Hedong County Government.
The problem on Wu Lian's side has been solved. Sun Da and Sun Fei have returned home. She was temporarily placed in a room in the county government office, waiting for Wang Wu's problem to be solved.
The county government gave Sun Da and his family ten gold coins as compensation, and also promoted Sun Fei's position by one level.
Of course, they did not reveal the details of Wu Lian's identity, only that Wu Lian was actually a monster. But she married into the Sun family just to repay her kindness, and she didn't have any ill intentions towards them.
Sun Da himself didn't have any emotions about this matter, or maybe he did, but it was just a little embarrassing.
Because Wu Lian actually wanted to marry him at first, the matter was told to Sun Da, but Sun Da did not accept it out of his own good intentions, so he became his brother's wife.
This caused Ruoniang to be a bit dissatisfied with this, but Ruoniang's attitude towards Wu Lian had not changed at all, and she even wanted to persuade Wu Lian to stay in the Sun family.
But after seeing his brother-in-law's attitude towards this, he naturally didn't say those words.
Sun Da and Ruoniang's attitude towards Wu Lian is completely different from Sun Fei's attitude towards Wu Lian. After all, his sworn brother in the past died at the mouth of a monster, which led to his extreme disgust towards monsters.
Even though he and Wu Lian had a relationship for several years, he was still angry when Wu Lian revealed his true identity.
Therefore, under his strong request and the notarization of the county government, their engagement contract was naturally invalidated, and one person and one monster broke off their relationship.
As an older brother, Sun Da certainly wanted to give his younger brother some advice. After all, he really liked Wu Lian, his sister-in-law. But similarly, as an older brother, he also needs to consider his younger brother's personal wishes.
So Sun Da didn't say anything. After looking at Wu Lian for a while and sighing a few times, he left with his family.
Under the leadership of the yamen servant, Wang Wu quickly arrived at Wu Lian's room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Lian sitting on a stool in the room with a forlorn expression.
"Wang...Wang Shaoxia." Seeing Wang Wu appear, Wu Lian's eyes flashed with excitement, and she hurriedly stood up and called Wang Wu.
"You are free now. Have you thought about your future?" Wang Wu came to sit in front of her and asked.
"I..."
Upon hearing this question, Wu Lian lowered his head again and his eyes dimmed.
"Me too, I don't know either..."
She shook her head.
The restriction in Wu Lian's body was removed by Wang Wu, just after entering the city.
As for the owner, Ximenpei would naturally know about the disappearance of the brand, but at that time, he was ripped off the carriage by several demon-suppressing troops and could not react at all.
"Do you want to continue to be a monster or live in human society?" Wang Wu asked.
Wang Wu did not tell the other party that he was also a monster. If the conflict with Situ Jin in Hexi County could not be resolved peacefully, Wang Wu would choose to directly transform and run away with Wu Lian.
If things develop like that, then Wu Lian will know Wang Wu's identity. After that, Wang Wu will temporarily place her where he lives and send her to Zhao Xingyue next year.
As for now, if the other party has his own plans for the future, he will not interfere. If not, he will continue to place her in Hedong County for the time being, and then send her to Zhao Xingyue next year.
Zhao Xingyue also knew Wu Lian, and Wang Wu had told her about it. After hearing the story, she also expressed her willingness to help and that she would come to Hedong County next year, and the demon would cooperate to rescue Wu Lian.
Wang Wu thought the plan was perfect and was proud of his planning ability and peerless resourcefulness.
There is indeed nothing wrong with this plan. Zhao Xingyue comes from a top sect in Nanzhou, so it is natural that she can handle a wealthy family like Ximenpei in the county with ease.
Although the Ximen family also has some influence in the Nanzhou capital, this force is actually just the superior family to which the Ximen family relies.
But sometimes, plans never keep up with changes.
"If you don't want to stay in human society anymore, then you can go to Xumang Mountain." Seeing that the other party didn't answer for a long time, Wang Wu said:
"There is a demon city in Xumang Mountain in Yuanzhou, called Heiwu City, which is autonomous by the demon clan. It is said to be quite prosperous and has a good relationship with human towns. The two sides even have trade exchanges. You can go there Residence.”
Wang Wu of the Demon City that Erniang Centipede mentioned before got more detailed information from Zhao Xingyue. No wonder even Erniang Centipede has heard of that place. It is indeed a good place.
"Or, if you still want to live in human society." Wang Wudao: "You can go to a friend of mine, and she will help you make a living in human society."
"How?"
After giving two choices, Wang Wu looked at Wu Lian, waiting for her answer.
Wu Lian also raised her head and looked at Wang Wu at this time. There was some emotion in her eyes. Her mouth opened, but she did not make a sound immediately. After a while, she slowly said:
"I...I am willing to go to the young hero's friend, if, if it is not troublesome..."
