Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 315: A Good Act

One outpost consists of seven people, or seven monks.

This is already a considerable fighting force in other places. No matter whether it is thieves or evil spirits, they must be avoided as much as possible.

But this is Shuangqing Prefecture.

Monks are famous in other places, but here, they are not that great. There are too many ways and places to deal with monks. If one cannot do it, join forces with several others. Only the brave can ride the dragon and the tiger; if you are timid, you can't even eat hot shit!

So when the outposts came back, some of them were injured. Although the injuries were not serious, it was really embarrassing for a few demons and bandits who acted as mouthpieces.

At least these internal guards who had failed in their mission felt ashamed.

"Tell me about the situation." Yang Qian was not surprised. After all, these demons did not run away but surrounded the cavalry, which clearly showed that they were waiting for everyone to gather and then kill them. Knowing that there were more than a hundred monks in the cavalry, they still dared to do this. How could they do this without some confidence and means?
"To answer your question, sir, we encountered the most demons and evil spirits during this attack, and relatively fewer bandits and thieves. There are many demon cultivators among them, and there are also quite a few Qi training cultivators among the bandits and thieves."

The outpost leader lowered his head and told the whole story of the tongue capture. Although he felt embarrassed, he still knew the pros and cons and did not dare to hide or exaggerate anything in his words.

The situation was not complicated. The inner guards were careless, while the other side was well prepared. If it weren't for the experience of these inner guards, they would have suffered a greater loss this time.

The three tongues that were brought back were now all held in the baggage storage of the horse team. Several veteran torturers who volunteered to do this were preparing their tools to pry open the mouths of these guys.

Yang Qian also watched the interrogation. He was not unfamiliar with torture. There were special courses on this subject in the police station, and some people were even studying how to make the prisoners suffer the least amount of damage while getting the most pain.

The interrogation methods in the military are similar to those in the police station, except that the instruments of torture are more monotonous.

The thief confessed quickly.

Afterwards, the two evil demons tried to hold on by gritting their teeth, but Yang Qian became impatient and raised his hand and shot two balls of lightning and fire into the other's souls, directly burning their souls. In less than ten breaths, the evil demons cried and begged for mercy and were willing to speak.

The result is that you don’t know if you don’t ask, but you will be shocked if you ask.

Although these demons and bandits were indeed preparing to gather more forces to besiege and kill the cavalry where Yang Qian and his group were.

However, this situation was not a sudden idea of ​​these demons and bandits, but they had known the news half a month ago, but were not sure of the exact time. Now the response was the best proof that the people and demons here had been waiting to attack Yang Qian and his party.

Who pushed it?

The three tongues that were captured didn't know. They were all pawns. The farthest they heard was that the demon cultivators in their own village or on their own mountain were instigating. If they went further up, it would be the Xingsheng League. And it was also speculation. Because this area was the territory of the Xingsheng League, the Xingsheng League could not avoid any big or small things.

When Yang Qian first heard the name of Xingsheng League, he was stunned.

Good fellow! The immortal sect formed an immortal alliance, and these demons and bandits joined hands to form a prosperous alliance, right?
Unity is strength, right? If you understand, yes!

This kind of thing, which is almost unimaginable in other places, happened to Yang Qian as soon as he entered Shuangqing Mansion.

What’s even more interesting is that, according to these rumors, the Xingsheng League knew in advance the approximate time he would arrive in Shuangqing Prefecture, accurate to within half a month, and knew the general direction from which he would enter Shuangqing Prefecture.

To put it bluntly, someone knew that Yang Qian was going to take up the post in Shuangqing Prefecture but did not want him to come in alive.

"Sir, do you think this matter needs to be reported to the Political Academy?" Juan asked from the side. The Political Academy is actually a department set up by the emperor to participate in the planning and formulation of government affairs. Its function is similar to that of the left and right prime ministers' offices, but it is directly responsible to the emperor, used to balance the left and right prime ministers' offices and to express the emperor's direct opinions.

When Hu An said this, he clearly felt that there was a high possibility that the government or military offices in Shuangqing Prefecture were colluding with bandits and demons. Otherwise, how could the bandits and demons know so accurately about Yang Qian's appointment?
Yang Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to report such a small matter. Since Shuangqing Mansion is so enthusiastic in putting on a show for me, how can I waste this "good intention"?

Are you right? "

"Sir, what do you mean?" Juan didn't quite understand.

Acting? Still kind?

Yang Qian flicked his fingers, and three blade beams flew out from his fingertips. They were only the size of fingernails, and rushed past at high speed, instantly drilling into the eyebrows of the two evil spirits and the bandit. Then, with three "pa pa pa" sounds, they pierced through the back of their heads.

There was a crack when it went in, and when it came out, half of its head was shattered, leaving a hole as big as a fist, and its brains were splattered all over the floor.

[Kill 2 evil spirits from the Xingsheng Alliance]

【Gain 40 experience】

【Kill 1 bandit from the Xingsheng League】

【Gain 18 experience】

The tips on the experience panel are just a small profit, but they also directly confirm the words of the three tongues. They do belong to the same force, the Xingsheng Alliance.

However, what these three tongues know about the Xingsheng Alliance is very one-sided and they don’t know the deeper things.

It is said that there are two leaders in the Xingsheng League. One is a bandit stronghold called Mafeng Village. It is very large and has three thousand killers in it, including a large number of independent cultivators. It is located in the south of Shuangqing Prefecture, which is the area where Yang Qian entered Shuangqing Prefecture from the direction of Jizhou Prefecture. It is a well-known mountain stronghold.

The other group was a small demon mountain, where there were said to be thousands of demon cultivators. There were also countless demons and evil spirits attached to the mountain, and the number was even greater than that of the Mafeng Village.

Yang Qian summed up two reasons from the words of the three tongues as to why these two mountains could support the formation of a prosperous alliance.

First, internally, the two families belong to the strongest forces in the area. If they call on everyone to form an alliance, who dares to say no? You have to know that both families have strong people in charge. According to the three tongues, they are all masters of the Jindan realm!

Second, externally. Although these two companies have experts, they can only make a living if they fight alone. Only by forming an alliance and at least increasing their size can they get more resources.

But even so, it still cannot explain the suspicious reason why Xingsheng League could grasp the whereabouts of Yang Qian and his group so accurately.

The only explanation is that there is someone behind the Xingsheng Alliance.

After all, the Xingsheng Alliance can only make a living in the marginal areas of Shuangqing Prefecture, and it is not a top-level force no matter how you look at it.

"Pass the order down. No food will be cooked tonight. The baggage will not be moved. The rest of you listen to my order. Assault on Ciqiu Mountain at night!"

Yang Qian gave the order, and Juan's eyes lit up, realizing that Yang Qian was going to strike first. It just so happened that everyone was so angry, and now it was time to vent it out.
