Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 61: The Monkey Demon of Mount Paektu
Late at night, in the garrison tent outside the city.

During the day, Song Qixun rushed over to see off the immortal masters from the Five Thunder Palace, and when he came back he looked very unhappy.

Because the immortal masters from the Five Thunder Palace rejected his invitations to a banquet one after another, and they didn't say a word to him at all. They just shook their heads and didn't even look at him.

If it were all like this, it would be fine. But the Five Thunder Palace favored the people in the government office, or more precisely, the head constable named Yang Qian in the government office. They even said that Yang Qian had made great contributions in capturing the treasure, so they stayed for three days to give personal instructions?
It was the first time that Song Qixun heard of these high and mighty immortal masters treating people so generously.

Moreover, the door will be closed for three days. Who knows if there will be other benefits besides just martial arts instruction?

Song Qixun shouldn't have cared about the affairs of a mere police chief. But Yang Qian might have something to do with the blood cherry fruit he lost, which made him feel irritated.

The person I want to deal with actually has such good luck. How can I not be angry?
Song Yuan had previously learned about some of Yang Qian’s situation reports, saying that Yang Qian had bought a house and was probably going to bring his younger brother and mother who were far away in Yicheng, Changzhou Prefecture, over.

Song Qixun waited for Yang Qian to leave the city and then took action outside the city. As a result, Yang Qian went to find the carriage and horse company again, and it seemed that he would not pick him up in person, which made Song Qixun very annoyed. The blood cherry fruit could not be found, and Yang Qian was the only clue he had now. As time was running out, he was a little angry.

"Sir, the monkeys from Mount Paektu are here, waiting in the left tent. They look angry and I'm afraid they have nothing good to say."

"Let Lin Kuizhong watch over it, and add more men and crossbows around the left camp, just in case."

"Yes!" The deputy general was about to turn around and carry out the order, but was stopped by Song Qixun.

Song Qixun suddenly changed his mind, "Forget it, don't call Lin Kuizhong over. Just go there in person and tell him I'll be there soon."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Song Qixun sat for a while, thinking quickly in his mind, and then he left his central military tent on time and went to a side tent in the left camp with several personal guards.

This tent is different from most of the tents in the military camp.

First of all, the surrounding area was heavily guarded, not only to the outside, but also to the inside. At the same time, three groups were deployed, with more than twenty large crossbows, all aimed at the tents inside.

When Song Qixun walked outside the tent, he heard a roar of beasts from inside. He frowned, pushed open the tent curtain and walked in.

What caught my eye were three black-haired monkeys that were slightly shorter than normal humans, but with unusually strong limbs and long, slender upper limbs that reached their knees. One of the monkeys in the middle had a long, narrow scar on its face, causing one of its eyes to be blind. Its fangs and black face made it look even more ferocious.

At this time, the three black-haired monkey monsters each held a piece of broken limbs and blood food in their hands, such as arms, ribs, and human heads. They were gnawing on them until the bloody smell in the tent made people vomit, and the scene was disgusting.

The hands of several personal soldiers behind Song Qixun unconsciously grasped the hilts of the swords at their waists, and the veins on the back of their hands bulged, but they endured it.

"Song Qixun, you're finally here. I thought you were going to hide from me again! Haha, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation this time, my Baitoushan clan will never let you go!"

The one-eyed black-haired monkey demon with a scar on his face was very rude when he spoke. His voice was rough and harsh, and it was harsh but with obvious arrogance. He was not at all afraid that he was facing Song Qixun, a general who was in charge of an army.

Song Qixun snorted coldly and found a chair to sit down.

"Didn't I tell you last time not to bring bloody things when you come to my place? Didn't you understand or are you deliberately causing trouble for me?" "Bah, what are you afraid of? I did a clean job on the way here and no one would know. Do you mind me eating just because you're hungry? Don't worry, this little bit of meat is just for the three of us to fill our stomachs, there won't be any leftovers for you.

But Song Qixun, what about your explanation? My two favorite grandsons both died in your hands. "

Song Qixun was not in a hurry at all.

The vicious and bloodthirsty demon in front of him has a name, Black Wood. He is one of the most powerful demons in Mount Paektu, with hundreds of monkeys under his command, many of whom are masters. He has also allied with the bandits in Mount Paektu, forming a force that cannot be underestimated. On weekdays, he wreaks havoc in a radius of a hundred miles, and few can control him.

Because he was transporting stolen goods, some mountain medicinal herbs, and helping with some shady things, Song Qixun had been connected with the demons and bandits in Mount Baekdu since he took office as the commander of Sandao City, and they have been closely connected to each other until now.

Especially the black wood monkey monster in front of him. It was through him that Song Qixun got the blood cherry fruit that he had lost before.

Blood cherry fruit is a rare treasure even in the immortal gate, so it is naturally not easy to get. The fact that Heimu can get it is also related to his roots, otherwise how can there be more to share with Song Qixun?
"How is the Black Mountain Demon King these days?" Song Qixun didn't even want to argue with the monkey demon who was clearly here to blackmail him, so he changed the subject instead.

"Humph, Mr. Song, don't change the subject! My ancestors are naturally very kind, but you must give me an explanation for killing my two grandchildren!"

There are scoundrels among humans, and there are no shortage of such people among the demons. The Heimu in front of him is one of them. Relying on the support of the Black Mountain Demon King, he is rampant and unscrupulous, and he often comes to Song Qixun to ask for money, which makes Song Qixun very annoyed.

"Hei Mu, your two grandchildren came to me just to sell their lives for money. Life and death are up to fate. If they die, blame their own incompetence. It has nothing to do with me. Do you think I'm easy to bully and want to get some benefits from me?"

Hei Mu twisted his neck and tore off a large piece of flesh from the head of the person in his hand. He chewed it and swallowed it before saying, "Song Qixun, I am not bullying you, but speaking reason with you. The soldiers in your army are also doing life-threatening work. Is it all over if you die? Isn't there a pension? Otherwise, who will help you work so hard?

Right?

Shouldn't you give an explanation?"

At the end, Hei Mu even raised the head in his hand that he had gnawed into pieces. The meaning was obvious, it was reminding Song Qixun what the "explanation" it wanted was.

"No, there have been undercurrents in Sandao City recently. The people in the government office are against me, and my life is not easy, so I can't let you mess around. If something happens, I won't be able to explain to the Black Mountain Demon King."

The black wooden monkey growled and said irritably, "Song Qixun, don't fool me! Haven't you been walking sideways in Sandao City for a long time? Who in a mere government office can compete with you? I don't care! You must give me ten portions of blood food, otherwise this matter will not end!"

Song Qixun still shook his head and said, "Liu Chengkun sold me out before he died. Fortunately, I worked hard to kill him, otherwise I would definitely not be able to keep my position as the general.

Now the government has asked the rookie head of the police station, Yang Qian, to keep an eye on me. I don’t dare to help you like I did before, so…”

"Wait a minute, who are you talking about? Yang Qian? That sounds familiar. Yes, that guy is the one who killed my two grandchildren!"

Song Qixun nodded and said, "That's the man. And Liu Chengkun was found out by Yang Qian. The blood cherry fruit I asked you to get was most likely stolen by him. Now he is like a dog let out by the government, following me with his nose up. How can I help you?"

Hei Mu bit the head in his hand and crushed it, sucked the juice that flowed out, and said sinisterly: "Then why not just kill him?"
