Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 378 The wind has begun to blow
When he came out of the secret realm, it was still daytime outside, and it seemed that it had not been long since Yang Qian entered.

But in fact, the operation status of the magic circle that Yang Qian left outside fed back to him told Yang Qian that three days had actually passed from the time he entered the secret realm to the time he came out.

This is another new discovery.

The speed of time in the secret realm is different from that outside. It only took Yang Qian one day in the secret realm, but three days outside.

Is this the case for all secret realms? Or are they different?

After calming down, Yang Qian realized that it would take him a long time to digest what he had gained from reading the "Mysterious Book of the North".

"The Book of the North" may not necessarily affect the improvement of Yang Qian's cultivation level, but as for his strength and combat power, Yang Qian is certain that it will be a subversive change.

The opportunity was full of gains, but Yang Qian would not devote a lot of energy to it at the moment. The most important thing for him now was to smash Xiao Cangyu, the mountain that stood in the way of the Shuangqing government!

Then Yang Qian rose into the sky from the Yuzhu Forest and flew back to Bianxia City in a swagger. He ignored the guards and crossbows on the city wall who were ready for battle, and landed directly in the backyard of the government office where Wen Qing was.

"Wen Qing kowtows to Lord Yang on behalf of the common people of Bianxia City! Thank you Lord Yang for your compassion. From now on, the evils of Yuzhu Forest and Qibao Mountain have finally been wiped out by you!
The people of Bianxia will always remember your great kindness and virtue, and Wen Qing will never forget it either!"

Seeing Wen Qing kowtow in front of him, Yang Qian showed no reaction. No matter how Wen Qing acted, he would not believe it. At most, he would not regard Wen Qing as Xiao Cangyu's die-hard supporter for the time being.

I came back this time, not for anything else, but for two things.

First, Yang Qian needed Wen Qing from Bianxia City to help him spread the news about Yuzhu Forest and Qibao Mountain more quickly. He really needed this kind of fame.

People in Shuangqing Mansion are very secretive. Yang Qian doesn't dare to trust others, so how can other people be an exception? Everyone keeps their distance and is suspicious of each other, but also sticks together.

The same goes for Xiao Cangyu.

What Yang Qian needs to do now is to make more people fear his strength and dare not easily bet between him and Xiao Cangyu.

As long as the majority, or half of the officials, choose to wait and see instead of attacking him, Yang Qian's future affairs will be much simpler.

Another reason for Yang Qian to come back was about the secret realm. He wanted to come back and ask Hu Ming if the inscriptionless stele in the secret realm was a unique case in Shuangqing Prefecture, and if there was one in other secret realms.

"Master Wen, there is no need to do this. Yang Qian has said before that it is Yang Qian's job to wipe out evil spirits and bandits. This time, it can be said that he did not do his best. Not only did two bandit leaders escape, but Qibao Mountain was only half cleared, and Yuzhu Forest was completely deserted.

So if these two forces come back in the near future, you can just hold them back. When I have time, I will find a way to make them disappear completely."

"Master Yang, you are worrying too much. The bandits and demon cultivators from Yuzhulin and Qibaoshan will not dare to come back so soon. If they run away, it means they are afraid of you and know that you are not something they can resist. So unless something big happens to you and an unfavorable situation occurs, Qibaoshan and Yuzhulin will never dare to come back.

My Lord, you can focus on handling the urgent matters. If Shuangqing Prefecture wants long-term peace and stability, you cannot lose!"

Wen Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, did not raise his head, but his words were unexpectedly sharp. Not only was his judgment on the bandits and demons in Yuzhulin and Qibaoshan firm, but he also added a meaningful sentence that clearly showed his intention to take sides. "Sir Wen, please stand up and talk. I am also curious about what you mean by long-term peace and stability. Don't you think these four words are abrupt when applied to the small piece of land in Shuangqing Prefecture?"

After Wen Qing stood up, he raised his head and said with a serious face: "Sir, the main reason why Shuangqing Prefecture is in such a mess is because the country is weak.

Shuangqing Prefecture is located in a remote area, and the road is like crossing a natural chasm. It is extremely difficult for the imperial court to control it. In addition, the Wanli Bamboo Sea is right next to Shuangqing Prefecture. What secrets are there that attract powerful forces such as Chansi Cave and Feiyun Valley, which has also plunged Shuangqing Prefecture into endless haze.

If we want to clear the haze and ensure long-term stability in Shuangqing Prefecture, we must first strengthen the power of the imperial court in Shuangqing Prefecture. Then we must completely rebuild the official network of Shuangqing Prefecture. Everything from the government office to the military office must be rebuilt.

Only by rebuilding a strong structure can the threat from Chansi Cave and Feiyun Valley be contained within the Wanli Bamboo Sea, rather than allowing them to wreak havoc in Shuangqing Prefecture.

My Lord, Xiao Cangyu is rotten to the core. As long as he is in Shuangqing Prefecture, the people of Shuangqing Prefecture will never see the light of day."

Yang Qian never expected Wen Qing to be so blunt. He almost said that Yang Qian had to kill Xiao Cangyu in order for Shuangqing Prefecture to have a chance of long-term peace. And these words also indirectly pointed out the speculation about Yang Qian's next move.

"Oh? So Lord Wen is very familiar with Palace Master Xiao? Can you tell me more?"

"Lord Yang wants to know, and I will tell you everything I know!"

Yang Qian spent the entire afternoon listening to Qing's introduction in the backyard of the government office. He knew Xiao Cangyu's family background, and then he later established a profit system with him as the core in Shuangqing Prefecture, and the two most important supports for maintaining this system: Xiao Cangyu's own cultivation in the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm and Sun Kuan, the general of the military office who was absolutely loyal to him.

But Wen Qing’s focus is different from Yang Qian’s.

Wen Qing was even more afraid of Xiao Cangyu's strength. Even though Yang Qian destroyed mountains and strongholds in Shuangqing Prefecture, and sent demons and bandits running everywhere, he still couldn't have absolute confidence that Yang Qian could defeat Xiao Cangyu. So he kept asking Yang Qian to find a force to unite with for help, or ask the imperial court to send more strong men.

But Yang Qian didn't take Xiao Cangyu seriously. He cared more about Sun Kuan from the military office. After all, it was easy to kill Xiao Cangyu, but what about the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals under Sun Kuan's command? He couldn't kill them all, right?

Moreover, if so many soldiers were to become disorderly, the harm they would cause could not be underestimated.

"Don't worry, sir. As long as Xiao Cangyu dies, Sun Kuan won't be a problem. You're worried about the chaos in the army, but this is actually inevitable. It's also the necessary price to pay for long-term peace and stability!"

Wen Qing said so.

When Yang Qian left Bianxia's office, he already had a new evaluation of Wen Qing in his mind.

This is a man who is smart, brave, ruthless, and talented. He also has a lot of hidden ideas in his head, and he probably has other plans that he hasn't revealed yet.

I went to the restaurant in Bianxia City again and met Hu Ming as I wished.

When Yang Qian left Bianxia City again and was on his way to Hengcheng, a big smile appeared on his face.

Because Hu Ming told Yang Qian that there are wordless tablets in the secret realm. It is generally believed that the wordless tablets are just a marker to anchor the secret realm and have no other use.
PS: I will post another chapter this afternoon. I was delayed by something in the past two days.
