Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 345 Business
Yang Qian had just arrived in Linshui City today, and Hu Ming came to visit him in the evening. This must be said: he was well-informed.

But how did the news come from? You know, Yang Qian would not only let the inner guards clean up the tail behind him on the road, but sometimes he would do it himself.

Not to mention that it was spotlessly clean, at least most of the tails were cleaned up. And how did Hu Ming know Yang Qian's exact whereabouts?

Hu Ming did not avoid the topic. After a moment of silence, he said, "Sir Yang, your whereabouts were given to us at Tianyin Pavilion by the government office in Shuangqing Prefecture. However, after entering the city, we spent some extra effort to find your residence."

This answer once again surprised Yang Qian, but it made perfect sense when he thought about it carefully.

After all, Yang Qian's whereabouts were exposed after he entered Linshui City. Otherwise, why would Li Yifu come to greet him right after he entered the city? And Li Yifu would definitely report the news to the governor Xiao Cangyu as soon as possible. Even if Li Yifu was a little slow, the Linshui City garrison would pass the news back as soon as possible.

Then the news was revealed to Hu Ming by the city government. After receiving it, Hu Ming came here on a cloud, so he was well on time.

Yang Qian smiled, with a hint of cruelty.

He thought that among the people in Shuangqing Prefecture who disliked him, there should be the prefectural lord Xiao Cangyu, but he did not expect that the other party would take action so soon.

Why did he send the message to Hu Ming? It was obvious that he knew that Yang Qian had killed several of Hu Ming's descendants in Taocheng, and Hu Ming's cultivation was not low either, so he wanted to use a knife to kill someone.

Presumably Hu Ming was not stupid, and he knew Xiao Cangyu's thoughts, so he did not act immediately after receiving the news. Instead, he observed secretly and chose to "turn hostility into friendship."

After all, although Yang Qian's aura was confusing and difficult to discern, his battle record at Baiguling and Thirty-three Caves was clearly there. Hu Ming judged that Yang Qian was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and that he should not fight him unless it was absolutely necessary.

As for the disciples? If they die, they die. As long as they can bring more benefits, it doesn't matter.

For example, now. Hu Ming looked at Yang Qian, who had a sinister expression, and a standard businessman's smile appeared on his face.

"Lord Yang must have a lot of questions. If you want to know, you can ask me. We at Tianyin Pavilion are absolutely honest and trustworthy."

Is this how you get the business started?
Yang Qian glanced at Hu Ming with a half-smile, then said, "What is the relationship between Xiao Cangyu and the demon mountain and bandits in Shuangqing Prefecture? The more detailed the better."

"That's a good question. Although Lord Yang will definitely figure it out with his ability, it will take a lot of time. I can save you the trouble. But I need a red-faced dog mushroom in your hand in exchange."

Yang Qian didn't waste any words. He searched in his storage bag and placed a dried plant on the coffee table. It was the red-faced dog mushroom that Hu Ming mentioned.

As the name suggests, this thing is a palm-sized, red mushroom shaped like a dog's head. It is a rare medicinal material and is highly poisonous.

Yang Qian had seen records in "Hundreds of Herbs and Prescriptions" that red-faced dog mushrooms were not used in ordinary elixirs, but they were often used in refining high-level elixirs or spiritual pills of the Yin Sha type. It was a very important medicinal ingredient.

The red-faced dog mushroom in Yang Qian's hand was collected from Bai Xian's storage bag after he destroyed Bai Gu Ling. He had no use for it, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

Hu Ming immediately smiled when he saw this. He had heard that Bai Xian had this thing a few years ago, and now he finally got it.

After collecting the things, Hu Mingcai said, "Master Yang, Xiao Cangyu is not a simple person. He is actually a cultivator himself, and a rare weapon cultivator. He practices two types of weapons, the spear and the flying sword. In addition, he has the strength of the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm. Ordinary people of the same realm can do nothing to him."

"Is Xiao Cangyu a cultivator? That's impossible, isn't it? In his early years, Xiao Cangyu was a son of a poor family in the imperial city. Later, he took the initiative to be transferred to two border cities. He came to Shuangqing Prefecture when he was nearly 40 years old. If he was a cultivator and had such a high level of cultivation, the imperial court would not have been unaware of it." Yang Qian still remembered the information about the main officials in Shuangqing Prefecture that Hu An had found for him before he came. He believed that Xiao Cangyu was not simple; but he did not believe that Xiao Cangyu was a cultivator, or a great cultivator in the out-of-body realm.

A man in his forties who started practicing from scratch could reach the Out-of-Body Realm in just over thirty years? Unless he was cheating like him, it was really unlikely.

"Sir, the world is unpredictable. If Xiao Cangyu were to follow normal circumstances, let alone reach the Out-of-Body Realm, it would be hard to say whether he could even enter the Qi Training Realm.

But there are so many strange things in this world, otherwise it wouldn't be worth your red-faced dog mushroom."

"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

"Xiao Cangyu followed the path of an evil cultivator. He also found a very powerful magic weapon. The magic weapon is called Blood Crystal, which is said to be able to help him offset most of the blood disasters. That's why he was able to cultivate from nothing to the Out-of-Body Realm in just over thirty years.

Honestly speaking, this speed of improvement is rare even among evil cultivators.

Sir Yang, you don't need to doubt this news. When you meet Xiao Cangyu later, you will understand his background. "

After a pause, Hu Ming continued: "The relationship between Xiao Cangyu and the demon mountain and the bandits is purely a relationship of interest. Even the fact that Shuangqing Prefecture can maintain the current relatively stable situation is the result of Xiao Cangyu's efforts.

Otherwise, if we allow all parties to continue wreaking havoc, Shuangqing Prefecture will become even more chaotic, and ordinary people will have no way to survive."

It was the same story again. Yang Qian had heard it twice since arriving in Shuangqing Prefecture, from Kuang Yu of Pingcheng and Li Yifu of Linshui City.

This is the third time.

It's as if the situation in Shuangqing Prefecture, where the people are living in dire straits and are being raised like pigs and dogs and slaughtered at will, is the best outcome. This is because this situation appeases the vested interests and allows them to enjoy stable and worry-free benefits to a certain extent.

It even seems that doing so will allow Shuangqing Prefecture, which would have been in a worse situation with more deaths, to "have a chance to survive."

"More opportunities to survive? Sir Hu Ming, do you mean to be kept in a pen like pigs and sheep, slaughtered regularly and then shared and eaten? Tsk tsk, if you have the chance, you must not miss such a day."

Hu Ming clearly felt the murderous intent in Yang Qian's eyes when he said this, which actually made him feel creepy.

I thought to myself: Yang Qian's aura is too strange, I can't tell his cultivation level, and he is extremely violent. But I guess he is at least in the late Nascent Soul stage, and it is very likely that he is even in the Out-of-Body stage! What a monster!

Hu Ming really didn't want to start a feud with Yang Qian, so he changed the subject and continued, "Also, I have a secret for you, Lord Yang."

"What secret?"

"It is said that Xiao Cangyu's evil methods actually originated from the evil sect Huashen Sect thousands of years ago."
