Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 212: Old Acquaintance

Xu Ying looked at the dots of fluorescent light around her, feeling miraculous, and clearly felt that the strange cold that had been tormenting her for the past few days was rapidly fading away. Her spirits slowly recovered, and she realized that the unfamiliar faces in the room were indeed not ordinary people, but the immortal masters that Erzi had mentioned.

In the past, Xu Ying would have to kneel down to the Immortal Master. These two words were deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people like her, and they meant that she was superior to others. What's more, he cured her "disease".

But now it’s different from before. Xu Ying’s eldest son is also a little immortal master, and he cannot bring shame to his reputation.

"Thank you for your help, Master!" Xu Ying felt much better and had more strength. She sat up and nodded to Jiang Yun to express her gratitude. The main reason was that she had just been lying on the bed and it was inconvenient for her to get up.

"Old lady, you are too polite. Just call me Jiang Yun. Yang Qian and I are friends. When I see someone trying to harm you, I will naturally not stand idly by. This is my duty." Jiang Yun smiled and waved his hand, very politely.

In Xu Ying's eyes, the young man in front of her with an eye patch was very friendly, just like an ordinary junior, which made her feel a little more familiar.

Xu Ying's spirits were getting better and better, and he started chatting with Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun said that he and Yang Qian did not know each other until they fought, and later he helped him a lot thanks to Yang Qian. He went to Jizhou City this time to express his gratitude.

After chatting for about an incense stick of time, Jiang Yun's junior brothers and sisters came back, smelling a little bloody.

Xu Ying couldn't tell, but Yang Xun could guess that these two people must have killed someone when they went out just now.

"how?"

"Kill two people." The woman said as she reached out and took out a wooden sculpture. On the wooden sculpture was a monster with a human body and a beast's head sitting cross-legged, with wings behind it and a single horn on its head. It was completely black except for the horn which was stained with some scarlet color.

"Evil artifact?!" Jiang Yun took the wooden sculpture, and a flash of surprise flashed across his face. Then he asked, "Where is the person?"

"They're all dead. After we found them, they swallowed the evil pill and went berserk. We had no choice but to kill them."

"Tsk, I didn't expect these guys to actually hide in the secular world." Jiang Yun nodded, put the wooden sculpture into the storage bag, and the surprise and doubt on his face also faded.

Turning around, Jiang Yun said to Yang Xun and Xu Ying, "Madam, Brother Yang Xun, the people who wanted to harm you have been dealt with. Madam, don't worry anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Yun removed the soul-soothing talisman from Xu Ying and observed for a while to make sure there was no problem.

After staying up most of the night, Xu Ying was still tired, so he thanked her again and went to sleep. Jiang Yun and the others returned to the main hall.

"Miss, I want to ask, where was the place where you met those two thieves just now?"

"Just around the corner from this street to the north."

Yang Xun frowned and thought: Careful indeed.

He knew the place the female disciple was talking about, but it was still far away from Fumanlou. The person was dead again, and there was no way to connect it with Wu Zhong who came here two days ago.

Besides, his mother was fine now, and Yang Xun's irritability also subsided. He thought calmly, this matter was not just about Wu Zhong, it was hard to say whether these people in front of him were deliberately acting for him. This possibility was not impossible.

However, Yang Xun hid his thoughts very well and did not reveal a single bit.

Seeing Yang Xun was silent for a while, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "If Brother Yang Xun is still worried, I can let my junior brothers and sisters stay to take care of you for a few days. I will also bring the news here to Brother Yang Qian in Jizhou City. How do you think?"

Yang Xun nodded quickly and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your kindness!" As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply.

"However, what Brother Jiang just said seems to be against you?"

"Well, this evil weapon is a trick of the Huashen Sect. They have some fame in the evil world. But they were wiped out by the Immortal Alliance many years ago. We have also fought with some of the ones who escaped the net sporadically, but we haven't seen them for a long time." Jiang Yun spoke in a general way, and it was obvious that he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Yang Xun didn't ask too much.

But no matter what, for the time being, his mother's situation was stable. As for the future, Yang Xun knew that this matter involved the immortal master and the evil monks who ate people like demons in the legend. This was no longer something he could handle, and he needed to explain it to his eldest brother.

So, that night Yang Xun wrote a letter to Jiang Yun and had him take it to Jizhou City, and then he cleaned two guest rooms for Jiang Yun's junior brothers and sisters to stay in.

The next day, after Yang Xun sent Jiang Yun away, he immediately turned around and went to the Sandacheng Post Station, then took out another letter and stuffed a handful of silver into the post station supervisor.

"Old Chen, this is extremely urgent, please help me!"

"Hey! Master Yang, what's this?" He said as he weighed the silver in his hand, the smile on his face becoming so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.

"My mother is sick at home, and I need to tell my brother urgently. Can you help me to go to Jizhou City as soon as possible? How about that?"

"The old lady is ill? Oh, this is urgent! All right! I will ask the brothers to set off immediately, one man with two horses, and change at two post stations. This is only a little slower than the Red Feather Express. I guarantee that the letter will be delivered to Lord Yang in three days at the latest!"

Seeing the second letter being sent away by the post station rider, Yang Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the latest, three days, this speed should be enough to get ahead of Jiang Yun, right?
In fact, it took less than three days, but only two and a half days, when a fast horse carrying a tired-looking rider rushed into the post station on the edge of Jizhou City.

Then the words "Written personally by Yang Qian, Chief of the Patrol Case Department" on the letter made people dare not neglect it.

So less than half an hour after the rider took the letter to the post station, the letter that was in Yang Xun's arms two days ago was in Yang Qian's hands.

At this time, Yang Qian was "strolling" in the small drill ground behind the Patrol Office, holding a letter in his hand and reading it without stopping.

A gust of wind blew, and Yang Qian's body suddenly floated up like a fallen leaf blown by the wind. He wandered around in the small training ground with no fixed direction, looking extremely weird.

Suddenly, Yang Qian hummed, and stood still. An invisible shock spread out around him like a wall, sweeping across the small training ground for several feet. There were even slight cutting marks near where he landed.

"These people are really quick. Are they trying to put pressure on me? Are they going to choose the gold piece or the big stick? Tsk, that's great."

When Yang Qian received his brother's letter, he was a little surprised at first. Why two letters in a row? How long had the previous letter urging him to get married been?
As a result, the content of the letter made him furious.

In the end, he still underestimated those people in the city. He didn't expect that even after killing two evil monks, he still couldn't suppress the other party. Instead, the other party wanted him to choose a side more urgently.

Things that I thought I could do slowly before now seem to have to be done faster.

But Jiang Yun is back? Yang Qian was a little suspicious, because the Jiang Yun he knew was not the one-eyed man mentioned by Yang Xun in the letter.
