that were killed and last-hit, and there were forty-one monsters that were executed on the spot."
"More than twenty people escaped."
"Fourteen of our troops were killed in the battle, and two others were seriously injured and cannot be saved."
"I see!"
Hui Dao heard that most of the monsters who chased Xie Hongdao were executed, but he knew that these ordinary monsters rarely slipped through the net, but one big fish escaped.
not to mention……
Something even more happened that made me feel a little nervous.
Huidao said with a sullen face: "Clean up the battlefield and then report to His Highness. Your Highness will definitely give you some compensation, so you don't have to worry."
After turning around, Huidao murmured to himself in a voice that no one else could hear: "Dragon?"
Taisun Mansion
After Su Ziji became the grandson, he moved his work from the study to the living room. The distance was not far, just follow the corridor and cross the courtyard.
"Oh? The breath of a dragon?" Su Ziji pondered thoughtfully after listening to Huidao's low-pitched report, feeling that this matter was really unexpected.
When he raised his eyes, Su Ziji had already concealed the surprise in his heart and asked again: "Have you ever seen his face clearly?"
"I was in the fog, and I only saw people, but I didn't see their faces clearly." Huidao said in an admonishing tone.
"Oh?" Su Ziji looked at Xie Hongdao.
Xie Hongdao actually saw it clearly, but he didn't know what he was thinking. However, he hesitated and said: "I was on the line between life and death at that time. I was so surprised that I didn't see it clearly."
"But judging from the situation, it seems that she is chasing this demon king."
"Oh?" Su Ziji didn't seem suspicious, but just frowned. This capital was really in deep water.
He then looked at the few people standing in front of him and said with a reassuring tone: "You have done a great job in killing the demon this time, so I will take the credit for you all."
Hearing this, Shi Chengyan and several other catchers who came to report the incident couldn't help but look happy.
This reaction is normal. Eating from the public family will inevitably lead to casualties, but as long as there are rewards, everyone can accept it.
Whether you survive and get promoted, or you die, you can still leave some pension to your family.
They were already mentally prepared when they had this bowl of rice.
Su Ziji saw their reaction in his eyes and added: "Those who have sacrificed will not be stingy with the compensation. In addition to the public reward from the court, I will also pay a share privately. In addition to the pension, each person will receive an additional thirty taels. If
If you are injured, then each person will receive an additional ten to twenty taels."
"For those who were killed or disabled in battle, please make a list. Whether your nephew or nephew takes over the job, or you can arrange a light job, you will have someone deal with the matter later."
Hearing this, Shi Chengyan and the other catchers not only looked happy, but also a little moved.
Although many people are doing this kind of thing, the kindness given by nobles is mostly superficial, unlike His Highness Taisun, who always shows a hint of pragmatism.
Yes, even if there is a pension, these twenty or thirty taels cannot be lived in the capital for a few years, but it is different if there is a replacement job or arrangements.
"I am humble enough to thank you for your great kindness!" Shi Chengyan and several of the catchers kowtowed heavily. After saying this, there was nothing more to say. They did not dare to waste time and immediately resigned.
Even Xie Hongdao said: "Most of the serious troubles in my heart have been eliminated, and I will do my best."
Watching them leave, Su Ziji sat there and suddenly smiled, thoughtfully.
"Hui Dao is generally correct, but Xie Hongdao has some small thoughts?"
This time, magical powers are becoming less and less effective for people above the seventh rank. Although Hui Dao and Xie Hongdao have no official titles, one is a real person and the other is an earl prince. Although they have reduced their titles, they still have some energy left, but they cannot feel deeply, but their superficial emotions
I can still feel something.
But who doesn't have some thoughts? Su Ziji turned to the left and right and said calmly: "You guys, come in."
