Chapter 60 Interception
In the main hall of the Town Demon Division, there were only Lu Ming and Tie Lihua at the moment.Tie Lihua called him over, but remained silent for more than a quarter of an hour.

Lu Ming couldn't figure out what Tie Lihua was thinking for a while, so he could only sit dryly, and it was inconvenient to look at Tie Lihua.

After a long time, Tie Lihua sighed quietly and said, "Lu Ming."

"My subordinate is here." Lu Ming hurriedly raised his head to look at Tie Lihua, clapping his hands in agreement.

"I didn't expect you to come to this step so soon. Whether it's public or private, I should give you a chance to choose yourself." Tie Lihua stared into Lu Ming's eyes and said solemnly.

Lu Ming's heart moved, but he didn't speculate too much. He cupped his hands and said, "Please make it clear, my lord."

"You have made great achievements this time, and you have successfully broken through the ninth rank. It can be said that your strength and achievements have reached the pinnacle of the ninth rank, and the rewards I can give you will be less and less. Have you ever thought about leaving the Qing Dynasty? Lancheng town demon?" Tie Lihua stared at Lu Ming and asked dryly.

Lu Ming looked serious, and hurriedly bowed his watch loyally: "This subordinate does not want to! Qinglan Town Demon Master is the subordinate's home. As long as the leader does not abandon, the subordinate is willing to assist you all the time."

"You don't have to rush to refuse. With your current qualifications, you can stand alone in any county. Even, if you want, I can recommend you to be the head of the demon division in Donghuafu Town. Don't you want to make a career? ?" Tie Lihua looked at Lu Ming with burning eyes, and asked one after another.

"Of course not." Lu Ming thought inwardly.

If it was in the past, Lu Ming would still want to be a leader in other places, or join the larger platform of Donghuafu Town Demon Division.

However, now that Lu Ming is more and more aware of the geographical advantages of Qinglan City, how could he easily leave this place where he can frequently compete with evil spirits?
Qinglan City can be said to be the center of the vortex in the south of the imperial dynasty. It is backed by Donghua Mansion and even Yunkong Road, and directly faces the Nanjiang Zhennan Army and the Man Yaoling. Any small fish and shrimp that leak out are enough for Lu Ming to eat.

If he were to go to Donghua Mansion or even Yunkongdao City, where the singing and dancing are peaceful but undercurrents are turbulent, and fight with those officials every day, it would be too boring, and it would not be conducive to his long-term development.

With a sudden change in his mind, Lu Ming had once again handed over his hands, and firmly responded: "My lord, this subordinate still wants to stay in Qinglan Town to serve as a demon division."

Tie Lihua smiled slightly, and said: "Forget it, since that's the case, this time I will take the opportunity to recommend you as the deputy general of the eighth rank, and you can be the deputy commander of the demon division of Qinglan Town in the future."

Lu Ming was overjoyed, he liked this arrangement, status and power are after all every man's pursuit.Moreover, the salary of the eighth-rank lieutenant will also double, and one hundred taels per month is only the basic salary.

"My subordinates, thank you Commander for your cultivation." Lu Ming thanked hurriedly.

Tie Lihua smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me, I only have the right to recommend, whether I am competent or not depends on the attitude of Donghua Mansion, so this trip is very important. Do you understand?"

Lu Ming hastily answered, he also knew that if a ninth-rank official was appointed as an eighth-rank official, he could actually be regarded as a high-ranking official.There are even many demon emissaries who have just entered the eighth rank and have to wait in line for a vacancy before they have the opportunity to take up the position.

It is really a great kindness for Tie Lihua to recommend him bravely, but whether he can win it depends on his own performance.

Especially this time when he went to Donghua Mansion Town Demon Division in person, Lu Ming had to impress the adults there so that he could take advantage of the trend.

"Since you have reached the realm of ninth-rank consummation, you can choose an eighth-rank martial skill when you arrive at the demon master of Donghuafu town. With your achievements this time, no one will say anything." Tie Lihua urged again One sentence, this made Lu Ming leave.

It can be seen that because of Lu Ming's great loyalty, Tie Lihua has more trust and care for him.

Actually, what Lu Ming said was not against his will.He indeed regards this place as his home in this world, whether it is Lao Hei, Tie Lihua, or other emissaries of the demon town, they can bring him a little bit of warmth.

Lu Ming felt that there was nothing ridiculous about being able to stay in the demon division of Qinglan Town to guard his homeland.As for whether he will leave here in the future, let's wait and see when necessary.

That night, all the demon-suppressing envoys from the Law Enforcing Hall got drunk again in the Moon-Watching Tower. This time, everyone had a lot of achievements and rewards, so everyone was happy.

On October [-]th, just after dawn, Lu Ming brought Lang Song, Niu Bi and half of the demon envoys of the law enforcement hall, ready to go, and prepared to escort Sun Shengfu into the mansion together with Tie Lihua.

Tie Lihua soon appeared, dressed in brocade clothes and a dark red cape, she looked heroic and imposing.

The commander looked very solemn, and when he walked past Lu Ming, he whispered: "Be careful, this trip may not be peaceful."

Immediately, Tie Lihua boarded the tall horse at the front, gave an order, and more than a dozen prison carts and carriages loaded with medicinal herbs rolled away, leaving the city from the adjacent south gate.

Lu Ming followed behind on horseback, and the other six demon town envoys were scattered in the convoy, so be on guard.

