Wang Wu did not change his place to live. After feeding Wu Lian a few grain pills and giving her some Yinji Qi, he went downstairs to discuss compensation with the boss and had a meal on the way.
The grain pills are neither delicious nor unpleasant. But he definitely wouldn't choose to eat it unless he needed it.
The innkeeper was a nice person. Although there was such a big commotion outside, he still received Wang Wu warmly. He didn't even intend to ask Wang Wu for compensation. In the end, Wang Wu forced the other party to reluctantly accept it.
"The young hero must repay his kindness. With such a character, the villain is really impressed with his admiration."
This is what the shop owner said to Wang Wu, and he also gave Wang Wu free of charge for meals. This was what he strongly requested, and Wang Wu did not refuse the other party's kindness in the end.
It seems that good people are indeed rewarded.
After eating a meal, Wang Wu was also quite emotional.
But this is normal. After all, in a society where everyone is extremely self-interested and only cares about interests and not feelings when doing things, it is an extremely social society...
To be honest, Wang Wu has always found it difficult to maintain such a society.
If there is only self-interest and no altruism, then it is hard to say whether human society can develop civilization. After all, even wild animals have mutually beneficial behaviors.
Helping others is often a self-interested behavior in nature. After all, mutual benefit and various symbiotic relationships have well illustrated this point.
Characters such as loyalty and repaying kindness are obviously popular in this world. As the monster who saved the life of Wang Wu, a 'real warrior', Wu Lian, coupled with her tragic life experience, did not make these humans feel disgusted with her. Many humans even felt that she was quite pitiful.
Although Wang Wu thinks that this may be mainly because the other party is so beautiful and tigers can eat people, but in his hometown, there are a lot of people who like tigers and want to suck tigers, isn't it just because tigers are so good-looking?
Wu Lian's injuries were almost fully recovered the next day, and she could already get out of bed and walk. When her body regained its ability to move, the first thing she did was to kneel in front of Wang Wu, kowtow and said:
"Young Master Wang, if you don't dislike me, once this matter is over, I am willing to be branded by you, and from now on I will always serve you."
"Damn it, are you addicted to being a slave? I saved your relationship in vain??" Wang Wu almost kicked the other party when he heard this, then he walked up to the other party and pulled Wu Lian from the ground. Get up and say angrily:
"I don't need you to be my slave, I don't need a slave, and you don't need to be a slave to serve anyone."
After saying that, looking at Wu Lian, Wang Wu asked: "Besides, don't you still have a husband?"
"Young hero once said that human beings and monsters have different paths. If this continues for a long time, it will only bring misfortune to them." Wu Lian looked gloomy, "And I have no way to really give him a child, so..."
< br>
Wu Lian lowered her head and whispered:
"It's better to have a short pain."
"Whatever you want." Wang Wu scratched his butt, this kind of family matter was not what he needed to care about.
But there is nothing wrong with this approach. Sun Da's family is just ordinary people. Living with Wu Lian, a monster who has entered the real realm, there is indeed a high probability of encountering misfortune.
The next morning, after handling Wu Lian's request for repayment, Wang Wu called Mouse Lady and the others to confirm the situation at home.
The female monsters obviously knew not to go out, and the situation at home was also very good, without any accidents.
It's definitely a bit lonely without Wang Wu around, but now that I have the skills to practice, it's not that lonely anymore. There are a lot of ways to pass the time.
We came to the human city again. Even though it was winter, it was quite lively here. So, Wang Wu, who happened to have an appointment, took Wu Lian out, mainly to buy some things.
When Wang Wu left the house at 8:30 in the morning, it was still dark, but the city was already brightly lit and there were people everywhere on the road. He walked around the county town and bought a lot of things.
Wu Lian was very familiar with this place because she was often sent here to do things, and she recently took on the task of seducing the young master of the Lin family.
This young master of the Lin family is also a lover, there is a story to tell. If he is still willing to take over after this matter is settled, then it would not be a bad idea for Wu Lian to follow him.
Of course, it mainly depends on Wu Lian's own choice. As for what she would choose, that is not Wang Wu's concern.
I spent the whole morning shopping in Hexi County and purchased a lot of things, including some food, some furniture, and some items that women like.
In fact, Wang Wu didn't know whether women liked those items, but he thought they might like them and bought them.
Of course, there are also books, all kinds of books. This is indispensable. He needs knowledge now, all kinds of knowledge.
Time soon came to noon, and the sun finally came, but the lights on the streets were still there because the sun did not stay in the sky for too long.
Arriving at Tianqi Tower, this is the place where Situ Jin invited Wang Wu to have dinner today.
As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful woman in a brocade robe walked up and bowed respectfully to Wang Wu.
"Young Master Wang, General Situ has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
He took Wang Wu to a private room on the second floor. The private room faced the street. Sitting in it, he could see the bustling street with people coming and going below.
