Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Tall Man is Flat
Solemnly accepting the deputy commander token given by Zhong Qianzhong himself, Lu Ming respectfully retired, and waited outside the hall for half an hour before seeing Tie Lihua walk out with a solemn expression.
Lu Ming saw that Tie Lihua had something on his mind, but he didn't ask too much, and the two of them left the Fucheng Demon Division at the moment and went to Donghua Restaurant to meet with the other town demon envoys.
"Congratulations to Deputy Commander Lu!" In the backyard of the restaurant, everyone heard that Lu Ming had been successfully promoted, and immediately congratulated them again and again.
"Hall Master, should we have a big meal here?" Niu Bi seemed to think of the unique wine and food of Donghua Restaurant again, and couldn't help but coax with saliva.
"Alright, go back and celebrate. Set off immediately and return to Qinglan City. Tie Lihua frowned and interrupted everyone, as if she was a little absent-minded.
Everyone hurriedly responded, in front of Tie Lihua, they didn't have the courage to bargain.
"Go back to Mochizuki Tower, don't raise your appetite too much, old cow. Lu Ming said with a smile, slightly relieving the tense atmosphere.
Everyone did not delay, quickly packed their bags, and immediately left Donghua Restaurant and went out of the city.
When they came, they rode and led the way, but when they returned, they were driven by their own speed, and they were much faster than they galloped.
It's just that the speed of the group of eight people is uneven after all, and they still can't rush back to Qinglan City on the same day, so they have to rest overnight at the post station halfway up.
It was the fifth day of the first month of November, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the four fields were silent.
Nearly four o'clock, Lu Ming in the post station room suddenly turned over, quietly listened to the surrounding movements, changed into night clothes, and came out of the window with a mask in the wind.
Silently descending to the outside of the room where Tie Lihua was, Lu Ming held a letterhead with spiritual power, passed through the gap in the window, and threw it in.
"What person?!" suddenly came out, and a slender figure broke out of the window and landed in the courtyard, holding a lancet, full of blood and blood, and the golden light was shining.
"Iron Maiden reacts so fast. Lu Ming naturally did not show up, he had already returned from the wind, and after falling into the room, he quickly changed back into the brocade clothes of the Demon Suppression Division, and rushed into the courtyard with a knife.
"Commander, what's wrong?" Lu Ming swept to Tie Lihua's side in a few steps, holding a knife to protect him, and asked with a nervous expression.
Lang Song and the others were not slow to react, and they quickly rushed out to protect the left and right.
The iron pear garland looked around, was silent for a moment, shook her head, and spread her left hand to look at the letterhead.
There were only a few numbers on it, but it made Tie Lihua's brows furrow deeper, and her eyes flickered continuously.
"Robber, Fu Si Zhang Qianmo, be careful. "The payment is two words, Lu Ping.
Tie Lihua didn't hide it from Lu Ming, and gave him a look before putting it away, but she didn't show it to the other demon envoys, but waved them back.
Lu Ming showed a 'surprise', and pretended to be puzzled: "Is it the master who pulls out his sword to help when he sees injustice?
Tie Lihua shook her head, and after hesitating, she gently bowed her head and said, "Although the handwriting is ugly, it shouldn't be a lie." ”
"Should you be concerned about the handwriting? I wrote it with my left hand in order to hide the identity of the master, hey......" Lu Ming roared in his heart, and said calmly on his face: "If it's true, how do we deal with it?"
Tie Lihua shook her head again, and said calmly: "Although this person has helped, his motive is unknown, and there is no evidence, and he can't ask the Great Commander to thoroughly investigate a deputy commander from the Seventh Rank for no reason. ”
"Then let's wait and see what happens?" Lu Ming asked puzzled. As far as he knew, Tie Lihua didn't look like such a reluctant person.
Tie Lihua snorted coldly and said, "Let's go back first, for Deputy Commander Zhang, be careful first." ”
"Yes, LinkedIn. Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Tie Lihua was wary of Zhang Qianmo, his trip to deliver the letter was not in vain.
As for whether Zhang Qianmo can be defeated because of this, or even uprooted the conspirators, he has to find the right time and hit with one blow.
The post station regained calm, but except for Lu Ming, I'm afraid few people could really sleep peacefully.
When the sky was slightly bright, Tie Lihua gathered everyone and continued to rush with all her might, and finally rushed back to Qinglan Town at sunset.
The two hall masters who stayed in Qinglan City, as well as many demon envoys, rushed to the main hall when they heard the news.
"From now on, Lu Ming will serve as the deputy commander of the Demon Division of Qinglan Town, and all the halls of the division must act according to the order and not be lazy. Tie Lihua announced Lu Ming's promotion in front of all the demon envoys, and at the same time gave him power.
"Yes!" everyone, including Zhao Qingyun and Xu Ben, agreed in unison.
Although Zhao Qingyun and Xu Ben's qualifications are better than Lu Ming's, since Lu Ming made great contributions this time and broke through to the Nine Grades of Consummation, they have already realized that this day has come, and they don't have any bad feelings of being subservient.
In the Demon Suppression Division, Lu Ming has achieved both of these points with martial arts and merit, and his promotion to the position of deputy commander is naturally expected.
"The position of the head of the law enforcement hall is still held by Deputy Commander Lu for the time being, and if there is a suitable candidate, he will be appointed again. Tie Lihua said again.
"Yes. Lu Ming hurriedly agreed.
He noticed that Lang Song and Li Zhaodi were both a little moved, and there was no doubt that the two of them were still the candidates with the best chance of being promoted to the position of law enforcement hall master.
dismissed everyone, and Tie Lihua only left Lu Ming to discuss in the main hall.
"Lu Ming, you are now the deputy commander of the Demon Division of Qinglan Town, and you should be loyal to your duties and take on greater responsibilities. Tie Lihua looked solemn, rubbed her eyebrows and said solemnly.
"Yes, Lu Ming should do his best to eradicate the demons and keep the party safe. Lu Ming hurriedly said righteously.
Tie Lihua nodded, her expression softened slightly, and said: "The Great Commander has said that it is extremely likely that a big war will break out between the Zhennan Army and the Southern Barbarian Demon Lord, so the area around Qinglan City, which is an important grain route, must be eliminated from all demons as soon as possible." ”
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, a big war was going to break out in the south? This is a major event of the Shenwu Dynasty. Although there are constant frictions between the Zhennan Army and the Barbarian Demon Territory on weekdays, real big battles rarely occur, and with Lu Ming's understanding, at least ten years have not happened.
It's just that Lu Ming is still a little puzzled: "The demons and evil in the area of Qinglan City have already been cleared by us, and there is a law enforcement hall to patrol every day to prevent it, and there will never be any more accidents." ”
This is not Lu Ming's boasting, since he implemented the whack-a-mole operation, not to mention the area of Qinglan City, even the neighboring counties have no demons and demons.
Now, there are demon envoys patrolling on the ground, and Lu Ming's nine black ants swimming underground, and even those flying in the sky have Lu Ming, a supernatural person who resists the wind, to clean up, so why do you need to worry?
Tie Lihua looked at Lu Ming meaningfully, and said word by word: "Demons, sometimes just above the court, are people and not demons. They are the targets we need to purge out. ”