"Could it be that someone really dares to ambush halfway?" Lu Ming thought of Tie Lihua's reminder just now, and looked at the convoy again, his thoughts fluttered.

Among other things, that carriage full of medicinal herbs is indeed valuable and worth selling.However, Tie Lihua personally escorted her, and if she wanted to rob her, she had to use at least a mid-to-late eighth-rank expert.

But would a majestic eighth-rank master offend Zhen Yaosi for these medicinal materials?Town monsters, this is the kind of people who are townspeople.

"If it's not for robbing money, then maybe it's... intercepting prisoners?" Lu Ming quietly glanced at Sun Shengfu who was in a daze. Is this person still worth using?

In any case, Lu Ming has become wary and ready to deal with it at any time.

After leaving the city, the convoy turned east again, and then headed north along the official road at the foot of Qinglan Mountain.This trip, they had to travel thousands of miles, and it took about half a month to arrive at Donghuafu City.

Along the official road, Lu Ming leisurely sat cross-legged on the horse's back, ups and downs with the bumping of the horse's back, but not swaying in disorder, which can be regarded as a kind of tempering of body skills.

Every time she passed a post station, Tie Lihua would let everyone rest for half an hour. She never had a meal and only ate the dry food she brought with her. Most of the time she was on her way.

After ten days like this, they are already two hundred miles away from Donghua Mansion, and they only need one more day to enter the boundary of Donghua Mansion without any worries.

But also here, Lu Ming found that whether it was Tie Lihua or Lang Song and other senior emissaries, they had become more cautious. Even the emissaries rarely communicated with each other, and the atmosphere became much chillier.

That night, Tie Lihua rarely asked them to drive overnight, but stayed at a post station, only staying overnight without meals, and then set off after dawn.

"Master, the official road of Donghua Mountain is in front of you. After passing this place, you can enter the boundary of Donghuafu City." In the post station, Lang Song took out a map and explained to Lu Ming.

"Could it be that there are always dangers lurking in this area?" Lu Ming asked puzzled.

Now that it's close to Donghuafu City, and there are Donghuashan demon hunters nearby, isn't it safer?
Lang Song shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but the previous leader of the Qinglan Town Demon Division was ambushed and killed nearby."

Lu Ming was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Did the murderer be found later?"

Lang Song said solemnly: "No, no one knows where the masters came from. There are no permanent bandits and powerful people in this area. With nothing to gain, they can only let it go."

After pondering for a while, Lu Ming asked, "Do you know the reason?"

"It is said that the leader at that time was investigating the suspicious case of the county government." Lang Song said with a strange expression.

"I see. No wonder Tie Lihua is so cautious. This Wude is really a habitual offender..." Lu Ming thought of Tie Lihua's advice and vigilance along the way, and his heart became clearer.

"Behind the county government office, there are masters, maybe from Qinglan Mountain, or... Donghua Mansion?" Lu Ming secretly speculated.

"By the way, remind all brothers that once you encounter a strong enemy, self-protection is the first priority, and nothing else matters." Lu Ming instructed Lang Song again.

Although Tie Lihua had reminded him that Sun Shengfu and medicinal materials were very important to Lu Ming's promotion, in Lu Ming's mind, the safety of his own troops was more important.

Lang Song's expression moved slightly, he hesitated to speak, cupped his hands at Lu Ming, and backed out.

It was late at night, the weather was very cold, and the wind was howling outside the post station, making people reluctant to go out.

At four o'clock, Lu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and said secretly: "Here we come!"

He didn't expect that the other party would dare to strike at the post station. This was not only a contempt for the demon priest of Qinglan Town, but also an outrageous provocation to the entire Donghua Mansion.

Almost at the same time that he noticed something, a cold drink blew up the night sky, "Who dares to offend the town demon?!"

Before Tie Lihua's voice fell, her figure had already flown out, and the golden light on her body pierced through the cold wind and dark night, illuminating the official road outside the station.

"I've heard that Master Tie is famous for a long time, and I'm going to learn it tonight." Outside the post station, a figure covered in night clothes was holding a long gun, and his voice was hoarse and deep.

Lu Ming was not in a hurry to go out, but immediately ordered Lang Song and others to gather the prison car and medicinal materials together, and everyone guarded the surroundings to prevent the other party from making any noise.

After the arrangement here was complete, Lu Ming turned his attention to the masked guest outside, and secretly said, "Late eighth stage?"

Lu Ming judged from the aura exposed by the other party that this person should be a real warrior in the late eighth stage, who was in the same situation as Tie Lihua.

boom!
Tie Lihua didn't talk much to the other party at all, and the lancet in her hand was already violently chopping down, and the first move was the machete technique to achieve perfection.

In Tie Lihua's hands, this saber technique unleashed a particularly powerful power, and the official road in front of her was under this saber, creating a gully.

As for the masked guest who met the saber head-on, he danced his spear as a wheel, deflecting the saber away, and lifted it lightly.

"Master Tie, don't hide your clumsiness. This kind of saber technique can't break my long spear." The masked man drank very comfortably, and the long spear shot out from the center of the wheel, like a starburst, piercing directly into Tie Lihua's head Face to face.

"This is... an eighth-rank martial skill!" Lu Ming was secretly surprised. This kind of use of the power of Qi and blood completely surpassed the scope of a ninth-rank martial skill.

"Miss Tie also has eighth-rank martial skills." Lu Ming couldn't help worrying, he had never seen Tie Lihua fight with all his strength, and wondered if his sister-in-law could withstand the opponent's eighth-rank martial skills.
