I have a magical tree

Chapter 103: Human hearts are far more treacherous than demons

Watching Xu Dao leave, Liu Jian quickly followed to see him off.

After leaving the underground secret room, Xu Dao stopped and suddenly said: "Have you told anyone about this place?"

Liu Jian shook his head quickly, "How dare you, little one! Even if I deliver food, I do it myself. I have never told anyone."

Xu Dao nodded with satisfaction.

Then Liu Jian first sent him back to the Demon Suppression Division, and then went to the medical clinic to get medicine.

As for whether Liu Jian will handle things well, Xu Dao believes that he will. Even if something happens to him, he doesn't dare to let anything happen to those children.

It was day and night. Oats, who had just returned home, hung his coir raincoat on a beam beside him with exhaustion.

He was about to throw the sword aside, but suddenly stopped, and even the next moment, he directly drew the sword out of its sheath and glanced around the room with a serious expression.

Someone has been in this house!

Oats may seem careless, but he is actually careful. Every time before leaving home, he will make a small trap that is easy to destroy but difficult to detect.

Now, that little arrangement has been triggered.

The next moment, his eyes were fixed on the small piece of paper pressed by a teacup on the table.

Picking up the note, Oats' expression gradually changed from solemnity to surprise, and then to confusion.

The note was sent by Medical Officer Xu, which was why he was pleasantly surprised, but what was explained in the second half of the note made him puzzled.

It was an address in the outer square in the west of the city. It didn't say what he was asked to do. It only said that he and Liu Jian were asked to rush to this place at noon the day after tomorrow. It cannot be brought forward or postponed.

Although Oats was confused, she still put the note into her arms, then put on the raincoat she had just taken off, walked out and went straight to Liu Jian's house not far away.

"Why are you coming to my house so late if you don't sleep? What? You want to go to Chunmanlou again?" Liu Jian opened the door and saw that what came was Oats. He was stunned for a moment, "I have no money!"

Oats shook his head and pushed Liu Jian directly into the house, "Go to Fu Chun Man Lou, I have something to do with you!"

When Liu Jian heard Oats' tone, he suddenly became serious, "What happened?"

Oats handed the note to Liu Jian, "Look at it!"

"Medical Officer Xu is back?" Liu Jian was also very surprised when he saw it.

"It should be true, but what Medical Officer Xu means is that it is fine for both of us to know about this matter, and no outsiders are allowed to tell it." Oats couldn't help but scratch her head, "I can understand this, but what does the last sentence mean? Are we going to go?"

Liu Jian thought for a while, "Go, why not?"

"Why, are you still worried that Medical Officer Xu has set a trap for us?" Liu Jian was speechless, "You don't even think about it, are you worthy? If we add up now, Medical Officer Xu can kill us with one finger!"

Oats nodded, "Did I say I won't go? However, what I'm curious about is actually not the location or what to do there, but the time!"

Oats stretched out her finger and tapped the word "the day after tomorrow" on the note.

Liu Jianwenyan also fell into deep thought. In fact, sometimes Oats is far more perceptive than him. Since Oats noticed this point in time, it means that this point in time may be really special.

So, will the day after tomorrow be the time of sudden change in the world?

It was early morning on the sixth day of September in the eighth year of Yuanshuo. This was the third day after Xu Dao returned to Yanghe.

But on this day, the heavy rain that had continued unabated for thirteen days actually gradually became lighter.

It was also on this day that countless officials set out from the county government office with invitations in hand and went to various places in the city.

The Demon Suppression Department, the Inspection Department, the Soldiers and Horses Department, the Cleaning Department, the Household Registration Department, the Hebo Office, the Shang Medical Bureau, in addition to the big families in the county, the Liu family, the Li family, the Sun family, and the Wang family!

The chief officials of each department and the heads of the wealthy families received invitations at the same time - the County Dignity Carrier invited everyone in the county government to discuss matters.

These people either looked solemn or confused, but no matter what, no one shied away, and they all rushed to the county government office.

Xu Dao also received the invitation, but he just opened it and looked at it before he threw it aside.

Very particular about it!

When he went out, he saw Wang Xian who was also rushing to the county government office.

But Wang Xian just glanced in his direction, then turned around and left. That look... maybe he was disgusted?

He had heard about this matter. Wang Xian and Huang Ji had always been at odds with each other, and they usually ignored each other. So it’s not surprising that Wang Xian had such a reaction!

Xu Dao entered the county government office. At this time, all the prominent people in the county were gathered here. Either he is the chief official of each department, or he is the head of a big family.

He also saw the teacher here. At this time, Mr. Ge seemed quite calm and didn't seem to be worried about what was going to happen next.

But that's right, with the super-grade escape talisman in hand, the chance of escaping is still very high, but the teacher probably didn't expect that his role in this matter was not to contribute to hunting dragons, but as a sacrifice.

Therefore, the human heart is sometimes far more terrifying than evil spirits.

Xu Dao randomly found a place to sit down and looked at the people in the hall. They were either whispering to each other, or sitting upright, waiting for the rightful owner to appear.

The news about Yan Chengyun's plan to hunt dragons has not spread, so probably only Xu Dao and Ge Lao here know about it.

Everyone else only knows that something big may happen in Yanghe County next, and that the county leader should take the lead in this matter, but no one knows what it will be.

After they came here, they also asked around to know some inside stories, but they gained little.

Even Ding Qi and Wang Xian, who have always been regarded as the confidants of the county magistrate, have no idea at all. Or maybe they actually know but don't want to say it?

However, we are already here, we can't just turn around and leave.

After months of drought and more than ten days of heavy rain, the rain has weakened today, which should be a cause for celebration, but no one present has such an idea. They all smelled something unusual from this natural disaster.

After waiting for a long time, just when everyone was getting impatient, Yan Chengyun finally showed up.

"Meet the county lord!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

Yan Chengyun smiled, "No need to be polite, sit down!"

Everyone sat down after hearing this, but their eyes were always on Yan Chengyun. What exactly did this man want to do by inviting them here today?

"Today, I invite you all here to tell you a piece of news. This news is related to the survival of Yanghe County, and you are all the backbone of Yanghe County, so you naturally have the right to know!" Yan Chengyun didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Except for Ge Lao who was eating snacks with his head down and Xu Dao sitting still, everyone else looked at each other in surprise.

"Please speak clearly, County Master!" The head of the Li family stood up and clasped his fists.

Others also echoed. They wanted to see what kind of news could actually affect the survival of the county.

"Before, there was a severe drought in the county for several months, and now it has been raining for half a month. Do you know why?" Yan Chengyun looked around.

"The power of heaven is unpredictable. Is there a reason?" Someone answered.

Yan Chengyun shook his head, "This is not a natural disaster, but a strange disaster!"

Everyone in the hall was silent. In fact, they were not too surprised by this news. They had guessed it before.

But Yan Chengyun's next sentence broke the silence of the hall!

"Moreover, it was a strange disaster caused by a super-grade monster!"