"No trouble." Wang Wu said with a smile, "It's no trouble, but if you go to her place, you may still be regarded as a demon slave by others. But you don't have to worry about anything else, because she is a girl."< br>
"Thank you very much..." Wu Lian nodded lightly.
"Then you can temporarily live in Hedong County for the rest of this year." Wang Wudao.
"Let's change your appearance first. Although the people who drove you in Hedong County in the past may have been caught and killed by the demon-suppressing army, your face is really too eye-catching, so it's best to change it."< br>
"My friend will come to Hedong County next year. Just leave with her then."
"Well..."

Wu Lian's matter was settled in this way. Although there were some accidents and emergencies in the process, overall it was relatively smooth.
Thinking about it now, it was indeed a very wise decision to save Zhao Xingyue. This woman could be of great help to his activities in human society.
And she comes from Nanzhou Dazong, let alone mentioning it, her background is probably not simple.
Because Wang Wu could sense a temperament very similar to that of Situ Jin in her... Well, actually no, it was because Zhao Xingyue told him that someone in his family served in the Demon Suppression Army.
Since it is a job, it is obviously not a big-headed soldier. Moreover, even if it is a big-headed soldier, many of them are from nobles or famous families.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had a total of thirteen states, with a population of perhaps four to five billion. It was considered a very powerful country in the land of the old Shang Dynasty. Since the Yin Shang was destroyed by a demonic disaster, its land was naturally inherited by its former feudal states.
Wei, Chu, and Xia were the three countries bordering the Zhou Dynasty. Among them, Wei was once the most powerful country on the land after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, and inherited the most Shang Dynasty heritage.
But later the Wei State split into two parts, the Eastern and Western Wei, and then was attacked by the Chu people. It suffered a lot of decadence over the years, but it was still very powerful.
As for the Chu State, this country is quite special. Although it nominally submitted to the Shang Dynasty during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was actually very dishonest. It launched many rebellions and even broke into the capital of the Shang Dynasty.
In order to suppress the Chu people, the Yin people once built a huge military city, Panlong City, in the Chu region. It was an important military town in the southern region of the empire during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and was also the bridgehead for the conquest of the Southern Barbarians.
But now, it has fallen into the hands of the Chu people.
There is also Xia. This country is very ancient. Before the Yin and Shang Dynasties established their huge theocratic empire, it was actually one of Xia's states.
This is a very ancient slave republic. The supreme ruler of the country is selected from the leaders of the twelve internal states.
But later on, the leader of this alliance of states has always been the Yin people of Dashang, and later they were directly replaced by the Yin people and established Dashang.
The territory of the theocratic empire established by the Yin people, or merchants, was extremely vast. It is hard to say how big it was, but judging from Zhao Xingyue's description, it was probably about the same area as his hometown, or perhaps even larger.
As for the Great Zhou where Wang Wu is currently located, Wang Wu does not know its specific national strength, because Zhao Xingyue did not say which one was stronger or weaker than the Great Zhou, the two Wei, Chu, and Xia.
Wang Wu is very interested in these countries and would like to visit them if there is a chance in the future. For him now, it is better to establish a foothold in human society first.
He had thought about taking the rat girls to live in a human city. This was indeed feasible, because demon slaves were not uncommon in the human world. All he had to do was change the status of the rat girls into 'monster slaves'.
As for bans, there is no need for such things. It is safer to have this, but it is not a big problem if not.
Just like walking a dog without a leash is definitely unreasonable and dangerous, there are still a lot of people walking their dogs without a leash.
However, Wang Wu's strength is needed to ensure that Mouse Girl and the others are moved to live in human society. For now, Wang Wu's strength has not yet reached this level.
But now, with supplements as a blessing, Wang Wu does have plans to try it after next spring. As for the specific plan, it needs to be carefully planned.
After Wu Lian was settled, it was getting dark now. But the sun has already set, so it doesn't matter what time it is.
Wang Wu planned to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He could spend the rest of the day strolling around the city.
When he came to the central street of the county seat, there were many fewer pedestrians here than when he first entered the city. There were not many people in front of the various stalls on the roadside. Many roadside stall owners were already closing up their stalls and preparing to go home.
As for the reason for this, just look at the heavily armed soldiers in the city.
There are officials everywhere, soldiers patrolling the group, and even one or two demon-suppressing troops can be seen occasionally.
Behind them were soldiers, escorting a group of prisoners hurriedly passing by from a distant street. Judging from the clothes on the prisoners, they were all respectable people.
Just as Wang Wu had thought before, Situ Jin must have her main mission when she came to Hedong County.
Judging from the current situation of this main task, combined with the previous conversation between her and Ximen's family that she heard at the county government office, it seems that she is arresting someone.