"Young Master Wang." Situ Jin, who was sitting in the box, saw Wang Wu at the door and greeted him with a smile.
"Please sit down." She pointed to the seat opposite her.
"General Situ." Wang Wu cupped his hands and sat across from Situ Jin.
Wu Lian stood in the box, her head lowered and silent, looking like a standard maid.
Soon, tea was served, as well as some pre-dinner desserts.
"I wonder where Brother Wang comes from?" Situ Jin picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks and ate it into his mouth, and asked.
"Jitian Vajra Gate." Wang Wu replied.
"Oh?" Situ Jin was a little surprised, "This doesn't seem to be a sect in our Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"Indeed." Wang Wu nodded, "Jitian Vajra Gate is located in the far west, but..."
If you slightly abridge and retell the information about the Jitian Vajra Sect that you read on the official website, you will find a sect that perfectly fits the style of this world.
"It seems that Brother Wang's sect is the largest sect in the Western Wei Dynasty?" Situ Jin asked slowly after listening to Wang Wu's introduction while drinking tea and dessert.
This woman really likes sweets. She eats desserts before meals and her tea is extremely sweet.
"No, our Jitian Vajra Sect does not belong to any country." Wang Wu shook his head. There is nothing wrong with this. Yunguang City is not a country, but a city.
Situ Jin raised his eyebrows but said nothing more.
For a moment, the box fell into silence.
Wang Wu is not a sociable person, and although Situ Jin across from him took the initiative to come to him for dinner, it seemed that he did not intend to say anything more to him.
Soon, food and drinks were served. But the two of them ate in silence for almost ten minutes.
Wang Wu thought that the other party just wanted to have a meal with him when he called him here, but at this time, Situ Jin said:
"I wonder if Brother Wang is interested in joining our Demon Suppression Division?"
"Huh? Huh?" Wang Wu was stunned.
Before Wang Wu could respond, Situ Jin continued: "Since Brother Wang is a descendant of the deceased sect, he will not be bound by his country. In this case, why not consider serving in our Great Zhou Demon Division?"
"Why?" Wang Wu didn't understand why this woman suddenly invited him, a foreigner, to join the Laoshizi Demon Suppression Division.
Precisely because he knew the concept of the ‘departed sect’ from Zhao Xingyue, Wang Wu was able to tell others about the official website introduction of the Jitian Vajra Sect by just deleting some of it.
Anyway, most of the deceased sects are very hidden, and it is unlikely that ordinary people can find them if they don't have connections.
Not even a country, because those places are often not necessarily hidden in the present world, so where can you find them?
And these departed sects are often inextricably related to the former overlords of this land.
Of course, these existing countries are actually similar, and even have deeper connections. After all, they were directly feudal states of the great merchants in the past.
"I think Brother Wang is a very good person." Situ Jin shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Wang Wudao with a smile, "A favor with a meal must be repaid, let alone a favor with a life?"
"These words really touched my heart."
"Well, thank you General Situ for your kindness." Faced with this woman's remarks, Wang Wu didn't know how to answer, so he could only cup his hands and respond to her praise of him with this snake oil-like gesture.
The main reason is that he thinks this woman is a bit strange, and he doesn't know why.
"Haha, just a joke, just a joke." Seeing Wang Wu's somewhat embarrassed response, Situ Jin laughed. General Situ seems to prefer men's clothing. Although he is not wearing the same armor as last night today, he is still dressed like a young man.
Plus, with such a face, he must be a girl killer.
Wang Wu and this one don't have the same looks. He has a more masculine look. Anyway, you will definitely not mistake his gender at first glance. Of course, except in some countries back home.
"I'm looking for Brother Wang today. In addition to wanting to get to know Brother Wang, there are indeed some things I want to do." Situ Jin shook the cup in his hand and said, "Of course, but that matter can be put aside for a while. Why not solve it first?" The problem with the fox demon next to Brother Wang? After all, this is considered the official business of our Demon Suppression Company.”
Wang Wu turned back and looked at Wu Lian. He almost forgot that this woman was a vixen because she only said it once.
"Of course." Wang Wu nodded, "I wonder what the general wants to know?"
After finishing the meal, Situ Jin had a rough understanding of Wu Lian's specific situation. This incident obviously aroused Situ Jin's interest, so the two demons followed her to the garrison camp in Hexi County.
The Zhou Dynasty implemented two military systems. One was the professional soldier system inherited from the great merchants of the previous dynasty, that is, the recruitment system. The other is the government army system that was popular during the Tang Dynasty in Wang Wu's hometown.
The former is a professional army directly controlled by the central government of the dynasty. Its equipment and salary are directly provided by the court, and it has excellent training and equipment levels.
The latter are each state's own 'local soldiers', a combination of farmers and soldiers, and their equipment and training depend on the local financial level.
