Chapter 24 [024] Yan Hongxue
“I don’t know which bastard secretly reported to the new Demon Slayer Division, saying that Brother Zheng, you seized power and greed for merit, killed Pang Qian Ding, and harmed the people.”
Tao Qi scolded with indignation, "A bunch of guys who are cheating and cheating don't even look at it. If it weren't for Brother Zheng, how many people would have died in and outside the city? These beasts will be punished sooner or later!"
"It's okay." Gu Zheng asked calmly as he walked, "What's going on with the Demon Slayer Division you just mentioned?"
"It is said that it is the newly established Siya of the imperial court. It is responsible for killing demons and has great power."
Tao Qi followed and replied, "There are more than a hundred people coming, all wearing pitch black armor, and full of murderous intent. The five leaders are more powerful, almost the same as Brother Zheng before you. As soon as they come, they take over. After leaving the yamen, the county magistrate and county captain were all reduced to being dispatched. "
"Brother Zheng, why don't you run away? I feel like they are coming with bad intentions and will be detrimental to you."
The young man looked worried.
"Escape?"
Gu Zheng stopped, raised his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, and said softly, "You fell into the informant's sinister plan when you ran away. A Si Ya who is responsible for slaying demons? Ha, that's interesting."
After that, he strode forward and rushed to the county government office.
"This..." Tao Qi saw this, anxious and confused. He didn't know what to do, so he had to follow quickly.
After a while, the two people walked in from the county government gate one after the other.
Wow~!
As soon as he entered the door, on the left and right, a row of tall men in black armor all turned their heads to look at Gu Zheng.
An invisible and sinister aura suddenly hit his face.
Tao Qi's calves went weak and he almost knelt down.
Gu Zheng calmly walked through the middle and entered the lobby.
"Yo, here we come."
Tao Liu leaned against the pillar and glanced lazily at Gu Zheng, "Gu Baotou is very majestic...huh? Such pure magical fluctuations."
As he spoke, Tao Liu subconsciously stood up straight.
"It is indeed pure enough. There is no trace of other strange energy." Wu Kun frowned and agreed in a deep voice.
"So, people's ability to eliminate demons in and outside the city relies on their true strength." An Xiaoxue crossed her arms and winked at Chen Zhizhen.
Chen Zhizhen looked solemn, holding the hilt of a broad sword in front of his chest with both hands, looking directly at Gu Zheng, and shouted, "Gu Zheng, was it you who killed the city defense captain, Pang Qian Ding?"
"This is an accident, purely accidental." Tong Yuanshan, who was standing in the corner, quickly replied, "Gu Zheng did not kill Pang Qianding on purpose..."
Zhang Hucheng said nothing, lowered his head and looked at the ground.
"Magistrate Tong, please remain silent."
Chen Zhizhen glanced at Tong Yuanshan. Under the impact of the invisible momentum, Tong Yuanshan's face turned pale, his body trembled, his chest felt tight, and he had to stop what he said.
"Is this how you, the Demon Slayer Division, bully others?"
Gu Zheng spoke softly, "I killed Pang Qian Ding. Shouldn't he die because he colluded with the demon?"
Um?
Tong Yuanshan, Zhang Hucheng, Tao Liu, An Xiaoxue, and Wu Kun were all startled.
Tao Qi, who was waiting outside the door, was also stunned.
Chen Zhizhen's face darkened.
"Colluding with demons?"
Wu Kun came back to his senses and said amusedly, "You said that Pang Qian Ding colluded with demons. Where is the evidence? There is no evidence..."
"Of course I have evidence."
Gu Zheng glanced at him and said, "The evidence is at his house. If you want to see it, I will take you there."
Pang Qian Ding was a captain of the city defense garrison, so the consequences of killing him would naturally exist.
If Gu Zheng dares to take action, the subsequent processing will be inevitable.
Pretending to collude with demons is the best way to cause trouble.
Han Ming and the others are very skilled at this kind of thing.
Especially since Pang Qian Ding is dead, he can't defend himself even if he wants to.
If these people really want to take action, Gu Zheng will have the confidence to kill them if they take ten thousand steps back. The worst possible outcome is to defect to Nangong Yaoyue.
The power of the aristocratic family is completely unafraid of the imperial court.
…
"This is really..."
Tao Liu smacked his lips and said nothing more.
An Xiaoxue turned her eyes and looked towards the innermost part of the lobby, where a figure kept looking down at the copywriting.
Wu Kun stopped talking and turned around to look at the figure in the back.
Chen Zhizhen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
"Okay."
The figure who was looking at the copywriter raised his head at the right time. A pair of bright eyes fell on Gu Zheng from a distance, and a crisp voice resounded throughout the lobby.
"Gu Zheng, whose nickname is Ping'an, is the eldest son of a wealthy local family in Qingshi County. He has been smart since he was a child and possesses considerable talent in martial arts. He has practiced martial arts for ten years and has become a first-class master in the world."
"After the change in the sky, starting from the discovery of the demon rat, the strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He has become a master, broken the limit, and the alien body has begun to show its strength."
"After the field breaks out, enter Dalong Mountain for one day and one night. After returning to the city, clear away the demons inside and outside the city."
"Since a few days ago, the demons in Qingshi County have been almost wiped out. Am I right to say the above?"
"Yes." Gu Zheng looked directly at the young woman sitting on the chair, wearing dark red armor, with majestic features and heroic brows.
After entering the room, Gu Zheng discovered that the four people who spoke and the young woman behind the desk were wearing different armor than the people outside.
There were two rows of soldiers outside. Their armors were uniformly black, except for a large slash pattern on their chests.
The five people in the room had dark red armor and black cloaks hanging down their backs.
The armor plates on the chest and shoulders are also engraved with one to five copper-colored stars in varying numbers.
The young woman behind the desk has the largest number of stars on her armor, making her look like a sky full of stars.
The mysterious fluctuations transmitted from the other party are also the strongest.
According to Gu Zheng's judgment, he is stronger than him.
Is it also a different body that shakes the mountain?
Even stronger!
Obviously, the status of these five people in the Demon Slayer Division is higher than that of the soldiers outside.
And these five people were headed by a young woman.
…
"My name is Yan Hongxue."
Behind the desk, Yan Hongxue put down the copywriting, looked directly at Gu Zheng with bright eyes, and said softly, "We are the Rangers of the Demon Slayer Division. When we were patrolling Nanyun Mansion, we received information asking for help and came to Qingshi County to clean up. Monster, although you came too late and you have eliminated all the monsters, but now that you are here..."
"It's 100 percent cleared. It shouldn't be there yet."
Gu Zheng interrupted calmly, "There may be many demons hiding deep in the mountains and forests."
"That's enough credit for you to exchange for a certain amount of treasure pills, true skills, and even spiritual weapons."
Yan Hongxue said calmly, "The prerequisite is that you join the Demon Slayer Division!"
Um?
Tong Yuanshan and Zhang Hucheng, who listened to the conversation with their ears pricked up, were stunned when they heard this.
The next moment, Tong Yuanshan showed joy, secretly gesturing and winking at Gu Zheng.
Zhang Hucheng opened his mouth wide with shock on his face.
On the other hand, Wu Kun, Tao Liu, An Xiaoxue, and Chen Zhizhen did not change much, as if they had expected it.
"...Join the Demon Slayer Division?"
Gu Zheng was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure. Instead of rushing to express his position, he asked, "May I ask when the Demon Slayer Division was established?"
This question is not very important, but Gu Zheng just wants to know!