But Wang Wu was also very curious, what kind of person could actually make the officials of Hedong County and the local wealthy families of Hedong County collude with them?
Even facing Situ Jin's interrogation, although it was most likely just a bit of personal entertainment for this woman Situ Jin. But no matter what, even if it was just for entertainment, the attitude shown by those Zhou family members was strange enough.
The Demon Suppressing Army represents the Great Zhou Dynasty, but facing the imperial court, these people still have no intention of being honest at all.
This is rather strange.
Wang Wu thought about it, and then his super brain began to operate, and he quickly came to the conclusion that 'this is none of my fucking business'.
Also, Wang Wu shrugged, so he stopped paying attention and continued to wander on the street.
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
Wang Wu walked to a stall selling jewelry, picked up a pair of crescent moon earrings, and asked.
"This is an old thing!" When the stall owner saw Wang Wu, he immediately beamed with joy, "This is a good treasure I pulled out from the Yin Ruins in the Bone Forest!!"
As he said that, he made a gesture, "I don't want more from you, eight taels of silver." "Nervous." Wang Wu put down the earrings, turned around and left.
"Hey, young hero! Don't leave!! Young hero!!!"
The boss's voice came from behind.
"Five taels, five taels!! Three taels!!! Forget it, for the sake of your handsome appearance, young hero, I'll sell it to you at a discount, as long as it's consistent! As long as it's consistent!!!"
"Five hundred essays!! Five hundred essays!!!"
Wang Wu didn't look back once and quickly left the place until the boss's voice completely disappeared.
After wandering around the city and buying some dry food, spices and furniture, Wang Wu arrived at the entrance of the county, which happened to be the door through which he entered the city.
After looking at the towering city wall of the county seat and the notice board at the entrance of the city gate, I walked over and read the content on it.
There was nothing, just some wanted orders and government notices. He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw a familiar name on the list from the corner of his eye, which made Wang Wu stop and look at the list carefully.
【Wanted: Li Brothers】
Reward: fifty taels per person, regardless of life or death

Hedong County Government
"Ha..." Wang Wu looked at the two portraits above, and his realistic painting skills were very well developed here. At least the two people in the portrait looked younger than what Wang Wu saw that day, but they did look that way.
The gongbi paintings here already have the concepts of perspective and shadow, and there is no difference between the modern gongbi paintings in Wang Wu's hometown.
It's a pity that those two people have been dead in the pit for several months, and the pit was messed up by others before, so they probably have no bones left long ago.
Turning around and leaving, he came to the city wall. Looking at the stairs going up and a yawning soldier guarding there, Wang Wu thought for a while and walked over.
"Master Jun."
Wang Wu is called "junye" when he goes up, because he doesn't know what to call him. He is neither an ancient person nor a native here, so naturally he can only listen to what others call him.
The soldier was still yawning, but when he heard the sound in his ear and looked at it carefully, he was frightened to death.
"Oh, oh! Sir! I, I'm not lazy, I'm not lazy!!!" He knelt down in front of Wang Wu with a 'pop', his body shaking like chaff.
"Well, I just want to go up and have a look." Faced with the soldier's attitude, Wang Wu awkwardly pointed to the stairs leading to the top of the city wall and said.
"Ah? Please, please!!" After hearing Wang Wu's words, the soldier immediately crawled out of the way, stood up and nodded to Wang Wu and bowed: "My lord, please!!"
The soldier didn't know Wang Wu's specific identity, but the people who followed the demon-suppressing army when they entered the city were obviously not someone that a pawn like him could afford to offend.
As for why he could recognize Wang Wu at a glance even though he had never seen him before, the answer was very simple. There was no need to explain his appearance in detail, just a few words about his divine appearance and the patterns on his clothes. .
Therefore, when he heard the other party calling him "Military Lord", the soldier who defended the city felt his heart freeze.
"Thank you."
Wang Wu nodded towards the other party and then went up the stairs. After he left, the soldier guarding the stairs wiped the sweat from his head and let out a sigh of relief.
"Mom...scared me to death."
…………
"My lord."
As soon as they reached the city wall, several soldiers greeted Wang Wu. Wang Wu nodded towards them, then came to the battlements and looked outside the city.
It was pitch black there, with only a little firelight on the plain far to the left, where there was a human village located on the wilderness.
As for the right hand side, that is the direction of the Forest of Bones. The straight-line distance between the Bone Forest and Hedong County is actually very far. You have to walk at least thirty kilometers from the forest to get here.
It was dark there, but it was not completely dark, because Wang Wu could see pairs of eyes in the forest, pairs of blood-red eyes.
That's the devil.
There are also some 'things' floating in the sky above the Bone Forest, either a vague figure or the vague outline of some kind of beast.
"Sir, sir?"