The Zhou Dynasty in this world is obviously different from the ancient Zhou Dynasty in Wang Wu's hometown, and the difference is not small. Perhaps the most similar thing between the two is that they both share the name "Da Zhou".
This was Wang Wu's first time entering the military center of human civilization in this world. As soon as he stepped into the military camp, Wang Wu could feel an aura that made him extremely uncomfortable.
The impact of this aura on Wu Lian behind him was even more obvious. As soon as the two monsters entered the door, Wang Wu heard Wu Lian behind him let out a painful cry.
"Ah, why did Wu Lian come here?" At this time, Situ Jin, who was walking in front, also turned around and looked at Wu Lian. In addition to the look of surprise on her face, there was also a bit of surprise.
Situ Jin walked up to Wu Lian, looked Wu Lian up and down, and sighed: "You can actually carry it, no wonder you can arrogantly enter our human town. The magical powers of these monsters are really weird."
After saying that, Situ Jin conjured a porcelain bottle in his hand and handed it to Wang Wu next to him: "Give it to her to eat. It will make her feel better."
Wang Wu nodded, took the porcelain bottle and handed it to Wu Lian. After taking the pills in the porcelain bottle, the painful expression on Wu Lian's face quickly calmed down. "Let's go." Seeing that Wu Lian was in stable condition, Situ Jin waved.
One person and two demons continued to advance, and finally came to the large tent of the Hexi County garrison camp.
"Colonel Situ!! Colonel Situ!!"
As soon as he entered the door, a man wearing a general's armor came up to Situ Jin with an attentive look on his face. He nodded and bowed to Situ Jin.
He was about to say something to the other party, but he happened to see Wang Wu and Wu Lian from the corner of his eye, so his movements suddenly froze.
"We'll talk about it later." Situ Jin made a gesture, and the latter immediately left the tent.
Situ Jin didn't come to Wang Wu and others to discuss anything with them. In fact, he just wanted to go through a formality, mainly for Wu Lian.
The Zhou Dynasty was able to accept monsters living normally in its society as non-slaves, although for ordinary monsters who had no way out, this would take a long time.
You have to contribute to the empire before the empire will accept you. Very simple reason.
"You entered our human town to repay your kindness, but you were enslaved and became a tool of others. From then on, you were controlled by others and you couldn't help yourself."
Situ Jin sat on the official chair in the tent, lying lazily in a posture, looking at Wu Lian who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and said: "Although it is indeed excusable and quite pitiful, in the end it is still a crime. Kill too many evildoers.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Even if there are extenuating circumstances, you should have worked for a hundred years before you could regain your freedom. And if you join my Great Zhou and become a subject of my Great Zhou, you will have to serve my Great Zhou for another hundred years."
"However, for Brother Wang's sake, I can make the decision and save you from the pain of hard labor."
After saying that, a jade slip was thrown in front of Wu Lian.
"Your deeds have been recorded in the register. With this jade slip, you can prove your innocence. If you want to join our Great Zhou Dynasty, you should first come to our Demon Suppression Department and serve for a hundred years."
Situ Jin said.
"Little demon thanks you, sir."
Wu Lian knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Situ Jin in front of her.
"Okay." Situ Jin stood up, "Follow me and head to Hedong County to settle this matter."
"Yes..."
…………
Wang Wu always felt that something was wrong, even though this woman had always shown him a very positive image from the time they met until now:
Integrity, but know how to be flexible. Kind and likes to make a little joke. He had a very open-minded attitude towards the demon clan, expressing sympathy for Wu Lian's tragic experience, and also expressing indignation at Ximen Pei's actions.
But Wang Wu just felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't tell what was wrong with it, but...why did he always feel that the image presented by this woman had a bit of a strange smell?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Regardless of whether it smells strange or not, let’s settle this matter first.
The sun had already set at this time, and the world outside was pitch black, but the demon-suppressing army didn't seem to be afraid of the night.
After selecting twelve of his elite cavalry, Situ Jin took Wang Wu and Wu Lian out of the city, and their destination was Hedong County.
The horses under these demon-suppressing armies are extremely fast. Even if they are wearing heavy armor, they can still run at a speed of nearly 180 kilometers per hour.
This has far exceeded the top speed of Wang Wu's hometown cheetah, and is almost close to the top speed of the swordfish in the ocean.
But this is not surprising, after all, these war horses are monsters.
Hedong and Hexi County are only a hundred kilometers apart. For such a war horse, it is only about half an hour's journey.
Soon, the group arrived in Hedong County without revealing their identities. The soldiers guarding the city gate notified the soldiers guarding the gate below after seeing the feathers on the top of the demon-suppressing army's helmets.
With the sound of gears twisting, the city gate slowly opened. With the escaping light and noisy voices, a colorful world appeared in front of everyone's eyes instead of the previous darkness.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The demon-suppressing army is coming!!!! Get out of the way!!!"
The soldiers shouted and loudly drove away the pedestrians on the road. Soon, a wide avenue was cleared.
The horse's hooves hit the ground, making a thunderous sound. A column of cavalry filed in, and the city gate slowly closed, no longer radiating light.
‘Boom——’
There was a muffled sound, and the city fell into dead silence again.
Hedong County, Ximen Mansion.
"Silkworm Girl, Silkworm Girl!! I, I... I'll be quick...!!!"
"Lord Ximen."
Just when Ximenpei was on the verge of erupting, a voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the blazing flames.
Ximenpei stopped suddenly and looked outside the bedroom door with red eyes.
"The demon-suppressing army is here, sir."
The anger on his face disappeared in an instant. Ximen Pei dropped the sword he picked up, walked quickly to the door, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why are they here? For what reason??"
"I don't know, but they asked you to come over by name. The two real people in the clan are also ready, so it's just you." The voice from outside the door continued.
After hearing what the outsider said, the expression on Ximenpei's face changed. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"Got it."

Hedong County County Government.
In an open space, Ximenpei, two real men from his tribe, and the county magistrate were kneeling on the ground. In front of them was Situ Jin, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
Wang Wu stood next to Situ Jin, holding a knife in his hand, looking like her bodyguard. Sun Fei's roar could be heard in the distance. Wang Wu just listened for a while and stopped paying attention.
After all, it's really hard to accept that your wife is a monster, but now you have to accept it.
Sun Da didn't have any objections to this matter. After learning about Wu Lian, he felt very sorry for Wu Lian.
In the past, he was able to save Wu Lian, a monster he had never met before and who might even be dangerous to him. Now I can naturally accept my 'sister-in-law' Wu Lian who came to the county town to repay her kindness, but ended up being enslaved.
Moreover, even though she was enslaved, Wu Lian never forgot to repay her kindness.
And after Wu Lian married into the Sun family, the Sun family's life was indeed getting better and better. Sun Da once told his wife Ruoniang more than once that he thought Wu Lian was a good wife, and it was great that his brother could marry such a wife...
That's all, that's all.
But Fei is different from his brother. He hates monsters extremely because one of his former brothers died in the mouth of a monster. He once vowed to avenge his brother, but he suffered from the fact that he was just an ordinary warrior, and there was no hope of revenge after all.
Now that his beloved wife has turned into a monster, one can imagine the blow he received.
"Xi Menpei?"
Returning to the open space, after drinking tea for a while, Situ Jin put down the tea cup, looked at Ximen Pei who was kneeling in front, and said.
"The official is here."
Although he was kneeling, Ximenpei's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Drag him down and kill him." Seeing Ximen Pei's attitude, Situ Jin immediately lost interest and ordered with a wave of his hand.
Immediately, two demon-suppressing troops stepped forward to grab Ximen Pei and drag him down. Ximenpei immediately panicked when he was treated like this, and he hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Big, my lord! My lord!!!"
"Haha..."
At this time, seeing the horrified expression on Ximen Pei's face, Situ Jin also laughed.
Her smile made Wang Wu couldn't help but look at her a few more times. It wasn't because she was beautiful or attracted, but because he felt that she at this time was probably what this woman really looked like.
Sure enough, after laughing for a while, Situ Jin picked up the tea cup on the table in front of him again, swaying it, staring straight at Ximen Pei, and asked:
"Those monks who entered the Dead Soul Mountain, where did they go after they came out?"
After saying this, Wang Wu immediately understood.
Of course she came here not just to help Wang Wu, a person she had known for less than a day, solve his problem. In other words, whether Wang Wu showed up or not, it would not affect her coming to Hedong County to arrest this man. Simonpe interrogated.
Of course, she did solve Wu Lian's problem, but this was obviously not the main goal for her.
To use an analogy, a side mission is triggered during the main mission, and it happens to be solved easily, so it will be solved naturally. It costs nothing to gain favor, so why not?
Of course, no matter what the other party's intentions were, she did help Wang Wu. After all, it would be really troublesome if Wang Wu had to handle this matter by himself.
Therefore, Wang Wu didn't care about this matter and was still grateful to her.
It’s just...
Hearing the 'those monks' mentioned by Situ Jin, Wang Wu couldn't help but think of Zhao Xingyue and the others. But judging from what is said later, this is obviously not that group of people.
Looking at Ximen Pei's frightened and confused expression on the ground, Situ Jin narrowed her eyes, and a strong sense of pressure pressed on Ximen Pei along with her words:
"The group of Luo family monks who entered the Dead Soul Mountain half a year ago."
After hearing this, Wang Wu now knew who it was.
They were the ones who robbed Yuan's tomb before Zhao Xingyue and the others.