"Huh?" While looking in the direction of the Forest of Bones, Wang Wu suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and found that it was a thin taxi driver.
He is not tall, just over 1.7 meters tall, and his body is very thin, like a bamboo pole, so that the heavy armor looks very awkward on his body.
The soldiers in the city are all fully armored, with mail armor on the outside and mail armor on the inside, and thick cotton armor on the inside. The defensive power can be said to be quite excellent.
Wang Wu has never seen soldiers in the city wearing light armor or short armor like Isamu Nakago in the village outside the city. It can be seen that the productivity of this world is really developed.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Wu looked at the other party and asked.
"Sir, are you a true warrior?" The thin soldier saw that Wang Wu was actually willing to talk to him. He suddenly became excited and asked stammeringly.
"Yes." Wang Wu nodded, "Do you have anything to ask?"
"No, no, I don't know..." Hearing that Wang Wu actually planned to continue chatting with him, the soldier became even more excited. He stammered and was about to continue asking, but was pulled away the next second. beside.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!!"
A middle-aged soldier replaced the young man and came to Wang Wu. He nodded and bowed to him and said: "This boy is not sensible and his brain is not good. Please forgive me and don't argue with him..."
< br>
"It's okay, let him ask." Wang Wu tilted his head and smiled. Then he looked at the thin soldier behind him and asked, "Are you asking if you can't become a true warrior?"
The thin soldier immediately nodded repeatedly, looking excited, but as he nodded, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and his whole body froze in place.
"Huh?" Wang Wu noticed the strange behavior of the other party and was a little puzzled, but in an instant, a strong chill emerged from behind, making his hair stand on end in an instant.
He turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction in front of him, his pupils suddenly dilated.
That was a person, a woman, floating quietly not far outside the city wall.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. When Wang Wu saw the other party, he also froze in place.
It was a similar style of clothing to Zi Yuan's, but it was obviously not as gorgeous as Zi Yuan's clothes. It was more plain, and the pattern style on the clothes was completely different from Zi Yuan's.
Her abdomen was cut open and her face seemed to have been boiled in water. This reminded Wang Wu of the articles he had read about sacrifices in the Shang Dynasty.
‘The noble women of the defeated tribes were sent to the territory of the Yin people. There, they will be killed as human sacrifices, their heads cut off, cooked in a steamer, and dedicated to heaven’
The head of the woman in front of her was indeed incompatible with the body below, because there were no signs of being cooked on that specific body, and her head was also 'buckled' on her neck at a very strange angle.
It looked in the direction of Hedong County and opened its mouth. The muscles of the jaw bones had long lost their elasticity due to the high temperature cooking. As the lower jaw expanded, the muscles broke apart, like tearing apart a piece of cooked meat.
"Ahhh...ah..."
She made a sigh-like sound, which was still clearly audible even from a distance of about a hundred meters.
As she opened her mouth, time resumed its flow. Wang Wu pulled out the long sword from his waist in an instant, golden light flashed in his hand, and he suddenly retreated to the steps of the city wall.
'boom--! ! ! ’
At the same time, several beams of light shot out from the city wall, instantly engulfing the monster in the distance. As the beam disappeared, nothing was left there.
"Ha! You stupid thing, don't you know where we are in Hedong County? How dare you come to trouble us??"
The voice of the middle-aged soldier from before sounded in my ears. I looked at the other party. He was staring at the darkness in the distance, and he cursed with his hands on his hips very proudly.
Then, he turned to Wang Wu and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, sir. Our Hedong County defense is no better than..."
‘Pa-ta’
The sound stopped suddenly, because the middle-aged soldier's jaw dropped to the ground. Immediately afterwards, his body seemed to have been boiled in a steamer, and the color became extremely weird.
"Ah, ah ah, ah ah ah..."
But at this time he was still alive and very conscious.
He seemed to realize what had happened to him, and a demonic sigh came out of his throat. His body suddenly trembled, his eyes rolled wildly in his sockets, and then suddenly burst out and fell to the ground.
Behind the eyeballs was the entire body, which fell apart instantly and peeled off the bones like cooked meat.
And on top of this pile of rotten meat, the monster wearing ancient clothes, which was still a hundred meters away, outside the county seat, was standing there quietly.
Her eyeballs were dry, her jaw muscles were broken, her mouth was open, and she sighed.
"Ah..."
In an instant, golden light burst out on the city wall.
"Mouse mother!! Third mother!! Second mother!!"
While raising his sword to slash at the monster, Wang Wu was also roaring in his heart.
"What, what's wrong? Goro?"
When the rat girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, Wang Wu was relieved.
"Nothing, just a reminder not to go out."
After hanging up the phone and looking at the body that had been cut off by his own knife, Wang Wu's sense of crisis had not gone away at all.
Because he knew very well that the thing was not dead.
